Hi There,

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

1. 34 x 34 Farm Expansions for farms 6 - 10: 30 FarmCash OR

Farm 6 Expansion: 8000,000,000
Farm 7 Expansion: 7000,000,000
Farm 8 Expansion: 6000,000,000
Farm 9 Expansion: 5000,000,000
Farm 10 Expansion: 5000,000,000

2. 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.

3. Search for Items: There is a new Search icon in the extended tool box to search for items in your current farm, storage and gift box. Items in the current farm that matched the search criteria can be highlighted or items that didn't match the search criteria can be hidden.

Currently if items are found in storage or gift box only the count of items found is shown.

4. Turbo Tools for Regular Facilities: The new Turbo tools 'Turbo Tables and Chairs' and 'Turbo Mixer' allows you to Start Products in multiple Regular Restaurants and Mixing Facilities with one click. To use these tools use the 'Start All' button in the Facility Manager.

Click the Tool help icon in the Store (?) to check what facilities are operated with these new tools.

5. Hen Havoc Minigame: 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 collect the right eggs from the chicken to reach the goal.

6. Duplicate farmcash tools for coins: If you already own a FarmCash tool and have it in your storage, then when you open the Store again you will have the option to Duplicate (instead of buy) that tool or a lower rank tool for coins for decorative purposes.

For example, if you have a Harvester 8 x 8 in your storage you will be able to duplicate for coins the Harvester 4 x 4, Harvester 5 x 5, Harvester 6 x 6 and the Harvester 8 x 8.

7. Camera Improvements: You can now take photos of your farm in 3 different sizes: small, medium and large and you can also change the background to white or green. In case you need the highest possible picture resolution to print in a poster or t-shirt you should take a large picture and then download the photo to your computer from the Facebook Photo album.

8. When working neighbour facilites we now remove the highlight of the recently worked farm in the farm selector so you don't go back to it by mistake.

9. Bug Fix: When you buy a farm cash tool you can immediately buy another tool that depends on it without reloading the game.
