A day earlier than Stardew Valley’s 1.6 replace launch date, developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone posted a line from the replace’s patch notes on X (previously Twitter): “Now you can drink mayonnaise.” The Stardew Valley group was shook. It’s simply… why? As soon as the replace launched on March 19, the reply turned clear: It’s truly a reasonably good early recreation merchandise due to Stardew Valley’s new Meadowlands Farm, which helps you to begin your farm with two chickens.
These two chickens imply two eggs per day. And two eggs per day means a lot of mayo a lot earlier within the recreation than on different farms. You’ll be able to promote it for a pleasant revenue, but it surely has an unexpected profit: Consuming mayo provides you 50 vitality factors and 22 well being factors, and people stats solely go up with the mayo’s high quality. This makes it a reasonably hefty snack to take with you into the mines.
Mining is a vital a part of Stardew Valley’s development; it’s the place you’ll discover lots of the sources you must improve your instruments and construct stuff to your farm. Nonetheless, in Stardew Valley, you get drained while you’re performing duties like hitting rocks, so consumable objects like mayo are important to staying within the mines longer. (There are additionally enemies within the mines, so that you danger draining your well being, too.) Having a Mayonnaise Machine early on, paired with the Meadowlands Farm chickens, means you’re capable of create lots of vitality and well being with little or no funding.
In fact, getting mayonnaise requires a Mayonnaise Machine, which does take some work — you must be at farming degree two, have a copper bar, an Earth Crystal, and a few wooden and stone. In case you work shortly — like, in a short time — you will get a Mayonnaise Machine in below 20 minutes. (Thanks, mayo speedrunners.) It’s value spending the time early on throughout a Meadowlands Farm run working in direction of this so that you’ll be capable to spend longer durations of time within the mines.
If you get bored of consuming mayonnaise within the mines, you’ll be able to develop into an enemy of the general public by consuming mayo in entrance of Stardew Valley residents, who hate the observe. (As they need to.)
