'reloaded' is the operative word Docperk. If anything ever shows locked & you know it shouldn't then reload the farm by clicking on 'play' instead of just clicking on the farm to refresh it, it has to be a FT reload not a farm refresh.

Once you purchase the boxcar(s) you can put the facilities that was in storage back on your farm, they just needed to be in your storage to purchase the boxcars, the facilities that are in storage they will not show up in your facility manager and will not operate until they have been put back on a farm.
I will add so others don't get confused by what I have said above and try to correct me, even tho that isn't what the question asked. The facilities don't have to be in storage you can go to the farm that has the facilities and purchase the train boxcar(s) from that farm.

I have noticed that when you go into the train details and click on train status it doesn't show the number of days left on the trip, it show "carrying" "to load", and the percentage done, but not the days remaining on the trip.

Mine does, it says 'To Go: 29 markets in 2 days'.

BTW I do like the way it now shows which trains you have & which you don't when you click on 'show train details', the ones you don't have are ghosted, excellent idea.

I KNOW the facilities don't have to be in storage. That isn't what the question was, she already had the facilities in her storage and asked if the facilities was in storage and purchased the trains, do the facilities show up in the facility manager and work the same as being on the farm, and I said that they don't and after she purchased the train she can put the facilities back on her farm.

3. Belts and Dans for Facility Products: The next 10 Facilities (in order of appearance in the Store) now have Belts and Dans enabled for each product. With each Belt or Dan you achieve you will increase your chances of getting a "free" Batch automatically for every Batch you start from that point on.

Free Batches means that a new Batch is sent to production without consuming any ingredients or coins. See December 30th Release Post for the benefit % table.

4. Big Blooms Minigame: It's a flower watering minigame with Practice and Multiplayer support already enabled. As usual, you have 3 stages and you can go into Practice mode to play each of the stages and improve personal records or you have the option to play multiplayer with all your friends currently in the farm, in this case, the user who finish all the 3 stages first win.

The Goal of this minigame is to use the hose to water the blossoms so they can grow into flowers and be picked by the pickers.

5. Prodution Increases:

a) Freight Cars Benefits Increased, they now bring:

- 50% more Plastic Granules, Rubber Sheet and Flour
- 3 times (200% increase) more Flat and Mirror Glass Sheets, Corn Flour, Ground Coffee, Cardstock, Paper Roll and Pigments

b) Super animals now produce 50% more product in the same time frame, ex: when you harvest a Holstein Cow you get 15 milk instead of 10.

c) Animal Storage increased by 25%, the limit is now 125 animals per building.

d) Harvest Storage increased by 25%.

I was too until they came out with the one for canvas. Kinda of sad though that I had spend that much FC and that is all I need out it...

THANK YOU to the developers for the great release.
There were a few posts about buying the new train cars while the train is dispatched.

The answer given was “no you can’t you have to wait until the train is unloaded.
You can buy them. You just can’t ‘dispatch’ them. They will remain empty and go out with the train when you next dispatch it.

I think is great because one of the great things about Farm Town is everyone can play the way the want. You can choose to not spend the coins/FC until you are ready to send you train out or buy them now even if they stay empty for a few days.

The other terrific thing about FT is the forum and the game guide.
Thank you FT moderators – I always find help when I need it.
