Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes.

1. 10 new Farm Covers in the Paths/Ground section in the Store:

Dry Grass
Semi Dry Taller Grass
Autumn Grass
Light Brown Plain Land
Brown Plain Land
Dusty Ground
Dirty Ground
Asphalt Ground
Sand Cover
Water Cover

2. New Filters in Facility Manager: You can now filter your facilities in the Facility Manager using the Filter icon below the Sort icon. These are the available filters:

- Facilities in Current Farm
- Active Facilities in Current Farm
- Active Facilities in All Farms
Active Facilities are facilities that have at least one product with Pending or Done productions. We are still missing one filter 'Facilities in All Farms' which we will be releasing in the future, but having the 'Active Facilities in All Farms' in the meantime should help.

Also, the 'Pending' text in each Facility is now green when there is at least one product that you can make on that facility.

3. Forklift Tool (FC): Allows you to use the 'Store All' button in the Facility Manager to Store All products in one Facility with one click. This tool consumes 1 fuel for each different type of product it stores.

4. Start +30 Batches with one click: There is a +30 button in each facility that will allow you to start up to 30 batches at once.

5. Tree Shaker 8 x 8 (FC): If you already own the Tree Shaker 8 x 4, then you can by this new Tree Shaker to harvest trees twice as fast, up to 64 at a time.

6. Increased Item Storage capacity: You have now 10 slots available on your Item Storage for each neighbour you have, a 100% increase.

7. Flower Fertilizer: If you own the Orange Manure Spreader, when you fertilize your farms, your flowers will be fertilized as well.

8. The Harvest and Sell option and other popups removed: From now on, when you harvest, all your harvest will go to your storage. Also, popups when storing baits in Gift Box and when moving to the pending tabs in a Facility have been removed.

9. Bottom Advertisings removed: We decided to remove the bottom ads in the game to improve players experience until we are absolutly sure they will not interfere with the game performance. In the meantime, we may show some holidays farmcash offers.

10. Corrupted items in farms are now hidden automatically: Ocassionally there were items in the farm that could not be deleted or moved, specially plow or gone to waste fields, those items are now hidden.

11. Optimizations when working at neighbour facilities: You should experience much less timeouts because of this. Also, when experiencing timeouts you will have the option to retry the operation to avoid reloading your farm and losing context, for ex: you can continue working after hired.

12. Users that don't own the Red Manure Spreader can now send the Orange Manure Spreader to their neighbours as a Gift: However the recipient of the gift still needs to own the *Red* Manure Spreader for you to be able to send the *Orange* Manure Spreader.

13. Drying Facility (Coins): Allows you to produce dried Fruits and Veggies.

Raisins
Dried Plums
Dried Figs
Dried Mushrooms
Dried Split Peas
Dried Apricots
Dried Pears
Sweet Dried Cranberries

14. Soup Restaurant (FC): Allows you to make soups. You can produce Cream in the Diary Processing Plant.

Tomato Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup
French Onion Soup
Split Pea Soup
Cream of Mushrooms
Lobster Soup
Beef Chili Soup

Enjoy!

Thanks

Thanks for the new releases. I noticed that my flowers were suddenly fertilized! Great stuff. I haven't checked anything yet, but doesn't French Onion Soup require CHEESE? Please, please, please...do something about the lack of cheese. I have EIGHT dairies and never have enough cheese for all the facilities.
Ok, enough whining. I have work to do, lol.

Thanks for the update. I can't wait to play with all the new stuff. One question, if people can send the orange manure spreader even if the person getting the spreader doesn't have the red one does that mean they can fertilize crops with out the red spreader of do they still have to buy the read spreader.

Thanks

That "other" farm game could take a few lessons from you all. I used to play it too, but those popups were too aggravating, and such limits of room on it too. Thank you all for letting an old geezer enjoy a good game with plenty of ground to work on.

I'm so happy to get more storage for each neighbor! And I love that the fertilizer now works on flowers. Hopefully I won't run out anymore but I have about two days to find out if I now have enough of all my fowers or if I'm doomed to plant more. lol Haven't gotten either new facility yet but I will soon. I have to buy FC of course but that's okay because I was planning on it anyway. I don't care for the forklift esp since it's 45 FC nor do I care for the new treeshaker even though it's not too expensive. But I'm not being forced to buy either one so I won't. I love this game! To those who cry about cheese, post a link and have two or three neighbors help! If you don't have neighbors who play still, create new accounts! Heck, I did and I rarely run out of cheese and I only have dairy plants on 5 farms!

Feb 11 2011, 11:54 PM
A wonderful update.....thank you so much :)

I would like to add, I doubt that I will buy the Forklift but then if the dairy, Chicken Coop and Wool Shed were added to the facilities list, I might consider it! ;)

Feb 12 2011, 12:05 AM
Okay....had just started this, and the new update notice appeared in the middle...so hopefully I can edit all the stuff out that no longer applies! :)

So far this is great!! Lovely job on this wonderful game!! Kudoes to all of you!!!

However, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!!! I just dumped my plums and apricot trees...rofl!! I opted for more mulberry and rubber trees!

I like the new things that I have found so far, and I finally got time to play around with the facility manager...VERY nice!! If this old brain can remember it.

I really love this game, I really do...a bit frustrated with all the things that are farmcash only, now that we are on a fixed income, there is a lot less to use for games.

While I love, love, love that the store or sell popup is gone...I am missing all the trees I harvested during the changeover...sigh. It says I have no olives, and I just harvested a large number of them.

I also noticed that even tho' I worked about 5 or 6 farms since late last night, got around 3-5 wedding dresses, and I refilled and emptied my facility for quite a few more(sorry I never expected to need to know how many...this is just one example) all that is in my storage is 5 dresses.

It does make me afraid to harvest the rest of my trees, I don't want to loose all my silk worms and other hard to get harvests.

But, I guess if all I loose is a little money, I think I will totally like the new update anyway!! Thank you so much for all your work.

Gonna try the cache thing, and reboot to see if my olives return, etc.

PS why does it still say I am just a beginner when I am at level 185?

Feb 12 2011, 12:16 AM
I really love the new drying and soup facility. The new kidney bean crop is also nice..I'm happy that it is an 8 hour crop. I especially love that the new facilities need tree produce from trees that can mostly be purchased from the store and is not dependent on gifts. I have tons of friends and get lots of gifts but receiving them and exchanging them is still slow and tedious.

What I am disappointed in is when I go to work on the facilities on a friend's farm I am not seeing the blue "click to work" rectangular button on each product. It was so easy to tell at a glance which product needed to be worked. Now I need to hover over each and every product to see if there is available production. This is a step backward.

Not finished testing this but we are thinking right now that it will also let you work the same facility twice on a neighbors farm. You might want to check that.

Love the game, keep up the great work!

Feb 12 2011, 12:19 AM
Just a slight concern. Sorry. The facility manager is showing facilities I don't have. I only have, for example, one chocolate factory, but I'm seeing three. Am I doing something daft? Advice please? Thank you.

A possible solution for the cheese, as my friend Floyd has suggested, would be to have different types of cheese. Mozzarela for pizza...swiss for mushroom burger...parmasean for salads, jarlesburg for french onion soup, cheddar for mac and cheese, etc........

Feb 12 2011, 12:28 AM
First of all I want to thank you guys for the new additions, they're great :) There is a small glitch in the matrix... In the facilities manager, when you go to "activate facilities in all farms", it even pulls up the facilities in storage. When I put a facility in storage, it's because I want it Inactive. It even shows the farm number that the facility it was on before I put it in storage. This is very confusing! Thanks for you quick attention on this matter :)

So far, "Active Facilities in All Farms" and "Store All" buttons are fabulous. I'm hoping that the forklift will eventually end up on the extended tool bar!??

Feb 12 2011, 12:32 AM
The update is quite nice and I love the fact I can now use the facility manager and do all farms at once(Very Awesome). I also love that facility's can be filled 300% or more faster and that annoying option to harvest and sell is gone.

There is one thing that needs to be added and it's fairly simple. We need the option to filter our storage by planted crops so it only shows stuff we can plant in the ground and exclude stuff from tree's. It's a small thing, but it would make it much easier to plant crops if I can tell faster what to plant.

Also I was thinking why is it when we work on neighbors farms we can't just use the facility manager and have it tell us which ones have work?

Hi, great updates thanks.. The only thing I wish you would have done for us if have the oil pump, pump faster. We need to have this as we have to wait for these barrels, put them in the oil refinery, then into another facility.. Takes a long time.. or have an option that the pump can also be a facility.. suggestion of course.

You need to put the forklift in storage first and then go to the facility manager to click the 'store all".

Don't know if anybody else is having this problem, or not, but when I loaded the Facilities Manager and used the "funneling icon" to max out all of my Oil Pumps, it worked properly. However, when I double-checked by going to the individual farms where the Oil Pumps are located, they reverted back to amount they were, originally, before I maxed them. Anybody else having this problem?

Only complaint: Why didn't you release it all about an hour earlier? I had just finished restocking my largest farm and went to another farm when suddenly the differences showed up. LOL

Now when you take care of hiring neighbors to work farms in a simple way without the ordeal of going to the marketplace, I will do a happy-joy dance!

And get rid of Farmcash. Coins only.

The devs already got rid of perfectly good advertising, and now you want them to get rid of Farm Cash? They might as well close the doors to their business, then. Something's gotta pay for our fun.

12. Users that don't own the Red Manure Spreader can now send the Orange Manure Spreader to their neighbours as a Gift.


I don't own the red manure spreader, but I don't see an option anywhere to send the orange one as a gift (in fact, I thought that was a FC item?). Am I misunderstanding something? :confused:

The orange manure spreader is a FC item under the tools and you should see a 'send' button.

Lots of great additions and fixes with this release. Thanks, devs.

When I'm working a neighbor's facilities, I'm glad to see just a single XP value float up rather than an individual value for each item I worked. This is the kind of little subtlety that makes for a good game experience.

But as someone else mentioned, I miss the blue "Click to Work" button being visible immediately upon entry to each neighbor's facility. It gives me a visual clue to how many items I need to work. I don't need to click on the items with 0 pending; but now without the blue button, it is much harder to spot those items with nothing pending. And it is difficult to know if my click "took" (sometimes I click so fast, I have to go back and click an item that didn't register during my haste). Bottom line... please bring back the blue button. :D

But thanks again, devs. :)

same thing happened to me! I lost all my petrochemicals and milk and $$ - and yet my oil pumps, petrochemical factory, and dairies lost their pending production :(
Great updates other than that - hopefully we can rollback and get our stuff back?!?!?

Feb 12 2011, 02:26 AM
This is a fantastic update, thanks to all the devs.

I love the new options on the facilities manager, to be able to manage all facilities from one place instead of going from farm to farm is heaven. The +30 option on the facilities is great especially with the one hour items. I'm glad the +1 and +10 options were kept in place, I don't always fill everything, especially those requiring cheese (hint, hint).

The new tree shaker is what I've been wishing for, it was annoying to only plant trees in one direction for optimal shaking. Now if the same improvement can be made for the chain saw, happy dance.

I like the new facilities and glad to have a reason to bring back my plum trees, they are so pretty.

I love the new ground covers, I now have sand in my beach community.

Alway nice to get new seeds and seeds that may be used in a facility is a special treat.

Adding new products to existing facilities is always nice too.

Glad to have more storage, I like to store extra gift trees just in case.

And last but not least, fertilized flowers is a nice addition.

No, don't accept that.

If you want to buy coins and you can buy farmcash. Get rid of farmcash and keep the coins.

Make all facilities available by coins.

I would not mind if those "services" honoured their offers but they don't.

Feb 12 2011, 02:43 AM
I do not know where to post this but this is about facilities, normally when work on neighbours factories if done it says about doing tomorrow and wont allow you to go no further, but after todays update I noticed even after you worked and it says come again tomorrow it still allows you to collect again, and if go to their farm to work again it allows you to do all them all over again :(

I would not mind the ads IF the block ad feature actually worked. But most times it came up with a message something like "not now, later or something."

Most ads were okay but some just were not targeted properly. I'm happily married and I don't want dating services. I am playing FT so I don't want games and I am quite happy with my mobile service and my bank. Okay, so they might not know the last two but if I could block them, I would be happy.

Simply put, it would not be a problem, if the control features worked.

I don't think they actually interferred with the game. Never made any difference if there was a problem.

And as for Farmcash, I didn't say would should get rid of the ability to buy coins just make ONE means of buying things.

Really do both stables and both poo spreaders have to be Farmcash?

And do the essential facilities are restricted. I refuse to buy Farmcash because I am forced too:mad:. I might buy Coins because I want too.

Jas,
The update says if you do not have the Red spreader not if the person getting the spreader. The recipient would have to already have the red spreader.

I love the update too but I lost all my stuff from my faciliites .. I had worked all 8 Farms on Farm 1 filling and emptying ... when I went back .. all my done's were empty and none of my fills were there .. this was very upsetting especially the stuff from the pumps .. i had 8 farms x ? over 100 for sure which i had loaded into the oil refinery .. which was now empty.

I don't think they actually interferred with the game. Never made any difference if there was a problem.

The Ad Block as you call it is not actually a block, but a way for you to voice your opinion to the ad company (not Slashkey). The only way an ad would be removed from the rotation is if enough people voice their opinion that the ad was bad. How many ads do you see on TV that are relevent to you and there you have no way to block them unless you watch everything tape delayed. As far as I am concerned none of the ads interested me but this is a way for Slashkey to make money to keep up equipment and pay the programmers.
As far as interference there have been some with pop-ups that have interfered and Slashkey was very quick to respond and have those ads pulled to stop the problems.

This is TOTALLY AWESOME -- as usual!!! Fertilized Flowers!!! Storing all pending items with one click. Many of those annoying tabs gone. The 8x8 tree shaker. BUT BEST OF ALL IS MY WISH LIST ITEM GOT TAKEN CARE OF -- NO MORE HAVING TO CHOOSE "HARVEST AND STORE" IT'S THE DEFAULT!!!

DEVS, YOU ROCK! NOW OFF TO SPEND MY FT$

Thank you so much for the upgrades on the production clicks. It helps to know when to stop easier than it was before that is lol. I second the store all on gifts. And thanks for also getting rid of the bait message when clicked to store in the gift box. That was really annoying. I really love the game. Is there a way to tell when you first played the game? I think I've been doing this for about 2 years now. Suppose it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things....but still would like to know lol

I love the update too but I lost all my stuff from my faciliites .. I had worked all 8 Farms on Farm 1 filling and emptying ... when I went back .. all my done's were empty and none of my fills were there .. this was very upsetting especially the stuff from the pumps .. i had 8 farms x ? over 100 for sure which i had loaded into the oil refinery .. which was now empty.

Not sure it will work for you, but did you try to refresh your browser? That hasn't happened to me before, which I'm knocking on wood now lol. But maybe refreshing or using a different browser? I run Google Chrome and Firefox now, usually just chrome.

Jas,
The update says if you do not have the Red spreader not if the person getting the spreader. The recipient would have to already have the red spreader.

It was changed to you after I posted that question. I don't remember how it was worded before but it made it sound like if the person that is receiving the orange spreader didn't need to own a red one to get an orange one and use it. That is what I am asking about. Can someone receive an orange spreader as a gift and use it if they do not have the red spreader?

If they don't have to have the red spreader that wouldn't not be fair to everyone who has had to purchase both spreaders. I am sure they would already have to have the red one. I for one wouldn't be happy about it as I payed for both spreaders, that would mean if you knew someone who was playing you could send them a farm cash voucher they could then send you the orange spreader as a gift and that would mean you have only had to pay for one:(

What a lovely surprise for my Saturday morning. I'm glad I'd switched off the computer last night before the update came or I might not have got to bed!

I like this update. It's a great one. All the good things are farm cash, but I've been working at special offers lately so I have that.

In bed last night I was working out how I'd organise farm 9 with trees, even planting trees that had no use in the game. Now I wake to find that there WILL be a use for those tree products in the drying plant. What fun.

awesome surprise to wake up to! a little disappointed about more items requiring FC to purchase. if we are going to have to use farm cash to buy more an more things, then why not make it easier to get FC (some people are on tight budgets and cannot buy it)

like say: 1FC for everyday that you play the game, or do like some of the other games that i play where you get something different each day that you play and say once a week on a certain day the player would get 3FC. farmtown game cards would be cool too then people could ask for them for birthdays and holidays. just a thought.

Thanks Devs.
These new changes are great, especially the new features in the facilities.

Now if we could just earn FC faster, or easier. In this economy it is extremely hard to spend lots of money on the game when we have real gas and food to buy our families. I like the idea about getting 1 FC for each day, or have a lottery like you do with the coins.

I'm now off to see what I can do on my farm.

Happy farming eveyone

When I click on the "- Active Facilities in All Farms" I get a pop up that says this filter is temporarily disabled, yet The announcement says this is a new feature.

Plus the Pending, Done and Utilization at the top of the facilities main window says I have 83447 products done. However, I have stored everything on this farm. My filter is set to current farm.

Wicked update apart from the "11. Optimizations when working at neighbour facilities: You should experience much less timeouts because of this. Also, when experiencing timeouts you will have the option to retry the operation to avoid reloading your farm and losing context, for ex: you can continue working after hired." this stil has not fixed my problem and has made it worse to be honest, before I could just click the green tick and I could continue on my farm, now I have to reload the whole game as it will not load anything.

Thank you very much! The 30+ tab is really nice, as well as the elimination of sell/store harvest and gift bait popups. Something that I would find helpful is an "ingredients" filter on the storage. The other filters are very helpful too, but sometimes I wish for an "ingredients" filter when I am trying to figure out what I need to grow or produce. Thanks again for the great update!

Love the new facilities its great when you create ways for us to use harvested items in facilities that we would normally throw away (I'm hoping eventually, every item that's harvested could be reused in some way). And I was sooooo hoping we would eventually be able to fertilize flowers, the devs are the best...

Also thank you so much for working out a lot of the issues we've been griping about, such as timeouts while working neighbors facilities, that was driving me crazy :/
I cant believe anyone still plays any of those other farm games... Nowhere else do you get this kind of support and development from the creators, you guys ROCK...

There might have been a glitch and they disabled the feature until they could get it fixed. Hopefully Rob or Double T or somebody can confirm this for us.

Love this game. I quit playin all the others on FB just so I have the time for this. Love the continued updates and that forklift is awesome! Anything to speed up the process.

I'd like to see people to have the ability to work the facilities that are bought with FC, like the trailer.
I can't keep up with chicken production with all the facilities that use it. Been turning gifts into chicken.
Haven't tried working others farms yet, but again, it would be nice to pick up some chicken that way too.
And for those that are short on FC, they could get needed ingrediants. Also a good incentive to get people to work other folks farms.
I did notice that it is easier to hire people in the market lately. A couple updates ago I had to wait and hope someone came in looking for work...now...lots of folks lookin.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the updates, nice surprise to wake up to. Can't wait to test everything out. I have tried the new "Active farms on all fields" I get a message that is temporarily disabled. I guess they are fixing the dupe facilities that I seen in some of the other post? Hope they get it fixed soon can't wait to try it. Also thanks for the +30 button it has been taking me an hour to work my facilities hopefully this will cut that time down a lot.

thanks

A possible solution for the cheese, as my friend Floyd has suggested, would be to have different types of cheese. Mozzarela for pizza...swiss for mushroom burger...parmasean for salads, jarlesburg for french onion soup, cheddar for mac and cheese, etc........

Yes, I agree with this... and please, either put the onions on shorter harvesting time, it is impossible to keep up with all the things that require the onions, unless you have your farm cropped and I really don't want to do that. Maybe you can even put onions as gifts, just the same as the tomatoes, that would be an improvement.

Thanks so much for all you all do and here I am asking for more things, thanks again Raul and company you guys are the best!!

The pumped up flower harvester and tree harvester not only will not go to storage, they don't work.

I can't help with them not working, but I found my fork lift would not go into storage at first. I tried twice with no luck, so just went ahead and used it. I left the farm, came back later and tried again and it stored with no problems.

i think it's the usual first day glitches. Have faith that it will be fixed. Try clearing cache, changing farms, etc. and then try again.

the forklift is basically a way to get 40 FC out of you so you can click a button

I have to disagree! It eliminates lots of clicks for me. I have to admit I was hoping for a "store all" button that would move all finished products from all facilities with one click...thinking that will probably end up as a "super forklift"...Farm Cash of course...and I will buy it :) To each his/her own, I guess. I am ecstatic about the new filtering - I know they will fix the glitches shortly - so nice to see all my windmills and all my dairies at a glance, and to not have to go to each farm to collect ingredients. Nice update, devs.

I agree with you 100 % I can't buy all the fc items but that doesn't stop me from playing the game. Wish some people would go back in time and remember how much longer things took. My hat goes off to the developers some ppl think its a flick of the fingers and all done, but I am sure takes lots if sleepless nights trying to work it all out

Dried fruits facility... a longggggg time ago I bought about 250 apricot trees and was about to sell them all off. And the plums!! Lordy!! And all ready for harvest :)
No ads at the bottom of the farm. I might consider getting rid of my ad blocker :D
Lots of goodies in this new release. Thanks devs, and thanks mod team/admin for putting together all our wants, needs, likes/dislikes and bringing a comprehensive package to the dev team.

Lovely upgrades. The new facilities are nice (although, at the rate we're going, onions are going to need to be giftable! LOL) but the optimization is stellar--I can finally work farms without the aggravation of going and digging out the post again, and starting over when I time out in the middle! Thanks so much!

question about facilities
now the done stuff shows up on all farms
but it says I have over 3000 done and when I go back through all my farms nothing is done
anyone know what that is about
thank you

It's 3,000 products between all your farms combined. Are you sure you didn't miss one or maybe the scroll bar was up/down?

I can't help with them not working, but I found my fork lift would not go into storage at first. I tried twice with no luck, so just went ahead and used it. I left the farm, came back later and tried again and it stored with no problems.

i think it's the usual first day glitches. Have faith that it will be fixed. Try clearing cache, changing farms, etc. and then try again.



I found a few updates back that any tools that are stored and used from your storage.... after purchasing them you need to click play and return to the farm you placed them on then you can store them and use them...... just works out that way........

Feb 12 2011, 02:21 PM
hi there,

we just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes.

1. 10 new farm covers in the paths/ground section in the store:

dry grass
semi dry taller grass
autumn grass
light brown plain land
brown plain land
dusty ground
dirty ground
asphalt ground
sand cover
water cover

2. New filters in facility manager: you can now filter your facilities in the facility manager using the filter icon below the sort icon. These are the available filters:

- facilities in current farm
- active facilities in current farm
- active facilities in all farms

active facilities are facilities that have at least one product with pending or done productions. We are still missing one filter 'facilities in all farms' which we will be releasing in the future, but having the 'active facilities in all farms' in the meantime should help.

Also, the 'pending' text in each facility is now green when there is at least one product that you can make on that facility.

3. Forklift tool (fc): allows you to use the 'store all' button in the facility manager to store all products in one facility with one click. This tool consumes 1 fuel for each different type of product it stores.

4. Start +30 batches with one click: there is a +30 button in each facility that will allow you to start up to 30 batches at once.

5. Tree shaker 8 x 8 (fc): if you already own the tree shaker 8 x 4, then you can by this new tree shaker to harvest trees twice as fast, up to 64 at a time.

6. Increased item storage capacity: you have now 10 slots available on your item storage for each neighbour you have, a 100% increase.

7. Flower fertilizer: if you own the orange manure spreader, when you fertilize your farms, your flowers will be fertilized as well.

8. The harvest and sell option and other popups removed: from now on, when you harvest, all your harvest will go to your storage. Also, popups when storing baits in gift box and when moving to the pending tabs in a facility have been removed.

9. Bottom advertisings removed: we decided to remove the bottom ads in the game to improve players experience until we are absolutly sure they will not interfere with the game performance. In the meantime, we may show some holidays farmcash offers.

10. Corrupted items in farms are now hidden automatically: ocassionally there were items in the farm that could not be deleted or moved, specially plow or gone to waste fields, those items are now hidden.

11. Optimizations when working at neighbour facilities: you should experience much less timeouts because of this. Also, when experiencing timeouts you will have the option to retry the operation to avoid reloading your farm and losing context, for ex: You can continue working after hired.

12. Users that don't own the red manure spreader can now send the orange manure spreader to their neighbours as a gift: however the recipient of the gift still needs to own the *red* manure spreader for you to be able to send the *orange* manure spreader.

13. Drying facility (coins): allows you to produce dried fruits and veggies.

Raisins
dried plums
dried figs
dried mushrooms
dried split peas
dried apricots
dried pears
sweet dried cranberries

14. Soup restaurant (fc): allows you to make soups. You can produce cream in the diary processing plant.

Tomato soup
chicken noodle soup
french onion soup
split pea soup
cream of mushrooms
lobster soup
beef chili soup

enjoy!

Thanks

Yeah, I had over 1100 cheese in production in one facility - the new manager (before it was disabled) put them all in one, even though I was filling multiple facilities. I was happy to know all those ingredients didn't just disappear :). Gonna love that feature when they get it smoothed out.

If you send it to someone, it takes the FC out of your account. You'll see a 'buy' (for you) and a 'send' (which sends to someone).


All FC items can be sent to friends. You can send an orange manure spreader to someone or they can send to you, but again, it costs FC.

There's always been a limit. Currently it's 32 that you can send but your gift box limit is 150 in game.

If you have more than 100 on FB, it just shows requests but they are still there.

Thank you for the update - I love it! Like most everyone else, under the 'facilities manager' I am seeing that I own 2 of all of my facilities, which I don't. I can see this is a bug, so I will be patient and wait!

Thanks again! I love this game!!

I love the new updates. You guys never disappoint. The only thing I would wish is that new ingredients be put at the end of the list. I just put all my milk into making cream instead of cheese. :-D

Awesome new stuff. I had to stop playing for awhile because it was just taking too long to do everything. The game is now much more about strategy and planning, and less about mindless clicking. LOVE IT!

I agree with putting new items at the end of lists. I haven't added a bunch of cream to production, but I've almost done it a few times already.

To add to what Rob said, for now you just have to make sure the filter is set to 'active facilities' in the current farm.

If you accidentally have the last one checked, it might make it look like you can't use your facility manager...happened to my friend this morning but she switched it to the 'active on current farm' and could use the manager.

This is one of the best upgrades. Many of us started out with a 2x2 harvester, then a 4x4, etc. why don't you make provisions for TRADE-ins towards the larger items, e.g., the tree shakers and manure spreaders? It gets rather expensive to spend "another" $40 FC for something similar to what we already have. When might "one click", store all gifts become a reality? Thanks for the good work.

Nice updates
Would have liked to have seen the time to harvest a crop doubled as my work hours makes it tricky to get back to the game to harvest the 8hr items before they perish (often I fail to make it in time).

When you plant an 8 hour crop you have SIXTEEN hours. It takes 8 to ripen and then another 8 until it goes to waste. I also think they have a little leeway built in. I had some purple grapes planted and didn't get home until after 8 hours after planting. I had them on 2 farms and none rotted before they could be harvested.

Nice update, those bits that work anyway! Love the +30 button, and the forklift for emptying the facs straight from the manager too, but do have one very small question:
In the update, there was supposed to be a fix for dead plots:
10. Corrupted items in farms are now hidden automatically: Ocassionally there were items in the farm that could not be deleted or moved, specially plow or gone to waste fields, those items are now hidden.
Mine all still show up on all the farm where they have been for a long time, so I guess this is another part of the update that isn't quite working yet?

I love this update! I'm off to buy the forklift as soon as I buy FC... And those new facilities look interesting too! Might have to buy enough FC for them all! *lol*
Of course I'm still begging the developers to put some sort of crops/goods storage gauge on the storage menu so we can tell how full that storage is getting. I've been losing crops and some goods too, although I try to keep everything sold that I don't need. Although it isn't acknowledged as being the reason for losing stuff, I suspect it is. Could the developers pretty pretty pretty please put in a rough gauge, like a thermometer even, to show us where we stand with our storage?? Please?? :)

Why should I play - be competitive - play LEGITIMATE and yet watch as other players fly by me due to the GLITCH that allows them to layer????????????????
I have no doubt that some may say - Hey DON'T PLAY if you don't like it... very true. My answer would be this is more of a "to the point"

Yes some do layer, but they also run the risk of damaging their farms which we constantly warn. Some of the damage is permanent too which is why we don't recommend layering.

I don't layer, but don't really care if others do. Layering can help people gain coins and experience faster so they can upgrade their farms faster. It also carries a great risk of corrupting their farms. If the people that layer move faster than me, I really couldn't care less. I'm not playing competitively and the game isn't really set up to be played competitively. I play because I enjoy it and if others play in different ways to make it more enjoyable for them, so be it.

Hello,

Have you tired the suggestion in Help&Support ? It might be a temporary problem with the new update, but if i were you, i would try the suggestions on clearing cache and macromedia files. Here's the link, read the first post.....

Yes some do layer, but they also run the risk of damaging their farms which we constantly warn. Some of the damage is permanent too which is why we don't recommend layering.

Thanks Double T - just blowing some steam and will just LOVE it when this one get's fixed cause {{Evil Grin}} just going to love watching those have to either have it fixed or start over.

(BTW I don't sweat the small stuff ;) just plain disgusted with cheaters... )

Hi everyone, I noticed parsley showing up as a new seed. Do we need it for the soup kitchen or drying facility? I don't want to plant it if it is not needed.

Thanks

Parsley has been around for a while. As of right now, it's not used in anything.

Sorry just have to put this out there.
Wonderful new facs... New Tools all took time for developers and that's certainly appreciated...
ON a different note.. I am just near that point of no longer playing due to ONE glitch that has not been fixed and almost every n'bor I have takes advantage of this.
LAYERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why should I play - be competitive - play LEGITIMATE and yet watch as other players fly by me due to the GLITCH that allows them to layer????????????????
I have no doubt that some may say - Hey DON'T PLAY if you don't like it... very true. My answer would be this is more of a "to the point"
WHAT do LAYERERS expect to accomplish when they're already at max level !???????????
Just sign me....

A quick reply on this
~ Farm Town, to me...is not a 'Competitive' game ~

It's more of a place to come when one needs to get their Zen on.
;)

It's a relaxing game; no one attacks you like the Mafia,
or steals yer Crops, or burns down yer City stuff
when yer not there...*grin*.
:eek:

I like to level up so I can buy everything there is to
buy...lol, but then again I am a Farm Town Hoarder ;)

I just feel that this is one Application that is not a 'race' to beat
out our Neighbors n stuff...in fact, just the opposite. I can't tell
you how hilarious it is that my Mom is playing Farm Town
~ she is 71 years young~
and she 'stalks' my crops and calls me when they're ready
so she and I can shoot the breeze and hang out.
:)

In fact everytime there is a new release my farm is flooded with
all my friends dropping in to talk about said New Release
and I never get a thing done on those days...lmao.
:rolleyes:

Anyway ~ I think it's far fetched to call out 'cheating' on the
Layering aspect of the game; the FT Authorities have given
their take on the dangers of it...some folks just wanna keep up
with their own 'personal best' in the production n what have you.

Ok, off to buy more stuff!
:p

Oh, and we gonna need Farm 9 soon ~ juss sayin'
:D

I love all the new updates you did to my favorite game. One question though. When you go store your groceries. On top when it says pending , done . When you store all them and all of them showed they are stored. It well still so you have so many that are done. Where are they at? that is the only thing I can't figured out but I love the game and keep up the good work. You are the greatest.

They go into your storage when you store them, if that was what you were asking :)

I guess my question would be....why the heck do you care? Last time I checked there was no competition involved. This is one of those things that you just have to say...you can't change what someone else does, you can only change your reaction to it. If it bothers you that much, don't work for the "layerers" - we all get to play the game the way we want to. And remember - they DO risk messing up the farms they have worked so hard on. If you want to take comfort in that, there you go. Your leaving the game certainly isn't going to hurt them - that would be what my mother used to call "cutting off your nose to spite your face". Just sayin'...

It has been stated by the Mods and the developers that layering is not cheating so do not call people cheaters when they are not cheating.

I beg to differ. It states in the rules that layering is not allowed. IMO, if it's against the rules the offenders should be banned from the game.
