8. Multi Planters can now be used for plants in your gift box: Just open your Gift Box and click the Multi button on flowers or trees.

9. Ingredient Planner Improvements: Ingredient Planner in the Facility Manager now shows Service Facilities information as well. You now have the option to select specific Service Facilities in the filter.

Merry Christmas Raul...... thanks (glad I got another gift card today...haha)


.

Cool! Happy birthday to me! Thanks, guys! Off to play . . .

Hehehe Dec 20st :D - thanks guys

ok one small problem (for me) when you said the service facilities were included i thought there was going to be a separate button but they are all mixed up so its harder to work out what i need to fill the facilities only ... but i do like the idea (just would like separate button for them please) :)

/happyDance :):):):)

set the fac mgr filter to Service Facilites and then only they will show in the Ingredient Planner.

thanks eradani i wasnt thinking of that (my excuse is thats it is nearly 4 am here lol)

Wow I got back just in time, thanks for the updates, looks great.

Small problem so far - when looking at the facs in the Facility Manager the 'German Restaurant' picture is HUGE compared to the others and is showing on top and nearly covering the 'Open' button.

The other three facs are fine.

Love the new items added to the winter store...I can not wait to see how people use them! Whoopee as always my mind is spinning... Thank you again

Thanks guys from Miami Beach... came in and just knew I would find a news release.. still waiting for my one click harvest of all trees and flowers, lol

You guy are great, wish I knew where you are in Miami so I can thank you in person.. but leaving soon to go back home so maybe on next trip... Love y'all

i had vowed not to buy anymore stand alone FC facilities but i couldn't resist the German Restaurant ;)

BUT....
it has bratwurst on the menu and instead of making bratwurst it uses hot dogs (!!!???)
plus you forgot to put Kirschwasser (cherry liquor) into the black forest torte. and yes, it's a torte and not a cake ;)

gonna love the new animals when they arrive..wishing all the mediators and Devs a Merry Christmas..Happy New Year....!!!!

9. Ingredient Planner Improvements: Ingredient Planner in the Facility Manager now shows Service Facilities information as well. You now have the option to select specific Service Facilities in the filter.

Also, when All Facilities is selected in the Ingredient Planner filter, the results will include ingredient numbers for all the facilities in the current view of the Facility Manager, which may include Regular Facilities, Service Facilities or both.

Thank you, Happy Holidays to all of you at Slashkey, we love ya!!!

hahaha, guess I didn't know what I was reading. Totally misinterpreted this one.

Thank you, sir!! glad to see you still hanging around!

Hi Hyacinth,
Email already sent to developers about this. Should be fixed soon.

thanks raul, there for a moment i thought i was getting a lump of coal, merry christmas to you & the team and the rest of the ft bunch

What does "multi" do again?
 

Did I miss the "multi" tutorial? I've never seen this before and I don't have a clue what it does.

Hi Vince,

Are you referring to the multi planter tool? This allows you to plant multiple trees or flowers from storage, the store and the giftbox :) saves you needing to plant them 1 by 1

i give the rating 8/10, Raul before i comment , let me correct your tiny error
Chineese = Chinese. :)

I am very happy see the improvement made and thanks for the updates.

I hope see other culture restaurant beside German restaurant and etc .

storing things
 

When will we get to use chicle, blue agave, parsnips and royal jelly???

Thanks for the great updates!! Happy holidays to all the fabulous minds!!

I too am doing the happy dance
And thank you - have just learned how to use the filter funnel in the facility manager :D

And new levels on the way - yay
Thanks Devs :D

Unhappy
 

All my 12 x 12s are grayed out so unable to use them also my manure collector...tree shaker and flower harvester have vanished too...not sure if anything else has gone but I had all the biggest tools for all the jobs.... am really peed off as they are quite expensive to replace....last night it was fine and this morning it isnt so I guess its something to do with the update....also my storage has been cut drastically its telling me a lot my neighbours have left me but I have well in excess of a 100 ....no idea if this is why my tools have vanished but having spoken to a girl who has lots of FT groups...she can see the tools in my storage even though I cant....doesnt help that the support link isnt working so I cant report it ....grrrrr!!

Love the new ingredient planner option for Services :)

Thank-you and a Happy Christmas and New Year to all :)

Hi Susan,
I am sorry this is happening. I have just checked and all your tools are there. Tool storage doesn't depend on neighbors for space as those are not counted in your storage space. From what I see you have 107 neighbors. For your missing neighbors and greyed out tools please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close it and your farm, then clear your browser cache and close your browser. Reopen and try again.

The Support link problem has been reported to the developers, so we just have to wait until they find and fix the problem.

WOW!!!! i woke up to find a new release!woot woot!! looks like a lot of fun, cant wait to get all the new stuff, and maybe do a winter themed farm, now you guys just need to add some snowboarders.. my boys do that instead of ski. or maybe some polar bears on snowboards.. you have them on skis from last year. ANYWAY... thanks so much, and merry christmas to the dev team, and all the mods, and everyone else!! :D:D:D

ps... i think a stand alone restaraunt is great, gives me more decisions on here, as opposed to 2 fc facs that support each other. GREAT RELEASE!!! :D

Thank you love everything.. Merry Christmas....

Just noticed a quantity problem with the German Restaurant. It requires 1,200 Cured Herring as an ingredient but the Smokehouse only produces a total of 120 over 15 days!!! Can you knock a nought of one or add to the other please :D Each Pickled Herring needs 10 Cured Herring.

Nice surprise...nice update. I was so involved in the co-op quests I didn't notice right away. Thank You

Not Getting Coins for Selling with Excavator
 

I don't know if this is a new problem with this release or if it's been doing this and I haven't noticed. When I use the excavator to sell in bulk the coins disappear when the farm is refreshed. Example I had 733,219 coins before selling with excavator. I sold all pine trees on my farm and it showed that I had 836,899 coins but as soon as I refreshed my farm I was back to only 733,228 coins. My 32 x 32 farm was full of pine trees so I know 11 coins is not the selling cost of them. I talked with a friend and she tried and the same thing happened to her when she used her excavator. Thanks for always listening and fixing any problems we find.

Why must you do this right after I turn my computer off for the night? :D

He was waiting for you to turn it off...:D

What a surprise! I thought Monday would be the earliest for a release! Thank you Raul! I am a huge fan of the two part release, and I love it all as usual! Merry Christmas!

Have already done what you suggested and it didnt make any difference.
