Stardew Valley 1.6.12 update brings several gameplay adjustments and bug fixes, enhancing the overall experience for players. Among the notable gameplay changes, foraging activities such as digging up dirt spots, panning, and chopping twigs now provide foraging experience, allowing players to progress more naturally. The update also increases the foraging experience gained from chopping trees and stumps, while Sandy’s shop now includes basic pants, offering a new purchase option for players.
Additionally, the update addresses various bugs, including issues with crab pot harvest quantities, secret gift hints on the Skills tab, and a rare crash when using the in-game telephone. Audio concerns introduced in the previous version have been resolved, along with other rare crashes related to multiplayer connections and character displays for Cyrillic text.
