Ranchers,

This update focuses on fixes and improved reliability across cattle transfers, cowboy travel, settlements, saves, and railroad management.

COWBOYS AND CATTLE

  • The post-task destination option is now also available when sending cattle from the Cow Pen to a pasture. For each cowboy, you can choose whether they remain at the destination or return to the Household.

  • Fixed situations where cowboys could become stuck or report reaching their destination too early.

  • Cowboys should now retry interrupted journeys and recover safely if they cannot continue along their route.

  • Cowboy horses now retain their coat colors after loading a saved game.

SETTLEMENTS AND RAILROAD

  • Rebalanced the railroad company’s income and operating costs.

  • The bank holding railroad shares is now correctly identified as the Redstone Ridge Bank.

OTHER FIXES

  • Corrected the text indicating whether a cow is available for sale.

  • Fixed a rare crash that could occur on some systems while settlement objects were being loaded.
