Stardew Valley's massive 1.5 update is out now on PC, add split-screen co-op, new world region, and more end-game content
- Thread starter Serene
- Start date
My partner and I picked up our old map that we hadn't played in a year, Spring Y3, and we have been just diving in like everything is brand new. It's just the best game -- it's one of only a handful of games she enjoys and really the only one we play together, and the game itself just gets better and better every year.
The mod scene is great too. I have not touched any new content style mods, but there are some great mods that smooth out quality of life issues and seemlessly fit into the game. SVE and the like will be there waiting for me once I've had my fill of base game content, which is awesome.

Yup! SMAPI (the mod platform) supports Windows, Mac and Linux 100%. My partner and I are on Mac and Linux respectively and have no issues playing with mods
When you say 3 rd play through, I thought this game was never one to be beaten?
Not the person you quoted, but I've started a new farm in Stardew at least once a year since it came out. I don't know why, but I enjoy starting over every now and then.
I find the early to mid game the most fun part of Stardew, so I re-start every so often.
The console updates are being worked on, but we don't have an ETA.
I think if you're just starting out, the newest map is hard to work with in terms of making money and completing the community center. I really enjoy the new map, but it's a lot harder to work with since you can't use sprinklers on most of it. I always like either the default map or the four corners map. I'm having fun with my beach map playthrough, but it doesn't quite fit with how I play the game usually.
i play each time until I feel "done"
Usually 100-150 hours.
I'm at 90 hours now on 1.5 and Stardew Valley Expanded and about to start year 3. Still having a blast and no end in sight.
There isn't really an end that I know of, just some milestones you can call good stopping points if you are feeling it.
All good for me on PS5. I've been playing since before the patch too.
Woop got the update ready to go and going to start a new farm, as missed a lot of updates and a basically maxed out farm is kinda boring. Any recommended farm layouts? My last was just default.
Still can't buy this game on the PS Store in Europe unfortunately, it got taken down and has been down for months.
Should be pretty easy to buy through a US account if you feel comfortable doing that.
Wow it has, that's kinda crazy as not heared a peep. You tried Amazon? I remember seeing it being on PS4 on there (on the UK store anyway).
Oh shit it's out! Maybe hades will have to be rested for a while
Animal Crossing never quite scratched that HM/SV itch for me. NH was the first I put a solid amount of hours to (60h), but when you're done with the new buildings, the game kind of feels pointless. SV has so much content i never managed to do everything and keep going back to it, and it even gets bulky updates like this that add so much.
I love this game.
Loaded up my old save on my Switch. I'm already on year 3 Spring but what's are some efficient ways of making money?
Buy pigs and make truffle oil, build kegs and make pale ale out of hops. Ancient fruit in the greenhouse too if you have access to it.
Honestly the SV content updates absolutely put Animal Crossing to shame
I wish the xbox version supported mods. I put +200h in the PC version, but had to use some QoL mods
During the first year potatoes and blueberries will make you rich (and exhausted every night). After that the goal is more to find a routine that doesn't bored you and gives you some time to improve your stats and discover everything the game has to offer, because anything produced regularly will give you money, but requirements and maintenance aren't equal. The best IMO is to have a main source of income that doesn't require much investment and time - doesn't matter if it's not the maximum you could earn - and do a bit of everything.
never played this but my partner is a big fan and we have it on switch..
can anyone pitch me on the split screen play? would we both be working on the same farm at the same time? like "you go harvest the sweet potatoes while i go fishing!" ? is it fun in co-op?

Is anyone on Switch having issues with freezing/pauses during CO-OP play (including a splitscreen, local, and online). Both of us are having freezings are intermittent points, multiple times per in-game day. It is quite jarring, especially when you're in the mines, because it can occur over a second or more at times. Sometimes, it causes the audio also freezes at whatever sound it was at.
Do I have to start a new game to enjoy this patch?
I haven't played for a few years (1.1 I think?) But don't really want to start since I already have a Year 7 ancient Berry wine farm.

You share the same Farm Land, but pretty much everything else can be done individually if you want. Money can be pooled or split (assuming it's the same as online) so you can be neighbor farms if you prefer it over co-oping. All skills are character based so you have to get them up yourselves and can specialize in 1 while you partner does another or just do everything together. Community Goals and events are shared though. It's a fantastic game and I loved the little of co-op I've done, it's basically the same content as single player.
There what I'm looking for. Something I can invest my wealth in that will convert into easy money for the rest of my playtime.
Good to know. Thanks.
As someone who hasn't played in a REALLY long time, how hard was it to jump back in to the end game?
Wife and I tried it out last night and really dug it.. she was a little down that we couldn't sign her in to her account for split screen, had to create a new character but it's all good.
I haven't played since 1.1 - is Slime Ranch worth it yet? I did a playthrough with it once and it was a massive hassle with very little payout.
If you've completed the community center you can get right to the new end game content (you'll get a letter in the mail in a couple days). If you are starting fresh, completing the community center takes 1 to 2 in game years depending on how well you plan.
I posted it in the Trophy community thread, but I'll say it again here, in case anyone is interested:
This patch made getting the "Fector's Challenge" Trophy (beat Journey of the Prairie King without dying) a trivial, menial task, since now you can quit the mini-game and resume from where you left. That means you can now play the first level, get a good start, quit, save your game, try again. If you fail the challenge, reload your save and try again.
I got the Trophy the legit way last week. Yay.
