Hello!
I've been a bit conflicted as of late, its been a few years sense I last touched the game.
I've really wanted to sit down and properly do a 100% playthrough. The main issue right now thats kept me from starting is simply just a few factors. I like to play with a few different mods, And the last two playthroughs ive done, I coincidently started playing within a week of major updates of stardew That broke all mods and stopped my playthrough until mods got updated. Given that this has happened to me twice now, when i was originally considering starting a new playthough, it was September of last year. and before i did, i saw a lot of teased stuff for 1.6 with everything i found, it almost seemed as if it could come out with a few months, especially with the limited information mentioning crunch periods and the sorts (which from my own game dev experience usually means nearing the end of a development cycle). So i held off on starting a playthough to prevent the same thing happening again where a major update breaks mods soon after i begin a playthrough.
Given 1.6 was said to have a lot of changes to frameworks that would be guaranteed to break mods and needed mods to be ported to the new framework kind of only escalated this paranoia for me. especially sense I know for a fact I will need to find replacement mods, or go without certain things after 1.6 given a few mods I use are depreciated (though still work in current version.) This fact also kinda made me more paranoid as it meant that whenever the update actually released, i'd likely have to wait months more for mods to be ported and updated.
So in October I made the decision to wait. assuming it would likely be within the first quarter of 2024, maybe even as early as December. but now given that ive waited 4 months under this pretense, and given i'm horrid at finding information, im starting to doubt if my assumption that it was nearly end of development cycle was actually the case. I'm starting to realize That I may very well be waiting for something thats still many months if not a year away.
So I'd thought I'd ask here, given i feel the people here likely have a better grasp at the general timing of things than I Do.
