New Release -- September 20th, 2011

[aughty]

have no problem with fuel. but bread is a problem (I have increased to 2 bakeries) and it would be nice if the bakery it self was a little larger. Copper is a non-starter, greatful for all the new products, but they use a lot of copper. Cheese, sugar, and lumber are great. Thanks for all the hard work....enjoying my weekend farming.

I hide the bakery under the larger buildings and would like to keep them as is.

[jcassemjr]

Here is what I have calculated I needed to maximize my Diversification Rank by maxing out the Utilization of every facility. I have a diversification rank of 16185, which I like to continue to increase.

I have:
11 Dairy Barns
11 Wool Sheds
11 Coops
11 Dairies
11 Sugar Refineries
5 Textile Mills
4 Wineries
4 Bakeries
5 Saw Mills
2 Oast Houses
6 mineral mines
8 Open-Pit Mines
2 Pasta Mills
3 Metal Mills
2 Rubber Factories

I post my facilities 2-3 times per week, so I need all of the extra facilities to boost the production utilization back to 100%. I do get a ton of extra products that I don't need for use in the other facilities, but when Farm 11 was released, I was able to go to the market to sell all of the ingredients of which I had extra to get the coins needed to by all of the farm upgrades.

With the fertilizer and sprinkler options, I haven't had any issues with being able to grow the necessary crops to keep everything full. In fact, there is not a single crop that I do not have at least 10K of the harvest in storage.

It really is about how you want to play the game. I'm not a decorator, although, I have been able to keep the placement of the facilities nice on roads or on the top left and right outside edges of the my crop areas. So I don't mind having the duplicates across the farms in place of the houses and non-functional buildings.

[QUOTE=Raul;4856606]See Known Issues and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Sep 25, 2:50PM EST.

Ok..since I can't find a place to post this and since the search was unhelpful, I am posting this here. Another problem with the red sprinkler is this: If I am going from farm to farm to work, and I have just watered the last farm....and I forget that I still have the red sprinkler in use....when I go to the next UNPLANTED farm, the minute I click in the farm, of course I water the farm. So then after I plant the farm....I am unable to rewater it for another 19 hours and that crop doubling is lost to me. I personally spend a lot of money on this game, and that sprinkler should not be a liability to me in any way. And yet..it is quite often a liability. There is no reason that this sprinkler should not water the WHOLE FARM for 19 hours and work the same way the manure spreader works. That way if I forget that I am carrying it from farm to farm, and I sprinkle the next farm inadvertently, it will not be a problem. Thank you for listening.

You're not alone there. I've done that once or twice :mad: and kicked myself thoroughly for it. I try to remember to click it off before changing farms, but sometimes I'm in a hurry and forget to.

Agreed, a set up the same as the manure spreader would work really well.

I agree too. The manure and water sprinkling should be used as equals, in fact it would be better if you combine the two. This will save us all some time with these steps.

[CSLewis]

Thanks for increasing so many of the products. I was able to go through my farms and get rid of half my multiple facilities like the textile, sawmill, metal mill, and rubber factories. I still need 2 of each but that is better then 4 or 5. I do think a few things were missed.

Sugar was increased but not nearly enough. Sugar is the ONLY item I ever run out of. I would love to see a sugar refinery like the flour one that is FC that produces as much sugar as the wheat production. Before the upgrade on the Stone Windmill I ran out of flour constantly, now I have over 53,000 in storage.

Prosciutto - This needs to be increased. I have 2 smokehouses and still it isn't enough. I always post for help with the Italian sandwich and sometimes I get enough, sometimes not, especially if I need other items.

Air Freshener Factory - We were told the potpourri would be taken out of one and replaced with the car air freshener. But it wasn't. The potpourri and scented candles are used in 2 service facilities but the reed diffuser and incense sticks are not used in anything. A little better balance would be nice. An increase would be nice too. I was going to get another to help stock up but it is a FC facility and last update I spent 177 FC so can NOT spend more.

I have all the factories. I wrote them down as I filled them last time. There are still currently 20 factories that do not have a fill all button. Figuring on the past, there will be 3 more tools needed to have a fill all button on all of them. That will be another 105 FC. Then we have to worry as new factories are added whether those will be included or not. Then if we get a start all button at the top then that will be another 45 FC. I understand the need to make money, to pay bills, etc. But to milk those people who PUT you in business is BAD BUSINESS. And yes I understand I don't have to buy everything yadda yadda yadda, but as many have said to get the full playability and enjoyment out of the game you need those things that cost a fortune.

Lastly, I agree with the several posts I have seen with being able to mark off certain products from being filled with the fill all button. I have multiples of the dairy, soda, and bakery to keep up with what is needed with cheese, bread, and farmade. So to utilize the fill all button I paid for I end up filling things I don't need.

I love this game and will continue playing, I just wish we weren't being nickel and dimed to death and that when a new factory is introduced someone would take the time and do some basic math to make sure what is needed/produced is logical with existing factories or make the changes so that it adds up correctly.

[Sandy Mae]

I really like all of the new changes that we have received. But being me and being VERY dyslexic with numbers most of what is on you lists do not help me in trying to figure out what is needed to make certain things.I have resorted to having mines on all farms. And I guess I will need more fishing areas on all farms too. Still having trouble because we need a ton of trees. Is there some way we can use the red sprinkler on the trees that get chopped so we can get double with them. I am now getting used to the new growing times for all the crops. I just have too many trees!! I know more complaining. On the whole I am very happy with my farms!!!! Thanks to the devs. !!!!

[servocrow]

Thanks for increase in items; I hadn't worked my facilities in a few days and just noticed.

:D

[sylvialmartel]

can anyone tell me if there is a document with the trees in it needed now, the height and harvest time, as i would really like to get my trees in order, and i haven't been able to locate anything on it. thanks in advance for any help with this .

yes i agree with others, we need way to many trees to produce the amount of products, and to have to wait for days to harvest them, the sprinkler should also work on them as well.

I would love to have a decorative farm, but to keep up, there is no room, for pretty, so my farms are all workable farms

last but not least...i would love to have a rainbow (real looking) to add to my farm, would be a nice addition to a sprinkled farm :)

thanks for all that you all do, you are the greatest.

I have a little bit of an orchard on Molly's Farm 10. When I made it I laid out one of each tree that we use, and put them in height order so that I could place them in a way that I liked. It's not packed tight with trees because I like 'pretty' :o but that was the way I decided on height and size of trees. It won't get me a gazillion trees for my facilities, but I love my orchard.

[PowerUnit]

Love most of the production increases: sugar, tectiles, metals, and quartz. Next time you do it, please consider juices, oils, cinnamon, and product truck.

Thumbs up!

[Debosophy]

Great update. I always go into the shop to see what the new facilities are and I've already caught up :D

I'll keep on asking till it happens, but can we bump up the storage of farm animals in stables etc? I have 300 odd sheep that could do with better housing!

Agreed.... it would be great to be able to store more animals.

Guess we might have to corner a dev and threaten him/her .... you know, be a wooly bully!!

[gtosgal]

OMG, I stand corrected. I DID forget that it was producing only one barrel per batch. Geesh... last time I fueled up, I had 5.5 million units of gas, now that we have been doubled, I should receive 11.0 million units the next time I refuel. But that is okay, should be soon, cause I only have 4.5 million left now. Hope my gas gauge doesn't break. LMAO

You can sell half that fuel >>>> just saying

I would love an improvement for the production of cheese. Right now I have 9 dairy processing plants and still don't even come close to having enough cheese for all my restaurants. Couldn't we please pick up production, or maybe have just a "Cheese" plant?? That goes faster.

It takes around 6500 cheese to max out all the stuff with cheese. You say you have 9 dairy processing plants but never have enough cheese. A maxed out dairy plant will give you 1080 cheese so 9 will give you 9720 cheeses. You should have enough cheese to fill your facilities every time you fill them, if you only have one of each. I would suggest that you sell some of the duplicate facilities and that should solve your cheese problem.

[earlgray]

The new faster scrolling in the storage window is really nice. Please update the scrolling in the marketplace, store, and any other place where there is scrolling to be like this. Thanks!

Have you computed how many semis you'd have to own to have enough chicken and meat to max out facilities? Just curious. Of course it's a little bit different than with the cheese, since your neighbors can help you make cheese, but not chicken.

Thanks for the reply! I have only one truck now, and was wondering how many more I might need. Since I don't have all the facilities, and only post once or twice a week these days, maybe I can get by with just one or two more!

If they are all in storage you can look in storage and filter it to tools and it will show just your tools, other then that there is no easy way to see what you have.

I just emptied my fish farming plant - I'm noticing that the saltwater bait is not adding properly to my count of bait. Anyone else notice this?

Also I read somewhere in this thread that someone mentions about a gas station where we sell our fuel. That's a great idea. Neighbors can click on the gas station and purchase what fuel they need - we just put in a certain amount and sell it to them for double the cost like the real gas stations. LOL :)

[Sue Bee Doo]

I love seeing which farms are fertilized. Now I would love to be able to see without going to the farm which farms are watered.

[rocker grrrrrl]

Last time I fueled up I got over 4 million tanks of gas lol! It has been months and I still have over 2m left.


LOL I have over 4 mil left from my last fill up (filled up a couple of months ago with about 6.8 mil) and I checked this morning just for the heck of it, and I now have over 8 mil and counting for my next fill up. I bet I can get it to 10 mil before my next fill up, and hopefully ride on that for almost a year?? :)

I crack up when I see someone who has something like 15 mil... wow!!!

1 crude oil makes 12 fuel tanks

1 fuel tank gives you 300 units of fuel

12 fuel tanks x 300 = 3600 units of fuel

It takes 60 barrels of crude oil to max out the oil refinery.

60x12x300= 216000 units of fuel

At that rate it is less then 5 fillings of the refinery to make a million units of fuel. The last time I refuled was months ago and I got I think 3.5 million units I have just over 1 million left. I only load my facilities 3 times a week not everyday and I max out most things every time. The only things I don't max out are things like fuel and tomato sauce stuff that you make way more then you need. I max out the petrochemical plant every time I load the facilities and I have 5732 petrochemical barrels in storage. If you just watch what your really need and do not try to keep the facilities maxed out 100% of the time it is easy to let some things build up in storage to where you will not have a problem with that item.


I am sure I don't have a problem with fuel, a few months ago when they released the update that everybody loss fuel and they gave some of us extra fuel when I filled up I had over 5 million units of gas and haven't had to refill since, but it is getting close to time that I will... but I my issue is even with the new increases and I have waited a few times to verify this but with 11 pumps going and only working facilities every other day, I can max out the refinery to 100% no problem but it will only get the Petrochemical Plant to about 72% and that is with working my neighbors facilities and collecting barrels from them. So if we could up the production of the petrochemical barrels that would sure help this.
My other issues are being able to produce enough Wool from Sheep and llamas. Milk from Cows, and eggs from Hens. I have animal barns on 10 farms loaded to the max and then some. I have saved one farm from putting any facilities or animal barns on. Only thing like that I have on it is an oil pump cause it can hide easily. :)
We're getting there but still need some adjustments made.

Hi If you need additional Petrochemical barrels one way is to request a item like turpentine or plastic granules from your neighbors this will add additional petrochemical barrels to your storage. :)

[psycho_mommi]

Great update. Thank you for increasing the items you have increased it will help out a lot. Can you please think about increasing the amount of shrimp we get from the fish farming plant and canned tuna from the food preserve. We need way more shrimp then the other stuff from the fish farming plant so having more then one for just shrimp is not worth the fc. On the canned tuna it takes 3 loads from the food preserve to max out the sandwich shop that is just crazy in my opinion. Please think about helping us out a little bit.


also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE think about increasing the gift amounts on the factory consumable items, such as tomatoes, potatoes, etrc, etc???? at least bring them all up to 100 per gift?? i use so many tomatoes and flour that i can't ever max out any factories, and that's with growing AND gifting!!! pleaseplease pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzz??????? :D:D:D

GREAT UPDATE, THO, AND THANK YOU MUCH!!! :D:D:D

[youngmeme]

I would be MORE obsessed, compulsive if we could get more levels, quicker with updates. We get some nice updates and extras. I come to farmtown every day to see if we have leveled. I know we need/want the upgrades, but games people play I think look forward to leveling. Tool for the flower shop may be okay but I would like some shorter grow times. I have never maxed out my flower shop and I have one farm that is nothing but flowers.

[Isisfordia]

thanks, some of the improvements are great and it good to see some times of products are not quicker....like flour production. However the time it takes to grow wheat does not marks it difficult to keep the mills producing fast enough. And 6 hours for a barrel of oil is still too long, as is the time taken to produce fuel and ethanol. The refinery is a bottle neck.

And I hate farm cash!

[DawgMa]

I'm good with most of the changes that were made in the upgrade, especially the mineral mine. It is WONDERFUL to have what I need to fill my facilities.

However, something did change drastically. I noted the increased production of fuel tanks; nice touch! :) My problem stems from the petrochemical barrels.

Before the upgrade, I had three products in the petrochemical plant that I kept at maximum production. Following the upgrade, I did not have enough barrels to top off even one of those products. I don't know what happened, but it did. I wasn't keeping track of my inventory because there seemed to be plenty, but all of a sudden I'm down to zero with no warning.

If I posted this message in the wrong thread, I sorry. Wasn't sure exactly where to post. Use IE8, on WF5 (that's new too; it was WF40).

Any ideas?

Hi 2 of the products in the Petrochemical Factory had there production increased however the increased production did not require any additional petrochemical barrells to produce the extra production.

for example before the increase was implemented it took 1 Petrochemical barrell to make a batch of 50 Turpentine

Now after the increase was implemented the batch size is 65 it still only takes 1 Petrochemical barrell to make the 65 so no extra strain should occure on the petro barrells

anouther example the oil pump used to be a batch or 1 crude oil barrell costing 1000 coins for the batch of 1 now the production was doubled to a batch of 2 but the batch still only costs 1000 coins so effectivly the cost per barrell has halved. (shame real fuel costs dont halve lol)

hope i have helped :)

well ... the increased production is a plus, but since it doesn't use any extra petro barrels I don't think that's the answer. I have 1600+ crude oil barrels and the refinery is at max.

I have another account on facebook where I also have farmtown. That account has 2 oil refineries, both at maximum production with 63 barrels of crude in inventory, and has all 5 products in the petrochemical facility maxed out, with 438 barrels of petro left in inventory. Both accounts have three oil wells.

I'm not a mathematician so you might want to double check it. The refinery should produce 84 barrels of petro each week (3 barrels @ 6 hrs = 12/day x 7 = 84). It seems each one of the products in the petro facility needs 28 barrels a week (1 barrel @ 6 hrs = 4/day x 7 = 28), which would be just right to keep 3 products at maximum production. Something appears to have happened to the production ratio of my petrochemical plant during the upgrade. I'm short about 30 barrels of petro. Don't know if it was in my storage or in the facility.

Does anyone have another explanation? Since I did the math now, should I post it in another thread?

[Docperk]

I see a few people on fb saying that slashkey is moving farmtown over to google+ and will have to start from scratch again ??

I wouldn't want it to MOVE but I would like to see it over there too. I would sure have to recruit a bunch of my current neighbors and friends over there, and finding at least 30 people willing to start over might be a difficult challenge. :)

i think more interactive farms between playwers would be great - our own markets where we can add stuff to the market which we want sold, and neighbours can pop on over and buy when they are on.. if FT is looking for a new gimmick, i beleive this is it!!

[maggiel29]

Ive just noticed that the Car Air Freshener has been added to the Towmart. Was this part of the last release that I missed or has it just changed?

The Pot Pourri is still in that and the Hotel though and the Scented candles that and the Banqueting hall. Also wish they would have Cola, the Strawberry/chocolate ice lollies and Farmerade in fewer places.

Since the new release I cannot use any of my farm tools other than by hand. The harvester, plower, shaker, and chainsaw/log truck do not work. I have plenty of fuel and yes they are in storage, clearing cache does not work. Thanks.

I need my flowers and crops harvested and thee is no one there. the are in the sales room the inn or the realator I am the only one there.

Are you off-line? What is your language set to?
You can tell if you are off-line by looking at the plug shaped icon up top. If it is red you are not connected to the server.
You can check your language by going to either the map or to your preferences (wrench up top).

Hi Ensure that your connection plug up the top right of the game screen is green if it is red it mean you are in offline mode and you will be invisable to other people as they will be to you.

Hope this helps :)

I would be MORE obsessed, compulsive if we could get more levels, quicker with updates. We get some nice updates and extras. I come to farmtown every day to see if we have leveled. I know we need/want the upgrades, but games people play I think look forward to leveling. Tool for the flower shop may be okay but I would like some shorter grow times. I have never maxed out my flower shop and I have one farm that is nothing but flowers.

Me, too!! :)

[iam2anangel]

Yes...I'm hoping they come out with some Halloween items soon!!

[susie41]

Thank you so much for giving us the flower harvester and tree harvester for coins. They make things so much easier and faster and I can't afford the fc yet, still working on that. I have a lot of coins and whatever you can give us to help us out is greatly appreaciated. I've been playing the game from almost the beginning and it is still my favorite. You think about things to help us out instead of wanting just farm cash. You also don't put things on there that we have to build. Farmville is the best and I just wanted to thank you, any problems we have are shortly fixed so thank you for that too. Your developers are the best!

[phsl]

I agree with all the thanks and the great suggestions mentioned by others. Love it all! Just would like to add one more thing to increase and that is crab. I already bought another seacoast and it is still not enough.
Is there a reason why the store all does not store the barns, sheds, etc.?
Love it all!

Something screwy is going on with the belt levels. I had 1608 to go to get to the 4th belt on my beets. I harvested 6000+ beets and barely made it to the fourth level. I also noticed that my artichokes and beans are not adding up right. Porobably doing the same with others also. Is anybody else haveing these problems? My maple trees are not adding up either. Also the animation is not working with the red sprinkler.

For belts you only count the original plot. Fertilizer additional and previous belt bonus do not count for that. So if you have 1000 plots planted on a farm and they are fertilized (+ 1000) and you get an additional amount for 3rd dan belt (520) it will still only count as 1000 toward the next belt even though you get 2520 for the planting.

I like the changes to the storage window. It's such a relief not to have to adjust the alignment every couple of pages. Please do apply it to the other windows.

I have been struggling something awful in FT ever since the release prior to September 20th. When that update took place, my screen started jumping all over the place every time I would try to work on anything (harvesting, planting, fishing, etc). It has not corrected though I have sent several messages regarding this problem.

I have been playing this game almost since inception and LOVE it! I don't even play any of the other games anymore because they simply do not compare and the live interaction with friends is a benefit I refuse to live without.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am so tired of chasing my screen around while I try to work.

Thanks for all you do devs! (((hugs)))

Hi

at the top right of your game screen there is your preferences button it looks like the wrench check in the preferences that the following is unticked "Follow Avatar while working or walking" if it is ticked untick it and click green tick :)

hopefully this sorts your problem out :)

seems to me that there were a few improvements made today in the system, first in harvesting the animals, and I don't remember the others, but thanks for the speed improvements at doing things in general.

hi

we are trying to help you as best as the forum team can if I assume you are going to the "account" tab at the top of the game window and on preferences you are deleting the old name and typing in your desired name and ensuring that you click "Change" after typing in your new desired name it should show up "Account Updated"

then after reloading your new name should appear.

have you tried updating it on anouther computer (if you only own 1 computer) maybe try using a friends or a internet cafe.

also could try a different browser like firefox or google chrome

I just changed mine and it worked successfully.

Hope this helps

Did everything exactly as you told me to. it changes as it usually does but when i go out or close farmtown down and go back my name is back to Pat I tried it on 3 different computers Ihave tried it on EI, Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. I have emptied all my caches macromedia files everything I can think of and it always goes back to Pat I never put that name to b used. I t all started the day ft went down to do that fb update when ft came back my name was changed to pat and i had never used pat on farmtown. go figure i did send a note to the developers but no reply. that is y i have said it seems like nobody seems to care. a couple of moderators went on my site when i was changing the name all the time and said it was not pat but slimpat 5x5 combine all tools do not know if it shows up now that way or not but friends and neighbors say it is just pat.

Thank you I hope this helps you to help me I have thought of deleating farmtown and redoing it but I would hate to have to start all over again cuse I have spent lots of money as I have been a member since early to mid 2009 also do not know how to do that anyway.

you could try blocking farm town and then un blocking it that may work.

blocking farmtown does not reset your farm it will remain the same the only thing you need to do is accept any outstanding gifts as you will lose those if you dont accept them.

then unblock farmtown and try changing your name again.

If deleting and reloading Farm Town doesn't help Pat, I would suggest you contact support and see if they can fix it. I would suggest you tell them everything you have done so they don't have you doing the same things over.

will do the only thing is I do not know how to deleat then reload my farm could you please tell me how to do it thanks

Hi create a post say from your facilities

then go to your profile and top right there will be a privacy button just above the post.

select remove farmtown

then go to your facebook privacy settings and down the bottom is manage blocking and then remove farmtown from the blocked apps or easier still click on the post you created earlier and it will take you back to farmtown.

The bar is not moving because you are at level 260(?) which is the top level. Your experience total number keeps going up and when they add more levels you will jump to the level for the amount of experience you have.

Just hope when they add more levels that they require at least 100,000 XP points to level up. 150,00 would be better give us something to strive for.

Is anyone else having problems with running out of things? I am running out of things, like milk, and pine trees...and I have not run out of them for ages. In fact I have recently cut back one dairy and one sawmill, which should ADD to my total of logs and milk for a facility...not cause me to run out. I went out and got quite a few more cows and trees yesterday, as well as choosing milk for gifts...and now I am out again...and of other things too. I had gotten to the point that I did not depend on gifts except for salt, and was producing enough to fill my facilities the way I wanted. I am not sure what is going on....I know that something is not right about the amounts I am getting put in storage...but without days of work, it would be hard to prove it.

I clear my caches daily and everything is updated....I guess I am just frustrated. With over 6 billion in coin, I don't even sell things except once every couple weeks....what good is the money? There is nothing left to buy...and if I cannot even fill my facilities...I am wondering why play? Then the problem with my flowers which no one has even commented on. I could go on, but those are enough examples.

Sorry to sound negative...I love this game, and I am sure I will keep playing, but you can only redecorate so many times. I am so amazed at the developers, they are so good at making this game work right! And the customer service group has been truly quick to handle my probs...so I have nothing to complain about with slashkey. Just some times the little stuff is irritating. and makes play frustratinig

[Raine Logan]

my wish-list for the next update is:

shelf stocker for the client service facilities (they take ages to load and they're so boring i don't bother)

fill all for the rest of the facs ... over waiting for tools to fill all these facs.

4 more farms ... or at least 2 more farms to be able to keep up with all the products/ produce needed to keep all the facs filled once a week?

I hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary about running out of things that I wouldn't normally run out of, but I haven't been paying that close attention for a while now. At this point I'm just harvesting what crops I had already planted and then I'll be taking a break from FT for a while, or until there's a new release that actually brings us something new (and no, I don't mean just new facilities or new farms). Unless there are some significant changes to game play, I'm afraid I think I've run my course with the game. It was a fun 2+ years, and I've certainly spent many hours here, and some real cash, but I think it's time to step back for a while.

In the newer facilities, we are using many more staples from our stock. I had the same issue, then did the calculations, and found that I wasn't generating enough from the production chain, which caused me to add additional lower lever facilities in the production chain, and then the need for more of the goods that fill the lower level facilities.

[maggiel29]

I can't figure out how to post, but attempting again. lol I can't harvest my horse barn from the facility manager. Does anyone know what is wrong? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

I cant harvest from my new larger horse stable either - I think the Devs DO know about this - it happened when the alternative larger stable was released - I assume you ARE talking about the larger stable not the old smaller version?
You could try this:
take all the horses out, put the stable in storage, bring it back out and put the horses back.
However - that didnt work for me.

I may be misunderstanding what you already did, but, to change your name - not the farm's name - you have to go to the FT Account tab and change it there.
Account --> Preferences --> change the name and then click 'Change'
Make sure to delete what is shown there completely before you put the new (old) name there...
you might also be safer to just change it to Slimpat Combine.... don't use too many letters/characters.

I hope you get this solved! ♥

[susme48]

Jerry...had done those calculations already, with all of the facilities....I do it each time we get new ones. I wait to see what their affect would be on things before I put a dairy and sawmill into storage...from my math, that would mean more milk and logs in storage, since it would take less to fill the remaining facilities. I ran along with a surplus of everything, until Thursday...and then ran out of milk...and later logs. Bought more cows and planted more trees, and got a ton of gifts of milk to finish up with. Harvested all my cows twice before loading on Friday, and still ran out of both again...just does not make sense to me. Most of the newer facilities use products from the other facilities...not base products....that is why I am confused and frustrated. I understand how to balance what I make against what I need...and usually am able to fill everything I need at 100% except for a couple service facilities that are at 95%; I don't fill a few of them to 100% with products I don't use and are not needed in the service facilities...don't see the point.

A good example is that I have 120,000 in surplus cheese...that is after having just filled everything up. Now tomorrow, if I restocked and ran out of cheese, I would be amazed...since it has been over 7 months since I did...that is why I had so many dairies.
Anyway....I do not like having to wait 2 days to fill up, the whole plan behind fine-tuning my farms, and working on my neighbors was to be able to have enough to fill up every day.

sometimes it's a good thing to step away for awhile ... I go to extremes (but not as bad as some) and have a spreadsheet that shows me an EXACT number of ingredients or items needed per day for each facility so it takes the guesswork out of wondering how much I need. But when things get to be too much like "work", I back off and just harvest barns or don't play at all for awhile. No point doing it when it's not fun any more.

You've got company - I actually get more satisfaction from working on my spreadsheet than I get from farming. In the game all of the facilities are becoming tedious - even with the tools to work them faster. However - those same tedious FT facilities are quite a challenge for me to work into my spreadsheet and streamline it. Too bad FT won't let us share macro enabled spreadsheets. I do wish they (the devs) would make the stats available to everyone in one of the forums. Knowing what quantities it takes to fill each facility and how many of each item are needed from belt to belt are a few things that I would like to know.

[krypto]

Just hope when they add more levels that they require at least 100,000 XP points to level up. 150,00 would be better give us something to strive for.
Fritz

Agreed with drastically increasing the XP needed between the upper levels. I remember how hard I had to work to earn XP to reach the top level 34 not alll that long ago. I could get 33,000 XP every two hours now (if only I could find the formula to turn raspberries into farmcash) :rolleyes:

[Hornyroo]

hmm sniff sniff... can i smell an update in the wind? best on one in the next 3 hours... well ok hell, probably not, cant blame a girl for trying

not surprised I'm not the only one charting things as I've seen some pretty extensive sheets from other people. Mine is very basic ... and I DO know what quantity it take to fill each facility daily and for the 15 days ... took the time to chart it (for my facilities) and that's the info I use to put on another sheet of the worksheet for knowing what to grow. I keep accurate inventory when I'm not loading facilities, use it as a guideline when I am ... still tells me what I need to plant next. No macros, just simple math calculations.

the part about knowing what's needed belt to belt is another matter and I'm with you on that too ... would be nice to know those things ahead of time.

as for the tedious part of the facilities, tools etc ... on my last revamp, I sold all my service facilities (don't like them, won't buy more, don't need the extra coins they produce) ... and put facilities in storage that don't have to do with food (with few exceptions). For me, it's made things more simple and if we get Farm #12, I'll put those non-food facilities back out, maybe. In the meantime, my farm duties are simplified so I can truly enjoy the time when I'm playing farmer. I love it ... doesn't feel like a "job" ... I have control, it's not controlling my life, so I really enjoy it. Right now I'm just in a "growing" mode ... h/p crops and build my reserves. Gotta love the game for allowing us to do our own thing.

[jcassemjr]

Jerry...had done those calculations already, with all of the facilities....I do it each time we get new ones. I wait to see what their affect would be on things before I put a dairy and sawmill into storage...from my math, that would mean more milk and logs in storage, since it would take less to fill the remaining facilities. I ran along with a surplus of everything, until Thursday...and then ran out of milk...and later logs. Bought more cows and planted more trees, and got a ton of gifts of milk to finish up with. Harvested all my cows twice before loading on Friday, and still ran out of both again...just does not make sense to me. Most of the newer facilities use products from the other facilities...not base products....that is why I am confused and frustrated. I understand how to balance what I make against what I need...and usually am able to fill everything I need at 100% except for a couple service facilities that are at 95%; I don't fill a few of them to 100% with products I don't use and are not needed in the service facilities...don't see the point.

A good example is that I have 120,000 in surplus cheese...that is after having just filled everything up. Now tomorrow, if I restocked and ran out of cheese, I would be amazed...since it has been over 7 months since I did...that is why I had so many dairies.
Anyway....I do not like having to wait 2 days to fill up, the whole plan behind fine-tuning my farms, and working on my neighbors was to be able to have enough to fill up every day.

So, you are not getting enough Milk & Pine, not the products from facilities? Since they sped up the production of pine, doesn't it take more pine to produce or did they just double the yield? Are you posting you facilities to be worked? I've not had this problem with the source goods, but I have a dairy barn on every farm with 100 regular cows and about 10 of the other cows in each, and don't have this issue. I also have 512 Pine Trees on my Chopping Farm. I haven't had issues with any of the base products since they released the super sheep. I have a dairy on every farm, and have not issues keeping it stocked. I have 5 lumber mills, and no issues there either. So I guess I can't help. :o

Did you sell some of the base stock by chance? Check the check mark boxes when you go to sell, if you every use the sell all button outside of the non-ingredient option.

ps ... I've come to LOVE the Red Sprinkler too. It's great trying to plan my next few crops around "over night" time and daytime when I might need to cut the harvest time in half. Like a puzzle working it all in around the 20 hrs, cut to 10 and then using the 8 & 12 hr crops to fill in, etc. Great fun!!!

I think that goes for many of us. I use a spreadsheet as well, and find that I couldn't manage my farms with out it!

I only worry about the belts, when I don't need any goods planted for the production chain. I focus on my Diversity Rating, since I am anticipating that something is going to come from it in the next few upgrades... Really looking forward to how they are going to use it, and what benefit it is to us. Hopefully, it's not just more coins or higher yields.. I have to much in storage already...

I actually like the service facilities, it adds a nice little complexity to the mix. On the last two, it was the challenge of how quickly I could get them to 100% utilization. And, the extra coins is just helping to build up the reserves for quickly purchasing Farm 12....

Right now I'm just in a "growing" mode ... h/p crops and build my reserves. Gotta love the game for allowing us to do our own thing.

Absolutely, it's the best thing about this game. We all get to choose how we want to play!

[jcassemjr]

Wish some how we could get just a cheese producing factory. The only thing that I run out of now. I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv Farm Town.

How many Dairy Processing Plants do you have? I have one on each farm, and never have issues with cheese. You just need to make sure you have enough cows to keep it stocked.

[bigmama1965]

Are we doing Halloween decorations this year? It's getting pretty late, cause Christmas is right around the corner.

Seriously DEVS, Halloween is only 22 days away and the current contest this month in the forum is Halloween/Autumn. Sure would be nice to have some new Halloween stuff or at the very least access to the old stuff.

Yes I do like the service facilities too. I have gotten into the habit of not even taken my crops to market in between updates. That way if the start using something that is not currently in use I will have plenty in stock. The service facilities do help pay for the next farm. Since the last update my service facilites have netted me about 1.6 Billion coins. On the last release after it was out I went and sold my non ingredients for another Billion so that almost paid for the upgrade all the way.... The farm upgrade is probably another update or 2 away but I will be ready even if it does cost 4 or 5 billion coins, thanks to service facilites... :)

[cindymartindale1955]

Great update. Thank you for increasing the items you have increased it will help out a lot. Can you please think about increasing the amount of shrimp we get from the fish farming plant and canned tuna from the food preserve. We need way more shrimp then the other stuff from the fish farming plant so having more then one for just shrimp is not worth the fc. On the canned tuna it takes 3 loads from the food preserve to max out the sandwich shop that is just crazy in my opinion. Please think about helping us out a little bit.


Definitely agree with the shrimp and tuna increase request. I have four or five food preserve factories just trying to get enough tuna! Can more tuna be added to the river/lake/seashore catches, too? That would be great!

Thanks developers for everything you do for us! We really do appreciate you.:)

[NanaSpeaks]

I'm having the same issues. I've added nothing to require more sugar, grapes, pine logs and milk but since the last update continue to run out. Not sure what changed but something did. I've also heard from other farmers who are having the same shortages.

[casper57]

not surprised I'm not the only one charting things as I've seen some pretty extensive sheets from other people. Mine is very basic ... and I DO know what quantity it take to fill each facility daily and for the 15 days ...

If all of the facilities were 15 days it wouldn't be an issue - but some are 7 (so far the ones requiring coins to buy the ingredients).

I use macros to show a pic of the crop for each farm and for the red sprinkler - a red sprinkler shows when irrigation is available - and rain when it is in use on a given farm. Using the pics allows me to see what is happening where quickly on one sheet. I also track the highest usage crops along with my storage quantities to decide what to plant next.

cool idea about the use of macros

my spreadsheet for the facilities doesn't include the 7 day ones anyway because no crops are needed for them (like you said, they're the coins ones). My sheet is strictly to tell me what crops and quantities are needed to keep facilities at capacity.

I should clarify my comment about not "liking" the service facilities. I don't have anything against them, or other facilities ... I just chose to eliminate or cut down the amount of facilities in general because having so many was making me feel like my time wasn't my own ... I had too many crops to plant in order to keep all those facilities going and I felt like the game was running my life because of it. In my life, I prefer simplicity. I chose to simplify my farms, and thus my time spent on FT is less, but it's so much more enjoyable. Since my last revamp I decided to be very selective about buying facilities. I used to buy several at every update and then try to figure how they worked in with the rest. Now I decide if it fits into my overall plan first. Whoo hoo, it's only taken over a year to get a plan - LOL.

Besides ... what's the end-result of the game? I hope it's different for each of us. What's the point where you "win"? To me I hope it doesn't get to that point. Am sure the developers have a totally different idea of what "winning" will mean with the game. I enjoy crop selections, keeping my spreadsheet, taking inventory occasionally and harvesting trees, animals, fish when I feel like doing that. I only fill facilities when I have all the ingredients to last several cycles even with friends and neighbors working them, which sometimes turns 15 day supply into one or two days. And, of course, I look forward to the new "things" on updates. Sometimes when I need a break, I go to my home office, open a farm ... enlarge it and enjoy the details of buildings and items the developers have worked so hard to provide us. Escape at its best. Thanks again.

They have increased the canned tuna and shrimp output go back and read the first post again at the bottom it list all the things they increased a few days after the update and a few days after the post of mine you are quoting.

anyone else having trouble posting the bonus for the belts?? haven't been able to send one out since yesterday AM.................not one.............it pops up never let's it finish loading so i can send it......

Nana, I think you might be one of the few who understood what I meant, since it is happening to you as well. I was kind of curious as to whether it was happening to others.
I get the spreadsheet ideas...tho' mine are much more simplified...and lots is just notes on paper. However, since I had not been running out of items, in almost a year....it seemed odd to run out all of a sudden. And it was just for a day or two, and then back to normal. My best guess, is that it was all the server jumping that happened last week (at least for me) and during those few days, I also had some trouble saving, lags in the game, and other glitches. I assume my supplies either did not get recorded, or disappeared then.
Things are back to normal, as yesterday I was able to fill up almost 3 times without touching my reserves...and bought more service facilities for the excess of products. I agree that it is fun to play the way we want to...and I am so addicted...lol.
It would be nice to have more interesting stuff to buy with coins, even if they were not facilities or tools...figuring I will be at over 8.5 billion by or before the next update...nice to have something to spend it on, that mattered.
I love all of these updates, but the newness wore off fast...lol...the only thing I would change, if I had the ability to...is the output of potpourri...even buying two air freshener facilities has not been enough to keep one towmart and the hotel filled.

[brendagbm]

Thanks for the changes, they are great. Yesterday I bough a Bed and Breakfast and a Gourmet Restaurant and it's not syncing with the items I have in Storage. I closed FB and reloaded and restarted my computer - any other suggestions?

I also have one suggestion, please make the type darker and larger in the section where you click on the Question Mark and it tells you everything it takes to make X or Y - it's just too light to see. Great Feature though!

Hi have you check ed that you have all the required ingredients to produce each item in the gourmet restaurant & the items stocked by the bed and breakfast in storage?

as 1 missing ingredient will stop you being able to produce a item

[brendagbm]

Thanks for the updates and for all your work on FT.
I am experiencing an issue with the Gourmet Restaurant and Luxury Hotel that I purchased yesterday - they are not connecting with the items in my Storage. I've rebooted my computer, and that did not help.

I also have a suggestion, the type needs to be much darker and bolder in the section where you click on the Question Mark to see what items you need to make something.

Thanks!

[brendagbm]

Yes I have = and on some I do have all the ingredients and it's still not working.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i do have everything I need, it's just not reading what's in my storage.

[brendagbm]

Taz, those facilities are not reading what is in my storage so that I can access my storage to make items in those facilities. Sorry i was not clear on that.

[Taz D]

Thanks for the suggestion, but i do have everything I need, it's just not reading what's in my storage.
Give us an example of what you can't produce that you know you have everything for.

hi when you try to start a item what message are you getting?

when trying to start a item are you trying 1 product at a time or the start all button?

It's been three weeks since the last update. A new one with halloween decorations would be nice.

I'm trying to think what they might come up with! A crypt would be cool! :D

yeah, the number of posts is down as if no one has a purpose to come here for now...

and that is no joke (cuz it would be deleted unless it was on topic)

(do we have a topic?)

:cool:

[jcassemjr]

I don't think that the players have interest, I think it is that there was so many of our needs met in this update, the new additions (facilities and service facilities) were simple to master, and since it has only been 21 days since the last update.

I do agree it would be nice to have the Halloween decorations released. I'm not a decorator, but I would like some new items to send out as gifts to my neighbors that do decorate.

[kahra01]

I might have more luck posting in here.. non relevant area of course!! I have tried getting new players, enticing them with the almighty FC offer. That should be easy right? nah.. despite them never having played before and they are new to my list.. it says there are no players that qualify. Clearly a bug. I did have success getting one request through but when she came in to do everything.. no FC pop ups came. No biggie, although not impressed. Tried again with someone else and she is now my neighbour and low and behold.. she clicks on the link on my page to come and do a facility run and it wont give her the pop up to start the run.. clicks into the facility and no work can be done. Ya know what.. this is what I expected to happen a few years ago.. NOT with the game today. There are now 2 players that quit because they think its totally ridiculous programming! I never really complain about anything on here but this has been 2 days of frustration for something that should be really straight forward... sorry guys.. not impressed! :mad:

[pythonis]

i learned awhile back you have to send them the offer BEFORE you send the neighbor offer. if they accept your n-request before the other it wont work.

Oh, ummm love the update! Go update (keepin it on topic) its your birthday!

[kahra01]

lol yeah I did send them before I added them as neighbours... I gave up and had to add them as neighbours.. still to no avail in getting them to work the facs.. grrrr lol

lol i can do without more birthdays hahaha ;)

I am waiting for farm 12 and some more facilities. I started this game (the first and only one I have ever played and ever will play) last year in July. I have almost 30 million XP, over 11 billion coins, over 350 facilities, my last fuel fill up gave me over 11 million units. I am bored to tears and the only thing that keeps me going is my competitiveness. I am so bored that I don't even want to go through all my usual shenanigans to make XP or coins. Farm 12 makes the little farms icon look even, that's the reason I keep going, lol.

[bucknine]

I posted earlier that I did not htink that things were adding up. I just harvested all of my animal products. Before harvesting I had 940 Sheep wool. After harvesting I had 940 sheep wool. I have 10 wool sheds completely filled. Something is NOT adding up right. Just sayin! There is NO since in harvesting or doing anything if we are not going to get the rewards. Somebody better take a look and make sure the code is right.

I would like more incentives -- I can't get rewards from neighbors with the 12 hr window for rewards & posting requests :(
Every update for more levels, I'm at the top level again that day. Sure it jumps 25 levels, but I think I've earned enough to jump 50 levels by that time.
I really love this game and I'm not board, but would like to be rewarded more for being at the top level. Thank you for all the work that the devs put into the game. It's really the best one!
I hope I made some sense here :)

I started FT in June last yr ... don't have as many XP, coins or facilities as you and the last time I filled up with fuel I got about 9 million gallons. Farm 12 (and more seeds) would be great but there's NO WAY I'm bored. Actually sold some of the previously-purchased service facilities and stored some other facilities (for Farm 12). Revamped farms, settled on an overall "plan" and now I'm focusing on obtaining ALL my seed Dan degrees. For me there's always something to do. New objectives. And now I'm pleased that less is more ... less time working "for" my farms, more time enjoying them.

For newer players, there's still a lot of incentives. But for us that are at the top level, we need incentives, too. I'm not bored either, but would like more rewards for top players.

Hi everyone :)

Many thanks for all your feedback on the recent new release, but as this thread has now wandered completely off topic, I'm closing it now.

Please feel free to post any further comments/complaints in the feedback section of the forum, problems in the Help section, and jokes and chit-chat in the Social area.

Thanks again.
