For the rest, it became increasingly clear that I'd need to venture into the volcano at the center of the island. I stumbled upon just one early on in looking around the island after I arrived. There are parrots all over the island who demand that I bring them golden walnuts in order to unlock new areas and features of the island. When you first arrive on the island, little is explained-which I mean in the best possible "allows you to figure it out" manner. The new jungle island feels like stepping out of Stardew Valley and into a Zelda-inspired spinoff game. The star of the show though, without a doubt, is that "significant new piece of end-game content" that Barone teased over the summer with a screenshot of a mysterious new door in Willy's fish shop.Īlright, you've collected the batteries, iridium bars, and hardwood, right? You've taken them to Willy's shop and helped him fix up that old ship waiting in the back of his shop and taken a ride with him across the ocean to a brand new explorable area for Stardew Valley? Good, I can finally say it. Like past updates, Stardew Valley 1.5 is full of little features that feel like they'd always been there, sending me running to search through the patch notes to see if something is actually new.


Nearly everything on the farm can be moved at will now, meaning that indecisive farmers like me can finally feel free to experiment with their canvas of a homestead. In the newest update, she can even move the greenhouse (after it's been repaired) and the shipping container where I sell my goods.
