The first week after the release is behind us. Thanks to all of you who’ve supported us and thanks to everyone who enjoys playing Cattle and Crops. We hope that you like what we have done and have collected your feedback. So today we're releasing a hotfix update that fixes some bugs and crashes as well as includes a few optimizations.

Regarding the selling prices: we have increased the selling prices of grain using the difficulty level price factors, and at the same time we have lowered the animal selling prices a bit (for values see the changelog). That way the profit gap has become much narrower and it is much more worth it to cultivate and harvest grain. In our calculations, the new values can be used very well.
In addition we have generally repaired all selling price calculations in connection with the selling price difficulty.

Another change is that bought grain, seeds or fertilizer can only be resold at a significant loss (90% deduction). This value is mixed with self-produced crops - a sale with e.g. 50% purchased and 50% harvested grain will result in a 45% deduction.
Similarly, young (low weight) animals have a very low resale value. This increases exponentially the more they weigh, so that only selling nearly or fully grown animals results in a profit.
These deductions are independent of the difficulty level.

As always, you can find the complete overview in the changelog.
