Hi Farmers,


Here are some bug fixes for the latest release:

1. Avatar slowness while farming: The speed of the avatar and the game has been improved significantly when farming (sowing,plowing,harvesting) alone and for others.

Also, when you hire others for plow, you will not see any more animations for increasing XP and decreasing Coins when others plow, it makes the game slower and really doesn't help much anyways.


2. Slow Deletes: Delete operations should be now as fast as they were before, with the yellow and white dozer.

3. Sometimes fields plowed on one farm were appearing on another farm, this should be now corrected.

4. Some users were able to impersonate messages and send messages as if they were forum moderators or other users. This impersonation security issue should now have been solved.

5. When you hire someone at the market and they start working on your farm, you can now see the status messages back on the screen as a sign that they are working.

6. Some people with very high XP were not able to advance in the levels, this is now fixed.

7. If you have a mobile sprinkler in your storage and you are visiting a neighbour farm, you should now see the sprinkler where the water can was before. The previous version of this fix didn't work 100% so please try again if you are having issues.

1. Farm 7: Below are the prices in coins. Farm Cash prices remain the same.

12x12 Farm 7: 7,000,000
14x14 Upgrade: 4,000,000
16x16 Upgrade: 5,000,000
18x18 Upgrade: 6,000,000
20x20 Upgrade: 200,000,000
22x22 Upgrade: 300,000,000
24x24 Upgrade: 400,000,000

2. 25 New Levels (60 items, all in coins): 25 new buildings and 35 new items added to the Container, Farming, Fun, Furniture, Motion and Other categories.

3. 18 Thanksgiving items and gifts (all in coins but 2): These were launched last week.

4. 15 new Farm Machinery Implements (decorations) as gifts: This will be launched later today or tomorrow.

5. Item Storage Improvements:

- 'Items' Tab added to market window: This will allow you to sell items in your storage without putting them in your farm first.

- Filters: You can now filter items in your item storage by category. There is one special category named 'Seasonal' that contains all Seasonal items.

6. Market Improvements:

- 'Sell Half' button added: This will allow you to sell only half of your products.

- 'Sell All' button below Non-Ingredients filter: This will allow you to sell all products at once when the 'Non-Ingredients' filter is selected. Based on user feedback, we may decide to add this button to other categories as well, although this can be a little risky.

7. Value added to premium tools: If you own a farm cash tool and have enough fuel to spare, you can now use those tools when working for others. When you get to the employee's farm, the Gifts and Store icons will be replaced by any Farm Cash tool you could use.

8. Trading limit expanded: You can now buy up to 1000 products (almost a full farm with tight fields) every 12 hours with other players to meet the demand of your facilities.

9. Hamburger Restaurant: Allows you to produce burgers. You can produce burger bread in the bakery. You can catch Mahi Mahi on the Small Sea Coasts.

French Fries
Cheeseburger
Mushroom Burger
Grilled Fish Burger
Grilled Chicken Burger
Supreme Burger

10. Frozen Food Factory: Allows you to produce food. You can catch Cod on the Big Sea Coasts.

Mango Pulp
Frozen Fruits
Frozen Vegetables
Frozen Pasta
Steak TV Dinner
Fish TV Dinner
Frozen Pizza

11. Cosmetic Factory: Allows you to produce cosmetics.

Mascara
Nail Polish
Foundation
Blush
Lipstick

You can produce beeswax in the Bee Farm.
You can produce cocoa butter in the Chocolate Factory.
You can produce plasticizer in the Petrochemical Plant.
You can produce talc rocks in the Open-Pit Mine.
The 'Ink Factory' was upgraded to the 'Ink and Pigments Factory', so you can produce the required pigments.

12. Air Fresheners Factory: Allows you to produce Air Fresheners.

Bathroom Air Fresheners
Incense Sticks
Scented Candles
Car Air Fresheners
Reed Diffusers
Potpourri

Enjoy!

Thanks

The usual "Great Release" bots are out in force I see...never mind that yet again release notes come AFTER the release is out and most of us have already figured it out.

And this has to be the sloppiest deployment yet...by my count at least 8 servers are not letting you buy the new farm or the new facs. Nice stuff in the deployment (though I await not having to click in the gift box for each single item..like items should be summed together and only one click required to get them) but less than impressive deployment.

Looks great. One or two of the new facilities will go on my "maybe next year" list. I would have preferred to see the hamburgers and fries added to what we can produce at the sandwich shop (and would have been glad to pay the same for that as for the new facility).
Also seems the air fresheners could have been added to the Perfume Factory (also, of course, requiring that we pay for these expanded functions).
The improvements to Storage and Market Place functions sound excellent; haven't tried them yet. Appreciate that you and your staff, Raul, are responsive to user feedback on these topics:) :)

1. Farm 7: Below are the prices in coins. Farm Cash prices remain the same.

12x12 Farm 7: 7,000,000

18x18 Upgrade: 6,000,000
20x20 Upgrade: 200,000,000
22x22 Upgrade: 300,000,000
24x24 Upgrade: 400,000,000

2. 25 New Levels (60 items, all in coins): 25 new buildings and 35 new items added to the Container, Farming, Fun, Furniture, Motion and Other categories.

3. 18 Halloween items and gifts (all in coins but 2): These were launched last week.

4. 15 new Farm Machinery Implements (decorations) as gifts: This will be launched later today or tomorrow.

The Frozen Food Factory will probably go on my "maybe next year list;" however, (just my personal thought here) I'd have paid the same for adding this function to the existing Preserves Factory -- more functionality, less layout space required. By now I have long since realized that this isn't the direction Slashkey is taking, so simply adjust and limit my layouts to what fits in both space-wise and in keeping with my FT layout concept.
Congrats, developers, on your responsiveness to users and on your creativity and dedication to providing a fun, interesting and -- yes -- educational application.

One of my good friends sent me a Cosmetic Factory as a gift, I put it on my farm and after reloading the farm it has gone!!!!

Fantastic!!! Good job. Everything is gone in my storage under Non-ingredients, except 1 magnolia. I will be patient, as I'm sure it will show up. I had no trouble buying and upgrading my Farm #7 to the max. Thanks to the Dev's for this wonderful upgrade.

And this has to be the sloppiest deployment yet...by my count at least 8 servers are not letting you buy the new farm or the new facs. Nice stuff in the deployment (though I await not having to click in the gift box for each single item..like items should be summed together and only one click required to get them) but less than impressive deployment.

When I was new to the game I couldn't figure out why the notes in the game guide were out after the game, and then I discovered that these are produced by the moderators who are voluntary workers, and have to wait with the rest of us for the release. Instead of working on farm 7, they work on the notes for us.

If, however, you are talking about the note from Raul about the new release, I noticed that wasn't there at first (only becoming aware of the new release when I suddenly levelled up), but they can't put it out before they update, so it has to go out afterwards. I admit it's frustrating, but that's part of life in the real world.

Correct....and I, who is the moderator that currently works on the Game Guide cannot buy farm 7 or facilities...so it will have to wait later ehehe :D

We don't get the info beforehand...and any info is better than none and plenty of people DO use it after. They wait to read it before buying the facilities.

Oodles and oodles of thanks to Raul and the devs!!!

Just like the previous amazing ones, this update was worth the wait. Now I'll wait a tad longer until the dust settles down a bit. I usually get some newly-bought items disappearing on me at first only to re-surface after sometime. So holding back now with great difficulty!

Hi Dianne...yes...having served as a moderator on the worlds largest poker site I do know they are volunteers...BUT that said...too bad...Slashkey should get it's act together and publish before a release is deployed...common sense.

Hey Double T Dude...yep...I'm sure that' 100% the truth...been there...done that...not kicking ya'll around at all...

They most certainly, however, should deploy the notes before they put out the release.

I saw that Double T Dude...it's bad when Slashkey inadvertantly doesn't let a moderator get the new release. Should we have some kind of pool to see who gets it first? Methinks I'll just have to harvest some of these 1000's of trees in the meantime...think I have enough to do!

The release notes are always going to follow the actual release and the problem may be that the servers might be having issues because of the massive influx of players coming online to get their new stuff. I have yet to hear of a game yet that does not experience some issues when updates are released. At least we are actually getting updates and they just keep giving us the stuff we ask for. Maybe they are working on the gifts acceptance method as part of a future release.

I love the new stuff. I had a felling that we would be able to use our tools at other farms soon thank you very much for that. I also love the increased limit for buying stuff from others. I look forward to using the new filters in storage and being able to sell stuff from storage.

Since the game started the developers have released the updates then come make the announcement about he update I don’t see that changing. I also don’t want them to make the announcement first because anything can happen at the last minute and they are delayed in releasing the stuff and people are raising hell on the forum for the release.

4. 15 new Farm Machinery Implements (decorations) as gifts: This will be launched later today or tomorrow.

5. Item Storage Improvements:

- 'Sell Half' button added: This will allow you to sell only half of your products.

- 'Sell All' button below Non-Ingredients filter: This will allow you to sell all products at once when the 'Non-Ingredients' filter is selected. Based on user feedback, we may decide to add this button to other categories as well, although this can be a little risky.

7. Value added to premium tools: If you own a farm cash tool and have enough fuel to spare, you can now use those tools when working for others. When you get to the employee's farm, the Gifts and Store icons will be replaced by any Farm Cash tool you could use.

8. Trading limit expanded: You can now buy up to 1000 products (almost a full farm with tight fields) every 12 hours with other players to meet the demand of your facilities.

You can produce cocoa butter in the Chocolate Factory.
You can produce plasticizer in the Petrochemical Plant.
You can produce talc rocks in the Open-Pit Mine.
The 'Ink Factory' was upgraded to the 'Ink and Pigments Factory', so you can produce the required pigments.

12. Air Fresheners Factory: Allows you to produce Air Fresheners.

Bathroom Air Fresheners
Incense Sticks
Scented Candles
Car Air Fresheners
Reed Diffusers

Enjoy!

I have been working in the market which I have not done for some time..... I think some might be thinking I am a "bot" running over their farms LOL

You get hired very quickly when you say that you can harvest with the cash tools through hiring now. One thing to be aware of though is if you are hired with someone that does not have the x16 tools, don't be greedy and only take your share. :)

more levels?

game is turning into a life long chore...might have to tap out

This might just be goodbye for me, too. Have six farmers and had only got one to 135, another one was on the brink. Now the highest is 143. 17 more levels to go at 25k or more pts each? I don't think so. Thanks for giving me my life back - no more 6 or more hrs a day on FT. Off to a new phase. It was a fun 18 mos.

I always enjoyed working the MP but now that workers can use the cash tools while harvesting there will be no way that I will be able to advance in coins any longer. The game will be ruined for ppl who can't afford the cash tools. I am upset about this new release. I understand that the developers have every right to make some money, but it is really putting a lot a players at an unfair dissadvantage.

What a wonderful Christmas Present and it is only November..Thankyou Raul and all you staff and designers, what a great job you do.!!!! By the way, I thought the sprinkler was a kick in the *** but when I saw poop falling from the sky I fell off my chair. I sprinkle poo and rain drops everyday some times more just for the animation. I am easily amused.... LMAO

Many thanks to the hard working devs and mods for giving me so much enjoyment for FREE, glitches and all ;) :D
Yes, for sure. And glitches are to be expected in the roll our of major changes to any program. There are "gremlins" which only show up in real time use of an application regardless how much pre-release testing is done.
BTW, I've gotten my farm 7 (12x12), and have had no problems. Have not however gotten any other new things since I'm not particularly interested in acquiring the new facilities at this time. Nor have I had a chance to explore the new sell and storage features. The sell and storage improvements sound excellent.
I'm still just a bit disappointed, as always with new updates, that the concept of a general purpose little country eatery (breakfasts, lunches & simple dinners) hasn't taken off. Just a personal thing, LOL, and I don't really expect it to happen.
Also had hoped that we might be getting at least two new ground cover choices -- snow and dry grass that would cover the entire background like the Tall and Taller Grass do. I'll just keep voting for those and for varied height fir and pine trees when it comes up in the Suggestions Area here.

Once again, lots of good stuff with this upgrade. So glad to see the Sell All button on the Non-Ingredients. And nice to see that workers can use the FC tools. (I hired someone to plow 3 farms, and he was done in under a minute. Gotta love it.) :)

i looked in the game guide to see the requirments that the new facilities need to produce the items, but only found what they produce.

what ingredients does the new burger joint need?

I only hire one person when I use the marketplace so if someone does not have tools it won't matter. I think lots of people only hire solo now since it is so hard to get help.

I would be very surprised if this was the case. There are a vast majority of people who havent got the new 4x4 tools and there will always be people who cant afford them, and prefer to spend their FC on facilities. So, I think there will still be plenty of work around for the rest of us. Dont forget, these people also have to have the fuel available to use them, it might not prove cost effective for them to be used all the time. Just my opinion. :)

Nov 12 2010, 09:17 PM
Now to await the next upgrade No, I don't have my existing farms fully enlarged. Nor do I have all facilities, not that I plan to. I'll be enjoying the new Storage and Selling features and continuing to toss a few suggestions in here at the Forum and keep the proverbial fingers crossed that when the developers run out of new specialized facilities to create, maybe we'll get some consolidation. Coin or Cash, that would be great :)

And to Raul, the Moderators, the Creators, and the Developers ~ Thank You.
:D


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



Raul ~ I wanted to let you know that the subtle trickle of new
fences n hedges that have become available are fabulous!

And the Big Bulldozer is exactly what I needed!
;)

I thank you so much ~ not just for taking the time to inquire ~ but you
are listening to all of us as well, and that is Priceless.

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



Oh, will there come a time in the future where perhaps
we will be able to 'favor fertilize' our Neighbors' fields?
:confused:

I'm thinking it's not only yet another way to highlight yer Neighbors'
day, and their crops...lol, but the Social aspects of this game as well
which frankly is one of my favorite things about your Application.
:)

Of course, you run the risk of selling a lot more doo-dee spreaders once folks
get a 'taste' of how hella cool the whole double crops and/or double pay
and dibby out portions to the workers n stuff.
<<<cheesy grin>>>

~*~*~ Break in the Action for Humor~*~*~
:p
Can I ask the Slashkey Santa for some long hippy hair to match mine,
and perhaps new clothes? I been wearing the same thing for a year now
and just the other day I heard a rumor that folks think can't afford
new clothes ~ and I am a Farm Town Billionaire now!
:eek:

Heehee...ok, back to mah Zen Farming.

I have a FT Hoarders group meeting tonight.

Just in time for Farm Seven.

I'm thrilled that the Farmtown folks actually read what we write and take our suggestions into consideration. Love the new market place improvements and am very excited that I can use my cash tools at others' farms. I currently have over 430,000 units of fuel available with more being made every day.
While I'm on my soap box, I also want to let my fellow players know how much I appreciate all the information I get here on the forum. It makes being a kid again (at 60) even more enjoyable!

If I understand correctly, anyone with a tree chopper or harvester can use it while working on others farms. I don't have a tree chopper or harvester and normally hire these jobs out. Should I rearrange my trees in case someone with a chopper or harvester works for me? If I do rearrange them, what is the best way for them to be arranged?

Already have farm 7 expanded all the way, and planted, and all four new facilities ready for action (some already filled! Whoo hoo!) I just love everything you're doing, so, just ignore the ignoramuses who like to complain and whine! I REALLY love we can sell half of our stuff now!!!! That is so much nicer!!!!! You have really outdone yourselves this time! Thank you from a severely addicted FT player who has been at this game since shortly after you put it out...ohhhhhh remember having to be careful where you clicked while working on other's farms so your avatar didn't come unstuck??? WOW what a change this game is now!

If you do re-arrange them in 4x8 (32 tree) groups. They need to be arranged left to right 8 long and 4 rows as close as you can get them.

Thanks for all the updates. Like the fact that you can use some of the tools you bought on other peoples farm. I've used the tree shaker only problem is that it stops working after a few times, then keeps saying that you can only use the tree shaker on harvestable trees but they are ready to be harvested.

Well got it to work, after I clicked on the harvest tool and harvested a few then the tree harvester worked.

I love the new update. And the selling of half of what we have of an item was a great addition.

I love that we can sort our storage items, but on that note, I would love to see the storage open to the same category each time or allow us to remove multiples of the same item from storage just as we can when we purchase. would be much easier when we are moving many items from one farm to another.

Please keep up the great work. This is the best game on facebook.

Have now used the new features for Storage and selling at the Market Place -- great !!
Not so pleased with the design of the hamburger shop. Way to "cute." Maybe a single old style dining car, but this looks strange. ..... Maybe an optional design in the future? Similar to the new design that came out for the Sandwich Shop would be very nice.

Am I right in assuming this means tools like the Flower harvester, logging truck?

Great update, especially the market place selling improvement and being able to use my fishing boat on other farms! Thank you :)

There is a glitch though, saving changes takes ages and ages :(

Nice updates. But once again you add more things before you fix the problems that we already have. You really need to do something about the market. There is no way to show what people are there for. Like sell,hire or looking for work. The only way we can hire someone is to click on them and hope to get a response. That takes forever, since there are also people selling and looking to hire. Everyone is all mixed up.

This might just be goodbye for me, too. Have six farmers and had only got one to 135, another one was on the brink. Now the highest is 143. 17 more levels to go at 25k or more pts each? I don't think so. Thanks for giving me my life back - no more 6 or more hrs a day on FT. Off to a new phase. It was a fun 18 mos.

I totally agree here. why am I going to earn 50,ooo points just so I can now buy a hydrain or whatever, thats not an incentive for me. and now 2 billion points to reach level 160. omg... I do have a life. you keep listening to players who say they can earn points and money so easy, and the same players say "I can earn 20 million a day, everyday," easy " and I only play 18 hours a day on farmtown. or a another player says I have 3 wine cellars and two juice factorys ,etc etc. I dont want to have two of the same facilities and compromise my farm designs. this game was a relaxing game, now its seem to be all about earn a number on your screen.(points)
I bet most of the players only want more levels for free cash anyway.

some people see a hill in front of him/her when they see the points to reach level 160. i see mountain, when I can only put in 1 hour a night monday too friday and afew more hours at the weekend. atleast give us an option to buy points with farmcash for people with lives.

Nov 13 2010, 06:56 AM
That would be 2 Million points,

The two Billion was the $$coin I had until #7 came out. I bought most with coin and the rest with FT$$ that came with the added levels.

It seems like there are 2 months or so between new farms. That's good... may take about that long to remodel and re-design now. lol

Okay.... bring on farm #8

The latestest upgrades for Farmtown are OUT OF THIS WORLD ! I loved going to market to find I could not sell my stored items and given the option to sell all or HALF...STUPENDOUS GUYS !

And to be able to finally get more land to expand these facilities on is outstanding but I think what excited me the more was............wait for it.......... GETTING FT DOLLARS FOR LEVELING AGAIN YIPEEEEEEEEEE GUYS YOU "ARE" THE BEST GAME ON FACEBOOK HANDS DOWN !:)

Nov 13 2010, 08:22 AM
I'm pretty upset actually... we've been wanting to use our tools on neighbors farms since the 4x4 tools were released. And if I have this right... you can only do that if you have farm cash to buy those expensive plowers and harvesters (I dont mind the others because those are only in cash)? That felt like a small slap in the face to me :( Why can't our smaller coin ones work that way too? There's still an incentive to purchase the cash ones anyway...if I had the money I'd do it cause less clicking is awesome.

And don't respond to me about getting cash is easy because it is not easy for all players.

I might not be understanding which tools this means but I really hope they wouldn't do this to us regarding the plowers and harvesters.

I have been the happiest farmer since 4 am this morning. Really loved going and doing other peeps farms (Yes it did make me buy the 4x4 tools) I have always fished for others but now its GREAT !!!!
7th farm was maxed out by 7 am with all new facilities and harvests.
I too will stop moaning for a few weeks about getting an upgrade cos I will spend more time on others farms to stop the boredom.

Well done for such a fantastic game

Nov 13 2010, 09:27 AM
Ok, my thoughts on these updates....
SWEET!!! I now have set my goals to have 28 farms (7x4) and then 35 if I get a 5th account lol I just need to make some serious coin cause this is getting expensive. Oh well, it's fun doin it all, so i shall not complain about that.

I was rather disappointed to see that I was no longer in the top level. Well, that is my fault, because i do other apps that as well prove to be far surperior to the evil FV (though Farm Town is STILL my favorite) I shall get it up there though. I shall look at is as a new goal rather than a setback lol

Using the premium tools on other farms... Just fished my girlfriends farm with the boat. She was like "OMFG! Look how fast you just fished all of that!" So, now I have added incentive to get the 4x4 tools (at least the harvester and plower)

New facilities...
OMFG!!! This is getting beyond what I can do!!! Farm Town... WHY do you tempt me with such SIN!!! I must have them!!!

As for the Marketplace...
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
It used to be that Firefox was the SLOWEST browser you could do your selling with. And, it just so happens that Firefox is the Browser i do my big account on. Well, I went in and went to non-ingredients, saw the sell all button, clicked on it.... and in seconds, I was done!!!

HOLY ^$*&^%^)*&_P%@$()+(W+(W+^Q$#$&^&%(!!!!!!!
*faints from the excitement*

marwahr
Nov 13 2010, 10:12 AM
I have been working in the market which I have not done for some time..... I think some might be thinking I am a "bot" running over their farms LOL

You get hired very quickly when you say that you can harvest with the cash tools through hiring now. One thing to be aware of though is if you are hired with someone that does not have the x16 tools, don't be greedy and only take your share. :)

Yes I have too - it is such a FABULOUS investment!!! Thank you so so so much oh great Raul and Devs in cyberspace. We truly love you ... mmmmmmwahhhh

Nov 13 2010, 10:34 AM
Thanks for the great updates. I am going to be very busy.

I want to know before I go off and buy the premium cash tools exactly the ones I will need. Call me stupid but I did this the old fashioned way. Click, click, click.

FC $45 4 X 4 Harvester that uses fuel?
FC $45 Soar Powered Plower that uses no fuel?

How many oil refineries would I need to keep up with the fuel costs? I have one now. With six farms all with the oil pumps going.

Another question of mine is about inactive neighbors. Some of my friends have quit playing FT and went to that "other farm game". Should I remove them and find active ones to get more fuel when I have to refuel?

TIA! Happy farming!

I love the added levels, the new coin facilities and being able to use our tools at others farms. However I don't like just the farm cash tools! I am at the top level and will always be it seems. The only way for me it to buy coins or to do the 'earn cash' things. I have played this game for a long time and enjoy many of the changes the dev team has made over the year and a half. I think you should reward long term players with farm cash after every 10,000,000 coins or so.

I would be very surprised if this was the case. There are a vast majority of people who havent got the new 4x4 tools and there will always be people who cant afford them, and prefer to spend their FC on facilities. So, I think there will still be plenty of work around for the rest of us. Dont forget, these people also have to have the fuel available to use them, it might not prove cost effective for them to be used all the time. Just my opinion. :)

One of those would be me. I have chosen not to buy the 4x4 tools because my farms are set up for 3x3 or 2x2, and I like the way they look. The tools didn't seem a good value for me. Would rather spend the Farm Cash on factories.

Can i make a comment about the ink and pigment facility - to produce red ink requires 1 beet and 1 soybean and a batch sells for 780 coins. However, to produce red pigment only requires 1 beet and yet a batch sells for 900 coins. There is a similar situation with the black ink/pigment. I realise that these items go on to become ingredients in farm cash facilities but really in the context of the ink and pigment facility as a stand alone it does not make sense.

Not so pleased with the design of the hamburger shop. Way to "cute." Maybe a single old style dining car, but this looks strange. ..... Maybe an optional design in the future? Similar to the new design that came out for the Sandwich Shop would be very nice.

it looks like 2 cabooses side by side but turned in opposite directions

My pending is taking a long time again with my bulldozer. It was like that and then it shortened to just seconds and now it takes over 20 minutes again to pend. Is that going to be fixed?

Ah-ha! You're right. Now I can almost see someone ding that for real -- buying a couple old cabooses, linking them and refitting them as an eatery. Guess I'll retract my comment and give the developers a thumbs up for their creativity on this one :)

yes the avatars run slower, but the coins popping up in the air still go just as fast, and thats all that counts, cause when the coins are done popping you can leave and not worry about the avatar
Yes, I noticed this too. The job is complete when the coins finish rolling up. First time I saw this, I waited for my avatar to finish, then realized that isn't necessary. Thanks, Duck, for pointing this out here.

Thank you Raul. I have a question though. Some of my neighbors haven't leveled up and still have gotten the new items. Is there any reason why some haven't gotten it? Just curious.

I don't know where to ask this. I can't find this info and am sure I am over looking it somewhere. I was wondering how much fuel it takes to run the tree chopper and how many trees the fuel chops down. Does it cost the same amount of fuel if there are 20 trees in the area you click on or only one tree?

Costs the same if you click one tree or 20 at a time. It will chop down all the trees you have..works best in 8x4 arrangement. Believe it's just one fuel tank for one click. I don't pay much attention anymore lol.

Fantastic!!! Good job. Everything is gone in my storage under Non-ingredients, except 1 magnolia. I will be patient, as I'm sure it will show up. I had no trouble buying and upgrading my Farm #7 to the max. Thanks to the Dev's for this wonderful upgrade.

Just correcting the record...I had a brain malfunction. I won't tell what happened, so don't ask...lol! Everything is fine! In fact, it is super. I will be going to market to work since I can use my tools on the other farms.

If you do re-arrange them in 4x8 (32 tree) groups. They need to be arranged left to right 8 long and 4 rows as close as you can get them.

Ok, so I should have pine trees in 4 by 8. Should there be gaps between each group, or could one just make 4 rows the length of the field. Also, I understood that the the chopper does less oak trees. How should they be arranged.

Does the chopper do 32 bamboo trees at a time? How about cinnamon trees?

Chopper and harvester work best with the 4x8 design as well.

Design however you want, just know that the 32 is the biggest that the tools will grab.

Oops was mistakenly thinking that I'd paid FT Cash for the 3/3 tools, so was hoping to use them at the MP. My mistake. So just harvested almost a rull farm of rhubarb and then plowed the farm. ... Oh, well, sold the rhubarb at the MP and got some needed FT Coins and also some Exp. Points for the plowing.
Going to have to decide, when I buy my $20 worth of FT Cash in December if I want to use the FT Cash for one of the tools or for a facility I'm thinking of and put the tools on the list for April next year.
Ah, decisions, decisions LOL Just like real life, hmm?

I think that the majority of farmers will NOT have the fc tools to use. I don't feel that work will become an issue unless the one with tools wants to be greedy and not share or turn off the tools. With all the complaints that come in here about fc and how people feel that spending money for the game, I doubt thsi will mkae them buy the tools, so based on all teh complaints I see here, I bet most players have no or little fc tools

I just reached level 159 and it won't count my xp towards level 160. It just says EXPERIENCE POINTS now. Isn't the top level now 160? I'm happy with 159, if that's in fact the top, but...
Of course, it might be one of my senior moments.:D
Also commenting on the use of the 4x4 tools: When I'm the only one harvesting, I will do the whole farm. If someone else is present, I just do a third or a half so that the other person gets a chance to harvest as well. It's just how I think I would like to be treated, if I didn't have the tools available to me.:)

Level 160 is the new high level. Is the xp counter still moving as you collect points?

Were the XP that should have taken you over into Level 160 the result of working others' farms? To officially get into the next level, YOU must do something on your own farm that earns XP. :)

Re only the FT Cash tools being eligible to be used on others' farms, I look at it as a management decision by Slashkey. We may of course make comments at the Feedback section or Suggestions section of the Forum. However, like many things in RL, it's one of those decisions made at an "upper level" that we just work with:) And, this being a game, well, all games have rules. Whether one thinks the rules are "fair" or logical isn't the point. They simply are what they are.
I just finished a harvesting and plowing job solo at the MP and no complaint from the farmer because I don't have the tools to speed it up.

I was surprised to see that I didn't max out with the new levels and I see why - they have finally increased the xp to level at the upper levels. Good, that will slow some people down and soak up the extra xp. But you should have also noted that there was a change to the leveling structure in the release.

Nice job, well done with many improvements. I'm disappointed that we all cannot use our tools on others' farms, but whatever. I barely work anyone else's farm anymore anyway! My own takes up more than enough time.

I noticed the same thing. Painfully slow. Thought it was my browser or my system, till I took note of the "packet passing" that was going on. Probably just a glitch that has to be ironed out after the release of the upgrade.

Woo Hoo! We'll be harvesting like mad men at this rate. Currently the game is COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE. It is literally taking me three minutes to clear three 2x2 squares.

This game is currently unplayable. One minute to clear one 2x2 square is unacceptable.

:D :D :D FT Developers, you TOTALLY ROCK!! Just flew through the MP and came home about 15 million coins richer.:D Hornyroo finally got his "Sell All" button, and it is fabulous!! Love the new facilities, and the seasonal storage is puurrrfect. Just finished pulling all my Christmas stuff out (before the implementation of the tab) and was muttering under my breath about how tedious it was. So, tedious no more. :)

One very small request, and I know it's on the list -- could you please make the storage window stay where you last were, at least for a few minutes. I just unloaded 50 sidewalk pieces I had stored, with some trepidation, to move my "town" to Farm 7. The result was worth the effort, but as expected, it took a long time. :cool:

BRAVO! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!! FARMTOWN IS SO SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHER GAME, IT'S THE HANDS DOWN WINNER IN MY BOOK!!! AND YOU JUST KEEP MAKING IT BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER AND . . .

I can't find anywhere to tell about this problem. It's been going on since the last few updates. When I have two or more farms being plowed by workers I end up with new plow plots on a farm they aren't even on and sometimes they overlap on top of plots already made. I don't notice this until after I see dead crops under them. Then at times I can't delete them. I even get plots on a neighbors farm beside me. And sometimes I see plowed plots at the market. Very strange. Also when I work for people at the market I see they have the same problem.

Thank you for all the new stuff.

Love the updates. I was hired to harvest in other farm, we are actually two farmers harvesting, the other one is using the 4x4 harvester and me was only using manual . Is it fair? and in the market someone was asking if somebody has a plower in the storage, does it mean that the other farmers won't hire to plow for those farmers that does not own a plower? I started playing FT since march or april 2009 and i love it as a matter of fact i built a skyscraper and i put I LOVE FT in my 5th farm. (excuse my english i'm not an english speaking farmer) thanks for reading this.

Thanks for the great updates. I am going to be very busy.

I want to know before I go off and buy the premium cash tools exactly the ones I will need. Call me stupid but I did this the old fashioned way. Click, click, click.

FC $45 4 X 4 Harvester that uses fuel?
FC $45 Soar Powered Plower that uses no fuel?

How many oil refineries would I need to keep up with the fuel costs? I have one now. With six farms all with the oil pumps going.

Another question of mine is about inactive neighbors. Some of my friends have quit playing FT and went to that "other farm game". Should I remove them and find active ones to get more fuel when I have to refuel?

TIA! Happy farming!

I have 1 refinery and I have pumps on all 7 farms. I have filled up twice since using the refinery. The first time I had over 500,000 fuel. In the time it took me to use all that, the next time I filled up I had 1.2 million fuel. I am able to split my oil between fuel and petrochemical and have plenty to go around. That was with only 6 farms. I also layer my crops so use a lot to plant. It can be done easily.

The new update is Fantastic ... there are many features that show that the devs/designers are LISTENING to the people who play this game ... what a refreshing thing ... I played another couple games where the complaints and suggestions fell always on deaf ears ... but here ... there are actual people listening and responding ... THANK YOU !!!

I hate to complain since everything is going so well but ... One thing that puzzles me though is the Burger joint design ... ????? ... Can someone please come up with an alternative view of that ... it is SO TOTALLY OUT OF CHARACTER ... trying to fit it in with the other facilities is a terrible chore ... it is so outsized that it dwarfs other facilities ... you could fit 4 bakeries or 3 Pasta Restaurants into the Burger joint and still have room to spare ... on that note ... it is about time to update the looks of a couple other facilities to bring them in line with the rest of the new look of this phenomenal game ... the facilities are the Dairy Processing Plant, the Chocolate Factory, the Ice Cream Factory, and (to a lesser extent) the Sugar Refinery ...

Other than those ICONS ... I am of the opinion that the developers/designers are the best ... keep up the fantastic work and THANK YOU FOR LISTENING ... :D

That's a good question. It's been a long time since I've gone to the market looking for work but I do recall when I was first starting, well probably for the first 70-80 levels it was something I did regularly to help gain XP and money. Since it's only the 4x4 machines (and other FC tools) that can be used on other farms it might not have a huge impact as not all players will have those, and those that do might on the whole be less inclined to seek work at the market. Hopefully, there'll still be plenty of opportunities for less experienced players to get plenty of work at market to help them progress through the game :)

LOVE all the new updates! The "Sell All" thing is the best thing since being able to exchange gifts. And being able to do multi-tasks when hired or hiring ROCKS! I had almost stopped going to the market place because I could do my own work so much faster but today I hired someone who used the 4x4 tools and it was great fun! I enjoyed it so much that I contacted a neighbor and asked her if I could harvest for her. I did her crops, trees and flowers and had a great time - AND got cool products I can use. Thanks for keeping the game fun and interesting. :)

Love the enhancements. Thank you so much. Just some feedback I've noticed since the release... now when I'm in the market and hire someone to work my farm, I no longer see it written across the screen that that person is working on my farm. So I don't know if they are there working or if they got booted on the way to my farm. Is that supposed to be this way now?

7. Value added to premium tools: If you own a farm cash tool and have enough fuel to spare, you can now use those tools when working for others. When you get to the employee's farm, the Gifts and Store icons will be replaced by any Farm Cash tool you could use.


This is the worst idea ever, for those of us that don't own the tools and get hire to harvest or plow with others they should of thought of that, if it was hard enough getting to harvest for others now it will be worst..

Love farmtown and all goodies - have slight concerns when being hired as I had a harvester but other person hired did not so I just did half and left the rest for them.... some don't and that can put off single plot harvesters which is a shame.
One other thing - has anyone had the problem of trying to visit farm 7 when hired to work facilities? The head of the avatar is in the way and it seems that I cannot get to farm 7 as can't find the 'sweet spot' on the farm 7 diamond....... that would explain how my other farms are worked but farm 7 isn't.... wonder if it just me?
Well done Devs - a brilliant game :)

Were the XP that should have taken you over into Level 160 the result of working others' farms? To officially get into the next level, YOU must do something on your own farm that earns XP. :)

I have leveled up and been given the notice to confirm while plowing on a neighbor or strangers farm, many, many times. Farmers working on my farm have told me the just leveled up while working on my farm. Congratulations and thank you were exchanged.:confused:

I must be dense on this tree thing. I was going to arrange my trees in a way that would work should I hire someone who uses teh chopper. However, I simply do not understand how they should be arranged. I realize they should be 4 rows of 8 trees going from left to right or right to left. I take it that the chopper chops a rectangle and it cannot be rotated. However, I was told it does less oaks than pines, so am assuming that this arrangement is for pines. How about bamboo, oak and cinnamon. Is the arrangement the same for them? Surely there must be instructions for teh slow of learning somewhere on this forum. I would think it would be spelled out somewhere so that people can know exactly what was needed before even buying the equipment, such as arrangement and amount of fuel required. If there is such a place, would someoen please send me a link or tell me where to go to find it.

I love all the new enhancements you have added, but some of us are not so lucky to have enough farm cash to purchase the harvester and plower, you need to give us a chance to use our tools that we have purchased with our coins since we don't have the farm cash needed.

Please Help.
