1) I'd like to suggest a coupon to buy from Clint's mount store whatever mount I'd like--- And from PAGAS pet store, a coupon to buy whichever pet I'd like. What do you think about that! That's a coupon or two worth buying! I'd buy several-- LOL HKE! (Is this possible? Is this do able even?)

2) A Christmas in July Sale!!!
lots of pets, mounts, ranch items, etc. fun fun fun

Pet/Mount sale usually toward the end of the Dog Days of Summer Event, HKE. Admittedly, a ranch item sale, like a clearance or even a garage sale would be interesting. As for Clint, he doesn't really have any mounts; just takes certain ones you no longer want, and shows you which Mounts you have or had.

Speaking of ranch items, is there a way we can get generic arrow and marking signs? Don't really need to say anything, just look like they have writing on them. Maybe even give them customizable markings (like many of the mannequins).

I was wondering if there could be a quick link added to get to Bushwacker wiki. I know it is not an "official" website for codename but if it could legally be done it would be nice.

Question about the Flower Box event awards for 2022.
When first put on a ranch, they are about the size of a Garden Plot, purchased from Farmer McDonald. When put back into inventory, then placed again on the ranch, they are about a 1/4 of the size.

Is this normal?

They are cute :) but small :(

Another bug/feature/quirk?

When solving puzzles, I like to work in full screen mode (F key). For some reason a few pieces end up landing "off the screen" and are unable to be placed until after I close the full screen mode. Is there some logic change between windowed and full screen mode as to the placement of puzzle pieces?

Hi All,

For those who've seen the tour of my ranch:
1) Yes Nick, kind of. It's a Bed & Breakfast and Camp Bushwhacker
2) I'm a foodie, so food galore
3) The hidden rooms are as follows:
3.1) Ground floor bathroom
There are two bedrooms on the ground floor
3.2) 1st Floor bathroom
3.3) Island cabin bedroom
3.4) Island cabin bathroom
3.5) Island cabin sports equipment and locker area

This is why I previously asked for ranch items like:
Bathroom sink, shower stall, bunk beds, wardrobe, vanity etc.

Hi Nick,

1) Is there an easy way to find out which SBAs I haven't done without having to revisit all of them?
2) Would it be much trouble to add 2 more keyboard bindings for us - poor players - who aren't using standard (US) qwerty keyboards? I was thinking of adding an "A" with parallel functionality to "Q" and "Z" parallel to "W". This would make life much easier for people using French standard keyboards (azerty).
3) What is the function of the "bar of friends" in the lower left part of the UI? In the 2+ years I've been playing I've never had to use it... It seems kind of superfluous.
4) Most flash/action script programmers I know of, have a background in making flash games. I wonder what games you've previously made, and whether they might show up in the flashpoint archive? 😉

Hi Nick ...

Since the Patriot Event is cancelled this year, is there any way for you to make previous Patriot event ranch and customization items available to Newbies or those who missed out on them? Such as the 2012 BBQ reward, USA and Canadian flags, picnic tables and chairs, etc., etc. Having to wait another year for these items to be offered again is a long time.

Maybe some of these items could be made available in our ranch stores? Or perhaps the Holiday Enthusiast could sell other holiday items besides just garden gnomes. Just a thought. Thanks

Hi fellow bushwhackians

1- just to answer MadManix's question NO#3, the bar of friends at the bottom, you can also access your friends ranch's and such like the bowling pin thing does which also accesses your friends ranch's etc ok, hope this helps

2- thank you for the community mini event Nick, i know i liked it, and the theme too, but as usual, a few folk did not like it, you can read the thread under the General Discussion section, so here's my thoughts on how it could be improved if you do it again ok...
- i think it was the dino bag or dig bag - but it gave fossils, we can find those already, maybe next time we could get like a dino skeleton like those displays, and we have to put them together like lego , also i have been speaking to other players on chat some think the reward for meeting our goal was not worth all that trouble, and they think maybe a dino pet/mount as a reward would of been nicer, i myself liked the mini-event

- could we get more of those displays the dino skeletons the t-rex.pterdactyl and raptor, but on Amicus merchants perhaps

3- Dinosaur pets for either gen or mini events like this one, here is some dinos which would make good pets.....

1- Dilophosaurus - when you click on it , it could open up its frill perhaps
2- Diptrotodon - prehistoric giant wombat from Australia
3- Kakuru
4-Corthyosaurus, would go great with the parasaurolophus pet already from Cera hub
5-wooly rhino - elasmotherium
6- Ichthyosaurs
7- Pleisosaur
8- Arthropleura - a prehistoric giant centipede/millipede, about 4-5 metres long so smallish

hope this helps with idea's

4- Patriot Mini event idea - SIMPLE - make it a mini community event, where we have a choice find firework or Meat, and we have to meet a certain quota, and we get tokens everytime we hand in meat/fireworks

5- Fence idea's - Bamboo fences like you had for the dino mini event, barbed wire fence and you could have a crow sitting on it perhaps, similair to the snow fort fence thing but made from stone like in medieval times......FYI the maize hedge thing, make s a horrible fence too ok lol

happy to hear folks thoughts

Thanks for your answer, Russel.

It's not as if I don't know what that "friend bar" is being used for. However when I need to switch to a friend's farm, I use the "view all friends" button which is much more functional than the "friend bar".
I just wondered if it had any other uses apart from its limited functionality. If not, then it really is superfluous...

1) Would require a bit of setup... I'll give it some thought!

2) I'll consider a Christmas in July sale for next July!

A ranch item clearance/garage sale is a neat idea! I'll consider running one in the future.

A customizable sign you can write messages on and read them when you mouse over has been suggested in the past and might work well for your generic marking sign idea.

Generic arrow signs should be doable! I'll note them down for Georgia to consider making.

I think linking to the wiki directly from the game would imply it's more than a community wiki. While it's not as convenient, you could bookmark the wiki page in your browser if you haven't already.

That sounds very unusual! I haven't heard of any item shrinking when you put it in storage.

Does it return to normal size when you re-load the game?

While I'm not certain why this happens, I suspect it might be the non-full screen game has wider dimensions than your monitor, so the game thinks it has more horizontal room to place pieces, but gets less when you then go into full screen.
