3397 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 14th 2022 at 2:01 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Greetings Bush Whackers! The next developer forum Q&A begins Monday November 21st at 1 PM to 2 PM Pacific (or 8-9 UTC). Feel free to post your questions in advance if you're unable to attend, and I'll try to answer all the questions during the live session.

It is annoying to have to scroll down every time to get back to the next person on my "friends" list. Would it be possible, programming-wise, to let the list stay where I last left it, at least while I am online?

Or perhaps raise the caps of items needed to collect for those pets and mounts so that we won't have to spend down our various currencies that we are saving for them?

Is there a way to make that box bigger so it is easier to see who is requesting items? I like to know or I would just click, Accept All. But I use the information to ask those people in return. Thanks.

I am LOVING the new content and the puzzles where I can actually solve the 49 piece puzzles. The previous puzzles with mostly one color (and those with many more pieces) were very frustrating and not fun for me. Having fun again with this game is great!!!

The Thanksgiving parade is so much fun to watch, but it's over in a blink of an eye. Is there a chance you could give us the option of repeating it? I'd love to have the chance to watch it again.

Would it be possible, programming-wise, to let the list stay where I last left it, at least while I am online? I can totally understand how that would be annoying! Some of the other dialogs remember your last settings between closing and opening them, so it shouldn't be too painful to implement. I'll note this down to consider adding in a future update.

The Flux Store and Burglary Boutique are both intended for you to pick away at after you've completed the latest content update. However, you bring up a fair point about missing out on currencies while you're at max waiting to return to the Flux. Though, for most of those currencies, you could hold off on doing those daily quests until you return to the Flux. That being said, I'll give it some thought.

Still wouldnt midn a option to abandon a daily glad its on the QOL list. I don't recall changing the price of Fertilizer in the past few years. Abandoning dailies is still on my list to consider, though there are higher priority improvements than it at the moment.

Thanks. You can currently see 4 and a half requests. Unfortunately there's not enough screen space to increase it past 5. You can use the yellow arrows to scroll up and down the list to view up to 50 pending requests. Remember the hotkeys to scroll faster apply to this list. Hold Shift and click to scroll a "page", and Shift+Ctrl and click to scroll to the very end.

The previous puzzles with mostly one color (and those with many more pieces) were very frustrating and not fun for me. Having fun again with this game is great!!! Actually, the Special Puzzle Pieces are a quest item, so Quest Bonuses would apply to finding more of them. Confusing, I know! So glad you're enjoying the new content!

The HAM Radio is currently limited to a package deal, which may return from time-to-time.

I'll note them down for Georgia to consider adding to the game, be it for the next pet generation, premium packs, or otherwise. 2) We've already got a Jeep doodad from Kaine's dinosaur mystery, so adding that and a Jurassic Park themed version would be easy enough, I think! Your other suggestions are also excellent. I've noted them down! 3) I'll note your gingerbread suggestions for this year and/or next year's Christmas event, or for something else!

I was considering making this change for this year, but ran out of time as it was more of a re-work than I had predicted. Maybe next year! I hope you enjoyed the Pizza Balloon XD

Thank you for the questions, feedback, and discussion! I hope those quietly reading this afterwards find it informative. Tune in to the Bush Whacker Weekly livestream tomorrow for more mini golf cruising and ranch touring! See you then!
