New Release -- August 17th, 2010

[dianedrayson]

I think the new update is fantastic.

I too don't like having to spend real money on this game but I justify it the following ways:
1. The developers work hard and have to be paid in some way, and I don't know how much they get from the ads.
2. I'm eating less than half the chocolate I used to eat pre-Farm Town, so I can always take the money from my food budget!
3. I'm reading fewer books so I guess I could take the money from my book budget too.
4. It's all to do with priorities in entertainment. Numbers 2 and 3 are the way I entertain myself. You take money out of however you entertain yourself.

[Ginasue1]

Getting Farm Town cash, and playing Farm Town are my entertainment, but still can't give up my books, I mean need something to read while sitting on the throne.

[ChrissieD]

Thanks Raul... Farm Town just keeps on getting better! x

[dottyF]

I need farm 6 so I can build a beach and get some of the new beach decorations for it

[HelenJS22]

Dear Raul, can we please have the highlight taken off the fertilized farms sooner rather than later. It is really difficult and harsh on the eyes, and it does spoil the look of the farms too. I'm sure the (F) is sufficient. Thank you :)

[Mrs Borgies]

LOVE the new features! I'm hoping the FC I bought 3 days ago will be added to my account soon, so I can give the new stuff a go. Can't wait! The alternate views are awesome, 100 times better! I am eagerly awaiting new views for the other cartoonish facilities too. But do take your time, as I am sure there is a lot of artwork involved in making the new images. Anyway, big thumbs up!!!

You should receive your FarmCash straight away. Has the money been removed from your account? Also did you get an email about your transaction AFTER you had made your purchase. I do hope everything works out for you. :)

[DARLENEW]

All of the updates are fantastic!!! Love the manure spreader.....makes a big difference in how many crops you get....helps with flour and sugar a lot!! Just need more space....how about another farm or two.....lol!! THANKS DEVS!!!! LOVE YOU!!!:)

[SusieBabe]

TY soooooooooo much. So this manure spreader will work like the harvest and planting and chopping tools and continue on each farm? Or do we have to send to storage to use on other farms?
Love it

[Sayso]

Absolutely AWESOME!!!!

I made the suggestion except mine was with the stables and horses.

I love playing FarmTown!

Thanks!!!

[Regina_Phelangie]

Just a quick question - If I get hired onto a farm that has been fertilized will I see that highlight? Just wondering how I will know? Thanks!

*edit* Thanks, I see it now

[jd285]

these upgrades apparently disabled the ability to do a rehire and get rid of the red ball and chain when plowing! Please please please give us the option to do without that red box--it's inaccurate, time consuming, and obnoxious! Thanks for a great game, otherwise!

i agree beautysmom, don't like that red/green box!

[Carolina Cate]

Now that we are able to transport plowing and harvesting modes from farm to farm, we can no longer lose the scythe and the square on rehires. Plowing with that obnoxious square is annoying. Can the former mode of play be restored?

[TraceyMush]

Now that we are able to transport plowing and harvesting modes from farm to farm, we can no longer lose the scythe and the square on rehires. Plowing with that obnoxious square is annoying. Can the former mode of play be restored?

YES PLEASE! Get rid of the awful red/green box! lt just gets in the way!!

[Rob T]

Now that we are able to transport plowing and harvesting modes from farm to farm, we can no longer lose the scythe and the square on rehires. Plowing with that obnoxious square is annoying. Can the former mode of play be restored?

The double hire was actually a glitch in the game, but the recent update affected that, which made it no longer possible to do... i would suggest posting into the suggestions area so the developers see it :) and maybe get the glitch restored or improved?

[tomater]

My farms stink now. :rolleyes: Thank Raul! :D

[riley2580]

love the new views

but we need a sixth farm please.

[StoneFace]

I want farm 7, 8, and 9. :D

never mind tonight I want them now. :mad:

That should take care of it. :cool:

boy, this game is not the only thing that is spreading manure.....:p

[Soozy]

I tried it and it didn't work. MOVE just highlights it in red to move it on the same farm. When I clicked on the diamond for another farm it didn't move with me. I went back to the first farm and it was still in the same spot. What browser are you using?

I can move the Manure Spreader from 1 to 2 and then to 3, but no matter what I try it won't go to 4 or 5 unless I use Storage.
Any ideas?

[SirDaywalker]

This >>>>>>>>>>>>> :D <<<<<<<<<<<<<< is Me

I gotta say ~ if Farm Town does not receive some kind of Application
Academy Award for the single most Entertaining game on the Facebook,
then I'd be making one of those silly Groups:
"Give Farm Town Creators and Developers Their Due
and Hand Over the Application Academy Award!"

;)

With that said, I'd like to thank Raul & Co. for the Big Bulldozer!
I can bulldoze my plots without deleting crops and/or other items!

I like to change up the fields n stuff, so that really helped!

:)

I really can't say enough about how attentive you all are to all us Farmers.
Thanks for sorting through all these threads and listening to the players!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Another Note:

So do we think maybe going forward there might be an
option to 'Hide' all the other items that are not included
in the Buildings. Trees and Flowers groups?
((clicking individually can be a chore...since I'm a Farm Town Hoarder))

Perhaps a 'Hide All Miscellaneous items' on the tool bar up top?
:confused:

In addition, when I have lots of hens or cows or pigs to receive from my
gift box...it would be fabulous if I could click a magic button and drop them
all out of my Gifts box at once. It always seems to manage to vapor lock
mah Farm/s and either I get a 'Connection to Server' time out, or it just
gets all hella wonky and I end up reloading...aaaaaagain.
:o

Oh, and one more thing ~ I noticed the selling of my
goodies in the Market seems to be going faster
than it was...if this was intentional,
then Thank You!

:D:D:D

[lauraand678]

I bought 4 bulldozers for 4 different farms, and none of them seem to work. I click on it to delete fields and nothing.....is this just a glitch or did I waste a huge amount of coins?

[lovnsnowmen]

I really like the sort option. Thanks so much! Having a shortage of Farm Cash, I can now easily sort so the coin items are together making shopping easier.

[Mrs Borgies]

I bought 4 bulldozers for 4 different farms, and none of them seem to work. I click on it to delete fields and nothing.....is this just a glitch or did I waste a huge amount of coins?

Will not delete ploughed or crops that are still growing. Are you trying to do this?

[Tiger]

oh oh oh what a lovely day :) thank you very much Raul, love it all the new levels, gadgets, new facility views, and the big bulldozer is a huge help as i'm always changing my farms :) one very happy farm town addict here :) big hugs you star x

[kschilpe]

Sorry this did not do it for me and I love this game, no new land, no Mountains or crops or Facilities, oh well I will just keep waiting

[RosesToAshes]

Love the new stuff!!! just a quick question to everyone in your opinion which facility produces the most coins? Furniture factory or the Brewery? I only have enough FC for one... and I want the one which makes more coins lol Thanks ^.^

[Tony D]

[luvscats]

Hey There,

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

1. 15 new levels: About 50 new items in the Decoration and Buildings categories, all in coins.

2. Keep selected tool when changing farms: For most tools now, when you are using them and you change farms, the same tool will remain active, this will often save you having to move the tools between farms.

3. Sorting in store: There is a new sorting icon on the store window (Top Right) that will allow you to sort the items by Level, Name, Cost and Harvest Time.

4. New facility views: The Juice Factory, Sandwich Restaurant and Oil Factory now have non-cartonish views as well. As usual, you can use the 'Switch View' menu item on them to try the alternative view.

5. Flower Harvester Tool (FC): Allows you to harvest up to 32 flowers at a time, it works very similar to the treeshaker tool.

6. Big Bulldozer Tool (Coins): Allows you to delete 4 harvested or gone to waste fields at a time.

7. Manure Spreader (FC): Allows you to fertilize your farms. All fertilized crops (not trees) will produce 2 boxes instead of 1 when harvested. The main idea is that you use the manure from your pigs as an organic fertilizer for your farms to produce more crops.

-Manure Collection Process:
You need to have a Pigsty (now on the facility section on the Store) to collect the manure from your pigs. The collection process works the same as if you were harvesting animals, the difference is that in this case, the manure from the pigs is stored in your Manure Spreader tool. Each Pig produce 1 Manure Unit every 12 hours.

-Fertilization Process:
You need 50 manure units to fertilize a farm. To fertilize a farm, click on the Manure Spreader tool and select 'Fertilize Farm'. Once a farm is fertilized it will remain fertilized for the next 3 days.

All crops still growing (not ready to harvest) will be fertilized. All new crops planted while the farm is still fertilized will be fertilized also.

Once a crop is fertilized, it will produce 2 boxes instead of 1 when harvested, whether the farm is fertilized or not at the time of harvesting. If you hire others to harvest, you will get 2 Large boxes instead of one. Employees will get twice the amount of coins, and 2 boxes as well every time they receive an additional bonus box when harvesting.

-Additional Notes:
When you buy the Manure Spreader tool, it will come with 250 manure units inside for you to start fertilizing right away!

You can move the Manure Spreader to other farms and it will not lose the manure inside

To check how much time of fertilization is left on a farm or how much manure you have stored just hover the mouse over the Manure Spreader. Notice that each farm is fertilized separately so the fertilization intervals will most likely be different for each farm, however, your manure storage is the actual Manure Spreader, so you can collect manure on all farms but it all gets stored on the same Manure Spreader.

All fertilized crops will have a highlight around them, if you don't like that effect or how that looks, we will add an option soon on the Options window, so you can disable it

Enjoy!

Thanks

15 New levels --- Great...am at the top already...still work with no chance to make FC

[HelenJS22]

Hey Raul, this has got to be a real turn up for the books - People are begging you to unfix the glitch that you fixed !!! :D I have to agree with them though, we all loved the plowing 'glitch'. Please unfix it !! :)

[RosesToAshes]

Hi, keep in mind that you really need to have the F/C semi to get full value out of the Brewery.

I have the semi and the honey factory... so which one is better? furniture factory or brewery?

[Double T Dude Ranch]

I have the semi and the honey factory... so which one is better? furniture factory or brewery?

Since you have honey and the semi, I say brewery....

I mean look at the money you make:

Farm Town beer: Requires 2 barley, 1 dried hop, and 1 yeast harvest in storage. Ready in 6 hours. Lot sells for 8500 coins (170 coins per unit).
Farm Town strong beer Requires 2 barley, 1 dried hop, 1 yeast and 1 corn flour harvest in storage. Ready in 6 hours. Lot sells for 10,500 coins (210 coins per unit).
Farm Town peach beer: Requires 2 barley, 1 dried hop, 1 yeast, and 1 peach harvest in storage. Ready in 6 hours. Lot sells for 9000 coins (180 coins per unit).
Farm Town Honey beer: Requires 2 barley, 1 dried hop, 1 yeast, and 1 honey jar harvest in storage. Ready in 6 hours. Lot sells for 11000 coins (220 coins per unit).
Farm Town sake: Requires 3 rice and 1 yeast harvest in storage. Ready in 6 hours. Lot sells for 6000 coins (120 coins per unit).

I have the semi and the honey factory... so which one is better? furniture factory or brewery?Hi, i have to agree with Double T ... Besides have you ever tried to drink a TV Cabinet ? :)

[LoreneC]

I vote brewery. My friend has the furniture factory and gets a little tired of chopping her trees twice a day.

[Lavenda]

another vote for the brewery :)

[FarmGirlDenise]

I keeping checking daily for more farms or bigger lots, does anyone have an idea when they are coming?

[Lavenda]

only the developers know if/when they might bring this in. The manure spreader effective doubles your fields though, similar end result for crops :)

[NekkidFish]

Okay, and I'm probably weird, but I liked the old sandwich restaurant. Looked like something we'd see in old Hollywood.

Love all the new houses ... and the manure fertilizer thing is to die for!!! :D

HUGz! Jules

[speedmonkey]

Ok now that I have read the entire thread I have a question. I have some plots on one of my farms that will not go away. i have deleted them numerous times and every time I return to that farm they are back. One shows up as wasted sugarcane (the last time I had sugarcane planted was 3 days ago). No matter what I do they just keep coming back. I have removed them and plowed them and removed them and removed them...no luck. I can plow new plots after I delete these ones but then they show back up partially on top of my new plots when I come back. Getting frustrated with them and don't know what to do. Can anyone advise me on how to proceed. I can even plant the new plots and when I come back there are the old ones back on top of my crops!

never mind a fellow farmer helped sort it out. Thanks Phanny!

[TsunamiVince]

I simply hate the CPU robbing worthless and pointless red/green stupid plow box. Who thought it was worth the effort to eliminate this "glitch?"

I hate, hate, hate, trying to plow and watching this stupid thing bob up and down, changing colors, robbing cpu cycles, for absolutely NO WORTH WHATSOEVER. ELIMINATE THE STUPID CPU ROBBING IDIOTIC PLOW FIELD JUMPING AROUND

Bring back double plow! I hate watching the stupid square jumping around, changing color, and wasting time.

Oh, and here's the daily

CHAINSAW REQUEST

[Farmer Rabbit]

Since this came out I can not get past 85% loaded on my new computer Am I not going to be able to play my game any more? I have windows 7 professional on the new computer::(
sometimes after an update, if things are not loading or working, you might try uninstalling then reinstalling your flash player. this will also ensure that you have the latest version of flash. make sure to reboot your computer after doing each step.

plus, there is an official post w/thread on what to do when you can't load the game. ck that thread in the forum. hope that gets you started in the right direction :)

[pepawbill]

I miss not being able to delete the red plowing square by rehiring plowers...can you reinstitute that option please...otherwise all the changes are great...

[Lavenda]

the suggestions forum would be the best spot for this post, it will get noticed more there :)

[BobcatTchai]

I've just completed my first major harvest of crops since purchasing the fertilizer tool. Everything worked well and my storage is now full of bumper (double) harvests - shortages of things like tomatoes, wheat, and corn are now a thing of the past.

I paid $10 real money to purchase the FC needed - the cost of one trip to the cinema or a couple of visits to Maccas - far as I'm concerned it's money well spent given the time I spend enjoying FarmTown :)

A 6th farm (or more) would still be nice, but congrats to the devs for such a great new enhancement to game play!

Here, here Bobcat.
I get hours of enjoyment here. All laid on for my enjoyment and entirely possible to play without spending a cent.

I too have lashed out and spent almost the price of a couple of bottles of budget red and that has let me buy a few facilities. I have no problem with making what feels like a very meagre donation toward the continued development of the game, and find it disappointing that so many have become so angry that they cannot get more and more for free, and then grump about so much in the game anyway.

[SivNorway]

Hi there SivNorway! :)

Fertilizer makes crops crow stronger with a bigger/larger harvest.

You need the pigsty as well as the pigs to harvest manure so that you have fertilizer to use with a Manure Spreader.

You need the Manure Spreader from the store, which you will find under the "Tools" tab. Using this tool, you need to spread the manure over your crops by clicking on the spreader, then clicking on 'Fertilize Farm'. Your whole farm will then be fertilized. You can move the spreader from farm to farm to fertilize all of your farms.

This is the only way to get double coins and crops.

Once your crop is ready to harvest, you use your harvest tool as you always have done before this update to gather your crops.

I hope this is of some help to you.

;) thank you.
I dont understand all of it, but I will try - and see what happened.

If I understand right, I must have a pigsty and pigs, and the spreader will come under tools... I click on this and etc etc... over my farm... and It will grow faster and I get double coins and crops...

Must I do this just right after seeding, or is it enough to do it some other time before the crops are ready?

Thank you for try help a helpless norwegian :)

Greetings, Siv

[Phanny]

Hi Siv
The spreader does not come under Tools the same way as our sickle and tree shaker etc do. It behaves like our Big Seeders do and needs to be moved to each farm to be used, but only needs to have that happen once every 3 days per farm - just one click per farm too! Great stuff.

The tools tab referred to is the one in the store whether you go to buy the Spreader.


As I understand it, any crop that is already sewn at the time of fertilising and every crop sewn in that 3 day time span is fertilised as well.

So, if you have a farm full of coffee due to be harvested tomorrow, and you fertilise it tonight - it will harvest double.

I am not 100% sure yet though about the reverse, where a crop is due for harvest tomorrow but our fertiliser runs out tonight. I *think* that it remains at its fertilised value, but stand corrected if that is incorrect.

[Mrs Borgies]

;) thank you.

Greetings, Siv

Hello once more Siv :)

Yes the spreader is purchased in the tools section of the store. Unfortunately it does cost FarmCash although I think it is worth every cent I have spent on this tool.

This tool (Manure Spreader) can be used on all your farms but you will need to move it from farm to farm. The Manure Spreader comes with enough fertilizer for 5 farms so that you can use it straight after you have made a purchase. Harvesting the pigs with a pigsty will fill up the spreader with new fertilizer.

Fertilizer does not work on crops that are ready to harvest. You put it on crops that are growing.

The fertilizer will last for 3 days. You can replant the same areas (raspberries, purple grapes etc over and over) and the fertilizer will still stay active until the end of 3 days.

I hope that you are able to understand what I am trying to say. :)

[Farmer Rabbit]

Thanks all for the great additions to the buildings and decorations however, when can we expect another farm??? I've got so much in coins and would love to have a 6th farm so I can really farm. The facilities take so much room on the farms that I'm running out of fields to actually farm.

btw, you can plant under the facilities & buildings. turn them off then refresh. you should be able to plow under them then plant.

[tinlug]

If the new sandwhich and juice factory will not stay the same when i change them why bother? every time i switch to the new style and close my game they come back as the old ones when i return.

[justmecookin]

Raul Thank you Thank you...

For all that has wondered about the manure spreader...OMG I love it and is well worth the cost

[Mrs Borgies]

If the new sandwhich and juice factory will not stay the same when i change them why bother? every time i switch to the new style and close my game they come back as the old ones when i return.

Because it is worth it when you beat the cranky facilities! :D

I found it helpful that once you place the new view on the farm, rotate it and place back on your farm. Leave the farm then come back. The new view should still be there. Rotate the facility the way you want and reload the farm. Hopefully you have won the war with Flash wanting to remember the old view. It works for me! :)

[Phanny]

Tinlug.
I had that happen with the Oliove Factory, but took the advice given here somewhere, and clicked the save pending changes button before refreshing. It has been fine since then.

[Jan (Tiggs)]

Woohoo!!

Great additions - thank you so much

[sydbynitesangel]

Thanks to the developers for all the new buildings, tool, and decorations. I have a couple of questions though...my husband bought the pigsty yesterday and because he doesn't own the manure spreader yet he can't harvest the manure and sell it....won't his farm get smelly??? Also, I have 5 farms all fully upgraded but because of the facilities that I own and would love to buy I'd need a 6th farm. Is that coming soon? I have to hold off on purchasing the other facilities until we can get a 6th farm cause I don't want to just use a whole farm for facilities...I mean this game is for actually farming...planting crops, harvesting, plowing, and planting again. Does anyone have any idea when the 6th will become available? Thanks.

[Big K]

Thanks SO much for all the new goodies! I love the new views for the facilities and anxiously look forward to see the rest of the 'cartoon' views get the new option. I've already started up my pig sty (sold the last one when I couldn't do anything with the pigs!) and now just need to amass the FC to get the manure spreader. I really don't mind spending some real money - the developers certainly deserve to be paid for their time in keeping us addicts busy with all our farms. And on that note, a 6th farm (and a 7th, 8th & 9th :eek: ) will be most welcome! :D

[crispey_cake]

Keep selected tool when changing farms: For most tools now, when you are using them and you change farms, the same tool will remain active, this will often save you having to move the tools between farms...

do this mean that if i have a tree shaker on farm 3 and i want to harvest trees on farm 2 i dont need to move the tree shaker from farm to farm ? I have try it and it dont work :-(It say i need to have the shaker on my farm

no friend is wrong, what he means is that it is not necessary to send the store for any tool to use at another farm, you just click the tool, then you give and then you move to the farm that need it, that is everything.

[leesac]

I purchased the manure spreader, and it is fabulous!! However when I hire my crops harvested I do not get the double crop bonus. It works perfectly when I harvest myself, so I will just do that until this is fixed, but I know it was made to benefit the farm owner AND the hired worker, and for me at least it working like that.

[JKB]

Great options! The Best just keeps getting better.

[immater]

Hello:

Thanks for all the new stuff....:)

Any chance that we will be able to just buy manure and fertilize without having the spreader? Just a thought.....

Thanks again.

[Zuzu170]

Very cool updates! Still waiting for the "big chainsaw" to cut down my trees!

[SunnyD]

i know it is not well thought of but a lot of us do it ok..... does anyone know how the manure spreader works on layered farms???

[RhondaD]

Because it is worth it when you beat the cranky facilities! :D

I found it helpful that once you place the new view on the farm, rotate it and place back on your farm. Leave the farm then come back. The new view should still be there. Rotate the facility the way you want and reload the farm. Hopefully you have won the war with Flash wanting to remember the old view. It works for me! :)

Thank you SO much! This worked beautifully for me. The only thing I would add is that "leave the farm" actually means "leave farmtown". Just leaving that farm and going to another did not work for me. Leaving FarmTown and returning worked beautifully! :D

[matrix1272]

SunnyD, It works Great!!!

Thanks Devs for all you do, but we Really need a tool or something to chop down our tree's, and It would be nice to be able to hire others at the market place to chop down our trees. Thanks

[SunnyD]

i know it is not well thought of but a lot of us do it ok..... does anyone know how the manure spreader works on layered farms???

this maybe a dumb ?? but if the fertilizer only lasts 3 days what about 4 day crops??

[Ginasue1]

i know it is not well thought of but a lot of us do it ok..... does anyone know how the manure spreader works on layered farms???

So far SunnyD, it's working good. I had a layered farm. In fact you can visit it if you want. My farm 2. The layering was already done when the Manure Spreader came out and I went ahead and used it. Since then I've harvest twice on there, and each layer was Ferilized. I will have to redo for the last layer, because it's a 4 day crop.

[matrix1272]

I'm not completely sure on that, but I believe if you fertilize them they will be ok, just check them on the last day and if there not fertilzed, fertilze them again :-)

[SunnyD]

Wow Ginasue... that highlight is freaky looking..... thanks for the info your farms are pretty cool.......guess i will spend my potato chip money on this cool tool....... i would love to double the harvest on that wheat and tomato crop for sure... maybe i can go back to double layers instead of triple lol lol or even single sometimes lol lol.....

Love all of the changes but now I cannot get a double hire to get rid of the red box when plowing....anyone know how to get rid of the red box now????? It REALLY slows me down and I don't like it at all...
Otherwise, I love the changes!

[lavanah]

Could we have a compost truck for those of us who are kosher. And maybe we could put dead crop in like raspberries or something? I don't want the fertilizer truck and all the pig. I keep a farm that does not use any of the unclean products. Thank You for listening.

You can't get rid of it. It was a glitch before that you could and they removed the glitch.

[SeaJay]

Thanks for the changes. I'm just noticing the ability to separate out at the market by non-ingredients etc. It wasn't mentioned in the new updates which tells me it was already there and I've been missing it. Well, I've got it now and love and appreciate very much the speed and efficiency with which I can get through the selling process. Thanks Devs so much for continuing to make this the best game out there.
Hate the plow though!!! :(

[Ginasue1]

Sunny I agree on the highlight, but it's sure nice, and I've kind of gone back to only layering one farm now. Most of the time, it's one layer because of how much you do get.
Glad you stopped by, and any questions just ask.

[SeaJay]

this maybe a dumb ?? but if the fertilizer only lasts 3 days what about 4 day crops??

As long as it is planted within the three days it will also be fertilized. If you plant a 4 day crop on the third fertilized day..it will still be fertilized when you harvest!! :)

[RhondaD]

I love all the updates and you've even managed to squeeze real money out of my tight fist ;-). Only one request. PLEASE make the manure spreader fit in the same footprint as the big harvester and the seeder. That's how much room I (grudgingly) leave empty on my field farms and my manure spreader won't fit.

[Badlands Farmer]

I can't move the manure spreader to another farm. When I try to put it in storage to move it tells me that it can't be stored and to retry later. Well, it's now later and I still can't. I've left the farm and everything.

Any ideas?

[earlgray]

Aargh. My big seeder got stuck on my third farm. When I tried to put it into storage it said it couldn't, try later. I tried clearing the cache, resetting the browser, and using a different browser, all to no avail. Tried using it to plant a few squares on another farm, that didn't help either. I had four big fields to plant (each with a different crop) on my 5th farm, was not happy. Finally plowed four temporary squares on 3rd farm and planted them with grapes, hoping that would clear up whatever made it stuck. Fortunately it worked. Whew. Sure hope this doesn't happen again.

[Rob T]

You don't have to go via storage.... if you click the spreader, and select move from the menu, then click the farm you wish to use it on while still holding it, you will be able to use the speader on another farm. But it never actually leaves the original farm. Once you get to the other farm, you may have to select the green man, before selecting the spreader

[Grumpa]

boy, this game is not the only thing that is spreading manure.....:p

No spreading manure. ;)

Just wanted to see if I could be the first to ask for farm 7, 8, & 9. :D

Don't think I was. :eek:

[Grumpa]

Sorry this did not do it for me and I love this game, no new land, no Mountains or crops or Facilities, oh well I will just keep waiting

Being able to get twice the yield on crops in effect give you new land, since you only need 1/2 the fields for the same yield.

You can plant something on the second half, or use it for something else and get the same harvest amounts.

Of cause if you want twice the harvest and more, you are manure out of luck.

[Grumpa]

I simply hate the CPU robbing worthless and pointless red/green stupid plow box. Who thought it was worth the effort to eliminate this "glitch?"

I hate, hate, hate, trying to plow and watching this stupid thing bob up and down, changing colors, robbing cpu cycles, for absolutely NO WORTH WHATSOEVER. ELIMINATE THE STUPID CPU ROBBING IDIOTIC PLOW FIELD JUMPING AROUND

Bring back double plow! I hate watching the stupid square jumping around, changing color, and wasting time.

Oh, and here's the daily

CHAINSAW REQUEST

FORGET THE CHAIN SAW.


i WANT THE 5 LUMBER JILLS IN THE LEATHER SAFETY OUTFITS, :D

[Grumpa]

Keep selected tool when changing farms: For most tools now, when you are using them and you change farms, the same tool will remain active, this will often save you having to move the tools between farms...

do this mean that if i have a tree shaker on farm 3 and i want to harvest trees on farm 2 i dont need to move the tree shaker from farm to farm ? I have try it and it dont work :-(It say i need to have the shaker on my farm

i HAVE THE SHAKER ON FARM 1.

I go to harvest and click on the shaker. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LITTLE MAN. CLICK ON THE FARM DIAMOND FOR ANOTHER FARM AND THE SHAKER IS STILL ACTIVE.

I can harvest all 5 farms with the tree shaker by moving from farm to farm harvesting the trees. when done I click on the little man and that is it.

[DanielP]

... also appears to have eliminated the ability to remove the plow with an additional "hire." This was seriously disappointing to me. I really expected the wrench toggles to now include one for hand tools so if we, the players, wanted to be without the tool icons we could. Instead we can't get rid of them at all.

I am grateful there will soon be a way to dim the glowing lines of fertilized fields.

I could not agree more. Everything is great except that one thing. A setting to remove the hand tools would make the game a great deal more "playable" for a lot of us. The double hire was a "hack" (read glitch) and a setting on the settings menu would be much more appropriate.

A lot of people seem to want the "double hire" back, I agree with you Gram. Make it part of the settings.

[Grumpa]

this maybe a dumb ?? but if the fertilizer only lasts 3 days what about 4 day crops??

they are fertilized for 3 days and the 4 day they are no longer fertilized.

You will have to fertilize the farm for the 4 days crops on day 2, 3, or 4 before they are ready to harvest and still growing.

OOPS me misread the info on page 1

[Retrophyt]

The fun just keeps on happening. EVERYTHING is wonderful! I can't understand why anyone gets bored with this game. I never got bored with it before they started adding all the goodies. I had to stop for a while & work on my real life. lol. Why?

[Retrophyt]

I also agree. the pop-ups that stay after something has been selected: edit hand, plow, etc. take up a lot of space needed to farm.

[melizabeth5]

If we could have this one thing, I would be one happy farmer. I love Farm Town!!!

[GrannyParker]

Oh, I'm so happy to have my flower harvester, not to mention all my fields are fertilized, double harvest will be such a reward (maybe now I can wait some time for sixth farm :D).
If I only knew about it few hours ago, I had all flowers harvested by nice farmers.

What you do with this game is simply awsome!!! Love you guys and more :)))

I so agree with you but I still want a 6th farm! Just because! LOL!!!!!:D

[melizabeth5]

If you buy this spreader, you will have 250 units in the spreader, ready to fertilize for 5 farms. I am so smelly now. :D

I bought the spreader and it fertilized my first farm, but when I moved it to the next farm, it did not work. In fact, everything was frozen and had to refresh. I tried it on another farm...same thing. What am I doing wrong?

[Justliloleme]

they are fertilized for 3 days and the 4 day they are no longer fertilized.

You will have to fertilize the farm for the 4 days crops on day 2, 3, or 4 before they are ready to harvest and still growing.

That is very poorly thought out. But i guess it doesn't matter much to me, I'm not rich and cannot afford that manure thing I need to do it. I'm upset that it costs so much farm cash for the manure spreader ON TOP of the cost for the pig sty. I'm also upset that there were only 15 levels added, as ONCE AGAIN, I'm maxed out. So, no new tools to play with, no new levels to attain...why bother playing? GEEZ, COME ON!!! At least give us the 6th farm maybe.....

[melizabeth5]

I purchased FC using the Pay Pal option and I received it right away.

Paypal is the safest and fastest way to go. I receive my farm cash immediately.

[Suzanneisfarming]

So as long as the ground was fertilized at least once during the growing process it's good until harvest? For example: I fertilized when my 3 day crop had 1 day left to grow. I harvested and replanted a 3 day crop. The ground is still fertilized but the 3 days of fertilization will be up on day 2 of my crop. Do I need to fertilize again before it is done growing?

Once a crop is fertilized, it will produce 2 boxes instead of 1 when harvested, whether the farm is fertilized or not at the time of harvesting.

.......... if you harvest it yourself..... until that glitch is fixed, your employees won't give you the same yield'

[_A_S_H_L_E_E_]

.......... if you harvest it yourself..... until that glitch is fixed, your employees won't give you the same yield'

Really? I haven't had this problem - I always hire from the marketplace and I've been getting double the crops.

[LoreneC]

Really? I haven't had this problem - I always hire from the marketplace and I've been getting double the crops.

Me too. After I read this I checked real quick and I had a double harvest.

[earlgray]

I'm having a problem with the big bulldozer. Twice now I've used it to delete harvested fields. The fields do go away at first when I use it, but after I plow the area in rearranged fields and come back, I find that some of the old deleted fields have come back and are overlapping with the new fields, and have to be individually deleted. The big bulldozer is a great tool, but I hope you can get this glitch fixed soon.

[lighthouse02]

they are fertilized for 3 days and the 4 day they are no longer fertilized.

You will have to fertilize the farm for the 4 days crops on day 2, 3, or 4 before they are ready to harvest and still growing.

Actually, they do stay fertilized. You can plant a four day crop a hour before the fertilizer runs out and still get the double yield once you harvest it.

[Rob T]

Just to clarify some confusion, Once a crop has been fertilized, it will yield double the amount, regardless of the farm still being fertilized or not. There is no need to put more fertilizer on the crop till you're growing the next crop, so if you decide to plant another 4 day crop, don't fertilize till it's nearing the end of the 4 days, otherwise you're just wasting fertilizer

[daniel1972au]

excellent job now wheres farm 6,7,8,9 lol

[Lavenda]

thank you, my fields no longer look like a Christmas Tree/radioactive!

The preferences menu has been altered to allow the switching off of the fertilised glow :D

and there's no plow square :D

[ctu1010166]

Everybody know that Pea, Peanut and Soyabean (bean family) make soil better.
So that I wish dev add 3 type above to Manure Shredder (like Pig)
Thanks for reading!

[Rob T]

Thanks Raul, great updates :) good job

[Molly Mew]

Thanks for the added update, Raul. :) Heh.

[HelenJS22]

Thank you Raul, for the switch off highlighted fertilized fields option - VERY, VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. Thanks also for doing it so quickly :) Love this game.

[Mrs Borgies]

this maybe a dumb ?? but if the fertilizer only lasts 3 days what about 4 day crops??

Sunny that thought did cross my own mind. As time has passed, I realised that all the crops will end up not in sync with the fertiliser running out from so much planting and harvesting that it really doesn't matter in the end with 3 or 4 days. I will still need to top up the fertilizer for new crops when needed.

[Mrs Borgies]

Just to clarify some confusion, Once a crop has been fertilized, it will yield double the amount, regardless of the farm still being fertilized or not.

Thank you Rob for clarifying how the fertilizer works. :)

[Angel7]

Thank you, thank you for doing this SO quick. My fields don't look radioactive anymore.....

[dottyF]

I like the highlighted look.:)

[Mrs Borgies]

You little beauty!!!.....I just found that the highlight for the fertilised crops can be switched off....Thank You!!!! :D

[layla_aus2002]

thanx




:)

[SpiritChaser09]

love the idea of it, but 50 FC???:eek: too pricey for me! and as for those offers to earn FC, they don't work out very well for me. one says its "free" but you have to spend 70.00 for something or other. doesn't sound free to me!:rolleyes: and not everyone qualifies for the surveys. ugh. but do love all the other changes!:D

[_A_S_H_L_E_E_]

Yay! I'm so happy to switch off the fertilized glow! And so quickly too (I thought the earliest availability for that option would be late next week). Me and my computer (that was slowing down considerably in the game) thank you :D.

[MissChaz]

Spoiled rotten brats!!! :D We got it good don't we? Its awesome to have developers who aim to please over and beyond and so quickly. Thank you :)

[Mrs Borgies]

Thanks for the fixes today Raul. I look forward to no red square when we are plowing our own fields.

[Ginasue1]

I hope I have a red square when plowing my own fields.

[Duck Duck Goose]

big bulldozer doesnt work on myspace. its just a big decoration at this point.

[Tony D]

big bulldozer doesnt work on myspace. its just a big decoration at this point.Hi, the Big Bulldozer is for deleting fields that have been harvested or that have gone to waste.. is that what you have tried to use it for ?

[MissChaz]

I'm IN LOVE WITH THE NEW PLOW HIGHLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its SWEET!!! It makes it soooooo much faster and very enjoyable and NO LAG!!! Anyone who complains about it is nuts!!

[HelenJS22]

Yaaayyyyy - the plowing is changed and is SO MUCH BETTER !!!!!! A thousand thank yous :)

[Justliloleme]

excellent job now wheres farm 6,7,8,9 lol

Exactly. I've been waiting forever, now let's have em!! :) Really, I am bored, maxed out in the levels, need a new farm to decorate.

[luvscats]

All the new stuff is great!,,,,,But what happened to being able to hire twice for plowing and getting rid of the box???


YES, bring back the double click to plow...or make it the default. Does ANYBODY like that annoying RED BOX?

[Tony D]

YES, bring back the double click to plow...or make it the default. Does ANYBODY like that annoying RED BOX?Hi check out the Announcement again (new update) the red box is gone

[dottyF]

I think I did something stupid. I put pig houses on all 5 farms because I assumed you could only harvest 50 from each one.

I will be knee deep in pig poop.

[Lavenda]

I think I did something stupid. I put pig houses on all 5 farms because I assumed you could only harvest 50 from each one.

I will be knee deep in pig poop.

you can fit up to 100 in each animal facility, plus any others you have outside the sty/shed/coop on the same farm would be harvested by one, so no real need to for one on each farm... but on the bright side, you will have plenty if you miss harvesting them a few times!!!

[islandbabs]

Love the new updates - but please get rid of the limit on the animal sheds... I don't want a shed on each farm. I have a dairy that is holding 202 cows since before this update, and I get milk from all of them. The limit is silly - it's just a number - you could have it max out at 500 and there shoudl n't be any issues.
LOVE the fertalizer - bought one for me and a friend. I don't mind spending $$$ on such a great game.
Please let us have more farms next - I wanna play & decorate more :) hehehe
(ps - I know I am never satisfied - I always want more more more - but it's FT's fault for making such an addictive game!)

[bucknine]

I agree with islandbabs

[J. Wright]

Thanks for placing a highlight fertilized crops in the options. I just noticed it a couple seconds ago. as always thanks for reading what I have to say and have a great time playing farm town

[CaroleSB]

Okay....I always love the updates....lucky I've never had any major glitches.....spent way too much time on here. But, now? Now you've done it!!! You made me go back to work in the market. :(

I avoided hiring out cause I always got stuck plowing. And, silly me, just had to finish whatever I was hired for even if I didn't like it. Now....I've been plowing all night and loving it!!!

Don't know why you have to make this silly virtual farm so fun and addictive, but glad you do. Now....I have to go ice down my clicking finger....it's gonna be sore tomorrow. :o

[tmellin23]

I am just so happy with these changes, especially being able to sort the seeds. I just thought of this the other night, wishing for this option! I don't understand all of the changes but I am thrilled. I love farmtown!
Thanks!

Just read these 38+ pages and couldn't find an answer. Does fertilizing work with flowers? How about fish? I have one farm that's just flowers and fish............

[Pegleg168]

Due to health, I had to trim my game load down to one. It came down to two choices. FV or FT. FV was fighting tooth and nail, coming up with the same thing you guys were doing, just a day or so later. A decision had to be made. Guess who won? :eek: FT by 3 lengths. :D

[cindy0829]

Is it possible to add rain showers to buy with coins to speed up growing time? It would be nice to be able to speed up the growing time for items.

Thanks

[sking56]

I really like all the new stuff. I have been playing for over a year and 1/2 but can't buy any of the reall cool stuff because I do need to pay my bills and food for my family :( and now being on a fixed income it bite's... and why did the cost of the pigsty go up?? Last week I needed 40mil. to expaind my 6th farm and now it's 50mil so I spent my 20 dollars that you gave me,, thank you for the money :D but I cant buy anything else :( It's sad to think that when everyone was jumping ship and going to FV I stayed and got what??? not much,,, thanks I understand you are here just to make money :D

[sking56]

sorry that's my 5th farm not 6th

[melizabeth5]

If we could have this one thing, I would be one happy farmer. I love Farm Town!!!

You got the same thing every one else playing has gotten.

If you don't like it so much, don't play and then you will not be bothered by it all.

hahahah just saying.

[aremos]

Great new items and work by the Devs. Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the Gift Exchange. Mine doesn't seem to work anymore. Past few days when I have exchanged a gift, the original one that was sent appears in my Gift Box and not the gift I exchanged for it. Thanks!

[Farmerette GiGi]

Longing for the day when that extremely annoying :mad: red/green highlight area is gone when I'm plowing on my own farm! Never have understood why the plowing wasn't coded like the harvesting & planting to start with.

Also wonder why...when we hire others to harvest/plow...the default setting isn't for 4 plots instead of just one. With so many farms now ... which we ALL love :) ... it is entirely too time consuming to hire others to work for me.

Continuing to love FT! Thanks for a really fun game! :D

[Char1941]

I love Farm Town and really love all the new changes. Especially since I don't have to spend money to get them. Keep up the good work!!

hey bro go to the earn cash and coin tab at top of FT screen . i do it often and have most of the cash facilities. i too need to keep my money for bills , so try it out:D

[Tiger]

Yippee the option to turn off the highlights for fertilised fields is already here, thanks Raul :)

[Texas Belle]

First off let me say thanks for the updates, new levels etc. I wish the level were basically unlimited. Seems like the last few level increases My wife and I are already maxed out at the new level so we have to wait for new levels. I don't even work anyone else farm anymore just working my facilites and hireing my fields done keep me earning plenty of XP.

One thing that I hope is just a bug with this update and not intentional is the Red Square for plowing, you use to be able to get it to go away (which a lot of people prefer) by rehiring them again. Tonight I have noticed that no longer works. I tried rehiring my neighbor 5 times and it never went away. So I hope this can be fixed quickly and easily.

Thanks
Doc

I am with you Doc, love it that I did not have the red square, thought maybe it was just me but I see its everyone... hope they fix it real soon.

Thanks,
Celina

[Rob T]

I am with you Doc, love it that I did not have the red square, thought maybe it was just me but I see its everyone... hope they fix it real soon.

The red square was removed last night, its been replaced by a yellow hilight. double hiring is no longer needed

[Texas Belle]

Is it possible to add rain showers to buy with coins to speed up growing time? It would be nice to be able to speed up the growing time for items.

Thanks

Why not the dust cropper airplanes? FV has one that you can have your crops done in matter of seconds, it costs FV cash though. Would you like that? I would especially on the 4 day crops when you have to wait forever to get cotton and you need it NOW!!!

But its the game and we love it and we wait.... where do you want to go so fast? Advance in coins and x points and then buy, buy, buy, LOL

[Texas Belle]

Hi check out the Announcement again (new update) the red box is gone

It has not gone away yet.... at least not until yesterday, still have the annoying red box when you plow..... hate it.

[Rob T]

ok sorry I'm picturing the dump truck backing up to the lake, ok you got the picture but I'm still laughing. Unfortunatly it doesn't work on flowers cause I just harvested mine. I knew it wouldn't work trees but was hoping for the flowers but out of luck. Thanks to the devs for allowing us to remove the radioactive glow on fertilized crops!

[Momma Woods]

Raul,
You devs are the greatest. So far, everything has worked as promised on my farms. Love the fertilizing and the way it is set up. Thank you so very much. G'ma [There are new updates and fixes for this release, see below]

Hey There,

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

1. 15 new levels: About 50 new items in the Decoration and Buildings categories, all in coins.

2. Keep selected tool when changing farms: For most tools now, when you are using them and you change farms, the same tool will remain active, this will often save you having to move the tools between farms.

3. Sorting in store: There is a new sorting icon on the store window (Top Right) that will allow you to sort the items by Level, Name, Cost and Harvest Time.

4. New facility views: The Juice Factory, Sandwich Restaurant and Oil Factory now have non-cartonish views as well. As usual, you can use the 'Switch View' menu item on them to try the alternative view.

5. Flower Harvester Tool (FC): Allows you to harvest up to 32 flowers at a time, it works very similar to the treeshaker tool.

6. Big Bulldozer Tool (Coins): Allows you to delete 4 harvested or gone to waste fields at a time.

7. Manure Spreader (FC): Allows you to fertilize your farms. All fertilized crops (not trees) will produce 2 boxes instead of 1 when harvested. The main idea is that you use the manure from your pigs as an organic fertilizer for your farms to produce more crops.

-Manure Collection Process:
You need to have a Pigsty (now on the facility section on the Store) to collect the manure from your pigs. The collection process works the same as if you were harvesting animals, the difference is that in this case, the manure from the pigs is stored in your Manure Spreader tool. Each Pig produce 1 Manure Unit every 12 hours.

-Fertilization Process:
You need 50 manure units to fertilize a farm. To fertilize a farm, click on the Manure Spreader tool and select 'Fertilize Farm'. Once a farm is fertilized it will remain fertilized for the next 3 days.

All crops still growing (not ready to harvest) will be fertilized. All new crops planted while the farm is still fertilized will be fertilized also.

Once a crop is fertilized, it will produce 2 boxes instead of 1 when harvested, whether the farm is fertilized or not at the time of harvesting. If you hire others to harvest, you will get 2 Large boxes instead of one. Employees will get twice the amount of coins, and 2 boxes as well every time they receive an additional bonus box when harvesting.

-Additional Notes:
When you buy the Manure Spreader tool, it will come with 250 manure units inside for you to start fertilizing right away!

You can move the Manure Spreader to other farms and it will not lose the manure inside

To check how much time of fertilization is left on a farm or how much manure you have stored just hover the mouse over the Manure Spreader. Notice that each farm is fertilized separately so the fertilization intervals will most likely be different for each farm, however, your manure storage is the actual Manure Spreader, so you can collect manure on all farms but it all gets stored on the same Manure Spreader.

All fertilized crops will have a highlight around them, if you don't like that effect or how that looks, we will add an option soon on the Options window, so you can disable it

Updates and Fixes for this release:

- When a user is hired to plow, the red/green cursor is not shown anymore, a regular yellow squared highlight around the harvested/wasted field is shown instead. Soon we will do something similar for the users working on their own farms.

- The intensity of the highlight shown on the fertilized crops has been reduced a bit. If it's still too much for your eyes, you now have the option of remove it completely on the 'Options' window by clicking the tool icon on the top right, and un-checking the 'Highlight Fertilized Crops' option.

- The unlocked level numbers are now shown correctly on the store for items on levels > 100

- The 'Keep Active Tool' functionality now only works when you change between your own farms. So if you are working for others and go back to your farm, your tool goes back to the walking tool (Green Walking Man)

Still pending:

When you hire others and your crops are fertilized, sometime the flash interface is not updated appropiately with the right amout of boxes, your are not losing them, if you refresh they will be there, but the game is not getting updated accurately 100%, we are still researching this.

Enjoy!

Thanks

.......... if you harvest it yourself..... until that glitch is fixed, your employees won't give you the same yield'
Haven't had the problem of getting double the harvest for fertilized crops when I hire someone to do it. I get double the crop no matter who harvest. And you can go to the market and say you have fertilized crops and people want to work for you as they get more coins and double crop too!! Love the piggy poop spreader!! I do wish it would fertilize flowers though. I love and I'm addicted to FT, your the best!

[marielynn]

Awesome!!! Best new item in a long time, tytytytytytyty!!!

[goblues18]

How come it doesn't use the cow manure?

[KathyK]

I bought the manure spreader and am not seeing 2 Large boxes show up in my storage. Is it supposed to say that? I also can't tell that I'm getting double the amount harvested. My crops are all highlighted. ?????

Hi, the easiest way to tell is check how many you have in storage before harvesting and after harvesting a crop. I don't think the self harvested crops will show as "large" in your storage. Large is when someone harvests for you.

[Lavenda]

oops my dozer re-appeared sorry about that..... still though can't work that poop spreader.... lol

what are you doing to try to work it, and what is happening when you do that?

[KathyK]

I always have someone else harvest for me. I get the "large," but only 1, not 2. Is this correct?

[shirl the pearl]

The red square was removed last night, its been replaced by a yellow hilight. double hiring is no longer needed

I am happy about the red square being removed too. Thanks for that devs!
I am also grateful for the extra levels and farm cash, it enabled me to buy the furniture factory
This game gets better every time!
I LOVE being a millionaire!!! :D

[Tony D]

oops my dozer re-appeared sorry about that..... still though can't work that poop spreader.... lolHi Sunny, I use the um..er.. Spreader like this :Click on the spreader ,click move, click the farm diamond you want to use it on. You and the spreader will be taken to that farm... click the little green man (Walk) at the bottom of the screen, click on the spreader and select fertilize. Repeat these steps for every farm you want to fertilize.

Note: The spreader actually is always on the farm you originally placed it on (what goes with you to the other farm is a clone :eek:).

The spreader (clone) will usually be in roughly the same location on the farm as the real one.


Hope this helps :)

[lavanah]

Could we have it so the manuer truck can stay on one farm instead of having to take it to the farm that needs fertilizing? That would be great. I like the way the fields glow, very cool.

[dmccrack2000]

Just want to put in my two cents worth that the manure spreader should have been available as a coin purchase also, not just farm cash. It is an awful big advantage to those who have farm cash. It will really be a game a lot more for the haves than the have nots! A drag for me, and it seems FT is getting a little too avaricious.

This isn't a competition. You don't need to have more crops to play just as you don't need all the facilities or decorations or every single farm cash item. No need to worry about someone having more then you do. It doesn't make a difference in the game.

Everyone is given the same amount of farm cash for free. It's not the devs fault if people spend it and then see something they want. If you're at the highest level, you will (at one point) have had 115 farm cash - or more, since I think they start you off with a little bit extra. The manure spreader is 50.

And I agree with the previous poster - it's not a competition. It's for fun - some people choose not to have the manure spreader (my husband being one of them) even if they are very active players. To each their own as long as it's fun.

[Mrs Borgies]

Hi there, yes it does work :)

You don't need a cleared area for the fertiliser truck to land. I have had a few giggles how mine lands on top or even under other items with bits hanging out.

[SunnyD]

Hey Sunny your links to visit your farms don't work. I tried to come have some Lemonaide

oops I think I fixed it Ginasue....... I tried to do that think where you put your farm name instead of seeing the link itself.... ugh it didn't work at all duh me if it works don't fix it LOL

[SunnyD]

I bought the manure spreader and am not seeing 2 Large boxes show up in my storage. Is it supposed to say that? I also can't tell that I'm getting double the amount harvested. My crops are all highlighted. ?????

to test it ok? check your storage you already have on any given crop you have ready...... then harvest a field yourself making sure you have clicked to harvest and store and not harvest to sell, then then check your storage again..... you should see it then......

[SunnyD]

what are you doing to try to work it, and what is happening when you do that?

I click on the manure spreader then click move then click a farm diamond.... it takes me to that farm and the darn spreader lands in weird places on that farm and i can't use it.... i have started putting it in storage then going to the diff farms and take it out of storage to use it then put it back in storage... this is the only way i can use it........

[SusieB]

Nice touch. However, without spending real $$ on FC, you only gain 1 FC for each level. I have over $25,000,000 in c but can't buy a spreader.
Also, plowed for a farmer earlier who is at level 112 with less than 100,000 xp. I'm at 95 with over 70,000 and won't get to 96 for another 11,300 pts. Tried logging off & on to see if that changed things. It didn't. Have the xp b/w levels greatly decreased from now on? Please advise.

Would love to add neighbors, if this would help, but most of my FB friends quit when they were at levels in the 40's & I hate to pester those who don't farm and don't want to.

Thanks,
SusieB

[Juwalalce]

I am not sure if this is a product of the update but I have stopped getting the annoying pop-up that says my storage is full. If it is THANKS, if not TG for glitches.

Hi Sunny, so that you can click on the spreader after you have taken the image to another farm, click on the green 'walk' man. This will then allow you to click on the spreader to choose the menu to fertilise. Hope this works for you as it is so much easier than going through storage.

I had a Pizza shop/spreader for a while !! Rather ironic

[Angel7]

HELP HELP HELP - I just tried to do my 2nd fertilization and it doesn't work. Worked when I got the thing 3 days ago. Just went around to all 5 farms and it seemed to work, said that it worked when I did it, but now I return to farm 1 and it says "not fertilized" when hovering over the spreader even though everything is glowing like it is fertilized and has the (F) symbol when you look at a field. I went back to FaceBook and then back to Farm Town to reload my farm, but it still says "not fertilized" but squares are still glowing. I tried to fertilize farm 1 again, but it still shows not fertilized when I hover over the spreader. I have 1000 units of manure so that's not the problem. What's up - I'm on server 9

My fertilizer does travel to all farms, but it's just not fertilizing. Also just tried to move in and out of storage to fertilize each farm (instead of using the move to function), but it still does not work. I sure hope you are not going to tell us that every farm can only be fertilized if we don't have existing crops going at the time as that would mean we would never be fertilizing all our farms at the same time and sure will NOT work if you have multiple crops on a farm that come due on different days and that would be totally unacceptable.....

[Ginasue1]

Angel don't worry please, Your crops are ferilized. What happens is that the timer has run out on the manure speader for right now. Your crops got ferilized if they have the (F).

[JKB]

Ok - I remember seeing a version of this question earlier but don't recall an answer. My farm stays fertilized for "3 days". Is that 72 real - honest to God hours or some kind of madcap Farm Town hours with each "hour" actually being only 50 minutes long? (therefore the farm will stop being fertile (for "new" crops) in only 60 human hours (2 and 1/2 REAL days) ???

[Lavenda]

I don't recall an official comment on this, but it seems to be 3 full-length days (72 hours) rather than 3 FT days (60 hours). Fertilisation runout on the first farm I fertilised a few hours ago, and I did that one pretty much as soon as the update came out. That's a bit over 72 hours ago now. I'm plesantly surprised because I was expecting it to be based on FT days.

[Double T Dude Ranch]

oops I think I fixed it Ginasue....... I tried to do that think where you put your farm name instead of seeing the link itself.... ugh it didn't work at all duh me if it works don't fix it LOL

Type the name of the farm...click the little hyperlink *little world symbol* and paste in your farm id in the pop up box :)

[Ginasue1]

Sunny, I went to the BB Code site and followed the intructions on there. In fact did some copy and paste then change, to be able to have just the farm name show. Didn't like how my Facebook ID showed.

Just sent you the code in how to list your farm in your sig.

As some already confirmed in this thread about the manure spreader: 3 days = 72 hours. The great things about this new fertilizer are:

1. You have 250 units on the first purchase, ready to fertilize to 5 farms.
2. If your seeds are on 99% growth, once spread the manure you will have double the harvest.
3. Everything seeding in this 72 hours time frame will be double as well.
3a. Even when the fertilized field only active in less than an hour, any seeding still get double. In other words, you can still plant any of a 4/3/2/1-FarmTown-day seeds in the field that fertilized in less than an hour, and still get double the amount. :D

[Betty Chalovich]

Love this game.. I bought the Big Bulldozer and accidentally click on it with the small bulldozer and it deleted my big one without notifing me that it was going to delete it.

[Justliloleme]

Love the new updates - but please get rid of the limit on the animal sheds... I don't want a shed on each farm. I have a dairy that is holding 202 cows since before this update, and I get milk from all of them. The limit is silly - it's just a number - you could have it max out at 500 and there shoudl n't be any issues.
LOVE the fertalizer - bought one for me and a friend. I don't mind spending $$$ on such a great game.
Please let us have more farms next - I wanna play & decorate more :) hehehe
(ps - I know I am never satisfied - I always want more more more - but it's FT's fault for making such an addictive game!)

Yes, we need more farms!! Please!!! I need something to keep me busy, and farmville absolutley SUX!!! :) I love this game, but it is getting boring...need a new farm or 2 or 3 to decorate. :)

[olive mary watson]

thanks guys just when l think you have sypassed yourself and it cant get any better it does wow !!!!!! now about farm 6 lol xx

[Sassy Kathy]

I think the sort feature in the store is great. I didn't notice that there were new buildings until I saw my friend's new beach house. What a pleasant surprise. Gave me something to do tonight. I actually enjoy the new homes more than the facilities (at least for the moment). Many thanks. :)

[seanbt]

Thanks for all the new updates, however, I think the amount of items that can only be purchased with Dollars is a bit unfair as it take so long to get these, as you only get 1 dollar for each new level you reach. How would you get them once you reach the top level?

[seanbt]

This message is currently being sent to all farm town neighbours, how true is it, or is it a con?

Love farm 1 Angel!! Yes all your crops are fertilized went and looked at each. I was doing my 2nd time of fertilizing and notice that my existing crops are fertilized and my new ones I was planting aren't. So at that point you refertilize or you can wait. Since I have enough manure I choose to fertilize on the 1 day crops as I might forget. Boy you must have a lot of little piggies running around with 1000 manure available!! LOL

[SteelerChick]

When a user is hired to plow, the red/green cursor is not shown anymore, a regular yellow squared highlight around the harvested/wasted field is shown instead. Soon we will do something similar for the users working on their own farms.

THANK YOU. I hated those red lines! :)

[MsLadybug]

LOVE all the new stuff! I just finished having someone harvest a couple of fertilized fields of pumpkin/sunflowers. As near as I can tell, i got just over half of what I should have on a REGULAR harvest. 280 fields yielded 142 pumpkins in my storage! What's up with that? Am I confused. I thought fertilizing would double. ALSO, I can not move the spreader to my 5th farm. Had plenty manure with the 250 included in the purchase, but the spreader just won't place on my 5th farm. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[garden ho]

I have a question about the fertilized farms. Do crops remain fertilized until harvest time if they are planted just before the fertilized time expires? Say the farm only has 6 hours of fertilization left and you plant a 1 day crop - do the crops become "unfertilized" after 6 hours or remain fertilized until harvest.

I think the very first post by Raoul has an update that mentions a small glitch in the harvesting for others on fertilized farms. They are working on it but they do say it corrects itself when you refresh.

[garden ho]

thanks Raul can we get a pantry to separate the stored produce into keep and sell?

i like this idea too. I also wonder if there is a chance we might be able to include items in storage for selling in the market place, like your gifts. I have so many unused items in storage but it's a little tedious to place them on a farm in order to either delete or sell. Just a suggestion. . . :p

[SunnyD]

I need a favor...... can someone click on my farm link and tell me if it takes you to my farm?? so appreciated.........

[Pisces4444]

I have a question about the timing of fertilization. I just planted purple grapes and the fertilizer says that I have four hours left. What if the fertilized crop runs out just before the grapes? Will they get "un" fertilized?

[Rob T]

no, once fertilized, they stay that way.... so long as you plant before it runs out, you're fine :)

Yes, It does :)

My two cents for the Brewery. I love that one! :)

Just note, The brewery does require you to also own the semi truck for the yeast, also an $FC item

[Badlands Farmer]

Could we have the seeder and fertilizer spreader icon in the toolbox for easier access to them?

[kaylene]

My two cents for the Brewery. I love that one! :)

thanks :D I have the oast thingy and the semi so all set to go;)

[Ole Mac Donna]

awesome updates :) and thanks for the additional levels....now we just need farm6 :)

[LoreneC]

thanks :D I have the oast thingy and the semi so all set to go;)

Start your yeast in the truck about a week before you purchase the brewery to avoid being frustrated with how slow the yeast gets delivered. ;)

I love my brewery so much I purchased a 2nd truck!:)

[jesusfreak_1968@yahoo.com]

Please help ,I'm having issueswith my 4th farm.I have an area, that I can't plow,or delete,and it seems to be spreading. Thought I could exceptit and just decorate there.But noI bought a beach house and table , and tried to move it to no avail, it wont even let me delete it. What gives?

[jesusfreak_1968@yahoo.com]

I just love the manure spreader !Like having 10 farms instead of 5!:)

[ggranmum]

I know I saw the answer to my question somewhere but I cannot find it.
What is the ?x? for the tree shaker. What row by row should I put my trees. Some of the trees are bigger so will that affect the amount it shakes too. Thanks.

[JKB]

I "cleared away some brush" to add another 1/2 dozen fields to a previously fertilized and still "active" farm - they did not become fertilized even though the "Farm" is fertilized. So it's the fields that exist at the moment of fertilization that are fertilized - not the "Farm" per se. Don't know what happens if you delete a fertilized field, then plow another in the exact same spot, but my guess is that the new field would not be fertilized. Just an observation - may have been mentioned already....

Love it too...it is a money maker!

[SunnyD]

I would suggest that the 3 days have passed since you fertilised that farm so any new crops will have to be fertilised.

If you actually think about it ok.....if it was your farm that was actually fertilized then your trees and your flowers on that farm would also be fertilized so i am thinking it is your active plowed and seeded fields that are actually fertilized for the three day period.......so any newly plowed areas would not be then fertilized during that 3 day window......

[Mrs Borgies]

I believe the whole farm is fertilised so any new plots added during that 3 day period will also be fertilised.

Once the 3 days have passed, you will then need to re-fertilise your farm, although crops fertilised before the previous 3 days had passed, will remain fertilised for double crops.

It would be nice if we could have our trees and flowers fertilised as well but unfortunately, that is not the case.

[eaglewtchr]

I would suggest that the 3 days have passed since you fertilised that farm so any new crops will have to be fertilised.

You can move the fertilizer around to each farm and hover the mouse over the fertilizer and it will tell you how much fertilizer is left and how much time is left that the field will be fertilized.

[Ginasue1]

I looked at mine today, and it said the one field still had 74 hours that it would be fertilized.

[MsLadybug]

I think the very first post by Raoul has an update that mentions a small glitch in the harvesting for others on fertilized farms. They are working on it but they do say it corrects itself when you refresh.

Yes, I reviewed the original post. I had already refreshed before I came to the Forum. I will continue to watch my next harvests. If I do not receive the correct amount, I will clear my fields until the "glitch" is fixed.

[daybarb]

Many thanks for the many interesting facets you have added to this game. I love the fertilizer idea, and also the more realistic models of buildings that are now available! The Farm Town people must be very happy and pleased with their work in making this the best game in Face Book!

I love the new update! So many goodies with this one. The new look of the facilites is so much more appealing. The ability to fertilizer crops and double production is beyond fantastic and tempted me beyond resistance to make my first farm cash purchase. I also bought a little extra farm cash to satisfy my current wish list. The 15 extra farm cash for leveling up helped as well. The store sorting is a huge improvement.

Considering the amount of time I spend on farm town the farm cash is pretty cheep entertainment. Less than a night out at the movies or a nice dinner. As others have said - If you don't want to spend "real" money then don't - it's your choice. The game still functions very well without buying the stuff that takes farm cash. Its all about choices and if you really want this stuff then find a way to get it by giving up something else.

PS - Thanks for fixing the double hire plow issue and for allowing us to turn off the show fertilizer crop option.

This is by far the best game on facebook!!

I am having a problem with the new plow option. It seems as tho plowers can now plow in areas not previously plowed. Which is probably great for those who like to layer their crops but for those of us who set things up in a certain way it can be quite an anxiety ridden time watching someone plow all over you neatly planned out farm. Also really time consuming having to go back a delete 100's of unwanted plots.

No - you only need one .... just add it to storage and move from farm to farm. Just remember to have enough pigs in your pigsty and harvest them every 12 hours to have enough manure to fertilize your farms.

As I understand it..you need 50 bags of fertilizer on each farm. Each Pig, gives 1 bag of Fertilizer, the Pigsty can be harvested every 12 hours ...Each farm is Fertilized for 3 days..
Hope that helps x

How many pigs do I need to get the 50 bags of fertilize?

[Mrs Mags]

How many pigs do I need to get the 50 bags of fertilize?
If you harvest your Pigsty once a day, you will need 50 Pigs. Or if you harvest your Pigsty every 12 hours (Twice a day) you will need 25 Pigs to get 50 bags of Fertilizer. :)
