Hello, ranchers! 😀🧑🏻‍🌾

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.

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.

Now, let’s take a look at what’s new:

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.

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. More diversity means more options for farming strategies and product variety.

The Slaughtering Tool and Selling Tool have been upgraded to support single-click functionality. Previously, you needed to press R to slaughter livestock and C to sell commodities, which could become repetitive over time. With this update, those actions can now be completed with a simple click, helping you save time and stay focused on running your farm efficiently.

We’ve updated the placement of name labels on inventory storage containers. This makes it easier to identify contents at a glance and helps with keeping your supplies better organized. It’s a small fix with a noticeable impact on clarity.

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.

Happy playing! 🐄🐓😄

Hello, ranchers! 🧑🏻‍🌾

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.

Now, let’s take a look at what’s new:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Happy playing! 🐄🐓

Hello, ranchers! 🧑🏻‍🌾

We’re back with a new update packed with helpful features to make your farm life smoother and more personalized. 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.

Now, let’s take a look at what’s new in this update :

You can now sell items instantly without confirmation using the Quick Sell Tool, which helps speed up item management. However, this tool excludes essential structures like Planter Boxes and Animal Pens to avoid accidental loss.

This new tool allows you to instantly process livestock without a confirmation prompt. It’s a faster option for experienced players managing large-scale animal production.

The new Hand Mode gives players more control during manual operations such as picking up, placing, or interacting with farm elements. It’s useful for precision tasks without auto-switching tools.

A new large-capacity container is now available, perfect for organizing messy or scattered boxes. Note that this container only accepts boxes not already stored or held in your bag.

The tooltip system on product racks has been improved. Now, each focused commodity displays its information more clearly, making stock management easier.

We’ve added an “Off” option to the particle settings in the game. This allows players to completely disable particle effects if desired, improving performance or providing a cleaner visual experience.

Players can now access an “Unstuck” button directly from the Escape menu during gameplay. This feature lets you quickly reset your character’s position if you ever get stuck in the environment. It’s fully translated and designed to be easy and convenient to use.

1. Fixed Collider in Front of the House

   An invisible collider that previously blocked player movement near the house has been removed. You can now walk around this area without any unexpected interruptions.

2. Corrected Translation for Orange Juice

   The translation for “Orange Juice” has been fixed. This ensures it displays correctly in the game’s supported languages.

3. Fixed Livestock Aging Bug

   A bug causing livestock to become "old" immediately after loading a save has been resolved. Your animals will now age normally based on their life cycle.

4. Fixed Crop Residue Collection

   An issue preventing players from collecting crop residue has been fixed. You can now clear your fields without any disruptions.

Hello ranchers!

We’ve just released a new content update packed with machines, better farming systems, and improved game balance. Let’s dive into what’s new in this version:

You can now unlock two new machines to support plant health: the Manure Processor and the Composter. After unlocking the Waste Bucket, you can collect livestock waste and crop residue from old plants. Once collected, each waste can be processed into Manure from livestock waste or Compost from crop residue. Both outputs serve as valuable nutrients to improve the yield and quality of your crops.

We’ve added several new production machines focused on upgrading plant-based commodities into more valuable items. These machines become available as you reach higher levels. From this update we add machine to process tomato, cucumber, chili, apple, orange, and peach. Try exploring the new unlocks to see how you can increase your farming profits!

A new door has been added inside your store, giving you direct access to the lake area. This shortcut makes it more convenient to reach the lake without needing to walk around the back of your building. This small change will saves time and improves your daily flow.

You can now level up all the way to Level 32! This allows access to more advanced tools, machines, and explore another gameplay to keep your farm growing stronger.

That’s all for now, and we hope these additions bring more ways to play on your farming journey. As always, if you’re enjoying the game, leaving a review helps us a lot. We also welcome your suggestions or reports in the Discussions section.

Hello ranchers! 🐔

We’re back with a new update packed with helpful features to make your farm life smoother and more personalized. 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.

Now, let’s take a look at what’s new in this update :

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Hello ranchers! 🐔

We’re back with a new update packed with helpful features to make your farm life smoother and more personalized. Before jumping to the new updates we put in the latest update we want to remind you that our launch discount 20% still active within the Summer Sale event, so grab it fast before the launch discount ended.

You can now assign your employees to a new task: Maintenance. When this task is enabled, employees will help clean up livestock waste, remove sick and old non-productive plants from planter boxes. This allows you to focus on other tasks without constantly worrying about cleanliness.

To assign job roles, open the employee tab from the main menu and click the gear icon on each employee to configure their task priorities. Each employee can be customized individually.

Since fish can now be treated as a sellable commodity, we’ve added the ability to prioritize fish in the “Focus Commodity” system. Your employees can now help move fish from storage directly to the shelf you’ve marked for fish sales.

To improve organization and give players more control, you can now rename your animal pens and planter boxes. This is great for keeping track of different areas in your farm — especially if you manage multiple types of crops or animals.

The previous 80-unit limit for wood in the Wood Storage has been removed. You can now store as much wood as you need to support more build and long-term planning.

We’ve corrected the in-game message that appears when feeding fish to your guardian pet to better reflect the intended meaning.

Fixed the collider size and position for ostriches to make it easier to collect their eggs.

Resolved a visual overlap issue where ostrich eggs appeared incorrectly inside the storage box.

Adjusted the collider on trees so players can more easily move planter boxes nearby.

Fixed an issue where goat meat incorrectly appeared with the visual model of other meat. It now displays correctly.

Hello, Ranch Farmers! 🧑🏻‍🌾

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!

1. Furniture Now Unlocks at Level 4

   To ensure a smoother gameplay curve, furniture is now available from Level 4 onwards. This helps players gradually customize their space as they progress.

2. Orange Cat Can Chase Wild Animals Right After Purchase

   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.

   

3. Inventory Storage Moved to Level 5

   Inventory expansion is now available at Level 5 instead of earlier. This change spaces out progression and adds a sense of reward.

   

4. Fishing Distance Made Shorter

   You can now fish from a closer range, making fishing easier and more accessible. This small tweak improves convenience without reducing challenge.

   

5. Wool Pricing Increased

   Wool now sells for a higher price than apples, making it a more profitable resource. This helps balance product values across the farm economy.

   

1. Guardian UI Shows Price Before Unlock

   You can now see the price of locked Guardians in the UI. This transparency helps players plan and save up for their farm protectors.

2. Furniture Bonus Effects

   We’ve verified that furniture bonus effects are now properly applied in-game. This ensures that your purchases bring real advantages.

2. Fish Commodity Mesh Now Displays Properly

   Previously, the 3D mesh of fish disappeared when placed in the commodity inventory. This has been resolved and your fish will now appear correctly.

3. Fish Box Clipping When Overfilling Food Bowl

   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.

   

4. Wool Harvesting Bug with EmployeesThere was an issue where employees couldn’t harvest wool properly. This has now been fixed, and your workers can collect wool without any problems.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Fishing Rod Translation Fix
   The translation for “Traditional Fishing Rod” has been corrected for consistency and clarity across languages.
