Bunhouse – Ver. 1.6.0 (Barbecue Update)

• Release date: TBA
• Patch notes:

ADDED: Fruit is now throwable

• By pressing the action button while holding a piece of fruit (grown from fruit trees), you can launch that sucker straight ahead
• Hitting other buns causes an impact similar to hopping into them
• Thrown fruit is destroyed and can no longer be sold
• Perhaps you could create a paintball-like course outside your greenhouse and fight buno-e-buno.
• Perhaps you can annoy your fellow bun who is doing yoga. Anything is possible now that your bun can throw a peach

ADDED: New item – Auto Propagator

• Costs 1000 carrots
• The Auto Propagator is a mechanical arm that will automatically propagate plants in a certain area
• Any applicable plant will be propagated indefinitely and its seeds will be stored within the propagator itself
• The base of the propagator will turn green when it is storing at least one seed and will be red
• otherwise
• Pressing the ‘Use’ button on the propagator will pull one of its gathered seeds
• The area of effect is about the size of a large sprinkler
• Can be combined with the new upgrade to propagate shiny plants and store their shiny seeds
• Unlocked by purchasing the Pocket Clippers upgrade

ADDED: New item – Carrot Dog

• Created at the new grill item
• Can be consumed
• Makes buns sluggish
• Sluggish status effect lasts for thirty seconds

ADDED: New item – Grill

• Costs 250 carrots
• Allows buns to grill Carrot Dogs (ya know, like hot dogs only they’re carrots)
• After interacting with the grill once, a bun will spend one carrot and place it on the grill, causing smoke to rise
• Interacting with the grill again will take the carrot
• A carrot can be undercooked, cooked perfectly, or overcooked. Only if a carrot is cooked perfectly will the bun produce a carrot dog
• Keep an eye on subtle changes in the smoke to determine if your carrot is cooked
• Unlocked by catching a Salmon

ADDED: New hat – Chef

• Unlocked by grilling a perfect carrot

ADDED: New plant – String Of Pearls

• Unlocked by growing a Common Lady Fern to its maximum level
• Can grow to its maximum size in a small hanging pot (was visually designed for the smaller pot as well so some clipping may occur if you put it in a medium hanging pot)
• Shares many stats with a Ceratostema Rauhii, making it quite valuable
• Has a slower in-game recuperation rate than other plants because mine always seem to struggle in real life
• Can produce a shiny

ADDED: New plant – Foxglove

• Unlocked by growing an orchid to its maximum level
• Similar stats to a Purple Lupine Flower
• Only produces flowers at its final stage
• Can be desired by bees
• Can produce a shiny

ADDED: New fish – Salmon

• Potentially biggest fish in the game (minus the secret fish, of course)

ADDED: New upgrade – More Land

• Costs 5000 carrots
• Automatically unlocked
• Increase your plot of useable land by expanding more toward the river

ADDED: New upgrade – Shiny parents

• Costs 25,000 carrots
• Unlocked by purchasing the Pocket clippers upgrade
• After purchasing this upgrade, any time you propagate a shiny plant, the seed will be guaranteed to be shiny as well

ADDED: Sound effect for picking up watering can
ADDED: Additional watering sound effect for when you’re actually watering a plant (vs. just dumping water on the ground)
ADDED: Sound effect for saving game
CHANGED: All plants take 50% longer to grow
CHANGED: Increased base bunny movement speed by 10%
CHANGED: Lowered sound of crate opening noise (to be more consistent with the rest of the audio mix)
CHANGED: Increased volume of sound for setting down objects
CHANGED: Slightly lowered the max time between background music songs
CHANGED: Sound effect for using watering can
CHANGED: Other random audio balancing
CHANGED: Altered foliage texture to get more even lighting (will be more apparent in console builds)
CHANGED: Adjusted some collisions near the river
CHANGED: Reformatted ivy texture for more realistic deviations of color
CHANGED: Miscellaneous optimizations to reduce draw calls
CHANGED: Made bunnies cuter
FIXED BUG: Using the mini plantipedia while using the watering can causes the watering can to continually output water even after being set down
FIXED BUG: Bun can propagate a plant while picking it up, causing the new seed to be permanently attached to bun until reloading the game
FIXED BUG: Switching from fishing to rowing while having a fish you caught doesn’t remove the prompt “send fish to aquarium”
FIXED BUG: Misspelled ‘propagate’ in Pocket Clippers upgrade description
FIXED BUG: Ivy color glitch at top of greenhouse
FIXED BUG: Rare bug where trash can couldn’t be utilized properly
