Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following new features and bug fixes: EN ESPAÑOL AQUI (http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=625150) En français ici (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=625174)

1. Halloween Items: 10 New items plus old items, all in coins. The Bat Cave from last year is now a coin item as well.

b) Ingredient Planner is now reporting correct numbers, for instance, if you uncheck some products that consumes bread, then the amount of bread required to fill the facilities should go down
c) Released changes to the Neighborhood Chains Contest so competing neighborhoods are more balanced in terms of the amount of participating facilities each neighborhood has in the contest

Hi lpeaks,
The water pieces have to be within the red square. It is trickier to use when they are off the edge of the farm. Extent mode is when you have the red square meaning that it will harvest all within that land area.

I have a yellow square like with the trees, and am used to using the tree shaker now, I was covering the whole area, as there was more waters outside the square area overlapping and when I click it did nothing, I cancelled and I still had all fish there, so it didnt connect somehow. Will try it again in the morning and see what happens. Do you know what the extend mode select means?

Hi lpeaks,
The tools are switchable between the old method and the new one. Extend mode means you are using the new (area) method. You can change it by clicking on the tool symbol that replaced the eye. That will pop up the 2 modes.

I have sent an email to the developers. Facebook has done this before by setting security level too high.

I got kicked out of facebook when I posted my CLIENTS tonight - couldn't post FACILITIES because I can no longer get back into FB! How do you suggest I fix this problem? I got a notice telling me I was deleted because I possibly have Malware on my computer and then gave me steps to check on said Malware, which included DOWNLOADING their company to scan my computer. That's exactly how you get Malware! I have since run short and long scans with my Norton account, and I don't have Malware. I just got kicked out of facebook because I posted my CLIENTS. Please help me get back on facebook and back to my farm! THANK YOU
BTW - To add insult to injury, I was to collect $2 farm dollars from my co-op quests tonight, so I missed that opportunity also!

Aussie Rae
Oct 02 2016, 03:34 AM
this happened to a lot of us some time ago, the only way to get back on facebook is to do as they ask, and then it will be fine.. we have all been there, done that... its just facebook being a pain as usual, they were stopping a lot of us from posting this morning but now that has been resolved.. its not farmtown but FACEBOOK that is the cause of this... doing as they ask won't result in you getting malware.. and I am sure one of the moderators will be able to explain more when they get on... sorry mods if I jumped the gun by replying to Norlene Adams....

Norlene Adams
Oct 02 2016, 09:51 AM
I appreciate your reply Aussie Rae. My resident computer expert is my soninlaw, and he also recommended not downloading their company to run a scan. It's so dangerous for your computer to allow a 3rd party to access it. I guess I'm permanently kicked out of facebook and farm town. I have been playing since 2009? - about 2 weeks after it appeared on facebook. I'm so sad.

Hi Norlene,
Many of us had to do the same thing last time that Facebook raised their security level. It is a simple procedure and does not permanently install the program they use on your computer. It is safe to use and will quickly get you back into Facebook and Farm Town.

Hi there, I hate to bother you guys but It said that all the Halloween decorations are in coins. What abotut the 4 other FC items... Pumpkin Tree and the Smashed Witch and the other two. I wondered why when I clicked on the Smashed witch it wouldn't give it to me. Are they going to be coins? Thank you

Hi Quilted Acres,
It does say the 10 new items are in coins, not that all of them are for coins. The ones that are farm cash are from past releases.

Thank you Taz and Aussie Rae - running the scan now.

SCAN COMPLETED AND I'M BACK ON FACEBOOK AND AT THE FARM! THANKS AGAIN TO BOTH OF YOU! ♥

Thank you Taz and Aussie Rae - running the scan now.

SCAN COMPLETED AND I'M BACK ON FACEBOOK AND AT THE FARM! THANKS AGAIN TO BOTH OF YOU! ♥

one last thing norlene, you can also uninstall that program as soon as you run their scan. thats what i did. glad ur back in!!

Norlene Adams
Oct 02 2016, 04:31 PM
Thanks for that additional info jeannine p :)
UPDATE:
TAZ said that the program to scan and clear my computer of any malware would not stay permanently on my computer, and it HAS disappeared. Can't find it on my list of programs to uninstall. So - I think all is well. They listed 4 items cleared from my computer which were all related sites, and when I googled them I found that they were mostly used on Windows 8. My computer came loaded with W8 (which I hated), but I now have W10 - it was downloaded in July, I think. Those programs might have come with W8.

really disappointed in the low amount of Crawfish containers produced in the Fish Farm Plants... taking forever to get any stock for the Cajan Restaurant, thank goodness we can post for ingredients or we would never get enough.. hope they increase the amount produced.. waiting 6 hours for 12 units is not funny... and I have 9 Fish Farm Plants... looks like I need to buy some more...

Hi Wayne,
If you want the developers to see your suggestion please put it in the Suggestions section where they look at them. You can't start a new thread there, but you can reply to one that fits your suggest.

Agreed. They also need to add bonuses for them just like the other items had when they first went live!

To the Dev's
I have usually been one of the first to complain or bring the attention to problems that stem from a new release. I also generally back that up with why can't these problems be tested pre-release. Not this time!! I would like to commend Raul and his team for the new release, the new tools, the great restaurant, and other new items that were released with NO problems or issues. This is a great showing of your dedication to the task and the quality to back it up. I haven't seen many releases in the past that there weren't 3 or 4 new notes about getting something fixed. It is great and makes me smile. I hope the adjustments to ingredients that you will release soon will also make us all smile. Thanks so much for this game and your work to make it the best on FB.

Hi iadiedee,
Click on the bent arrow (for shortcuts), next to the save button in upper right corner of your farms. There are instructions in that on how to replace those shorcuts.

Hi Isabella,
No it has not happened. Considering that hurricane Matthew is ravaging the eastern coast of the US, I am sure that the developers have been a little busy with the weather and aftermath. I am sure they will resume getting those out as soon as possible.

Thank you for letting me know. I had no idea that they were in the path of the storm or if any of the employees were. Of course I completely under stand and hope all that are in the path stay safe. I'm in the northeast and it looks like we will have minor issues of rain and higher tides, but nothing like I have been witnessing on the television.

Thank you again.

Hi rockcandymountain,

There's no news on this yet. It may be delayed due to the hurricane in that part of the US which they may have had to deal with.

When may this be released? The latest update mentioned a few days.

Slashkey is located in the Miami-Dade County of Florida. Hurricane Matthew did not make land fall in Florida,it tracked quite close up the east coast and a lot of area's were hit with 100+ mph winds and heavy rainfall and this has cause damage to power and telecoms.

Also it was forecast that Matthew could of made landfall, so a lot of people were told to evacuate the coastal area's, when the state of emergency was declared so there is a good chance a lot of Slashkey workers have not return yet or are dealing with damage to there homes.

So I think at the present time we forget about what happening with the update and pray that everyone is safe and wish them a speedy recover.

My only complaint is that when you say a few days for something to come out, please make it a few days. The core ingredients upgrade still isn't out after 8 days. I would rather you say nothing and then just spring it on us a big surprise.

Hi ScottD,
The offices for Slashkey are located in Miami, FL and the have been dealing with hurricane Matthew and the aftermath of it since shortly after the release. Please be patient until they can get everything back to normal and get the rest of the release done.

This is not a problem for me but is for some of my neighbors. In the neighborhood quest this week I my group has 32 factories and those competing have from 25 to 40 so we all have a fair shake of winning. One of my neighbors which has 32 in his group is in 9th place but the farmer in 1st place has 404 factories. When is the changes that was listed going to be put in place.
c) Released changes to the Neighborhood Chains Contest so competing neighborhoods are more balanced in terms of the amount of participating facilities each neighborhood has in the contest.
Thanks for a game that is fun to play, most of the time.

Hi PawPaw,
Those changes were already released. They would have to know how many facilities that person showed when the selections were made. The person with 404 may have had a lot of neighbors add new facilities and/or more neighbors start loading their own facilities.

Possible glitch?
When at the market, it shows I have 1 lettuce crop, as well as many other crops showing as 1 quantity.
When I go to my facilities manager and go to the Sandwich factory, I click on a sammie that uses lettuce, I click on ingredients and it shows I have 225K lettuce.
Stressful at first . . . then I realize the Market data in incorrect.

Hi Rugged Barbie:)

Please go back to Market and then check your filter in A/Z option. If it is set to Stored amount, then you will first see the smallest amount for an item and you have to scroll down to find the other amount for it. This happens in Stored amount as the boxes for items are divided.

If you set the A/Z option to Alphabetically then you will see both kind of boxes ( regular and large) one beside the other and if you add both amount you will get the correct amount for that item.

Slashkey is located in the Miami-Dade County of Florida. Hurricane Matthew did not make land fall in Florida,it tracked quite close up the east coast and a lot of area's were hit with 100+ mph winds and heavy rainfall and this has cause damage to power and telecoms.

Also it was forecast that Matthew could of made landfall, so a lot of people were told to evacuate the coastal area's, when the state of emergency was declared so there is a good chance a lot of Slashkey workers have not return yet or are dealing with damage to there homes.

So I think at the present time we forget about what happening with the update and pray that everyone is safe and wish them a speedy recover.

My prayers and well wishes to all. Thank you for the information.

Many players discussed lack of ebony lumber pile all the time. I see every lumber pile except the one needed is increased?

And blue ink more than other inks. And pork more than anything else in the truck.

But this is a nice start, hoping ebony, blue ink and pork can come next:)

Just wondering.. I appreciate that fact you increased the items that you did but the ones you are completely ignoring is the Fishings items.. Cod, Lobster, Squid and Yellowtail. We cannot get these items as gifts and you have them is a lot of facilities ingredients. I can't afford to buy all the Big Seacoast or Big Lake with Boat items to get the inventory to fill all the products. Please tell me that you will be dealing with this in the near future. I know I can get the Train to bring me some more (another $$ item), but I feel the amount which the train brings does not warrant the expense of buying a train to do it. Is there any future plans to increase either the quantities, or make them "Giftable"?

Nope. It is still open, so there must not be problems people think relate to the update. If you're confused because the date still reads September when it is more than half way into October, it's perfectly understandable though! :p The updates have been monthly for some time now.
