Q&A 117 - May 23rd, 2023
3217 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 15th at 2:00 PM Last Edited May 19th at 12:35 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Greetings Bush Whackers! The next developer forum Q&A begins Tuesday May 23rd 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.

Since a new inventory tab with just currency might not fit nicely, could you change the order of the key items in the second inventory tab so that event's currency and items come first, then gift bags and presents, then all other currency (tokens, vuchers, odna, fragments, flux dust, mount bucks, coins, credits, etc) in order of in game appearance, then special items like the serpent stones, red orb, pomes that I see in my inventory, then consumables, then trophies, then special seeds, and LAST the eggs? (I have so many eggs) The ripped catalogue and the trinket bandolier could get omitted from key items. I also have some Easter pet pieces from 2020 which could maybe go before the eggs. I also think that kibble could go first in the consumables group. And any quests items can go after the eggs, at the end of the list since they disappear after we complete the quest. But now I noticed, the title of the inventory window is "Inventory/Customization" and on the left of the general items tab there is the word "Inventory:" again. If you ommitted that word there we could fit two more tabs I think. Edit: Bait and fertilizer could be added to the key items too. Fertilizer as the first in the special seeds group and bait after that group. Edit 2 for a request: could we deactivate the feature of equipping a wandering pet or mount in our ranch/island/pasture when clicking on it?

I have always been meaning to ask this for years, but forget to ask. Why are the Shopping Bag and Vial Quests done as fishing instead of whacking? Also, are you EVER going to have the Super Blueberries look like Blueberries instead of Lima Beans when they are released in Satchels? Many of us players have brought this to your attention for years. Yes, it isn't a big glitch, just annoying.

We can purchase more time before the VIP mode expires, and I would like to be able to add time to the other boons before time is up. Thanks!

Edit 2 for a request: could we deactivate the feature of equipping a wandering pet or mount in our ranch/island/pasture when clicking on it? I appreciate you following up on the currency tab suggestion. Unfortunately adding that granular sorting of those items within the category might just be a similar amount of effort as adding new categories! I'll keep those sorting preferences in mind though. Currently they're sorted by when they were added to the game, which isn't the greatest method. Removing the "Inventory:" text to make room is a great suggestion. Also, we could abbreviate the "General Items" tab to "General" for even more space savings.

I'm a little worried about it getting confusing having too many different sets. Its something I've got to give more thought to. 2) I'm not entirely certain how simple or complex that would be, but I'll note it down to consider for Halloween or next year's Spring Garden event.

Many of us players have brought this to your attention for years. Yes, it isn't a big glitch, just annoying. Sorry to hear it's so smoky over there for you. I hope it clears up soon! We're doing fine fire/smoke-wise over here. I suspect Justin made those quests Fishing instead of Whacking simply for variety. I understand not everyone like fishing, so I believe the solution would be a way to re-roll a daily quest somehow, as opposed to change them entirely. I appreciate the reminder about the Super Blueberries graphic glitch! Hopefully Georgia and I will have some time to correct that soon.
3217 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 23rd at 1:29 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) I just double-checked all the graphic assignments for the Super Blueberry Seeds and didn't see any issues. It'll take a bit more investigation to get to the bottom of that one, unfortunately :(

We can purchase more time before the VIP mode expires, and I would like to be able to add time to the other boons before time is up. Thanks! I can see the appeal of being able to top-up the times on these VIP powers! I'll note this suggestion down to consider for a future update.

The Spring Gnome ranch item is only shown as "Out of Stock" at the Holiday Enthusiast during the Spring Garden event, to encourage you to peruse that shop while it's available. I do agree it's somewhat confusing, so I'll consider changing it.
466 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 23rd at 1:53 PM WhackedCrafter Ty, Nick Yea, I didn't do contest this year either. 1st time since Event ever started. Mostly because this is my LEAST favorite Event. Anyways, like I said, Blueberries are just annoying. And was just wondering why bags & vials were fishing.
