There’s really no such thing as a “small update” when it comes toStardew Valley, as every little bit helps reinforce this game’s (arguably) best-in-class status. So while this week’s PC update 1.5.5 isn’t going to make huge waves with everyone in the community, it’s got some great quality-of-life stuff tucked in, especially forStardew Valleymodders.
While the modding changes are more behind-the-scenes right now with a “future-proof” shift from XNA to MonoGame and “various internal changes” to accommodateStardew Valleymod creators, who can now access “more than 4 GB of RAM,” there’s more to come.

Following 1.5.5, another PC update forStardew Valley, version 1.5.6, will partially be a collaboration withSMAPIcreator PathosChild; it’ll bring “some long-requested ‘holy grail’ changes which should make some aspects of modding much easier in the future.”
According toStardewdesigner ConcernedApe, players can even expect “some new content in 1.5.6, too, but it’s not going to be anything huge like 1.5.”
Clearly, the creator can’t stay away fromStardewValleyfor long — not even when he’s gotanother cool sim gamein development. His dedication is the gift that keeps on giving.
