Stardew Valley's final checklist gets easier to follow

Stardew Valley's final stretch toward perfection can become a scavenger hunt through menus, notes and browser tabs. Perfection Handbook brings the remaining work into a searchable in-game reference, showing unfinished goals, fishing conditions and missing recipe ingredients, with reminders you can pin while farming.

The first stable release also tracks achievements and recognizes items and characters introduced by content mods. It can't universally account for mods that rewrite perfection's actual requirements, however, so some displayed targets may still reflect the base game. For completionists, that's a useful caveat attached to a much friendlier way of finding the next thing to do.
