Oh, no. This is beginning to look like Farmville -- lots of new one purpose things and gimmicks. No real additions of basic farm and farming community facilities (or just buildings even if they don't have a coin earning function) such as
- a general store
- basic small town restaurant/coffee shop
- woolen mill or better yet a simple building for turning wool and cotton into thread and weaving cloth
- a lumber mill
- perhaps a hardware and farm implement shop (wouldn't have to be functional, but what farm community is without one)
- no additional type of products added to what the semi-truck delivers

Other than the flower shop, no other existing facilities made multi-functional.

The oil rigs are fine for those who have a farm theme representing certain areas where oil drilling is done and so a nearby refinery fits for those layouts. Otherwise, the present method of attaining fuel has worked just fine except for those players who do all their own harvesting and use the harvesters since plowing doesn't require fuel and so generally, with planning, there's enough fuel daily for planting and seeds can be planted one plot at a time, no need for fuel.

We already had two restaurants with very limited functionality -- only pizza made at the pizza shop and only a few sandwiches at the sandwich shop. Another specialty restaurant just adds another building for already crowded layout space.

Oh, well, I'm sure there are FT players who will thoroughly enjoy the updates and new facilities and I'm probably in the minority that I'm not one of those.

I was never much into the competition, Farmville, just played a bit because my active FT Neighbors were also active in FV and I wanted to reciprocate for the FT gifts by gifting them at FV. Yesterday, I decided that didn't really make sense (after all we are all adults), so deleted FV from my listing of FB applications. . . . Way it's going, I can foresee FT being the next deletion. . . . Except that I would miss this Forum and the fun discussions here

1. Small Sea Coast (coins): Allows you to catch Haddock, Dolfin, Swordfish, Mackerel, Eel and Crab

2. Big Sea Coast (32 FC): Allows you to catch Cod, Grouper, Swordfish, Mackerel, Eel, Yellowtail, Tuna, Crab and Lobster

3. Oil Pump Tool (coins): Allows you to produce Crude Oil

4. Oil Reinery (32 FC): Allows you to produce fuel out of the Crude Oil to be used in your harvesters and seeders. You can store the Fuel Tanks in your storage. When you go to the Fuel Station to refuel, it will take not only the fuel tanks you have received as gifts from friends, but also all stored Fuel Tanks in your storage produced by the Oil Refinery. Both counters are displayed on the same line, 'Fuel Tanks', in the Fuel Station.

5. Taco Restaurant (coins): Produces different Taco products like Hard and Soft Tacos, Chicken Quesadillas and Burritos. You can get the Chicken or Meat as gifts from friends or Order them from the Semi-Trailer Truck.

6. You can now harvest your flowers. You can also hire people in the market to harvest your flowers: Flower prices have been slightly adjusted to accomodate this change. It functions like the trees, when you harvest a flower you get the coins and it's restored to it's original stage.

7. The current Flower Shop is now a facility (25 FC): Allows you to produces different flower buckets from the harveted flowers.

8. The frequency of the Major asking for gifts on the game has been reduced considerably, you should not see it more than 1 or 2 times per day.

9. The Semi-Trailer truck now deliver 3 times more Hotdog Sausages in the same period of time.

10. There was an annoying error when people were harvesting for others. If the farm where they were working had some Hens moving, the message 'do you want to use this option for the remaining of this session...." was popping randomly, this have been fixed.

[Update: Taco Restaurant now rotates]

Enjoy!

Thanks
