The mod extends John’s ranch to feature (almost) all mechanics from camps seen throughout story mode! Like the donation box or supplies!
Beechers Hope Expansion
Were you ever wondering why beechers hope was so stripped down compared to other gang camps in terms of mechanics and interactions? Well maybe not… however this mod extends John’s ranch to feature (almost) all mechanics from camps seen throughout story mode, so lets jump in!
Camp UI
when visiting Beechers Hope, in the left corner the player can now see his cash, John’s family cash and the 3 statistics present in the regular camps (food, ammo and medications). The 3 icons show how much of the corresponding items are in stock under their blips.
Money and Donations
As stated above, Beechers Hope, now has its own money, which is the equivalent of gang savings, that allow you to purchase resupplies for the other stats and various upgrades for John’s home.
To increase the available family money, John can donate items or his own cash, via the cash box (exactly like in camp!). Alternatively, for completing all the chores and selling the goods, aside from the $8 you get, your family budget will receive an additional $32. This amount can be higher, when the water tower or farm extension upgrade is purchased. Jack, Abigail and Uncle sporadically donate money, while John is gone.
Ledger
As porting the original ledger proved to be *slightly* challenging, I decided to settle on a poormans version of it, placed in Johns journal. You can use it to resupply the ranch.
Family Food
Aside from being responsible for the item on the food shelf in the kitchen, it is also the supply of food from donations, that can be done through the butcher table in the shed. Both of these values can alter the effects of the dinner that Abigail makes (similarly to Pearsons stew!), so make sure to keep them high. Abigails dinner will restore more and potentionally even fortify some cores if the supplies are high enough.
You can donate animals to the butcher table, so that Uncle will prepare them for Abigail. You can only bring full carcasses, however every animal has a different value of how much it increases the food statistic.
Family Medications and Ammo
These are almost replicas of the ones found in camp. They give John and his family access to various goods at home, at an increased price, compared to the one at store. The shelves containing these are marked on the map and the blip will change depending on how much of the corresponding supply is left.
Upgrades
Albert Cakes (the guy who sold John his pre-cut house) is open for business again! There you can purchase various new stuff for the ranch, the menu and its contents are *very* work in progress, but I decided to release it as is, because of life stuff and my coming finals I probably won’t finish it to a satisfactory degree any time soon. (So yes, some/most stuff are in-development placeholders, only meant for flavour)
Installation
Extract the archive and put ranch.asi, ranch.dat and scripthook rdr2 into the game folder.
Known Bugs
sometimes after installation the family money can be some very high number, to reset it simply hold 2, 3 and 4 on the keyboard.
