Following the release of version 1.0 and our transition out of Early Access, we’ve continued working on improving core systems based on player feedback and real gameplay usage. This update focuses on refining employee roles, improving controller handling, and fixing a control issue related to fishing.

Even after leaving Early Access, we remain committed to polishing the experience and addressing issues that affect day-to-day gameplay.

Here’s what’s included in this post-1.0 update:

1. Employee Role Adjustment: Maintenance and Machine Worker

We have updated how employee jobs are structured to better reflect their responsibilities.

Tasks related to producing Fertilizer and Animal Feed using production tools have been moved from the Maintenance role to the Machine Worker role. This change ensures that maintenance employees can stay focused on tasks such as cleaning animal pens and clearing old plants, without being interrupted by production work.

In addition, the role previously named Commodity Machine Worker has been renamed to Machine Worker. This better represents the actual scope of the job, as Machine Workers are responsible for handling all types of machines, not just commodity production tools.

2. Improved Controller System Support

The controller system has been updated to better support multiple input devices at the same time.

  • Controllers can now be used alongside keyboard and mouse without conflicts. • Issues caused by DualShock gyro input interfering with controls have been resolved. • Keyboard and mouse input will no longer be locked when a controller is still connected.

This should result in a smoother and more flexible control experience, especially for players who switch between input devices.

3. Fixed Fishing Control Freeze

We fixed an issue where player controls could become locked during fishing.

In certain situations, the fishing state could be duplicated, causing the player to lose control input while fishing. This has now been resolved, and fishing interactions should behave normally without freezing player movement or actions.

Thank you for continuing to support Ranch Farm and Store Simulator after the 1.0 release. Your feedback remains invaluable as we move forward with future improvements and updates.

We hope this update makes your ranching experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Happy Holidays, and happy ranching! 😀🐄🐓
