Regarding stacking pet treats, how about just making the pet treats equal x amount of xp? That way you do not have calculate relative value. They will always be a set value.

I think I have fed all three characters at least 10 times, but it says I am missing one to earn the achievement. Is there some way to let us know how many times each Bubble Buddy has been fed? Thanks.

It was one of the stranger pet requests over the years, haha! A Saloon building would be neat! And sarsaparilla is a great beverage idea. Noted.

It would be nice to have a place to purchase energy drinks. Regarding stacking pet treats, how about just making the pet treats equal x amount of xp? That way you do not have calculate relative value. They will always be a set value. Adding a store to the Amicus bar has been suggested, and I agree it would be neat! Having Pet Treats be the amount of XP instead of level would make them more literal, for sure. This last update I did add a store to Hank the Farmhand where you can trade up Level 5 and Level 10 pet treats at least. Details are in the blog: http://codenameentertainment.com/?page=blog&post_id=1575#blog Specifically, "Can combine some lower level Pet Treats into higher level Pet Treats. Talk to Hank the Farmhand in the Commons, choose "I'd like to use a Pet Treat!" then "Combine Pet Treats". 9 level 5 treats get you 2 level 10, and 7 level 10 get you 3 level 15."

It hits a mixed priority as it's very trivial to move out of a field to access the event button, so hasn't quite warranted the work in changing that. 2) Great points! I did finally add water "surface" you can place water items on in your ranch. I'll make a point to add similar surfaces to the Lake Island and mini golf zone pond. 3) I really like this fishing flag idea. It's been on our suggestions list for a while. I'll review it and adjust its priority accordingly. 4) Great costume item suggestions. I'll note them down to consider. 5) I'll add a Duck Blind and Elmer Fudd gnome to our ranch items suggestions list. 6) It's 1 free instant basic pet egg hatch, and you can get 2 more for 15 BB each.

Thanks. Glad you like the new mini-event! There was a bug causing that achievement not to credit when you fed certain buddies. It's fixed now, and will credit the next time you feed any buddy. Sorry for the inconvenience! I've made note to add a fed count for the buddies for next time.
