Stardew Valley Dev Tracker

Hi everyone,

Stardew Valley version 1.3, which includes multiplayer, is now available for public beta!


How do I opt into the beta?
To enable the beta , right click the game in your library and select properties. On the window that pops up there will be a ‘betas’ tab. In the text box, type the password for the branch: jumpingjunimos. Then click the ‘Check Code’ button.

If you’ve done that correctly, you will now be able to select the ‘beta’ option from the drop down box.

Once you’ve done that, Steam will start downloading the update.

What precautions should I take? The v1.3 update is still a beta at this point, which means there will be bugs! At the very least, it’s recommended that you:

Backup your save files before playing the update.

Your save files are located in
%APPDATA%\StardewValley\Saves on Windows,
or
~/.config/StardewValley/Saves on Mac and Linux.

With version 1.06, the first steps are taken to improving marriage in Stardew Valley! Each spouse now has a unique dialogue sheet, and leaves the house at least once a week to visit town or take a walk. In short, they retain a lot more of their unique "personality" after marriage.

Changelog:

• Added unique dialogues for all spouses.
  
• Spouses now leave the house on mondays.
  
• Value of most animal products increased.
  
• Holly is now poisonous.
  
• Missing events problem shouldn't happen anymore.
  
• Minor bug/grammar/graphics fixes.

Note: animal product prices and edibility of Holly will only take effect on items generated after the update. items that already existed before updating will still have the old prices/edilbility.

There will be more marriage improvements to come. Hope you're having a nice weekend.
