New Release -- September 18th, 2014
 
See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last updates released on October 3rd, 9:00PM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. 25 New levels: Top level is now 575.

2. 40 x 40 Farm Expansions for farms 11 - 15: 30 FarmCash OR 20,000,000,000 coins

3. Cooperative Quests: This new type of quests will be all about interacting with your friends, this is how it works:

- They will be completely separate from the current quests and will have it's own Cooperative Quest Manager
- Owner must complete the last quest step by itself by starting/loading products in a facility, and complete the rest of the steps by buying products from friends either actively or passively
- To buy products actively, say product X, a user must open their friend's Cooperative Quest Managers and look for quests containing product X and then buy it.
- If you don't find product X in your friends Cooperative Quests you can buy it passively by dropping the yellow Help icon over product X so when friends visit and check your Cooperative Quests they can sell it to you.

***Additional Info***

- Your friends doesn't have to be online for you to buy products from them and they don't have to approve the transaction either, a user that decides to participate in Cooperative Quests must be willing to sell some products to their friends for their Cooperative Quests
- As days goes by and people create more Cooperative Quests the available products to buy should increase
- The owner can request help from friends only on a certain number of steps per quest
- When a friend sells you products and help you complete a quest step you will see his picture inside that quest step
- You can open a friend Cooperative Quest Manager from your neighbour bar. Each neighbour with
unfinished cooperative quests will have a blue circle on the corner.
- You can also open a friend Cooperative Quest Manager using the blue quest icon shown at the bottom left when you visit their farms and they have unfinished cooperative quests
- In the first release the rewards will be only coins until we fine tune the system, later on we will offer Farm Cash prizes as well

4. Super Rabbit Hutch and Super Stables: Double Capacity. Increase 2 times harvest speed for Rabbits and 6 times for Horses.

Post Release Updates - October 1st, 1:00AM EST

- You can now buy (not sell) products from strangers and not just friend or neighbours. You can open a stranger Cooperative Quest Manager when you visit the farm or through his avatar menu. The only difference is that when you buy from them you will be paying 100 times more coins compared to buying from a friend or neighbour, ie: if you have 2 quests requiring 1 product X each and the sale price of product X is 300, when you buy from a stranger the transaction will cost you 2 * 300 * 100 = 60000 coins instead of 600.
- You can open your own Cooperative Quest Manager when visiting other players farms using the blue Quest Manager icon in your toolbox.
- Bigger prize when completing a Cooperative Quest, double the coins. Farmcash prizes coming in a future release, they will be equivalent to Regular Quest Farmcash prizes, meaning you will be able to earn from 1 to 8 farm cash a month however the requirements for collection may be different.
- If you use a help note to ask for help on a step requiring product X and then went to check your friends Cooperative Quests and found a product X and buy it, your help note on product X will be released and available to use on another step.
- "Order by Cooperative Quests" option added to the neighbour bar menu
- The Collect Coins button is now hidden on other people Cooperative Quests for finished quests

Hi Aussie Rae,
I have already reported this to Raul. Hopefully he will get it fixed shortly.

max_river Sep 18 2014 08:42 PM

ty ty ty ty ty and ty for the update

anstar Sep 18 2014 09:01 PM

I was hoping for an increase in the capacity of storage for the existing stable, since it's a FC purchase, but holds the same amount as all the coin purchase 'barns'. Instead, I got the option to spend more FC to buy a bigger stable. <sigh> Buying another dairy barn, or chicken coop to put on another farm is pretty simple, so the 180 limit isn't such a big deal, but for those horses...FC are a precious commodity to me. I wish I could buy more. I can't.

Granny45 Sep 18 2014 09:36 PM

thanks for the great upgrade

rodneycs Sep 18 2014 09:43 PM

New levels, new facilities BUT it is almost FOUR weeks since I have had any access to the Market Place. Have heard nothing from Support other than the acknowledgement. An extremely unhappy farmer.

JAS0643 Sep 18 2014 10:26 PM

Thank you for the upgrade. Since it is 9/18 can we get the Halloween decorations now. At lease last years would be good that way we don't have to wait till the next update and get them like 2 weeks before Halloween.

HelenJS22 Sep 18 2014 10:41 PM

Thank you
