Hey everyone,
Stardew Valley 1.5.5 just dropped on PC. It’s a small update, which doesn’t add new content, but has some important technical changes for modders, some quality of life changes, and some bug fixes:
[Architectural changes]

I also never actually hired any artists. I am very particular and protective of Stardew so I don't think I could ever just hand off an update to other people without being involved myself
