New Release -- September 1st, 2010

[BobcatTchai]

My stash of tomatoes is already fueling mucho pasta sauce production in my preserves factory, not to mention the salad dishes at the restaurant, so yeah kinda had that one figured out

[patdale]

Only game I play...for good reason. Well thought out and maintained. Fun to chat with friends and neighbors. Looking forward to what is next. Thanks Raul!

I agree Jocelyn. I want the option because I have the rest of the facilities as the rustic farm appearance.

Hey There,

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

1. 13 New Flowers: 10 in the store and 3 in the gift page. All flowers were created by Debbie (a FarmTown player and community member) and donated to the FarmTown game, many thanks to her.

2. Log Truck with Chainsaw (FC): Allows you to chop up to 32 trees at a time, it works very similar to the treeshaker tool.

3. Default Farm Selection: When clicking on the farm title text, you will see a new checkbox in that window to select that current farm as your default farm. The default farm will be the farm where you and your friends will be landing on when visiting you.

4. Show Decorations: We added this new option to the Option Window (top right tool icon) to make it easier for you to hide all decorations at once, including fences.

5. 'Decorations' category restructured: The store 'Decorations' category have now been divided in 5:

Farming Decor - All decorations that you would naturally expect to see in a farm
Motion - All items with a purpose or transportation of humans or any other stuff. Previous giftable fathers day items like golf carts, ATV and hot rods have been added to this category
Furniture - All furnitures
Fun - All items with a fun purpuse. All fathers day sport items have been added to this category
Other - The rest of the old 'Decorations' category. Previous mothers day sculptures have been added to this category and to the Topiaries

6. Mineral Mine (coins): Allows you to produce silver, gold and diamonds.

7. Jewelry Factory (FC): Allows you to produce jewels:

Earring
Necklace
Photo Frame with embeded jewelry
Ring
Watch
Jewelry Box with embeded jewelry

8. Pasta Factory (coins): Allows you to produce uncooked pasta:

Spaghetti
Macaroni
Fettuccine
Linguine
Lasagne

9. Pasta Restaurant (FC): Allows you to produce salads and pasta dishes:

Caprese Salad
Caesar Chicken Salad
Garden Salad
Macaroni and Cheese
Spaghetti with Meatballs
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Seafood Linguine
Meat Lasagne

10. Tomato Sauce: Some Pasta Dishes requires Tomato Sauce which you can now make in the Food Preserver Factory.

11. Multitools and the 'Remove space between fields' setting: From now on, all multitools (except for the multiplower to be completed for the next release)will work as expected independent on the 'Remove space between fields' setting, before, setting/unsetting that option could make your multitools only do one field at a time for a while.

12. When hiring others, incorrect crop count on storage for fertilized crops: This bug should now be fixed, no need to refresh the game anymore to see the correct count.

13. Fences can now be selected and hidden without issues.

14. Harvest, Plow and Tool vertical toolbars now dissapear when you select a tool and start working.

15. Minor Changes: Horse Training Area now allows you to put some horses on it. Alternative views for facilities are now the default on the store, when you purchase them, you can always go back to the previous cartoonish look if you want to.

Farm 6 and new levels comming soon...

Enjoy!

*****Post launch fixes*****

- Big Bulldozer now deletes 3 types of fields, harvested fields, gone to waste and regular plow fields
- The Tools are not hidden when you hide all decorations
- There is a warning once per day, that alert you when you have decorations, buildings or other stuff hidden in the game, so you don't panic when you see all them gone without remembering why
- We discoreverd that the Horse Training Area item fix is not functioning as expected, this will take longer to fix, please ignore this functionality for the time being

Thanks

great for all those things but where are we supposed to come up with all this extra money that this stuff costs? any solutions?

[islandbabs]

new smaller versions of the dairy factory, confectionary, ice cream, sugar, oil refinery, fish farming plant, textile, sewing mill, chocolate factory, and coffee grinder would be much appreciated - they do not match with all my other buildings & take up tons of room comparitively. I love the new versions of the other buildings!!!! Great work..... can I get an extra couple of farms too soon? I have over 230 million coins I am dying to spend! LOL.

buy farmcash

[Farmer Jennifer Dawn]

can't wait for #6. I want to move all my buildings over to #6 and let that be a town.

i've already put certain factories into storage (ones that I have an abundance of products already in my storage)

[Cookie01]

I hope the farm 6 won't be long. I'm starting to run my facilities down, but would prefer to be using them.

230 million.... Well that should just about cover the cost of Farm #6 .... #5 was over 150mill if I remember right.

I have production going full blast with twice+ daily restocks..... works out to about 110million a week and I anticipate a couple of weeks income will be necessary for each farm #6.

This is real money, right?
