Doloc Town Pastoral Waves Update Brings Ranching and Fish-Farming
The first major expansion for Doloc Town introduces land animal and fish farming alongside a dedicated technology tree, a new faction, and automated tools. Players also get visual overhauls, building controller upgrades, and economy adjustments.
Doloc Town has received its first major content expansion, Pastoral Waves. The update introduces homestead ranching systems, automated farming tools, a new faction, and comprehensive economic rebalancing across the map.
Ranching and Homesteading
Players can now construct new facilities to raise land animals and fish. Unlocking these capabilities requires progressing through the story to access a dedicated Ranching Tech Tree. The expansion also adds a new ranching faction featuring NPC Kenenimuu, alongside tutorial, settlement, environmental modifier, and faction quests. Processed ranch goods, vertical farm expansions, a creature encyclopedia, and a plant information page round out the homestead additions.
Automation and Quality of Life
Completing quests for the Ranching and Kontiki factions unlocks semi-automatic planting tools and harvesting drone attachments. A new Construction Controller feature simplifies building, moving, and demolishing structures and platforms. Motorbike handling has been optimized, invisible walls removed, and three new background music tracks added. Used cardboard boxes and weather transformers can no longer be repurchased after sale.
World and Economy Changes
Wetland resource distribution has been adjusted alongside a slight increase in enemy aggression in those areas. Device and item recipes and sale prices are rebalanced. The Vulture faction's Desert Greening quest requires fewer materials, with excess items from completed runs refunded via mail. Basic natural resources are now purchasable at stores, and several shops carry new inventory items.
Visual and Terrain Polish
The overall color grading and lighting brightness of the game have been adjusted. Textures are upgraded across several scenes, and suburban terrain resources and non-arable areas have received rework passes.
Why this patch matters
The Pastoral Waves update broadens the mid-to-late game loop in Doloc Town, giving players production chains and automation tools to manage larger homesteads.
