On Reddit, a user known as Terrible-Value7116 brought awareness to a potentially useful place for putting torches added in Update 1.6. Specifically, they highlighted that torches can be placed on top of sprinklers and shared a picture of what it looked like.

Since sharing the tip on Reddit, many fans have thanked Terrible-Value7116 for pointing out the helpful torch placement option. With the post gaining over 3.5K upvotes, many said they had missed seeing this in the update patch notes and were looking forward to implementing it in their own Stardew Valley farm layouts. In addition, other users reminded fans that torches could be placed on fences as another way of lighting an area.
This often-forgotten feature from Update 1.6 highlights how much has changed for Stardew Valley in 2024. Beyond the massive March update, ConcernedApe has released various other patches during the year.
