🦖🛠️ Patch Notes Version 1.2.28 🛠️ 🦖

BIG (MASSIVE) UPDATES
- Added ‘Seasoned Rancher Start’ feature to accelerate starting a new character. Once you've played far enough for your ranch house to be repaired and upgraded, you'll unlock the Seasoned Rancher Start. You'll then be offered the choice to use it whenever you create a new character. Seasoned Rancher Start begins on day 5, skipping the basic tutorials, so you can starting befriending dinos and designing your ideal ranch right away. You'll also start off with an albino Gallimimus, bonus resources and shells, and some extra goodies in your ranch storage to start decorating with.
- Added a variety of new colors to certain dinos. (We won’t tell you which dinos or colours though!)

Additional Updates

- Better handling of repairing the Veridian Valley windmill while Marlo is still present.
- Removed duplicate textures used by the Triassea Picnic food pile to save memory.
- Fixed rarity of 'weekday' colors for some dinos' second patterns.
- Tweaked Spanish translation of the ‘Seasoned Rancher Start’ strings.
- Fixed repeated stamina regen SFX when sitting.
- Memory optimizations in the ranch and valley.
- Memory optimizations to ranch debris, build mode, and mount/dismount VFX.
- Improved CPU performance of ranch debris.
- Fixed non-upgraded dreamstones being placed slightly underground.
