1.6 Update What happened in your game today?

I destroyed Paddy's save file by stupidity and careless file manipulation because I'd forgotten the protocol for intermediate saves.

Started a save for someone called Smee, whose one goal is to catch Legend in year 1.

Today I, or rather, Robin, finished building my 78th Big Shed on my farm. There's still space, but I think that's all I want. She's been busy the last few years, time for a break!

So far,
Crystalariums: 8,645
Diamonds: 409,922
Skull Cavern Iridium Ore PB: 848
Weeks until 1.6: 1
:D
I would like to see a picture of this manufactorum

Started a save for someone called Smee, whose one goal is to catch Legend in year 1.
Smee wasn't a very good worker. He spent lots of time cruising the internet. Back in the day, he would spend his time cruising usenet fora with names like rec.sports.fishing, and rec.cryptids.cryptoichthyology.

Lately, those communities had found new life on Reddit, and that's what he was devoting time to when he should have been reviewing branch merchandising strategies and conversion rates.

It wasn't entirely surprising then, when the director of marketing analytics stopped by and uttered those four little words:

"You got a minute?"

"Sure."

Even though Smee did all his "extracurricular" browsing with private mode on, all of his tracking history was there thanks to a little tool called Fiddler.

He packed up his desk and found the little note from Grampa. "A farm huh? Now that sounds entirely too much like work," he thought. But it was in Stardew Valley, and there were rumors of a fish up there like the inflated throat of a bullfrog, but with fins. It was called Legend. Many had claimed to hook it, but no one ever caught it. So, he hopped a bus to Stardew Valley with glory on his mind.

The moment he got off the bus, he was accosted by this redhead and an officious little dink in a bowler who were going on about his grandfather blah blah blah, farming blah blah blah, and - of all things - parsnips! Blsh blah blah.

Well, he picked up on the bit about "stick stuff in this box, and it gets sold," and he realized he needed a little more startup capital than he had, so he butchered a bunch of trees, broke a lot of rocks, got tired, stuck the wood and stone in the box and woke up 250g richer.

Then he got a letter from the guy who ran the local bait-and-tackle. Now that guy, he could relate to! Even though most of Smee's fishing knowledge was of the sort vicariously acquired off the internet, he told a good story, and in return, Willy favored him with some of the local fishing lore and a cast off bamboo rod.

Fishing went slowly at first, but Smee never got the training rod. He must have had a talent, because he caught most of what he hooked, and graduated from that Huck Finn special to a fiberglass rod pretty fast. He was getting deft enough that the fish were coming in with less of a fight and in better condition.

Along the way, that officious little Lewis fellow dragged him into this decrepit old relic of a building, community blah blah blah, and the wizard summoned him, doped him up, rambled about a prophecy, and then confessed that he might be responsible for a child of uncertain lineage. Smee fled that encounter and got back to fishing.

He did other things too, when he had to. He chopped enough wood to get a bridge to a better fishing spot. He commissioned a kitchen for the farm and planted 16 potatoes when Willy told him about Dish O'the Sea. He went into the mines to kill insects for bait and get copper for tackle.

He achieved his raison d'etre on 21 Spring 1, at fishing level 9 with Dish O' The Sea for a +3 buff and a trap bobber. He harvested the potatoes (only crop he'd grown) and prepped the dish o'the sea the very morning of the catch. Getting copper for the trap bobber (built, not bought!) was eased considerably by having previously gotten Neptune's Glaive from a fishing chest.

Having gotten Legend, he booked out of town, but not before transferring the deed to the farm to that Morris fellow at the local JojaMart.

He hopped a freight to Zuzu city and parlayed his success into a job hosting a fishing show on a sportsman's network called FIBS.

It will probably be release worldwide during the day on Nov 4th in whatever CA's time zone is. Edit: I looked it up and he's in the Pacific time zone so that'll be Nov 5th for a whole lot of people.

Hello, I'm new to the forum, I'm from Spain, I apologize for my English, it's very bad, I just wanted to know if you know what time the update will be released in Spain, I'm trying to update and it tells me that I already have the most recent version and I don't. I find no one who talks about what time it leaves 😔

Worst case scenario an extra 12 hours won't hurt you. I know we're all excited but it will happen very very soon, myself included

I just finished selling my 100,000th honey!

It's something I've been working at for most of a couple years at this point on my mobile save and now I have to think if I want to ruin this pretty perfect looking number by selling more honey.

I also just got a whole 999 stack of Dolomite which marks my 17th full mineral stack, I'm now about 1/3 through all the mineral and gem stacks, I'll share a screenshot of my gems chest soon

Today is the last day of year 16, and I got my first Portrait, my current waifu, Leah.

She mentioned earlier, (as she does every year at this time) that we're going to have some fun tonight, to celebrate the new year. ;)

I just filed for divorce, of course, as I have many more portraits to obtain. Won't she be surprised in the morning :D
