v0.2.10 - Polishing, Balancing & Bug Fixes

[p]Hello, Ranch Farmers! 🧑🏻‍🌾[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your valuable input through both in-app feedback and the Steam Discussion forums, we’ve been able to implement several updates. We’re excited to bring you another update for the Demo version of Ranch Farm and Store Simulator. Let’s take a look at what’s new![/p][p][/p][h3]Balancing Updates[/h3]

[p]Furniture Now Unlocks at Level 4 [/p][p]To ensure a smoother gameplay curve, furniture is now available from Level 4 onwards. This helps players gradually customize their space as they progress.[/p]
[p]Orange Cat Can Chase Wild Animals Right After Purchase[/p][p]In this update, the Orange Cat Guardian has been enhanced. Unlike the Beagle Dog, it can immediately chase and scare off wild animals automatically after being purchased, providing immediate support in protecting your farm.[/p][p][/p]
[p]Inventory Storage Moved to Level 5 [/p][p]Inventory expansion is now available at Level 5 instead of earlier. This change spaces out progression and adds a sense of reward.[/p][p][/p]
[p]Fishing Distance Made Shorter [/p][p]You can now fish from a closer range, making fishing easier and more accessible. This small tweak improves convenience without reducing challenge.[/p][p][/p]
[p]Wool Pricing Increased[/p][p]Wool now sells for a higher price than apples, making it a more profitable resource. This helps balance product values across the farm economy.[/p][p][/p]

[h3]QoL Updates[/h3]

[p]Guardian UI Shows Price Before Unlock [/p][p]You can now see the price of locked Guardians in the UI. This transparency helps players plan and save up for their farm protectors.[/p]
[p]Furniture Bonus Effects[/p][p]We’ve verified that furniture bonus effects are now properly applied in-game. This ensures that your purchases bring real advantages.[/p]
[p]Cashier Bonus Effect Visible in UI [/p][p]Bonus effects from furniture are now clearly shown on the cashier interface. You’ll be able to see exactly how your setup impacts operations.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Bug Fixes & Visual Adjustments[/h3]

[p]Lake Wave Animation Adjustment[/p][p]We’ve adjusted the lake wave animation to be slower and smoother. The horizontal and vertical wave motion now flows at half the previous speed for a more relaxing visual.[/p][p][/p]
[p]Fish Commodity Mesh Now Displays Properly [/p][p]Previously, the 3D mesh of fish disappeared when placed in the commodity inventory. This has been resolved and your fish will now appear correctly.[/p]
[p]Fish Box Clipping When Overfilling Food Bowl[/p][p]Previously, placing fish boxes into an overfilled food bowl caused them to get stuck. This has been resolved so feeding your animals is now smoother and bug-free.[/p][p][/p]
[p]Wool Harvesting Bug with Employees
There was an issue where employees couldn’t harvest wool properly. This has now been fixed, and your workers can collect wool without any problems.[/p]
[p]3D Audio Channels Fixed
The left and right 3D audio channels were inverted, making directional sounds feel off. This has been corrected by rotating the sound source by 180 degrees.[/p]
[p]Orange Size Adjusted for Consistency
Oranges placed in boxes, shelves, and inventory were smaller than the ones on the tree. Their size has now been increased to match the tree fruit visuals more accurately.[/p]
[p]Plant Naming Corrections
Plant types are now properly categorized and named as trees, plants, shrubs, or bushes. This improves clarity in classification and item management.[/p]
[p]Fishing Rod Translation Fix
The translation for “Traditional Fishing Rod” has been corrected for consistency and clarity across languages.[/p]
