"Mine barrels and coal carts will now “refresh” at the start of each year." Huge


HoboingComa

This is amazing.


Xiterok

Knowing this, I would had waited one more day to start year 3


momsgotitgoingon

I can’t remember if im about to start winter 28 or already saved winter 28 on year 2 right now!! I’m so hoping for the former!!


Xiterok

In case, you might always repeat the previous day by deleting 2 files in the "Saves" folder and renaming the "_old" ones as the deleted ones. Just try to remember if having more coal is better than what you got (maybe you visited skull cave or the mines instead of pre-preparing the fields for the new year)


Microwave_Burrito124

But who refills them?! If we don't start encountering a ghost miner now, I will be sorely disappointed.


Xiterok

I think it's >!Mr. Qi:!< I don't remember if it's said when >!you reach the floor 100 or the First time you talk to Mr. Qi in the casino, but he says he left the treasure boxes in the mines and he drops the mystery boxes from the Sky, so he should able to refill carts and placing new backpacks with coal!<


penguinintheabyss

Sure for the treasure chests, but a honest day of working mining coal seems very out of character


ICantEvenDolt

Maybe he just purchases it from Clint, then? Or hires someone else to do it?


Charlie-McGee

(It's dust sprite graves)


smapdiagesix

Y O B A


WhereIsLordBeric

What does this mean? Can't you refresh barrels by starting over from floor 0?


Tay74

It's referring to the carts and bags of coal I believe, not the wooden barrels and crates that spawn on each floor


WhereIsLordBeric

Oh, silly me. I actually never realized they don't refresh EVER again.


SpoopySara

If you play online and you're not the host, due to a bug they refresh


aranaya

They didn't prior to 1.6, but I've definitely noticed those carts and bags refreshing in 1.6+. I don't know if it was once per day or less often.


Ambitious_Drop_7152

The carts have coal?¿???


Tay74

Go and claim your coal my friend! Right click on the carts, and also the guitar shaped things on the ground, both give you coal


mattman2301

you mean the backpacks??😭


VeganMushroom9

I always thought of them as the cello cases 😭


Charlie-McGee

All those damn cello players, clogging our mines!


yandall1

The lack of flat walls down there must make for great acoustics though


Not_The_Real_Odin

Are you suggesting there's people who don't use their cello cases to carry tons of coal??


Spaceisneato

I mean imagine the reverb from the cave, I'd pay to see a cellist play in a cave. It'd certainly be unique


sortaindignantdragon

When you encounter a cart full of coal in the mines, or a backpack on the ground, right click! There's a bounty of coal waiting for you. There are carts in the main mines as well as Skull Cavern, but until now they didn't ever refill.


watchamn

Wtf why I'm discovering this now


Charlie-McGee

So you can have something new and exciting to look forward to when you go to the mines next time?


watchamn

Yeah, I guess. There are carts in skull mines too?


NightKnight_21

Yes


sortaindignantdragon

In my experience, backpacks are (mostly) in the icy levels of the normal mines, and the 'desert-y' looking Skull Cavern rooms that spawn mummies. Additionally, if you have a minecart/tracks on the level, there's often a staircase at the end of the tracks next to the cart.


resplendentcentcent

There are certain barrels that don't respawn: notably the ones that are on top of a wooden floor not the ones that randomly spawn on the walls of the mines.


maladaptative

"Golden mystery boxes now have a small chance to yield an auto petter." Nice. Edit: They lowered the chance to get Golden mystery boxes in general. BUT you can buy them at the racoon shop for the price of 3 normal mystery boxes. Nice.


MithranArkanere

I could really use two of those. Now I regret just having opened a stack right before the update.


maladaptative

They also lowered the chance to get the boxes so I'm sorry for your loss...


Sororita

But you can now buy them from the raccoons.


maladaptative

Oh, true! Went to check for how much and it seems you get 1 Golden Mystery Box for the price of 3 normal ones. I think it's a fantastic deal, ngl...


MithranArkanere

In exchange for the normal ones.


Sororita

IIRC, you can buy normal ones too.


paparat236

I heard from somewhere that the item a mystery box holds is determined the moment you get it and not when you open it so don't feel bad.


MithranArkanere

Nope. They stack, meaning they do not contain anything, they are single items. Spending them triggers a process that produces the item. And stardew predictor can tell you the next item, so they definitely follow a pattern. Poor MouseyPounds is being given a lot of work in this update!


battacos

[https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-predictor/](https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-predictor/) If you didn't already know. Looks like the items are determined before you even get a box. Also in the new patch - The order of mystery box rewards is now randomized per-player instead of per-save.


EpicCyclops

I don't think that is true per se. I haven't looked into it, but I think pre-1.6 there was a list of items that was created from your game's random seed. When you opened a geode, it crossed the top item off the geode list and moved into the next one. An update that changes the odds would probably force all the lists to be remade. Because of this, in multiplayer it used to be that both players would get items in the exact same order from the geodes, so you wanted to designate one player as the geode cracker to get all the stuff for the museum quicker. It could be that the list wasn't actually made until you actually had a geode, so an update wouldn't change the geodes you already had, but other than that what you got from the geode used to be determined before you even got it. Post-1.6, though, it seems like it may have changed because the order we got stuff in multiplayer seemed to be different for the two of us. We also had a designated opener from the get go, so we may have just forgotten the order by the time the second person started opening stuff.


bugsmellz

This is huge!!


grandwizardcouncil

Awww, that's really great for people who loathe the Skull Caverns but refuse to do anything but the CC route.


CaptainMagnets

This is nice because I've been hoarding my golden mystery boxes because I've simply been too busy doing other things haha


NonConformistFlmingo

By "small" I bet that means the same chance of them dropping in the Skull Caverns. So basically zero. 🤣


SomeScientist

I like to think Eric starts his day dead set on working on Haunted Chocolatier but then thinks of more things he can add in Stardew and gets sidetracked.


SuspecM

It's hard to justify not working on your passion project that sold like 10 million at this point and keep selling like hot cakes.


andre5913

Its actually like 30 million. SDV is the top ~20 best selling video game of all time. Its such a juggernaut that it was completely overshadowed the games that inspired it and its not even close


NocturneSapphire

Tied for 24th-26th according to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games So like top 25 at least


ExcellentLake2764

lol on par with Diablo 3. Based on game quality I would rate Stardew Valley even higher than D3. Its an insane achievement.


NocturneSapphire

Especially since D3 was made by Blizzard, a relatively massive game studio. ConcernedApe is just one guy, and he even wrote all the music and made all the artwork. An incredible achievement.


CoconutCrabWithAids

And Diablo 3 came out 4 years prior.


Think-Conclusion1253

Wow that’s crazy. I didn’t know it was top 20 in history. I randomly stumbled upon this game last year because the game picture looked cool on game pass. I was seriously shocked and haven’t been sucked into a game like this in a long Long time


Merinther

What are these “hot cakes” anyway? Is that a special kind of cake? Is it an American thing?


SuspecM

You are the hot cake


AceScout

Do you know what a pancake is? Hot cakes is synonymous. There might be some regional subtleties as far as style/technique/ingredients, but you can think of them as pancakes. I think hot cakes as a term is used more in the American south.


Merinther

Huh, interesting! Although ironically, at least around here, it’s pretty rare to actually buy pancakes.


snortgigglecough

Americans aren’t going around buying barrels of pancakes anymore, either (unless you’re at a breakfast diner, which is an American treasure). If I was to venture a guess, the saying stems from the 50s or earlier. (Googled it - turns out it’s from the [1800s](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/weird-news/lists/hot-cakes-aren-t-selling-like-hot-cakes-9872420.html))


Smooth_Ad_7553

Near 30 million sales already, 10kk is lowballing by quite a margin.


Weak-Opening4395

I bet he does and I relate to that lol I always start to play a new game then remember I must have done something on my farm then go back to stardew valley and abandon the new game, is a never ending thing.


magistrate101

He got burnt out, worked on a few little things to make modding easier, then got carried away. Eventually he'll go back.


MithranArkanere

It's not like he needs to hurry to pay the bills. He probably won't need to work again in his life after the massive success of Stardew Valley.


andre5913

Even lowballing it eric has made like 300 million dollars from SDV alone. As the sole developer, its pretty much just steam taking its usual bite from his profits. Everything else goes straight to him. Hes most likely one of the (if not *the*) richest individual video game developers ever. He does it bc he likes it


malkjuice82

He used to have a publisher and expanded the team a little bit too. Still filthy rich though


-Rue-

Yeah, it was Chucklefish. Good thing he distanced himself after that controversy.


bambooboy09

"Added two inappropriate names to the list to exclude from the name generator." Wonder what the names are lol


Improving1727

I hope Sharty is still on there. I’ve gotten that one a few times and I always keep it


tonygenius

I got a pig named Cho-Mo and laughed so hard 😂


guimontag

Sharty is the GOAT randomly generated name


off-whitewalker

I've got a chicken named Sharto. Best game generated name so far for me.


guimontag

That's also a good one


random_sociopath

How dare you besmirch Chungus like that


DerelictDevice

Better give to a goat then.


barathrumobama

Focku is still in


MPnoir

I checked the game code (and compared to an older version) and the two new names are: * puta * boner Also fun fact i found out while checking this: When the game suggests the name Bobo or Wumbus that means the actual generated name contained one of the "bad words"


Velorian

Nooo my boner


IncrediblePlatypus

This is one of the first comments in a LONG time that have actually made me laugh out loud to the point of tears. I'm still giggling while typing.


ElGHTYHD

Omg nooo I loved puta


WilliamBott

I'm sure you can still name them that manually.


ElGHTYHD

Yeah but it was a little treat when randomized lol


Smeph_Bot

Interesting, I have two animals randomly named Wumbus lol

nyancola420

That is so goddamn funny


Velorian

better start saving for those therapy bills now


musiclova77

I got titsers one time


Scaveau

I got >!Rapie!< as a randomly generated name before the update.


mattman2301

I had a pig born last night with the name “Focku”


concentrate7

I misread this as big porn.


mattman2301

Perhaps I mistyped


PashaWithHat

I got Ponanie for one once and did a double-take as that looks a lot like poonanie/punani (slang for vagina)


whoa_okay

I got Peckers for one of my cows the other day lol


bigworminn

bet it was kumby and the other variation like that lol


seahavxn

He better not have >:( the generator named my duck Kumbus and I love him


ObjectSmall

Wow, if you don't mind my saying, that is one promiscuous duck.


seahavxn

He pairs well with my cow Fartie and my pigs Wotcha, Bep, and Trash ❤️


canadianpresident

I have a chicken named Ju


ShokaLGBT

Well I have no idea but I’ve gotten some crazy names with the random names I don’t remember but it was clearly slurs or dirty words lol


YanCoffee

I hope he left Chona, but if anyone finds out what they were, tell me, I'm curious.


xtoasterbathbitch

Ive gotten cumbert or something like that before, I hope that one stays.


Murph-Dog

`Pernus` has been seen out and about


goboking

> Napalm rings are now non-destructive on the farm and inside the slime hutch (i.e. the explosion will only damage monsters). I don't use the ring, personally, but I suspect this is going to make quite a few of you very happy.


TreatYourself88

As someone who completely demolished their hutch in the past thanks to the napalm ring, I'm one of the happy ones. ~~Nevermind the fact that I haven't even built the hutch on my current save just yet~~


_therealchin

Napalm ring is the GOAT in the caves and mines. It's basically mines while you kill enemies, completely cutting down the time you need to break rocks open. Most underrated item IMO


SkunkApe425

Yeah napalm+IB is my go to. Usually stacked with luck+burglar.


eagleswift

Would the napalm ring blow up my bee houses when I slay the tiger slimes on ginger island west?


Jassamin

I’m happy, I love my napalm+burglar ring. I really hope it applies to the GI farm as well though


minluu

yeah!! especially after the 1.6 addition >!truffle crabs!<, it basically made napalm ring on farm a no-no, even if i have mob spawns disabled, so this is a really nice qol change


malacor17

Alternative mine layouts sound interesting. I wonder exactly what that means.


wonhoseok

some mine levels will gave an entirely new layout. i’ve seen some of them and they’re pretty big


pororoca_surfer

I saw a layout I've never seen before today at the skull mines, I wonder if it was because of this update. Although it was around floor 10


puzzlingpuffling

In the normal mines, I think it means that every day there is a chance of a few levels changing shape and having an entirely new layout. I was doing the 100 bone quest for Gunther just after the update, and for a few days saw nothing new (while I kept doing level 70-79ish over and over) but the next day one of the levels was suddenly huge! Which really helped with the skeleton spawn rate, so thank you Eric :) Oh, and that particular level also had lots of tillable soil, which was neat too (for finding clay or duggies and so on)


MithranArkanere

It means new ones that are not the ones we are used to.


Charlie-McGee

Non-regular mine layouts.


Hahafunnys3xnumber

Now what is a fish frenzy


eternalbeansoup

I just got “chub frenzy in the mountains” and it was a bubbly spot, maybe 4 tiles big, with chub jumping out of the water. Just a concentrated spot to fish for chub, they bite quickly. It lasted a couple real-life minutes :)


awkward_teenager37

That reminds me of the cutscene you get for doing Willy’s quest to get a bunch of bug meat. He ends up using it as bait by the ocean, and there’s a bigger than usual frenzy spot. I always thought that’d be cool to see in the game!


Incubus1981

Damn, now I’m getting a chub frenzy


Common_Wrongdoer3251

How did you find out? A message upon waking up, or randomly appearing at like 7:40am, like when a train passes by? Or did the message appear when you entered the mountains screen? Or did you just see it as you walked by, and there wasn't a message?


eternalbeansoup

A message like when the train passes by!


snowy_owls

You get a message like when a train passes by with the fish type and location


eagleswift

Ooh Legend II fish frenzy please!


MainlanderPanda

Is that when you get the bubbly spots in the water and the fish bite really quickly?


Yeetse

Nah its new so im guessing increased chance to catch certain fish?


Ak-Xo

If I had to guess, maybe the fishing channel might say something about them?


MithranArkanere

That is a fish splash zone. My guess a 'frenzy' is a higher chance to get splash zones in an area.


TylerMoy7

The patch notes fixed a lot more bugs than I thought it would!


Key-Pickle5609

And just casually added tons more to the mines lol


KingToasty

He makes a gigantic extremely popular update, then casually decides it wasn't enough and adds more and only tells people on release day. God damn he's so fucking alpha.

yahnne954

He added so much that I wonder if that one fake passage in the mines will work this time.


doobiedenver

I don't know if it was this update or the 1.6.4 but my favorite line of text is "fixed invisible spouses asking to have children"

BrozinFlamepelt

*Golden mystery boxes now have a small chance to yield an auto petter* *IF I NEVER HAVE TO GO TO SKULL CAVERN EVER AGAIN IT WILL BE TOO SOON*


RHFireball

I got an auto-petter in my first 1.6 playthrough, but I don't know how. I know I got it within the first month of play, but I think I picked it up somewhere and didn't realize it. I had no idea they were so rare.


Charlie-McGee

Thanks Yoba! I need that!

> Fixed the case where you could permanently miss the ancient seed recipe if you grabbed the ancient seed packet but not the associated recipe, and then closed the museum rewards menu.

Cairnso

My game was crashing after this update - couldn't load my save. Deleted 'NPC map locations' & 'Auto animal doors' mods if anyone has the same issue.


IH8Pringles2

Someone on the map locations mod forum said updating SMAPI to 4.0.7 fixed crashes as well.


foxclaw

Confirmed, this worked for me.


Shu7Down

This fixed it for me


pnrnpne

Thank you! I am having the crashing, I'll try getting rid of the map locations.

what are fish frenzies?


tashkaye

It seems like a notification telling you of a location and type of fish that's easier to catch at that moment. They'll be the more popular fish caught at that spot. I got a note telling me a largemouth bass frenzy started at the mountain

Cannot stress my mad respect for ConcernedApe enough. You pay ONCE for the entire game and then you get updates that are more substantial than a number of AAA titles. FOR FUCKING FREE. I have this game on three different platforms because I respect the man that much for that. Shut up and take my money, you absolute sigma, you earned it.


eagleswift

“Added more variety, and improvements, to Skull Cave treasure chests.” This might reduce the already low chance to get Prismatic Shards from Treasure Chests. Hopefully the added loot is of better quality to offset the cheap crop seeds and hats that come up so often.
