Or perhaps have Natalie tell us the number as we do our turn-ins? Thank you for the Pasture Update! It shows that it took a lot of work on your part... so Bravo! I also appreciate that you will be doing a demo on stream this week. One question, does the pets and mount leveling continue to work even when you're logged out of the game? Thanks as always!

We are allowed to collect 10X our base amount when whacking bushes or adding energy packs, so why are we restricted when fishing? If I am going to spend my time going after the Michin I would at least like to collect the energy - lol. Why can't we send gifts of VIP Memberships through Sasha anymore? I thought that we could for a while, but maybe my memory has gone bad.

485 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 8th 2023 at 8:46 AM Horsedancer1 This is about fishing on Amicus Is. The fishing bonuses used to be often be 10% to 15% chance of doubling your catch. Now it is only 1 or 2%. Could you please pop this back up? Thanks

3397 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 8th 2023 at 12:02 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Afternoon, Bush Whackers! It's good to be back! Let the Q&A begin! I'll be checking this forum thread regularly for questions throughout the next hour.

Fair idea for a trophy daily turn-in counter! Still keeps the Haversack as somewhat secret, while still giving extra info to those persuing it. I'll note it down to consider for a future update. You're welcome for the Pasture update! It's a relief to finally have it in the game :D Yes. When you next log in to the game, the Training Pens will still count time you didn't have the game open.

An area storage tool would be handy! A bit more work to implement, but I'll note it down to consider all the same.

1839 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 8th 2023 at 12:22 PM Last Edited May 8th 2023 at 12:24 PM Flybaby Nick, I just want to add how much I appreciate the filter/search bar for the ranch store and the new categories. It makes things so much easier. I can't imagine the work that went into doing that. Thanks again!!!

Elennie's idea - Would certainly be handy! Could also do this easily enough by adding new Mana/Power baits to use on most fishing holes. Didi's idea - Having the terrain change the deeper you go into the Flungeon would be very cool! Originally we were going have any depth be any terrain in the game, but this idea is thematic and tempting... 1) Excellent suggestions! I'll note these down for Georgia to consider drawing for the game. 2) Thank you for the clarification on your rune dusts suggestion. Noted. 3) Agreed! It's on our suggestions list to consider for a future update. I do think this feature would pair well with the Ranch Tours we've been doing on the streams. 4) I'll note these suggestions for the stream pro-tip portion! Thanks for sharing. 5) Lily pads are on our suggestions list, thanks :D 6) The Pasture is accessible via the World Map and Quick Travel menu. We're not looking to add a Port-Co. teleporter there at the moment. 7) We're working on the event ducky pond. Sorry for the delay.
49 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 8th 2023 at 12:33 PM linkisthehero Heya, Nick! Just checked out the revamped ranch store menu and I love it!!!! Love the new categories and search bar especially! Think I spotted a small misplacement, though, I saw that the Snow Block item seems to have been accidentally put in the Plants category. XD Just wanted to let you know so that can be fixed! Thanks again for everything you and Georgia do for the game!!! :D :D :D

HKE That's a fun idea! Like an idol/gem heist and treasure hunt. I'll note this down. Let me know if you recall the movie name.

I thought that we could for a while, but maybe my memory has gone bad. That restriction is from the original intent behind fishing, where you'd do it while waiting for your energy bar to refill. Fishing has changed somewhat since then, so this request does come up pretty often. It's on our list to consider. I believe it was only available when a special VIP package deal was on sale? ...Oh! It looks like it was replaced during the 50% of VIP deal and then not replaced properly afterwards. I'll get that fixed for the next update! Great catch, sjemb.
