Overview

• Eric Barone, creator of Stardew Valley, teased a change in the 1.6 update that allows cutting down a fruit tree to yield a sapling with the same quality as its fruit.
• The change is intended to facilitate the relocation of fruit trees without economic benefit, aiming to preserve the quality of fruit produced.
• Fans have enthusiastically received the news, calling it a 'game changer' for the fruit tree meta and a significant quality-of-life improvement.
• The update, set to launch on March 19, is much anticipated after more than three years since the last major update.
• Despite the change, saplings from mature trees will grow faster but will still need to go through the usual stages to produce high-quality fruit.
