Thanks for the Update. However I am having issues with my last update. I noticed the rabbit hutch and Horses stable is not in the Facility Manager.

You will have to pull all the animals out of those, put the buildings into storage, refresh your farm and put the buildings back on farm. At least in the last update they cut the number of clicks required to place the animals back in the buildings.

More on cheese - having had problems with inadequate cheese production lately after acquiring the pasta restaurant, I took a couple of minutes to calculate what the daily cheese requirement is just for that one facility. And guess what? To produce one day's worth of everything in the pasta restaurant that uses cheese requires 72 cheese, and this is EXACTLY one day's output of the dairy facility. Now I think it's a bit ridiculous, that one dairy can produce only enough cheese to support one facility. Come on devs! I think you may have increased cheese production recently, but this is still WAY SHORT of what is needed. Please!

I have never had major problems when a new farm was released. I am not sure what your problems have been but they haven't been game wide problems.

Hey, Yall, I must be kinda slow, but I still haven't gotten up to speed on last 2 up-grades. Give me [and the Dev's] a break, Huh?

I had a teacher once who asked us 'Who knows enough to ask Questions'?

I don't!
Have a good day everyone.

But these current problems aren't even related to FT lol.

;) now you two are 'spoiling' my anticipation...lolol....just kidding. I never expect anything until it gets here. Not saying I don't hope, or kid around in here. With the stress I am under, the kind that you cannot get rid of or change, I enjoy pretending I live in here, and not in real life sometimes. I know it is pretend...but it helps. :)

First my name is not Jason, the 0 is a zero not a capital o and there is no n in my name. Second I rarely have time out issues in the game. The last time a new farm came out I was layering my farms while it came out. I had been working on that for about 40 minutes before it came out and layered for about 30 minutes after and had no problems what so ever.

I have never seen this happen before but the animals can do strange things. In the store or gift box they can have the picture of a cow for a chicken. Also the animals in the gift box like to move about the box and not stay in their box for that gift. It is just one of the few crazy quirks with the game.

I have 10 dairies, and 10 cow pens filled with 100 cows apiece. I never run out of cheese.

Hi there Athena.

These problems are due to a recent update release of Adobe flash player. Until Adobe releases a new version or a fix, there are a few few things you can try if you choose..........

If you're using another browser besides Chrome.. and have already updated flash, then you can uninstall flash, and install an older version of flash instead, they are still available on the adobe website, a google search should bring those up easily enough.

If you really cant bear to use another browser and the only issue that is irritating you is the display of words when hovering over an item like, the sea coasts or crops, try this......

Hover your mouse on the crop/ tree/water that you want to see the information for ( e.g percentage of growth or how many fish in the water). Zoom in with the wheel just one click. This usually brings the proper display into view. The trick is to NOT move the mouse while you do it. As soon as the mouse moves, it goes back to the vertical display.

Actually next update will bring us farm 11. Then one day it will be farm 12 and so on. That will enable us to produce more and to recieve more xp. But that`s it. Would be nice if some little quest would be implemented in the game and when fulfilling the quest you recieve something unique which you cannot buy and recieve as gift. This games get boring without any change. So far, all we do is seeding, harvesting and put things in our facilities or selling services and that`s all. Come on devellopers the facilities were once a good and new idea. Please bring up a newer idea. Little quests with a bonus afterwards would change the odd daily farming. I mean the 1001 new factory is nothing new...

hi there, the next farm will be released when the devs do the next update, when that will be exactly, only the devs know.

the issue you're having is due to the latest version of flash, you can work around it... read amberdh's post a few posts previous to this one, that'll explain the options :)

I wish they would come out with new levels and new farms soon. I am so tired of waiting that I dont play as much anymore. I guess I have just gotten bored with the game since I cant go up in levels cant earn farm cash and cant keep enough to supply my facalities. I loved most of the items on the last update. I think they could have done better than the design the farm together thing. I think that was a waste of creative engery. And please everyone realize that this is only my opinion. I had a guy last time tell me not to be rude. I am not being rude just stating my thoughts. Maybe there will be farm 11 and new levels soon. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!:)

Gee I only have around 20 of those and just got around 8 or so facilities from them as I can send stuff from those farms to my main farm. I only get around 20 or so million coins when they work my main farm. But I need to buy and sell around 300 to 400 things to get the 30 - 40 levels they need. One of those I just bought 4 facilities and one was a 35 FC one, however she has 150 million or so coins to buy and sell all those things

Hey! It's a game after-all

That is funny, I have the same, and even have the "super cows" on one farm, still run out of milk. Think it depends on what facilities you have and how many.

Now that's just bizarre. With 10 posts per page, they show up as post #10. When I changed to 40 posts per page to give you a screen cap, they move to post #14. Back to 10 posts per page, back to post #10.

Have a question-might have something to do with update not sure-just went to send out gifts and pictures of all animals were gone. Just circle with mark in it with animals name underneath. Do you suppose a new design is in the works for them?

Well it could be a few things. Flash is having issues and FB is rolling out new stuff, so it could be either of those, not necessarily FT.

I dont think this is related to flash, because i have the latest version of flash (v10.3) and use firefox (v3.6), and play this game thru myspace.
I've never seen the words go vertical etc like ppl are talking about.
The problem must be related to another browser or the fact they play on facebook, cause my latest flash version doesnt do any of that stuff

Verify that you have version 10.3.183.5. If not then you do not have the latest version.

The vertical words are without a doubt a problem of the latest version of Flash no matter what browser you are using. I uninstalled mine and went back to 10.3.181.34 and it works fine in all browsers. 10.3.181.35 is the version with the problem.

Are you kidding??? We don't want nor do we need quests. That is a Zynga scam as in FarmVille and CityVille, so go play them and you will get all the quests you will ever want. This game is a realistic, business oriented game, that is like running a real farming venture. The only thing that these Dev's have done so far to take it away from that is the stupid "Zynga-like" crop mastery thingy. The ONLY thing it has done for us, is throws continuous popups in our face while we are working on our farms. How RUDE is that. But anyway, this is the absolute BEST game on FaceBook today, and doesn't need and of the BS that Zynga is known for put into it.

GO PLAY FARMVILLE!!

You can do it in Chrome too, I did its just a little more work. You have to go in Under the Hood and drill down to the plug in section or just time Chrome\plugins in the address bar and disable Adobe Flash. There is an Uninstall Flash available at Adobe and as stated above you can get the previous version. Once you have uninstalled and installed the previous version go back in and you can Enable the previous version of Flash. Both versions are actually listed in mine and I have .35 disabled and .34 enabled and it works fine. The uninstall and install will actually fix all browsers that have been effected by the .35 update.

First all games on fb have quest not just Zynga games. Second I personally would like to see some quest added to the game. It gives people new things to do and more xps and coins. Now there is a way for FT to add quest without them being one on top of the other and having to request 50,000 things from your friends to finish them. There is a very happy medium that can make everyone happy and probably grow the number of players in this game. This game is losing players left and right and I think a big part of that is nothing new to do in the game. Two new regular facilities and 2 new service facilities once a month is not cutting it anymore. There are only so many crops you can grow and places to put things. There is a zynga game I play that had they not added the quest/goals to the game I probably would have stopped playing a year ago because it was getting old doing the same thing all the time. Even tho I get frustrated with the number of things going on at one time in that game sometimes I still play the game. We do need something new to change the game up a little bit. Again all games on fb have some type of quest or goals and most have way more players then FT, makes you wonder if the constant stream of new quest/goals has something to do with it. There have been many things people have said no do not add them to the game they are too much like Zynga but when FT added them they where done in a much better way then Zynga did them. Now the belts while a good idea was not completely thought out and missed the mark but they are still a good thing to have in the game because of the extra crops.

I agree about the quests...but the bonuses are a godsend!! It is a way to get more crops if you run out...or fruit or whatever! I love it! I do my best to rotate crops and keep track of things, but sometimes I still run out...it is so nice to go and get extra wheat or sunflowers or onions, since they are not quick crops. The same for the asking for ingredients...nice neighbors send things you are out of, and they get what they may be out of. I get frustrated with those few neighbors who don't use them...cuts down on my "goodies"...:D

totally agree with you!
and no NO GUEST OR GOALS!!!!!!!! they are annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i HATE TO DO THAT!. please developers no quests please ;) the game is just fine like this :) all the games with quests i dont play or dont play much because of that. most of the times they are impossible to do! and it brings more frustration. dont like that.
i like to play how i want, not to play how a quest wants me to play. i like my freedom. :)

if you want to add something new, add then mini games like gem swap and as a price some extra ingedrients, crops, money or xp. then you dont have to play it. but only when you feel like it. i know games who have that. like happy pets,farmandia. you can earn money or items with it.

Can anyone help me with the writing on my farms? The text has disappeared and is now vertical instead of horizontal. I don't even know if this is the right page to comment about it on but there doesn't seem to be a dedicated page to it so maybe I'm the only one with this problem. It causes problems when I hover over my animal sheds so I don't know if they are ready for milking/shearing etc. And when I hover over my crops I can't see if they're ready. What's going on? Please help.

Please help.Hi, this problem is affecting a lot of us at the moment. It is a problem with the latest adobe flash player. You can try hovering the mouse over the building and zooming in one click , that sometime makes the writing appear

Jas0643 has some very good points. I too see a lot of my neighbors not playing anymore and these are level 200+ players in some cases. Months ago I was asked to work on 5+ farms each night by my neighbors. The number of newer players seems to be steady. I love FT and enjoy the game as a release from all the pressure of my job and life in general. I buy a lot of FC because I can afford it and I appreciate the game developers efforts. I actually look forward to coming home and farming. And im very thankful for this creation. I spend a couple hours a night keeping things up on my farms.

That said, I think the one thing that needs to be done, besides more levels, is after say level 300 you should be able to buy AS MANY FARMS UP TO SAY THE 15TH FARM, as you can. There are no leader boards and no competition so fairness is not an issue. You can only have one farm loaded at a time so it wont be a drag on any server. But this would allow those who want to round out their operations to do so with out waiting for months years to do so. AND it would provide a lot of revenue to take the game to the next level whatever, and where ever that is. The slow steady approach is fine in the begining but now, when we get new facilitys, most of us have no room for them and have to jam them on a farm. The farms get cluttered and its frustrating. This GAME is a business for the developers just like any other business. Yes, to us it is a game. But to THEM it is a business. Rule 1 in any business is "when people are standing there with cash in hand SELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT....WHEN THEY WANT IT"....if you ask them to come back in a few months, they probably wont. They are losing a lot of revenue when a player parks his farms and moves on to other games. As for a quest, I would hope that as the player works toward a goal, a free farm or special facilities could be a quest of sorts.

I do have a question I think I read that it takes as long for a crop to wither as it does to grow is this correct? We will be going on vacation and I was planning on planting 4 day crops as we will be back in 5-6 days not sure if we will have wifi but don't think so.

I may be nuts but this morning I discovered that it all depends on where you have your farms (How close or how far with the + or - keys) as ti weather you have the 3 letters vertical or full information on crops fish etc. Like I said I may b nuts but check it out bring it inn with the + or - keys at a certain point the full discription appears and stays hope this works for you all and you can move around on the farm and it stays

:eek:,,,,,,,,,,:eek:,,,,,,,,,,:eek:

Bring it on !!

I have enough coin to buy 4, maybe 5 more farms right now..... and if I tried, I could make about $2-3 Billion each month

but I prefer re-designing, buying stuff (not just facilities and plants) and "playin' around" with the game along with the plant/harvest/plow etc.

And I have discovered that I am a bit of a "hoarder' too... duh. I try to maintain a large (!) inventory of whatever I need.... like 50,000 of some things, and 100,000 of others ... hehehehehe:D


now, back to your idea.... I vote for releasing multiple farms to higher levels.

Level 235 gets 1 farm
Level 275 gets 2 farms
Level 325 gets 3 farms.....

and with a decent release of new levels requiring lots of points to attain, well... some will get the multiple farms, others will get them in short order.

my vote is no quests. I would like games to get something extra though. i quit all the other games because i didn't want my begging all over my fb page. I do have a question I think I read that it takes as long for a crop to wither as it does to grow is this correct? We will be going on vacation and I was planning on planting 4 day crops as we will be back in 5-6 days not sure if we will have wifi but don't think so.

First on the crops. A farm town day is 20 hours not 24 hours so a four day crop will go to wast in 160 hours or 6.667 24 hour days. If you are gone 5 days you are fine if you are gone 6 days it will be cutting it close. Now if you have the acorn squash unlocked that is a 5 day crop and it will last 200 hours or 8.33 days. If the acorn squash is not unlocked you can take your changes with the 4 day crops if you make it home in time you have the 4 days crops for the facilities if not just plow over them and plant something else.

Now on the quest there are ways of doing them without posting 10,000 things to your walls. This is where the happy medium comes in. There can be quest that say grow x crop y times. Tend 10 neighbors farms. Get hired 4 times by neighbors or in the mp. Produce x products in facilities. We can have goals where we add neighbors to help us that way if we don't have the needed facility and they do they can produce that product for us. The quest/goals can have some asking for things from people but that does not mean it will be the way Zynga does it which is you have to request 1,000 things to finish the goal and good luck getting it done. There are ways to do things that add to the game without going the zynga route. When people where asking for harvestable animals and to put them in buildings everyone said the same thing no that is too much like farmville but when ft added those options it was done in a much better way then the way zynga did them.

evening!

I would just like to tell you that I do like the idea of being able to sort crops when planting from least to highest, but would there be a way of seeing the actual amount? Like you see in storage.
As for quests, not sure I would like that... that is why I hardly play all the other games because there is so much of this and that... send this send that... I like this game because I can do my stuff and interact with my neighbors.. without the quests..

Hello,
With the seed filter set to "stored amount" just hover your mouse over the picture of the seed, it will tell you how many you have.

if quests are added i am one that won't participate. that's the reason i quit zynga. i know my friends can block the posts asking for items but most don't know about hiding games. i think it's kind of intrusive to them to clog up the walls with request posts. i find it annoying but i blocked them so i don't have to scroll thru a million requests on my wall to just read updates from all my fb friends. that is the reason i came back to FT. i like that it's a bit more low key. i can interact with my neighbors when they are on their farms and when i don't have farming time i don't have to be concerned with it either. i do have most of my neighbors that no longer play FT move on to other games. so although i have a lot of neighbors, very few actually participate in the game anymore. :( it is a challenge to get my facilities worked on sometimes. but, i love the game. with there were more levels. i've been at the top for awhile. when they add new ones i'm already at the new highest. maybe if it was done more often there would be that challenge of achieving new goals for those of us peaked out.

I dont think this is related to flash, because i have the latest version of flash (v10.3) and use firefox (v3.6), and play this game thru myspace.
I've never seen the words go vertical etc like ppl are talking about.
The problem must be related to another browser or the fact they play on facebook, cause my latest flash version doesnt do any of that stuff

Nope, it's definitely the update. Mine was working fine last night and this morning I installed the Flash update and the words went vertical. So I restored my system back to yesterday and everything fine now. Has to be the update.

Aug 13 2011, 11:22 PM
Actually next update will bring us farm 11. Then one day it will be farm 12 and so on. That will enable us to produce more and to recieve more xp. But that`s it. Would be nice if some little quest would be implemented in the game and when fulfilling the quest you recieve something unique which you cannot buy and recieve as gift. This games get boring without any change. So far, all we do is seeding, harvesting and put things in our facilities or selling services and that`s all. Come on devellopers the facilities were once a good and new idea. Please bring up a newer idea. Little quests with a bonus afterwards would change the odd daily farming. I mean the 1001 new factory is nothing new...

I am not in favor of the quests at all. This is why I quit Mafia, Pirates and Vampires. As it is they have added the "Get Bonus" and "Send Ingredients" to clutter up our walls ... which is not entirely a bad thing since we get stuff too ... they just need to remove the limit on it.

I don't post them unless it is something I really need, because I have figured out if enough people click on the ones I post, that goes to my 12-hour limit and then I can't receive a bonus from clicking on something someone has posted that I really need.

The vertical text was because you installed the new version of flash. Flash's latest version has caused that problem the only fix for now it to go back to an older version or wait for flash to fix it. What you did by going back is what fixed it, it is not anything ft has done to the game.

Yes, I know that ... that is what I said . . . it is definitely the update (the Adobe update). And it was easier and faster for me to restore my system to before the installation of the update than to uninstall and reinstall Flash.

:eek: NO NO NO Quests whatsoever...I for one will quit and I have spent over 6 or 700 bucks in a year and a half and have all the facilities in multiples just to let you know I have loved the game. I quit cafe world and farmville for the same reasons. It doesn't work to depend on someone else for your own success at gaining anything in a game, and depend is the key word or held back because you don't participate in a certain quest UH UH NOPE. Bonus and send ingredients are fine cuz you're not obliged to do it and u can take it or leave it but Quests will make many many players disappear....I guarantee it. :mad:

Well then you would be happy to go play a zynga game then where you will have to depend on your neighbors for your success or demise. I for one will not play anymore if that were the case. I've worked too hard and spent hundreds of dollars on my game..all on my own the way the developers intended. As it is our neighbors can help in our facilities and with bonuses and send ingredients. That is all fine because our success or demise doesn't count on our neighbors...it depends on us only so NO QUESTS. That's the reason i play no Zynga games anymore. Slashkey rocks the house!!!:)

Can we have the option of seeing what percent items are at or have items such as trees highlighted or something. Seeing PEA or COC for Peach tree and Cocoa tree is really not what I like to see. I can't tell how many fish are left half the time. I can't tell when the trees need picked. I could care less what trees they are I would rather now at a glace what the percent of harvest the item is or how many fish are left in my pond then to know what the items are. Also I don't need reminded 2 Million times over and over that I can't see my decorations.

Totally agree with the quest junk. So sick of playing games with those. One reason I stopped playing other farm games. It's a farm game not a Building game and begging gets old real fast. When you go to quest is when I stop playing just like I did to the other Farm game.

This problem doesn't have anything to do with Farm Town. It was a new Adobe Flash release this week that has caused the problem with the text.

To be able to make decent farms again like I used to have I need at least 5 more farms. As I read with the current farms we can only add a certain amount of facilities. In the end what I did so my farms 1 thru 9 look reasonable I just put all my facilities on farm 10. It looks like a DUMP I hate it. I would love to have 3 farms (which might not be called farms) but Towns - Commercial Centres and Industrial Centers where you can plant your Restaurants in the Town (farm) the Facilities that produce revenue (shops etc) in the Commercial Centres and then the Facilities like shoe factory etc etc in the Industrial Center. On these Centers I would suggest no crops would be able to grow only flowers and trees to make it look nice and there could be roads traced before hand so that we can line our facilities according to a road map plan. Then we could use our Farms for farming and not have to clutter them with facilities. Now my facilities are so close to one another they look like dumps. I am ashamed of my number 10 farm which is a real dump.
So please Farm Town Developers think about this idea.

Just my opinion, but I kinda like the idea, Just don't have the streets already drawn. that would be too much 'government'.
I do get kinda tired of the game loading when I am working someone else's farm, I have to go to many farms to work all the facilities, so having the Industrial Centers would help.

With factories, we cannot have more than one on each farm. If we could have multiples on each farm, then all of our factories could be on one farm [or two], so we wouldn't have to go to many, and take the time loading up, and figuring out which farm the 'work' is on.

Having farmland around the 'Industrial Centers' would not be bad, but would there be enough room for it. And these could be planted in flowers, [we can plant sunflowers and lavender] if one wanted, so please don't 'outlaw' the planted fields.

Too many 'rules' spoil any game.

Maybe having one 'Indusrtial Park' for each 5 farms wouldn't be bad. Say when we bought our 5th farm, then the 'industrial' park was a 'bonus' that comes with it. then the 10th farm comes with another farm 'bonus', and so on.
Maybe, before the 5th farm, then factories could be placed anywhere.

Just want to add my own 2 cents to the outcry over "quests". The day I can't buy a facility with coins or farm cash but instead have to depend on neighbors to help me "build" it will be my last day on FarmTown, despite the fact that I have spent much time and real money on the game. Don't do this, please. People who want to do this should all decamp for Farmville (there's a bus leaving for there in 15 minutes at the corner of "ante up" and "beg your neighbors"). This would absolutely ruin the game, and I hope developers have gotten this message loud and clear. No quests, no way. Thanks. :)

There were only three games I played on Farcebook: FARM TOWN the first one I started playing in 2009. Afterwards I was introduced to FARMVILLE and COUNTRY LIFE. I spend hours on all three games. Then they introduced quests in Farmville where I had to beg my neighbours to send me planks etc and also at that time Country Life started irrigating the farm and you had to request 60 pipes or something to install the system. That is when I quit both FARMVILLE and COUNTRY LIFE. I hate having to beg for stuff when I have enought coins and Farm Cash to pay for them. So please don't put in Quests as that would ruin the game and I would stop playing. But please consider adding a Commercial Farm - Industrial Farm - Restaurant Farm so we can make nice little towns with all our facilities and not have to bunch everything together so that it looks like a DUMP. I used to have such lovely farms now they don't look too good and I'm ashamed of Farm 10 where I put all my facilities. I had to bunch them all together and it looks like a DUMP one big DUMP. Please help us out.

Can we have the option of seeing what percent items are at or have items such as trees highlighted or something. Seeing PEA or COC for Peach tree and Cocoa tree is really not what I like to see. I can't tell how many fish are left half the time. I can't tell when the trees need picked. I could care less what trees they are I would rather now at a glace what the percent of harvest the item is or how many fish are left in my pond then to know what the items are. Also I don't need reminded 2 Million times over and over that I can't see my decorations.

In reply to this Mags-Z..it is the new version of flash that is to blame for this. Last night I re-installed my windows with a backup i had from June 28th and presto, with an older version of flash, I can now see all my crops what they are..how many, what percent they are..it's all back, therefore confirming that it is the new version of flash to blame. I don't know what to do about it myself but maybe the devs of FT can get some kind of results from Adobe to get it fixed. Maybe we'll get an update on flash in the next couple days fixing this issue. Fingers crossed. :)

Just want to add my own 2 cents to the outcry over "quests". The day I can't buy a facility with coins or farm cash but instead have to depend on neighbors to help me "build" it will be my last day on FarmTown, despite the fact that I have spent much time and real money on the game. Don't do this, please. People who want to do this should all decamp for Farmville (there's a bus leaving for there in 15 minutes at the corner of "ante up" and "beg your neighbors"). This would absolutely ruin the game, and I hope developers have gotten this message loud and clear. No quests, no way. Thanks. :)

Yep ...What she said....:D:D:D:D

Has Zynga copywrited the word "quest" or something? I feel like the pro-quest and anti-quest people are talking past each other. I have no desire to beg neighbors (especially since I only have one active neighbor!), but surely that is not the only way to add new goals to the game, which I think is all the pro-quest folks want.

This problem doesn't have anything to do with Farm Town. It was a new Adobe Flash release this week that has caused the problem with the text.

Thanks all I thought it was a new thing Slashkey did with those stupid letters coming up. I just got a new upgrade from Adobe hopefully that was a fix for this problem. And Slashkey please I like the game. Making Quest to do will make me hate this game. And I spend plenty on this game. Just saying.

Not sure but I run Google Chrome to run all my games. And according to Adobe I have the latest flash update for it. Still I see ACO and COC and COW on stuff instead of the Percentage of being done. Google Chrome handles the flash games better than does IE or FF.

Hmm....I have a lot of facilities and I honestly don't feel that my farms look like "dumps". I have them scattered about on some farms, grouped together on others, and I manage to plant plenty of crops. I guess it all depends on what you want out of the game, and every person plays it differently. One kind of neat thing that Country Life did (I don't play it any more) was that they had zones that went around the edges that you put your facilities on. That was kind of neat. And I'll never forget the bee hives *smile*. You plant clover and when it's ready the bees automatically go out and pollinate it and then make honey...then you feed the clover to the cow and make milk. A couple of touches that were unique. That aside, I am loyal to FarmTown...and I truly hope we don't get to the point of having to ask neighbors for items as the only way of getting something. As an option...maybe...but only if you can still acquire anything that is available using coins or farmcash. Happy farming...

That is what the problem is. You have the latest update and the problem is being caused by that update. Instead of going backward your best bet is to search for Flash Player 11 beta, download and install the one that applies for all browsers other than IE.That will fix both Chrome and FF. That will also fix the problem.

sounds a lot like a Zynga game

absolutely phythonis.. and we all know how people feel about that.

Rooster: I would hate to see this awesome game go in that direction. The Devs did introduce a quest of sorts.. call the belts system.. and look how that ended up! The Devs cant win for trying alot of the time and it must be hard trying to suit everyone. I love the game the way it is!

Just because quest are added to the game does not mean they will be to build buildings. That is one way to do a quest there are 1000s of ways to do quest without spamming our friends walls, and begging for stuff to build something. Just because that is the way zynga does them does not mean that is how ft has to do them. About a year and a half ago the most requested thing for the game was harvesting of animals. Tons of people had the opinion you have about quest that is too much like zynga and didn't want stupid little marks over their animals or want to have to click on each one to harvest them, it would be too time consuming and too much like fv. Well did the developers listen yes they did. They gave everyone what they wanted. They gave us a way to harvest the animals and didn't add the stupid symbol over their head or require us to click on each animal. There are other things that FT has added that people said no too much like zynga but the way ft did them was much better and made everyone happy. The only misstep the developers have had along this line is the belts. Not adding the belts but making them way to easy to obtain so you had all those pop ups and posting when they first came out. The idea was a great one just not very well thought out. There are ways to add quest and goals to the game without going the zynga route and can add some fun and enjoyment to the game.

Has Zynga copywrited the word "quest" or something? I feel like the pro-quest and anti-quest people are talking past each other. I have no desire to beg neighbors (especially since I only have one active neighbor!), but surely that is not the only way to add new goals to the game, which I think is all the pro-quest folks want.

Exactly what I have been trying to get everyone to see. Here is an example of a quest/goal that could be added to the game.

Par 1.

Harvest 500 wheat fields
Tend 5 neighbors farms
Max out 2 products in a regular facility.

Reward 1000xps and 50,000 coins

Part 2.

Harvest 500 corn.
Tend 10 neighbors farms.
Max out 2 products in a service facility.

Reward 1000xps and 1000 cow milk.

Part 3

Harvest 500 tomatoes.
Work 5 neighbors facilities.
Catch 50 fish of any kind.

Reward 1000xps and 1000 onions.

This is a way to give people more xps, coins and some extra crops and would require no posting on our walls or begging people for parts to build stuff. There can be an option to post that we finished a part of the goal and let our friends get some kind of bonus from it but like the belt bonuses it will not be required of us to post them just an option.

that will work in theory if all we have to do to tend to neighbours is click in there to weed or water the farm at the prompt.. if there had to be any other work done on the farm then it wouldnt work.. many people say they dont have that many active neighbours anymore.. but if its just the weeding or watering required then it will work because the farm stays there and still produces the prompt for us to weed or water whether they are active anymore or not. not a bad idea overall

The general rule of thumb with farm town is 'it'll be here when it's here!', but, as Tony says, we should be heading for an update of levels quite soon. I'm going to be away at the end of the week for a short time, so you can bet that's when they will turn up :D

For the first time since the game started all of the green lights of my level 235++ neighbours are on at the same time and for a long time ! We are so busy now and most days we hardly chat trying to keep up with the math involved in facilities :D

New levels?? Like another 40K XP to level up each one? Good grief!! Makes me wonder ....is there a "slow season" in the game? Bwwaaaahahahaha! NOT!

Amen to that. I personally would love to have quests. It keeps the game interesting and motivates me to come on and try to complete them. In addition to what Jas suggests, perhaps it would help people to not think of them like "quests", but "achievements", which we already have. IMO Slashkey has ignored what could be a significant part of the game by not adding on to the 15 trophies we have now. That trophy section should be completely redesigned and enhanced to include many more quests/achievements/goals/trophies/whatever you want to call them. Upon completion of a trophy, give us a bonus such as coins, exp, more crops, a decoration that can't be purchased or gifted, etc. I really don't get why people are so stuck on the idea that the word "quest" means spamming people's walls all the time. Yes, that's what Zynga does, but that doesn't have to apply to Slashkey.

I'm guessing that because i chose to stay on FF 3.6 instead of keeping the
FF 4 series is why i was never offered the version of flash thats causing trouble.
I hated Firefox 4 and rolled back to 3.6.
Every time i restart my computer, and a new version of flash is available, it is offered as soon as my pc boots up.
So im guessing 10.3.181.26 is the newest automatically offered version for
FF 3.6.
Im not messing with a new flash version if one is offered again for awhile.

Well just before the last update I was switched from W-31 to W33 but now for the last week I have been back on W31. Dunno if that means anything. I actually wish I was still on W33 had less trouble viewing people in the market.

Are you kidding??? We don't want nor do we need quests. That is a Zynga scam as in FarmVille and CityVille, so go play them and you will get all the quests you will ever want. This game is a realistic, business oriented game, that is like running a real farming venture. The only thing that these Dev's have done so far to take it away from that is the stupid "Zynga-like" crop mastery thingy. The ONLY thing it has done for us, is throws continuous popups in our face while we are working on our farms. How RUDE is that. But anyway, this is the absolute BEST game on FaceBook today, and doesn't need and of the BS that Zynga is known for put into it.

GO PLAY FARMVILLE!!


I agree on no quests if they involve begging neighbors or having help from neighbors that we have to go beg them to help us...If you want to do quests or some such make it something we can accomplish on our own. Or accomplish with the help from friends unknown to the friend that they are helping. I left Farmville because of all the garbage they put on there and the constant begging for stuff. I came back here and intend on staying....I have invested some money in this game. Thank you!!!! :)

well the problem with 4 was they moved too many things around to different spots and i had to re-mesmerize where alot of things were. They put some right-click menu items out of order, and i had to download way too many plug-in's just to make version 4 more like what i wanted about 3, but it still wasnt the same.
They also boasted about how much faster 4 was than 3, and in my opinion, it was way slower. they added too much garbage to 4 that bogged it down, so i reverted back to 3.6 and decided to stay with it.

No Adobe Flash 11 is a beta version that does fix it so you can see the text in horizontal as opposed to vertical. To find it you have to search for Flash Player 11 beta. It will be on Adobe's web site so only go to the one from them.

This is an Adobe Flash glitch and not a Farm Town generated problem. Look in the Display Issues thread for solutions/workarounds. Read the posts toward the end of that thread and not the first post for this.

I love farm town and I'm just hoping that you don't become too much like farmville and cityville. I love the realistic look you have.

Also, I just have been noticing lately that your new facilities have more to do cities than farming.

Can you develop more items for the farming part of Farmtown?

I really love this game, have put money into it and I'm wondering if you are moving in a "complicated" direction (like Mafia Wars). I hope you remember the little people who just love to "veg out" in front of the computer after a long day at work, want something fun and simple.

Again, I LOVE Farmtown!

Thank you for your time.

When I loaded FT, I was asked if I wanted to harvest a neighbor's farm and earn 1 FC. Is this new? It's set up similar to working facilities.

I was hoping that on the next update there will be a 'start all' button for all the 'get client referral' facilities. I know they are trying to think of ways to get as much money out of us as possible... but it would be nice if they would give us something that makes our life a lot easier for free at least once in awhile. I don't even want to know how much I have spent on FT... but I know that the amount of time I spend on it makes most of it worth it. I am getting tired of continually having to spend money and keep thinking it will be my last time, but so far I have decided to 're-invest'. I know there are people who will tell me to leave or not buy anything if I don't like it, but every time they give us a new update.... they ALWAYS charge us coin for stuff that makes it faster... can anyone guess why? I am just ranting right now and I am sure I will be okay in the morning... thanks for reading my thoughts. By the way... this is my first time posting in here so I don't even know if I am doing it right... but I think I will get my message across even if I didn't.

JennaSweetness

I'm not sure how I will know????

You have to post an ingredients request or post a request for your neighbors to help in facilities. When the screen pops up you have to go to the lock and hit customize. Once you do that you click on the drop down box and hit specific friends and then type in whatever you called your list of friends for Farm Town. Hit save and then post. Go to your profile wall and see if it posted to your Farm Town List by hovering your mouse over the lock.

susme48
Aug 17 2011, 04:56 PM
Well, the other upgrades did not have nearly as many posts or pages as this one does...as if that mattered...lol Somehow I doubt that posts speed up or slow down any of the developers...I'd say it was the amount of work it takes to get things running 'smoothly' on their newer versions and the integration into this one, and only then would they release the update. There may be deadlines of a sort, or guesstimates, as to how long they want things to take, but since real life, or at least mine, is filled with pitfalls, roadblocks and Murphey's Law...I imagine, that has a large variable built into it. Not that I am not as anxious as anyone else for farm 11 and any other wonderful possibilities that they may grant us...cause I am totally sitting on pins and needles hoping for it to be soon...but I know how much work simple graphics work is, and how time consuming it is...can only imagine how tough it is to make a game like this!

Hello,

Currently there is no definitive answer i can give you for harvest/product storage, as we have not been told, the criteria varies between the amount stored and how many different types and sizes stored, but you will receive a warning pop up which tells you when you are nearing it's capacity advising you to use or sell some of the produce.

When I loaded FT, I was asked if I wanted to harvest a neighbor's farm and earn 1 FC. Is this new? It's set up similar to working facilities.

This has been around for a while. It is the Farm Cash Challenge (designed to bring back inactive players I think) Anyway, everyone has the opportunity to earn up to 30 Farm cash by inviting people from a specific list to come work your farm. For each FC they earn, you get one also. Once you earn 30 FC, you can no longer invite people, but I think others might be able to invite you.

You can get one FC for harvesting any amount of fields, flowers or trees. You can get two FC if you work any facilities. You can move about their farms to locate something needing to be done.

It would be so nice if, when you had a facility open, and hovered over a product, it would show how much of the product you already had stored (as you can in the market for seeds). It would be a terrific aid in deciding whether or not to produce more of it, without having to go back and forth between the facility manage and storage, as is necessary now.

I produce everything I have the stuff to produce even if I don't need any of that product. I went in this past weekend and for the first time did a major sell off of stuff I had tons of. I had gone in and some some things I know I had way too much of but not everything before. I had a lot of products that would let me start a bunch of stuff 100 times or more. I had enough waffle cones to start over 1000 loads in the ice cream shop. I made almost 500,000,000 coins doing this. All those things you make way more then you need really add up and can help out a lot when you are trying to save up for a new farm.

I do know that the Dev's of this game earn kuddo's from everyone on such a great game. But.... they DID NOT fix the Flash problem and the way it effected the text in FarmTown. We all know that it was Adobe's problem from the start, but after Adobe fixed it, the new FireFox took the change and ran with it fine, but Google Chrome has flash integrated into their product. So if you followed all the instructions posted this week about upgrading your Chrome to the new beta version and make it swallow the new flash pill, you had it working already, as I did. But today Google finally upgraded Chrome and when you opened it it was already downloaded and updated ready for you. That is why good ole FarmTown is back to it's great self. <edited for content..>. hahaha, okay, I am done.

We all know that it was Adobe's problem from the start, but after Adobe fixed it, the new FireFox took the change and ran with it fine, but Google Chrome has flash integrated into their product. So if you followed all the instructions posted this week about upgrading your Chrome to the new beta version and make it swallow the new flash pill, you had it working already, as I did. But today Google finally upgraded Chrome and when you opened it it was already downloaded and updated ready for you. That is why good ole FarmTown is back to it's great self. <edited for content..> hahaha, okay, I am done.

Actually the devs fixed the game to work around the flash problem before flash fixed the bug in their release.
