I see someone else has the same question I have too on the fishing bait. But I'll just sit back patiently and wait for the Devs to look it over. Thanks so much for such a great update - can't wait for the next one and Farm 12.

After playing this game since September 1,2009 I can finally get in the forum and post things! First of all thank you for keeping this game challenging and fun. There may be tiny glitches along the way but you are always on top of them! I so appreciate this. And secondly thanks to Tony who helped solve my problem.

Question - How does one put 'bait' into ones storage?

[rjohn726]

Another question - If one has 'bait' in ones storage can one 'sell' it in the open marketplace, and if so how many coins will one receive for say 1,000 units of bait?

Oh! I forgot!

Thanks for the Fish Belt system.

For me that will be a wonderful addition to the game.

Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes:

1. Halloween Items (coins): Most items were released a few days ago. Today we released a new Halloween Gate.

2. Workbenches (FC): This tool allows you to Start All productions for a product with one click on any facility that uses workbenches: Sewing Mill, Knitting and Knotting Factory, Shoe Factory, Jewelry Factory, Cookware Factory, Furniture Factory, Sawmill, Toy Factory and Musical Instruments Factory.

3. Join and get Joined by other online farmers: When you click a neighbour picture in the Neighbour Bar at the bottom of the game (or the double-green-man in the Buddy Window which replaced the green circle) you will see 2 new menu options:

a) Join 'User': Sends a message to 'User' asking for its permission, if user accepts, you will navigate to where that user is located.

b) Ask 'User' to Join You: Sends a message to 'User' asking if he/she wants to Join You. If user accepts he/she will navigate to where you are located.

These options work in every place, you or the other user can be anywhere, including farms, marketplace, realtor or inn.

Notice the online status (The double-green-man) in the Buddy Window is pretty accurate but the online status in the Neighbour Bar (green circle) is not, it's only updated when the game loads and on some specific occasions during the game. So if you are sure a user is online you can still send that user a Join Request even if he/she appears offline in the neighbour bar (without the green circle).

4. Item Storage Slots Increased by 50%: For each neighbour you have you now get 15 slots instead of 10 in your item storage.

5. Orange Mobile Sprinkler (FC): If you already own the Red Sprinkler you can buy this Orange Sprinkler to double the growing speed of your flowers, trees and crops at the same time. This tool will replace your Red Sprinkler.

6. Market and Facility Window Performance Improvements: The Market and Facility Windows should now open immediately even if you have lot of different types of products and facilities in them. Scrolling and Selling Products in the Market is also much faster now.

7. Facility Improvements: Tomato Sauce and Ketchup now require half the amount of tomatoes as before. The Mixer tool can now be used in the Pool Bar. The Packaging Machine can now be used in the Natural Remedy Shop.

8. Mobile Utility Carts (FC): This tool allows you to Start All productions for a product with one click on any facility that uses mobile utility carts: Sports Accessories Factory, Flower Shop, Office-School Supply Factory, Home Supply Factory, Farming Tools Factory, Gardening Tools Factory, Fishing Accesories Factory, Animal Accesories Factory and Medical Supplies Factory.

9. More value to facility tools by selecting what to start: If you own any of the 10 facility tools, you will now see checkboxes in the top left corner of each product. When you click the Start All button in the top right only selected products will be started. This works the same way in the Facility Manager. By default all products are selected which is the same behavior as before.

10. Gifting System Improvements: The gifting/invite system now use the new invite/friend selector windows provided by Facebook. Most of the time when sending gifts it will be a 2 step process instead of 3, first pick the gift then pick the friends and send the gift in the same window.

But The most important enhancement is that now there is a new 'My Requests' tab to the right of the 'Play' tab which includes a counter with the amount of Farmtown requests (gifts, neighbour requests, etc) you have pending in facebook. There you will be able to accept those requests, exchange gifts and send gifts back all within the same page.

This only works for new gifts and requests, you have to continue using the old method for the old gifts you already had in facebook.

Also, if you prefer, you can continue using the old method to accept the new requests, but the new flow is much faster.

11. Belts for Fish (coming early next week): Earn belts for each type of fish so you can increase your chances of getting more fish with each catch.

12. Minigames: We have moved the old trophy icon to the extended tool box and we placed in its place a white dice icon for you to play farmtown minigames. They will be all very simple farm-related minigames that you can play alone or in multiplayer mode with other users in your farm.

At some point you will be able to earn farmtown coins, ingredients and more while playing those minigames.

Early next week we will launch our first minigame, 'Rounds Up', which we find pretty entertaining.

13. New Okra Crop: Used in the 2 new restaurants

14. Vegetarian Restaurant (Coins): Produces Vegetarian Food. You can produce Tofu in the Food Preserve Factory.

Grilled Mushrooms
Mushroom-Lentils Burger
High Protein Salad
Steamed Vegetables
Tropical Fruit Salad
Ratatouille
Chocolate Mousse

15. BBQ Restaurant (FC): Produces BBQ Food. You can produce BBQ Sauce in the Smokehouse.

Corn on the Cob
Corn Dog
Fried Okra
Pulled Pork Sandwich
Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
Beef Brisket and Slaw
Back Ribs and Beans
Fried Catfish and Slaw

16. Fishing Tackle Shop (Coins): This is a Service Facility that can be stocked with the products below:

Comming Tomorrow

17. Mini Mall (FC): This is a Service Facility that can be stocked with the products below:

Comming Tomorrow

18. Bug Fixes:

- The Waste time for Crops and Flowers is now calculated correctly
- When moving frozen flowers they don't show up fully grown anymore
- X25 errors minimized considerably when moving animals to and from their buildings
- Sometimes when placing animals on farm too quickly some of them would end up in the same position in the farm one behind the other, in those cases, if Later on you move any of those animals to another place in the farm or to the storage, some of the animals were lost. This is now fixed.

Farm 12 and new levels coming on the next release.

(All manufacturing facilities are now covered by tools)

Thanks

--Raul
