Which Exploits Can You Still Use in Stardew Valley 1.6? 

I LOVE how ConcernedApe didn't patch out going out of bounds to reach the mountain top cutscene and instead just made a completely new cutscene that makes Mister Qi much more ominous if you did do the exploit.

We went from CA saying: I wish I hadn't made the grandpa scene so critical To: Mr.Qi literally kills you

Exploiting my interest in the game so I spend a hundred more hours playing Stardew is one of em.

the mr qi scene is so funny i audibly gasped. the way he LUNGES at you 😭

Love that Mr Qi just straight up kills you for cheating 😂

Fun fact: Naming yourself %noun will no longer replace your name with a random noun. You'll just be %noun. Except for when you win in a festive minigame, then it will work for some reason.

As a modder myself, the IDs for items have been separated by category now. So Prismatic Shards is 74. In 1.6, it's now (O)74. The O stands for object. If there's was a furniture with the same ID before, it'll now be (F)74. Makes it so much easier to target specific items with the same IDs. So all those overlapping items exploits are patched because of this change!

The funny thing about the item id glitch is that there is something new about it (i think idk i didnt play one pc before 1.6). If you change your name at the Wizard Tower at text box show up saying "ConcernedApe: Thats an unusual name, how fishy." and if you change your name again, it says,"Call all cars, call all cars, we have a *insert item name* theif".

Love it that CA (and when other devs) kind of lean into and embrace some of the glitches and exploits. Helps keep the charm of earlier patches and just what it made it fun in the past.

Fun fact! If you change your name to an item ID at the wizard tower you get a random message making fun of your cheating, and not only that, but the item ID name glitch had to be patched for the nintendo switch version, because of Nintendo's regulations for bugged games. CA knows exactly how to patch the name glitch out of stardew and specifically chose not to, which I really appreciate

Mr. Qi killing you for getting to the summit early is the sweet spot between giving the player a slap on the wrist while still rewarding them for being clever. I love it.

The multiplayer duping exploits do seem like they'd be very difficult to fix, given they're basically just caused by server lag.

The new achievement for perfection triggers upon reaching the summit, so it makes sense to prevent that from being exploited.

With how involved CA is with the glitches and their fixes/turned into easter eggs... it kinda gives the exploits that survive a sense of endorsement - That he is so amused/impressed that he lets us keep it.

I just love how Mr. Qi turns into a running blue rectangle when he kills you. He became so angry he changed into his true form.

It's really nice that ConcernedApe left a lot of the common speedrunning exploits in the game, in one way or another. Awesome to see a dev be so passionate about the community

I like how such a wholesome game like Stardew Valley has Mr. Qi straight up mafia-style murder the player if they cheat, lmao.

Just so people know - for the Golden Walnut exploit, if you do the Joja option it does not work. Since you bought them, it knows you have them all so you can't use the command to get it refreshed.

Another exploit that i think was patched- you can't put your horse behind the ice cream stand to but ice cream anymore😢

In multiplayer, the action duping can apply to the Statue of Perfection, so you can still can technically get as many as you want.

RIP yellow couch and perfection statue exploits, you will be missed. Ty Salmence for teaching me those tricks in a previous video before 1.6 patched them out!

That's now 2 out-of-bounds events related to Mr Qi. The man knows far more than he lets on. Also I very much doubt the Item ID thing will ever be patched. CA seems to respect it a lot, since he only ever patched it in the console versions because he was forced to.

what a rollercoaster of a video. I was so excited to see I can still get infinite nuts, and then came crashing down to find that I can no longer make fences out of Grandpa's statues.

The only one I ever really used was the /recountnuts, because I am not great at most of the challenges especially Qi's bean one. So I'm glad its still in the game.

The couch and the wallpaper still have the same IDs as wool and prismatic shards, EXCEPT all item IDs are qualified by type now. Wool is (O)440 and the Yellow Couch is (F)440 (O = Object, F = Furniture), Prismatic Shard is (O)74 and the Wallpaper is (WP)74 (wp = wallpaper). I'm still working on figuring out how the ID naming works. (I'm not looking up exactly which flooring tile and wallpaper though for any of these, if I list it just assume it exists somewhere) Table Piece R is (BC)23 (Big Craftable), same ID as the Galaxy Dagger (W/Weapon), A flooring tile (F/Flooring), the Gnome's Cap (H/Hat), and a Wallpaper Dwarf Scroll III is (O)98, same ID as Empty Capsule (BC), and a Wallpaper Dragontooth Cutlass is (W)57, same ID as a flooring, one of the Party Hat variants (H), and a Wallpaper My guess is there's some sort of priority, if an item with that ID exists go through the lists in some order and return on the first one, from what we've seen it would appear to be: Object, Big Craftable, Weapon, then likely hat, then flooring and wallpaper are a tossup. This is important info for Mod Authors because now when specifying recipes (or things like upgrades added to Robin's Shop) you also have to specify the item category as well.

My favorite old exploit was the journal glitch where you could click on the journal button as you’re passing out from staying up past 2am, and when you click off of the journal you’d be awake for the next ten in game minutes. I would use it to spend literal hours in skull cavern, clicking the journal every ten seconds or so. They patched it out a long time ago though

4:32 WOAH OKAY MR QI- but like I rlly love how ominous this scene is, it kinda feels like some of other games anti-piracy screens (or at least the fanmade ones I’ve seen)

I think CA watches videos of exploits as a way to find glitches and such… and I think he tries to balance between getting rid of things that break the game, and still allowing the speed running community and the other groups within the community to still have their fun and test the games limits. I love it! Hes embracing it all.

I had realized after going on a nostalgia trip I didn't know your channel from SDV but rather a Kaizo Mario 64 lets play you did like a decade ago. Was crazy too realize one of my favorite SDV content creators was also someone who I watched a decade ago

So the way you're moving your hands the fact you get no milk, and it raises friendship. Sus

ah, my favorite exploitable activity T U R B O M I L K I N G

He actually patched out the name one in a previous update, but so many people were sad about that t, that he put it back. I don't think it's going anywhere ❤

4:29 Mr Qi jumpscare 😱

Removing the infinite statues of perfection exploit made me worried for a bit whether I would get enough iridium for my needs, but I've come to realize a few things. 1. The heavy furnace's chance to occasionally produce an extra bar, and always for less coal, offsets this reasonably well 2. It's a little bloated on my farm for all the variety anyway without a whole shack full of crystalariums anyway. (3 shacks of kegs, 1 of preserves jars, and now one of mayo machines and cheese presses is another story) 3. duplicating jades and getting stairs by the gross plus some good luck makes it easy enough to go deep in the skull cavern 4. The new statues buffs are also great for offsets.

I hope he keeps the item ID one in forever. Its not something you could 'accidentally' do.

If you want to do the infinite nuts exploit, make sure you don't use the joja parrot. Because I used it on my new save file and when I type the command it does nothing.

Thank you!! I have been avoiding spoilers but I noticed clay farming didn't work anymore and was specifically super curious about the other known exploits, so I really appreciate you doing a super focused video on this.

i've been waiting for a video like this before i jump into the game again with 1.6. thank you!

We're gonna have to check these all over again for patch 1.6.4 XD

Thank you for posting these, it’s been keeping me entertained while I’m laying in my hospital bed. ❤

Amazing video. Love your content. Keep up the good work!

I love how during the testing of the geode crusher he had coal in his inventory. That got changed is 1.6 and it no longer needs coal but as someone we started play just before 1.5 I also keep making that error and I'm glad it's not just me lol

i was just trying to look this up yesterday to know what i should do before the update reaches console and couldn’t find anything, so thank you for this!

This is what we all needed. Thank you!!!

CRUSHED about the statue of perfection one

2:04 I love how you forgot geode crushers now don't use coal. Great vid btw

i think the item duplication from 2 players is really just a lag between the 2 issue. if you do something at the exact same time, it will not sync up perfectly. i think such an exploit is hard to fix

got back home after a short walk,was watching some older exploits today but is nice that in the same day i can see which ones do still work.

Omg thank you for showing me how to do emotes on my switch. That’s crazy.

Wow, I didn't know about most of these. Thanks for teaching me new things about the game

this is the exact video i was wishing someone would make 🙏🙏

Thanks for checking for us ^^♡

I feel like the majority of the bugs that weren't patched stayed because you had to go out of your way to encounter them and that the new summit cutscene is ment to represent all the exploits, not just out-of-bounds

I just watched the 1st video this morning, this is perfect timing

I love Speedrunning and Exploit communities because we wouldn't have the term Turbo-Milking without them

That Robin scam trick makes me want to play local co-op with 3 controllers and get 3 free buildings all at once.

I'm glad they left the name thing in. It can be a lot of fun for a casual play through and I enjoyed coming up with a head cannon for why I'd get a bunch of crazy items every time someone says my name.

Mr Qi: Oh, you wanna /recountnuts?? Recount deez nuts * kills you instantly *

Just started my first play through on the Riverland farm and found that, when I added cabins to my map, each of them came with a fish smoker, I removed the cabins after taking the smokers out and was left with the extra ones. An fish smoker for 100g seems like a pretty good deal to me

I’m really going to miss the Statue of Perfection glitch. I always spent too much time getting multiple Statues so I could get so much iridium ore. Bummer.

It was very convenient for me that scything out of bounds wasn't patched, because my modded save had all its mods updated except the upgraded greenhouse. This resulted in a very glitched greenhouse, with crops and fruit trees outside the useable area I was able to get them back by scything out

I just love the winter Emily praying to yoba thumbnail so much

I was just looking for a video like this, I feel like this video was made for me 😂

great work

'No more infitnite statues of perfection' Me who hates going to the skull cavern: noooooooooooooooo!

I'm so sad about the statue one. I relied on that for awhile.

Mr. Qi acting all innocent as if he didn't just polute the entire ecosystem by filling it up with lootboxes, then making us spend money for it at Clint's. man needs to get his priorities straight

The Chair exploit is the only one that matters damnit!

thank you you're awesome for making a foundation for exploit ppl to jump off of

I at least knew the chair and Item ID exploits, as I tested those in my own 1.6 playthrough, but I forgot all about the walnut recounting exploit. I'll have to remember that one

I'm quite happy that the multiple statues of perfection exploit got removed. It is too strong tbh, but ofc some people may think that at that point in the game, it is kind of pointless to even have it as you clearly already have access to whatever it provides. But to me, that statue was helpful. And I'm glad I have an OG save file that have multiple statue of perfection placed on the farm before it got patched out. Gonna cherish that file for sure.

There are 2 things I want to check out. I cut a tree down on my farm on a new play through but it fell out of reach. When I slept the items remained on the ground for the next day all during that session (Day 1 of 1.6) so I'm wondering if you drop Qi Fruits / seeds will the game miss them when you complete the quest. Assuming personal dropped items don't despawn during a session. Another thing I am curious about is the statue of perfection, I'm wondering if you drop it due to death if that inventory is counted towards Grandpa's Shrine check. If not just faint with it on you get a new one then call up Marlon to get back your original if you can. Not sure how it would work as it has no value. ETA: Tested personally dropped items. Items dropped on the farm will stay to next day, does not work with Qi beans, Have not tried Qi Fruit but same to assume does not work as well.

Damn i was really excited to use the statue one 😭

thanks i will use recount nuts a lot

Double upgrading buildings and buying buildings still works in multiplayer

At first I thought the berry exploit still worked but it's just that the rng had chosen to bless me.

Yo how is it that I am subscribed to you and yet you never show up in my feed? Not even in my recommendeds when I watch other sdv videos 😂. Anyway, always a nice treat when I check your channel and find a few new videos I haven't seen.

Item ID naming was actually improved. I had one where I put the same ID in three times and before the update I only got one item. Now I get all three.

I know my experience is anecdotal, but the berry bush reset definitely worked wonders for me. I did it every day in spring 1 with marked success. It's possible this was changed in one of the follow up updates though.

I wish he'd maintain the stairs into mayor's shorts thing... 😢

I find some of this very interesting, especially the ones with item IDs. I've played this game start to finish so many times that when 1.6 came out I started a new farm but then wanted to use a save editor to speed up progression and get back a lot of those late game items, a new game+ in a way. Oddly enough, even though I can't find any 1.6 editors at the moment, a 1.5 editor still worked really well. Obviously it doesn't have any of the new items or the ability to edit new features (like the shared mastery exp after you get your skills to level 10) , but that's fine since editing new things into the game wasn't really the point. The reason I found the item ID glitches to be curious is that a few items did glitch out when I added them to the new game, namely my old Infinity Sword, Infinity Hammer, and Golden Scythe. They all still function, but the images are gone, so in the inventory they're just red circles, and in the over world if I swing that item I just swing a red circle. I assumed that the item IDs had been altered to fix some old glitch or exploit, and maybe for those items it has? I also thought the ID name glitch had been patched out long ago, but maybe that was exclusive to consoles editions.

The player name with the ids also works with animals still so im happy about that, as its a personal fav of mine, and i didnt even kniw the free building existed but thats cool.

As for the item on table coop duplication, you can have one hold the interact button down then you come and hold the button down a second later and then just hold it down till the game puts you to sleep. You don't need to time it. Unlike with knocking down items like the lightning rod or keg. Those have to be hit at roughly the same enough time to dupe them.

Hey Sal, love your content, but can we expect a Galaxy 2 LP in the future? hehe keep up the good work.

thank u 🖤

Can you get infinite statues of perfect if you have a 2nd player take the item, then log off?

Salmence can you do a video on skill interactions in multiplayer?

I'm actually glad to see the item id in your name exploit not patched because its SUCH a famous glitch in the game

I used recountnuts in my newest farm, and then I used the joja parrot to finish getting the last few golden walnuts I was missing, and after the overnight cutscene /recountnuts no longer worked.

Salmence, do you know if the ancient fruit seed exploit is still in the game?

I just want to know the full list of things that legacy randomization affects, to determine if I wanna play with it or not. All we know from the patch notes are "clay farming, mushroom level prediction, crab pot fish offset, etc", and I can't see anybody breaking it down yet.

1:45 geode crushers don’t need coal anymore so that coal you got is useless

Anyone else notice the oinking sounds while Qi is chiding you?

I am on PC But couldnt get the /recountnuts to work sadly. Thanks for all the work you put into this. I love Concerned Apes sense of humor in saying you cheated.

One thing i really wonder is if the wheel at the sdv fair was rebalanced with the new randomization, but it could also just be me getting unlucky and i havent run an actual test

I play on switch so I done get to do most of the modding type stuff. I had no idea that you could cheat Grandpa’s Shrine to get more statues! It just so happened that I was in the cut scene for the evaluation as I was watching this video. I was quick to try it out and it was thrilling.

hi saly, about the yellow couch to loom machine i still expolit it, when i insert the couch to the hopper its still make wool for me and the INTERESTING part is, the couch doesnt decrease its still in the hopper

Whoa, I didn't know about all these exploits. I'm surprised some items share (or shared?) an item ID. Not much of an ID if it's not unique

I feel like more salmonberries now spawn to make up for the fixed exploit but that's just me

Ouch, I loved getting a few statues for free from the shrine! I’m not a huge exploiter but that one will be missed
