You may have to add a location that the player can fill in. You may be able to use the player's IP address to determine it Won't necessarily be accurate if a player is protecting the IP or behind a VPN.

1893 Posts	Link to post - Posted July 7th at 9:58 AM Flybaby Hi Nick. Just wondering if you've had a chance yet to look into making the Strongman Strength Game interactive for visitors to our ranch. It is currently interactive for us on our own ranch but not for visitors. A few things such as Trampolines, Whack-a-nate game, and the Catapult are interactive for us and our visitors so I am hoping that its possible to do the same with the strongman Strength Game. Thanks for all you do! Flybaby

How about being able to buy past years items at a premium using the tokens say double or triple new item cost I see the appeal of this suggestion! Were we to do something like this, we'd likely limit how many past items you could buy for Celebration Tokens. I've noted it down to consider.

Currently we're leaving the Flungeon in Flux 20.0, but may add a 21.0 version in a future update with some new rewards.

Since trading or gifting pet eggs with other bush whackers appears to be difficult to arrange, how about we sell or trade them back? It's on our list to consider selling or exchanging them for something else of value, likely to do with Pets. I liked this for the proposed Zoo update, but we might instead work it into something else. It's on my mind though!

I think we're pretty set on Bushwhackia having the same seasons as in the northern hemisphere for now. Perhaps if we add content go south enough we'll hit a south pole and can have a region aligned with the southern hemisphere though!

I've noted it down to consider for the haunted mansion screenshot contest later this year. 2) I'll consider having the flags quest start earlier next time. 3) More plants are always welcome! I'll note this down to consider, thanks.

I haven't recently, and usually do when I'm putting together a Quality of Life update list. I'll take a look when I get a chance.
