New Stardew Valley bug can apparently make you rich with an army of 999 lobsters, players insist "it's a feature" as creator Eric Barone says he'll look into it

Stardew Valley's latest update has accidentally added an incredibly useful bug that can net you almost a thousand lobsters from a single crab pot for a massive profit, but it probably won't be around for long as developer Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone says he's going to "look into it."

Version 1.6.9 of the hit indie farm sim rolled out earlier this week, finally bringing the enormous content update that arrived on PC earlier in the year onto consoles and mobile, and giving all versions a tune-up simultaneously. A few small issues in the game have surfaced since, from a performance-impacting bug that can be alleviated by removing hats from your pets, to a glitch that's seeing chickens vanish into thin air under certain circumstances (which ConcernedApe says is the work of a coyote on the farm). This latest bug is far less of a problem, though, as it might let farmers hit the lobster jackpot.
