v0.3.7 - Wild Birds, Bird Cage, and More Plants

[p]Hello, ranchers! 😀🧑🏻‍🌾[/p][p][/p][p]We're back with an exciting update that adds new content and quality-of-life improvements to make managing your ranch smoother and more enjoyable. Thank you to your valuable feedback through the in-app system and Steam Discussion forums, we’ve been able to roll out several improvements and adjustments in this patch. With hundreds of suggestions coming in, we're developing the game iteratively and incrementally to ensure steady and meaningful progress with each update.[/p][p][/p][p]Before we dive into the details, a quick reminder: our 20% launch discount is still active as part of the Steam Summer Sale, so grab it fast before the launch discount ended.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, let’s take a look at what’s new:[/p][p][/p][h3]1. Wild Birds & Bird Cage [/h3][p]You can now find wild birds in nature and capture them for your farm. Once caught, they can be placed in a bird cage, adding more life and charm to your ranch. Wild birds are considered a type of livestock, but unlike others, they can’t be purchased from the tab menu. They can only be obtained by catching them in the wild. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]2. More Plants Added[/h3][p]We’ve added a wider selection of crops for you to grow. All available plant types are now organized in the tab menu, making it easier to browse and plan your farm layout. Many of these new plants are unlocked at higher levels, giving you more to look forward to as your farm progresses.

v0.2.54 - Parallel Work with Employees & Playstyle Setup

[p]Hello, ranchers! 🧑🏻‍🌾[/p][p][/p][p]We’re back with a new update that gives you more flexibility in how you manage your farm, store, and workers. These additions are all about letting you play your way, streamline your workflow, and fine-tune your experience. Thanks to your valuable feedback through the in-app system and Steam Discussion forums, we’ve been able to implement several improvements and adjustments in this patch. Before we dive into the details, a quick reminder: our 20% launch discount is still active as part of the Steam Summer Sale, so grab it fast before the launch discount ended.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, let’s take a look at what’s new:[/p][p][/p][h3]1. Parallel Work with Employees[/h3][p]You can now work side-by-side with your employees. Whether you’re harvesting crops from planter boxes, restocking shelves, or taking care of animal pens, your staff can assist without interrupting your actions. This makes multitasking smoother and improves overall productivity on your farm.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]2. “Only Player Can Access” Option on Commodity Shelves[/h3][p]Need full control over specific shelves? You can now mark any commodity shelf as “Only Player Can Access”, which prevents employees from interacting with them. This is perfect for shelves that require special attention or limited-edition items you don’t want restocked automatically.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]3. Playstyle Setup Introduced[/h3][p]We’ve introduced a Playstyle Setup system that allows players to fine-tune various gameplay parameters to better match their personal preferences. You can now adjust how fast in-game days pass, how quickly crops and livestock grow, and how often wild animals appear on your farm.[/p][p]This feature was added in response to the wide range of player preferences we’ve observed. While some players enjoy a faster-paced experience, others prefer a more realistic, slower rhythm that mimics real-life farming. With this system, you’re free to tailor the game to suit the pace and style you enjoy most.[/p][p]Please note: the Wild Animal Frequency setting has been moved from the general settings into this new Playstyle Setup. If you’ve previously customized this setting, your preferences will be automatically transferred, so you don’t need to reconfigure anything.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As always, if you enjoy the game we’d be grateful if you leaving a review, and don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts or suggestions in the Discussions section.
