Update 1.6

What 1.6 added

ConcernedApe's 1.6 changelog adds three festivals and a summer weather event. The Desert Festival is three days in spring after the bus is repaired. Trout Derby and SquidFest are the two fishing events. The summer event is green rain.

Mastery is a new cave with perks and items, written up on Mastery Cave. Meadowlands Farm is a new map with blue grass that animals like, and it starts with a coop and two chickens. See Meadowlands Farm.

Other 1.6 changes that show up in play

PC multiplayer allows up to 8 players. Villagers have winter outfits. The mushroom cave comes with a Dehydrator. Grass survives the winter and goes dormant instead of vanishing. Pets that love you can bring gifts, and more pets can be added after the first pet is at max hearts.

Later 1.6 patches changed a few of these systems. In 1.6.4, every skill's extra experience counted toward mastery at 50%. In 1.6.6 that 50% rate was limited to farming again, which is how the mastery cave describes it now. Also in 1.6.4, gifts to villagers were turned off during year-1 green rain. In 1.6.9, blue grass spreads at the same rate as ordinary grass, and a bug that removed chickens on a brand-new Meadowlands farm was fixed.
