Update April 22 - Step Up a Level With Your Horse!

Hello Farmers

Have you been showcasing your trained horses in the tournament challenges ever since a lot of new stuff was added to the Horse Ranch? Are all new buildings ready for production and is the Saddler’s Workshop running to craft all the powerful Horse equipment?

With this update, some of the production buildings will receive further expansions. In addition, more interesting features will be introduced in the Tournament Preparation Dialog.

Let’s make your horses shine!

New levels for the production buildings and trees

• All trees will receive three new levels to upgrade, so, in total, each tree has four-levels. For each upgrade level, there will be an increase in the number of items that you can produce at a time. All trees can be upgraded with the Horse crests or Gold.
• All the new production buildings will also receive three new levels to upgrade, so, in total, each building has four levels. For each upgrade level, there will be an increase in the number of items that you can produce at a time. Also, the initial production amount for the nine refinery products increased (e.g the level 1 Tannery will give 27 of the vegan mushroom leather instead of 18). All buildings can be upgraded with the Horse crests or Gold.
• Upgrading all the production buildings and trees takes place in the normal build-slot.
• Upgrading trees and production buildings (Tannery, Spinning mill, Dyeworks and Smelter) increases a storage limit for each product. Also, the initial storage limit of these production buildings increased.
• e.g Upgrading a hibiscus tree increases the storage limit for its own
• e.g Upgrading the Tannery increases the storage limit for all Tannery products.
• For trees and buildings, you have to upgrade while they are producing. However, once you start an upgrade, the running production will be stopped and you will be able to receive the number of items depending on the time passed.
• The initial cost for building a tree decreased. If you had already built trees before this update, the price difference between old and new prices will be paid back (It will most likely happen 2-3h after the update)
• Each price of selling the nine refinery products is rebalanced and lowered.

New Competitor equipment for the counterchallenge

As you know, if another player challenges you to a tournament, you can assign one of your horses beforehand and it will compete against one of your opponents. In the Tournament preparation tab, you can select which horse should be used in which discipline of your counterchallenge.

Tournament Preparation

This update will bring more exciting features to the Tournament preparation tab. Now, you can equip your horses with the new competitor equipment.

• There will be three fixed item slots per assigned horse.
• All items of the horse equipment for the counterchallenge are NOT consumable items.
• Each slot is occupied with a specific category of the horse equipment, like Head protectors, Headstalls and girths. In each category, there will be different kinds of items to select.
• Each item of the equipment grants you a set of 3 different positive effects on your horse values. You can check the effects of each item in the info panel of the competitor equipment.

The Competitor levels and Competitor experience points

There will be new stats, the Competitor level, for your horses that are assigned to the counterchallenge.

• By being challenged by your opponents, each challenge will grant you Competitor XPs and your horse can reach a higher Competitor level over time.
• The higher Competitor levels will boost the effects of the Competitor equipment.

The new production building - Smelter

You can now mine new raw materials, Copper and Tin ore, in the Mine on the Horse Ranch. Those ingredients can be processed in a new Production Building, the Smelter, where you can produce refinery items for improving the Horse equipment.

• Mine
  Copper ore and Tin ore can be harvested.
• Smelter
• Copper ingot, Tin ingot and Composite ingot can be produced with Copper Ore and Tin ore from the Mine.

Improving the Horse equipment in the Saddler’s workshop

In the Saddler’s workshop, there will be a new tab called Equipment improvements. Under it, you can craft rare Horse equipment by using common Horse equipment with other required ingredients. The premium horse equipment has an improved effect on your horse values. The Equipment improvements tab will be available from level 2 of the Saddler’s workshop.

Loyalty subscription activates more slots for the Horse equipment

As you know, Horse equipment has a unique storage limit, independent of the usual storage limit of your barns. If you want to store a greater variety of Horse equipment, the Loyalty subscription package will activate more slots for you!
