Hi There,
We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes.
1. Easter Items: A few weeks ago we released Easter Items, including 8 new items. The mods have also prepared an Easter farm contest which will award the winner with 100 FC.
2. Tripled production in some facilities: This week the production of flour in the Stone Windmill has been tripled; 2 weeks ago we tripled the production in the Oil Refinery, Bee Farm and Fish Farming Plant.
3. Farm 9: Here are the prices in coins (FC prices remains the same):
12 x 12 Farm 9: 9000000
14 x 14 Upgrade: 6000000
16 x 16 Upgrade: 7000000
18 x 18 Upgrade: 8000000
20 x 20 Upgrade: 400000000
22 x 22 Upgrade: 500000000
24 x 24 Upgrade: 600000000
4. Log Truck with Chainsaw 8 x 8 (FC): If you already own the Log Truck with Chainsaw 8 x 4, then you can buy this new Log Truck with Chainsaw to chop trees twice as fast, up to 64 at a time.
5. 25 New Levels: Almost 60 new items all in coins.
6. Harvester 5 x 5 (FC): If you already own the harvester 4 x 4, then you can buy this new Harvester to harvest up to 25 fields at a time.
7. Hire Multiple: You can now use the 'Hire Multiple' option to hire the same person to do different jobs without re-hiring. People that gets hired this way will have full access to their extended tool box to switch between allowed tools.
In the near future you will be able to hire people to work on multiple or all farms without re-hiring.
8. Neighbours restriction in Hire to Plow removed: Everyone can now hire others to plow without any neighbour count requirement.
9. Service Facilities: These are a new type of facilities that will not produce any tangible goods but instead will allow you to make coins by providing a service. It works similar to the current facilities, the difference is that you don't start any production on them, but rather load them with products so they can provide a service.
You can check the "What's in Stock" tab and see what is still in stock, what has been used and to Cash Out the coins you have made for whatever have been used so far. You will make about 50% more profit by loading the products into the service facilities and then Cashing Out later, compared to just selling the products in the market.
Here is the list of the service facilities we just launched:
Supermarket (Coins): Provide retail services, can be stocked with:
Frozen Vegetables, Frozen Pizza, Apple Juice, Orange Juice, Vanilla Icecream, Strawberry Chocolate Bar, Oats and Corn Flakes, Granola
Beauty Salon (FC): Provice beauty services, can be stocked with:
Aloe Vera Gel, Mascara, Nail Polish, Foundation, Blush, Lipstick, Eau de Toilette, Perfume
Movie Theater (Coins): Provice movie services, can be stocked with:
Potato Chips, Nachos, Honey Popcorn, Hotdog Supreme, Lemon Soda, Cola, Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza
Banquet Hall (FC): Provice events services, can be stocked with:
Multicolor Roses Bouque, Doily, Candles, Porcelain Dish, Fruit Cocktail, Cheese Cake, Red Wine 4 years, Champagne 6 years
10. Request ingredients from friends: If you are at a level 30 or higher you can participate in this new ingredient sharing program. Each product in a facility have a new + sing added to the top right. If you click it you will be able to ask your friends for the COMPLETE set of ingredients required to make that product and you will be able to start at least 1 day worth of production for that product.
Also, when you help a friend by sending ingredients, the major will compensate you with 50% of the same set of ingredients.
You can post up to 3 times every 3 hours.
You can receive up to 250,000 coins worth of ingredients every 3 hours.
This should help you with the issues about some very demanded ingredients like cheese.
11. Fixed Inbox/Message System: There was a bug in the messaging system that sometimes made impossible for you to read your messages, this is now fixed. The new red message counter is always up to date.
Enjoy!
Thanks

1.People without the Plowing Tools 1x2, 2x2 and 3x3 but with the Influential Neighbour Trophy were suddenly not able to use this tools anymore, this is now fixed.
2.The Text for the Red and Stone Windmills in the Store have been changed to reflect exactly what they produce and consume. They both produce at the same speed, 30 min.
3.Hiring Multiple option was not working for some users occasionally, this is now fixed.
4.There are additional texts on the Hire Multiple flow that clarifies that employee needs to use the Extended Tool Box to switch tools.
5.Request Ingredients fixes:
- The 250,000 coins worth of ingredients limit every 3 hour was broken, it is now fixed
- The limitation of posting only 3 times every 3 hours it's now correctly enforced
- More descriptive texts, the amount of batches is now included, apropiate destination is shown (Storage for sender, Gift Box for receiver)
- Ingredient distribution is now fixed, sender get's 50%
6.You'll make about 50% more profit by loading products into the service facilities compared to just selling the products in the market, but notice 50% of profits is not the same as 50% of the sell price. See the example below if you want to know more:
-The price of an Apple Box is 38 coins. If you Sell 5 Apple Boxes in the market you get 5 * 38 = 190 coins
-If instead you take those 5 Apple Boxes and start production of Apple Juice in the Juice Factory you will make 810 coins in profit, therefore you can sell all the Apple Juice for a total of 190 coins + 810 coins = 1000 coins
-If instead you load those Apple Juice Bottles into the Supermarket, you will be making an additional 405 coins in profit (50% of 810). So when you Cash Out in the Supermarket, you will be getting a total of 1000 coins + 405 coins = 1405 coins
7.Products that can be loaded into Service Facilities are currently removed from the Non-Ingredients' filter. We will soon be releasing more improvements for you to sell products faster in the market and also to dramatically increase the harvest storage space.
Pending:
Graphic Help System (when clicking the '?' symbol for the Stone Windmill item in the store) still reflects incorrect amounts.
