Alpaca Rancher - Patch 3

[p]Hello Ranchers!
[/p][p]Patch 3 is here with a few bug fixes, gamepad improvements and additions.[/p][p][/p][h2]Fixes[/h2]
  • [p]Fixed an issue with the delivery box not removing money correctly. Money is now correctly calculated and removed from the players inventory. (No more free items!)[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a visual issue with the delivery box UI. Item Stats and Effects now show correctly. Subscription Membership express percentage now shows correctly.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue with control binds not saving. These now save correctly and no longer wipe themselves.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Additions[/h2]
  • [p]Added the ability to toggle alpaca pen upgrades. You can now turn on and off the Automatic Shearer, Brusher and Dung Cleaner.[/p]
  • [p]Added Input Echo's for gamepad input. This allows the d-pad to be held down and continuously fire an input event. This will make scrolling in UI's with lots of items much easier. [/p]
  • [p]Add some UI prompts in the main menu screen for better UX.[/p]
[p][/p][h2]Changes[/h2]

Hot Fix 3 (5/15/25)

Hello Ranchers!

This hot fix is for the breeding pen. There were a few issues with how effects were being applied making it extremely difficult to get the breeder related achievements.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed breeder effect math. Spawn chance, multiple baby spawn chance and spawn as adult chance are now all correctly calculated.

  • Fixed breeder bug allowing non special combinations to spawn from a single parent. The parents are now correctly checked to make sure both of them are present to spawn a special combination baby.



[h2]Balance[/h2]
  • Balanced the multiple baby spawn chance food effect. Increased this effect greatly as it was near impossible to trigger.

  • Balanced the regular baby spawn chance. It will now take a reasonable amount of days to spawn a baby alpaca and every day that it does not will increase the chance by a small amount. (this was the originally intended gameplay mechanic)

Hot Fix 2 (5/14/25)

Hello again!

We had a report of a crash and wanted to get it patched ASAP!

Sorry for so many downloads in one day, we understand that this can be an issue for some users on lower internet usage plans and we will endeavor to make patch days less messy in the future.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed Steam Achievement 'Busted' as it was indeed busted... It will now correctly track and trigger.

  • Fixed a crash related to the pen collection bin. You should be able to have either or both automation upgrades now.
