Highly Requested Feature Finally Coming to Stardew Valley

In addition to the major content changes of Stardew Valley Update 1.6, Patch 1.6.3 will finally allow players to access Clint's shop and geode processing while a tool is being upgraded. Stardew Valley Patch 1.6.2 has already been released, and creator Eric «ConcernedApe» Barone is quickly rolling out even more updates.

First released in 2016, Stardew Valley is a life-sim game that features farming, fishing, mining, and more, as players enjoy a quaint life in the countryside of Pelican Town. Fans have adored the game for its wholesome storytelling and relatable characters, and Update 1.6 has been the biggest patch to date for the indie game. With players still experiencing the new content for the first time, many are now excited for one highly requested feature to finally be added to Stardew Valley.

ConcernedApe has revealed that Patch 1.6.3 will finally allow Stardew Valley players to purchase materials and get their geodes processed by Clint while their tools are being upgraded. Tool upgrades in Stardew Valley are key to progressing and building a bigger and better farm, but the time needed to improve these tools was often a major inconvenience. Previously, if the blacksmith Clint was working on a tool upgrade, players would be unable to access his shop to purchase coal and other materials, and they would also be unable to get their valuable geodes processed.

With Patch 1.6.3, fans will finally be able to get their tools upgraded without losing access to Clint's other services.

Update 1.6 added a massive amount of new content to Stardew Valley, along with various quality of life improvements and bug fixes. Some of the additions include over 100 new lines of dialogue, seasonal outfits for NPCs, wearable hats for pets, drinkable mayonnaise and jellies, improvements to artisan
