As part of the many teases about the 1.6 update for Stardew Valley, Eric “Concerned Ape” Barone introduced the Big Chest for people who need a bigger one. It is a new type of item that people can build and place in the game.
In Stardew Valley, the standard Chest is one of the earliest things people can build, and it be built with 50 pieces of wood. Once created and placed somewhere, it can hold 36. As such, someone who has been playing for a substantial amount of time might have multiple ones placed around their farm or in other areas.
The new screenshot Concerned Ape shared showed that the new, bigger Big Chest in Stardew Valley will hold “almost twice as much as a regular chest.” Double the space would mean 72 items. However, since the description says “almost,” we don’t know the exact amount of storage. Barone did confirm it will be useable with the workbench.
Here’s the latest announcement. In it, Barone also mentioned being in a state of “(self-imposed) extreme crunch” and accomplishing a “ton.”
We already knew this update would bring with it a new festival and more dialogue.
Stardew Valley is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PCs, mobile devices, and the PlayStation Vita, and the 1.6 update is in development.
