New Release -- November 5th, 2013

[Raul]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Nov 26th, 1:00 AM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. Thanksgiving Items: Old items plus 20 more new items.

2. 36 x 36 Farm Expansions for farms 6 - 10: 40 FarmCash OR

Farm 6 Expansion: 30,000,000,000
Farm 7 Expansion: 30,000,000,000
Farm 8 Expansion: 30,000,000,000
Farm 9 Expansion: 30,000,000,000
Farm 10 Expansion: 30,000,000,000

3. Main Neighbour Bar Improvement: We are now showing the current user in this bar, so you can quickly see where your position is among your neighbours in the different dimensions, like level, help given, etc. This is also the only place you can see the Best Diversification and Help Given Ranks for all your neighbours and yourself.

4. Farm Stats tool Improvement: It now includes by default all the extra produce you will get due to fertilizer, bonus and fish baits. Notice the products from bonuses and baits are estimates but should be pretty close to the real numbers.

You can disable or enable this behavior by unchecking the box at the bottom of the window.

5. Long Tank Freight Car now delivers Crude Oil Barrels as well

6. 10 x 10 tools: Harvester, Seeder, Plower, Harvest-Plow Combine and Harvest-Plant Combine are now available in 10x10 mode, this will allow you to perform farming operations over 100 fields at a time.

7. Dan 7 for Crops: You will have to be at level 200 or higher to have the option to reach Dan 7. Dans 1 to 6 are now accessible at level 100, instead of 150.

8. Less Timeouts: Users with lot of facilities and turbo tools were sometimes experiencing timeouts in the Start All operation and when opening the Facility Manager, this should happen much less frequent now.

9. Facebook Promo - 15 Farm Cash Free: Users that can't afford to spend real money in the game may have the chance to get 15 Farm Cash for free, Courtesy of Facebook. This is a promo offered by Facebook and we do not have any control on it.

We only ask Facebook if the user is eligible, and if it is, we display a Yellow Farm Cash offer bar in the same place where the blue recruiter bar is showing now, right above your farm name on the top.

Facebook may request for you to have a valid credit card on your account for verification only.

10. Faster Avatar and Farming Operations: When you are farming in your farm (not hired) the avatar now tele-transport instead of walking to the next completed fields or plants, and as soon as there is assurance that the operation was saved successfully on our servers.

There will be much less progress bars in the farm at once and they will go away faster as well, this all contributes to a better experience while farming.

Notice that now if you see fields with Progress Bars it means the operations have not been saved yet, so if you refresh the game you will have to redo those fields.

11. Send Farm Cash gift restrictions: In order to send Farm Cash gifts to others you need to buy at least 50 farm cash since you first started playing (or earn it by completing offers).

This is to stop users creating fake facebook accounts and using bots or auto clickers to quickly get to level 25 or 27 in a day or 2 and then sending Farm Cash gifts to friends or themselves. This is not fair to the users that do not use these tricks and it also impact Farmtown revenue.

We know this is a delicate subject. We have already decided to soften the restriction a bit, to require a lifetime purchase (for the Sender) of only 25 Farm Cash, and also, to remove the restriction completely if the Sender has been playing for 6 months already, meaning, it's a legitimate Farmtown player and not a fake account just created to level up and never used again.

This last change was released Nov 6th, 11:30 PM EST.

12. Hawaiian Restaurant (FC): Produces Hawaiian Food.

Macaroni Salad
Poke Salad
Beef Bulgoli
Plate Lunch
Loco Moco
Lomi-Lomi Salmon
Hawaiian Chicken
Haupia

New Products in other facilities: Corn Starch in the Water Mill.

13. Bank (Coins): Produces Financial Products. It just uses coins to produce them, that's why it's not workable by others.

Checking Account
Savings Account
Money Market Account
CD Account
Government Bonds
Municipal Bonds
Corporate Bonds
Capital Stocks

A new Medieval Building was released to replace the Bank at level 126.

14. Spa Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Spa Supplies.

Palmassager
Massage Brush
Bucket and Ladle
Lip Balm
Body Powder
Cold Cream
Moisturizer
Day Cream

New Products in other facilities: Petroleum Jelly in the Oil Refinery.

15. Day Spa (FC): Provides Health, Beauty and Relaxation Services and can be stocked with all products from the Spa Supplies Factory.

Enjoy!

Post Release Updates - Nov 6th, 11:30 PM EST

- The Bank does not consume fuel anymore
- 20 new Thanksgiving items, 3 as gifts, 13 in the top section in the store and 4 in the bottom section
- The Avatar picture of yourself in the Neighbour Bar now shows accurately
- Send Farm Cash Restrictions updated: If the sender FarmTown account is more than 6 month old, no restriction applies. If it's newer, you need to buy or earn at least 25 farmcash (not 50) to send farm cash gifts to others.

Post Release Updates - Nov 7th, 4:00 PM EST

- Cotton Dan issue fixed, users that were downgraded are back to where they were before this release
- The send gift restriction fix we launched yesterday had a bug, it should be OK now, behaving as mentioned in the above update. Please refresh the game and try again.

Post Release Updates - Nov 11th, 7:20 PM EST

- Navigation to other farms after being farming for a while (with all operations except plow in plain grass) was very slow for a subset of users. In some cases the delay was much longer than on other cases, but in general the navigation time was improved significantly when done after farming, it should take the same time as navigating between farms without doing any farming.

Some users will also experience that farming operations on crops are faster with the bigger tools and on bigger farms with many items.

If you notice any weird behavior after this fix please report it on this thread.

Post Release Updates - Nov 21st, 1:50 PM EST

- Due to other important farmtown matters that required our attention we haven't been able to complete and release the 10 x 10 farming tools, we estimate it's going to take a few days more.

Post Release Updates - Nov 25th, 11:40 PM EST

- 10 x 10 tools now available

Post Release Updates - Nov 26th, 1:00 AM EST

- 10 x 10 tools can now be added as shortcuts

Known Issues:

- None

[bruhelmboldt]

. . . Great news!! Thanks, Raul!!

Oops, maybe NOT so great. My kids can't send me FarmCash anymore!! That's the only reason they play the game, so I guess I'll have to put them to work on another game. Anybody got any favorites good for tweenagers???

[FCM]

Thanks. Can't wait for the 10X10s to become ready. :)

[RickSGM]

Looking forward to it.

[Docperk]

Wow, I have seen some of the Facilities, I think I will go see what I can find. Thanks for the update. I can't believe I am the first to post. :)

[Pesto Farmer]

Omg - tyvm

[Docperk]

Wow, I have seen some of the Facilities, I think I will go see what I can find. Thanks for the update. I can't believe I am the first to post. :)

Ok so some others sneaked in on me as I was posting.

[JW2009]

WOO HOO and Thank you very much Raul and the Dev Team for a Kool New Release. This is awesome and look forward to reading the info - Thank You & Happy Farming™

[kataltay]

Hmmm, other than the facilities and services, and the Thanksgiving items (same as last year's), I don't see anything else. I hope more shows up lol

[Lee Ann]

Best game on FB, by far , thanks for all your hard work everyone to make it this way !!! Off to play whhoohoooo

[De'A]

Thank you Raul ,for the update . I would like to see you add a market where farmers can buy unlimited goods from each other without a limit, and add a feature were we can trade storage items with our neighbours thank you.

[bluehair]

ooh I see the 10 by 10 tools

[Farmer_Susan]

OMG! I was just getting ready to go to bed. How in the world can I sleep NOW! LOL

[earlgray]

Hmm, this business with the bank looks intriguing. Can't wait to see what that's all about!

[supertrucker]

i haven't looked at all the added goodies, but i have one 'nit' to pick at so far... knowing how many of my neighbors have more XP than i do isn't that important to me, so why put my information in the row of neighbors across the bottom of my screen? the neighbors are so jammed together anyway, it's hard to tell where one figure ends and the one beside it begins... on the 'awesome' side, planting my farms (even with a 3x3 seeder) is now faster than it ever has been, so i have to give you kudos for that...

[Docperk]

Hmmm, other than the facilities and services, and the Thanksgiving items (same as last year's), I don't see anything else. I hope more shows up lol

Looks like we go some new tools coming doing 100 squares at a time. Unfortunately I bet they are going to cost a pretty penny.

[holla]

Anyone know why to load the Bank consumes Fuel??...lol...kinda odd..well unless the bank is a moving wells fargo..didnt think of that-my bad..

[kataltay]

No longer able to gift friends FC items or Farm Cash gift cards, unless we BUY 50 FC at least, or complete an offer to "earn" it. That's a nail in the game's coffin.

[L.A.Bob]

Is the New Bank a Service facility or a regular production facility. It is listed in the Store as a Service facility but it shows up in the Facility Manager as a production facility. It starts with the Start All button and stores finished products. It requires coins and fuel to make, but nothing else like paper and ink. Thanks for the help!

[holla]

and maybe ive been sleeping but what happened to the deal where We could Duplicate farm cash facilities we already owned??...use to say duplicate if u owned 1 but now it doesnt, they bringin that back or what??

[tengunn]

Thank you. Always love the updates. This is our first mystery update. How fun is that.

[chrisluvsanimals]

I hope when the details come out, we know why the Bank isn't a "workable" facility

[Texas Belle]

I have to say I am so glad my avatar is keeping up with me when I just harvested.. big kudos on that.. she is not going around screaming "wait - I'm busy" anymore… THANKS guys… bought the facilities already, 3 of them since I had the bank I just put on storage and got out so no problem with it.. more, more… you guys rock….

[Docperk]

Well I can see one major improvement, Planting fields has improved even on layered fields the avatar keeps up and I don't have to reload the field to water. Now that is an improvement. Thank you.

[bayoubes]

I hope when the details come out, we know why the Bank isn't a "workable" facility

It works for me. I had the Bank already as a deco from very long ago, when I brought it up I can load. Not sure if a new one is working or not.

[rocker grrrrrl]

No longer able to gift friends FC items or Farm Cash gift cards, unless we BUY 50 FC at least, or complete an offer to "earn" it. That's a nail in the game's coffin.

what do you mean by that? I still have the option to send FC gift cards or FC items. Where did you see that?? :confused:

OK Never Mind.... I see it now. UGH...

[holla]

ok whats up...i seen on my homepage someone had a bonus for a 7TH dan degree.....um is this a typo??..cuz i kinda got a little exited...lol

like here it is:)

Thanks for clicking!
Alfalfa 7th Dan Degree! ½ of 1,908

[spiritualpathways]

no longer have the option to send a neighbor a "join me " or to "join them " anymore ... I use that a lot ...or other options we had when cliking on their name on the neighbor bar ... this sucks !!

Ooooh yeah. That'd get my whistles blowing, too! : )


So the bank . . . this is a fun guessing game. Looks like we don't have people work it for us - it just sits there and makes money for us. I like that! LOL But does that mean that we didn't get 2 new services this time? Guess I'll have to wait and see!

[rocker grrrrrl]

Well I can see one major improvement, Planting fields has improved even on layered fields the avatar keeps up and I don't have to reload the field to water. Now that is an improvement. Thank you.

I totally agree... my little avatar is just screaming along, keeping right up and I can water as soon as I am done planting the last square. Love this. :p

[rocker grrrrrl]

I hope when the details come out, we know why the Bank isn't a "workable" facility

It's like the semi or the bee farm... takes coins to load, and you get stocks, bonds, (corporate, municipal or government) CDs, savings, checking, and money market accounts.

[theperfectnina]

Not a typo, I just posted 2 7 dans

This is the error message a friend got when she tried to send me a FC gift. Apparently she did not yet purchase enough FC out of her money yet.

I rely on these gifts now, with no job and the economy in the toilet. The grand I spent is now wasted, because if this is the case, I am DELETING the game.

[kataltay]

what do you mean by that? I still have the option to send FC gift cards or FC items. Where did you see that?? :confused:

try and actually send it to someone... if you paid real money for at least 50 farm cash, you will be able to send. If not...you will get a pop up error message

[theperfectnina]

One thing I have noticed and am NOT happy about, the crude oil has not changed along with other ingredients we need so much more of. When are they going to take notice?????????:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad:

[holla]

thanks....just sold a checking account i had ...lol...good riddance, and i saw someone say 10x10's??havent seen that...

[dnana]

no longer have the option to send a neighbor a "join me " or to "join them " anymore ... I use that a lot ...or other options we had when cliking on their name on the neighbor bar ... this sucks !!

update has only been out for an hour, you KNOW there are always glitches at first, give it time. Can't send them a message either? Not sure why they would get rid of that, doesn't make sense, unless they are giving us another route and a different message system. Hang in there, wait and see. :)

I just went and looked and the options for each neighbor are still all there, same as they ever were. :)

[AKDave]

New Dan degrees, farmer icon no longer walks around aimlessly on-screen...

[trina531]

Thank you once again for making this the best game ever! I hope the cash gift issue can be worked out! :eek:

[tazzissweet]

Yes i feel the same way. If this is the case then i wont be playing the game anymore. Not if we have to always spend real money just to get virtual money.

[earlgray]

New Dan degrees...

7th Dan Degree for crops (yay!), but not for trees - I suppose those will come in a future update.

[ceciliawells33]

i totlly agree with you being disabled and getting money from no-where my husband would not let me buy FC so I will have to think if this game is for me will be sad I love this game

[gffarmer]

Thanks for the update! Love how fast the harvesting is now! Off to see the new facs!

Are the really enough players, to remove the ability to send friends farm cash gifts? Not winning any popularity contest with this change, Slashkey. I do hope someone has a major change of heart here.

I cannot see them making a change like you are saying. That just not make sense. It is probably a glitch that will clear up or be fixed as soon as they realize it. Raul has not even posted the changes yet, so we will see when he does if anything is said about it.

Taz, I posted a screenshot in the 'new release' thread of what my friend got when she tried to send me a facility. I really do hope it is just a glitch...

I sure hope you are right, Taz. I am just so discouraged right now. Thank you for keeping an eye on the posts.

[kittykat1958]

my sister is still unable to send me farcash items',i pleaded and begged her for 6 months to play the game just so she could gift fc tools to me,i live on ssi and totally cannot afford to buy fc on a regular basis ,i did buy it once but can never do so again,now with out her gifting it to me she will quit the game and sadly to say i might have to as well,i need those turbo tools to play the game in a short amount of time.

with my health issues i just cannot sit at the computer for long periods of time ,please dev allow us the ability to gift our neighbors fc without having to buy any or do offers which most of them cost money as well at least the good ones do.

[Aussie Rae]

what a mess you have stirred up this time slashkey!!! my daughter has 40fc and wanted to send me one of the new facilities...costing 32fc....she got the message saying she has to buy 50fc in order to do this.........so I guess I will not be getting any more facilities ...or tools...or fc animals...maybe its time to find another game...but I really love this one!!!! grrrr

[peekachoo]

This is different .... in my list of neighbours along the bottom of the play area, the last person that I helped out yesterday is highlighted yellow ( the whole box with avatar). If I click on it to go and help out there I can't , all I get is the list of " order by online status/level " etc. But I can click on my other neighbour's avatars and go and help them out .

[trina531]

HELP!!!! This is a pic of what showed on my farm...but when I opened my gift box there was no gift there...

That person highlighted in yellow is you and not one of your neighbors.

The yellow is you. For some reason we don't know yet, they've added our own farm to the neighbor bar which is why you don't get the same choices you do on any other neighbor

[JW2009]

Yes, this option is still there :)no longer have the option to send a neighbor a "join me " or to "join them " anymore ... I use that a lot ...or other options we had when cliking on their name on the neighbor bar ... this sucks !!

Doh ! Of course it is, silly me,lol. Sorry it's still quite early here, guess I haven't woken up yet !

Thanks Taz and chrisluvsanimals

[notaparagod]

Doh ! Of course it is, silly me,lol. Sorry it's still quite early here, guess I haven't woken up yet !

Thanks Taz and chrisluvsanimals

I can see how you didn't recognize that it was you! The avatar looks nothing like my real avatar...the eyes are a different color and shape, the mouth is different, and the hair is different. But...I don't care! I am just pleased that there is an update. Can't wait to find out about all the new things!

I already bought the Bank!

[markirk10]

seems as tho that new bank has issues...it`s listed as a service unit but it has a start all button instead of a load all button and it doesn`t even come up when someone tries to work a post.

[notaparagod]

I'm wondering if it isn't more like the mines or the fish farming plant or the bee farm...you need coins to produce anything in it...excited to hear what it does!

[Renelle]

I opened a new farm and am working my butt off to make farm cash now i canr use it!!!! Come on,Farm Town,Its just impossible to buy with our exchange rate of R10 to the dollar,and How can you penalize us for doing a honest day's work ?????

[TartanLady]

Whilst I love the updates I just cant understand why they dont increase production of the Crude oil, petrochemical barrels, silk, and the other things that we are constantly scrabbling around for, just wish someone would explain it to me I go to the bonus sites daily collect as many as my allowance will allow and still cant keep up.

I have 20 oil rigs mines are 16 too and nope still not enough its stupidly wrong.

I totally agree we should be able to fill the facilities not have to cut back or whats the point in having them at all, at the moment I have had to cut back so many of mine it will hardly be worth posting for help with them soon.

[Wally]

No longer able to gift friends FC items or Farm Cash gift cards, unless we BUY 50 FC at least, or complete an offer to "earn" it. That's a nail in the game's coffin.
I agree with you there.

[alyceclover]

Hmmm, other than the facilities and services, and the Thanksgiving items (same as last year's), I don't see anything else. I hope more shows up lol

I see some new Thanksgiving items. A real big change ~ we are now on our own neighbor bars! :cool:

[TartanLady]

hopefully the new tools wont be on coming soon for too long :)

I was thrilled to see another item (petroleum jelly) that I can produce to try to use up all my excess crude oil. I stopped producing Fuel tanks and petrochemical a while ago. I also have excess silk rolls.

However buying a train to try to get enough llama rolls did not help at all and since my neighbors seldom if ever give help for help giving, decided to put Paper Mills on all 20 farms in an attempt to produce enough paper rolls!

It is different for everyone depending upon what facilities they have and if they stack fields (which requires more fuel when using Tools.)
:cool:

[alyceclover]

7th Dan Degree for crops (yay!), but not for trees - I suppose those will come in a future update.

Bah! I am still working on finishing up the rest of my 6th degrees; oh well, another challenge for me.

[alyceclover]

i haven't looked at all the added goodies, but i have one 'nit' to pick at so far... knowing how many of my neighbors have more XP than i do isn't that important to me, so why put my information in the row of neighbors across the bottom of my screen? the neighbors are so jammed together anyway, it's hard to tell where one figure ends and the one beside it begins... on the 'awesome' side, planting my farms (even with a 3x3 seeder) is now faster than it ever has been, so i have to give you kudos for that...

I like to challenge myself to catch up to the neighbor who is one above me; thus like that we are now on our neighbor bar. As mentioned, those exp #s are hard to read and now I do not need them to determine who I am trying to catch up to.

[MBon]

awesome as always! thanks :)

[al_bundy]

Thanks Raul Great as always :)

[lynwoo60]

thank you so much for new update. fantastic job as always :)

[notaparagod]

Thanks for the update!

[peekachoo]

Many thanks for the updates, they seem weird ones this month, but interesting. I don't have many train cars but boy am I glad I have the long tank freight one as I really need the extra oil, thanks for that in particular !

[kahra01]

I agree with you there.

Yes I too agree, and I HAVE put a lot of my own money into the game.. if my friends have to buy in order just to help me, then its not worth it. I have never used a bot and Im sure if people have bogus accounts, then they have a lot of work to do in order to help someone out and also don't use bots. I have played since the start and this is the first time Ive ever said that I will be stopping. It has been great and I thank all the Devs and Mods for all they have done. I will just have to play with what I have as its getting too top heavy cash wise in trying to keep up. Sadly this update is a game changer for a lot of players and that's a shame.. another game people just fade out with.. such is life I guess :(

[melori34]

#11 Said very nicely but the TRUTH is this is now a rich mans sport and the only reason for this change in FT revenue and has nothing to do with fairness or the hundreds of other tricks would also be addressed. Not to mention the "earn cash" tab doesn't even work which backs up my theory that FT revenue is the real issue. I can't wait to see how the revenue looks when many jump ship. All in all a VERY SAD DAY FOR FARMTOWN. :(

[melori34]

Ditto Kahra :(

[MAUROMEN]

Thanks Raul Great as always

[MIRIAM DEL VALLE]

I agree with you there.

totally agree
I am disappointed, because in my case I have no credit card and no way to have, I have not receive salary, I could only buy at first cell, and now no way, never use programs clicleos and work only accounts for, and good job gave me, but I did it with ease ..
ojalas see that it is not a matter of closing the doors, not everyone has the ability to use money through a card, or just be staying w with what we have and see what comes back, unable to have: (

[Farmgirl_Su]

Im not sure what all the fuss about the gifting FC is about buying 50 farm cash is about £6.50 -peanuts..most players can afford that or is it because there is a way around to get free cash.
I have played the game since the beginning and spent much much more than that..and I think a min of spending £6.50 or approx $8 is a very small price to pay for a 'way around spending more".

Those threatening to leave never do..;)

[JacqV]

Thank You Raul and Devs ... Super update :)

[mac16129]

Another fantastic update for the BEST game ever.....thanks to all!

[tharcicia]

Well you certainly made me very happy this morning! While I was working at my farm my avator was keeping up with me instead of running around the place which slowed everything down.
Thank you very much you made my day! Now off to look at the other goodies :)

[NanaRuth]

After this new update, and playing since farm Town began, I have decided I can no longer afford to play. I rely, along with lots of my neighbours, on cash gift items to purchase the more expensive items. Most of us can not afford to buy 50 farm cash to enable this feature. If I/we could afford it, to put real money into a game labelled Beta would and could be a foolish mistake. Beta means it can just close down. So sadly after being a loyal player since Farm Town began, it is now time for me to leave.:(

[caba]

Loving the faster avatar - really helpful. Not sure what the bank does but bought one anyway!! :)

I have never sent or received farmcash gifts, so that's no problem for me but just to say I have earned over 90 farmcash today by using the links to buy Christmas presents.

[NanaRuth]

I am a bit choosy as to where I put my credit card details, so I wont be using the links. I have heard of some scam coming from them, No thanks !

[theperfectnina]

So they say it is now only 25 Farm Cash that we need to BUY or earn (most of the earning ways do NOT work) but it is still requesting 50 Farm Cash. I am so disgusted with Slashkey right now :eek::eek::mad::mad::eek::eek::mad::mad::eek::eek: :mad:

[rodneycs]

Since the update FTonly loads but you cannot get it to change farms on IE10 or whatever the latest version is called. On Chrome FT loads but shockwave crashes every 2 mins. I have had to go back to my old laptop to try and do anything with FT.

[al_bundy]

So they say it is now only 25 Farm Cash that we need to BUY or earn (most of the earning ways do NOT work) but it is still requesting 50 Farm Cash. Also a few minutes ago the price went up to BUY the Farm Cash. I am so disgusted with Slashkey right now :eek::eek::mad::mad::eek::eek::mad::mad::eek::eek: :mad:

11. Send Farm Cash gift restrictions: In order to send Farm Cash gifts to others you need to buy at least 50 farm cash since you first started playing (or earn it by completing offers).

This is to stop users creating fake facebook accounts and using bots or auto clickers to quickly get to level 25 or 27 in a day or 2 and then sending Farm Cash gifts to friends or themselves. This is not fair to the users that do not use these tricks and it also impact Farmtown revenue.

We know this is a delicate subject. We have already decided to soften the restriction a bit, to require a lifetime purchase (for the Sender) of only 25 Farm Cash, and also, to remove the restriction completely if the Sender has been playing for 6 months already, meaning, it's a legitimate Farmtown player and not a fake account just created to level up and never used again.

This last change will be released later today.

[brenda steele]

Not only have we not had a desperately needed increase in the production of Crude Oil, but we also have a new product in the Oil Refinery to use even more of the DESPERATELY NEEDED Crude Oil. Please increase the production of things like Crude Oil. Also while I am on, I have two facilities on my farm they show in my facilities manager but not on the farm, they can't be worked by my neighbours and dont show on my farm, but they are showing 100% in my facilities manager, anyone got any ideas how i can get them to show on the farm and be worked :(

[Fancy Flo]

I am just like you, have been playing forever and now it is just about the greed for them, very disappointed with this new update about farmcash, maybe if they made items less then people wouldn't need to create dummy accounts, so so sad!!

[Alexandra_J]

Hi Raul, can you send facilities/tools to friends and/or family still?????

[al_bundy]

Hi Raul, can you send facilities/tools to friends and/or family still?????

Hi yes aslong as you have spent $25.00 on farmcash from the sending farm or been playing for 6 months or longer you can

[rjohn726]

Thanks for the little things, like our avatar at the bottom in a darker yellow, the light blue in the saving indicator at the top that was most likely there before but now I see it much more. Of course the Avatar jumping from place to place is wonderful. The crude oil barrel great!

Thanks thanks thanks

[Tony D]

Hi all , while you are more than welcome to post feedback on the New Release ( negative, positive or both) please do not engage in debates/discussion on other members posts. Everyone has a right to their opinion.


Thanks

[brenda steele]

Its not just the Cash Gift Vouchers, its doing this with any Cash Gift, like the cash facilities or cash tools or even the $5.00 animal, so unfair, I have friends send me facilities now i cant even get them :(

[Alexandra_J]

Ok thanks for your help :)

[servocrow]

Really happy with the avatar movement thus far!! Big improvement. :D

[Carol1207]

I have heard a lot in the last two updates about "fairness" and while I understand the reasoning behind the latest changes to FC gifting, it is undoubtedly going to have a huge impact on thousands of players. As "fairness" seems to be the key word here, then it should cut both ways. Where is the fairness to the loyal high level players. They get 25FC every three months. Not enough to buy just one item. A lot of high level players, have a huge amount of wasted tools in their storage, for which they have bought using Farm Cash. We are told we have to keep those tools in order to be able to purchase further tools, but why? Would it not be fairer to high level players to allow them to sell those tools, and receive a percentage of their farm cash back. Come on Slashkey. If you want to talk about fairness, then you need to be showing some of that back, to your loyal players. I see you "taking" but I dont see you "giving".

[FCM]

The update is good, except for one of the BIGGEST bugs of all that is still there. The slowness when moving between farms after H/P and seeding with the combines and seeders!!!! Come on guys!!! FIX THIS ALREADY!! PLEASE!!! The 10X10 will be USELESS if we are stuck for 3 minutes between farms. FIX THE BUG!!

[farmersuz77]

Hi There,

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

1. Thanksgiving Items: Old items are now live. Later Today we will release about 20 more new items.

2. 36 x 36 Farm Expansions for farms 6 - 10: 40 FarmCash OR

Farm 6 Expansion: 30,000,000,000
Farm 7 Expansion: 30,000,000,000
Farm 8 Expansion: 30,000,000,000
Farm 9 Expansion: 30,000,000,000
Farm 10 Expansion: 30,000,000,000

3. Main Neighbour Bar Improvement: We are now showing the current user in this bar, so you can quickly see where your position is among your neighbours in the different dimensions, like level, help given, etc. This is also the only place you can see the Best Diversification and Help Given Ranks for all your neighbours and yourself.

4. Farm Stats tool Improvement: It now includes by default all the extra produce you will get due to fertilizer, bonus and fish baits. Notice the products from bonuses and baits are estimates but should be pretty close to the real numbers.

You can disable or enable this behavior by unchecking the box at the bottom of the window.

5. Long Tank Freight Car now delivers Crude Oil Barrels as well

6. 10 x 10 tools (coming next week): Harvester, Seeder, Plower, Harvest-Plow Combine and Harvest-Plant Combine are now available in 10x10 mode, this will allow you to perform farming operations over 100 fields at a time.

7. Dan 7 for Crops: You will have to be at level 200 or higher to have the option to reach Dan 7. Dans 1 to 6 are now accessible at level 100, instead of 150.

8. Less Timeouts: Users with lot of facilities and turbo tools were sometimes experiencing timeouts in the Start All operation and when opening the Facility Manager, this should happen much less frequent now.

9. Facebook Promo - 15 Farm Cash Free: Users that can't afford to spend real money in the game may have the chance to get 15 Farm Cash for free, Courtesy of Facebook. This is a promo offered by Facebook and we do not have any control on it.

We only ask Facebook if the user is eligible, and if it is, we display a Yellow Farm Cash offer bar in the same place where the blue recruiter bar is showing now. Facebook may request for you to have a valid credit card on your account for verification only.

10. Faster Avatar and Farming Operations: When you are farming in your farm (not hired) the avatar now tele-transport instead of walking to the next completed fields or plants, and as soon as there is assurance that the operation was saved successfully on our servers.

There will be much less progress bars in the farm at once and they will go away faster as well, this all contributes to a better experience while farming.

Notice that now if you see fields with Progress Bars it means the operations have not been saved yet, so if you refresh the game you will have to redo those fields.

11. Send Farm Cash gift restrictions: In order to send Farm Cash gifts to others you need to buy at least 50 farm cash since you first started playing (or earn it by completing offers).

This is to stop users creating fake facebook accounts and using bots or auto clickers to quickly get to level 25 or 27 in a day or 2 and then sending Farm Cash gifts to friends or themselves. This is not fair to the users that do not use these tricks and it also impact Farmtown revenue.

This last change will be released later today.

12. Hawaiian Restaurant (FC): Produces Hawaiian Food.

Macaroni Salad
Poke Salad
Beef Bulgoli
Plate Lunch
Loco Moco
Lomi-Lomi Salmon
Hawaiian Chicken
Haupia

New Products in other facilities: Corn Starch in the Water Mill.

13. Bank (Coins): Produces Financial Products. It just uses coins to produce them, that's why it's not workable by others.

Checking Account
Savings Account
Money Market Account
CD Account
Government Bonds
Municipal Bonds
Corporate Bonds
Capital Stocks

A new Medieval Building was released to replace the Bank at level 126.

14. Spa Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Spa Supplies.

Palmassager
Massage Brush
Bucket and Ladle
Lip Balm
Body Powder
Cold Cream
Moisturizer
Day Cream

New Products in other facilities: Petroleum Jelly in the Oil Refinery.

15. Day Spa (FC): Provides Health, Beauty and Relaxation Services and can be stocked with all products from the Spa Supplies Factory.

Enjoy!

I am over-the top happy about the avatar change. Doing my farms was pure joy this morning. Thanks you so much!!!

Yes!!!!
It's nice to be able to fertilize at once, but it still takes FOREVER to load the next farm after using the combine - so making the avatar quicker is actually useless :p

[KnightRider]

What I would like to know is how is Facebook doing the gift FC? I have a neighbor on the same server I am and they have the banner for the free FC (of course they are the one without a credit card, so they can't get the free FC), but the banner doesn't show up on my farm, it still shows the blue 30 FC banner. Has anyone received the banner from Facebook?

[WillowTreeFarm]

KnightRider, my niece doesn't have a credit card and has never bought FC, she has the facebook gift FC offer above her farm. I have bought a lot of FC, I do not have the banner. I believe they are only giving it to people who haven't bought any FC, or very little, in order to entice them. My niece clicked on it, it asked for a credit card for "verification" so she can't use the offer.

[WyoSugar]

Thank you very much for making the avatar faster. Really helps. I appreciate all the work Raul and the developers put into this game

I have no banner, blue or otherwise... there is no FC offer on my page.

[ceciliawells33]

after looking at the offers for free farm cash I also do not have an android phone nor a credit card looks like there are people in the same boat as myself so it looks like checkmate here on keeping up with everything

[1fritz]

Thank you what appears to be another great update. Sooner than I expected it.

Thanks for keeping the game fresh and interesting.

Off to check it out.

Fritz

[Tuckertbnc]

and if it is, we display a Yellow Farm Cash offer bar in the same place where the blue recruiter bar is showing now. Facebook may request for you to have a valid credit card on your account for verification only.

I don't see any bar , blue or otherwise ?? what gives/?
And I know I've spent $100's of real money on this game ...
I do like being able to 'earn' farmcash .. I happily send my mom flowers twice a year :) .. Christmas is coming up so I check to see if I can buy gifts and get something free for me ... and I quit buying the farmcash factories loong ago , I only buy the new coin ones and save my farmcash for tools ..

Nope, don't have one of those. Or a blue banner either.

[Dutch85]

Thank you Raul for another great update! I love it! I'm looking forward to the bigger tools next week!.. My avatar is moving at super fast speed, and I noticed the last 2 days that I am going from farm to farm faster also. Thanks again!

[Docperk]

Whilst I love the updates I just cant understand why they dont increase production of the Crude oil, petrochemical barrels, silk, and the other things that we are constantly scrabbling around for, just wish someone would explain it to me I go to the bonus sites daily collect as many as my allowance will allow and still cant keep up.

I have 20 oil rigs mines are 16 too and nope still not enough its stupidly wrong.

I totally agree we should be able to fill the facilities not have to cut back or whats the point in having them at all, at the moment I have had to cut back so many of mine it will hardly be worth posting for help with them soon.

Maybe your problem is that you do not have enough refineries. I too have 20 Oil Rigs and I have 3 Refineries and I produce more oil products that I could possibly ever use.

[dave1949]

What is wrong with the game, updates are great but the game is slower than before. It took 3 mins 40 secs after planting to load next farm. Black box saying queueing. Come on devs slowness as been a problem for far to long.

[writerkat]

Where do I find the Facebook offer? I don't know what a recruiter bar is....

[Uncle Dave 2]

It has always been a problem, when using the tree shaker, to tell the difference between a harvested tree and a non harvested tree. Could something finally be done about this to make it very easy to tell the difference.
Thank You.

[FCM]

Uncle Dave, there already is. Go to the wrench (preferences) and click Dim Out Non Relevant Items Features for Tools and select Hidden and you've got it. Trees will disappear when you harvest them

[Rob T]

Hi all,

I would just like to point out Rauls latest update regarding the farmcash restriction which will be released later today....

[Qivis]

"The test itself is a cheat!" - James T. Kirk

I appreciate that Codebell-Slashkey needs the money to stay in business and the attempts to place limits on sending farm cash. But I think there will be some out there who will take it as a challenge to be able to get free farm cash or free farm cash items and will eventually find some way around the limits.

[Qivis]

What is wrong with the game, updates are great but the game is slower than before. It took 3 mins 40 secs after planting to load next farm. Black box saying queueing. Come on devs slowness as been a problem for far to long.

They've updated the game to speed things up, but it has been countered by a slowdown in all the Facebook games. I am having similar issues with a few other games and I think the recent updates to Facebook itself is probably what is effecting them. :(

[Qivis]

Nope, don't have one of those. Or a blue banner either.

If you already have PayPal OR a credit card registered with Facebook, you will not get the offer. It's basically the same offer Facebook has made in the past and not always via Farm Town. So if you've already done it once through another game or via the offers that have been made a year or so ago on Farm Town, you will not see it. Or if you have PayPal or a cc registered with Facebook without any offer for Facebook Credits at all you will also not be eligible for it. Bummer, is it not? :eek:

[FCM]

I could see this when the game first loads. But, this is an anomaly that occurs within the game when using specific tools. It's a Slashkey bug.

[Tygered]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the turbo-charged farmer avatar. I love how much faster I can harvest now and plant. Did I say, THANK YOU?

[StoneFace]

Yes i feel the same way. If this is the case then i wont be playing the game anymore. Not if we have to always spend real money just to get virtual money.

Sounds more like the plan to halt so many players from creating bogus accounts to accumulate farm cash so they don't have to support the devs.

Clever idea... the devs deserve to be paid... maybe now they will. I have probably spent over $500 this year along, often just $50 at a time with a gift card. I feel like I am being "rewarded" now for the willingness to spend.

[barbara nixon]

i'm likin the faster avitar...it was one of my pet peeves but i just accepted that i'm a slow old lady....lol..noticed today when i was working my farms..would still like to see a chop all as i have my chop trees willy nilly and not in rows because of the look..i know we will have more stuff for thanks giving later..so thanks for the update..did try to buy the semi loading tool but only had send tab..will refresh to see if it will fix it..before i bring it up again..only tool i need now...

[TartanLady]

Maybe your problem is that you do not have enough refineries. I too have 20 Oil Rigs and I have 3 Refineries and I produce more oil products that I could possibly ever use.

well great if you can afford them what annoys is why should we have to get so many of the same facility to keep up I have 1 refinery and that should be more than enough seeing as it cost cash not coins

[hurican]

Message to the developers ......... i will not purchase Fc facilities that require red meat an or chicken meat ....... untill you increase the production of red meat an chicken meat ...... It takes to much time to go gather products from other places with virus laden links.

[KnightRider]

Hi KnightRider! here is the banner



I know what the banner looks like as I stated before the only one I have is the blue 30 FC banner, that tells you right there that I know what a banner is. I have figured out that the Free Facebook FC is for those that have not purchased FC and a lot of them don't have credit cards like my neighbor. In my opinion if you have purchased FC you will not get that banner. What exactly is FB verifying? That you have a credit card, I didn't know having a credit card had to be required to get something that is free. Like that one TV commercial about the credit scores, if it is really free why do you have to put in a credit card?

[Qivis]

I could see this when the game first loads. But, this is an anomaly that occurs within the game when using specific tools. It's a Slashkey bug.
It has not been just loading of the other games either. It has been general game play as well. And the loading of crops, trees, and fish when working for other farmers has sped up by quite a bit when using the green tools. In fact, much of the time today the black boxes have popped up and vanished too fast to read them - like the days when we were stuck with just 2 farms and no working facilities. This suggests that it is a problem with Facebook and not Slashkey itself.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, as you had asked if someone had received the facebook banner, and I had, then posted the pic. I know that you know what a banner is.:)

About your question on credit card, Im not sure that I want to give Facebook my credit card information including the secret code.

[Rob T]

Hi, as Tony D has previously stated, please no banter, arguments or rudeness to other members, those post WILL be deleted.

[TartanLady]

Have to say for all those saying they are leaving due to the fc update come on be realistic like all other fb games they all get to a stage where its all about using real money and then loads say they are leaving unleass they change it hmmm yet to see a game developer change their mind on that one yet do you think they care if you stay or go thousands of players out there a few leaving and it only is a few that havent spent any real cash anyway really doesnt bother them one little bit.

Dont jump down my throat on this I totally agree its a bummer and anyone that tells me they have never had to use real money and they have all the facs and tools I really dont believe them for a second unless you have had lots of Dummy/Helper accounts

[Qivis]

Question about item #13. What is the purpose behind the items in the bank? Will they be used in something in a future facility? They just seem to be useless items right now.

[Beka82]

love the game thanks for the update

[Qivis]

I have heard a lot in the last two updates about "fairness" and while I understand the reasoning behind the latest changes to FC gifting, it is undoubtedly going to have a huge impact on thousands of players. As "fairness" seems to be the key word here, then it should cut both ways. Where is the fairness to the loyal high level players. They get 25FC every three months. Not enough to buy just one item. A lot of high level players, have a huge amount of wasted tools in their storage, for which they have bought using Farm Cash. We are told we have to keep those tools in order to be able to purchase further tools, but why? Would it not be fairer to high level players to allow them to sell those tools, and receive a percentage of their farm cash back. Come on Slashkey. If you want to talk about fairness, then you need to be showing some of that back, to your loyal players. I see you "taking" but I dont see you "giving".

Amen!..........

[Qivis]

After this new update, and playing since farm Town began, I have decided I can no longer afford to play. I rely, along with lots of my neighbours, on cash gift items to purchase the more expensive items. Most of us can not afford to buy 50 farm cash to enable this feature. If I/we could afford it, to put real money into a game labelled Beta would and could be a foolish mistake. Beta means it can just close down. So sadly after being a loyal player since Farm Town began, it is now time for me to leave.:(

You might want to re-read the list of updates. It upset me too until I re-read that particular item a couple times and saw that the limits will not be as unreasonable as I thought. They're just trying to cut back on the number of people who play just enough to send 1 item and then quit. I have some neighbors who do not have factories of their own besides ones that go for coins and they use their farm cash to help me when they get it from leveling up.

[dave1949]

I like the latest updates, but it as just made the game slower than it was before. After planting a farm it took 3 mins 40 secs to load next farm. Come on devs its time you sorted this out please, This as been an ongoing issues for months. I dont need to be told to clear caches etc.

[KnightRider]

9. Facebook Promo - 15 Farm Cash Free: Users that can't afford to spend real money in the game may have the chance to get 15 Farm Cash for free, Courtesy of Facebook. This is a promo offered by Facebook and we do not have any control on it.

We only ask Facebook if the user is eligible, and if it is, we display a Yellow Farm Cash offer bar in the same place where the blue recruiter bar is showing now. Facebook may request for you to have a valid credit card on your account for verification only.

I am a little confused as to what FB has to verify in order for them to give that farmer the 15 FC. It isn't to verify that it is a real account, because there are a lot of people that has farms and doesn't have credit cards, so they won't be able to get the 15 FC. I think they just want people to input their credit card information and they figure if they say something is free they will do it, it reminds me of the TV commercial about the credit scores "if it is really free, then why do they need a credit card". Just because someone purchases FC to help the developers get paid, doesn't mean that those people shouldn't get a little FC back for the hundreds of dollars that they have spent, I know it is voluntary, but a bonus to say thank you for all the money you have spent would be nice, it should be 15 FC for everyone.

I'll be interested to find out how thing fare with the changes to the farm cash. For me this will probably spell the end to me playing the game. Which probably isn't a big deal to them since I haven't spent real cash on the game for over a year now. Personally what I would have like to seen done was just seen things cheapened. $40 in real cash a month to buy all the new additions is really expensive compared to the rest of the gaming world. For example, I pay $99.00 a year ($8.25 a month) to play Lord of the Rings Online and that gives me access to all aspects of the game plus 500 TP (equivalent to farm cash) to spend on cosmetics and such. Long story short IMHO i see the real problem with farm cash to be items being too expensive. I might spend $10.00 a month for all the new add on tools and facilities but not $40.00. I will be anxious to see what happens to the game.

[Johnny Popper]

Facebook controls that offer.

Exactly. That was my point. Data mining at it's finest!! :D

[barbara nixon]

i'm prolly gonna step on toes with this but more than multiple accounts what about the ones who have 300 oceans ponds w/boat..etc?..seems to me that should have been stopped long ago..just sayin..

[Steve Kay]

The avatar changes are terrific!!! Speeds up the farming process significantly.

Thank you all for keeping thing growing.

This suggests that it is a problem with Facebook and not Slashkey itself.

You are missing the point. The slowness I speak of is not when working on your farm. Those performance issues in the past were understandable. This update improved performance. Much appreciated. The slowness i'm speaking of occurs after using the big tools (combines and seeders) and moving to the next farm to work. THAT is where the slowness is. It IS a Slashkey issue. It has nothing to do with Facebook.

[Madam Hooch]

Since the update the game keeps timing out.

[gffarmer]

Thanks for adding crude oil to the train!

[SeaJay]

RAUL!!!!!!!!
How cool is the bank!! Haha. I can't wait to open all my accounts and learn more about it. Can we actually add to our accounts? I'm off to find out. I'll be back when I see what else is new and exciting!! I just had to hop on over and comment on what a cool idea the bank is.
Love the day spa and new restaurant also. I'm a sucker for any eatery. Time to go play with my new toys and plant some more corn!!
New Dan levels too!! You took me by surprise on this one boss!!
Peace!!

[knolan]

Where is this blue recruiter bar located so I can look to see if I am qualified for extra farmcash by facebook? Please be more specific for me, I'm not sure of the location you are referring to. Thank U. :D

I would agree with this. It is a back end issue(FT servers getting clogged).

It is my number 1 issue of sadness in FT.

Is there a way to remove the
Farm Cash Offer: Click Here to earn 15 FarmCash for free! *Courtesy of Facebook*
as I don't intend to complete this offer, Facebook have to much information already I don't want to give them any more.
This last upgrade is a joke, it has nothing in it to improve the gaming.
I have been playing since the beginning of the game, but I feel more about leaving for good.

[SeaJay]

OMG! I was just getting ready to go to bed. How in the world can I sleep NOW! LOL

:D I know what you mean.

It will show up under your Experience and Farm name. If you are not seeing it then you may not qualify or it may just not be there yet.

[Serenity Dilsworth]

Whoa ... my avatar moves like she had double her usual amount of coffee!! Many thanks!!!

[AussieGecko]

This is how I interpret the gifting change. Please correct me if I am wrong.

An account that is less than 6 months old and wishing to gift FC to another account needs to buy at least 25FC which is approximately $5.23 Australian Dollars. This is a ONE OFF thing they have to do. They can send FC from that account any time onwards for free.

Accounts 6 months old or more do not have to purchase FC in order to send it. There is no restriction to their account. If they have never bought FC they receive an offer to get some 15 FC free.

Sounds fair to me. If I wish to set up a dummy account for FC I can choose to wait 6 months and gift it freely or pay up a small amount of $5.23 and do it immediately. There is a way for those who can afford the small amount and also for those who can't. So I say thank you to SK for being kind enough to give those who can't afford it a way around it.

[susiefry]

NOt sure why some are complaining of the update. yeah not really new stuff but hey when i was farming today and didnt have to wait for my avatar to keep up was such a HUGE thing. LOVE this part of the release. Now if i can just get my snowy mountain tops Ive been wanting for like 2 years now, Id be a happy farmer ;)

But if i can add a negative thou, although i completely understand the protection of dummy accounts and such but Im a little confused. My daughter has an account that she no longer wants and has cash so instead of wasting it she was gonna send it to me and I guess we put it off too long since now she cant. And its over 6 months old????

[dorissau]

confused about the 15 Facebook credits.. neither I nor any of my FT friends can figure out what "the blue recruiter bar" is or how we get those freebies. Help???

[tengunn]

I agree. I think it is only fair that we pay a little or show we are real players. We pay more than that to see a movie or go out for a fast food run. They have to make money somehow. I have been playing since June of 2009 and love the game more with each update. Thanks developers for all your hard work.

[barbara nixon]

stupid me..i got my ordering sta upgrade..i just had to put old one in storage for it to unlock..disregard my inquiry before..

[Taz D]

That change has not been put in yet. Probably later tonight as Raul tends to work late hours.

After the change goes into affect like Taz mentioned your daughter will be able to send you her FC, cause according to the release notes it says that if an account has been active for 6 months or more than the requirement for purchasing prior FC is no longer needed and you said hers was over 6 months old, so as long as she as at least 55, 120, or 240 FC. Those are the amounts of the gift cards you can send, other than those amounts she could find tools or facilities or something that cost FC and send to you.

[TexasStar]

Please pass on my thanks to the developers for the improved avatar performance! It is great! Looking forward to adding the 10x10 Combine to my collection.

Thank you for all of your work too!!

[Debbie55]

I have played Farm Town since spring 2009. I loved this game but the FC restrictions have made me feel that this is turning into FarmVille. I really disliked that game but played it for a relative and her grandkids. She has since died and I immediately left it. I have coaxed people back to playing FT when they left because there was something they were having problems with or what have you but when it was fixed or upgraded, I told them and they played again. My hubby and I love playing together. We buy our FC and share it. With this upgrade, this will require us both to buy it. Not happy about that... I have a friend that loves to play and she is disabled and has a child with cancer....now I can't send things to her. Where's the 'good' neighbor policy that this game has always encouraged?? You put up statistics of how many people we help out...but you TAKE AWAY our ability to help in the 'true' sense??? I KNOW you aren't losing money on this game. I see too many people with many, many FC items and know that they bought it. Facebook isn't my favorite place because of privacy issues...but I have stayed because of THIS game.. I have met so many wonderful people... BUT, you may have pushed it too far with this restriction. If I want to 'give', I should have that option. (I have applauded the devs many times over but haven't you looked outside the game to see what our economy is like?)

[JW2009]

I would just wait until it is set up so you can if the account is over 6 months old.NOt sure why some are complaining of the update. yeah not really new stuff but hey when i was farming today and didnt have to wait for my avatar to keep up was such a HUGE thing.

Yu have played for over 6 months. When the final change is in place then you will not have any problem sending farm cash or the tools or facilities that cost farm cash.

[Orx]

Another great update thanks. Especially like the improvements to the Avatar.

debbi i have to agree with you. i have spent a lot of money on this game and was planing to spend more now i cant and i have sent stuff to people. i hope they change there mind on this and also i do not have fake accounts. maybe it is time to move on to something else. thanks for rest of the good stuff.

[Snookie Sue]

I just love the speedy new avatars! This is the best upgrade ever. I have all 20 farms and a full time job so it was getting tough to find the time to work them all every day. And it didn't cost me a cent. Thanks so much devs.:)

[aprildmhutchins]

I love this game and have played faithfully for many, many hours...Thanks for all your hard work Slashkey... (((HUGS)))
Keep up the GREAT work!

[max_river]

thanks for the release maybe with this new rule to sending stuff to other people maybe you can gives us more levels more often and more than 25. also how about after a certain level you make it 2 fc for leveling up

[JbarLFarms]

Hmm, this business with the bank looks intriguing. Can't wait to see what that's all about!

Has anyone figured out what the purpose of the bank is?

[Qivis]

debbi i have to agree with you. i have spent a lot of money on this game and was planing to spend more now i cant and i have sent stuff to people. i hope they change there mind on this and also i do not have fake accounts. maybe it is time to move on to something else. thanks for rest of the good stuff.

The restriction is on people who create accounts and then play for 1 farm cash items worth of levels. If you have played for 6 months or more it will not apply, nor if you've spent real money on farm cash. It upset me at first too, but then it sunk in this damaged brain of mine once I re-read it a third time.

Speaking of which I figured out what the Bank is for, Raul. So that it's perfectly fine for me. It's to use fuel to get coins over time and I do have a ton of extra fuel. I think it's been 6 months since I last had to use the Fueling Station! Still, you might want to explain the Bank further in case of other people with skulls as thick as mine. :p

[kataltay]

Any idea when the update with FC gifting will be coming into effect? "Later today", I read. But, is this the case, or has there been a problem? It's still not possible, even with the purchase of the 25 FC.

Well, my skull isn't thick, and I cannot grasp the idea behind the bank yet. If it's as simple as using fuel to get coins, perhaps that is how it can be worded. ;) It's not a bad thing to keep things simple. LOL!

Hi,

Basically with the bank... you put money in, and get more money out (interest)
It cashes out like any service facility, just nobody can speed it up :)

Hope this helps

[Tluvit]

After almost 6 years, I'm done with farm town. It was getting to be kind of a pain, and without gifts, I don't really want to put out that much money. I've already zapped my farm.

[BraveStarr]

Thanks for the update & keep up the good work as well...

[Aussie Rae]

how do I post a screen shot here please..the reason I am asking is because when I clicked on that get free fc offer courtesy of facebook and then clicked on the verify with paypal I got the warning that its an untrusted site....so I quickly exited....

If it is being listed as an untrusted site then it would be your browser or your anti-virus program stating it is untrusted. I use Paypal all the time for payments through Facebook and Farm Town. If it will let you go on then I would.

[slartismum]

So what do we do with the bonds and things? Just sell them?

[Taz D]

So what do we do with the bonds and things? Just sell them?
Currently yes. They are in your non-ingredients meaning they get sold off. Maybe in the future they will come up with a service facility to put them in so they can earn more money.

[slartismum]

Thanks for the rapid reply. I hope the new service when/if it comes is a coin one. This time one factory was coins and the service was for cash. Strange!
Still love the game, though.

[Sandie Angel]

Many of us tried very hard to help our friends to build up at least the interest to play this game right from the start because Farm Town just simply wasn't doing anything to entice new players. Have you ever tried to play this game yourselves to find out how hard it is to gain farm cash without anyone's help. I have paid hundreds of dollars... I think in the past two months to send some of my friends at least the minimal required tools....i.e. the semi-truck.... at the very least to get the game going, and also sent some other FC items which they may boost up their banks in coins WITHOUT having to grow tons of crops with the few farms that is available. I can say that WITHOUT anyone help, the new players WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT ON THEIR OWN!!!! It is not a matter of tricks or anything, some of us DO TRY OUR BEST to experience a few methods to try if the game is playable for new players. Oh well.... seems like the farm cash restriction is killing all the fun for the new players. I have gone up the shore already for this game, I have too many facilities and factories to handle with very little time. I have bought a lot of tools too, but seems like it will never end. I'm feeling tired already, and even though yes, your game is more fun than other games in FB, but seems like the FC restriction of a little unnecessary.

******P. S. Oh, but just to clarify... I am not the one who have been using robots to do farms. All my cash items are either bought or acquired through my hard work. Above is just my opinion on the subject of Farm Cash restriction. On second thought.... Yes, the lower restriction of 25FC seems more reasonable and within reach for the new players so they don't think that they will have to work for a long time to get that. They will at least be motivated to continue on working to gain another 25FC so they can buy the tools....one tool at a time. Well, at least they will be motivated to play the game longer. (This is of course, just my opinion as well).

Anyway.... great work on the game!!!

[kkenkel513]

Did anyone else have their cotton move backwards to Dan Level 4? I had Dan Level 6 on all crops but today cotton moved backward to Dan Level 4. So did both my kids' cotton.

[kataltay]

Please, when is this 25 FC purchase stipulation going to take effect? It's 11:30 p.m here in Newfoundland, and no longer "today" in many areas. It's still saying you must purchase 50 FC.

[Momma Woods]

Currently yes. They are in your non-ingredients meaning they get sold off. Maybe in the future they will come up with a service facility to put them in so they can earn more money.

I had the bank already, and couldn't find it in the facility manager. So I started it manually and it worked. Still not in facility manager. Are we supposed to start it manually?

[Taz D]

Just like all of the buildings we have had that were previously decorations, you need to wait until it is empty, then put it into storage and then back on the farm. It will then show up in your facility manager.

It is just so that people can't make fake accounts level up to 50 and then transfer the FC to a main account and delete that account and never use it again, the only way it would effect a new player is if the new player wanted to send FC to another player, but if another player like yourself wants to send FC to a new player you would be able to do that with no problems. When the lower restriction comes out, it is either purchase 25 FC or have an active farm for 6 months. After 6 months they could send FC items without the purchase of any FC.

[adsum1966]

Hi. I purchased 25 Farm Cash today. I tried moments ago to gift a friend, but the error message says I need to buy at least 25 Farm Cash (or earn them by completing offers) to be able to send Farm Cash gifts to your friends. Please tell me what the problem is. The purchase was made with the knowledge of your new rule.

Try closing and restarting your farm and then try again. The change may not have gotten to your server yet.

[adsum1966]

I have done that several times. I will try again. Should I also clear memcache?

[adsum1966]

I have cleared memcache, logged out of facebook, signed in, returned to Farm Town, and again tried, to no avail. :(

[KnightRider]

Below was just posted by raul:

Post Release Updates - Nov 6th, 11:30 PM EST

- The Bank does not consume fuel anymore
- 20 new Thanksgiving items, 3 as gifts, 13 in the top section in the store and 4 in the bottom section
- The Avatar picture of yourself in the Neighbour Bar now shows accurately
- Send Farm Cash Restrictions updated: If the sender FarmTown account is more than 6 month old, no restriction applies. If it's newer, you need to buy or earn at least 25 farmcash (not 50) to send farm cash gifts to others.

[adsum1966]

Knight Rider, I did purchase 25 Farm Cash today. Through my bank account. If I have wasted my money, I wish to be reimbursed (and of course lose the 25 Farm Cash). This isn't sitting well with me at all.

[RFMad]

Thank you for the new update. I really like the new, improved and faster avatar! It makes farming so much faster. No more reloading farms to get the job done! Best game ever!!

[maggiel29]

Did anyone else have their cotton move backwards to Dan Level 4? I had Dan Level 6 on all crops but today cotton moved backward to Dan Level 4. So did both my kids' cotton.

Yes mine has gone back to Dan 4 :(

[B.Keeper]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Nov 6th, 11:30 PM EST.



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

13. Bank (Coins): Produces Financial Products. It just uses coins to produce them, that's why it's not workable by others.

Checking Account
Savings Account
Money Market Account
CD Account
Government Bonds
Municipal Bonds
Corporate Bonds
Capital Stocks

Known Issues:

- None

The Bank doesn't seem to have a "Produce Faster" button

[chrisluvsanimals]

The Bank doesn't seem to have a "Produce Faster" button

That's because it acts like a Service Facility. It can't be worked like other Service Facilities though...it works like the Bee farm, fish farm, mines,etc...you just have to let it work at it's own pace

[chrisluvsanimals]

Yes mine has gone back to Dan 4 :(


Mine has gone back to Dan 4 too

[sandivanderavoird]

Thanks Raul and Devs ... Great update! I am a happy chappy! :)

[FarmerWitch]

I agree that spending $8 US or so on entertainment is not a lot, if you are actually earning US$. I live in South Africa and buying 55Fc today it will cost me R103.48 ZAR - the price of a week's vegetables for my household or a movie ticket (for one). There is absolutely nothing anyone can do about the exchange rate so off-shore entertainment is very expensive for many of the players

[HelenJS22]

Looks like we go some new tools coming doing 100 squares at a time. Unfortunately I bet they are going to cost a pretty penny.

Agreed.... Would so love to buy the 100 squares tools, but I'm guessing they'll probably cost an arm and a leg, and then some .... Wouldn't it be nice if we had some way of trading in all those smaller ones we've spent farm cash on over the years?

However, I've seen posts saying that even the more lowly tools and the faster avatar is working a treat ... Thanks devs :)

[dave1949]

You are missing the point. The slowness I speak of is not when working on your farm. Those performance issues in the past were understandable. This update improved performance. Much appreciated. The slowness i'm speaking of occurs after using the big tools (combines and seeders) and moving to the next farm to work. THAT is where the slowness is. It IS a Slashkey issue. It has nothing to do with Facebook.

Like you I have same issue, yesterday planted a farm, went to load next one it took 3 mins 40 secs. No buildings, or flowers, or animals trees hidden. Black box sating en queuing. The game is being ruined by the speed or lack of it

[HelenJS22]

I don't know quite what the issue is, but could it be your computer speed rather than the game?

I just jumped from one farm to the other with all trees, flowers, animals and decorations showing. The only thing I had closed down was 'buildings' and it took 17 seconds to jump from one farm to the next ..... and that is with layers :o

My farms aren't all full size, and I still get impatient with the jump from farm to farm :o but with all the stuff I have on them I certainly can't complain about 17 seconds.

ps: Since writing the above I've checked all my farms for jumping between them speed, and the quickest of the heavily developed ones took 8 seconds, so my thinking is that it can't be the game that is the problem.

[WillowTreeFarm]

My cotton also went back to the 4th dan belt, hope this will be fixed soon.

[HelenJS22]

Love my little teleporting avatar :D It certainly makes me think back to the 2009 version who plodded along way behind our one field at a time planting, harvesting etc, and even did an entire circuit of the farm if anything got in the way. I used to be able to go make a cup of coffee while my 'Mandy' toured the outer edges of the farm getting to one tiny single plot to harvest it :D THANKS GUYS :D

[Grammy 11]

Clearing my tree farm and flower farm is now a real pleasure. Thanks for the speedup.

Now, could you please give a little tweak to the sheep and llamas so I don't have to plead with them to get into their sheds? I have tried freezing, enlarging, whatever, there are always a few who take days to get in, whether I use the quickclick shed tool or click on each separately. Thank you!!

[jcplnd]

You have got to be kidding. Enter my credit card number expire date and code on back. Plus my name. Then you are wide open for any charge you want to charge. NO THANKS

[CajunLady747]

I for one do not like some of the changes made to the game. Some of us can not afford to buy farm cash because we are on disability checks and all that money gets sunk into paying for the bills of our homes and such. And earning farm cash is a joke through those sites because the surveys and stuff are a joke or you have to have a credit card to even get the good ones for alot of farm cash. And so any new things that come out that require farm cash that people like me wish to have most likely we will never see because we will never have enough fc to purchase said items. Other than this complaint i love the game but would like to see more level increases instead of 25 at a time as i have been maxed level for over 2 years now i want something to work towards again. thank you

Raul and the rest of the team, thank you for this great game! My husband and I have spent many, many hours playing FarmTown and we do not expect you to work for free. We appreciate the free FC we get for leveling up and we will continue to purchase FarmCash as the budget allows. Thank you.

My sentiments exactly.

Gotta get another gift card to buy the expansions... hehehehe.

[CajunLady747]

nobody said anything about them having to work for free but when your on section 8 like i am and section 8 is barely paying any of the rent ( and thats what is boggling my mind the most) and my bills consume almost all mine and my husbands check there just is not any money left to purchase any farm cash at all as much as i wish there was but nobody said anything here about raul and them having to work for free

[Qivis]

I for one do not like some of the changes made to the game. Some of us can not afford to buy farm cash because we are on disability checks and all that money gets sunk into paying for the bills of our homes and such. And earning farm cash is a joke through those sites because the surveys and stuff are a joke or you have to have a credit card to even get the good ones for alot of farm cash.

If you are high enough a level you will not have the restriction. I was able to send a neighbor a MegaSheep (I think the game actually calls it a Long Hair or something) :D without any problem whatsoever.

[Jean's Farm]

Thanks for the update Raul!!!! Now I can finish my Autumn Farm. :)

And thanks for taking away the fuel req. for the bank. :D

I don't know quite what the issue is, but could it be your computer speed rather than the game?

I just jumped from one farm to the other with all trees, flowers, animals and decorations showing. The only thing I had closed down was 'buildings' and it took 17 seconds to jump from one farm to the next ..... and that is with layers :o

My farms aren't all full size, and I still get impatient with the jump from farm to farm :o but with all the stuff I have on them I certainly can't complain about 17 seconds.

ps: Since writing the above I've checked all my farms for jumping between them speed, and the quickest of the heavily developed ones took 8 seconds, so my thinking is that it can't be the game that is the problem.

Helen,

It is not the computer. This slowness occurs when moving between farms after using the large tools (combining and seeding)

[servocrow]

I have the weird Cotton Crop rollback as well.

:)

[Pesto Farmer]

Lost my 6th Cotton Dan as well

[Danuta]

I love the changes in farming thank you guys:))

[JW2009]

This is weird, ever since the New Release, when I work on a farm and reload that farm, I get this on my neighbours listhttps://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/1395948_689996397678141_1925932787_n.jpg

I also went back to the cotton 4th dan

[romesz]

I also went back to the cotton 4th dan

Everything stayed at DAN 6, but cotton changed to DAN 4.. It is a glitch :)

[Tony D]

Hi, just letting you know that the Developers have been advised about the problem with the cotton dan dropping back to the 4th dan.

[westilldance]

Your opening popup just said the Train would now deliver silk rolls? WHICH CAR? I checked the store. None of the cars carry silk.:(

The long sliding door car carries the silk rolls.

Thanks Tony

No problem! I don't mind some more bonuses available at all.

[annalienjvr]

Totally agree. How the heck do you get fc, by earning it. This became a money making game and we poor guys just can't keep it up. I noticed that there are some old people playing ft that can't properly eat every day, where in the world will they find money for fc ???? Who is Facebook anyway to decide who can afford what, they don't have any insight in my finances. We are South Africans and with the ZAR so weak we have to pay nearly ZAR10 for 1 Dollar. This is so unfair.

It states in the new release that if a player has played for 6 months or more then the person doesn't need to purchase FC to send a neighbor FC items, it is only to stop fake accounts.

[max_river]

what i do not get is that stopping us from sending fc will stop fake people had fake accounts before they introduce the the fc gift card or option to send factory ect. so how is this going to stop it

You are not stopped from sending FC gifts if you have been playing for 6 months OR have bought at least 25 farm cash. What that prevents is people setting up accounts to quickly level up enough to send those gifts using the free farm cash.

[sandivanderavoird]

FCM .. I totally agree with you .. I have the same problem. It takes 4eva to save and to move between farms when using the 3 in 1 tool :(

[servocrow]

Thanks for the update, mine is back to normal now.

:D

I have heard a lot in the last two updates about "fairness" and while I understand the reasoning behind the latest changes to FC gifting, it is undoubtedly going to have a huge impact on thousands of players. As "fairness" seems to be the key word here, then it should cut both ways. Where is the fairness to the loyal high level players. They get 25FC every three months. Not enough to buy just one item. A lot of high level players, have a huge amount of wasted tools in their storage, for which they have bought using Farm Cash. We are told we have to keep those tools in order to be able to purchase further tools, but why? Would it not be fairer to high level players to allow them to sell those tools, and receive a percentage of their farm cash back. Come on Slashkey. If you want to talk about fairness, then you need to be showing some of that back, to your loyal players. Please consider the idea of being able to sell back older tools for farm cash to enable us to buy some of the newer tools

Well said...I love it!! ;) I completely agree!! Please consider this SlashKey!!

[KnightRider]

This is all my opinion in response to a change made by the New Release. The only people that the latest changes to the FC gifting will affect is the people that make fake accounts. People that have been gifting FC items to neighbors to help them usually have been playing for more than 6 months which means that they don't have to purchase 25 FC to gift FC items, so the new change will not affect them. People mention that items is too high, but as an example, when you have a person have a main account, and then open up 10 fake accounts and in 2 or so hours get up to level 50 so that they have 55 FC in all 10 accounts, then gift the main account all of the FC in those 10 accounts, which would add up to 550 FC ($ 80.00 cash), in my opinion I think that is wrong, now in order to do that each account would have to purchase 25 FC, I think that is fair, how long do you think the game would last if everyone done that? In my opinion the FC change is needed.

[max_river]

i never opened a fake account i do agree that is right. but i do not think it is fair to penlize everyone and force someone who only been playing a few months that they have to spend a certain amount so they can send a gift to someone.. i think it is a way for face book and others to make money

[Tony D]

Hi all , 2 things ..

1) Due to the emotive issues that comes with anything to do with Farm Cash we have allowed (to date) some liberty with posts, we do ask that you now keep your posts to feedback on the new release and not debates / discussions or opinions . Any further posts of this nature may be deleted without notice.

2) I would also like to remind everyone that opening Multiple Facebook accounts is against Facebook rules ( to read the terms Click Here (http://www.facebook.com/legal/terms) ) .

We have had members in the past being temporarily banned (by Facebook) and made to close all but one of their accounts.

Did anyone else have their cotton move backwards to Dan Level 4? I had Dan Level 6 on all crops but today cotton moved backward to Dan Level 4. So did both my kids' cotton.

LOL yes it happened to me but I figured it was a glitch since Ive had Level 6in all crops for a long long time. I didn't stress on it too much.. I just grew a whole lot more! :)

Tony mentioned earlier that the dev's have been advised of this.

EDIT: Raul posted that the cotton dan bug was fixed today at apx 4 pm Eastern time.

[TartanLady]

since the update I cant receive or get bonuses or ingredients it tells me I have reached the limit but not done any for 24 hours now

[knolan]

It will show up under your Experience and Farm name. If you are not seeing it then you may not qualify or it may just not be there yet.


Experience & Farm name? Under the Play? My Requests? My Neighbors? Invite? Buy Cash? Earn Cash? I feel pretty stupid right now.....

[Taz D]

Experience & Farm name? Under the Play? My Requests? My Neighbors? Invite? Buy Cash? Earn Cash? I feel pretty stupid right now.....
Yes, up at the top of your farm.
