August Update Teaser - Horses!



Hey ranchers!

We hope you've been having a great time playing Ranch Simulator since the Build Anywhere Update! As always, we are so grateful for all of your support, suggestions and bug reports.

There's not long to go now until we release the August update, which will introduce a much requested animal: horses!

We'll release the update by the end of the month, but for now, please enjoy this little look at the upcoming content!



Purchasing horses will work differently to purchasing other animals. Here, you'll pop to the auction house and have to outbid competitors to buy horses!





Horses have different stats: stamina, speed, handling, and health. The higher these stats, the more the horse is worth. These stats also affect the abilities of the horse, allowing it to run faster for a longer duration and even turn sharper.

The more you ride your horse, the more it gets trained.

You can also build a training pad where you can do a circular run to increase its experience, or perform successful jumps over the jump gates.



We'll be back by the end of the month with this update!

Note: This update will not reset any progress.

Thanks,
The Ranch Sim Team

BUILD ANYWHERE UPDATE NOW LIVE | Build Anywhere, Pig Breeding, Hardware Store



Hello all,

The public version of the Build Anywhere Update is now live! Thank you again to everyone who played early versions of this massive update and helped us to test and tweak the new features.



The main feature of this update is a brand new building system. Instead of pre-determined spots for building facilities, you can now build everything wherever you like on your ranch. This includes foundations, floor, walls, doors, stairs, roofs, coops, barn, fences, feeders and preserving bins for meat and cheese products. Oh, and you can now paint freebuild objects, coops and fences in whatever colors you choose! Head to the new hardware store to find a color machine.



We've also introduced a more optimised map, pig breeding, a hardware store and more! Read on for the full patch notes.



IMPORTANT: This update resets your progress!


As previously mentioned, this update wipes your saves. The major changes to the building system sadly means that old saves will no longer be compatible.

For those of you who HAVE NOT played the unstable early version(s) of this update: Your progress will reset when you install and play this update.

For those of you who HAVE played the unstable early version(s) of this update: As long as you have stayed on the unstable branch since switching over to it, you are now safe to switch back over to the public branch. You will not lose your progress again.

More information can be found here.

June Build Anywhere Update: Unstable Update v2 Now Live


Hello all,

I am pleased to announce that we have updated the unstable branch, fixing some issues found in the previous unstable build.

There may still be issues with this build, but it's a more polished version of the previous unstable version. So now's a great time to jump in if you want to help test this huge update before the public release on 15 July.

Just in case you haven't seen already, this update includes the ability to build facilities wherever you like on the ranch, pig breeding, a hardware store and much more. For full details please see the previous announcement.



Here's the timeline we're now looking at, subject to how unstable testing goes.

As soon as possible following 1 July:

We will update the unstable build with localisation. Until this point, the unstable version will unfortunately be in English and Russian only.

15 July:

Public update release!

Please note: We recommend that you hold on until the public release of the update if you are expecting a more polished experience.

If you wish to play the early unstable version of the update right now, please head to the official Discord and check out the #announcements channel for details.



Save Wipe Warning


Please keep in mind that this update will wipe your saves. Due to changes made to the in-game building mechanics, existing saves will no longer be compatible. Your progress will be reset when you play the update, whether it's unstable or the public version. You can read more here.

We recommend that if you choose to switch to the unstable branch that you do not revert to the public branch until the update release on 15 July. Switching back before that point will delete your save as you would be reverting to an old version of the game.

And an extra note for those of you who do choose to play the unstable version: there's also a possibility that if we find a severe bug in the unstable build, then we may need to wipe saves again after it's been fixed.
