Hey ranchers!

We've just launched a new Ranch Sim update, which includes a number of bug fixes and optimisations, but also introduces a bunch of gameplay improvements suggested by you, the community!

These include the ability to adjust the length of day and night individually, the option to sell cars in the garage for half their original value, and added storage for planks and logs.

Plus, construction just got more expansive! New gates, wall decorations, shelving and more have been added.

You are key to the Early Access development of Ranch Sim, so please do keep the feedback coming!

Hello Ranchers,

The March update is now available to download!



The much requested hunting rifle is here and will become available upon the completion of a new quest from a new NPC: the hunter.
This rifle does more damage than the standard revolver given to you by your late grandfather.



We have also added 10 side quests, from providing your elderly neighbour with ingredients for her breakfast, to assisting the hunter clear out wild predators, to searching far and wide for some ancient treasures! These will provide players with an extra bit of income.

New
- 10 side quests
- 3 NPCs: a hunter (found inside their cabin) and 2 neighbouring ranchers
- Hunting rifle (available as a quest reward from the hunter)






End of May
Bug fixes and optimisation
Community suggested gameplay improvements

While adding new content is a priority for us, we also know that the quality of existing content is just as important! Which is why we'll be focusing on bug fixes and optimisation in May.

We'll also be implementing a handful of community-requested gameplay improvements, such as the ability to sell vehicles. We aim to balance weather too, with less rainy days and more sunny days, and start giving you back a percent of the materials when you demolish things.



End of July
Goats
Bees
Bank and loans
Fuel and animal transport trailers

You've asked for more animals, so we're excited to introduce goats in the July update! You'll be able to raise this livestock and produce goat's milk, expanding your range of dairy products to sell.

Bees will also be introduced, along with the ability to produce and sell honey!

Along with these diversified produce options, we will also be adding a bank in-game, with the ability to take out loans.

Last but not least we'll be adding handy transport trailers for fuel and animals!



End of September
Crop/wheat production and harvesting
Tractor
Gardening
Greenhouse

You asked for it, and we've listened. In the September update we'll be adding crop/wheat production and harvesting, the single most requested feature! While we're not ready to share much more on this just yet we can confirm that we'll be adding a tractor and a greenhouse to do gardening in too!

Watch out for more news in the coming months!

Hello all,

We hope you're continuing to enjoy Ranch Simulator! Today we're announcing that the next update will launch on 24 March.

This update will introduce quests from hunters and neighbouring ranches, and will also add the hunting rifle. These quests will offer a new way to make money for your ranch, and the hunting rifle will add some variety to your hunting trips.



Soon after this update launches on 24 March, we will reveal the next roadmap. We're always listening to your suggestions, so please do let us know what you'd like to see improved upon or added to Ranch Sim in the comments below!
