Great Update. I love those chroma packs ;D. The speed property on the corral upgrade Auto-Feeder is a blessing. Thanks a lot for that. This is a prove that Monomi Park does hear the community wishes... THIS IS NOT OBVIOUSLY... so thanks for that. The visual enhancements of the ranch are great and looks really good. Keep it up!

the lab's upgrade seems really lackluster compared to everything else. just a new gateway and paths. there's still junk everywhere, the barn is still a shell, and the wooden gate that leads to the path to the actual zone purchase machine still looks pretty run-down compared to everything else. btw, has anyone found the treasure pod with echo nets yet? can i get a hint of if it's in the upper or lower levels?

btw are gordo snares supposed to always give the slime that favors the bait you put? or can it randomly be another that eats it if you're unlucky? i just tried one with a mint mango and one with an oca oca- both attracted pink slimes.

I have recently put 2 gordo snares in The Docks. One with a Phase Lemon and another one with a Ood Onion. On the Phase lemon Gordo Snare i got a Phosphor gordo and on the Ood Onion Gordo Snare i got a Pink Gordo.

Basically i have no clue too... ;)

i guess it's luck based then. i used an odd onion and roostro in a couple and got the hunter and crystals i wanted. btw, you can pick up a gordo and get the snare back if you get the wrong one. it's probably a bug, but useful to know until it gets fixed lol. though i'm tempted to feed them partially just to get them bigger. popping them is a great way to get loads of slimes without leaving your ranch lol. makes getting hunters for the range exchange a lot easier. xP provided you have the food to burn- which i do.

Unrelated to all that's going on, but why is the Dev Roadmap not updated?! Much of the content is already in-game!
I like puddle slimes. They are cute.

They can sometimes fail, giving you a pink gordo, and the failure ratę depends on how good your snares are. The novice ones gave me pink gordos ~70% of the time.

Steam achievements haven't been added for the 3 new ones. In-game they work fine, but they aren't implemented in steam yet.

I'm so excited about this update! The house updates, and the toys, and dang it's so good. I already filled the Docks with beautiful puddle slimes and duckies. Though the letter exchange with Casey made me really uncomfortable.

I knew Bea is her own character, but it always just felt like just me playing. So it was really jarring to have a weird overly invested ex suddenly retconned into my life. I did like how the letters described the year long sleep it took to get to the Far Far Range.

I also like the little info snippets left by the previous owner. Though some were odd...like the falling in love one.

I don't mind romance in general, but it'd be nice to have a choice instead of being forced to read some stuff or get random unsolicited advice from a placard.
Whee! Whoa! Woo hoo!

I'm really enjoying the little notes left by Hobson. And an interesting detail (I won't say where if you haven't found it) is most of them are just "to whom it may concern" kind of notes and comments, but at least one of them speaks to Bea by name. If he "disappeared" before she bought the ranch, how would he know her? Hmmm...

Someone on the subreddit said kind of where it is. I searched for it and found it.

I think the journals you find in the world should stop displaying that hologram above it if you've already read it.

Plus, they should be numbered, and there should be a screen where you can see what ones you've found and how many you have left, and maybe read the ones you've found instead of going back to where they were.

I like most of the update!

But WHAT is with Casey? He's like that creepy guy that wouldn't date you, but kept trying to keep you around as a fallback date. I'm getting icky memories of high school.

It's a cute game with happy bouncy slimes and suddenly it's angst-dude that stole a cactus from your shop after you left? It's weird, creepy, and doesn't fit the tone of the rest of the game. What about happy letters from Mom asking how she's doing or something?

I wouldn't mind feel-good letters from Mom, because it fits better with the rest of the game.

So is there a surefire way of knowing when the snares will catch something, I've had a snare with 12 or so stony hens sitting at my ranch for several days now and its got nothing.

I just learned that if you have puddle slimes in 2 ponds next to each other, and you put a rubber ducky in one of them, all the slimes will jump from one pond to the other to play with it.
