Bunhouse
Bunhouse Version 1.4.0 Released - The Shiny Update
Now, you may luck into finding a super rare and differently colored version of the plants you already know and love :)
Check out the full changelog below and I hope you keep enjoying your wonderfully bunny paradise!
--------------------
Changelog 1.4.0
--------------------
ADDED: “Shiny” plants
- Every time you plant a seed in a pot for the first time there is now a rare chance (1%) for the plant to have special coloring
- Shiny plants are worth ten times more than normal plants
- Because they are hard to come by, make sure to keep them around and keep them happy - there is no way to get that shiny plant back if it dies, so you’ll have to hope for a new one!
- You can have infinitely many shinies (and even multiple of the same plant species)
- Inspecting a plant will show you it is shiny via a sparkle symbol in front of the plant name
- Shiny plants added:
- Aloe
- Calathea
- Ceratostema Rauhii
- Cilantro
- Fittonia
- Forget Me Not
- Hibiscus
- Lemon Button Fern
- Lily
- Lucky Bamboo
- Monstera
- Olive Tree
- Orchid
- Pilea
- Poppy
- Pothos
- Primula Parryi
- Purple Lupine
- Purple Oxalis
- Roses
- Sinningia Helleri
- Tradescantia Zebrina
- Umbrella Plant
ADDED: New Upgrade - Increase Shiny Chance
- Increases the chance of getting a shiny plant
- Costs 10,000 carrots
- Can purchase multiple times (up to three), adding one percentage point to the rarity of shiny plant spawns
- So, at max number of purchases, shiny chance becomes 4%
ADDED: New Upgrade - Boat Motor
- With this new upgrade, you can now cruise around your lake in style!
- Use the motor by holding A on xbox or space on keyboard
- Hold the oar buttons to turn (triggers on xbox or A/D on keyboard)
- Costs 1500 carrots
- When multiple buns are in a boat, only the bun nearest the motor can activate it, although the other bun can still turn with the oars
- Motor has no effect on fish spawning
- Added tutorial tip related to boat motor after purchasing
- Is extremely silly given the size of the lake
ADDED: Auto save function
- Automatically saves game every five minutes
- Enabled by default in new saves, disabled by default in old saves
- Can be disabled/enabled in settings
—--
CHANGED: Altered dig spot item spawn probabilities (rock is now a lot less common)
CHANGED: Made bunnies cuter
—--
FIXED BUG: Sometimes starting a new game and trying to skip the tutorial won’t work
FIXED BUG: Sometimes, when saving and starting a new game then re-loading the old game, the old game still forces player to do the tutorial
FIXED BUG: Sometimes player is able to put a glitched item in the wheelbarrow multiple times and it would cause the wheelbarrow to say “item not found”
FIXED BUG: Steam Deck should no longer crash when loading tutorial video tips
- There is an issue with the Steam Deck and how UE4 encodes videos which would cause crashes on the Deck. This is something that I can’t change unfortunately and is something I have to wait Steam / UE4 to patch. Force disabling these video tips should prevent Steam Deck crashes now (my current solution), although I don’t have a Deck to test it out so please let me know if the problem persists!
FIXED BUG: Removed Herobrine
Bunhouse Update 1.3.1 hotfix
- Code is 23894 and all previously deleted save files will now appear in the load menu (inside the main menu)
- Note: the time played and last date played metrics will have been wiped, so those will be reset for all previously deleted files
FIXED BUG: Order menu not properly subtracting in trees category
FIXED BUG: Having exactly two save files will still show the text, “no other save files” above your obviously existent previous saves in the load menu
Bunhouse Update 1.3.1
Changelog 1.3.1
------------------
ADDED: Super scrolling
- With all the new bunhouse additions, items are really piling up and it takes a while to scroll through some of the sections in the order menu at the mailbox
- With super scrolling you can now quickly navigate up and down in the order menu to get to the item you want faster by using the right thumbstick on controller or scroll wheel on mouse
ADDED: Ability to subtract items from the current order
- A much requested feature that I finally was able to implement after some code refactoring 🙂
- When you press the “Navigate Back” button on controller (or esc on keyboard) it will not exit the menu but instead subtract from whatever item is highlighted
- When all items in that category are gone, then the navigate back button will exit the order menu (still giving the “are you sure” prompt unless there are no items in the order anymore)
—--
CHANGED: Can no longer put bee house in the wheelbarrow (doing so messes up their flower recommendations)
CHANGED: Bees no longer request the Purple Oxalis (so you can guarantee getting honey before having to dig)
CHANGED: Kickstarter backer credits name update
—--
FIXED BUG: Rare issue with overlay for common controls being stuck after exiting fishing mini-game
FIXED BUG: Grid not properly showing when removing an item from the wheelbarrow
FIXED BUG: Maybe? I’m aware of an issue where the bun would be stuck carrying nothing after pulling an item from the wheelbarrow. I’ve spent many hours trying to figure out what causes it but to no avail. I’ve made some changes to the wheelbarrow system that may have fixed it but, since I’m unable to reproduce the bug, I can’t know for sure. Please let me know if this bug still exists!
Bunhouse 1.3.0 Hotfix

I'm back at it with another update. Lots of fun changes and additions so check out the full list below!
Full Changelog
ADDED: Bee House
- Take care of your cool new bee buddies by providing them housing
- Bees will request five different flower plants to be grown near them
- The request takes the form of a flower icon on the bee house which you will have to compare to your plantipedia (unless you can recognize the icon right away)
- If you oblige their request and keep their flowers healthy, they will give you honey in return every so often
- Flowers must be within the range of the beehouse (range is visible by inspecting like sprinklers), without any walls blocking, and they must be healthy + fully grown
- If a desired flower dies near the beehouse, you will need to grow another one for the bees to start producing honey again

- Makes cute bee noises when you place it down

Bunhouse's Earth Appreciation Sale - 20% off, 20% to charity
Charity, Baby!
For the length of the Earth Appreciation Sale (4-20 through 4-26), not only will Bunhouse be 20% off, but I will also donate 20% of profits to Earth Day Network which does a fantastic job of education, funding earth conservation projects, and spreading the word about our awesome earth!
So, I sincerely hope you'll consider spreading the word about Bunhouse to help generate some money for charity in addition to enjoying a relaxing bunny-filled game about taking care of plants that also call earth their home :)
Broadcast from the Developer
Through a chunk of the sale, I will also be broadcasting Bunhouse on Steam to generate some more hype and hopefully get more sales for Earth Day Network. I don't have a rigid schedule but sometimes I'll be live, and sometimes I'll be playing an old video broadcast for those who happened to miss the original live version.
New Update
As if things couldn't get more awesome, Bunhouse version 1.3.0 with lots of cool new additions will also be dropping within the next couple of days, so keep your eyes peeled!
Thanks so much for the awesome community and support around Bunhouse and I hope you have a good Earth day!

CHANGED: Increased the opacity of the wheelbarrow UI menu to make it easier to read

FIXED BUG: If multiple fertilizer flingers or sprinklers are in the greenhouse, putting one of them into a wheelbarrow causes the range spheres to remain visible
