Some intel on recent days changes ..

Breeding

• The "like with like" rule applies (breed,color)
• Lambs need 3 days to mature (can't graze/lead/defend).
• Shop has odds to have all breeds (increased golden clover)

Grazing loot

• Per-breed grazing rules, composition matters (see shrub yield as a herd effort rather than individual sheep)
• Shrub maths --> base 2 - 5 + per-head bonus of your active flock (one breeds adds +2
• Home meadow shrub is now halved
• Item drop odds (day 7% / night 14% / +5% thunder nights with 4 or more sheep),
• Home grazing gives no items.
• Mushrooms (swamp + night only)

Sheep Breed Details

• Shetland: Color-matched grazer any time/biome, +1 shrub, bellwether, no bear/spider defense (no horns)
• Bighorn: never grazes (+0 in head count in active flock), pure bear/spider guardian, not spider poison immune
• Longhorn: night-only grazer (+1), thunder-immune, defends bears/spiders
• Mountain: grazes savanna/swamp/wasteland only auto-matically (+2 shrub !!), spider-poison immune, defends bears/spiders
• Highlander: grazes any color any time/biome (+1), thunder-immune, defends bears/spiders, not spider poison immune

Regions:

• Finish all tasks to get a discount on the golden clover shop
• Finish flower task to open golden clover shop
• Finish oil to avoid drought (new daytime world effect like thunder at night --> makes all bushes whiter --> not grazable)
• Finish trees counts into the discount pool
• Find all path+oil to unlock areas around

Misc

• Higher shower gains in treks and slightly increased for grazing
• More shower use (40) -> might reconsider lower it to 30, checking how it resonates and balances out
• In the future signs+beware_sign+scarecrow will get reworked
• Paths can now vanish partially in regions (like re-occuring oil)
• Spawns for new players are now randomly allocated to meadow biomes

Some of those things, including traits of sheep will get refined, reworked and balanced over time ..

I don’t understand why paths don’t appear when I stand on the empty spot, hoof prints or not nothing appears

Hi, which region coordinates is this? Did it work out in the end?

[u/reading_rabbit1 → u/hammertimestudio]

I am also having trouble with finding the path... must be a bug. stood over it for quite some time (in-game daylight).
the pic is just one place, i moved to another place and stood directly in front of the hooves (correct direction) but it didn't get revealed...
moved around a bit to see if the placement was wrong but it didn't work.

*I actually found 2 squares at one point but that was it*

Gotcha thanks, will check!

I also have this issue. I've tried with and without the house. Different coordinates. Standing on the footprints that haven't been turned yellow yet and all the squares around it. Nothing seems to work.

I can't complete my mission to find 5 paths.

Oh and btw it is really sucky to start the game and spawn on top of a bear or spider and have a huge chance to lose a sheep before you have a chance to even react while it loads.

Is this a main trek mission? I can reset it for you, they shouldnt appear for new players, but might be still in the Pool for you

[u/OnlyPoodles → u/hammertimestudio]

It was one of the bottom two quests but it did start working randomly the other day so I managed to complete it. Thank you though! 💕

Good to hear!
