Stardew Valley unveils 2 new marriage candidates, so it’s officially time to start planning your wedding

Start planning your next big date, Stardew Valley fans. We now know who the two marriage candidates for the farming simulator will be in the 1.7 update, and hopefully it’s exactly who you wanted.

Developer ConceredApe unveiled Clint and Sandy as the new bachelor and bachelorette during the game’s 10-year anniversary video today. With the addition of these two marriage candidates, Stardew’s number of eligible romances has bumped up to 14.

To celebrate 10 years of Stardew, ConcernedApe showed off earlier builds of the game (which was originally called Sprout Valley) with commentary about the development process and scrapped features, including an underground goblin village. At the end of the video, the developer revealed the marriage candidates by opening an envelope with their names inside.

Those of you who want to get down with the new marriage candidates will need your farmer to be single, but in case you’re not and you don’t want to make a new save file, you’ll need to get your hands on a Wilted Bouquet. You can make the item by throwing a Bouquet into a furnace. Then give it to your current spouse, and you’ll become single and ready to mingle. Just don’t be surprised when your ex-to-be doesn’t like you very much after that. 

Though we don’t know too much about the new marriage candidates’ romance dialogues, you’ll likely need to reach level eight with them before their romance will begin, as is the case with the other 12 characters. You’ll also need a bouquet from Pierre’s, which can be bought for 200 gold. 

The 1.7 Update will include other content outside of the marriage candidates, though ConcernedApe remained rather tight-lipped about what else fans can expect.

One of the early contracts in Marathon requires you to scan the FTL Array at any USEC Radio Tower, and the task can be slightly tricky.

This is likely going to be your first contract where the game doesn’t tell you where you need to be. The task is actually rather simple once you know where you need to reach and be. This guide will simplify the process and allow you to get all the applicable rewards.

How to locate the FTL Array in Marathon

The first task is to receive and keep the contract active. As of writing, only a contract can be kept active at any given time. Once done, start a run. Ideally, I am finding it easier to complete contracts with teammates rather than going solo.

You begin on the Perimeter map since it’s part of the contract. Once the run begins, head to the Station location. While there can be more towers located in other parts of the map, the Station POI was the nearest one for me when I was about to complete this contract.

The Station is pretty easy to locate, but the same can’t be said about the FTL Array on the USEC Radio Tower. If you’re close to the tower, you’ll find the quest icon (yellow colored) appearing on your screen. The tower can be found about E 100 on the overhead compass. However, I have marked the exact location on the image below to make it easier for you. The location isn’t random, and you’ll always find the FTL Array at this location.

Once you’ve located the tower, use one of the attached ladders to climb up. Look for a blue-colored terminal, and it will have an interactable FTL Comms Chip on it. If you’re this close to the tower, you can simply follow the icon as well.

Interact with the FTL Array and complete the scan, and this will complete your contract. Once you end your run, you’ll be able to redeem all the applicable rewards as allotted by the contract.
