Thanks!!!

Love the new tools

[FCM]

Thank you for the new release.

I still can't "Start All" or "Load All" Facs and clients on WF37.

[dodgejohnson]

The facility manager still will not load all or start all. Products disappearing from storage.

[Quilted Acres]

I am just glad you are all ok. I am a Sr. citizen and can't afford FC. I just do the best I can with what I have. I think lives are more important than a game. I hope everyone can be patient with the game situation. It takes awhile to get back on your feet. Thank you for letting us play the best game on Facebook.

[Tiger]

Thanks very much Raul and team :)

[JudyD1651]

Thanks Raul and team. :) Good to have you back. New FT releases/updates are like Christmas mornings. Farm Town is the best game on Face Book.

Hi nibovee :)

Please exit the game and then load it again and try to load your facilities.

If that doesnt work for you, then try clearing your memcache (link below), a new window will open with a short list of unsettings, close that window and your farm if it was opened during the clearing. Then reopen and check the Start All and Load All buttons in the Facility manager again.

[Texas Belle]

Thanks for the release, and thanks for the fixing of the of the Star All and Load All more than anything.. waiting for the facilities, you guys rock...

[nibovee]

thxs for your answer. I did clear memcache, I did reload game. Im afraid it still does not work for me.

I understand that you are behind and I am fine with waiting for the new stuff, but can we get at least the old halloween stuff back in the store. New stuff would be cool too but I can wait a week or two for that.

Try clearing the FT cache using the link in my signature and then reloading the game. It was fixed only a short time ago.

It is now working, I cleared the memcache, thank you so much

[Dutch85]

Raul and team...I'm so thankful that you are all ok! Thank you for the new toys. Take your time with the rest...I just appreciate you all so much!

i cant get into my new farm 34, bought all the extensions & the buildings i wanted, then when i went to the barns to load them, i got to the peacocks for the chicken house and it quit, i cant get into it at all now

[Kathy813]

When I went to the marketplace to sell my goods, I selected All and then Selected. But the usual ordering did NOT occur. Always the selected items have appeared at the top of the list but not today. The ordering seems to still be Alphabetical. Very strange! Was this re-ordering intentional or is there a glitch?:confused:

[NJones277]

Thanks for the update. Glad all you guys are safe. An interesting issue - when I reloaded the game, the trees (chop) were chopped. These were all on the new farm. I didn't do it. The chopped trees had come out of my storage. Those I added from the store were not chopped.

[maple54]

I can only purchase items in the store from winter

Thanks Raul!

Hi beverduster :)

Do you still have problems to load your farm 34?

I just visited your farms and your default farm is 1, so please, if you still have problems, uncheck everything in your preferences, the wrench, while you are on farm 1 and then try to load farm 34 again.

[marymarcel]

Hi NJones :)

When you place chop trees on your farm from storage, they will show up as chopped, only if you purchase them in the store, you will be able to chop them inmediately.

Hi Kathy :)

We just emailed the developers about this to let them check

[marymarcel]

Hi maple54 :)

What happens when you try to purchase items from other tabs in the store?

I just tried some tabs and they are working fine for me.

Please try clearing your memcache (link below), a new window will open with a short list of unsettings. Close that window and your farm if it was open during the clearing. Then reopen your farm and check the store again.

[sestree]

Thank you ! I was so surprised when I accidentally went to the realtor's office and found farm 34. Now I just have to find room for the new facilities ........ more reorganizing.

[NJones277]

Tried to change my farm 34 name, like I do with all of them. With the help of my personal programmer, we found that the name change with 2 emojis reverts back to the last name with only one emoji. All my other farms are "Emoji - Farm Name - Emoji". Don't know if this has to do with the update or not, just thought the devs might find it interesting and tell me how I can get two emojis on my Farm 34. I was trying to change it to "�� Ghosties' Retreat ��" No hurry. Thanks

I just cleared memcache, went back into the game and Farm 34 is back to the original name - no emojis/symbols, no "Ghosties' Retreat". ???

OK, I figured it out. We can have symbols, but not emogis. Sorry about all this, but we learned something. I would be nice to be able to have a couple of emogis in a farm name. Just a thought. :)

maybe its due to all those loose animals in the centre of your farm that is causing the problem..

now to save for farm 34 :)

I gifted myself one of the new Harvester EX 8x8 tool from another account, and although it shows in the farm cash activity logs on both ends, the harvester did not show up in my gift box .. since this one didnt show up holding off sending the rest of the set to get the new combine

put in help/support too , wasnt sure which one to put it in....

[marymarcel]

t y marymarcel, my default is fm 33, ,, ok ill try it, t y

Hi beverduster :)

I'm sorry it didnt work for you. I am able to load your farm 34 with everything hidden and only animals showing up. But you know, that when a farmer visits other farm we can only see some animals, not all, so we dont get loading issues.

So the animals showed up in the middle of your farm when we visit are indeed not the total amount you have there.

Sadly we cant store the animals for you, so you need to continue trying to load that farm and slowly placing the animals in their buildings. You also have animals which have no use, so if you can load that farm, I would suggest you to sell them.

You can also try clearing your memcache (link below), a new window will open with a short list of unsettings. Close that window and your farm if it was opened during the clearing. Then reopen your farms and try to load farm 34 again.

I was wondering.. if you have a super neighbor, are they able to load the farm, ticking the box to show animals after the farm loads, and perhaps they can sell the animals.. not sure it that is possible or not, but one of the mods will perhaps be able to clarify this... it would be a way to solve the problem..

thanks marymarcel, I just tested it and you are correct... a super neighbor can move the animals around but is unable to do anything else with them.. so happy we have such a great support team and the problem has been fixed, those pesky animals are sometimes more trouble than they are worth, :)

[Farmer_Susan]

So happy to have you back and that you're safe! Hope the clean-up isn't too bad.

Thanks so much for the new stuff. :)

I have just been to the market to sell excess animals (several hundred not needed) and it is showing that they are worth nothing ( 0 )! In fact all items in store (including tools) show zero! Is this just a glitch? I have used memcache cleaner and browser history has been cleared.

I have the same thing at the marketplace. Anything under the "Items" tab - all shows "0" value. Additionally under the "Gifts" tab I get the pop up that says "You dont have any gifts to sell etc etc". Even though I have a gift in my gift box. The Storage tab is fine I can sell my ingredients and products.

Hi max_river :)

Facebook has reopened their ticket on this issue and we have to wait for them to fix it.

You might try the following, but you do have to be really quick to do it and it may not always work. As soon as the window opens that normally shows your friends, QUICKLY "right click" your mouse on "All Farmers" at the top left of the box and then chose "open in a new tab". This should open a new window with your friends in it, that doesn't shrink.

[maggiel29]

Thanks Raul for fixing the problem with the market place so quick :)

Hi
I am having some problems and I don't know why.
1. unable to load all or start all.
2. unable to accept all gifts
3. ships times for containers are off. It will say 7 minutes to load when it is 4.8 minutes left. or 2 minutes left when it is 0.2 minutes left.

3. ships times for containers are off. It will say 7 minutes to load when it is 4.8 minutes left. or 2 minutes left when it is 0.2 minutes left.

Hi cgsfarm :)

Please try the following suggestions and check if they help you.

1. Try clearing your memcache (link below), you will see a new window with a short list of unsettings. Close that window and the farm if it was opened during the clearing. Then reopen your farms and try to Start all and Load all buttons again.
https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?do=clear_memcached

If they still dont work, please explain what happens when you click the buttons or if you receive any messages.

2. Are you getting the shrink window when you try to accept gifts? If so, Facebook has reopen the ticket about this issue and we have to wait for them to fix this.
Meanwhile, When you get the box that comes up with your friends in it, quickly "right click" your mouse on the "All Farmers" at the top left of the box, and then choose "open in a new tab". You should then get a full size window that does not shrink allowing you to click the "Send" button.

3. For ships containers, check if the problems corrected after clearing your memcache. Also, check date (day, month and year) and time in your computer. If any of them are not right, this kind of problems usually happens.
EDIT TO ADD: are you seeing the load time changes while you are loading the containers? If so, the reason the times change is that ships on the Dispatched list show a date and time they were dispatched. When they reach exactly 7 days to the second then they drop off the list. When that happens then your number of dispatched ships in the last 7 days drops by one, changing the preparation time.

Hi all :)

From Raul notes for the New Release:

Post-Release Updates - October 2nd, 3:40PM

- Released old Halloween items.

[jeannine_p]

thanks for the Halloween decorations!!! WOOT WOOT!!

[leighwj1960]

It looks like they are working on something. I went to start something in my facilities last night and noticed that about a dozen of them were missing all from my Farm 1. After comparing my inventory spreadsheet to the list in Facility Manager I realized that about half the missing were Farm Cash facilities but after reloading the farm it looks like everything came back.

Hi leighwj1960 :)

You did it ok. If you cant see the facilities on a farm but they are showing up in the Facility manager, then it is good to reload the game and check again. In case the facilities still are not showed up on the farm, then you would need to clear your browser cache where all the graphics are stored.

HI I cant send gifts or send train boost again. Same issue as a few weeks ago.

Hi dave1949 :)

Yes, we know that some users are getting the shrinking window again. The developers let us know that Facebook has reopened the ticket about this issue but sadly the only thinkg we can do is to wait till Facebook fixes the problem.

Meanwhile and as a workaround, when you get the box that comes up with your friends in it, quickly "right click" your mouse on the "All Farmers" at the top left of the box, and then choose "open in a new tab". You should then get a full size window that does not shrink allowing you to click the "Send" button.

I was wondering where the new Facilities are, and if we are getting new Halloween stuff?

[Qivis]

I was wondering where the new Facilities are, and if we are getting new Halloween stuff?

Often times the new Facility release time is an estimate and not set in stone because the developers do not want to introduce new problems by failing to thoroughly test them before they do. As for the new Halloween stuff, "Only The Shadow Knows..." to quote an old radio show from before I was born. :D

I am having some problems and I don't know why.

2. unable to accept all gifts
3. ships times for containers are off. It will say 7 minutes to load when it is 4.8 minutes left. or 2 minutes left when it is 0.2 minutes left.

I have a friend who is having the same problem. She cleared all her caches etc and it's still happening.

I just tried mine and they are fine. Maybe there is a glitch with some people.

You can tell your friend to try the suggestions given to cgsfarm in the following link:

http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6193738#post6193738

Also ask them to check if they have enough fuel to Start all and Load all.

[bruhelmboldt]

Thanks for the new stuff, Raul! Very kewl!! You guys ROCK!!!

[RichmondGuy]

Brilliant. More facs that require stuff we're already short on, no matter how hard we try.
Appreciate the efforts, guys, but try playing the game.

[mcdaddie]

Are you guys for real. I have 34 sawmills making Ebony Lumber as fast as it can make. If I put my facs out for hire just ONCE a week I am in the red on Ebony lumber and now your new facs use even more of it. How are we supposed to get more beside 34 sawmills, 7 ships, and 2 trains???

[RichmondGuy]

Obvious. Spend more real $$ on trains, not that they give that much lumber, but hey-ho.

Thanks Raul for the fabulous update. Wish I had more FC Oh well that a plague on old folks living on fixed income. FT keeps me entertained.

[Granny Goodwitch]

More fun = thanks! HOWEVER, whatever happened to the FT Landscape Service? I tought it would, for sure, be included in this update because I received a coop quest to load the manure spreader in it. Not a problem, mot a complaint, just curious.

[Wendiddy]

Another facility that uses metal and lumber and no increase in Metal Mill or Saw Mill production.
Other than that, thanks for the new stuff and for your hard work.

Hi Granny Goodwitch,
The FTown Landscaping Service was released in a previous release. You would not receive a co-op quest for a facility that isn't available.

Other than that, thanks for the new stuff and for your hard work.
Hi Wendiddy,
Raul added this note at the bottom of the release:
Note:: After the release of the Facility Chains feature we will dedicate time to decrease shortages of some high demand ingredients in the game.

[Sqrl]

It's a small thing but on my farm the Shelf Genie is a Shelf Gennie. It's kinda funny tho.

[Time1ess]

Why do all the new restuarants have to be farm cash?

[barbara nixon]

thanks alot, keep up the good work..now go over to fb and show them how to fix things....lol

[cbl456]

It would be greatly appreciated if you would fix the time delay that occurs when collecting FC. It seems like the delay has gotten longer and longer. I, and others have asked you to fix this multiple times. thank you.

[VondaK]

Thank you. So enjoy the game. Only complaint is that it's addicting...

[OrcaLinda]

Thank you for all the updates...Love it when we get them..

[kidwboro]

I get to draw upon the surplus of linen yarns ( have over 3 million in stock)
and obtain a huge profit margin in manufacturing of the new lace rolls (45x gain, awesome). Reminds me of rye flour, it's 300 coins apiece, and makes six loaves of 1000-coin rye breads per batch.
Thanks for making a way for me to put my surpluses to use. The more the merrier.

Yay - thanks for this and the new Facs Raul - you guys must have been working all night clearing up after the storm and doing this for us.

[cjbraswell]

thank you so much Raul and team for the outstanding job you have done this month! i personally did not expect an update at all this month with the troubles that you had, to me you guys went above and beyond for us!

[Moose Maid]

Thanks for the new Halloween goodies.

[artbee]

will never get the horrible restrictive old fashion lingering factory.
But approval of shelf's and cabinets

[knolan]

The criteria for determining whether or not to charge Farm Cash or Coins should not be based on 'premium ingredients'. It should be based on player satisfaction. That is the only premium reason that someone would decide to continuing playing.

[Dan H]

Nice release! Good job and great recovery!!! Thank you, Raul and team.

[pkd868893]

Thank you for the new facs and tools. Wonderful but I am sure hoping that we soon can get a EX bulldozer. I would sure not mind spending 50 FC for one. I use mine all the time. Thank you for any help.

So many new advances and so little posibilities to get extra cash, if we don't buy.... we don't get a thing! No chances for people living with little money

Thank you.

Thanks for the updates, but isn't calling it "evil eggplant" a redundancy? Eggplant IS evil already!

please address spandex shortage

One Petrochemical plant makes 320 units a day of Spandex fiber. One Textile and Spinning mill that makes the elastic only requires 60 units of Spandex per day. I would check the ration of Petrochemical plants you own vs. the number of Textile mills you own and adjust accordingly.

I decided a few years ago to just not buy the Farmcash Factories when released I only buy the coin factories .. I save my won & awarded Farmcash just for any new tools I want .. but you can spend $9 for Farmcash every once in awhile for yourself .... Treat yourself , if you play for your entertainment it is worth it ..

[dofford]

Glad the team is going to look at the big shortages.

I have played Farm Town on and off, more on than off since July 14, 2009.

I like what you have done with the game especially the tools, all the Plow/Plant/Harvest Tool has made a vast improvement in dealing with these tasks. The complementary ones to make working other people’s farms are excellent also. We have come a long ways since the 1 and 2 field tools. Also the automation of the loading and unloading of the facilities was a great improvement. The introduction of the trains and how they help to automate the working of friend’s facilities by using the mayor to work them, really advanced the game.

By the way, with any acute shortage of any of the feed products or ingredients, I have put 33 of these factories or tools in service and still can’t keep up. It hasn’t mattered whether it was bought by coins or FC, we put as many of them in service as we could. We also put as many trains and ships in the system and have them feeding products into the system. There are all sorts of approaches that could be taken. More trains on farms. Take out the restriction of the number of trains on an account, increase the products in each car, introduce super cars or reduce the time it takes to turn them around, 2x the boosts to 24 from 12. Trains are very popular for both the owner and the people boosting (accelerating them) them. When they come in and are unloaded, they provide a big boost to the goods available to be loaded into the facilities.

Of course there is another solution to some of these problems and that would be to double the production while using the same raw materials.

If we ever introduce the Super Facility, we should increase the production of course and the reduced use of raw materials as you did in the Stone Mill and Red Mill Example.
Red Mill – to make 5 Flour it takes 10 Wheat in 30 minutes
Stone Mill – to make 15 Flour it takes 10 Wheat in 30 minutes
That is quite an advantage, tripling the production, using the same amount of raw materials to get the increases needed.

For instance: The production of Air Filter Masks takes 1 Paper Roll and 1 Rubber Tree to produce 100 Air Filter masks. If we went to 200 masks, we could use ½ the raw materials for the same amount of products. This could be one of the features of the Super Facilities that are bought with FC. We could also increase right away the production with fewer raw materials to improve the immediate situation. Then introduce the Super Facility with the improved production amounts with the use of fewer raw materials. The 7th Dan degree is another help to this problem.

These are just a list of musings and a wish list on what we need and how we might be able to fix them..

So here is a list of acute shortages:

1 .What we need now is increased production of lumber piles from the Sawmills. One way would be to reduce production time from 2 hrs to 1.

The other thing you could do with all of these shortages is introduce a Super Sawmill that could be bought with FC like the Stone Windmill (FC) and Red Windmill (Coin) for flour production. We should be able to have the have both kinds on a farm if we choose, just like we do with the Windmills. It would be advantageous to have the items linked also. In the Windmills, if we turn of the Flour Production off in the Red Windmill, it turns it off in the Stone Windmill also. This is a great feature that should be copied.

2. We need an increase of all the metal sheet production by doubling all 5 in the Metal Mill. I f we get too much of the brass and carbon steel sheets we can turn them off.

Same as in item 1, make a Super Metal Mill, bought with FC, with 3x the production of metal sheets. We should be able to have the have both kinds on a farm if we choose, just like we do with the Wind Mills.

3. We need an increase in the containers produced in the Fish Farming Plant 50 %. That would give us more opportunity to expand our restaurants to feed into the new market for those products.

4. We need an increase in the production of Honey in the Bee Farm by 50 %. I have 33 Bee farms and still can’t supply all of my honey needs.

5. We need an increase in the ink production by 100 % (meaning double it) in the Ink & Pigment Factory. Again I have 33 factories and try everything but am woefully short all the time.

Same as in item 1, make a Super Ink & Pigment Factory, bought with FC, with 3x the production of ink. We should be able to have the have both kinds on a farm if we choose, just like we do with the Wind Mills.

6. We need an increase in production of Silver & Gold Nuggets in the Mineral Mine by 50 % now.

The other fix would be same exactly as Item 1.

7. We need an increase in production of Talc & Marble Rock and Baking Soda by 100 % in the Open-Pit Mine.

The other fix would be same exactly as Item 1.
8. We need an increase in the production of bread in the Bakery. An 100% increase would be much appreciated.

The other fix would be same exactly as Item 1.

9. We need an increase in the Strawberry-Choco Bar in the Ice Cream Factory by 50 %.

10. We need an increase in the production of Cheese in the Dairy Processing Plant by 100%. I have 33 plants and still can’t keep up.

The other fix would be same exactly as Item 1.

11. We need an increase in Paper Roll & Cardstock production in the Paper Mill by 100 %. Again I have 33 Paper Mills and can’t keep up.

The other fix would be same exactly as Item 1.

12. We need to increase all 8 of the rolls by 50 % in the Textile and Spinning Mill.

The other fix would be same exactly as Item 1.

13. We need to increase the production of the Sugar Refinery and it would help if we improved the output and with just a little more of the raw materials used to create the increase in production. One suggestion would be to double the production and reduce the raw product used. Right now it takes 10 Sugarcane to make 15 Sugar in 2 Hrs. We could produce 40 Sugar using 20 Sugarcane in 2 Hrs, or 10 Sugarcane to make 20 Sugar in 1 Hr.

The other fix would be same exactly as Item 1.

Hopefully these suggestions will help you decide how to fix our shortages

[Eradani]

strictly speaking, this applies to the last update and not this one but i think the devs have been just a trifle busy in the past few weeks

i like how the outlines go on/off when toggling graphics except when i am making a tree or flower farm. i'm wondering if you could put just enough of a tint where an item is to be able to tell the difference from an empty spot.

i used to turn them off/on a few times and then i could see where trees were missing but now you can't tell as empty spaces with 4 neighbors appear the same as filled ones.

after my bought 26x26 for farm 17 and since the oak were now 1x1, i tried to fill in the gaps on farm 17 and my eyes bled profusely trying to find the holes. i'm sure i still didn't find them all. i'm getting to 26 with my shake and flower farms and want to redo them but can't even imagine stressing my eyes out like that again :eek:

thx for your consideration

[Anne Stallard]

Eradani, when I wanted to add oak trees after they became 1x, I put all of the existing oak trees into storage and then replanted them and then added the extras. Much easier than trying to fill in the gaps. It's much easier on the eyes too. :)

that would work if i had blocks of the same tree. i make my tree farms packed full but with the trees randomized all over the place

Please let Raul and the rest of the team know that we gamers and computer builders, computer engineers, electrical engineers, etc. know how difficult it is to diagnose a server when it develops hiccups - especially via remote - and that the entire team's efforts are very appreciated! :)

Hi Tom C,
In this case that was not possible because they had to deal with hurricane Irma, so a lot of this release was delayed while they dealt with damage and no power or internet.

i remember when i first started playing FT, we would get a new release every 3 or 4 months. im really happy that has changed over the years. im also super thankful everyone made it thru irma safely. thanks for all you do, devs and team! mods included!!
