Possible Cut Content From Stardew Valley’s 1.6 Update

Fans ofStardew Valleywill notice a few points of interest in these newly discovered files. Included in the string of files are references to a freezer that causes player’s items to lose quality overnight, bags of dried flowers, farm debts, and a whole host of dairy and egg-related crafts. A deluxe crab pot is referenced in the string of text, which is described as a way to help players catch more than a regular pot. This “deluxe” descriptor carries over to other items, like a deluxe mayonnaise machine, deluxe loom, and even a deluxe cheese press. Other portions of the text reference a “SpeedrunTimer.” These items were seemingly set to join the game’s long list of items, likeStardew Valley’s Galaxy and Infinity weapons, until being cut.
