Features and QoL Updates

1. New Livestock: Blue Peacock

Blue peacocks are now available as a new type of livestock on your ranch. In addition to adding a touch of beauty and elegance to your farm environment, these majestic birds will be linked to exclusive products and unique features in future updates.

2. Toolbar with Mouse Wheel Support

You can now switch between tools using the mouse scroll wheel. This small but impactful feature makes gameplay feel smoother and lets you manage your equipment with greater ease.

3. Increased Interactable Range for Captured Wild Animals

You can now interact with captured wild animals from a greater distance. If you've captured a wild animal before it enters the farm fence, you now have a way to interact with it.

4. Improved Feed Visibility

The color of the animal feed itself has been updated to better indicate its status. This makes it easier to see whether the feed needs refilling just by glancing at it.

5. Aging Animal Warning System

Animals that are nearing the end of their lifespan now display a warning icon above them. This icon is also shown in the info overlay, helping you plan ahead and manage your livestock more effectively.

6. Planter Box & Animal Pen Info Details

We’ve added selection overlays when using the radiator view on planter boxes and animal pens. This makes it easier to identify and manage specific farm areas at a glance. You can toggle this view by pressing the X key on your keyboard.

7. Rename Guardians

You can now give your Guardians custom names once they’re unlocked. This adds a personal touch and makes your farm companions feel even more special.

8. Rename Employees

Unlocked employees can now be renamed as well. Whether for fun or organization, this feature helps you personalize your ranch team.

9. Extra Tutorial Menu Added

A new tutorial menu is now available for reviewing tips and guides you've unlocked during gameplay. It’s useful for both new players and returning ones who want a quick refresher.

10. Pause Menu with Time Freeze

We’ve added a new Pause Menu that stops in-game time when opened. It’s perfect for players who want to take a quick break or review their progress without pressure.

11. Employee Job Role Variation

Employees now have visible role distinctions, showing who is responsible for maintenance and other tasks. This adds more clarity to your workforce management and helps optimize farm operations.

That’s it for this update. Small tweaks, but ones that improve efficiency and make your ranch feel more like your own! This updates only available for the early access version and not in the demo.

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.
