Stardew Valley 1.6 landed nearly a month ago, but the follow-up patches are continuing to deliver piles of new content and upgrades. 1.6.4 is now here, and developer Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone's promise of "some new mining-related stuff" might have undersold what we're getting here.
The patch includes "20 new 'alternate' mine layouts, which can start appearing after reaching the bottom of the mines," and "20 new volcano mines layouts, which can appear after you’ve unlocked the shortcut between the caldera and the volcano entrance." Both of those additions should go a long way toward making endgame mining less repetitive.
