Thank you for everything you've sent in over the playtest period ❤️. One message came through louder than the rest: being able to see the pressure is what made herding click. So this update keeps the radar for good, and carries on making the numbers on your sheep make sense.

The pressure radar stays on

• The red circle 🔴 around the farmer and your dog used to switch itself off after your first couple of round-ups. It now stays on for good, because it turned out to be the thing that makes herding readable rather than a lesson to grow out of.
• If you'd rather not see it, there's a Pressure radar tick box ☑️ in Settings, on the Gameplay tab. If you'd already switched it off, it stays off.

Numbers that explain themselves

• Hover a sheep's grade 🎗️ to see what it actually does: how it changes the sale price and the wool price, a ewe's chance of twins or a tup's chance of getting a ewe in lamb, and that lambs take after both parents. It works everywhere a grade shows: the sheep card, the flock and shed lists, the shearing queue and the market.
• Hover a stat in the Breed Guide to see what it means. Sale also shows the breed's base price, and Mothering its twin bonus. Stats show once you've owned the breed, as before.

Your flock

• A ewe who is still nursing lambs can't be sold any more. She stays with them until they're grown, and then she's yours to sell as usual. The Sell button tells you why when that's what's holding it up.

Hints

• The hint for moving the flock now tells you how: walk behind the sheep to push them.
• Once your first shear is done, if you spend a while at normal speed a hint reminds you about the Time Controls 🕰️. Spring to autumn is a quiet stretch between shears, and 2x and 3x are there for exactly that. The hint goes away for good the first time you speed up.

Fixes

• Sheep caught between a fence and your dog no longer vibrate on the spot.
• Making the game window bigger and then zooming right out no longer shows dark bands at the edges of the screen.
