Default New Release -- December 7th, 2011

See Known Issues and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Dec 9, 7:00PM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. Holiday Items (All in Coins): Released last week. 24 new items compared to last year.

2. Improved Visibility Options: Last week we added a new option in the preference window 'Show Seasonal Items' to hide all Seasonal Items. Also, from now on, when you hide 'Decorations' all Winter items will be hidden as well.

3. 7 New Fences: 50s Fancy Fence, Concrete Stone Fence, Garden Wooden Fence, Stone Wrought Iron Fence, Lattice Fancy Fence, Gothic Fence and White Wooden Fence.

4. 26x26 Farm Expansions for first 4 farms: Here are the prices - 10,000,000,000 coins (10 billions) or 30 FarmCash.

5. Dans for Fish: When you earn all the 6 fish Belts you can now keep going to earn the next 6 Dans. This will keep increasing your chances of getting more fish with each future catch.

6. Crazy Fruits Minigame: Several weeks ago we enabled the multiplayer support for the Rounds Up minigame. Today we are launching our second minigame, Crazy Fruits, which already have multiplayer support 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.

7. Hint about which farms have workable facilities: When working on your friends facilities we now show each farm with workable facilities in the farm selector.

8. Trading Improvements: The trading limits have been increased, here are the rules:

1. Maximun 12 hour limit increased from 1000 to 1500 to all players

2. Based on your Best Diversification Rank you can keep increasing that limit based on these rules:

Best Diversification Rank between 2000 and 5000, trading limit increased by 500 units
Best Diversification Rank between 5000 and 10000, trading limit increased by 1000 units
Best Diversification Rank between 10000 and 30000, trading limit increased by 1500 units
Best Diversification Rank between 30000 and 60000, trading limit increased by 2000 units
Best Diversification Rank between 60000 and 100000, trading limit increased by 2500 units

3. Based on the amount of business clothes you own. There are now 3 business clothes available in your Avatar Editor 'Clothes' section. For each business cloth you own your limit is increased by 1000 units, meaning, if you own the 3 business clothes your limit will be increased by 3000 units.

9. Brow Sprinkler is Back: The Brown Sprinkler is now back in the extended tool box and will function exactly as before, it will water and revive your flowers but will not accelerate anything.

The Red or Orange Sprinkler will still remain in the extended tool bar (right next to the Brown one) functioning as before, the Red one will cut the growing time for flowers and crops in half, the Orange one will cut the growing time for flowers, crops and trees in half. Both of them will water your flowers as well.

Notice that when you buy the Orange one, it will still replace the Red one in the extended tool bar and from that point on the Red one will function as the Orange one.

10. Art Studio (Coins): Produces Art Pieces.

Wind Chime
Sun and Moon Craft
Old Man Sculpture

Leather Mask
Leather Longhorn Craftcut the growing time for flowers and crops
Red Flower Painting
Horse Painting

11. Casino Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Casino Supplies.

New hint for workable farms is not working for Service Facilities...only allows you to go to the first farm.
Other than that great release!!

Also the regular facility hint shows farms that have non-workable facilities like the animal sheds, mines, trucks, etc. Don't know if this is not how it is supposed to work or if it is working right.
Even if these are supposed to be hints it will not let you go to any of the other farms at all.

Thanks, really appreciate that you can now hide winter items. The hint on which farms has workable factories should be extremely helpful. By my calculation nearly 50 million per plot for upgrades on farms 1-4 is a bit excessive and will certainly present a goal for those begging for more space.

Oh oh, daily quests? Like that other farm game? Say it ain't so! I am wondering about new products for existing facilities, like fruitcake or eggnog for the holidays? Any news on that front? Thanks for another great update
