Build Anywhere Update Out Now | Progression Reset

[Ambreon]

Hey ranchers!

The Build Anywhere update is now live! Full details and patch notes are available here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1119730/eventcomments/5452154443637037662/

We are incredibly grateful for all of your support and feedback so far. It is what’s great about Early Access: you help to shape the future of the game, including core gameplay.

The goal with Ranch Simulator is to let you run your ranch how you want to. And so it makes absolute sense that the most requested feature has been to able to build facilities where you please.

We listened and are excited to reveal that in the latest update we've added the ability to build the likes of coops and fences wherever you like on your Ranch! This gives you much more freedom to run your ranch how you want to.

IMPORTANT: Progression/Save Reset

The build anywhere update unfortunately causes old saves to no longer work, meaning you will lose all of your progress before this update.

Why is Progression Being Reset?

Allowing you to build facilities wherever you choose is a major core, fundamental change to the game – meaning that old save files are no longer be compatible.

We very much understand how frustrating it is to lose your progress in a game, and it’s an unfortunate side effect that many Early Access games run into.

We believe that this update is a substantial step forward for the game fundamentals, and we hope that you feel the same.

Will Progression Resets Happen Again in the Future?

We can’t rule it out. We are committed to improving and expanding the game with new content throughout Early Access, and this may unfortunately result in further progression resets in the future.


Thank you all so much for playing and supporting Ranch Simulator, and for offering your thoughts and feedback. We will of course continue to listen to your thoughts, feedback and suggestions.

Happy ranching!

Would also be nice to have a bunk house if we could hire help. And tear down all buildings to build new or refurbish the old ones.

We currently have no plans for trees respawning, but it's on our suggestions list to allow for the replantation of trees

Replantation is more realistic. Trees don't respawn in nature either. Great work !!

They may not respawn on their own in nature irl but that would be closer to what they actually do than it taking a person to replant them. They shed their seeds and either they fall to the ground and sprout new seedlings on their own or animals or birds do the deed for them by carrying their seeds elsewhere and that's how more often than not how new trees come about. That's actually closer to respawning on their own than it is a person replanting them. Not that that doesn't happen irl as well. Just not how the majority of trees come about is all.

Is it just me or is the TAB key not working? I cannot get the Action Wheel to appear to remove my first obstacle, the mattress. I'm stuck here without enabling the wheel. Please help. Everybody gets a Developer response but my question? I feel left out. I can't even spark up a moderator,. I eill most likely like this game but right now I am ready to ask for my money back?

Would it be possible to hire help on your ranch or have a family?

We currently have no plans for NPC help on the Ranch - if you're looking to find someone to play multiplayer with there's a bunch of friendly players over on our Discord that can help you out! https://discord.gg/ez2YsKP

This is your first time replying to this thread, I try to respond to everyone!
Firstly could you test that your tab key works? If it does, can you rebind your Action Wheel in the settings to another key (not already in use) and test if that works - note that you need to hold the key down to get the wheel to appear, and continue to hold it until you've selected your action.
Any further questions or support, please send an email to [e-mail] with an explanation of your issue and what you've already tried to do in attempt to fix it. It'll be easier for us to help you via email than here. Thanks!

True, but for a tree to grow it takes years. IRL you would take out wildgrowing trees, and plant them where you want them to grow. So a sudden respawn, no, not realistic

They could always program the new trees to spawn over time as well and start as saplings. No one ever said they had to respawn as full grown trees.

Probably be too complicated a formula to look at total trees in game (if they even have a stat for them to begin with, which I doubt) and have them respawn at a certain rate per day regardless of how many trees one may be cutting down.

So, for example, say there are 10,000 trees in the game when starting a new game, let's just say only 10 will respawn a day until that 10,000 has again been reached. Even then, they will respawn as saplings wherever randomly.

I only say this because by the time they add everything they are going to add to the game, there won't be enough time in the day to do everything one would be able to do and still plant trees on top of it. Even if they extend the day cycle like so many are requesting due to running out of time each day as it is already.

Then again, I'm sure you'll have your others who will want to plant more than ten trees at a time each day too.

Just food for thought anyway.
