I was wondering why u couldnt use the ranch icon under the spring when ur at a friends ranch its greyed out mute point since u can click the big green button but i was wondering why is it greyed out. One last ? can we get a option for crops we havent started in the splicer or planted. Hard to keep track. |

ikiniWhat about having the return arrow button be a pop-up with Farthest and Last? (I'm working on Cloud Kingdom and that would be helpful.) I'm guessing that that wouldn't be helpful for those in the fluxeon, but you are still getting new players (I've only been playing for a year and half or so) and it would be helpful for them and me.

TheCatWhispurrerLast Edited September 19th 2023 at 12:56 PM In line with the request of Bartimaeus' request for being able to place the security cameras on the outside of the ranch house, I recently discovered that the cameras are meant for Indoor use. What if, for the sake of making it easier to implement, outside security cameras were made? Unless just fixing a way to put stuff on the outside of the ranch and island houses is easier, but that just sounds like it might take a bit more technical detail. Just trying to make things easier for everyone, including you, Nick.

Russel DentonLast Edited October 2nd 2023 at 11:22 AM 1- In continuation from the previous Q/A, with my idea of having a mini event like the Butterfly one but with other species of insect, here is a list of candidates that could be used.
-Hercules Beetle Dynastes Hercules from Mexico and Sth America -Praying mantis -Roseate Skimmer Orthemis ferruginea from USA/Brazil -Giant Weta Deinacrida heteracantha from NZ -Orchid Mantis Hymenopus coronatus from S/E Asia -Pink spotted lady beetle Coleomegilla maculata from Nrth America -22-spotted ladybeetle Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata from Europe -White Christmas Beetle - Anoplognathus pallidicollis from Australia -Dung Beetle ( and it could do the rolling dung thing action on the ranch) 2- The Wizard of Oz mini event we just had, it seems a lot of players enjoyed it, but think there was a lot of missed potential in it, by just having 1 quest, so i came up with some quests, and pets we could have if this mini-quest were to happen again QUEST IDEA'S - Find and also fish up green items, we would have to whack up 80 green crystals, and fish up 20 green beer bottles, as a reward we would get a miniature Emerald city to put on our ranch - Missing flying monkeys - we have to find 50 missing flying monkeys - as a reward we would get their outfit they wear so a hat,wings and monkey face mask - Find oil cans for both tin man and tick tock ( 50 each) , as a reward we would get a tin man and tic-tok gnome for our ranch - Find 100 bottles of courage for the cowardly lion - the reward would be we get a cowardly lion gnome - Find 100 second-hand brains for the scarecrow- we get as a reward a scarecrow hat, scarecrow mask, and outfit/shirt, and straw-hand gloves PETS/MOUNTS for OZ mini-event - flying monkey - pet - Tick-Tock - pet - flying Bed W/ MOOSE HEAD ( from RETURN TO OZ) - MOUNT - Flying monkey mount 3- For whenever we have another Endangered species mini-event, i came up with some suitable candidates, i found while looking on google and the IUCN list. Gorilla Snow Leopard Hooded Grebe – can only go on duck pond perhaps Ultramarine Lorikeets Southern Cassowary Black-necked Stork Florida scrub jay Red-headed Woodpecker Pangolin Bongo Lear’s macaw Red Stumpnose seabream Banded ground gecko 4- last year Marvel brought out around xmas time a small movie called "Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special" in that they had a alien sing about their interpretations of christmas, and it was quite funny too, so i was thinking what if we had something similar happen in the christmas event, by having a alien come visit and we have to find things THEY think are associated with christmas, we could find something like the following: - Find 20 Missile's and 20 Toes (Mistletoe) - Find 20 Buckets of Rain and 20 deer (Reindeer) - Find 20 red light bulbs ( to stick on a reindeer) and eventually find a deer too, ( rudolph the red-nosed reindeer) 5- again, xmas related idea, what if we had a community quest happen just before the xmas event started, and all players had to help decorate a tree that appears in commons, it could temporarily replace our statue perhaps, and when we completed the community quest, it would unlock the start of the xmas event perhaps - how the community quest would go, we would get to choose whether we wanted to find either - Baubles - Tinsel - xmas star - xmas lights - Candy canes very simple really 6- with the current dig event, when we hand in fossils, we get energy back, which is good, but what if it also gave us some mana/power too, instead of just energy |

FlybabyLast Edited October 2nd 2023 at 11:47 AM Greetings Nick,
1) I notice that there are pets and mounts in the Jr Bushwacker event area (and other events) that do not roam, and are there for decorative purposes. It probably isn't feasible, but is there any possibility of creating a toggle option that would make the pets and mounts immobile on our ranches? This would be great when decorating our ranches so we don't have to pen them in when wanting to use them in a particular area. I also notice there can be a lot of lag time when visiting friend ranches that have a lot of pets and mounts roaming around, so maybe that option would be helpful for that as well. 2) Just a little reminder about the VIP Quest Whacks Buff: The toggle On/Off button is not operational when purchased with a VIP voucher. Several months ago you said, "Fixing that is on my todo list." Is this something you still plan on working on? As always, thanks for all you do. |

Vegan1964It's probably too late for this Halloween but how a quest to help unquiet spirits pass on? A series of ghosts who have something unfinished in this life need the Bushwhacker to find things, return things, deliver messages to people in the field, etc

Hongkongelder1130Last Edited September 30th 2023 at 10:17 PM @ Russ nice oz ideas
id like to put in my vote for another OZ event next year!!! id like a DON'T EASE sign From "Ease on Down the Road. .from THE WIZ Also besides the famous ruby slippers, can we add Dorothy's white ones from the WIZ and the book. Id like to see the pets return again too--- scarecrow , tin man and lion. I'd like to propose a "Prove you're not a Witch" water balloon fight! grab yourself a bucket of water balloons and play in the commons ---along the lines of the snowball fight in the Christmas event or the water balloons on AI you could make a fancy BALLOON MOUNT The one Dorothy missed out on and the one the wizard took off on enough Oz onward to Halloween Creature features are great for Halloween CREATURES OF THE COPPERS Could we please see: 1 The flaming black Cadillac mount 2 the fairy horse mount 3 cosmonaut pet and the other things our collections that may be missing--- in a creature feature. pet and/or mount Could you please put a fourth item to buy in with the creature of the coppers with the past pets and/or mounts I'd really like to see a dragon, hat and flag from the pride month series available to buy--- and ill buy it! ---I know its not pride month , but id buy a dragon, hat and flag if one was put out anytime as part of the creature feature CREATURE OF THE COPPERS even if it cost a little more. Please it would be a nice fourth item to choose from. Thank you. FOR THANKSGIVING could we get a crack at that little chef pet. Can we please have a pet/ mount sale for BLACK FRIDAY and CYBERMONDAY? FOR CHRISTMAS id like the first snowman that led all the others. The one that's there just as you open PAGAS pet progress. As always just ideas--- thank you Nick for all you and the team Georgia Gabe etc. do ---you do a fantastic job and many thankless hours are spent--- thank you, hopefully our ideas will turn into gold for you! gotta pay the Victoria light bill ...HKE |

1didisafehi. i have done with crop-researching all crops already. i have 45 crops on lvl 10 (the last one is in last research) only the flux seeds are left to do. and those are hard to get...
1- the achievement is only for 40 crops. one more tier is needed to add to the achievement. 2- are we getting any new crops soon? 3- I'd love to have Almonds seeds added to the fruit seeds. 4 a suggestion: how about opening a new category of super-food seeds, GRAIN. (or Cereal). it will give mana or power, as we have gold-crops and energy-cros. same system but for mana or power. GRAINS crops may include: wheat, corn, (we already have both..) oats, rice, quinoa, sorghum, millet, rye, and barley. maybe beans.. (and my favorite is 'black eyed pea'). going back to no.2 : are we getting any new crops soon? Thank you for this developer-players connection. it is great. Didi |

BlahrameweAn idea I had that was sparked by the community quest for fossils: Make a stretch goal once the main goal is reached. As an example, for every 150k additional fossils turned in everyone get an additional dino haunch. This idea isn't limited to the current event but for any in the future that will have a community quest.

One last ? can we get a option for crops we havent started in the splicer or planted. Hard to keep track. I see what you mean now. Yes, the ranch icon in the quick-travel/spring menu is greyed out when you're visiting a friend's ranch. While this state isn't technically correct, you still have the big green button to go back to your own ranch, so I'm not sure correcting this warrants the development time required. Fair point, though! Adding more sorting options to the plant splicer is on my list! Having one for unresearched crops is a good idea. |
