I am so tired of spending $$ on a new tool only to have it outdated! Why can't we get a cash trade in credit for an upgrade on that tool instead of having to pay full price.

For the new tools, you have to have the one before you can buy it anyway. If someone new entered the game right now, they would have to buy the 4x4 harvestor with FC$ and THEN buy the 5x5 with FC$. You can not just buy the 5x5 straight from scratch. This is to prevent people from being irritated, as you are.

I also am experiencing the gifting bug. I put in a request for seafood seasoning 8 hours ago. I got one comment on the wall post saying sent, but nothing in my gift box. Tried to send someone a gift this morning and it gave me the notice that I have gotten my 250k in the last 3 hours. I was asleep those 8 hours and did not click anything, nor did I receive anything in my gift box from others.

the upgraded tools price usually is a upgrade price

just checked the 4x4 cost 45 farm cash

the 5x5 only cost 30 farm cash so that is a upgrade price

sounds fair to me

The people need to look in their extended tool bar. Were they doing that?

No, you do not understand. when I send out a request for "hire multiple" the person does not get the request at all! It never shows up to that person. If I hire that same person to just harvest it goes through just fine!

I've checked my Red Windmill and realize that Red Windmill 4 times faster. Does it equal to old Stone Windmill?

yes, the red went from 900 to 3600 and the stone went from 3600 to 14400

I love the new hire for multiple jobs..but I cannot seem to get it to work. Anyone else having issues?

Yes, I have the same problem. I was able to get one person (adam) hired multiple for a farm but could not get another one and had to hire the next person (fuzzy) for harvest. after fuzzy was hired and was on the same farm as adam that was hired multiple I tried to rehire fuzzy for multiple, and it sent the request to adam!!! it was strange and tried it several times with the same results each time. Very weird!!

I have not been able to use the "hire multiple" option. The workers tell me they do not receive a request. I click Hire Multiple then choose harvest and plow and then choose the farm. It says "sent hire request", but they never get it. I then have to hire them to old way and it works fine. I have cleared call cache and used different browsers. Any suggestions? I have seen several people say the same thing, but I can't seem to find any reponse.

I have the exact same problem.

The stone windmill used to take more wheat to fill up then the red one did but now that is not the case. The red used to take 2 hours/batch now it only takes 30 minutes/batch so the wheat requirement is the same for both windmills. What has also changed is the stone windmill will give you 15 bags of flour for 10 fields of wheat. The read windmill is still 10 wheat fields gives 5 bags of flour. So the stone windmill will let you plant less wheat then before.

where did you get this info from? when in the stone mill the help shows 2 wheat for one flour. I was a little upset that they changed the red mill to the same as the stone one. The only advantage that I saw for the stone is that they increased the total from 3600 to 14400. I hope you are correct

Have a question on them - since items that were previously "non-ingredients" that could be sold in the market with one click but can now be used in the new service facilities, do they still show up in the "non-ingredient" filter?

It works fine for me and my friends. Tested it out on friend and she harvested/plowed no problem and same for me.

What server are you on?

Double T... This is regarding my previous message that said the hire multiple doesn't work for me. I can send the request, but no one sees it. Just to be clear, there are many other people saying the same thing, so it's not just isolated to me.

I'm on WF7.

Thank you!

The analogy that it takes time to plow, to seed and to harvest in Farm Town have been there forever since its inception, as that is what those timer bars are for in all the plots in the field. I feel that those timers should be maintained.

However, the remaining tasks that are done after those three have seen big improvements, and I want to thank you all that work on the programming in Farm Town for those improvements and have indeed made this a fine game to play.

The game takes planning, keeping notes about the time of the day as to when things need to me done, to build a strategy and to follow that strategy. Those are very important things I feel in playing Farm Town, as one really needs to think and to balance ones time and workload in the game. Also the selection as to what one should seed or plant as flowers or trees also is an important task in the cost and benefit arena in the game with all the facilities that use them.

Thanks all for a very fine game. Keep it up, as I still think more expansion could be done.

No,they dont come up as non ingredients anymore,so u can still sell all non ingredients and retain the stuff for the service facilities :)

Only thing that makes no sense is why have the ice cream factory listed two times under facilities when buying? If all you do is right click and can change how it looks I brought the red one because I thought I didn't have it. Then I sold it after I found out I had it already.

Hi, the update is TERRIFFIC!!! Please confirm something for me:

When items are sent to the supermarket, movie, etc., the only other place they could have gone would have been to non-ingredients, had I not purchased these facilities. It is NOT like sugarcane, cotton, wheat, wool and corn, which can be used as is or in facilities. (That one took me aback until I caught on. Now it is challenge to balance; fun!)

Thanks and happy farming!!!

I solved my cheese issue by having multiple dairy facilities, now my issue is cinnamon.

Any chance that production can be bumped up on it?

IN THE BEGINNING THEY INDICATED THEY WOULD HARVEST IN 12 hrs. BUT THEY ENDED UP TO BE 2 DAYS. THIS WAS THE FIRST TREE TO CHOP.

BUT I JUST PLANTED MORE TREES.

Thanks for more wheat from the stone windmill. It was the first thing I ever bought with farm cash, BEFORE it was made a facility, because I loved the look of it.

There is most definitely a glitch with the sending of ingredients.

Yesterday I sent to a couple of friends when I saw the first requests.

Last night I tried to send more. It had been at least 6 hours since I had sent the first time. I have no idea if the other farmer got the ingredients, but I got a message telling me that the Mayor had not given me any because I had reached the limit of 250,000 coins worth of products in 3 hours. This was not the case.

I just now tried to send ingredients to a farmer again (it has been at least 12 hours since my last try) and again I got the same message.

Am I the only one having this problem?

Nope - I have it as well. I think it is being addressed. Such a great idea! (Except for the piling up of requests on my page. Any thoughts about restricting those?)

I love this update! And being able to accept any gift of ingredients from friends is my favorite addition to the game.

Add me to the list of people who would like cinnamon to increase production :). More units per 6 hours or units to be ready every hour or two would be great! It was a great factory when it first came out but now that more factories are producing things that need cinnamon at faster times (the cola being ready every two hours, for example) it would be great if production could be sped up like the bee farm :).

How do you figure that? It takes more wheat to fill up the stone windmill than it does the red one so how do you get by with a smaller wheat field?


my thoughts exactly. They just hold more total production, so youll have to plant 3 times as much wheat now in order to keep those mills maxed out. actually youll probably have to keep planting wheat non-stop now

InePine
Apr 09 2011, 01:34 PM
If you put in the same amount of wheat as you did before, you get three times as much flour.

You dont have to grow more wheat, you just get 3 times as much flour as you did before in the stone windmill.

Same amount of wheat = 3 times more flour.

Anyone have some other ways of saying it so it might stick in peoples brains? :P

I think there's a lot of confusion about the wheat / flour situation.

The Stone Windmill is purchased with farm cash. Do not confuse it with the Red Windmill which is purchased with coins. The Stone Windmill now produces 15 flour with only 10 wheat. Before the upgrade, it would have taken 30 wheat to produce 15 flour. So, that means if you want the same amount of flour as you used to produce, you can cut your wheat production by 2/3rds.

The other change was to the Red Windmill. It now produces faster, but it still uses a 2 wheat make 1 flour. So, you can get the flour faster and put more in to production, but it uses the same amount of wheat per unit of flour.

I hope that helps.

WE STILL HaVE TO KEEP PLANTING WHEAT. WE COULD HAVE 5 STONE WINDMILLS BUT WILL ONLY GET FLOUR IN ONE OR TWO BECAUSE WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH LEFT TO FILL OTHER WINDMILLS.

WHEAT, ONIONS, CORN, TOMATOES SHOULD BE ONLY 1 DAY PLANTING. TOO MANY FACILITIES USE THESE INGREDIENTS.

THANKS FOR THE NEW UPGRADES. ONE THING I DIDN'T SEE WAS FC$$ WE LEVELED UP. I WENT FROM 185 TO 210 BUT NO INCREASE IN FC AS WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD BEFORE.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL THE NEW THINGS.

I don't know if you own the stone windmill or not but here is a little fyi for everyone. This may also be where the confusion is coming from. If you own the stone windmill and open it to start a batch it says a batch will make 15 bags of flour. If you do not own the stone windmill and just click the question mark in the store it says it makes 5 bags of flour. Now what needs to happen is the developers need to change the question mark info so it is correct. The developers are busy people and like the rest of us either forget to do something or don't think about all the parts that need to be changed when making a game change.

If you had a stone windmill before the last update a full farm of 1024 wheat would start 102 batches that would give you 510 bags of flour. Now a full farm of wheat will still only start 102 batches of flour in the stone windmill but you will now get 1530 bags of flour for the same 1020 fields of wheat. That should let you plant wheat less often and still have enough flour.

To the developers of Farm Town.

For as complex as the game is getting, I am quite surprised by the small amount of problems the new updates have when they come out.

The job of getting all new additions can be no small job, and you are doing a very big job of getting them out near bug free,

While any problem will get people mad or irratated we should remember it is a bata game that is undergoing changes and improvements.

All I can say is very well done. :)

Now if I could only remember my complaint I would add it here. :confused:

Oh well it may come to me someday. :D

Thanks devs! Nice update, especially the new logging truck. I HATE logging an entire farm of trees and this tool will make it totally easy. I can't see buying the 5x5 harvester, though. 4x4 works so well with a 32x32 farm. Here is my gripe:
WHERE'S THE CHEESE????????????????????

finally solved my cheese issue by multiple dairy processing plants and loading them up, then posting for a few (reliable) friends to work the plants ... helps them get some cheese and they speed up the process for me. Now I have a surplus.

The main point here is in order to keep the windmills maxed on a daily basis, we need to plant more wheat then we ever did before.
The stone windmill was the fist facility offered and i bought it way back then.
I also have 5 red windmills, and for all 6 of them, its all i can do to keep them maxed out.
I have plenty of flour - - thats not the issue.
My only flour usage is 8 bakeries and i have about 35 million worth of flour in my storage. I just prefer to keep all my bldgs maxed out to the limit each day - especially now that they invented the ranking system that no one knows what is going to be used for yet.

not quite true. to fill up the stone mill completely it would take 9600 wheat harvests now. before to fill it up it would have taken 28800 wheat harvests! This is because the stone mill will produce 15 flour for 10 wheat harvests. It used to be 5 flour for 10 wheat harvests. So what this means is that now you will get the same production with 1/3rd less wheat.

How do you figure that? It takes more wheat to fill up the stone windmill than it does the red one so how do you get by with a smaller wheat field?

Because my goal isn't to fill the facilities and there are some products I don't produce anymore due to their low sell price (i.e. taco facility is dormant and I only do the supreme pizza...sometimes hawaiian pizza too). I'm producing more than enough wheat for my needs with the stone mill with just half a farm of wheat.

This is in reference to the giving of ingredients to neighbors and getting product as well. I understand that you can only give one set to the neighbor every 3 hours. The last time I gave anything was last night and still today it says that I've exceeded 250,000 coins in 3 hours. Someone's clock must be off since it's more than 12 hours since I gave anything. I hope this gets fixed or some guide is given so we know how it works -- without taking it away!

But I relate FT to life in the real world. Glitches are worked out, and I adjust to new concepts and make them work for me. I'm 59 years old, not 20, and have the life experience to know that I can't have everything I want NOW. It will come in time.

I will joyfully continue to play FT until the devs start taking out taxes on our profits!!

I have plenty of flour - - thats not the issue.
My only flour usage is 8 bakeries and i have about 35 million worth of flour in my storage. I just prefer to keep all my bldgs maxed out to the limit each day - especially now that they invented the ranking system that no one knows what is going to be used for yet.

Has the production for the red windmill been increased? I think it's producing/consuming faster than before. It's now at 5 per 30 minutes, isn't that what the stone windmill used to be? That's currently at 15 per 30 minutes. Could this help explain the consumption problem.

BTW - why bother to keep everything at the maximum, everyday? it seems like perpetually pushing a rock uphill on a daily basis only to have it roll down hill every night. My apologies to the Greeks...

I make a run at maxing things out and then take a break and build up for another run. In fact, I find it fun to empty out all my factories and get to a minimum steady state, just using the cash/fuel facilities.

Oh well, to each his own.

The main point here is in order to keep the windmills maxed on a daily basis, we need to plant more wheat then we ever did before.

I don't understand why if you have so much flour why you would use crop space to plant wheat and then keep producing it? I understand you want your facilities maxed out but why not just put them into storage if it is bothering you.

When the upgrade first came out I was to respond to the send ingredients request, but now I still get the message

"You have sent xxx enough ingredients to produce 8 x Cured Cod.
No ingredients were sent to your storage by the Mayor since you already reached the limit of 250,000 Coins worth of products every 3 hours."

It has been well over 3 hours.

Double T... This is regarding my previous message that said the hire multiple doesn't work for me. I can send the request, but no one sees it. Just to be clear, there are many other people saying the same thing, so it's not just isolated to me.

I see that the devs have been notified of the glitch with not getting anything when they respond to the ingredients requests, so that is awesome. But I haven't seen anyone saying they are not getting their ingredients that were sent to them. Not only am I getting the "You have reached your limit..." message, but I have not received any ingredients my friends send me either. I got them yesterday, but not today. Anyone know if both these issues are tied together? And are y'all getting your ingredients sent by friends?

Just curious :D

Once again, a feature that doesn't work on the Myspace version. Great game, but I will not spend anymore money on it untill the Myspace version get the attention it deserves! :mad::mad::mad:

Many players complain that they can't plow 3*3
I'm too, but I think the reason is: 'Hire to plow' don't need to check the number of neighbor. But it also disable the Acclaimed Neighbor trophy, which allow us to plow 9 fields without having 3*3 plower.

When 3*3 plower was introduced, I (and many players) don't need to buy it, because of having Acclaimed Neighbor trophy. So now we can't plow 9 fields, we check the storage and realize 3*3 plower disappear. Actually, we haven't bought it before! :D

It doesn't disappear, because it doesn't exist before this update release. :D

PS. I have just plower 4 fields, the result is unable to plow, too. So, I believe my predict is correct.
This bug related to devs remove neighbor check

Also; I hired my friend with the multipe choice (and i checked into both squares in there), but she was only able to harvest 1x1, so we gave up on it and did it the "old" way. She's having 4x4- harvester and 4x4-plower.
Is the multiple hiring only meant to be 1x1 ??

Ok, I guess we're kind of "slow", my friend and I!!!!
No problems, whatsoever, when we go to our own Tool-box and choose the tool for the work. Simply *love* the multihire-function!

I quit playing FT and played the Zinga game for awhile. Back to FT and love it, love it. So nice not to have pop ups every 10 seconds. Now to get my friends back so I get more much needed gifts.


I play both and Zynga is simply frustrationville times 100.

Anyways thanks for the new stuff and if there was any downside is that the plow option doesn't match the harvest tool when you buy it.:(

Maybe this can be looked into as I thought if you had the tool with the biggest option ( 4X4 or 3X3) you were able to plow at the same capacity.:)

AWESOME update! One question - I love the "get all the ingredients" thing. It seemed to be working fine yesterday but this morning, I tried clicking on some my neighbors had posted and got this message:

"No ingredients were sent to your storage by the Mayor since you already reached the limit of 250,000 Coins worth of products every 3 hours."

What does that mean? I know that was the first one I had clicked on this morning so I don't know what limit I could have reached. I MAY have already sent a batch of gifts to neighbors, I'm not sure. But even if I did, that didn't give me anything back. What did I do that triggered that message? It seemed like a really cool thing when it worked.

#10 above, if someone posts they need a complete set of ingredients to make, say, chocolate chip cookies, and I click to help them, does my storage amount of the ingredients get reduced by that amount sent to the asker? And I just get 50% in return, so am down ingredients wise to make the cookies myself? Why would I want to help them if I lose valuable ingredients myself and only get compensated with half the amount?

Apr 10 2011, 08:28 PM
Don't forget people that your FT friends can send you the ingredients at any time after you've posted, each time one of them send you something it gets added to the total you've received so it will go on for longer than 3 hours as long as they keep sending stuff. Delete your posts after awhile if you want to send/receive ingredients for a new product.
It just means you are a popular person with lots of friends :D

Love the updates. Noticed the same 2 glitches that everyone else has -
Hire multiple not working, currently only appears to actually send the request when going to a neighbor.
Requesting ingredients not working. Talked to some of my friends, when they "send" to me, they are being told that they get the ingredients, but only a couple have seen anything saying that they are sending me ingredients. And when I do get that couple (only managed to get 3) varying amounts are actually sent - even with refresh.
Good ideas though, can't wait til it works.

And thanks a million for both new levels and farm 9..... love this game so much, nohing else compares - my whole monthly entertainment budget goes to Farm Cash! :D

I am so tired of spending $$ on a new tool only to have it outdated! Why can't we get a cash trade in credit for an upgrade on that tool instead of having to pay full price.

It certainly takes the shine off it when they bring out an upgraded tool and charge us such a hefty farm cash price for it, with no offer of a trade in. I guess if we all weren't so gullible and bought it they would think twice. I for one haven't bought the latest 5x5 tool. :(

If you calculate it out 15 days x 24 hrs per day x .5 hrs (per batch)= 720 batches. 720 x 15 (flour per batch)= 10,800. It did not go up to 14400 after upgrade.

I am Confused?? I thought the Farm Town day was 20 hours? When is the 20 hour day used and when is the normal 24 hour day used and why do we need both in the game? or do we even have both? I've never actually calculated the hours in a Farm Town game day, just blindly taken others word for it :)

Don't think I will be purchasing them either. I have backed way off of FT for several reasons so buying new 5x5's seems a waste of resources. Too much FC for too little kick. IMHO the longer we keep buying these "amped up" tools for more FC the longer they are gong to be made available.

I only buy what I need. I know there are some people who HAVE to have the latest and greatest but thankfully I am not one of them. I didn't buy the 4x4's because I don't work other farms and I am quite happy with my 3x3. I have a whole farm full of trees but the ones that need cut are not in such huge blocks that I would need a different, larger chain saw, mine works fine. I feel that if you NEED them they are worth the price. I did HAVE to have the green boat and the fertilizer truck that does trees and flowers too but if they come out with another I doubt I would buy it, these work just fine for me. Of course if they come out with a crop duster plane that makes wheat grow in 12 hours then I will HAVE to buy that too :D

I would be happy if they come out with a crop duster plane that will makes crops grow twice as fast, either with or without being pigged on, I would be very glad to spend FC for it. It would be like getting 2 times the crops that you have planted. :eek:

Thanks developers, these new updates are wonderful...I was wondering though if you had these items in mind for future growth, or updates. I am sure I am not the only one that is in need of these upgrades:

FC ( Llama and Sheep that produce 10 times) like the Holsteins and hens

3 times production on Oil Pump ( or drilling rig facility ),

3 times production on Cinnamon bundle production in the cinnamon factory

3 times production in the sawmill, to produce more oak and pine lumber

I have all 9 of my farms with Cinnamon factories, oil pumps and sawmills and I still cant keep my facilities full.

Please let me know if you are planning on making these updates soon.

thanks for your response

Hi, Love the new hire multible feature but my avatar works to slow!!! if i harvest a farm and then plow i have to wait for my avatar to finish harvesting so that i can plow, really need to speed the little guy up!

You don't need to wait for your avatar.. just click "play" or just go to another farm and come back.. everything will be done!

The hire multiple means you can get hired or hire someone to do more than one job on a farm. You can hire to harvest and plow and fish and chop if you want.
I know it means you can hire for all these jobs but.. what tools can you use? Does it mean you can only use 1x1 when your a 4x4? My friend hired me last night to H & P using Multiple Hire and it wouldn't let her do it because there was nothing to plow. I have tried to hire people using it, they are 4x4's, and they revert to 1x1's and they harvested that way then couldn't find the plow lol Just clarify how to use this option and what tools we can use as all it says is "certain tools" TY

My "hire multiple" is not working either. I've tried all day, and when I send the request the other person isn't getting it. UGH ~ I had a lot of different jobs on the same farms today, and was soooo excited to not have to go back and forth from farm to farm rehiring the same person or hiring more people to do the same farm. I love this idea! Please help!

I tried that both ways, from the market and from my farm, however it didn't work either way.

It'll work if you are on someone's farm and they hire you there. If they hire you multiple then you're tools will be accessed from the green arrow in the yellow tool box. Are you sure they hired you multiple? Or just a regular job?

And it'll be for the FC tools but if you don't have them, then you'll use the 1x1 just as it is now when hired.

If you calculate it out 15 days x 24 hrs per day x .5 hrs (per batch)= 720 batches. 720 x 15 (flour per batch)= 10,800. It did not go up to 14400 after upgrade.

The first time that I filled the stone windmill after the upgrade it said there was 14400 flour pending. the most that I was ever able to get before the upgrade was 3600. I know what I saw and it was 14400! The next time that I filled up the stone windmill it max out at 10800. I know what I saw, maybe it was a glitch or something but it did say 14400!!!

I had a very interesting experience with the multiple hire option. I could not hire from the marketplace with the multiple hire option so I hired adam to harvest my farm, and then when he was in my farm I hired him with the hire multiple option and it worked. I then went to the market and hired fuzzy to harvest. when I was at my farm I then tried to hire fuzzy with the hire multiple option and every time I did the request went to adam. I did this several times since I thought I may have clicked the wrong person. Every time it sent the request to adam!!!

mods can you please clarify something

i have a sub account only on level 9

when i try to send neighbours ingredients from that account it only sends me the ingredients the requestor doesent get them

does that account need to be on level 30 before it can send ingredients?

also it saus i should get enough ingredients to make 2 batches of fuel tanks but in my gift box it says 1

just seems funny that i get the commission but the person who asked for it misses out.

I've looked for my problems..i have found most of them and know they are glitches that are being worked on.
One that i have not found yet:
according to this new update, i can post requests for supplies 3 times in 3 hours. So far, i have only been able to post 1 request every 3 hours.
I am happy to say that as of this morning, i am now receiving the supplies my neighbors send, not the full amt. but at least i am getting something. and as of today i am also finally getting the 50 percent when i send supplies. So, for the most part..i am a happy farmer.
here is my info in case it will be helpful:

I just looked at this and this is what is happening. You are asking for enough ingredients to make 8 benches. There are 2 benches in a batch so that is 4 batches. Now when you look in your gift box it says that you have ingredients for 4 benches what that is saying is you are getting enough ingredients to make 4 batches of benches so that gives you enough stuff to make 8 benches. Yes I can see how this is going to confuse people and needs to be changed. Now when you send someone something it will say you are sending enough to make 8 benches (4 batches of benches) but that is not clear when posting it and storing it.

:([Please see additional notes and fixes at the bottom of this post]

Hi There,

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

1. Easter Items: A few weeks ago we released Easter Items, including 8 new items. The mods have also prepared an Easter farm contest which will award the winner with 100 FC.

2. Tripled production in some facilities: This week the production of flour in the Stone Windmill has been tripled; 2 weeks ago we tripled the production in the Oil Refinery, Bee Farm and Fish Farming Plant.

3. Farm 9: Here are the prices in coins (FC prices remains the same):

12 x 12 Farm 9: 9000000
14 x 14 Upgrade: 6000000
16 x 16 Upgrade: 7000000
18 x 18 Upgrade: 8000000
20 x 20 Upgrade: 400000000
22 x 22 Upgrade: 500000000
24 x 24 Upgrade: 600000000

4. Log Truck with Chainsaw 8 x 8 (FC): If you already own the Log Truck with Chainsaw 8 x 4, then you can buy this new Log Truck with Chainsaw to chop trees twice as fast, up to 64 at a time.

5. 25 New Levels: Almost 60 new items all in coins.

6. Harvester 5 x 5 (FC): If you already own the harvester 4 x 4, then you can buy this new Harvester to harvest up to 25 fields at a time.

7. Hire Multiple: You can now use the 'Hire Multiple' option to hire the same person to do different jobs without re-hiring. People that gets hired this way will have full access to their extended tool box to switch between allowed tools.

In the near future you will be able to hire people to work on multiple or all farms without re-hiring.

8. Neighbours restriction in Hire to Plow removed: Everyone can now hire others to plow without any neighbour count requirement.

9. Service Facilities: These are a new type of facilities that will not produce any tangible goods but instead will allow you to make coins by providing a service. It works similar to the current facilities, the difference is that you don't start any production on them, but rather load them with products so they can provide a service.

You can check the "What's in Stock" tab and see what is still in stock, what has been used and to Cash Out the coins you have made for whatever have been used so far. You will make about 50% more profit by loading the products into the service facilities and then Cashing Out later, compared to just selling the products in the market.

Here is the list of the service facilities we just launched:

Supermarket (Coins): Provide retail services, can be stocked with:

Frozen Vegetables, Frozen Pizza, Apple Juice, Orange Juice, Vanilla Icecream, Strawberry Chocolate Bar, Oats and Corn Flakes, Granola


Beauty Salon (FC): Provice beauty services, can be stocked with:

Aloe Vera Gel, Mascara, Nail Polish, Foundation, Blush, Lipstick, Eau de Toilette, Perfume


Movie Theater (Coins): Provice movie services, can be stocked with:

Potato Chips, Nachos, Honey Popcorn, Hotdog Supreme, Lemon Soda, Cola, Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza


Banquet Hall (FC): Provice events services, can be stocked with:

Multicolor Roses Bouque, Doily, Candles, Porcelain Dish, Fruit Cocktail, Cheese Cake, Red Wine 4 years, Champagne 6 years

10. Request ingredients from friends: If you are at a level 30 or higher you can participate in this new ingredient sharing program. Each product in a facility have a new + sing added to the top right. If you click it you will be able to ask your friends for the COMPLETE set of ingredients required to make that product and you will be able to start at least 1 day worth of production for that product.

Also, when you help a friend by sending ingredients, the major will compensate you with 50% of the same set of ingredients.

You can post up to 3 times every 3 hours.

You can receive up to 250,000 coins worth of ingredients every 3 hours.

This should help you with the issues about some very demanded ingredients like cheese.

11. Fixed Inbox/Message System: There was a bug in the messaging system that sometimes made impossible for you to read your messages, this is now fixed. The new red message counter is always up to date.

Enjoy!

Thanks

--Raul


1.People without the Plowing Tools 1x2, 2x2 and 3x3 but with the Influential Neighbour Trophy were suddenly not able to use this tools anymore, this is now fixed.

2.The Text for the Red and Stone Windmills in the Store have been changed to reflect exactly what they produce and consume. They both produce at the same speed, 30 min.

3.Hiring Multiple option was not working for some users occasionally, this is now fixed.

4.There are additional texts on the Hire Multiple flow that clarifies that employee needs to use the Extended Tool Box to switch tools.

5.Request Ingredients fixes:

- The 250,000 coins worth of ingredients limit every 3 hour was broken, it is now fixed
- The limitation of posting only 3 times every 3 hours it's now correctly enforced
- More descriptive texts, the amount of batches is now included, apropiate destination is shown (Storage for sender, Gift Box for receiver)
- Ingredient distribution is now fixed, sender get's 50%

6.You'll make about 50% more profit by loading products into the service facilities compared to just selling the products in the market, but notice 50% of profits is not the same as 50% of the sell price. See the example below if you want to know more:

-The price of an Apple Box is 38 coins. If you Sell 5 Apple Boxes in the market you get 5 * 38 = 190 coins

-If instead you take those 5 Apple Boxes and start production of Apple Juice in the Juice Factory you will make 810 coins in profit, therefore you can sell all the Apple Juice for a total of 190 coins + 810 coins = 1000 coins

-If instead you load those Apple Juice Bottles into the Supermarket, you will be making an additional 405 coins in profit (50% of 810). So when you Cash Out in the Supermarket, you will be getting a total of 1000 coins + 405 coins = 1405 coins

7.Products that can be loaded into Service Facilities are currently removed from the Non-Ingredients' filter. We will soon be releasing more improvements for you to sell products faster in the market and also to dramatically increase the harvest storage space.



Pending:

Graphic Help System (when clicking the '?' symbol for the Stone Windmill item in the store) still reflects incorrect amounts.


I am still not able to use the multiple hiring tool more than one time. I have to completely reboot my computer. i have windows 7 and am using google, as it is the best for all my other games. please help.

i have the samed problem. And ones who work for me they harvvest but never plow.. I am assuming because their avatar is still working or they don't know how to get the plow tool

great jobl. When this gets working better, it will be great
am looking forward to hire 1 person to do all farms and everything on farm. I have neighbors who do all mine but i have to stick around to rhire them for other farms.

What good is it to hire someone to do multiple jobs (such as harvest and plow) if the avatar sits in the corner and does not take the harvested fields off the screen?
You can't plow the field and the lazy SOB isn't doing anything.

Granted this may be solved when you can hire for multiple farms as you can switch farms then go back to it but right now it is really maddening!

Thanks for everything else... BTW What are the chances you can take the warning message away when you are harvesting like you did when you are plowing? Thanks Scott

if you have trees or flowers or building layered ontop of your fields or have overlaped fields that is why it wont work

i have the same problem but tested it on my second farm that has no layering of any kind and it worked perfectly.

yes when the option is enabled to switch between farms that will fix it.

First, TY, TY, TY for the update...love, love, love the game.

My question has only been touched upon briefly in a few posts regarding the HIRE MULTIPLE option, and it appears that others, too, can not get their harvested fields to clear so they can plow. It doesn't seem to be only on the fields which have trees and flowers planted on them.

As it is, I am happy to not have to chase around an avatar to harvest, then to plow, then to chop, then to fish. Now I can just catch them and send the plow request when I see they are ready. One chase is better than 4 or 5!

I think there is a problem with the fix to the ask for ingredients. I posted something about 30 minutes ago it was 8 + hours between posts and I have not helped anyone during that time. I asked for ingredients for sandwiches which cost 1,200 coins a batch so with the 250,000 limit every 3 hours I should get 8.6 batches. Now I have had several friends send me the ingredients but I only got 3 of them. I think that there is a mixed up in the can only post 3 every 3 hours and the 250,000 limit the developers might want to look into that.

not complaining as i got it but it shows its still not completely fixed.

Isn't that where they are suppose to show up? I know I prefer it that way so I know for sure that I got them.

I love the hire multiple feature, but it stinks because when you harvest and then plow, you still have to wait for the avatar to finish working before you can plow behind yourself. Why don't things just finish when you click them instead of having to wait for the avatar to get to it? This is the same issue you have with harvesting large tree and flower jobs. You miss stuff because you just get that white line that blocks what you got and what you didn't.

Yesterday the game was right on and so enjoyable to play. Today is a whole new story with this new security system put into place by facebook. Everytime I try to go to Farmtown, the pop up asking if I would like to play the game on a non security setting, when I click it to access the game it just keeps on popping up even though that setting has been disabled so I can play it....the only way I got into my game was by excepting a gift and then clicking no i did no have anymore gifts to except which I do have many left. Once in the game, it is so slow and trying to get gifts out of my gift box is almost impossible. I cleared the cache and STILL is it as slow as ever. What happened to things overnight?

I love everything that's been improved so far, but the one thing that's irritating me the most is the location of the (yellow) "hand" on the extended toolbar. Because it's so close to the (green) arrow, I'm always hitting the hand when I actually want to hit the arrow. Is there any way to separate them a little more so that they're not so close together?

Also, since we are required to have the "size before" tool before we can purchase the newest upgraded tool (e.g., having the 4x4 harvester before we can buy the 5x5 harvester) - is there any way we could trade in (for coins or dollars or something) the older/smaller tools that (most of us) probably don't use anymore? I mean, the fact that we have them in our inventory proves that we're eligble for the upgraded tool, so being able to "trade it in" (just like we would when purchasing a newer vehicle in real life) would be way cool. Just a thought.

Like maybe trade in the old tool & get a 25% discount on the price of the new tool...?

I am so glad to see someone posting a positive comment and letting the rest of us know that the problem was resolved. I'm sure others have had their issues resolved, too, but sometimes we are quick to complain and whine, but never bother letting everyone know about positive outcomes. So, Thanks!!:)

I really don't understand the purpose of the theatre and super market. I have tons of stuff in both, but there's "no customer's"...very little ever moves over to the right side to cash out. Hopefully, there's a plan in mind to make these better.

I understand the entire notion of slashkey is make money, like any business, BUT...it's a little bit much to expect the players to keep upgrading FC tools. I'm satisfied with what I have b4 the last upgrade. The new fishing boat would be nice, but it would also be nice if those asking us to fish would use bait before hiring.

I recently bought the BEE FARM "thing"...it's not worth the expense. It's too slow to produce. I could write a book on what to buy, what not to buy for the game, but everyone has different likes and dislikes, regarding Farmtown.

Overall, I love your game and must say THANK YOU for developing this "thing" that has really helped me Pass (waste) alot of my time, when I really needed something to occupy my time at the present.

I'd still like to see a tobacco crop...tobacco factory...it would be a natural, but so would CHOCOLATE MILK. I always have an abundance of chocolate.

Thank you Raul for the good times!

I have added fish with bait only to my avatars name.

Bait has been out long enough for those who want fishing done to change some gifts into bait if they don't get bait as a gift.

If I am hired to fish and there is no bait, I leave without fishing, since my avatars name says it all.

Hi, Love the new hire multible feature but my avatar works to slow!!! if i harvest a farm and then plow i have to wait for my avatar to finish harvesting so that i can plow, really need to speed the little guy up!

I agree with Lee. I'm now turning down any job that's multiple, simply because of the time it takes for my avatar to walk field to field in order to finish harvesting, just so I can plow. There really needs to be instant on-screen harvesting, rather than waiting for the avatar to walk to it. Otherwise, the multiple hire feature isn't going to work very well. Otherwise, it's an excellent concept.

That is the whole point. Bait has been here to long and you get 100 a gift, chaneing some gifts should be no big thing. As long as they have bait I fish and if I use up the bait I finish the fishing. Just will not fish if there is no bait anymore.;)

Not that much slower. granted it would be nice if it was done all at once, but then where would be the challenge of having to figure out how to do the work and play the game the best one can. I love the game do to the fact it is always forcing me to think of what I want to do and figure a way on how to do it.

If it goes to a 1 click does all, it would be like nuking it. 1 nuke and the farms are all involved in a mushroom cloud. where is the fun in that.

Granted it does take time, some times more than 1 can or wants to give.

I filled my Stone Windmill first and it used up the 3000 + batch then I thought oh good I will have plenty left to fill the red one with the 5000 + batch. I was surprised when I ran out of wheat and it wasn't full yet. Go figure...
