Q&A 175 - March 3rd, 2026
3729 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 2nd at 3:00 PM Last Edited March 3rd at 2:17 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Greetings Bush Whackers! The next developer forum Q&A begins Tuesday March 3rd at 1:00 - 1:30 PM Pacific 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.
86 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 2nd at 7:31 PM mlmcc52 I was busy during the last developer Q&A From the last session mlmcc52 During events we can buy past items for bush bucks. How about being able to use gold or event tokens at an increased rate. For example items for the birthday event cost 25 tokens. How about past items for 50 tokens. Nickshire (CNE Dev) I totally get the appeal of being able to get these past items for event tokens. The intention with them costing Bush Bucks is to really drive the reward of having gotten the items during the year they were in the main event store. That being said, I'll review this decision and consider your feedback. A further thought I get the reason for not allowing the purchase of past event items. How about for events before a user joined or if possible an event they totally missed for one reason or another. I have most (if not all) of the items for events I participated in but am missing some from 2012, 2013, and 2014 (after summer carnival). I bought some so I could wear the costume or carry the items for a later quest.

How about having a flower themed quest (for example one for May Day) and offer past floral cape, bouquets, garlands, etc. Or how about a Pirates of the Caribbean 20th anniversary in 2027 quest offering past swords?
89 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 9th at 1:13 AM Last Edited February 20th at 1:59 PM Nimblecraft Suggestion to favorite our friends and the first 5 favorited friends show up in a row at the bottom of the screen to the right of Invite Friend. It'd be a convenient way to quickly teleport to our most commonly visited neighbors for daily crop Helps. We have mounts that have a -gold odds bonus. Can we get Feed that increases that bonus? :) It's why I'm holding off on leveling the Glitch Propellant Pack for now. Could you guys make the event achievements rotate to the incomplete ones as you complete achievements when there's more than 6 achievements? I recently looked through my achievements list and saw I'm still missing "The Right Cat-itude" and "Call the Dogtor" from the Dog Days of Summer. I remember not seeing those when I completed all the achievements showing in the event popup menu. (Remind me in 6 months or so lol) Please give us more options to acquire Unique DNA whether by super ultra rare quest reward, quest rewards from the Coppers of the Creature Collector events, or even trading up DNA for Unique DNA.
1896 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 11th at 6:25 PM Flybaby Hi Nick, A couple of years ago you said you would consider suggestions for adding more items to the Botanist Vendor Store on Amicus. The following is my request from March 2023 that I hope you will take another look at. Right now we can purchase Spring and Autumn trees from the Botanist, and Summer trees from the store, but Winter trees are not available for purchase. Could you please consider the option to let us purchase the special trees associated with the Season/Holiday themes so we can place them wherever we want, “without” having to use the associated theme skin? Suggested Trees Special Palm trees from the Jungle (3) and Beach Themes (2) Special Winter trees from the Winter (3) and Christmas themes (3) You could even make it a requirement to purchase the Themes before making the trees available to purchase from the store. Thank you for your consideration.

I bought some so I could wear the costume or carry the items for a later quest. That distinction does consider the intention behind the Bush Buck cost! I don't mind that. Unfortunately implementing this suggestion isn't trivial, as each store item would have to be updated with the dates they were available, and some code written to compare that against the player's start date. I've updated this suggestion with these details for us to consider in future updates.

Those are fun themes! A lot of the past costume items are offered in event stores. I imagine floral pieces are spread out between the Spring Garden, Valentines, and Easters event stores. Swords would be all over the place, but we've had a tendency to add some you might not see again to the Pawn Stars merchant on Amicus Isle. All the same, I've noted your suggestions down for us to consider.

Favouriting friends has been requested before! I'll review our notes on the suggestion and update it as necessary. I can certainly see the use! The -Gold Bonus is an odd one. It's already on our list to consider adding an associated level-up bonus and feed for it. Having the holiday dialog highlight incomplete achievements would be nice! Perhaps even allowing you to scroll there to see the full list, or event having a button to view all the achievements. I've noted this down for us to consider. DNA is intentionally rare. You may be aware of these, but I'll mention them for everyone's benefit anyways: The easiest way to get it is to release premium pets. There's a good chunk of Unique DNA rewards in the Pet Progress collection rewards. After that, leveling up a basic or event pet to level 40 before releasing has a chance to award Unique DNA as well. That being said, I'll consider re-evaluating the availability of Unique DNA.

This would be quite handy! And a toggle sounds like a great way to implement some of the other functions suggested, like a "Fishing Hole" overlay, or even "Adventures" and "Quest Hub" overlays. However, and as you suspect, it would be a somewhat involved change. I've noted this down for us to consider all the same.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Whackemon limited-time quest! Ariana did a great job with that one. I've noted your feedback, and we'll see about adding a sequel to it the next time it comes around.

We'll take a look at that mini golf piece for the next Quality of Life update. I appreciate you bringing that to our attention. 2) Looking at the data, there's 12 St. Patrick's mini golf pieces. There are 11 for Easter, 10 for Spring Garden, 11 for Halloween. I think those are close enough to parity. Here's the list of the St. Patrick's pieces, in case you missed some: Pot-o-gold Mini Golf Piece Cup Pyramid Mini Golf Piece Rainbow Road Mini Golf Piece Clover Mini Golf Piece Rainbow Boost Mini Golf Piece Beer Kegs Mini Golf Piece Coin Mini Golf Piece Leprechaun Mini Golf Piece Green Balloon Arches Mini Golf Piece Standing Stones Mini Golf Piece Paddy Wagon Mini Golf Piece
