Stardew Valley Creator Details Plans After Update 1.6
The creator of Stardew Valley reveals what his plans are after finishing work on the highly-anticipated Update 1.6.
Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe has revealed that Update 1.6 will include a big change to cutting down fruit trees. Previously, if a player cut down a fruit tree, the action would only yield wood. Fruit trees in Stardew Valley are one of the most valuable crops, so the accidental destruction of the trees can be largely detrimental. However, with the change coming in Update 1.6, cutting down a fruit tree will instead yield a sapling of that fruit. Saplings can then be replanted to regrow any trees that may have been destroyed. This allows players to more easily move fruit trees around on their farm without a major loss. The quality rating of the fruits from the original trees will also determine the speed at which the new saplings regrow, giving players better control over their crop strategies.
