Stardew Valley creator approves of "anyone making any mods" as long as it's clear they're "not canon"

Amid the ever-expanding sea of Stardew Valley mods, the indie game's developer reveals that he approves of fan creations - provided that they stay separate from "canonical" content.

Just as the Stardew Valley creator still thinks he could "keep working on the game forever," I could probably keep playing it forever. With dedicated solo dev Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone releasing regular patches like the recent 1.6 update, it feels like that's more possible than ever. The farming gem's community of creative modders keeps it thriving between updates, too, with thousands of mods. With so much additional fan-driven content, it's hard not to wonder what Barone makes of it all.
