Here are the update logs for Manjuu Rancher. But first, a quick and informative FAQ!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does happyness work?
A: Happyness is increased by decorating your plot with certain items. Happier yukkuris will poop more often, so more happyness = more manjuu = more money. Happyness inversely scales with the amount of yukkuris on your plot; so as your ranch gets more crowded, you’ll have to buy more items.
Q: How does the yukkudex work?
A: You can fill out your yukkudex by donating yukkuris. With each yukkuri you donate, the information related to that specific species will be filled out. For more information, visit the house next to the lighthouse.
Q: How do I get food?
A: There are fruit trees scattered through the main plot area and a food vendor in the middle. Yukkuris will only poop half-as-often once they get ‘hungry’ (as indicated by the red area in their individual menus), and will stop producing any manjuu at all once their hunger reaches zero.
Q: What is ESEN?
A: ESEN (aka essence) is used for enhancing yukkuris, which increases their manjuu value. The NPC who can do this is intentionally hidden, but I trust you’ll find him.
Q: Does rarity matter?
A: Yes, and no. Rarity affects a few things, but there are no insurmountable differences between yukkuris of different rarities. This isn’t supposed to be an RNG game, just use whoever you like the most!
Q: NO MOBILE SUPPORT?!? AAAIIIEEEEEE HELP ME BUILDERMAN!!
A: I understand that having mobile support is very important, but it is not one of my priorities at the moment. Still, if you play on mobile I am happy to receive bug reports or feedback from you.
Q: Can you add [CHARACTER]?
A: Maybe.
Q: Yukkuri Hunt update when???
A: Sorry.
Update Logs
View older update logs (reverse chronological order)
v1.0.6
- Slightly increased almost every item’s happyness bonus
- Added one new tycoon item
- Should have fixed yukkuris freezing in place
- License costs have - once again - gotten significantly more expensive. It was always my intention that the license upgrades would be the one thing that you actually had to grind for, and right now it doesn’t really feel like that.
- Fixed tools (mostly just the net) breaking after you die enough times
- Added a global manjuu leaderboard (found inside the HQ)
v1.0.5
- Tools (food) will save after death
- TEMPORARILY doubled the manjuu bag’s capacity to 16 until I add the shop
- Floors can now be placed under other tycoon items
- Fixed tycoon items being rotated incorrectly. Sorry if this messed up your plot!
- Slightly changed the build mode GUI to make it easier to use on mobile. This entire GUI sucks anyways and will eventually be replaced.
v1.0.4
- Yukkuris will now instantly eat from the trough once they’re hungry
- Yukkuris should no longer stop moving for long periods of time(?)
- You should not longer be able to pick up yukkuris while they’re anchored or “busy” (sleeping or running on the wheel, etc)
- Fixed dialog not appearing on mobile
- You can now rotate your plot around
- Spam clicking feed will no longer miraculously duplicate your food
- Nerfed bouncy castle
- Each time you hit a yukkuri during the capturing sequence (that sounds violent, whatever), +3 seconds will be added to the timer. This might later be nerfed or removed entirely; the time limit is supposed to be a part of the challenge.
- Wild yukkuris will now despawn after 5 minutes, regardless of whether or not a player is nearby
- Nerfed the XP gain rate (for yukkuri age). No, aging up still doesn’t actually do anything, NEXT UPDATE, I PROMISE!
- When placing down a tycoon item, it will initially be placed at the center of your screen instead of the center of the plot
- The happyness meter now updates in real time
- Some other small bugfixes
v1.0.3
- Emergency patch to fix an infinite money glitch
- I received a few complaints that the fence corners took up too much space and were awkward to use. So I removed them. The normal (straight) fence pieces have since been slightly offset so that they can be used to create corners.
- Probably some other bug fixes & stuff, but I forgot to write it down
v1.0.2
- Fixed yukkuri menu breaking on death
- Slightly increased default max stamina
- The happyness bonus from petting a yukkuri is now stronger and lasts for longer
- Tweaked some furniture happyness values
- Tweaked net to make mindless spamming less viable
- Decreased cost for upgrading yukkuris
- Added some expository dialog to Anvil Cat
- Increased yukkuri license costs
- Fixed yukkuri nicknames not working
- Various other bug fixes and small tweaks
v1.0.1
- Food items now stack
- Tweaked yukkuri happyness and some other stuff
- Various bug fixes. The first of many.
v1.0.0
- Release. I did write an update log for this, but there isn’t much point posting it.
