\| Page 1 2 Q&A 105 - February 21st, 2023 ; Pasture Zone Feedback
3397 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 13th 2023 at 2:06 PM Last Edited February 21st 2023 at 2:08 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Greetings Bush Whackers! The next developer forum Q&A begins Tuesday February 21st at 1 PM to 2 PM Pacific (or 8-9 UTC). I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts on the upcoming Pasture update! Here are some details regarding this update: - Allows the unlocking of a new Pasture Zone: a new area to decorate and visit, like the Lake Island - The Pasture zone will have a Barn which will contain Training Pens for your pets and mounts to gain XP at while you're away - A series of quests will unlock the pasture - The pasture zone will have area expansions, purchased for Gold like in the Ranch and Lake Island - The Barn will be upgradable to accommodate more training pens - Training pens must be built/purchased, somewhat like plots during the Spring Garden event - Training pens must be stocked with Kibble for your pet or mount to eat while you're away. Kibble costs Gold or Bush Bucks. Premium Kibble yields more XP over time. 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.

None in the pasture itself? I look forward to new quests. At some point could we have tool shed/garage for our mechanical companions and mounts? And maybe a Gazebo for the human shaped ones. It feels weird to lock Georgia in a training pen but maybe I'm overthinking things.

Would it also be possible to add a few more garden plots to grow seeds in the pasture? I like Vegan1964's ideas to have a tool shed for mechanical companions and mounts and a gazebo for human shaped ones. Am excited about a new area opening up! Thanks!

482 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 20th 2023 at 10:55 PM WhackedCrafter Well, ok Barbzak....We had President's Day today, Monday, but nothing was closed. Oh well, guess since no Twitch I won't make sure to watch for it. No one is going to my Golf Course anyways besides you, my daughter-in-law, and another player.
482 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 21st 2023 at 12:58 PM WhackedCrafter Suggestion about Buddy Request Limit. Since only way someone can have you doaTour for their places they have to add you to their Buddy List which means if they're at max of 250 they have to delete someone, which is ok if someone hasn't played in weeks, but not if everyone is current. So maybe now is a good time to raise those limits to maybe 300?

Kibble is separate from Mount Feed and the Training Pens are fixed within the Barn. Yes, putting those kids of companions in the Barn might be a little strange. I do consent to the Nick doll pet going in there at least :P. Having a variety of pet shelters would be neat! I'll note these down.

You can consider it a piece of it, but I'd prefer we use "Pasture" to refer to this zone and update to reduce confusion. 1) Correct. Like the ranch and lake island expansions, the pasture expansions will cost Gold. We don't currently have the tech to support alternate expansion options and I don't have time to add them for this update, but I'll consider it for potential future zones. 2) No. The same ranch items you can place on your home Ranch and Island will be permitted on the Pasture. 3) Yes. You'll be able to set the Pasture's theme, like you can for the Ranch, Lake Island, and Mini Golf Course.

Is there a "road map" of plans for BW2? We do have a list of requests from players, as well as an internal roadmap. Neither of these are publicly available, however. I've been meaning to create a public roadmap/board that players can vote on the feature of, but haven't found the time. Moderating such a thing will also take away from development time, so I've been putting it off at least until the Prismatic Passage and Zoo are completed.

I was considering having Pristine Feed be awarded each time you expand the Pasture, but haven't settled on that yet. Maybe via a large amount of Mount Bucks? I'll consider other ways you can acquire them. Trading them is an interesting idea too.

Mount Bucks can already be spent to buy a level up for your Mount, so I don't think it's necessary to also allow you to spend them on Kibble, which becomes XP to gain level ups. I'm hesitant to add more Dirt Plots, as you already have a fair number of them after expanding your main Ranch. I'm not against it entirely, but would need careful consideration.
3397 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 21st 2023 at 1:29 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) WhackedCrafter - As Barb mentioned, February 20th was family day, so I pushed back this Q&A to today, Tuesday. There will still be a Twitch stream later today, touring the remaining Valentine's ranches and courses.
