Crib
Changing Table w/ Pad
Umbrella Stroller

12. Gym (Coins): This is a Service Facility that can be stocked with the products below:

Dumbbells

14. Bug Fixes/Improvements:

- The Language Dropdown Selector in the Map Window now shows common used languages on top
- When you are putting items in the farm (from item storage, gift box, etc) and the category for that item is hidden you get a warning message. This way you will not be lost questioning why the item dissapeared.
- When sending gifts and using the 'Facebook Friend Lists' option, there are no popups now when asking for permissions, this way there will be less issues with browsers and popup blockers
- When switching Stable views to the larger Stable the facility manager sometimes was showing ”no animals to harvest at this time”, this has been fixed
- Friend Activity panel at the bottom of the game now eliminates a lot of duplicate content.
- Help Links are now functioning in Firefox 7.01+
- You can now laod baits into tackle shop even if you still have baits in harvest storage. Reminder: As of 2 weeks ago, you should not have any more NEW baits in storage, baits from farming plant (and tackle shop when working for others) goes directly to the bait counters.
- 'Follow Avatar when walking' option in the preference window removed, was causing more trouble than benefit. The functionality was also disabled in the game.

(All service facilities are now covered by tools)

Thanks

--Raul


Post Release Fixes - Nov 17, 7:15PM EST:

- Exchange Gift / Send Gift Back now shows a radio button below the gifts like the send gift page, so people can click it to select animals
- Quick fix for Friend Selector Dialog in Firefox and Chrome browsers, this was a Facebook issue but we found a temporal workaround in the meantime
- Belts for fish are now fixed

Post Release Fixes - Nov 24, 1:50AM EST:

- Checkboxes in regular facilities and services facilities are now separate, for example, you can now have your baits checked in your fish farming plant but unckeck in the fishing tackle shop

- When putting items in the farm (from item storage, gift box, etc) and the category for that item is hidden you get a warning message but you are allowed to continue if you want

- There is a new preference option to 'Show/Hide Seasonal Items', so you can now hide all seasonal items at once

- The herding minigame can now be played in multiplayer-mode, once you challenge all farmers in the farm and people join the game, the one who complete all 3 stages first win, prizes coming soon

Post Release Fixes - Nov 25, 11:00PM EST:

The 'Send Gift Back' is now working again when accepting gifts the old way (through facebook instead of the My Requests tab in farmtown)

Known Issues - Nov 24, 1:50AM EST:

No known issues in this release

Well I certainly appreciate the new levels,the new farm and new facs.. but whoever buggered up the gift giving systems needs to be horsewhipped. I mean.. the innovation from the last update worked PERFECTLY.. the way the neighbors were listed by their involvement in the game, the way we could send the friends who helped us the first gifts.. EVERYTHING!! and now.. it is just a horrible big mess.. who decided that "preview" of gifts was a good idea? Now I can't even SEE the lists and it won't scroll down...the neighbors are just all scrambled. THIS IS A HORRIBLE DEED TO A PERFECT THING! boo hiss.

I got my new farm upgraded to 24x24. Expensive, but what was I saving the money for anyway, right? :)

Just need to go back to work now. Thanks for the new stuff, you guys did a great job!

I love it. Like Christmas came early. Thank you for all work you keep putting in this game. I also noticed a problem with the gifting. But I also noticed I can't scroll down on other games when trying to send gifts so it may be a facebook glitch. I will wait and see. Again thank you and now off to play

Hi

does the tab say you have 48 when on your farm or your gift box?

Try clicking the my requests tab again the 48 should go away.

Did you remember to accept the gift after you exchanged it? That's a critical step, and one you could easily overlook.

Thanks for the great updates, I bought the works, everything seems to work just find, except the armored truck; I can't find anyplace to click on that gives me "Cash out on all service facilities at once." Is that implemented yet and if so where is the click on it ???

For the animals you have to click on the name of the animal instead of the picture.
This has been this way since the release of the new gift system. Raul, this needs to be fixed please!!

As in all the Tools of this type and specially like the Purple Forklift it is used through the Facility Manager. There is now a new button at the top of the Facility Manager for Cash Out All next to the Store All.

When sending gifts the selection box does not expand to show all possible people to select. Can only see first three to select - top row.

Also, gift exchange not working at all. Only get what was sent!

Totally inadequate levels!
We desperately need more levels. 100 would not be too many.
NOW, not in another 2 months.
This is becoming a major issue and making game playing unpleasant!
When I started I got approx. a level a day but now as an advanced user I only get a level every 3 days at this rate no matter how many XP I have. I have millions of XP beyond the max level but get NOTHING for them.
Terrible - no reward for continuing to play!!!
Help with 100 MORE LEVELS VERY SOON!
This would be the most important update you could make, PERIOD!

my big sea coasts should have been ready to fish again at the same time my small lake and big lake with boat iare ... but they were not .. 3 hours later they still are not ready ... these are suppose to be ready every 8 hours ... so did something happen so they are acting like the other ones that are every 24 hours ??? ugh !! other than that everything else seems to be working fine ... other than the gift thing is messed up .. can return gifts at all ... ugh !! thanks so much for the new far mand more elvels .. just wished it was more than 25 at a time .. since u cant buy any of the tools for 25 FC u receive for the 25 levles ...and if u are at the top like i am .. no chance of leveling up to get more FC .. and i sure cant use REAL moneys to buy FC .. i can barely buy food at the moment .. so sure cant spend REAL money on a game ..

Nov 16 2011, 05:41 AM
Very happy with the latest releases - now I can do my service facilities easier too! Just something that is puzzling - Ear Syringe Ball in a baby shop??? Do people really use these? I find it quite bizarre - especially as I was a nurse and a midwife (retired now). I should think these are positively dangerous - OK I KNOW this isnt real but the Devs must have got the idea from somewhere!

This is the only game I cannot gift in, as of today. After you click on a gift to send, the names of my FB friends never loads. I can, however, return any gifts I have gotten from others.

My fish appear to have belts to certain levels, but I fished my tuna with it saying that I only needed another three catches to the blue belt, and when I'd fished a whole lot more tuna than that, it still says I need three to the blue belt. So ... appears not to be working for me at this stage.

rposer@googlemail.com
Nov 16 2011, 06:44 AM
... sorry to say, but this update is for nothing:

facilities ... again and again
farms ... now number 12, which means additional hours of clicking
new tools: finally service facilities are easier to handle... that is what we expected

Any new things which make the game interessting? nope ...

update time? Sorry folks, but having to wait for this minor stuff 1 month must be a joke!

I spent now my last Farmcash (that I had) on the service facility tools, but won`t buy new cash in the future. No fun factor anymore, sorry folks... FC only for new inventions

Nov 16 2011, 06:49 AM
Woohoo! thank you for the update!! I purchased farm 12 and upgraded it to 18x18. won't be able to mess around with anything else till i get home from work. on the plus side i can mss with it all day tomorrow too as i am off :)

to the poster who dais they weren't going to play until sugar and cheese were increased-- do what a lot of the rest of us have done, put dairy plants and sugar refineries on as many farms as you (cow barns too if needed) i currently have 10 farms with dairy production and at least 5 with sugar. (11 farms with cow barns if i recall too)

First, Thank You for the update. Looks like it will be fun. However, right now I too, seem to be having some minor glitches, and it just may be that the update hasn't fully reached everyone or all of the servers.

3 areas of concern---:confused:

When I first logged into Farm Town this morning, there was a pop-up that basically said "Request for Permission" Farm Town is requesting permission to do the following? Publish games & app activity ....yada, yada,
Then there were two boxes. Allow Don't Allow I clicked on the "Don't Allow", but now I don't know whether that was correct or not.
I saw one other post on previous page asking about the same thing. Sure would appreciate one of the mods responding to this.

I am not able to send gifts at all. The gift page opens and the pop up box loads but then is blank with no way to get either Face Book friends or Farm Friends to come up.

My fish belts don't seem to be working either. I checked my belts and bonuses in my facility box before I started fishing and it said I needed 5 lobster to get the first belt. I went & fished and caught several lobsters, way more than 5, and now it says I need 4. This was also true on several other fish. Just reporting to see if there is a glitch or update not completely rolled out yet.

Thanks in advance for all the help the mods give us!!!:D

Thanks for the new stuff :) ... love the new tools :D ....

I don't understand the gripes about not enough cheese , sugar etc .... I put sugar and dairy factories on 3 farms .. and have wool barns, hen houses and dairy stables on almost every farm so I would not run out of the raw goods ...

Then I just filled the factories for sugar and cheese and didn't use any for about a week to build up a storage .....

AND I went thru all my factories and unchecked 'some' products so my cheese and sugar would not be used for EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT that utilizes them and now I have a good storage of both and can keep up with the production needs ...

You don't HAVE to fill every factory full > every day > multiple times ??? If people would just decide to build up a stock of supplies and take a little time off from loading factories to build up 'storage' the problem of running out would be solved ;) ...

Thanks again for all the new stuff ...

Why won't my screen follow my avaitar anymore. It worked until you added the new mini games. And When I try to harvest, plow,or chop my tools move all over the screen which is VERY annoying and takes me forever to finish working on someone elses farm. I've tried using full screen, but that doesn't solve the issues. I love farm town and I've been playing for about 3 yrs. But an thinking about giving it up if this isn't fixed.

'Follow Avatar when walking' option in the preference window removed, was causing more trouble than benefit. The functionality was also disabled in the game.

All my bait for fishing is gone. I haven't emptied the fish farm yet this morning but I had plenty of bait yesterday. Now none for fresh or salt water. What's up? otherwise, thank you for the new goods!

Ok now I see it is only the salt water bait. I emptied my fish farm and still no bait. I suppose it is remotely possible that I used it all up since I have more seacoasts than fresh water. will have to investigate a bit

i totally agree with u here .. i have no way of lelveling up except when they give us new levels .. and then i am at the top again ...so no challenge really ..
I agree also. It is kind of anti-climatic only being to level up every 2 months or so. I do not need a new title for every level, or new items to buy with each level. Add the new titles and items every 10-25 levels if it will help get us more levels.

Very happy with the latest releases - now I can do my service facilities easier too! Just something that is puzzling - Ear Syringe Ball in a baby shop??? Do people really use these? I find it quite bizarre - especially as I was a nurse and a midwife (retired now). I should think these are positively dangerous - OK I KNOW this isnt real but the Devs must have got the idea from somewhere!

If you have unusual buildups of earwax (which can impair your hearing) YES these are really used.

8. Send FarmCash gifts to your Buddies: When sending FarmCash gifts you can now select from the dropdown if you wan to send it to a Neighbour or to a Buddy.

14. Bug Fixes/Improvements:

- The Language Dropdown Selector in the Map Window now shows common used languages on top
- When you are putting items in the farm (from item storage, gift box, etc) and the category for that item is hidden you get a warning message. This way you will not be lost questioning why the item dissapeared.
- When sending gifts and using the 'Facebook Friend Lists' option, there are no popups now when asking for permissions, this way there will be less issues with browsers and popup blockers
- When switching Stable views to the larger Stable the facility manager sometimes was showing ”no animals to harvest at this time”, this has been fixed
- Friend Activity panel at the bottom of the game now eliminates a lot of duplicate content.
- Help Links are now functioning in Firefox 7.01+
- You can now laod baits into tackle shop even if you still have baits in harvest storage. Reminder: As of 2 weeks ago, you should not have any more NEW baits in storage, baits from farming plant (and tackle shop when working for others) goes directly to the bait counters.
- 'Follow Avatar when walking' option in the preference window removed, was causing more trouble than benefit. The functionality was also disabled in the game.

(All service facilities are now covered by tools)

Thanks

I just bought a Express Checkout and it doesn't work. It says I still need to buy one, even when I took it out of storage and placed it in front of the store.
It works through the Facility Manager. Just like the Purple Forklift. There is a new button at the top of the Manager for Cash Out All.

Farm # 12 is great!

but just like the last release...everything else is getting boring and predictable:

2 facilities for coins, 2 for cash...tools for cash:mad:...same old same old!

no new crops, flowers, trees, or anything to do with the animals we have gotten a long time ago.

I am just going to say this, it is a game people, everyone plays it differently. If you want the new Farm Cash goodies, buy them, if you don't, don't. Please don't beat up the developers of the game if you aren't happy. Just quit playing then.

Nov 16 2011, 11:25 AM
... sorry to say, but this update is for nothing:

Any new things which make the game interessting? nope ...

update time? Sorry folks, but having to wait for this minor stuff 1 month must be a joke!



Yeah, I'm with you. I haven't played since just prior to the last release and was considering coming back if this release offered anything of interest. Nope. I'm sure having tools to help with the service facilities is a time saver, but it doesn't help make the game overall more fun...it only makes it just slightly less tedious. Ah well, I'll check back in another month when the next release comes out and maybe there will be something new then. It's really a shame because I had been a loyal, avid, regular player for so long. Slashkey really needs to hire more developers to crank out updates more often, even if they are small. Without frequent new content, it just gets stale. If you build it, they will come (and spend money!).

Exactly..I have been a loyal player since the beginning too..but like I said earlier..getting predictable and boring.
And what is still not fixed is the red sprinkler...I am getting tired of having to log out and in , in order to do anything after using that thing!!

I know all about build ups of ear wax but NOT in babies or small children. Heavens the risk of infection and puncturing the ear drum!!
I was a childrens/babies nurse until recently (retired now) - and in the UK I have NEVER heard of them and I do not think they would be allowed anyway! The ENT consultants would have a fit! We DO have ear syringing for adults - and occasionally for older children done by a qualified person.

I know this is a game - but I was just amazed that such a thing might be on sale somewhere - it sounds archaic to me!

awesome update!

the only thing i could possibly want now, is a little blue water drop in the squares we click on for the farms. it is color coded to let us know which ones are fertilized, would be nice to know which ones have been irrigated, i was harvesting my crops today, and i had not irrigated 2 of my farms....sigh...

Nov 16 2011, 02:18 PM
Great update, but I think we have a couple of bugs, which have been identified, but I'll share so that they are validated:

1. The fish belts are not working correctly. I turned on "Show Coins and XP Animation" so I could see the seafood & fish I gather when fishing my many waterways. I have seen multiple crabs, eels, carp & Mahi Mahi's gathered in my nets - since they appeared with the animation turned on. Yet, when I look at my belts, I am still at the "1" belt. I'm not seeing progress on the following fish" Carp, Haddock, Mahi Mahi, Crab, Herring, Northern Pike, Eel, Mackrel, Walleyes.

2. Gifting window does not expand with the new update, when selecting "Facebook Friends List" to allow me to select all of the players listed. I can only see one row but not any further.

3. Gift Exchange isn't working. I have exchanged all of the gifts to the item I need, and accepted the gifts. Once I enter the game, none of the gifts are in my gift box. If I do not exchange the gifts, and simply accept them, they do appear in my gift box.

Everything else is working great! Glad to have Farm 12! Now I have a "Non-Working" Farm that is set for the release of additional winter & holiday decorations!

OK - I bought a new wool shed and placed it on farm12. Had 20 sheep in storage which placed into shed no problem. Bought loads more sheep, took coins of my amount and gave me the xp and placed the sheep onto farm - again no problems. Added sheep to wool shed - only the original 20 in there. Refreshed game, closed internet down and come back in and still only the 20 in the wool shed!


OH Dear, you never guess what I done with this? Clicked on add to storage instead of add to shed hehehehe

? I got some last night but when I fished today no belts and no fish was added to what I needed for the next belt. Also why was I asked to allow ft when I logged in after the update.

Nov 16 2011, 03:02 PM
definately worth the wait!!! thx Raul and the devs, I love the new tools for service facilties!!

two little gripes/suggestions though, (which I normally dont do)

can we have a fertilizer or super feed to double the the harvests from animals? Ive never run out of animal harvests until the past month or so, now i cant keep up with any of them, and i have sheds/coups on almost all my farms

and the next time we get new levels, cuold those of us who reach the highest level automatically please get window asking us to post we reached the new top level? Id like to gloat on my wall every so often, but we can only do it as we level up normally. the give us message saying we recieved the farm cash for levels, could we get one like this asking us if we want to post we reach the new high level???

i did my first fish after update around 10 mins ago, the belts are shwing for me now in the belt screen, but i didint get any messages roll over as i went through the belts, and some fish didint show up as being harvested, even when I have two or so of the water they come from.

Just had to say that I find it VERY unusual that no MOD has responded today (during the last 6 hours) since we have posted numerous times about the gifting problems, and the fish belts. I posted #76 almost 8 hours ago. :(

Come on MODS!! Oh, please don't tell me you have a REAL life and aren't actually on FT 24/7??!!! :D:D

The above comment was meant in jest and hope it will be taken that way!

The first comment still needs to be addressed....

Thanks again,

The fish belts are not working,I just did my fishing and none of the belts moved,it said 375 crabs to reach the next belt,I fished my big sea coast,the amount of fish in store increased but it still says 375 crabs to reach next belt.

I am also having the same problem except the counter for my Crabs says 323 to yellow and it is not changing and Ive fished my big sea coasts twice - and I have a few of them and also the small ones.

Hornyroo
Nov 16 2011, 04:08 PM
crabs was the main one i noticed too not moving, there were a coupel of others still on the white belt

carp, crab eel haddock herring mackeral mahi mahi, n pike sword fish wall eyes

i have all of these in storage and can fish, but no movement, although my crab number is different to yours, i have 293.. its either glitchy, or the numbers for these belts are ridicoulsly high

i had a feeling the belts were deleayed for the fish as they were having problems... wonder if this is it??

It's such shame that with all the work to program this game that the idea of having goals is no longer in the plan. Long time players with a lot of XP can not level up until we get 25 levels in an upgrade every couple of month. There are no goals for us. And it all comes down to money, sell FC to us, don't let us earn it.

I still don't see how the armored truck works. What is "The Cashout all button is at the top of the facility manager" mean? Do you mean when you click on a facility, and your choices are what's in stock or required supplies? Or get new clients or cash out? There are no other messages there! I am frustrated, and must be missing something obvious! Can you explain in more detail, please? I love the feature, and desperately want to use it! It is hard for me to come up with FC, so when I spend it, I definitely want to use it!

The Armored Truck is supposed allow us to "cash out" all of the used products from all of the service facilities with one click (vs the click on "cash out" for each individual service facility).

the armoured truck's CASH OUT ALL button which now shows in the facilty manager allows you to grab your cash from all SERVICE facilties in one click, just as the STORE ALL button adds all finished FACILITY products to storages.

When clicking the start all or load all buttons doing my facilities that have any yogurts in them to load...they don't load. I had to open the particular facilities that didn't load them and load them manually. I had no other similar probs with anything else just the yogurts in the regular facilities and service facilities. Also I have a dairy processing plant on nine farms and when I checked or unchecked products in one plant on one farm it happens the same for all Dairy Processing Plants on all nine farms. This just happened with this new update. Wish each product check mark had a separate function for each farm separately, like before. I still love the updates..just thought you guys should know of these glitches right away...as always...thanks very much. :)

Don't know if anyone else has reported this problem. Checked belts for fish after I fished my premium waters this morning, then came home and fished both regular and premium waters. I was showing several fish this morning within 25 fish of a new belt level. Did not receive a single salmon, crab, squid, lobster, grouper, yellowtail and several others, even though I fished 2 large seacoasts, 6 small seacoasts, 2 large lakes with boats, and the small premium lake, 2 ponds, and 2 large lakes without boat. Looks like I got no credit toward any belt fishing tonight, and I am not at black or brown belt on anything....

Are my waters that deficient in premium fish, or is the belt system still not working?

And yes, I do know where which fish come from, so please don't tell me that I cann't get salmon from ponds and lakes without boats, or squid from small seacoasts....

Thanks for looking at this!

I was pleased yesterday when I could add another farm. I was glad yesterday when I could purchase and use the new service tools. But I am really disappointed today---because even after emptying my cache and macromedia I cannot exchange a gift for something that I can use on my farm. I went through this same issue from May til almost September of this year. I thought I would never have to worry about it again. Boy was I wrong--could I please get some insight on how to take care of this problem once again?????

BAIT, I am having problems with bait in the refer clients. Is it supposed to take it out of the items I have? I lost all my bait when I filled the refer clients. One would assume that when I cash out I would have some in my rivers and ponds.. Am I mistaken to assume this?

Yes you are mistaken. When you put bait into the Fishing Tackle Shop it is just like putting any other product into a service facility. When they are finished you get the cash for those items and don't get the items back.
The only facility you get bait for your waters from is the Fish Farming Plant.

Ive noticed my bait is disappearing rather quickly too - especially the seawater bait - Ive got tons of the freshwater! I thought it was just that I have more seawater - but this never used to happen.

Ive just found what MY problem is with the bait and perhaps its happening to others too especially if they have the new start all tools for the Services. I unchecked the tick boxes for bait in the Fishing Accessories shop and it also unticks the same product box in the Fish Farm.

So... I tried a few other products in different facilities. Same thing. When you uncheck a box for a product in ONE facility - Service or Production etc - it also unchecks ALL boxes for that product in all other facilties - for example not wanting to sell Farmerade in the Dance club also affects the Soft Drink factory and the Snack Machine and Sports Arena!
So if you want to (for example) only make Seawater Bait but not sell it you cant use the Load All Button in the Service facility!

Ive just found what MY problem is with the bait and perhaps its happening to others too especially if they have the new start all tools for the Services. I unchecked the tick boxes for bait in the Fishing Accessories shop and it also unticks the same product box in the Fish Farm.

So... I tried a few other products in different facilities. Same thing. When you uncheck a box for a product in ONE facility - Service or Production etc - it also unchecks ALL boxes for that product in all other facilties - for example not wanting to sell Farmerade in the Dance club also affects the Soft Drink factory and the Snack Machine and Sports Arena!
So if you want to (for example) only make Seawater Bait but not sell it you cant use the Load All Button in the Service facility!

Yes I can confirm this is happening. Certainly not desirable I would surmise.
Would a moderator kindly draw it to the attention of a developer.

I think that the problem for me anyway is just the display of the Seawater bait as I still can fish and get the fish but the counter displays a zero. I watched that counter go down from around 2000 to zero and I still fished fine. The Freshwater bait was still somewhere around 13,000, and my seawater bait is usually somewhere around that. I feel that as I could still fish and get fish that the ‘counter’ is still correct, but the display of that seawater bait counter is in error.

Just wanted to let you know.

I also fished on a neighbors farm and maybe that seawater bait counter carried over from that farm to my farm as I just did that prior to that same neighbor fishing on my farm.

making it so we cant hide things and add more of the same items has made it harder to design my farms. for example, if you plant a grove of trees and want to see if you missed any spots or where the spots are that you missed you could just hide them and then see where the spot is not red and plant a tree there. now you can not plant a tree when trees are hidden so it makes it harder to clean up a design, also same goes with decorations if i want to a decoration behind one that is there I cant hide them to see where im putting it because it wont let me add a decoration when they are hidden

This has been happening for a long time - please Devs add the newer seasonal decorations to the lists for display. When I uncheck the box for display trees all the Autumn and winter trees are still there, as are any items like the seasonal houses etc.

Well today - Seawater bait count still zero but fished fine. Noticed that the Sea Coast bait count is larger than the freshwater bait count. But I think the Sea Coast bait counter being larger better is a better view of that even tho it's zero.

You can still fish using the boat without bait. BUT the purpose of the bait is to double your catch. Are you sure that you are catching double in your seacoast? Click on the "show points & animation" in your preferences and you will see "2" x whatever you are catching.

Just trying to be helpful, if you didn't remember the double for bait. :)

Have noticed that when using the load all button in my services if a product is unchecked in the factory it auto becomes unchecked in the service ??? ie: not needing to make strawberry yogurts as have 32000 so is unchecked in dairy but said 32000 is not being loaded into the service .When i did check item in service it auto got checked in dairy so will be making more yogurt auto when i press start all in my factory is this a glitche?? can this be fixed as i am going to be wasting time opening up each factory/service checking and unchecking boxes

Since the new release on Nov. 15th when I try to send gifts to friends there is only a very narrow box listing my friends and I can only scroll as far as the g's. Is this a change with facebook or is it related to the new Farm Town release? I haven't sent any gifts since some of my most avid player friends are further down the alphabet than G.

Nov 17 2011, 10:14 AM
Yes you are mistaken. When you put bait into the Fishing Tackle Shop it is just like putting any other product into a service facility. When they are finished you get the cash for those items and don't get the items back.
The only facility you get bait for your waters from is the Fish Farming Plant.

thanks Taz, however, if I uncheck it in the refer clients it also unchecks it in the fishing farm plant.. can you have someone look into this or somehow correct it. It is not the only one it happens in

to the poster who dais they weren't going to play until sugar and cheese were increased-- do what a lot of the rest of us have done, put dairy plants and sugar refineries on as many farms as you (cow barns too if needed) i currently have 10 farms with dairy production and at least 5 with sugar. (11 farms with cow barns if i recall too)

Yes, you can put duplicate factories on different farms, but I hate having all my farms have the same look/feel to them. I need more yeast and leather...IMPOSSIBLE to make enough, but I sure don't want a semi on all my farms in order to meet the minimal demands of my factories. Imagine an ocean retreat with a big ol semi parked on the beach...... ICK.

So I ask the developers to please INCREASE production of these ingredients..

It's likely you only have enough XP to reach level 260 but no more. in order to reach 285 you would need 7,587,000 xp.

To add to what the others have said Farm 12 was not locked to any specific level. So your level didn't have anything to do with your being able to buy it.

Thanks for the new update, it's great but we have an issue with giving gifts. The box that contains the names of your neighbors when you click on the icon Send Gifts at the upper left is now so condensed that you can't scroll down far enough to add your neighbors names. Also get an error message sometimes that says Bad request when trying to send gifts. It say browser does not recognize request. This happens on both Google and Firefox. Thanks, could you please look into it because right now I can only send gifts individually which is time consuming.

I think the fish-belt system will work like the crop-belts.... you will be able to actually post at the higher belts (and eventually the Dans). The first few belts have shown only as the white-box pop up, and the notification that your % is increasing..... but posting for bonus fish comes later.

Hi there,

There's no specific list as such, but if you open the Belts section in the facility manager and look at fishing belts, hover over the picture of a fish and it will tell you how many fish left to get for the next belt.

Hi there,

There's no specific list as such, but if you open the Belts section in the facility manager and look at fishing belts, hover over the picture of a fish and it will tell you how many fish left to get for the next belt.

I'm sorry Tiger, but that isn't helpful at all. I clearly knew I could see what was needed to get to the next belt. But how about the belt level after that one? And the next?

Hovering over doesn't give you that information. Since you don't know what you caught with each cast of the net, and you cannot feasibly be looking at the belt option in the extending tool bar to see the amounts that changed between each cast. And almost impossible to catch the change to the next belt at the actual fish that moves you to the next belt. So you cannot know how many are needed at any given belt.

Why is this important? I am getting ready to re-work my flowers, since I have only 3 flowers left to reach the 6th degree Dans. I am planning to put new ponds & rivers in place, and want to plan appropriately for the amounts & types of those items I want to purchase.

14. Bug Fixes/Improvements:

- When you are putting items in the farm (from item storage, gift box, etc) and the category for that item is hidden you get a warning message. This way you will not be lost questioning why the item disappeared.

Can you "undo" this "improvement" please. Or at least allow people to ignore the warning and carry on. Placing trees into missing spots in an orchard is nigh on impossible now.

Cheers

I bought Farm #12 and upgraded it several times as coins would allow, however, when I went to harvest my flowers, my 4 x 8 (Red) flower tool was missing. It wasn't in my storage which is where I keep all my tools. I have most of the tools and this one was the first one I bought ages ago. Is there any way to get it back?? Please help!! I miss my flower tool!!!:confused: :(

You need to contact support. It is at the bottom of the screen when you are not in full screen. Include a link to your farm. If you do not know how to obtain the link private message one of the mods that is how I got mine. I've had my flower harvester disappear twice and both times the devs refunded an equal amount of farm cash within 24 hours after I contacted them. Also, make sure you indicate the value of the item lost when you contact them.

I, too, like all updates and look forward to their release. This time though, the Refer
Clients button is missing from the Gym Service. Is this the way of the future or just an oversight?

I see it on mine. Did you click on "What's in Stock"?

how do you send farmcash to buddies or neighbor and what is the use of the tools implement in the gift section..thank you

If you go to the Store, and then Click "Other" you have the option of selecting a 55, 120 or 250 Farm Cash Gift Card. You buy this with the Farm Cash in your account, and then send it to the person you want.

The tool implements are decorations, and have no functionality in the farming process.

I just want to say that I really like Farm town. Out of everyone that I know who were playing it, I am the only one left that is still actively involved. I was just thinking about the cost of playing FT, and for the past 3 months of have spent 39.95 (or whatever it is for 250 coins)each month. If I bought a game for $100 and put it on my computer, it would not cost me more to continue to play it. If you didn't buy the the latest tools that make it easier to play, you would be spending far too much time just trying to get things accomplished. The time is really the reason a lot of my 'friends' stopped playing FT, so it is a big decision if you like the game. I keep thinking I am not going to spend addition funds and just make due with what I have, but then it gets boring doing the same old things all the time.

I do try to make my farms (at least 3 of them) look pretty, and that usually gives me something to keep me happy every two or three months. I am not really complaining.... just telling you how I feel about this game. Maybe someday I will stop it, or maybe I will just keep spending the money to play. But thinking about it right now.... $480.00 is an awful lot of money to spend on a 'game'! What do you guys think about it when you look at it in monetary value... do you feel it is worth the cost?

Can we have an option to turn buildings/trees/flowers off again when buying/rearranging things. it is so much easier to place things using the redbox as a guide.

Don't know who can help but the farmtown dollars that i was given(65) to replace those lost in last update, buy nothing. Tried to buy 4x4 seeder and the dollars left(45) but when seeder was placed on farm and then to storage it went to places unknown. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am NOT a happy camper :(

For some time now, I've been concerned because I keep running out of copper ore and thereby unable to fill my TWO metal factories.

I have suspected that I wasn't getting all my ore, but nevertheless, I went ahead and bot my FOURTH mine hoping that would resolve the issue. Well, it hasn't!

Today (shoulda sooner) I counted the stock as I mined my four mines. I should have 15,000 thingies of copper ore. I checked my stock before doing my facilities and there are only 7,653. There is obviously a problem.

I have also noticed an increase in requests from other farmers for 'copper' and I am suspecting this may be a sitewide issue and not just with me or my farms.

Can someone please ask the developers to check this out.

(wondering if some of my 'other' stock issues are for the same reason)

It takes 18,000 copper ore to fill a facility. The mineral mines will only give you 15,750 copper ore a week. So that means that you would need 2.28 mines to fill 2 metal mills once a week. We have 12 farms so you might think about putting a mine on each farm.

I would like to ask that the ability to buy trees while trees are turned off be given back to us. When planting trees close together it is hard to see where trees are being placed with them on.

Why are there no dan belts for the fish?

Is there a problem with the fish belts? I don't understand 'why' they don't seem to count the fish properly nor are the fish getting to the inventory either. Can you look into this please?

Also would love to see petroleum production increased. That is a "FC" item and I just don't think we need to buy 2+ of them to be able to fill up our facility that uses the petro barrels. I have plenty of crude oil, but the production of the petro is so sloooowwwww

Don't mean to complain, do love the recent update - thanks! :)

Is it possible to fix it where if you have multiple of the same facilities, to be able to uncheck something and the duplicate facility will keep it checked. Some of my facilities I bought that are duplicates was for one specific product. IE....I have 2 Food Preserve Factories because I needed more tuna. If I uncheck everything in the second Food Preserve Factories except tuna the first one will also uncheck everything except the tuna.

Still probs with $. Used $ returned to purchase a seeder. Placed it on farm and then tried to store. Seeder is no where to be found. 45$ blown away like the dust. E-mail in gifting is still 1/2 exposed. Cannot gift. Help!

It takes 18,000 copper ore to fill a facility. The mineral mines will only give you 15,750 copper ore a week. So that means that you would need 2.28 mines to fill 2 metal mills once a week. We have 12 farms so you might think about putting a mine on each farm.

I realize that it takes a lot of ore. My issue is not the amount produced, but the amount that is put in storage when it IS produced. I only got HALF of my production. I collected from four mines and had more than enough as I mentioned and could not fill ONE facility. I shouldn't have to have a truck or a mine or anything else on all of my farms...then they would all look alike...how creative is that?

IN FACT, I have noticed more discrepancies since I posted my initial concern. I received 9 ingredient posts tonight for horse saddles. I went directly to the facility to produce them. The facility said I did not have the ingredients (Leather) to make the saddles. I also only got about HALF of my sheep wool when I collected it today. I have NEVER run out of oranges, I planted 200 more a couple days ago and I am not getting enough to do the same production as I did before....guess I need to count them next time I harvest. I do not do my facilities daily, but only once or twice a week.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG

No I don't.

My grand kids do the $100 games and whilst I do love FT I am not prepared to spend more than $100 all up to play. Yes all my original neighbours have long ago given up and only since the $'s became an issue.

Hi as more facilities are added they add additional strain on the items required from the older facilities.

that is generally the reason things that you didnt run out of in the past start running out now.

I've been having issues with connecting to farmtown. It keeps trying to connect to mainframe sometimes it will say yellow or green. This is a rare instance it has let me even go to the forum. I've been having problems for over a month. Please help, it resolved itself one day then started back again. [mod edit:email removed] if anyone can help because I will not be able to access this page again more than likely. I've updated the flash player and tried a couple other things.

Hi

this does not sound like a ft problem as the forum is hosted by a different company and totally seperate from the ft servers.

Try clearing all your browsers temporary internet files.

P.s. I recommend you remove your email address from your post as the spammers will have a field day with it :)

I can't find it now, but I saw a post a while back about not being able to work in a friend's facilities after pulling weeds or watering crops, etc.

I just happened to me. I tried clearing cache and temp Net files and cookies and everything else I could think of ... no joy.

The message box that comes up to confirm the send when receiving a gift is incorrect because of it's size. The "send/cancel" button is pushed below the message box window so you can't actually click on it.

Good grief! Running out because something is being used is NOT the issue. All of my production is NOT making it to storage to be used. Others are having the same issue
