DianeCK Aug 14 2014 12:30 PM

thank you so much been waiting great new release..

rodneycs Aug 14 2014 12:32 PM

We haven't the bulldozer yet for 10 x 10 so why carry on with the 12 x 12?? Even better would be a harvest and delete tool. I see no use at all for the havest and plant tools at all. Still the glitches with load facilities still not fixed for Vanilla Ice Cream, Peace essence, rum have not been fixed.

knolan Aug 14 2014 12:41 PM

I would like to see the requirements for the quests changed. I don't think there should be a limit on the number of days. In order to make it fair for everyone, and not just for those who pay real monies to play, but also to allow the beginners the ability to feel like they can compete with their peers. Please, remove the 7 day- 8 quests limit and allow us to collect 2 farmcash when we reach 8 quests completion, regardless of how long it takes someone to finish.

rjohn726 Aug 14 2014 12:47 PM

Looking good

hurican Aug 14 2014 12:49 PM

hi
Thank you for the new release ...... there are a few items that need an increase in production ...... Aluminum an stainless steel sheets .... with the new release .... they each supply 89 an 88 items in facilities ..... the ore supply for each needs to be increased as well .
Kaolin rock, gold nuggets, pile of silver ....... all need to be increased .... with 23 mines ....kaolin rock only produces 15,230 units per week ...... thats used up in one day in facilities ...... we have no other source for these raw materials.
We still need more production on chicken an red meat ......... truck supplies last only 2 days.
I enjoy the game ......its awesome !! .thank you for all your hard work ......... gives me many hrs of serenity.

Earl

Right now the belts are not turned on for the three new crops.:eek: :p

tengunn Aug 14 2014 12:52 PM

Thank you for another fantastic release. I don't think I will ever tire of this game.

In response to the comment about removing the days to get the 8 quest for 2 farm cash. I always get the 2 farm cash usually in 8 days, sometimes 9 days. What I do is I don't do the last step of the quest until I have 4 or 5 ready to complete. Some of them expire faster so you have to complete them. This way I always get 2 farm cash.

I love the quest. I think they are so fun.

Thank you again for all your hard work making this game so fun for all of us.

Debi Ryan Aug 14 2014 01:14 PM

Vicky Vine Aug 14 2014 01:31 PM

bliky Aug 14 2014 01:36 PM

Looks great! Thanks devs.

FCM Aug 14 2014 01:40 PM

Very nice release. I agree that iron ore needs to be increased in production as well as chicken, honey, silver nuggets and mussel containers. PLEASE increase production of these at least

SeaJay Aug 14 2014 02:32 PM

Awwwww. Number 6 sounds completely awesome. I like the idea that you can just visit and have the option to help by opening up the (new) quest manager. YAY. Reasons to interact with our own neighbors more. Love it.

mduby Aug 14 2014 02:39 PM

Thank you Raul!! Looks like excitement, challenge, aand a whole lotta fun!!

Qivis Aug 14 2014 02:49 PM

Oh goody. More 2 hour items to get my 500 million point goal... oh wait a sec. I just reached that last week! Time for a new goal for the year! Aiming for 750 million by Christmas 2014 then.... :p

JW2009 Aug 14 2014 02:59 PM

Hi Rockhopper. That has not been determined yet by the developers. When it is actually released then N will be defined.

I would like to see the requirements for the quests stay just like they are. This is possible to do. Read the thread on quests and you can figure out how to do it. This is FREE money whether I get a $1 or $2.

This is the only game I play that gives you free money!!!


Thanks for the new update Raul!!!! You rock!!!! :D :) :D :)

crafty chris Aug 14 2014 04:31 PM

Agree with you, they are really cute.. the new release is great, but no relief as to me spending hours cutting and harvesting trees and flowers.. wish we could have gotten a one click for all of them at one time.. but besides that the guys like always rock... thanks

One word.... why???

This is a really good game for a lot of reasons, one of which is the effort required to advance. Would you want to make it "fair" and let new players just have multiple farms and tools and factories, just so they can "compete"??

Personally I would be a little peeved to think that my own efforts and expenditures no longer mattered because now I had to play "fair".

oh... and a new player's "peers" .... are other new players.... and they can compete just fine now.

A new player, at say level 50 with a million coin is not a peer to one who has played for 3,4 or 5 years and accumulated hundreds of factories, tools, etc.


:D

barbara nixon Aug 14 2014 04:45 PM
