1. Halloween Items (2 weeks ago) and 4 new Fences (Straw, Bamboo, Golden and Grapevine).
Cool – can never have enough new decorations. Thanks.
2. 32 x 32 Farm Expansions for farms 1 - 5: Here are the prices -> 4,000,000,000 Coins or 30 FarmCash.
These will be fine for the lighter farms. Thanks.
3. Extra Box/Product when Hiring Strangers from the Marketplace: To increase work availability in the marketplace we have decided to reward those who hire strangers (not a Buddy or neighbour) in the Marketplace. That is to say, if you go to the Marketplace to hire others you will receive an extra product (regular non-large box, fruits, flower, log or fish) in your storage for each product harvested. This will help employers having more products to load their facilities.
The extra crops are a HUGE bonus! Triple thanks. Have to wonder though, how it's going to effect the mad-house that already is, the market place. Of all the work getting others to harvest and plow is one of the less difficult positions to fill, it's still a mission though and can be totally frustrating getting reliable help, hence so many hire neighbors or do the work themselves. It would be really helpful if the hiring process could be stream-lined a lot more. It's also difficult to get people to do the other jobs too.
4. 8x8 tools: Harvester, Seeder, Plower, Harvest-Plow Combine and Harvest-Plant Combine are now available in 8x8 mode, this will allow you to perform farming operations over 64 fields at a time, almost twice as with 6x6 tools.
Thanks. Really need these but what about a big bulldozer??? Really need one of these and chainsaws, flower harvesters and shakers etc. Might help getting workers from the market if they had bigger tools to use.
5. Dim Out Non Relevant Items for Tools: This is a new preference in the Preference Window. Whenever you select a tool, items that are not relevant to that tool will be dimmed out so that you can have easier access to the items that you're actually going to work on. For example when you select the harvest tool you will only see harvestable items. When you select the fishing rod you will only see water items with grown fish on them. This will work when you are farming on your farms or other people farms.
Excellent new feature. Nice surprise. Thanks!
6. Minigames Prizes (Coming Next Week): When you play any of the 7 minigames you will now have the chance to win coins and ingredients based on your performance. You will be able to earn up to a certain amount of coins and ingredient daily, that amount will increase as you move up your FarmTown level. Users on level 200 or higher will be able to make 1,000,000 coins in Practice mode and another 1,000,000 in multiplayer mode for each Minigame.
Zzzz, lol.
7. Random pop-up dialogs to Tend farms removed: People on higher levels (greater than 50) will not see any more random dialogs popping up about your neighbour farms needing tend, these dialogs are not very helpful anymore for advanced users and gets in the way.
Cool.
8. Hide Items Faster: When you Hide items individually using the 'Hide' menu option the confirmation popup that shows up will now appear only once per session.
Great.

Boo – still really need to increase the output of a lot of essential goods in factories. Also badly need a search bar in the facility manager so it's easier to restock essential goods.
