New Release -- August 30th, 2011
 

See Known Issues and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Sep 2, 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: About 60 items all in coins, top level is now 260.

2. 4 New animals: 2 new superanimals (FC), the Heavywool Llama and the Longwool Sheep which produce 10 times more wool. The Clydesdale horse produce horse hair and the Border Collie which don't produce anything.

3. Farm 11: Here are the prices in coins (FC prices remains the same):

12 x 12 Farm 9: 11000000
14 x 14 Upgrade: 8000000
16 x 16 Upgrade: 9000000
18 x 18 Upgrade: 10000000
20 x 20 Upgrade: 900000000
22 x 22 Upgrade: 1000000000
24 x 24 Upgrade: 1100000000

4. Loader (FC): This tool allows you to Start All productions for a product with one click on any facility handling heavy loads: Mineral Mine, Open-pit Mine, Oil Pump, Oil Refinery, Windmills, Watermill, Sugar Refinery, Malt House and Smokehouse.

5. Improved Brown Mobile Sprinkler: Brown Mobile Sprinkler can now be used to irrigate flowers in any farm, not just neighbour farms.

6. Red Mobile Sprinkler also irrigate crops, double growing speed (do not revive crops): If you already own a Brown Mobile Sprinkler you can buy this Red Mobile Sprinkler to irrigate flowers and crops at the same time. Irrigated plants will grow twice as fast and will have a (W) when you mouse over them.

Notice you will not see an immediate change in growth, what will happen is that all crops and flowers in the farm that are still growing will be fully grown twice as fast from that point on.

You can irrigate a plant more than once, but it's growth speed will only double the first time. As before, you can irrigate only once per day. It's OK if someone irrigated your farm that same day.

When you use this tool on other people farms it behaves as if you were using the Brown Sprinkler, growing speed doesn't change.

This tool is an extension of the Brown Mobile Sprinkler, meaning, unlike the Manure Spreaders, you are irrigating the plants, not the farm, so if you plant new ones and you want them to grow twice as fast, you will have to irrigate them after you plant them.

7. Better Information Message: When you mouseover crops, trees, etc the ready to harvest time is now expressed in days, hours or minutes, which is more friendly than the % numbers. Also, once a crop is ready, there is a third line which shows the time remaining for the crop to go to waste.

8. Belt Showroom Screen: There is a new belt icon in the extended toolbar that will give you access to your Belt Showroom where you will see any belts you have achieved including products that you can't see on the store. We will be adding filtering and sorting capabilities to that screen soon.

You can also see the belts achieved by other players when visiting their farms.

9. Home Depot Store can now be stocked with gardening tools.

Hook Set

Chair

Known Issues - Sep 2, 1:35PM EST:

None

Post Release Changes - Aug 30, 11:15PM EST:

-Brown Sprinkler can now be used to water any farm, not just neighbours farms
-Animal buildings now have days/hours/mins instead of % as the Ready to Harvest time
-Some non-harvestable trees (like Palm trees) started showing 'Ready to Harvest' incorrectly, this is now fixed
-Mouseover info messages on trees has been enhanced, now it says Ready to Harvest, Ready to Chop or Ready to Bark depending on the type of tree
-When you are in your farm and crops/flowers says ready to harvest, when you hire others they should see them ready to harvest as well
-When neighbor irrigate your farm, you can now use the red sprinkler right after that to double plants growth speed
-If you owned the Red Mobile Sprinkler sometimes the Brown Mobile Sprinkler was showing up instead of the Red Mobile Sprinkler
-When using the Red Mobile Sprinkler, sometimes you had to refresh to see the growth speed increased, or after a refresh the increase in growth speed was lost. Some of these issues are now corrected.

Post Release Changes - Aug 31, 5:25PM EST:

-When farm owner see crops ready to harvest (irrigated or not), they should be able to hire fine now, without getting the ""nothing is ready to harvest" message.

Post Release Changes - Sep 2, 1:35PM EST:

-Both Stables now have bigger alternative views
-The state (growth) of the crop and the mouseover information message now match (no false gone to waste stages)
-The time remaining for the next irrigation is now shown when you mouseover the sprinkler in the extended tool box icon and also when you click the sprinkler in the farm
-To avoid confusion about when your plants were irrigated or not, the Sprinkler now only show the water animation when you are allowed to irrigate the plants
-The red sprinkler in addition to doubling the growth speed, will also extend the gone to waste time, so even if you double the growth speed unintentionally by reviving your flowers, you will have the same time as before to harvest your crops, this will effectively remove the need to have the brown water sprinkler in the toolbox or storage.
-Time to irrigate is now 20hours instead of 24hours.

Post Release Changes - Sep 2, 9:00PM EST:

-When you irrigate your flowers, flowers that are still growing don't appear fully grown immediately
-You can't water a farm with the brown sprinkler that have no flowers

THANK YOU! Thank you for all of Your Hard Work to give us such a GREAT GAME!

AHHHH AT last........

Thankyou so much Raul the wait was worth it. Just got here in Australia and looks like the first to post. Keep up the great work this game is the only one my huby and I play. Thankyou so much

Came straight here...havent even looked but saw everyone posting on my wall...just wanted to say thanks...you all are super...hugs

wooohooo thank you!!

I was about ready to go to bed when the popup showed my new level & extra FC$ ... thanks. I'll be awake for awhile now ... love it!!!

Omg omg omg
 

I was doing some FB postings and saw my friend bought farm 11..... I got so excited I had to come check. Wheeeeeee!!!!! THANKS EVERYONE!!!

I'm off to buy, buy, buy

love it all thanks so much

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! You are soooooooooooooo great!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!

Great.... Thought there was going to be a use for sturgeon.... What do I do with all that caviar? LOL

OMG!!! So excited to get the 11th farm! I upgradedto as high as I could (18) and the bought the tractor trailor with all my new found FC and it's not there!!!! oh booo hoooo hooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Is this fixable?????????? aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!! Have been anxiously awaiting new levels and extra goodies!! Thanks so much.......must say though I was disappointed not to see the Start All on the Saw Mill facility. Having so many trees means that I have to have a saw mill on every farm and I still can't keep up .... would be soooo nice to have the maximum amount sent to production increased big time....LOL Would be willing to purchase with FC to have Start All on saw mill.....PLEASE consider. Thanks again!! Way to go Farm Town ;o)

You've done it again. Definitely looking good. Many thanks. Me and the wifey are farmaholics, for sure. lol

Can't wait xxx!

Upgrade cost for 24 by 24 on farm 11: one point one *pinky to lip* billion dollars.
Can you say "coin sink"?
Seriously, I-- *reads rest of post*
*faint*

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ....I love the Red Mobile Sprinkler !

Wow!!! Thank you guys!!

Awesome, as always! Thank you!

:):):):) Thanks Raul, well worth the wait (almost lol ) :):):):):)

Well, we were awaiting this new update .. as stated by 1 September.

I have been without power since Saturday morning thanks to Irene. We just got our power back tonight - just in time for some new goodies! Thank you!!!!

The wait was worth the 3+ billion I just spent. Thanks for all of the devs hard work

there's a mighty long queue in the realtor's office!

awesome update!! thank you!!

And ppl seem to jump in and disappear very fast. I wonder where they goto. :)

thanks for the update. I have the mobile sprinkler and I just tried to water one of my buddies farms and it states I can only water mine or my neighbours.. do I have to purchase another brown one? If so that is not night for us that already purchased it for 45FT$ when it first came out. It is probably a glitch.. Thanks again for all your hard work. Farm 11 is equivalent to how many sections of land if you actually had to purchase a farm in real life. I can assure you it would not cost close to 3.5billion. Oh, do you have a website with all our farms on it.. it sure would be nice to have this. all for now.

Wow, wonderful changes including the "time to harvest". You guys did good. Just one request, make sure there is enough storage so our crops won't be lost. You have one happy farmer. Thanks.

FarmTown ROCKS
 

Well, I don't see the Clydesdale Horse,,,,

BUT WHO CARES!!! I LOVE FARM TOWN. YOU ALL ROCK! The only game that I've found that cares about US!!!

ok breathing now. I found my tractor trailor. Geez i thought I was going to lose my mind. Thank you Raul! For the update I mean! It's great!

Its a gift so get all ur friends to send them to you :)

Ok you've done it again. Kudos to the Developers!!
Love the new sprinkler!! WTG!!
You have made me more of an addict!!
My wife wonders if i will ever come to bed. LOL

Thanks Raul and gang for a fantastic release and its awesome to see you listening to what people want. I absolutely love the red sprinkler and what it does.. great work indeed. And wow.. the supersized animals.. that is going to be an amazing help! Overall, fantastic, worth the wait and sorry we continually harrassed you hahaha. Thanks again :) :) :)

We could only water our farms and our neighbor farms with the Brown Sprinkler. So you don't need to buy a brown one.;) I think it is a privilege for our Neighbors, and not just our buddies or people we are working for to be able to water their flowers. Although, it would be nice. I was hired to harvest a whole farm of flowers... but they were dead, and the player didn't follow me to their farm, so I couldn't do the job. It would be nice if we had that option, so that if we find ourselves in this situation, we can water for us to harvest, but the play doesn't get the benefit of the flowers being watered after we harvest.

thankyou , great update. love the sprinkler off to buy and play :)

It might be a temporary glitch. According to the new release by Raul it says we can use it on ANY farm. I am sure that will be fixed soon. Keep Trying.
