Is there a way in-game to keep track of what special items in each fishing pool one has fished up? I got panicked and sold a bunch of stuff early on so I'm not sure what I have already fished up where.

I'd like to have a flag indicator on each fishing hole when we've fished all the special items. It's hard to go back through the wiki and do a match up.

Vegan, I like that. I wonder if it is possible. It surely would be a nice solution.

Hi Nick!
I´ve been after a Max Mana Mount for some time with no success. That is with base 5% Max Mana.
None of the in game has it and in the last pet/mount sales either. I can´t buy with $$$ premium ones.
Why is it so rare to appear? Is there a chance to get one in the next sale? (please?):D
Thanks!!!!!

I think I caught a spelling error when meeting the bookie in the mysterious forest. He asks what is the shadiest thing I have done. I think the first reply should be "I lay down under a big tree. (lay/lie is such a pain to differentiate.)

Hi Nick,
Is there a way to make the game less glitchy? Some players, including myself, have been noticing that it's been getting worse, particularly during events. One player has issues and mentioned in chat "I'd clicked on the 'Go To Event' button on event page and it stayed up, could not click it away." The glitchiness gets particularly bad after switching areas multiple times

I think we need more snakes. More snake companions, more snake mounts. I know there are some already but there are so many possibilities-water snakes, boas, rainbow snakes, garter snakes, vipers, mambas. They come in almost every color and you could have flying snakes.

Hi Nick,

The barbells in the summer sports event store gave me an idea.

It would be great to have some gym equipment for our ranch. Maybe a treadmill like the one the blob fish trains on in the Dog Days event, and other items such as a body weight scale, a static exercise bike, bench, yoga mat, bar bell rack, weight bench, exercise ball.

Thanks for your considering.

Hi Nick,

Just a little reminder of a question I asked in Q&A a while back:

"During events we get more than the usual number of help requests from friends, but we can only view the first 100 requests. We don't have any indicator showing there may be more requests waiting.

After clicking "Accept All," requests, we see a blank page that says "no requests," even though we may have actually have another 100 or more requests waiting.

The only way to see if we have more requests is to close the window and click on the pink request icon to re-open it. This leaves some players to think they've accepted all their requests and never go back to look for more.

Could you please add an arrow or a “continue to next page” button to indicate there are more requests waiting? This would be a great help to all players who have sent friend requests, so they may get help in a more timely fashion.

Thanks

I can't seem to get the Onside Play achievement although there are no quests available. Could it have something to do with the Trophy Polisher?

I don't think you'd be able to sell the ranch items fished up from the fishing holes. If you could, you could also buy them back from the ranch store.

So you can cross reference what's in your inventory with the list on the wiki here: https://bushwhacker2.fandom.com/wiki/Fishing

The search bar on the Ranch Store/Inventory will make this easy for the ranch items. It will be a bit more cumbersome with the costume items.

It's on our list of suggestions to better indicate this. Someone suggested adding blue flags to the world map locations if you've fished all the special items there.

I like this suggestion and am considering it for a future Quality of Life update.

The Max Mana bonus is rather rare! There are only 14 mounts with the Max Mana bonus. I'll consider ensuring one of the future mounts has this bonus. The pets and mounts for sales are randomly chosen, so I cannot guarantee one with the Max Mana bonus will be included, but it might be!

You are correct! In the past tense, it should be "I laid down...". I've corrected it to this for the next update.

Great catch!

It's hard to say exactly what causes these. To hazard a guess, it could be limited available RAM on your computer. As you change areas or load busy zones, like the event area, your computer has to load more graphics. It's possible the game runs out of RAM and causes the "glitchiness". This theory could explain why not everyone experiences these issues, and why they're worse under the conditions you mentioned.

We could investigate some performance improvements to mitigate this, but they are very time consuming and don't always produce results. Doing so would come at the cost of adding content to the game, which is why they've been on the back burner for so long.

Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime! I'll consider poking around for some optimizations for the next Quality of Life update.

S-s-snakes! Some great ideas. I'll note these down for Georgia and I to consider.

Great ideas! It looks like the green Exercise Ball in the 3rd floor of the Skyscraper hasn't been added to a store yet either! I've noted these all down to consider, particularly for the Summer Sports event.
