The creator of Stardew Valley reveals that the upcoming 1.6 Update will add a honeymoon period along with another clever change.

ConcernedApe has revealed that a brand-new Meadowlands Farm with a starter coop and two chickens will be coming in Update 1.6. Various farm types in Stardew Valley allow players to prioritize certain builds, with greater focus on certain crops, foraging opportunities, storage space, and more.

This Meadowlands Farm will allow players to have an early start on building their in-game finances and subsequently be able to build and unlock more content even faster. Fans have already begun celebrating the new farm type announcement, along with the flurry of other preview details.
