Hi!
Today's update main feature is the addition of a new animal, the Goat!
We're also adding plenty of new items in many different categories, as well as a number of quality of life improvements and bugfixes, so make sure to check out the patch notes!
Today's Farm Showcase: "Thank you for this cute dress!" by Lydia

Improvements:
- When placing crops on non-plowed land, the character will plow land without the need of cancelling placement, plowing and reselecting the item again in the shop.
- Improved overall CPU performance of big animal fields.
- Quests now have an icon telling their length.
- Number of items planted of something is shown on the shop window.
- Maximum allowed guest permissions for farms has been changed to "Plant".
- Reduced a bit the duration of the vehicle work animation (it was longer than initially intended).
Gameplay changes:
- Added a new quest for farms over level 20. The quest length has been changed a bit, the short ones should be obtainable in a single session.
- New quests will reward more Medals depending on the farm level.
- Changed the flower system: Now flowers will not stop growing if they run out of water, instead they will always take the same time to grow and the money earned will depend on how much time they had water. The minimum money they yield has also been increased.
- Adjusted experience values of some items.
- Farm visitors will now increase their boost meter by feeding animals or planting Quest crops (only crops).
Bugfixes:
- Character will no longer "walk in place" when performing a series of consecutive tasks.
- Fixed Map not working properly when using a gamepad.
- Fixed fence highlight being rotated wrong when moving them under specific circumstances
- Fixed being unable to sort items in the shop window when using a gamepad (by changing the Sort button).
- Fixed skybox issues in Photo mode.
- Fixed feeders not working properly upon farm load.
- Fixed being able to grant Full permissions to Guests on the Pause menu.
- Fixed steps on water being quieter than on land.
We also wanted to let you know that we're working on allowing bigger farms in the near future (probably 5x5 plots instead of 5x3 as it's now), as well as other major features that will still take a long time to be complete.
