The key changes
Version 1.6.9Released

The official 1.6.9 changelog adds legendary fish to fish ponds, a way to recover certain irreplaceable lost items, and sleeping in constructed buildings that permit furniture. These describe 1.6.9 changes, not a claim that 1.6.9 is today’s latest build.[1]

Fish ponds and lost items

Legendary fish are limited to one per pond and can produce legendary roe. The lost-item service is described as a new friend in the Secret Woods and charges a price; not every ordinary discarded item is covered by that statement.[1]

Quality-of-life changes

  • Fish ponds display the number of output items ready to collect.[1]
  • Clint refills a watering can when upgrading it.[1]
  • The save process was adjusted to reduce corruption risk.[1]
