HI Nick,

I just want to say thank you for all the great QoL updates. They are the best and certainly help make the game even more enjoyable.

I love the Costume set previews, Winter trees and Palm trees, mannequin hairstyles and so many more.

Thanks for your hard work in making us bushwhackers happy. We don't say it often enough!

Echoing Flybaby. Thanks for all you guys do to improve the game and listening to community feedback!

Loved the QoL slots update. 2x slot bets is something I didn't know I needed!

Hoping you guys will consider increasing the chance of rarer rewards in the Flux or the Halflight Haven/Mer-miner's Quarters Tunnels than just gems/xp/gold.

"I like that headcanon about the secret admirer quest! I'll note it down to consider incorporating for next year."
Yay!!

"I could consider making the Rainbow Elven Hair available in hairstyles. It wouldn't function for some hats though is the problem (the hats that change your hair to fit the hat). But if you folks don't mind that, I'll reconsider."

Yes please! The Elven Hair could work like the Pink Hairstyle or the Rainbow Hairstyle.
>If wearing a clip/hat that just sits on top of the hairstyle, the Elven Hair will show.
>If wearing a hat with a set hairstyle, it just changes to the current hair color you customized your character to.

"A search bar for the general inventory would be handy! We've talked about it when folks bring up adding more tabs, which there isn't space for. I'll keep it in mind for future updates! Soon, all things will have search bars mwahahaha!"

>:D
With an ever growing inventory, + collectathon BW2 style, we need search bars more than ever!

Hope to see a costume randomizer too some day.

"72 hour crops are on our requests list to consider for future crops. I do see the appeal for a big 3 day weekend."
Great!
Also loved, loved, loved the Easter egg candy seeds! Hope to see more events with special crops as rewards!

For Mounts could we get an option to pick which Mount we want to release like when releasing a pet instead of releasing the mount we currently have equipped?

Thank you for the Spring Pet sale! I excitedly bought the Busheen pet (so punny XD). Another cute pet to level up! But why oh why doesn't Busheen perpetually bob up and down cutely like the real Pusheen? D:
Would it be possible to update the animation or if there's another Busheen pet that moves I guess I'll wait for that one.

Would it be possible to complete crop research for gold as well as bush bucks? I am talking about large amounts of gold, i.e., ten million for an immediate finish at the 10% chance, or even ten million to get the odds up 10% at a time.

Nick, please tell Georgia how beautiful her birds from Ye Rare Bird Aviary are. I got the Painted Bunting because I'm obsessed with gathering puzzle pieces right now, but I hope we will have a chance to collect them all in future years. Thank you, Nick, Georgia, and whoever else worked on this event!

For the Corralling the Passengers quest in the Halflight Haven tunnels, shant (I shant keep him waiting) should be spelled shan't. It is a contraction of shall not, I believe. edited: I just looked it up. Shan't, not shant.

Thank you for the follow-ups on our previous comments from the last Q&A. I'll update my notes as needed!

Glad you liked the Easter Eggplants this past Easter mini-event. We'll consider more special event crops like that!

Yes, a pop-up to more easily choose which mount you're releasing is on our list. Maybe we can try tackling that for the next QoL update.

Haha, Busheen is one of my favourites too! Glad you were able to get it. Georgia could add a bobbing animation for it, but unfortunately that's not a priority at the moment. If there's strong enough sentiment from other players as well, we could consider it! I agree it would be more true to Pusheen.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions!

I total understand the appeal of spending Gold to speed up things like Bush Bucks do. However, aside from the development cost of supporting multiple currencies for those options, we intentionally reserve Bush Bucks for these actions, often regarding speeding up times, as a convenience offered to those who financially support the game. I'm not keen to undermine that benefit by allowing that with in-game currency, even at such high costs.

Great catch! I'll update references of shant to shan't, as you recommend. Thanks for letting me know.
