Here’s why Stardew Valley’s 1.4.1 patch nearly RUINED Speedrunning.

Stardew Valley 1.6 is rapidly approaching, and as such, I wanted to focus on some Stardew Valley Tips to help you know all the Stardew Valley Trivia that you could ever know! Let me know if there's anything else you guys want me to talk about! Stardew Valley Speedruns are so interesting! This is not 100 Days of Stardew Valley or any Stardew Valley Mods, nor Stardew Valley Mobile 1.5!

Speedrunners will find a way around anything. Trust me.

CA probably nerfed them because they were overpowered, not specifically because of speedrunners, but speedrunners tend to like using overpowered mechanics so they got hit harder by the nerf

I'm seeing so much salt in these comments.

No, ConcernedApe doesn't hate the speedrunning community just because he fixed some exploits.

No, speedrunners aren't going to stop enjoying the game just because certain exploits were patched out. At worst they'll make a separate speedrun category for each patch (I believe this is what happened with TotK when 1.1.2 patched out the major dupe glitches).

And also, no, speedrunners are not playing the game wrong. Often most speedrunners have ran through the game casually and seen what it has to offer, and then they choose to speedrun for the fun and the extra challenge.

I wish the explosive ammo did more damage so you can use it for something else than quicker cherry bombs

The magic rock candy one is kinda stupid, but what exactly is a problem with the others? They were blatantly broken, and broke the progression so incredibly hard that it’s no wonder they got patched out. Believe it or not, when an item you can get during the first week is better than literally anything else in the entire game for two whole skills, it’s not just “funny, ” it invalidates those skills as a whole.


Sometimes people complain so much that they don’t make an effort to see what’s right in front of them.

Weren’t the first two just bug fixes, not nerfs?

[TheRPGNerd]

"concernedape hates speedrunners!" He actually kept some mechanics just bc speedrunners used them. Like chair skip. He just removed the ones that effect more players unintentionally and/or are overpowered.

"x change RUINED speedruns of this game"

No, it literally would just be another category of game version

[trinxjean]

You used to be able to see where a character was on the map. Rip.

[johnnycovenant]

Man speedrunners are just people who go around saying hey how can I ruin this game the most

[lks]

The magic rock candy one sucks. Once you achieve perfection and have an infinite Prismatic Shard generator every day, you can only trade 1 per week.

For when speedrunners can't find a way around something though people should realise that speedrunnimg isn't apart of the main game thus isn't really often considered on updates and changes as it isn't apart of the game, so no one really should be getting upset If something changes that breaks speed running

I think 1.5 is more like sewing a tare in a tank top by giving it sleeves

[jademonass]

honestly thought it was the journal fishing glitch

[JustWatching]

Pretty much unrelated to the video, but is that a dress your character is rocking? It looks nice.

[mangana]

To me, the new bomb prices killed me, why does inflation even affect my fames 😢😢😢😢

[zaineoakley]

Bring back cheep explosive ammo so i don’t have to spend all my iron on it (because 300g for 1 ammo is a scam)

[DakkaScrappa]

Speedrunners are the personification of JOSH they always find work arounds to get super powerful

Speedrunners: exploit the heck out of a game

The devs: patches the exploits
