Hi JNelson,
None of those functions are working yet. Those will be added along with the other functions over the next several weeks.

The new version is not worth the wait.. It is horrible i cannot do anything i have gone back to the flash version. What a disappointment.
can hardly see it. I was really looking forward to the new version, the game comes up in a small version. If this is how it is going to be then i am only playing it with flash until I cannot play it anymore and then i shall stop altogether.

Right now I have six months worth of crops to run my facilities. Now we won't have facilities to stock so what am I supposed to plant? Oh well, this too will pass.....

Yes, it will pass. Like a kidney stone, but it will pass. :-)

Mine was fairly normal sized. The writing is slightly smaller, but I am sure it is something that I could get used to in time.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the option to play in HTML this morning. :-) I liked it. Everything loads so quickly, and the graphics do look much better. I will still play in Flash for now, especially to load up on fuel since the facilities wont work in HTML for a biit. But, overall, I think it is going to be ok and I am pleasantly surprised.

Happy new year everyone!

This is HTML5 release 1. Everyone knew it would be limited as first. What is does prove is the new version isn't vaporware.

I'm liking the new version, too! Definitely faster. It's nice that we have the Flash version for a while longer. Right now, I'm going back and forth between the two. That way, I have access to all the old tools but I can get used to the new format, too. It's a nice way to transition and it gives the developers time to keep chipping away at adding in features.

I'm just thrilled they're doing it - keeping the game alive for us. I use Farmtown as I'm trying to shake my brain awake in the mornings. I've had a running joke for years now where I say, "Sorry! Can't do that now! Have to go milk my cows!"

I tried it, it is slow, very slow. Will this get better? I have to pause several seconds between each clic and sometimes it doesn't work even then. The lettering and icons are very small. How do I make them larger? Where can I get a reply to these answers?

Hi Suefarm,
Yes it should get better as they are still working on it. The more things you have layered on your farms though the slower it will be.
The lettering is small and the developers are looking at that to change it to make it more readable. There isn't anything you can do to change that.
