New Release -- April 28, 2010

[Charo]

I would like to see some other use for the chocolate factory. I am somewhat disappointed that I bought it, since the chocolate liquor can be sent as a gift. There is almost no need for it now, and it was a waste of farm cash. I do think that the gifts are unbalancing the game. I get a lot of gifts, and I have almost no need to have cows, chickens, etc. on my farm, or to make sugar or flour.

The gift amounts need to be toned down to a token so that producing those is still important, especially the chocolate liquor. 50 is too much. If you are going to give away things produced by the facilities as ingredients for other stuff, you need to make the facilities useful otherwise so as to justify purchasing it with farm cash.

I'm going to wait and see with the new preserve factory. If you guys start giving the products away as ingredients to other stuff, then I will not waste my money to get the facility.

Considering that farmtown can't even handle the amount of cows I would like on a farm getting(without causing 2-3min load time) It's nice.

Can I ask - when we put rivers/ponds on the farms, are they supposed to be stocked with fish already or do I have to wait for that initial time to pass before they will have any fish?

Thanks

Love these new upgrades, especially the facilities! I'm making a million$ in less than a week. Now have over $25 mil and climbing fast!!! I have 3 farms but have run out of room for more facilities or goodies. Chocolate factory is a waste of $; can be gifted and little use for the chocolate. I keep running out of cheese..can it be gifted?
Also, can an option be provided that shows what facilities my neighbors have so i can gift appropriately? I've made a list, but it changes as they gain more $.
More ice creams, yogurts, cakes? just started wool..how bout a clothing facility?
Thanks, thanks for ur upgrade. FT is much more fun!! What next?

I don't have the chocolate factory (yet, may some day), but do agree, Charo, that it would be nice if it produced something other than liquor -- such as chocolate syrup, chocolate bars such as are used in baking and chocolate candy, maybe chocolate chips for our cookies too.

As for toning down gift amounts? That probably depends on the player. Some of us don't have as many fT neighbors as others and not all FT neighbors gift regularly as some here have commented.
