Your Favourite Things

We'd like to introduce a new feature: Inventory Favouriting! This feature has been long overdue, particularly since there's been hundreds of various mounts, pets, trinkets, and custom items to sort through.

Here's how it works: When you choose an item in your inventory to change, say your hat, the list will pop up like normal, but with one small change. On the top left of the list you'll see a star. You can click this star to toggle "favouriting mode" on and off. Favouriting mode will show stars next to every item in the list, which you can click to either add it or remove it from your favourites for that inventory category.

Please note the following:
- You cannot equip an item from the list while in favouriting mode
- Changing the filter or closing the list while in favouriting mode will still update your favourites
- You can only favourite a maximum of 100 items per list

Also, there's a new filter for these inventory types called "Favourites" which, as you might guess, puts your favourite items at the front of the list. We've set "Favourites" as the default filter when you open up these lists for convenience.

That's it! Now pop open your inventory and mark your favourite things!

Are you ready to start growing? Plant splicing is now available in-game! Make your favourite crops produce more or grow faster by creating a Plant Splicing Station for your ranch!

As of the update today, players who have bought all of their ranch expansion regions can start a new quest by talking to Farmer MacDonald, who has decided he wants to help you explore the world of plant splicing. The reward? Your very own Plant Splicing Station!

Once you have the station, harvesting crops on your ranch will start counting towards Crop Research Goals. Each crop has a certain number of harvests (of that crop) that you must do before you can try to level it up. Once you reach the Research Goal you can begin to research an upgrade for that crop. This research will take time, and will be more difficult and time consuming based on the crop's level. When the research is complete, you’ll either have successfully leveled up the crop (increasing its production or decreasing its growing time) or you’ll get a boost to your success chance and can try again. Each level will take more harvests of the crop to meets its research goal and the max level of each crop is 10, at which point the crop will, on average, be about 20% better.

While researching a crop, harvests of that crop won't count towards its next level research goal, but you can still harvest different types of crops to start working on their goals.

There are also a variety of new achievements for dedicated Plant Splicers, some of which come with exciting titles.

Happy farming!

FAQ:

Can I research rare seeds, like Magic Beans, Super Blueberries, or Mushrooms?

- No, those plants cannot be researched. Only normal fruit and vegetable crops can be modified using the Plant Splicing Station.
