Hello everyone,
The 1.6.15 patch is now available. This fixes a few lingering issues in Stardew Valley, balances some things, and adds some quality of life improvements. To new and seasoned players alike, I hope you are enjoying Stardew Valley.
(for people with mods, please be aware there are several "beta" branches available which can help you ease into the new update. For example, there is a previous_version branch which is set to 1.6.14, as well as a few other version targets.)
1.6.15 Patch Notes:
