Glad you were able to buy them finally. I actually meant you have to buy the 6 x 6 seeder and harvester first before you can buy the combines as is usualy with combines.

When will be getting new levels?

Didn't we just get them a few months ago?

The land expansions at 25,000,000,000 are still tooooo expensive. Why can't they make them reasonable enough for us to afford them? If you want players to purchase FarmCash, make it affordable for them to enlarge their farms first, so they have room for the items purchased with FarmCash. I think it's less likely they will purchase FarmCash for land than for Facilities.

Thank you for the updates!

Seems that you all are focused on the "ships" to the exclusion of the rest of the farm. None of this stuff matters to those of us that are not doing the "ships". You are taking a chance of losing the farm focused people. Is this what we have to look forward to now?

FC sales
 

How about every once in a while, putting FarmCash on sale. Many of us don't have the ability to spend $5 a shot for only 25 FC. Thanks!

Hi rjfxvii,
Please post your suggestion in the Suggestions section where the developers can see all of them together. You can not start a new thread there, but you can reply to one that fits your suggestion.

We will get them in June. We get them every 3 months the last level update was in March

Wow, someone's using their brain. *gasp* Totally agree! I have no idea how many coconuts/avocados/apples/oranges/LEMONS I have planted but why do I need so many??? Surely you get more than one per tree in the real world. I suppose we may get this someday in the form of a new tool that costs farm cash to double or triple our harvests. I have 4 farms of JUST TREES plus trees 8 deep on the outer edges of almost all of my 20 farms. =( This could be applied to flowers as well. I have 2.3 farms of just flowers! I have actually gone through and calculated how much I would need to grow to stock my facilities and not run short. One thing I can say about this game is that my math skills have not diminished. ROTFL!!!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one having this issue. Seems my water items don't disappear once emptied as well so I may move on to the next water item that is slightly overlapped to make it appear larger. Hope this clears up in the next few days as it is very annoying.

YES!!! ME TOO!!!! I hated having duplicates of my harvests stored. Maybe I'll start hiring farmers to work for me again! YAY!!! :D

Edit: Nope, not upgraded for me yet. =( Wait, is this just for seed crops or for everything?

More like a few weeks ago. LOL =)

Hi Time1ess,
It is for everything that you would get large,and regular boxes.
"When sorting by Stored Amount in Storage and Market screens, first the regular and large boxes are combined for every product and then the sort is presented, for ex: if you have 1000 regular cotton boxes and 2000 (Large) cotton boxes, we will assume your total cotton stored is 3000 and will place it accordingly in the crops list"

I follow the Facebook Games page as from time to time they will post that some store (Target, Dollar General) is running a sale on Facebook gift cards, generally at gift giving times like Christmas. In December I got a $40 gift card for $32.

Thank you
 

Thank you very much Raul for the new release!

New Crop Tools
 

Sorry but I think these as unfair to people on the lower levels (I'm 589) It's just to confusing when you try to buy them. For example the 5x5 tells me I can only send it. I'm up to the yellow (again confusing as I don't know how many fields it plowes at once) yet I can't buy the 5x5 ?

Sorry but to me it's just another money making scheme by Slashkey. I know they have to make money but ATM I spend $50/$70 a month so I can't afford any more. Maybe if they explained what is needed in the tools section to buy one, like they do with the other ones...4x4 harvester, plower, planter to get the combine I'd buy them but for now, sorry.

Hi CraigTH,
It is explained in the Game Guide Tools chapter. You need to own the tools at the 16x16 level before you can purchase the EX tools. These are not new tools for the lower 5x5 and 6x6 level tools as they do 16x16 and higher amounts of fields if they are overlapped.

The brain part is the interesting part for me on this game. I will leave the decorating angle to others.... I am up to 296,484 trees spread out over 8 farms (all layered twice - or equivalent to two farms each for a total of 16 farms worth of trees). Of these 14,129 are coconuts..... I track the balances in a spreadsheet to make sure there is enough of everything and the balance is increasing... Also have 165,698 flowers spread over 3 farms - (yup layered to give me equivalent of 6 farms). Was able to max out the size of all my farms. One farm of water items only.... Got to get the fishes. I plant all the trees on a farm based on their growing time to ensure everything on that farm is ready at the same time. Irrigate and manure them to increase yield :)

Challenge for me is to manage whole operation to maximize production and generate lot of coins...

So the new tools are great, and so is the new land expansions... Gives me more room for trees when needed....

Why is it taking forever for to save harvested items before I can go on to the next farm. That is the reason I stopped playing Farmville. Too much time was spent WAITING AND DOING NOTHING. I hope this gets fixed soon.

Hi phsl,
Try clicking on the Save button to get the game to save anything lft before you move to another farm. It could though have to do with the fact more players are on due to this release.
Things do tend to slowdown when we have a release, because more are on at the same time than the servers normally experience. This should go back to normal in a couple days.

I don't know why you don't wait until you are actually READY to launch some new item to announce it !! When you promise things and then don't deliver, it just makes everybody cranky !!

About every 3 months. It's in the Forum - News & Announcements - New Release - release info is published with every new release.

Thanks for the update......but......I'm harvesting with my friend and what takes us half an hour to do is up to 50 minutes now. We should be just finishing up his farms and we are still on mine!!!!

Things tend to be slower after an update that will come back to normal in one or two days when there will be less players on the servers all at the same time

Forum Discussions
 

I agree with you about the use of this string in the forum, but may I make another suggestion to users? We ALL love this game and always look forward to the improvements. It's not necessary to send thanks each time. If we didn't love it, we'd leave it. These messages unnecessarily fill up the discussions and make it hard to find the help we are looking for. We're already on page 11 and the new release just came out.

I don't like the update for fishing. My ponds are stacked and it takes longer to fish.

Storage sorting not doing as the update says it would. Also it sorts items from least to most, shouldn't it list from most to least.

But is isn't totaling large and regular then large, then small. I don't see ANY totaled.

Also, suggestion, would LOVE sort by VALUE at the Market.
Thank you.

When fishing with my brown boat, the finished areas are taking a long time to disappear so I can see what needs to be fished without moving my mouse off the game. It's taking longer to fish :( Will this be fixed or is this now the new normal?

Hi John,
The sorting has to be set to sort by Stored Amount. Yes it still sorts smallest amout to largest. You will not see the total, but it is now totals the crop amounts by adding the large and regular boxes together and then placing that crop in order by amount.
As Raul's example said if you have 2,000 large boxes of tomatoes and 1,000 regular boxes then it totals those to equal 3,000. Now if you also had 2,000 large boxes of rice and 1,010 regular boxes. Then the order you would see for those two would be tomatoes first and rice second.

I agree, we spent real money to get the turbo boat and it's now so slow. I disagree it has to do with the amount of people playing the game due to the new update. It's mentioned in the update with very vague reference to may be slower or faster. What sort of comment is that for goodness sake!!!

We purchase the bigger tools expecting it to be faster for us...not slower!!

My list in by stored amount only shows regular then large. There is no total shown so I would have to do the addition in my head?

I would also love to be able to sort by value at the market. It would be an ENORMOUS help.

Hi John, Yes you would have to do the math in your head. The totalling is not printed out for you. It is done with in the program so it can sort the whole crop by the correct order. Before you saw the regular boxes in one place in the list and the large in another position. Now you see them together next to each other.

If you want to make a suggestion please post it in the Suggestions section.

I agree with this. Especially for trees and flowers, the ghost/shadow makes it harder to select the next area to harvest, and now I see that the the ghost/shadow business has been applied to the water features too, when it didn't used to be. It certainly doesn't add to the user's experience, and as John said, it seems like it is EXTRA work for the program and server to have them first ghost, then disappear. I wish things would just disappear immediately once they've been harvested.

i guess we are getting the new stuff tonight

bring back the eye, so i can control what i want to see,

In Raul's notes it says Facilities are due later today (Wednesday) and this is Thursday. I don't see them in the store. Any word on when they'll be out?

And re. our posting a quick reply of thanks, it shows the Developers we care and we like the updates and also sets us up for email notifications when others post in this thread.

And re. trees, as I run out of the fruit I go plant more of that tree. The other day I wore myself out planting 1,400 banana trees. Before that it was lemons. Before that it was apples. The increase in need for trees comes with the release of new eateries.

I added a whole lot of coin buildings to Farm 18 this week .... the Neighbourhood chains Contest does not seem to take them into account. I am not sure if it is due to this release or not. I have run MEMCACHE
