2025 Roadmap RevealedApr 14, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello Ranchers, We are very excited to reveal our plans for 2025, which include 3 updates spread over Summer, Fall, and Winter of 2025. EDIT: We've seen a few of you asking if the updates announced here will be released as paid DLC, so for clarity: these are upcoming game updates which will be released for free. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35446468/9be624e94f8017930fa11ef4e168cfe3f4e56f93.jpg In the Summer, sheep will arrive to Ranch Simulator. These heavily requested animals can be sheared for their wool or butchered for their meat. You'll also be able to breed them as with all livestock in the game. Later in the year during the Fall period, we will be adding a host of additional decoration and building items, enabling players to make their ranch feel more like a home. We will also be updating the in-game economy, in particular around the selling of goods. Adding systems which change prices based on supply and demand, making the in-game economy more engaging. For those who may need time to relax away from the ranch after a long day's work, we will be bring fishing to Ranch Simulator in Winter. Grab your rods and head down to the lake, chill out with friends and catch a few fish while you enjoy the sunset. As we approach each update, more details and dates will be shared. Keep an eye out for news and, as always, keep the feedback coming on the Steam forums and our Discord.27 March 2025 - Bug Fix PatchMar 27, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsRanch Simulator General Game Fixes: Addressed an issue where some animal navigation and behaviours were not triggering correctly on load Fixed a crash issue when constructing very large buildings and large quantity of blueprints have been placed Southwest Ranch & Farm Expansion Pack Fixes: Further fixes to the muscle car quest 28 Feb 2025 PatchFeb 28, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHi all, We have just released a new patch for Ranch Simulator.

See you then. Thanks, The Ranch Sim TeamCommunity Spotlight: ScreenshotsDec 18, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello ranchers, As 2024 comes to a close, we wanted to share just some of our favourite community screenshots. These are a selection of funny, pretty and frankly impressive screenshots, so make sure to scroll through and take a look. We also wanted to take this opportunity to encourage you all to read our previous announcement if you haven't already. While upgrading the engine last year did help resolve many long standing issues for many players, there have been some issues which have remained, as well as some new bugs encountered. When a game has been in development for over 6 years, and where there have been so many new features added, things can get complex to work on. So we are currently taking some time to look at how the game is constructed, and how we can potentially make some changes that will help improve the game experience. We are still in the experimental phase, and have no news to confirm just yet. We'll be in touch again when we have more to share. See you in 2025!

It's been a while since we last offered an update on our plans, so we wanted to share a quick status report with you today! We have seen the rumours that development has stopped, and I am happy to confirm that this is not true. Please rest assured that we are still working on Ranch Sim. Typically we work with the community to agree a set of features, announce a roadmap of updates, work on these features, and then repeat the process. Recently, it has become clear that the biggest issues people are having with the game these days relate to bugs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35446468/ffa6caacb2533426929eb09e085714733059bb1a.png While upgrading the engine last year did help resolve many long standing issues for many players, there have been some issues which have remained, as well as some new bugs encountered.

The Ranch Sim TeamOut Now: Horse Breeding and Tree Planting UpdateAug 15, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello ranchers, The horse and tree planting update is now available on the main branch, meaning it's available for all players! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35446468/e2554664da09fe0e3ce0f95874775192abf0faab.png Horse Breeding Horses can now be bred! A male and female horse will now naturally breed when placed together. After a few in-game days the foal will be born. Once fully grown it will inherit a mix of characteristics (stats) from the parents. Plus, who doesn't like baby horses? Too cute. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35446468/f7711d8c217a551dd6a279b8cca82faf4fe22ef6.png Tree Planting This update introduces the ability to plant and grow trees! To plant trees, you'll first need to buy a shovel from the hardware store. Once you have obtained the shovel, you can then purchase seedlings from the general store. At the ranch, you can select your shovel via the action wheel to prepare the ground (Press left click) for planting a seedling. Grab your seedling and then use E to plant it into the prepared ground. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35446468/845234a028d5a62238adb7198759a3e8cb08c921.jpg Log Trailer A new trailer is now available at the hardware store!

I write in front of a screen all day and often catch myself gazing out the window, wondering what my life would be like if I traded the sounds of my mechanical keyboard for blissful winds. While we keep dreaming, it's the escapism of games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Stardew Valley that provide our best alternative. Ranch Simulator brings that rural fantasy into one complete package, with livestock rearing, farming, hunting, and building combined into one neat open-world simulation game. Best of all, it's dirt cheap right now. Read the rest of the story...

We're excited to reveal what we've got planned for the first half of 2024. Coming Soon: Cats and Dogs Update Next Up: Quality of Life Update Followed by: Horse and Tree Update {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35446468/b0dfaceb09d4ff874deeda42fea18741fbe879a5.jpg First up is the Cats and Dogs Update, adding the much-anticipated furry friends to your ranch. We're also focusing on improvements to driving and steering, with alterations to suspension, centres of gravity and more. Last but not least, there will be further optimisations, bug fixes and improvements included in this update. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35446468/bb4509626453aac61a004cd1c0f2bf9f8c34027a.png Then, we'll be moving onto the Quality of Life Update - this will focus on community requested features which make playing the game a smoother experience. We'll be adding an autosave feature, and introducing the option to save and quit without the need to go to a bed and sleep in-game. You can also expect to be able to customise the colour of your coolers so you can transport your produce in style, plus light switches. Following that, we'll move onto the next update: we've heard you - you want to be able to chop more trees down! So we will be introducing a tree growth mechanic, as well as a trailer to transport logs, in the third planned update. We'll also be adding horse breeding. We can't wait to get these updates into your hands! Keep an eye out for news on update releases and as always, keep the feedback coming on the Steam forums and our Discord. Happy ranching!Thanks for a Great 2023!Dec 18, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey ranchers, As 2023 comes to a close, we wanted to say a big thank you for playing... and offer a little sneak peek at the highly anticipated cats and dogs update!
