Four New Floor Styles

The lone wood floor in the Building Book grew into a proper Floors category. The original is now called Wooden Floor 01 and four siblings join it:

• Wooden Floor 02 — 4 planks + 8 nails. Alternate wood plank pattern.
• Parquet Floor — 6 planks + 10 nails. Premium wood, finer pattern.
• Cobblestone Floor — 8 stones. Hard-wearing stone tile, no wood needed.
• Terracota Floor — 6 clay lumps. Warm-toned ceramic tile, no wood needed.

All four work with the storage deposits (use Lumber/Stone/Clay/Nail Deposit on the construction site to drain the bin and apply directly), with the hammer (full demolish + half refund), and with the original ground restoration on z=7.

Buildable Forge

You can now build your own Forge on your ranch through the Building Book under Machinery. Costs 6 iron bars + 8 clay lumps + 6 planks + 12 nails — generous, but the forge has been the single most useful machinery in the game and it deserves to live on every ranch. The village forge keeps working unchanged for anyone who hasn't built their own yet.

Street Light

A new Street Light joins the Furniture category. Costs 4 iron bars + 8 nails. Click the lamp to toggle it on or off — your choice when to light it, and the state stays until you click again.

Bug Fix — White Rooster from Non-White Parents

Players were seeing fully white roosters born from couples where neither parent had any white. Tracked down to a runtime-only field that wiped on server restart: the pregnant female was holding the father's species and coat colors in memory, and a restart between conception and birth cleared them — the birth code then defaulted to white_rooster with zero colors. The same fragility silently affected horse coat inheritance for years.

Fix: the father's snapshot is now persisted on the pregnant female (5 new columns on ranch_pets, auto-migrated on boot). Birth survives both server restarts and the father dying / being sold mid-pregnancy. Conceptions from this patch onward are fully protected; pregnancies that were already in progress with lost data won't be retroactively recovered.
