We’re thrilled to finally bring you the long-awaited rework of the farm part of your Horse Ranch this Thursday! To get you started on the right hoof, kick off your journey with a brand-new questline, alongside new daily quests, designed to guide you through all these exciting new features step-by-step. Additionally, here’s a handy quick-guide to everything coming in Part 1!

Power up your farm with the new Solar Panels! These supply the Green Energy you’ll need to build and upgrade everything on the farm, basically this farm’s version of residentials and workers. Meanwhile, the new Main Stable now passively generates the new Horse Power – just collect it whenever you like, as it holds up to a 24-hour capacity before capping out. Keep an eye out for even more ways to earn Horse Power in upcoming updates!

Building your farm takes the right materials! You’ll need a mix of Green Energy and General Construction Kits to build and upgrade everything across the farm. As your buildings reach higher levels, you’ll also need specialized kits for your Acres, Orchards, and Facilities.

Put that Horse Power to work! Head over to the Mine to extract Iron Ore, or collect Clay, Rocks, and Sand – no edgeplanting required here! Over in the Forest, you can spend Horse Power to gather Timber, or use Farm Dollars to get a Wood Bundle. The Wood Bundle contains everything previously found in Tree Stumps, which have now been removed. Depending on your previous Tree upgrades, your forest will already have a head start to get you right back on track.

Once you’ve gathered your raw resources, bring them over to the Refining Workshop! Here, you can process your Iron Ore into Nails and Iron Beams, while your Timber gets transformed into Wood Planks and Plywood.

Take those freshly refined materials straight to the Construction Workshop! This is where you’ll combine your processed goods to craft the vital Construction Kits required to build and expand everything on your ranch.

Visit the Ranch Workshop to produce temporary Booster Appearances, Boosters, and powerful Premium Boosters! You can craft Gardening Spades to boost your Pasture production output, or Hedge Clippers to give your Orchards a major bump. Looking ahead, we also plan to replace item production from the Saddler’s Workshop with boosters from the Ranch Workshop.

It’s time to tend the fields! You can now grow two brand-new crops on your Pasture: Asparagus and Artichokes. Harvesting these crops will allow you to produce Bison Feed and Alpaca Feed.

Put that new feed to good use! Treat your Bison and Alpacas to their favorite meals to produce Alpaca Fur and Bison Hair.

Plant new Huckleberry Orchards and Chestnut Orchards to start harvesting Huckleberries and Chestnuts! You can use your harvest to whip up delicious treats across your other farms:

Gourmet Farm (Bakery): Bake mouthwatering Chestnut Éclairs and Huckleberry Crumbles.
Flower Farm (Shop): Craft adorable Alpaca Plushies using Alpaca Fur.
Mermaid Bay: Brew savory Asparagus Soup.
Future updates will bring recipes for Bison Hair and Artichokes to other farms, and the clothing economy will get involved!

Plus, your familiar farm tools are fully supported: Produce Special Artichoke and Asparagus Seeds in the Nursery using breeding crop variants and water. The Silo, Composter, and Nursery work just like you’re used to on other farms. Use your regular Fertilizer on Orchards and Humus on Pasture fields like always!

And that’s it so far!

This is just Part 1 of 3! We can’t wait to hear all of your thoughts and feedback on these exciting new additions. Two more big updates are planned for the Horse Ranch, but until then, all other buildings and features like Horse Competitions, Horse Meadow, Horse Training, etc. are still available and work just the same as before. Thank you for your patience while we work hard on the next updates!
