Wild Indigo Ranch News

Howdy y'all!

First of all a big thank you for your patience, helping us out by sharing your bug reports and your feedback!
We've been able to put together a hotfix for today and fixed some of the issues that have been reported over the weekend, including the multiplayer loading screen freeze.

Here is the full list of what has been fixed in version 0.7.47p:

• Fixed issue where clients get stuck in the loading screen when trying to join a game that has been running for a long period of time - we’ve also added a percentage display when joining multiplayer games, making it easier to spot if you’re getting stuck. Thank you to the community on our Discord for pointing this one out and helping us narrow down the specific issue!
  
• Fixed issue where a client suddenly getting disconnected would cause them to lose their most recent progress
  
• Fixed issue where most of the names of locations on the map are positioned in the same place - in the rush to help you navigate the prairie better, we introduced this, actually making it harder.. whoops!
  
• Accessing the ledger while in renovation mode no longer disables all UI after closing the ledger.
  
• Camera transitions to and from the ledger are now instant
  
• Fixed issue where volume sliders would not save their values properly
  
• Fixed issue where the close sound would not play on the welcome popup.
  
• Tweaked the rewards for Howard's deed
  
• Adjusted how many resources you got from the broken smelter and anvil
  
• Made sure Dawsons's chest contains the guns worktable
  
• Moved worktables a bit in Lars's workshop so you can actually pass by them
  
• Re-sorted some construction elements for your building pleasure!
  
• Changed the font of the multiplayer code, making it easier to distinguish certain letters and numbers
  
• Lars the carpenter will no longer clone himself when saved. An impressive feat to be sure, but we didn’t ask for it..
  
• A huge rock had disappeared. We added it back.
  

And here's a list of known issues that we will continue to work on fixing:

• In some cases, the ledger desk is not building
  
• Destroying/selling ledger leads to not being able to build again
  
• Item duplication
  
• "Chicken Run" quest reverts when a chicken dies/runs away
  
• Stuck in building mode
  
• Gun does not appear in gun workstation
  
• "A Stew is Brewin" quest does not complete
  
• Smelter & tool worktable cannot be placed
  
• Gate fence, wooden roof, wooden wall missing
  
• Shelf not sharing recipes
  
• Multiple issues with falling out of the map and not being able to retrieve the body
  

Howdy, y'all!

Thanks a lot for all the feedback you've been sharing with us since we Launched in Early Access! You are amazing!
Here's is a first round of quick fixes we managed to do.

• Prevent cacti, rocks and bushes from spawning.. like.. a million items when being destroyed. (If this has already happened in your game, you probably have to make an attempt to pick it all up if you don’t wish to make a new game.
  
• Reduced burning time from 30 seconds to 8 seconds
  
• Reduced the chance to spread burning from 100% to 40%
  
• Show the names of discovered locations on the world map (You will have to rediscover them)
  
• Adjusted freezing in multiplayer games in order to stop the flickering "freezing" icon
  
• Removed the bug where you could get to an empty page 3 on the ledger
  
• Removed stun arrow from loot crate as they currently do not work on NPCs
  
• Prevent clients in a multiplayer game from getting put on the stagecoach near the lawyer’s office once another player had already gone to the prairie.
  
• Player volume on death adjusted as it was very high. We do not want our players do die in real life.
