Paleo Pines Patch Notes — April 20, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello Ranchers!
We are so pleased to announce that our first FREE update to Paleo Pines created and funded by our player community is finally here! 🚀
A huge thank you to those of you who pledged towards the Players' Choice Kickstarter and to all of our players who have supported this special game for years. 🙏 It has been a joy to work with our players on designing and choosing what is in this first update and we hope you enjoy it!
What's Arriving in this Release
The heart of this update is a dinosaur we know many of you have been waiting for: the Spinosaurus! 🦖 You can now discover and befriend this magnificent new friend, featuring the first selection of colors and patterns chosen by the community.
New Discoveries:
Rare Meteor Showers: Keep an eye on the sky for this new atmospheric event.
Fallen Stars: During these showers, you can find fallen stars to craft into Dreamstones, helping you create even more homes for your dinosaurs.
Wild Apium: For the first time, you’ll be able to find Apium growing as a wild plant during your travels.
New Colors: Several existing species now have new color variations, thanks to our "Dino Color Transfer" backers.
Community Designed Decor
Your creativity is all over this update! We’ve added a substantial amount of new ranch and character decor, including multiple items designed by our Decor Designers.
For those with code access, you can look forward to:
The Spino Clothing and Decor Set
The VIP Ranch Decor Terrarium
Pride, Swamp, and Spooky themed sets
Voice of the Valley
The residents of the island have more to say, too! We have implemented new Villager Quotes 🥸 created by our players, and even our resident Mysterious Cactus 🌵 has some new guidance to share with you as you explore.
Thank you again for making this possible. This is only the beginning, as work on the second Players' Choice update is already underway. We can't wait to see you back on the ranch ❤️
