Post Release Updates - May 7th, 3:00AM EST

- Dirt Path now also preserves old behaivor allowing you to create waterfalls and other designs.
- Acacia Tree, Plantain Tree, Cedar and Bamboo Tree can now be rotated.

Post Release Updates - May 7th, 6:10PM EST

- Cedar and Bamboo show correct image when rotated.
- Passion Fruit new crop and Passion Herbal Tea Lemonade.
- Stone Path now also preserves old behaivor allowing you to create waterfalls and other designs.

Post Release Updates - May 15th, 5:30PM EST

- Passion Fruit herbal tea added to the Tea House

Known Issues

- Right now the dirt and stone path have some mixed (old/new) behaivor, they are still floor level items meaning they will not overlap (sink) other items in them, they will always appear under other items close to the floor, but they will still allow to do some of the tricks designers used to create waterfalls, etc. That's the simple solution and could be a good compromise.

But based on user feedback we may decide instead to add another "duplicate" of the dirt path and stone path, they will both look exactly the same in the store and in the farm but:

1. One set will behaive exactly the same as before, it will allow the same tricks and they will not be floor level items, so other items may sink in them

2.The other set will be floor level items, they will always be under other items close to the floor, will not sink other items, and also, they will allow to put other stuff on top of them.

The downside of this alternative is that it can be quite confusing, having both sets of items in the farm that looks the same and behaives differently. We will listen to feedback and to the moderators feedback and make a decision based on that.

Like it, but have one question. Why do the new facilities and service not rotate?
Also when are the trains going to rotate? Ok, that is 2 questions...
