Summary
- New Stardew Valley update allows for easy transferring of items between chests with Big Chests feature.
- Console and mobile players will have to wait for the 1.6 update, missing out on the convenience for now.
- Updates in Stardew Valley keep the game fresh and organized, with players always discovering new helpful features.
A Stardew Valley player has shared a helpful discovery that makes transferring loot from one chest to another way easier. The function is part of Stardew Valley's 1.6 update, which players are still eagerly exploring after its release.
Unfortunately, Stardew Valley players on console and mobile devices will be left out of this helpful hint, at least for a while. ConcernedApe has provided a 1.6 console and mobile update status for fans, but it seems that the release window for this version is still unknown. The game developer says he's working hard on it, so players can only wait and learn what's waiting for them when they do get access to the update.
Now, Stardew Valley player strangebutalsogood is highlighting a new feature that may have gone unnoticed by other players. Stardew Valley 1.6 added Big Chests to the game, allowing players to have more storage space wherever they need it. However, transferring items from one chest to another could be a major hassle, as players have limited inventory space and would need to completely empty out their carried items to transfer everything at once. However, that's no longer an issue, as this player has discovered that swapping from a standard chest to a Big Chest lets players automatically move the contents over.
Instead of collecting the items, breaking the original chest, setting down a new one, and transferring over the items one by one, players can simply put a Big Chest where a standard chest is currently sitting. This overwrites the standard chest, taking its place, and carries over the entirety of its inventory. This is a super easy way to transfer items over, and even saves players the trouble of having to reorganize the order once the transfer is completed.
Stardew Valley's Secrets
Stardew Valley has plenty of secrets, and the number increases whenever a major content update releases. While some of the secrets are more story-based and even spooky, like a certain Mr. Qi cutscene in Stardew Valley, others are simple but helpful tricks like these. The indie game's updates are very thoughtful and help to streamline the game's activities without taking away any of the fun.
Although this particular ability was mentioned in the Stardew Valley 1.6 update patch notes, with so many things included in it, it's no surprise that some players didn't know about this feature. Chances are more helpful hints will continue to emerge as more players get their hands on the latest version of the game.
