Stardew Valley Adds 40 New Mine Layouts and More, But Console Players Face Wait

Stardew Valley's dedicated fans have plenty to celebrate with the game's latest update 1.6.6, which follows a series of patches, culminating in a significant rework and addition of 40 new mine layouts. The update delivers a mix of fresh content, including the exciting fish frenzies, additional items for fish tanks, and enchantment changes. Particularly notable are the 20 new volcano dungeon layouts, as well as quality of life improvements and an extended range of items available through the Raccoon Shop. However, console and mobile players are advised to be patient, as the update for these platforms is still underway, with no confirmed release date at present.

Devoted miners will be pleased to hear that update 1.6.6 also ushers in enhanced functionality for bee houses with garden pots, ensures bee houses are more productive, and introduces new minecart depot layouts. Furthermore, players can now toggle the golden clock and benefit from a more focused 50% mastery XP bonus, which now strictly applies to farming. This update arrives with a slew of fixes addressing crashes in the mines, ensuring compatibility with mods, and rectifying NPC issues triggered by mods.
