Since we now have 'super cows' wouldn't that mean that said cows generate EXTRA CHEESE?? :P

I'm waiting with baited breath for 'a couple of days' to go by so that we can fish with bait That will be awesome.

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

1. Farm 8: Here are the prices in Coins, Farm Cash prices remain the same:

Farm12x12 - 8000000
Farm14x14 Upgrade - 5000000
Farm16x16 Upgrade - 6000000
Farm18x18 Upgrade - 7000000
Farm20x20 Upgrade - 300000000
Farm22x22 Upgrade - 400000000
Farm24x24 Upgrade - 500000000

2. 25 New Levels and 12 Gifts (Coins): About 70 new items in total, all in coins. The Farm Implements in the Gifts section have no functionality, they are just nice decorations that look well behind your machinery. All Winter items are now in the 'Winter' section in the Store. The Gift Certificates are now in the 'Other' section.

3. Superanimals (FC): There are now 2 superanimals in the Store, the Holstein Cow and the Leghorn Hen, they produce 10 times more than the regular Cow and Hen.

4. New Order in Facility Manager: When you hit the A/Z sorting button and select 'Production Chain', it will sort the facilities in such a way that will allow you to work continuously from top to bottom, as facilities with primary ingredients are on top, when you get to the complex facilities at the bottom you will have stored all the primary ingredients already required for these complex facilities.

5. Fishing with Bait (will launch probably in a couple of days): There will be 2 types of bait, freshwater bait and seawater bait. You can receive those baits as gifts from friends. If you have bait available when you catch a fish you will receive 2 fish instead of one. When you hire others to fish, your baits will be used and you will also get 2 fish instead of one, in this case, employees will get double the coins and will also get 2 fish instead of one when they receive their 'fish' bonus. After this feature is launched we will also consider giving XP when caching fish for owner and employees.

6. Smokehouse: Allows you to produce cured and smoked products. You can receive Salt from friends. You can receive Pork from friends or order it from the Semi-Trailer truck. You can catch herrings in the Small Sea Coast.

Prosciutto
Cured Cod
Cured Herring
Salami
Smoked Cheese
Bacon
Smoked Salmon
Pastrami

7. Fish and Chips: Allows you to produce Fish and Chips dishes. You can catch squids in the Big Sea Coast.

Calamari Rings
Cod and Chips
Shrimp and Chips
Haddock n Onion Rings
Smoked Salmon n Chips
Seared Scallops n Slaw
Catfish Cakes

8. Harvest Storage expanded again by 25%.

9. Extra step removed from invite/requests flow: When you send gifts or neighbour request to friends, there was an extra screen/dialog asking you to email friends, this screen is now removed from the flow.

10. Phantom Gifts issue fixed: For users having Phantom Gifts in their gift box, when you receive a new gift or use some of the gifts in your gift box, the Phantom Gifts in your gift box should disappear.

11. The Level Bar now shows the correct amount of XP left to the next level.

Enjoy!

Thanks

Thanks for the great update!

I love that the extra step was taken out of gift giving, makes it much easier.

I like the two new facilities, the design of the fish and chips shop fits in nicely in my beach community.

I've got farm 8 up and running along with dairy #8. I'd like to add my vote for a super dairy or cheese making facility. Or let us gift cheese. I know if I ask my neighbors for help making cheese I'd have plenty but I don't like to bother them all of the time.

Looking forward to the "bait" update!

Thanks again for farm #8 and the other great additions.

> 2. 25 New Levels

Can you please fix the level xp max bug? You cannot get the new 25 levels if your score is above 900000000 xp.

I did not.

Having more than 9 hundred million xp prevents one from getting the new levels. This is particularly annoying because it prevents one from buying the newest buildings that require these levels.

Slashkey, can you fix this please?

Raul: I was just in 1/18/2011 the bar on FT and some of the language being used in there that were very offensive and sexual tones. Do we have a right to go in and out of these rooms on FT without feeling abused with this kind of language? I tried to copy and paste and it wouldn't let me.. One user was Woody and another was something like #**Sexy** ??
