What’s improved with Stardew Valley Update 1.6
Beyond the large amounts of new content, there are also a lot of improvements and quality of life changes. Here are some of the ones that stood out to me:
Overall, the Stardew Valley 1.6 update is what was promised - an iterative and improvement focused update with new content flourishes around, rather than the new major region or similar that was seen with Stardew Valley’s 1.5 update. It looks to fix a lot of player issues, and adds in some interesting new options.

Stardew Valley 1.6 is available now on PC, and will be coming to other platforms in the future.
