Alpaca Rancher News

[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]Fixed the Load Game screen while using gamepad. This screen now wraps around when selecting items and focus for controls is now more user friendly.[/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]

• [p]Created a new default control bind configuration. This new configuration better utilizes the gamepad buttons and triggers for a better UX out of the box. (To use this configuration select Reset To Default in the controls menu.)[/p]
• [p]In-game book UI no longer lets you use hotkeys while it is open. This will allow rebinding hotkeys to the d-pad.[/p]

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)

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed Steam Achievement 'Busted' as it was indeed busted... It will now correctly track and trigger.

Hello Ranchers!

Patch 2 is here with even more squished bugs!

We have had a few very detailed reports over the last week and have aimed to address all of them!

We would also like to thank everyone that are reporting bugs and giving feedback and suggestions. The more we know about the more we can fix / improve!


[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed an issue with the logbook not updating when entering some of the 'trial' locations. The collisions have been updated. (If you still need these logbook entries then just head back to each trial gate and walk on through!)
  
  
• Fixed the player house exit setting a incorrect area name causing the map screen to display the wrong image.
  
  
• Fixed a 'soft lock' issue during the tutorial. Now if you upgrade the alpaca trough before feeding the alpacas the quest will update correctly.
  
  
• Fixed a 'soft lock' issue during the tutorial. Interacting with alpacas can now only be done when the player is inside of the pen.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where alpacas could get very far away from the player causing the world to 'unload' and sticking players in an interaction. Alpacas now snap/spawn back near the player if they get too far away.
  
  
• Fixed recipe's and items being missing from shop inventories. All crafting recipes can now be found in their respective shops. e.g.(cooking recipes at George Grainlines Shop). All items that should be purchasable via the delivery box can now be.
  
  
• Fixed a typo in the 'Cooking Station' tutorial popup.
  
  
• Fixed crafting station 'collect' amount text showing 0. It now updates to the correct amount when re-opening the crafting UI.
  
  
• Fixed an issue with the 'Figurine it out!' achievement not popping. It now tracks and pops correctly. (If you already completed this achievement but never got it, loading your save file will pop the achievement.)
  
  
• Fixed an issue with Steam Stats not tracking correctly. Steam stats now update correctly in the achievements section of steam.
  
  
• Fixed an issue with 'loot cave' maps not syncing up in the map screen. They now position all markers correctly.
  
  
• Fixed an issue with the 'stinky' effect from manure not going away when upgrading the pen. It now resets that effect and cleans up correctly.
  
  
• Fixed an issue on PC where the cursor would disappear when claiming logbook rewards. The cursor no longer turns off when claiming the rewards via the logbook screen.
  
  
• Fixed an issue with key binds in the in-game book settings menu. Control binds now correctly save when rebinding in the book menu.
  
  
• Fixed pen collection box. You can now collect items even if there is only manure in the box.
  

[h2]Additions[/h2]

• Added Steam Rich Presence support.
