NEW! Scrap Yard & Bug Fixes

6/05/2023 1:50 pm

Happy Monday!

 

If you’ve seen the developer log, you can see we’ve been busy actively fixing bugs and making small changes to the game. Check it out below!

πŸš‚ NEW! Scrap Yard

Some of the locals have gotten fed up with their overabundance of items just sitting in their inventories. After some deliberation, they decided to start tossing items into the scrap yard closer to the railyard. RAIL left the scrap yard years ago and had never cleaned it up, thus it’s the perfect place to toss anything you don’t want! Now, we at the capitol don’t advocate for randomly tossing items in real life all willy-nilly, but when it comes to items in HoFa sometimes it’s easier to just yeet stuff into the void. 

 

You can toss items from your Storage Room by clicking the item you want to “Use” and either clicking “Discard All” or selecting a single item to “Discard”. In the scrap yard, you can find an assortment of items others have tossed by rummaging through the pile. Each search action takes 5% energy and auto-picks up items once found.

 

All items that have been tossed can not be recovered by anyone so be certain you want to toss items!

🏦 Bank Transactions

After reviewing the number of bank transactions for players, we realized that some have over 100,000 transactions over a month’s time. Because of this, we’ll be reducing the time bank transactions are shown from 1 month to the past 50,000 transactions. If you have less than 50,000 transactions, all will show from the past month like normal.

 

This fixes bug #1037.

βš’οΈ Small Tweaks

  • The date shown for a bug report is now when it was last active instead of when it was created. This is updated whenever the status changes or a new comment is made.
  • You can no longer select a tab if a horse isn’t boarded. This already doesn’t save without a horse being boarded so this avoids confusion.
  • Horses no longer have to be boarded in mass actions to have a discipline or career set or to be put up for sale.
  • Removing horses from shows are now taken into account in the estate overview earnings statement. 

🦟 Bug Squashes

  • Bug #947 - Fixed an issue where white halter and grey dye were showing up in the encrusting tab in the craft room.
  • Bug #994 - The percentage in the list of campaigns should now match the one on the campaign page.
  • Bug #1042 and bug #778 - There should no longer be an issue with paging through horses on your stable page if there are multiple tabs open.
  • Bug #316 - Registry date sorting now works.
  • Bug #922 and bug #946 - Horse auctions will now sort correctly by breed.
  • Bug #1028 - Fixed link to create a new auction from the My Auctions tab.
  • Bug #863 and bug #932 - The stud market now sorts appropriately.
  • Bug #426 - The bug box and developer log now sorts appropriately.
  • Bug #844 - Sooty is now layered in the right order for horse images.
  • Bug #968 - Dun should now show for non-black bases in the Design Lab.
  • Bug #535 - You should now be able to view all of your bank transactions for both levels.
  • Bug #1003 - The My Auctions tab is now properly paginated so you should be able to see all of your auctions.
  • Bug #1044 - An issue with inheriting the predictability trait has been fixed.
  • Bug #602 - Horses with W3, W5, and W15 now show greying if they have the grey gene.
  • Bug #875 - Personality tests should now charge correctly.

 

Note: As we’re going through bugs, we may mark a bug as “Fixed” or “Not a Bug” if we can no longer replicate it. If this happens to you but you’re still experiencing the bug, please make a new report with some current examples.

 

πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰This brings us to less than 50 reported bugs in the game! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

I've noticed it also has a MUCH lower "find" rate than the dark horse mine (or is that just me?). I don't have a problem with that, I think it'll be more exciting when I *finally* find something in there. I do agree with Rhodonite's suggestion for altering the 'found nothing' messages, though.

Dark mine example I just ran into:

 

Someone must have gotten here first, nothing is left to collect.

 

So, the Scrap Yard is similar to the Dark Mine where in fact it shows there is nothing left to collect. Albeit the Scrap Yard actually shows items to be found and Dark Mine does not. You know stuff is there.

A lot of times I find nothing in the mines or scrap yard, so seems pretty similar to me. And lets think about it, theres only as much in the scrap yard as we put in it. With probably hundreds of us hunting throughout the day vs what is put in...

Still like the scrap yard, BUT it definitely doesn't make sense to use all your energy and get next to nothing in return, especially, as of times like now, there are over 12k items in the scrap yard. I used almost all my current energy and got nothing to show

Don't mind me... I'm over here thinking...

I spent an energy bar in the Dark Mine and only saw 1 encounter that stated there's nothing in the mine, the one DustyAngel mentioned. Otherwise, it tells you to keep searching, go deeper, or it's just a fun encounter like crickets or fish. 

 

The find rate does seem lower with the scrap yard. Though the mine has bits and ingots, so maybe the overall chance of finding something is higher, but chance of finding an item seems about the same to me.
