Read below the recent updates to FarmTown. This list includes the new levels, gifts, facilities and path we mentioned on Thursday. Things got a little tricky over here so we ended up launching the latest update about 30 hours late, we are sorry for those who waited long hours for it.

1. Axe tool to chop Pine, Oak, Bamboo and Cinnamon trees: Notice the Oak was previously a harvestable tree producing Accorns, this is not the case anymore. From now on, Oak trees are not harvestable, you can only chop them with the Axe to produce stuff later on in your facilities. Oak tree is now at level 44. Chopped logs are used by the Sawmill or the Cinnamon Factory.

The Mayor will re-plant all chopped trees overnight, to save you the burden of doing it yourself.

2. 10 New Levels: About 30+ new items, all in coins. This includes buildings, decorations and gifts.

3. Cobblestone Path: There are another 2 paths shown in the store, locked. They will probably be released early next week. There are many more paths and some new grounds to be released probably later next week.

4. Sawmill (coins): Allows you to produce Pine and Oak lumbers from Pine and Oak logs (timbers).

5. Cinnamon Factory (27FC): Allows you to produce Cinnamon Bundles from the Cinnamon Logs. Cinnamon Bundles are currently used in the Bakery to produce Cinnamon Buns and in the Coffee Shop to produce Cinnamon Latte.

6. Tea Factory (coins): Allows you to produce Black and Green Tea Bags from the Tea crop.

7. Coffee and Tea Shop (33FC): Allows you to produce different types of drinks from Coffee, Tea, Chocolate and Milk:

-Espresso
-Brewed Coffee
-Capuccino
-Cinnamon Late
-Hot Chocolate
-Mocha
-Iced Tea
-Green Tea

8. Start production of multiple batches at once on your facilities: There is a button '+ 10' right next to the 'Start production' button in all the facilities. That button will start the production of 10 (or sometimes, less) batches with one single click.

9. Product filters in storage and market windows: This will allow you to find faster the products you are looking for. Notice that the 'non-ingredients' filter will show you all the products that can not be used as ingredients in your facilities (except fuel).

10. Ground options on the Paths/Ground section in the Store: You can now select different ground types for your fam, this is a per-farm setting. More ground types comming soon.

11. New Tea Crop.

Enjoy!

Thanks

I've searched for info on the coffee grinder. Still seems like the math is wrong when I can sell the harvest for more than the produced grounds. Help please.

ummmm no, 1 harvest sells for 298 coins

the coffee is 1 harvest for a whole batch (8 units), which sells for 880 coins (8 units at 110 each)

so then they ask me for a screenshot!!!

I agree. They are NOT worth the headache. I never get the email either, I'm tired of sending in the complaint email as well. They easily owe me 20-30 points, if not more. Probably WAAAAAAAAY more, but I've given up hope. I'm tired of watching stupid videos (that Tom Hanks one was reallllllly dumb), downloading games, etc...only to not get points! argh, seems they'd rather have our cash. Well, not this person. Fixed income and all that, real life takes priority.

Go on the farmtown link titled Farm Cash Problems, make sure it is the official one, and report problems, they will add your cash that you have been shorted... works all the time...

No, we don't add FC, we don't do reimbursements through the forum. They are correct about going to Super Rewards if they did a survey/offer.
