Stardew Valley creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has confirmed an odd farming quirk that’s been part of the game for the past eight years.
Later this month, Barone is due to release a “major” update for Stardew Valley and has been teasing what it will entail on social media by posting a random line from the yet-to-be-released patch notes.
The first revealed that Barone has “fixed bug where it was faster to harvest left-to-right than right-to-left”. The farming bug has apparently been a part of Stardew Valley since it launched in 2016. “The left facing harvest animation was 100ms longer than it should’ve been,” he confirmed.
“To clarify, the update will make them both equally fast, not equally slow (right-to-left will become as fast as left-to-right),” he added.
“I knew it. People said I was crazy,” replied one fan, with another : “Rest in Peace my favourite silly bug <3. Still going to farm left to right though, it just feels ~right~.”
