See Known Issues and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Oct 28, 12:10AM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. Halloween Items (coins): Most items were released a few days ago. Today we released a new Halloween Gate.

2. Workbenches (FC): This tool allows you to Start All productions for a product with one click on any facility that uses workbenches: Sewing Mill, Knitting and Knotting Factory, Shoe Factory, Jewelry Factory, Cookware Factory, Furniture Factory, Sawmill, Toy Factory and Musical Instruments Factory.

3. Join and get Joined by other online farmers: When you click a neighbour picture in the Neighbour Bar at the bottom of the game (or the double-green-man in the Buddy Window which replaced the green circle) you will see 2 new menu options:

a) Join 'User': Sends a message to 'User' asking for its permission, if user accepts, you will navigate to where that user is located.

b) Ask 'User' to Join You: Sends a message to 'User' asking if he/she wants to Join You. If user accepts he/she will navigate to where you are located.

These options work in every place, you or the other user can be anywhere, including farms, marketplace, realtor or inn.

Notice the online status (The double-green-man) in the Buddy Window is pretty accurate but the online status in the Neighbour Bar (green circle) is not, it's only updated when the game loads and on some specific occasions during the game. So if you are sure a user is online you can still send that user a Join Request even if he/she appears offline in the neighbour bar (without the green circle).

4. Item Storage Slots Increased by 50%: For each neighbour you have you now get 15 slots instead of 10 in your item storage.

5. Orange Mobile Sprinkler (FC): If you already own the Red Sprinkler you can buy this Orange Sprinkler to double the growing speed of your flowers, trees and crops at the same time. This tool will replace your Red Sprinkler.

6. Market and Facility Window Performance Improvements: The Market and Facility Windows should now open immediately even if you have lot of different types of products and facilities in them. Scrolling and Selling Products in the Market is also much faster now.

7. Facility Improvements: Tomato Sauce and Ketchup now require half the amount of tomatoes as before. The Mixer tool can now be used in the Pool Bar. The Packaging Machine can now be used in the Natural Remedy Shop.

8. Mobile Utility Carts (FC): This tool allows you to Start All productions for a product with one click on any facility that uses mobile utility carts: Sports Accessories Factory, Flower Shop, Office-School Supply Factory, Home Supply Factory, Farming Tools Factory, Gardening Tools Factory, Fishing Accesories Factory, Animal Accesories Factory and Medical Supplies Factory.

9. More value to facility tools by selecting what to start: If you own any of the 10 facility tools, you will now see checkboxes in the top left corner of each product. When you click the Start All button in the top right only selected products will be started. This works the same way in the Facility Manager. By default all products are selected which is the same behavior as before.

10. Gifting System Improvements: The gifting/invite system now use the new invite/friend selector windows provided by Facebook. Most of the time when sending gifts it will be a 2 step process instead of 3, first pick the gift then pick the friends and send the gift in the same window.

But The most important enhancement is that now there is a new 'My Requests' tab to the right of the 'Play' tab which includes a counter with the amount of Farmtown requests (gifts, neighbour requests, etc) you have pending in facebook. There you will be able to accept those requests, exchange gifts and send gifts back all within the same page.

This only works for new gifts and requests, you have to continue using the old method for the old gifts you already had in facebook.

Also, if you prefer, you can continue using the old method to accept the new requests, but the new flow is much faster.

11. Belts for Fish (coming early next week): Earn belts for each type of fish so you can increase your chances of getting more fish with each catch.

12. Minigames: We have moved the old trophy icon to the extended tool box and we placed in its place a white dice icon for you to play farmtown minigames. They will be all very simple farm-related minigames that you can play alone or in multiplayer mode with other users in your farm.

At some point you will be able to earn farmtown coins, ingredients and more while playing those minigames.

The First minigame is named 'Round Ups'. The multiplayer support will be added in a few days.

13. New Okra Crop: Used in the 2 new restaurants

14. Vegetarian Restaurant (Coins): Produces Vegetarian Food. You can produce Tofu in the Food Preserve Factory.

Grilled Mushrooms
Mushroom-Lentils Burger
High Protein Salad
Steamed Vegetables
Tropical Fruit Salad
Ratatouille
Chocolate Mousse

15. BBQ Restaurant (FC): Produces BBQ Food. You can produce BBQ Sauce in the Smokehouse.

Corn on the Cob
Corn Dog
Fried Okra
Pulled Pork Sandwich
Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
Beef Brisket and Slaw
Back Ribs and Beans
Fried Catfish and Slaw

16. Fishing Tackle Shop (Coins): This is a Service Facility that can be stocked with the products below:

Seawater Bait
Freshwater Bait
Rubber Boots
Hook Set
Creel
Chair
Float
Lobster Trap
Lure
Gaff
Fly Rod

17. Mini Mall (FC): This is a Service Facility that can be stocked with the products below:

Sneakers
Clogs
Dress Shoes
High Heels
Rabbit Fur Slippers
Body Wash
EAU de Toilette
Cologne
EAU de Parfum
Perfume
T-Shirt
Shirt
Overall
Tie Set

18. Bug Fixes:

- The Waste time for Crops and Flowers is now calculated correctly
- When moving frozen flowers they don't show up fully grown anymore
- X25 errors minimized considerably when moving animals to and from their buildings
- Sometimes when placing animals on farm too quickly some of them would end up in the same position in the farm one behind the other, in those cases, if Later on you move any of those animals to another place in the farm or to the storage, some of the animals were lost. This is now fixed.

Farm 12 and new levels coming on the next release.

(All manufacturing facilities are now covered by tools)

Thanks

--Raul

Post Release Fixes - Oct 18, 6:20PM EST:

-When you are sending gifts to friends there is a new tab at the end named 'Facebook Friend Lists'. In that section the friend selector dropdown will show you all your friend lists so you can easily filter your friends. Also, we will automatically add 2 lists at the end named 'My Helpers' and 'My Neighbours'. My Helpers will contain all the friends that help you or work for you regularly, these are the same friends that appear at the very bottom of the game, this way it's easy for you to reward them.

-Exchanging a gift for an animal gift was having issues in the Chrome browser, this is now fixed

- Checkbox selections in the market and facility windows for items like Bucket & Hose, Milking Station, Rhubarb Pie, etc now works as expected, their state is now maintained

- All animals can now be added again to their buildings

- In the Buddy windows you will see now the double-green-man when a user is online, clicking on that icon will gives you options to join that user

- MySpace send gift page is now fixed

Post Release Fixes - Oct 21, 4:30PM EST:

-FIXED: When you accept a gift from facebook you land in the old gift confirmation page, if on that page you send a gift back to a friend then that gift will not appear on the 'My Request' page

-FIXED: Scrolling issues in Facility Manager

-Mouse over info tooltip in facility products now showing again

-Bait can now be loaded into the Fishing Tackle Shop

-The filter options when you send gifts to friends have changed, now you will have:

All Friends: When the friend selector window shows up, you can use these filters inside the window: All Friends, Farmtown Players and Friends to Invite.

Farmtown Farmer Lists: When the friend selector window shows up, you can use these filters inside the window: My Neighbours and Farmers Helping Me (this last filter are the same users appearing at the very bottom of the game).

Facebook Friend Lists: Due to a facebook limitation we had to provide an alternative solution for you to use all your facebook friend lists. When you click this option a drop down will appear with all your facebook friend lists, when you select your desired list the friend selector window will show up.

Post Release Fixes - Oct 26, 11:10PM EST:

-When you worked at your neighbour's Fishing Tackle Shop you were getting the baits into your storage and this was causing issues when loading your own fishing tackle shops with baits, from now on, all baits will always end up in their corresponding bait counters, not in the storage. To check for available baits just mouse over as usual over water items in your farm.

-Accessing the checkbox in facility products to make selections was very difficult in some instances, this is now corrected.

Post Release Fixes - Oct 28, 12:10AM EST:

Practice mode of the Round Ups minigame is live. Multiplayer support will be added in 1 - 2 weeks.

Known Issues - Oct 21, 4:30PM EST:

Thanks for the update. I'm excited that we have a new crop. The mini games were suggested in the forums. Thanks for listening! I hope they add a little excitement to the game, and attract some players back.

With the new "Orange Sprinkler" does it work like the red sprinkler, or are we able to use it every time we plant? The description was a little vague.

On the fish belts, are the fish we are catching now, and the belts we already earned counting toward the "coming early next week"? Or are we getting reset?

Thanks for the update....
PLEASE consider adding ALL buttons to the service facilities next release. you really need only two items. a 24foot bobtail truck brown with tommy lift for dry items, non food items. like ups lol , and a 24 foot reefer bobtail truck say green or red for for food items, both frozen, chilled, and dry food items. all service facilities can then accept these deliveries on the all button. Some would have one button, some would require both types of deliveries like the sport arena, both, food and non food trucks.


Mouseover lost in fac mgr due to the new check box, not sure why that would happen. It is so nice to use the mouseover in the sow and seed windows as well, but the mouseover was nice to check storage before starting up new products for those of use that pick and choose what to produce. If we can get it back, it will aid in using the check mark.

Love the update, but where do we get the tofu from to make the chocolate mousse?????

**Dont know if anyone has noticed or not and wanted to say**

While in facility manager and Your filling them the thing where it says how many you have in storage(Hovering over item to fill) is missing, Ive refreshed several times,cleared everything and heard someone else mention it too...I know its a problem cause i KNOW they wouldnt take that away, Just wanted to let Raul and team know..******..

Awesome. Thanks Raul and Devs! Can't wait to play mini-games!

Oct 15 2011, 02:55 AM
Was hoping that we might be able to use coins to play the mini games and perhaps win small amounts of FC as prizes. This would be more enticing to those of us who have both an excess of coins and ingredients already.

I would have liked the opportunity to win an extra few FC after the levels upgrades to purchase new tools or facilites that cost more than the 25FC we make when we max our levels out. Paying coins for a chance to win 1 or 2 FC would be worth my time.

Winning coins and ingredients isn't going to be motivation for me to play these mini games, but I will enjoy the rest of this new upgrade, and look forward to more levels and farm 12 on the next one :)

Well you sneaked in just now while I was feeding my little Westie his breakfast! (It must be the middle of the night for you!)

Oh and a Veggie restaurant - thank-you : )

Oh dear just noticed this! Was getting to depend on that ability to check my stock before loading up! But I DO like the tick box to select what to start production on. I couldnt use the start all button on the fish farm for example as I wont need any bait for eons.
Is there some way you can fix it so we can sell excess bait?

And also just noticed we cant make TOFU - no box in the Food Preserve Factory - cleared my cache and reloaded.

It is slower if you are clicking on the bar and dragging it down but if you just click on the arrow it will move one row of facilities up one spot, like the storage does since the last update. I like the change it will make it easier to move down the facility list, four clicks and the next 8 facilities are on the screen and ready to load.

love the check boxes for the products, really making those facility tools the one click tools they are supposed to be. One thing I would like though is if the facilities were independant of others of the same type. For example, I have multiple mineral mines and in a few I don't start production of the gold, silver and diamonds because I don't currently need as much of those. However, if I uncheck them in one mineral mine they become unchecked in all

Lavenda
Oct 15 2011, 04:11 AM
oh and with the new scroll bar in the Facility Manager, I just click on the black section and in scrolls down a screen-full, or 4 rows at a time, if that makes sense.

yes i agree dough got excited for a second

guess they will all remain ticked

its like the tick boxes in storage that enabled you to select items to sell but you couldent just select 1 size it selected all large regular and gift.

Why change something that works well for such a lousy new system. It was murder finding the people i send gifts to since i had them all sorted out into an easy to find Farm Town selection. You can't add notes to the gifts anymore. Change it back.
Lots of problems lately Slashkey. Captcha for forgotten passwords dosn't work. Earn Farm Cash for inviting Friends to play dosn't work. Unanswered email compliants about faults. Have you started to hire ex Farmville staff. Farm Town is a good game, don't ruin it.

... update is promising as finally new implements are added: the farm related mini-games.
Finally finally a new direction! Not the big change but at least a small step.

Another thing the devollpers listened was the that we now can decide when clicking on the start all buttom which selected products will be produced. Very very good.

orange sprinkler doesn`t really make sence, would have been better to add the "load all factories"-tool, which really should come soon.

After all because of the fact that at least some mini-ideas were added to the game now beside the ordinary boring stuff, I think I keep on playing a little an wait if other bigger inventions will be implemented. This should be done soon devellopers, very soon. Don`t stuck where you now are, but add new ideas of the potential of the mini games: add farmhouses which can be filled with furniture (like the style of this CSI-game from ubi soft), add new goals and little quests for the high level players and of course do this quickly and re-launch this games zynga did it with its Mafia Wars 2 to attract new players. 1,2 mio are a thread and you should be allerted. Make more changes soon before it is to late!

i agree - bring the "mouseover" in the factories - some people rely on that to know if need more of a certain product and nothing of another - i rely on it and if i fill all items i would end up selling some of them anyway because have to many and not use much of them

Thanks loving the update BUT i am really annoyed about you replacing tools we have already bought with farmcash as in the mobile sprinkler not all our farms have flowers and trees on them and sometimes i do not want to double the growth time unless i wanna waste time using the watercan and why should i ?when i have already paid out 85 farmcash to do this now you want me to buy another and this is out of order cause if i just wanna use my original sprinkler on my flowers and not my neighbours(cause thats all its good for) then i should be able too :)

Terrible!
Where are LEVELS, LEVELS, LEVELS??!!
We NEED levels!
I have over 2.5 million XP over the max for level 260 and I wasn't at 260 when that level became available. I maxed out at the last level update very fast and am FAR above that level in XP but those XP are useless!!! When will they be worth something?
Give us 100 or more new levels ASAP.
This is what we need, not new features.
Fed up with frivolous changes when we need FUNDAMENTAL changes.
Can't buy things unless we can level up and you won't let us level up so the new features are totally wasted!
PLEASE - LEVELS!!!!!!!!!

yes in the items section of the storage the filter needs to be set to all or tools

if it is not there a moderator will need to check your farm data to locate it.

only trying to help you.

Hi Devs, thanks for the update. As usual, you supply a mixture. Have to admit, I am taking my time to purchase this time as can get boring very quickly.
I do agree that whilst the new facilities are great and exciting for a while, they are not really what the game needs.. we do need the incentive to keep playing and after sitting at the top end of the XP for over 12 months, I am finding it tough going.. even started Farmtown One Stop Shop group to keep myself occupied... so yeah it has been said before and I have no doubt will be said again, we desperately need you guys to be way ahead of us in levels before anything much else is upgraded...
have to say though that the tool to help with facility loading is great!!! as is the ease of use we are finding now... cheers and regardless, thank you for the best game on the net...

One thing I would like though is if the facilities were independant of others of the same type. For example, I have multiple mineral mines and in a few I don't start production of the gold, silver and diamonds because I don't currently need as much of those. However, if I uncheck them in one mineral mine they become unchecked in all

I like this too.... now the dairy plants can work for me without delay (or accumulating a million butter... hehehe)

but, wouldn'tyaknow... we know have more uses for the excess butter

Love the new upgrades, saving up for the facility belt and the workbench one! I know it is annoying, when we're on the top level and can't earn more farm cash, but at least new levels with the new upgrade. I still enjoy the game very much indeed :)

I would love to see the facility manager on the dashboard :)

i am curious is there really oak (wood) in BBQ Sauce as to make bbq sauce in ft you need oak log pile

sounds like you could get splinters from this sauce lol



Oh al... don't be so saucy. Try it, you wood like it.

excellent changes the only big disappointment is the animal facilities stil dont tell if they are ready or not in the facilities window. i have gotten discouraged of even using them. it takes way longer to respond than the other facilities do when trying to collect from them, and then you wait and wait just to learn there are no animals ready at this time. better to just collect the milk and eggs as gifts and forget the barns.

Hey guys, when I went to the tools store to buy the workbench, I also noticed a Mobile Utility Cart (FC). I had not seen that tool before and had not seen it mentioned in this release (Unless I just missed it)? It says it can be used in:

Sports Accessories
Flower Shop
Office School Supply Factory
Home Supply Factory
Farming Tools Factory
Gardening Tools Factory
Fishing Accessories Factory
Animal Accessories Factory
Medical Accessories Factory

Not sure if this is a glitch with the new way of sending gifts, but I can no longer access my farmer lists. I had mine divided into 13 groups but cannot find them now. Is this temporary? If I click on Farmer Friends it says "you have too many." so for now, I can't send any gifts.

Yes please! Same with trucks! I don't order all the same things in every truck, some items I only need one truck full others I need from all 4 of my trucks. :) Please change this so that once set up it stays for each individual facility not all. So far I'm loving everything else, even splurged and bought 5 new tools :)

I am from Georgia USA so I am an expert on fine BBQ! REAL BBQ is pit fired over hardwood, NOT cooked in an electric oven. If you have not tasted this delicacy....well I feel bad for ya. Come to Georgia sometime and try our BBQ. You will never want to leave! Kudos to the developers, who must clearly have tasted good Southern BBQ.

Thank you for the new release...lots of goodies. I am disappointed that my brown sprinkler was not returned. I will not buy the orange one because losing the brown sprinkler has caused enough extra work without compounding the problem further.

I bought the brown sprinkler so I could water a whole farm of flowers in one click. Please, if you don't intend to return the brown sprinkler to the tool box, at least replace the blue sprinkler with the brown one for those of us who paid real cash for Farm Cash to buy this item. For those of us who planted flowers in quantity for the flower shop, this is a real time issue. Neighbors are busy too, and not watering flowers regularly. If flowers wither before I am ready to water/speed a crop I am either wasting 45 minutes trying to water with the little blue can, begging for help, or delaying harvest. I am busy and missing an opportunity to harvest, may mean I don't get to do it for days because crops have to be done first.

With trees and crops with multiple maturity times and then flowers, it seems like a lot of work to try to use the sprinklers without being able to water the crops (as advertised originally) instead of the farm.

I believe the fish belts the other day werent meant to be released and the bonus qty's seemed very low so i think that was a unintended thing that thay were showing up the other day im sure you will have to fish more then 1 pond to reach the 6th dan.

Sad that I can't access my Farm Town friends for giving gifts :(
I have a lot of neighbors, but only a regular few that give gifts and at least once a day I would send these 28 gifts. Facebook cut the number back once and had a lot of us upset, I don't know what the cut off number is now. However this change is giving me a run for my money.

1. for the fish belts, when i hover over a fish, it does not give me the info bubble like the other belts

2. the orange sprinkler, i may not be fully understanding how these sprinklers work. but on 1 farm, i harvested and watered my flowers yesterday, cutting the harvest time in half....today, i hovered over the orange sprinkler and it did not tell me any hours, so i watered the farm, under the impression that it would cut the harvest time left on my trees in half. will it only cut the harvest time in half right after a harvest? or should it have cut the harvest time on my trees at least in half when i watered them today? there was 6 hours left on the trees, and no harvest time was cut

My husband has tried to move a pigsty and bunny hutch from one farm to another. He took all the animals out and moved the facilities. He moved the animals to the farms, and placed the facilities where he wanted them on the farms. The game won't let him move the animals back into the facility. He is is registered as farmingfool45. Oh, and he tells me his chickens are now lost, too.

I don't know if this is specific to my computer or not, but I am having extreme difficulties if I want to exchange a gift using the new 'my requests' bar. I've clicked on the item I wanted in exchange multiple times, scrolled down to see if there is an accept button I'm supposed to be pressing or anything else I'm supposed to do to accept the exchanged gift, and I'm just not seeing it.

Other than that little nitpick, great update devs! Excited for Farm 12!

It is slower if you are clicking on the bar and dragging it down but if you just click on the arrow it will move one row of facilities up one spot, like the storage does since the last update. I like the change it will make it easier to move down the facility list, four clicks and the next 8 facilities are on the screen and ready to load.

I'm finding that the slide bar has a mind of it's own. I move it up, but when I click on a facility the slide bar moves back down. Perhaps this needs to be looked at.
Absolutely love the updates. Thank you!!

If i remember correctly from when the red sprinkler was introduced the harvest cut will work after you harvest them next.
the time cut is 50% of the remaining time left to harvest so if a apple tree has 6hrs left till grown and you irrrigate it will reduce the time to 3 hrs.

Weeeeelll, updates are getting kind of predictable (and boring?)..4 new facilities - 2 of them for cash and more cash tools.
The new sprinkler will be a NO for me..just spent 50 cash on the red one and I don't have trees (and flowers) to harvest on each farm, but plenty of trees in storage.

Would love to see something being done with the baby calves, peacocks and so on ..from a long time ago.

That being said, I am looking forward to the mini games..just hoping it's not some of the "I'mgonnahavetoclutterupthenewsfeed" things. :eek:

Al, I am smart enough to do that! What I bought was an orange sprinkler, and FT charged 50 FC, not 45, and sold me a second red sprinkler, not an orange one! Don't want or need a second red sprinkler! And storage is not "Tools" it's "Items". If you are going to moderate, pls know the game....

A little nasty one would think.. just sayin! But anyways.. we appreciate the help you always try to provide Al and hope you continue to do so! :)

Since I don't have time to go through all the posts to find out if someone posted this, I'm confused, I haven't used it yet, however my trees already show that they have been watered so that means when I use it later to irrigate my stuff, it's not going to cut those times in half, that's not fair if I haven't used it yet.

This is my biggest issue with the red sprinkler. It shouldn't matter if another player has watered my farm. I should be able to use the red sprinkler to cut the grow times even if it doesn't increase the watering. Because it works this way people working your farm (and they DON'T have to be neighbors or friends!) have a direct impact on your play and you have no control of it.

If that's the case I feel like I wasted fc in order to irrigate my trees, but I will use it to irrigate my farms and will find out if it changes the times of my trees that will have been harvested today.

Where are LEVELS, LEVELS, LEVELS??!!
We NEED levels!
I have over 2.5 million XP over the max for level 260 and I wasn't at 260 when that level became available. I maxed out at the last level update very fast and am FAR above that level in XP but those XP are useless!!! When will they be worth something?
Give us 100 or more new levels ASAP.
This is what we need, not new features.
Fed up with frivolous changes when we need FUNDAMENTAL changes.
Can't buy things unless we can level up and you won't let us level up so the new features are totally wasted!
PLEASE - LEVELS!!!!!!!!!

Kudos to the developers, who must clearly have tasted good Southern BBQ.

They are really knowledgeable, it seems, or at least care very much about researching what they're doing. I was impressed about the ingredients for the Premium Cat food...it has no grains in it, and this is exactly the type of food one of my cats MUST eat as she has a grain allergy. :)

Agreed. This is the only thing I don't like about the update. Only certain neighbors want gifts and it used to be very easy because I created a list which could be used when sending gifts. Now I have to sort through all 110 FT neighbors and remember the ~60 that want gifts. Please let us use our lists to send gifts again.

re the boxes to select which products to produce when using start all:

It seems there are no check boxes in the petrochemical plant..or, maybe it is just mine. In either case, I cannot select specifics.

ALSO, when I check boxes in one facility, they auto check in any duplicate facilities. Is it possible to fix that? Some products I want some of but not from ALL my duplicate facilites. Like 5 dairies, I don't want butter from all 5, just one. Am I going to have to remove it and for some facilities, then add the tick back to however many I want?

Sure wish I knew what products will be needed for the two pending facilites...any hints?

looking forward to farm 12, but it will severely cut into my sleep schedule LOL

LOVE the upgrade - I have everything I always wanted now with the remaining start all buttons and the check boxes for the start all functions......but I will hold off on the orange sprinkler. With all the trouble we had figuring out the red one and redesigning how we do things, I just can't see the orange one working very well since we have all kinds of trees at various time lengths on the same farm, plus crops at another time interval and flowers at another interval - this will get way too confusing. Unless it is separated into a tool all by itself, I won't waste the farm cash on it. I'm not a genius and this game already takes too much of what little brain power I have left at this age, LOL. But Thank You Farm Town for the greatest upgrade yet.....

Hi there,

You should have check boxes in the petrochemical, i have just looked at mine, and they are showing.

LOVE the upgrade - I have everything I always wanted now with the remaining start all buttons and the check boxes for the start all functions......but I will hold off on the orange sprinkler. With all the trouble we had figuring out the red one and redesigning how we do things, I just can't see the orange one working very well since we have all kinds of trees at various time lengths on the same farm, plus crops at another time interval and flowers at another interval - this will get way too confusing. Unless it is separated into a tool all by itself, I won't waste the farm cash on it. I'm not a genius and this game already takes too much of what little brain power I have left at this age, LOL. But Thank You Farm Town for the greatest upgrade yet.....

i have always thought that 1 should be used for flowers, 1 used for crops, and 1 used for trees. that would be the simplest way, and i bet they would sell a lot more if they did separate them like that.

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with this new update. I haven't made hardly anything in my bee farms, mineral mines, open-pit mines, fish farms, etc. this morning. Looks like the clocks are being reset when we unload or reload for how much time is left to produce the next batch as all items in each of these are now synchronized. This is a really really BIG problem. I noticed something was off when I went to load my metal mills as I can usually load 3 of them at 100% and I was only able to load 1....Please check into this as we will have nothing to work with tomorrow.....

Great addition however one problem, what ever boxes you uncheck or check for a facility to load on one farm. sets all the same facilities on everyfarm the same way. Example, I have 4 sugar plants on 4 different farms, I dont need to make that much maple syrup so I uncheck the maple syrup in one facility, but now they are unchecked on all 4 farms. I want to still be able to load the Maple syrup in one sugar facility but not all 4. this is the same for any multiple facility you may have on different farms.

Hello,

I'm afraid you will have to do a bit of information gathering to work out what exactly is going on. What you need to do is , before you next store from the mineral and open pit mines make a note of of how much of each type of ore you already have showing in your "Harvest & Products" Storage. Then go to one of the mines and make a note of how much is "done" then store one of the products, then check your storage to again to make sure it made it there. If they did, then try another. Once you know how much of each ore you have, you will then be able to work out how much of it will be used in your metal mills.

Thank you for the terrific update. New facilities are beautiful and fun. Generous production of the bbq sauce and tofu. Check boxes are nice on facilities that aren’t duplicates.

Have tried using the My Requests tab to accept gifts but doesn’t seem to be working properly for me. Have cleared out my cache. Neither button works for me. Can accept via the old route but no holiday goodies to send back and have to go back to FarmTown to send the gift needed to my neighbors. Or have I just worn out FT today? :P

You can........I thought the same thing you did, but there is an arrow to the left now with a drop down that allows sorting :)

The drop down arrow gives the following options:

All Friends
Farm Town Players
Friends to Invite
Selected

There is nothing that I can see to select using one of my own lists that I've created.

Farm Town Players could be workable except that it shows everyone who has the game loaded. Only a small percentage of my friends that have it loaded are actually playing. That's why I keep a managed list.

Thanks for the great new updates. While the upgrades were happening or shortly after,
1) I went to the store, sold 'non ingredients' for about 51million. It's now missing, and my non ingredients are mostly gone.
2) I tried to plant asparagus and while it looked like my whole field was planted, when I came back from my next field, there was only one row planted. It was ready in about 3 minutes. Strange. When I tried to harvest it, it just kept coming back as ready crops. Today my whole row (5) is missing. There is just green space.

Since the update I have not been able to store animals in their sheds. Yes I already checked to make sure I have room, I only had 56 cows in the dairy shed that I was trying to add more to, and I only have 6 hens in the coop but it will not let me add any. I know I am not the only one having this problem. Any time I try to add them I get a popup saying couldn't add to dairy shed/coop please try again later.

Hello,

There were a few strange things happening prior to the latest release, reload sorted the strange planting issues and they were fixed. If you are still having problems now, could you please try clearing your caches, close browser, and reload game, to get rid of any old data that may have caused the problem. Instructions , if you need them, can be found........

re the boxes to select which products to produce when using start all:

It seems there are no check boxes in the petrochemical plant..or, maybe it is just mine. In either case, I cannot select specifics.

ALSO, when I check boxes in one facility, they auto check in any duplicate facilities. Is it possible to fix that? Some products I want some of but not from ALL my duplicate facilites. Like 5 dairies, I don't want butter from all 5, just one. Am I going to have to remove it and for some facilities, then add the tick back to however many I want?

Sure wish I knew what products will be needed for the two pending facilites...any hints?

looking forward to farm 12, but it will severely cut into my sleep schedule LOL

I agree with you on the check boxes I was just coming in here to post the same thing. I have certain facilities on different fields and where I may certain or all items on field I need them different on the other. This should be a fix on this release and not have to wait to a next release.

once you click accept it should change to ask if you want to return the gift. When you exchange a gift you then click accept, there is no confirm button to click. If the buttons aren't working, have you tried another browser?

Hello, This is my first post to the forum and I do hope I sent it in the correct area. I always love the new updates, great job done. My only problem I am finding now is that when using a ft gift link on firefox that most gifts I get sent is now 50, it at first used to be about 200, then with last update went to 150. Are the amout of gifts you can accept at a time being reduced or would this be a glitch? Thank you for your time and effort. Been addicted to farming almost a year now thanks to my friend shelley lol... GREAT job on all the updates. Tyty.:D

Thank you Raul.... you have made many people happy. :)

It would be nice if the pop-up was removed warning that "you can only have up to......" when filling facilities in a future update. There must be a better way if people want a visual alert that they can't add more ingredients. I personally think the counting down of numbers on the blue button is sufficient. Perhaps the button changing to a different colour for those that have visual problems. All I know I seem to spend as much time clicking off the pop-up, as filling the facility and dislike it so much that I don't load them much these days. I have also made this suggestion in the appropriate place.

I am curious about the mini games.... hopefully it will breath a bit more life back into my own game. :)

I'd rather not either. I can click the My Request tab but neither the accept or exchange buttons work. . The accept button does nothing and the exchange button switches to the new page to exchange the gift but if I click on something it brings me back to the My Request tab. The requests are still there and nothing happens. I switched to IE and it worked fine.

I tried to water my cork oak trees and it said nothing to irrigate,why does it not recognise them? I planted a few flowers on the same farm and it then let me water both flowers and cork oaks,is this a glitch or have you not allowed for someone having only cork oaks to water on a farm.

Phooey. I had my hopes up. I was really excited about being able to remove from facilities that which I didn't want to process. However, I really needed the same facilities to work independently. I have extra facilities of the same because I need things like cheese a lot more than other dairy products. I need to be careful of the milk I use. Same goes for sheep. I don't have enough of certain products like wool and milk to make this new choice work. It just doesn't go far enough. OR you could do what I have asked for many times......double the amount of animal capacities in the barns. That's what I really need. I just have nowhere else to had several hundred more cows and sheep. I'm maxed out. Please think about this. Thank you.

I so agree...if they ever do it that way, I might fork over to do trees....but it is too confusing already trying to line up the flowers and crops...if it worked like the manure spreader where you just did it once every day and all stayed watered? Not sure but too much cash for what is offered!

Thanks again for the update!

I first want to say thank you to the developers .... the additional tools (ESPECIALLY for the Flower Shed) are wonderful, it saves my wrist a lot of work ... HOWEVER, and please don't take this as "whining" .... but the Sprinklers would benefit from someone re-thinking them. I spent FARM CASH on each sprinkler, only to have to hand water my flowers on 11 farms, hopefully soon to be 12 .... In that aspect I feel as if I have went backwards ..... If the brown one (again, FARM CASH) could be put back in the line-up so if we choose to just WATER FLOWERS, and not push growth quite yet, it would be nice. So far, I have spent 190 FARM CASH on sprinklers ... yet here I am with the stinkin' watering can .... doing 11 farms ....

?????

Also, for me to able to do "one click" fills in my facilities, (and empties) I have purchased 13 different tools, to the tune of 475 FARM CASH, and this is not even counting the multiple seeders, harvesters, tree shakers, manure spreaders, fishing boats, plows, combines, bulldozers, flower harvesters, tree shakers, well ..... y'all catch my drift.

I purchased these willingly, and never came on here to complain. Now, after really looking at what I spent, I am disillusioned as to why, after all of that money, can I not fill my facilities after hoarding for a solid week or week and a half ??? I KNOW, I don't HAVE to FILL everything, I CHOOSE TO ! This is how I play. I DO NOT have hundreds of facilities .... I have 109 over all my farms ( a couple are duplicates ) and 18 Service Facilities .... I cannot keep enough product !!

What I would like, is more room, without additional facilites ..... will it happen??? Heck no !!! But, WITHOUT WHINING, I am still going to wish ...

Hi the price you payed for the orange sprinkler is a upgrade price as it has more functions if you were able to buy the orange sprinkler on its own it would be the price of the brown red and orange so meaning the purchase price would be 140FC

[QUOTE=Raul;4889038]See Known Issues and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Oct 15, 4:20AM EST.

Hi There,

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

3. Join and get Joined by other online farmers: When you click a neighbour picture in the Neighbour Bar at the bottom of the game (or the double-green-man in the Buddy Window which replaced the green circle) you will see 2 new menu options:

a) Join 'User': Sends a message to 'User' asking for its permission, if user accepts, you will navigate to where that user is located.

b) Ask 'User' to Join You: Sends a message to 'User' asking if he/she wants to Join You. If user accepts he/she will navigate to where you are located.

These options work in every place, you or the other user can be anywhere, including farms, marketplace, realtor or inn.

Notice the online status (The double-green-man) in the Buddy Window is pretty accurate but the online status in the Neighbour Bar (green circle) is not, it's only updated when the game loads and on some specific occasions during the game. So if you are sure a user is online you can still send that user a Join Request even if he/she appears offline in the neighbour bar (without the green circle)./QUOTE]

__________________________________________________ _____________________________

I haven't tried this invite yet but I was just noticing that when I go to my buddy list, I do not see a "double-green-man" I still see a sing green-man and a green dot indicating they are online. Is this the same thing or has the double-green-man not been implemented yet?

thanks

why is the end of the bar the rightful place for the "My Requests" tab? My logic would put it on the other side of the Play tab, beside the Send Gifts tab so like items are together. But that's just me

you should be able to exchange gifts on the "My Request" tab. To the right of the gift picture there should be a green accept button, a blue exchange button and then a grey ignore button

By chance has anyone heard if the FT Devs are planning on releasing a "tool" to help us load up our "service facilities" easier like they did for our regular production facilities? It would be really a dream come true! :)

Again thanks Devs for yet another wonderful update, can't wait for the next one with new levels and Farm 12! :)

thanks Raul for the upgrade very impressed with the facility manager upgrade takes me 1/4 the time to load my factories then before the upgrade. Would love to see the animal barns increased in storage or create a super barn that allows you to store a 1000 animals in it. I would even pay fc cash for a barn that would hold a 1000 cows and a 1000 hen and a 1000 sheep in it.

why is the end of the bar the rightful place for the "My Requests" tab? My logic would put it on the other side of the Play tab, beside the Send Gifts tab so like items are together. But that's just me

you should be able to exchange gifts on the "My Request" tab. To the right of the gift picture there should be a green accept button, a blue exchange button and then a grey ignore button

at least for me, the Exchange button hasn't been working ... just one of the glitches that happen with new updates. Also like the animal barns not accepting animals right now.

I tried to water my cork oak trees and it said nothing to irrigate,why does it not recognise them? I planted a few flowers on the same farm and it then let me water both flowers and cork oaks,is this a glitch or have you not allowed for someone having only cork oaks to water on a farm.

it's got to be a glitch ... I have 2 farms with just facilities and trees and the new mobile sprinkler wouldn't work there until I planted 1 plot of a crop. Think I'll plant a flower instead, at least it won't go to waste.

Thanks for the wonderful new items. Please think about something to make fishing easier. I can't get people to fish for me and now with all the farms I Don't have the time to fish daily. Again thanks for all the wonderful things you have released in the last couple of months.

I wonder why Gift Exchange function does not work.
When I click Exchange button, gift page appear, but when I click on the target gift (to change), there is nothing happen. And there is not any button to confirm...

Please notice this problem, I've use Chrome-base browser, WinXP SP3

hi you will notice when you click on exchange the gift page opens and when you select the gift you want and come back to the my requests page it will show the item you selected instead of the gift you were gifted.

Hi

I just tested it and exchanged a venus flytrap (halloween item) to a cow

worked successfully with the new system.

also on the same new system after you click accept the send gift back button appears (-:

personally i hope they don't introduce one as it would make the game more unrealistic a farmer cant undie a crop if it is lost.

i have suggested a revamp of the existing tend to neighbour popup that would detect if one of your neighbours has a crop that is 1 hour or less away from going to waste and would send a popup to a online neighbour asking them to save your crop by harvesting it.

also could be applied to if flowers need watering.

its more realistic then a unwither option and gives a purpose to that annoying popup that makes it worth something.

Thanks Raul. Love the updates.

I agree with All. Unwithering crops is pretty unrealistic. That can't be done in real life either. I do like the idea of a pop up that says that neighbours crops are going to waste soon and that we can go over there to harvest them.

Although I love most of these updates, I HATE HATE HATE the new gifting page. I used to be able to click on Facebook Friends, and then I could choose a group from a dropdown menu (I have all my farmer friends in a FarmTown category), and then I could click Select All and send. VERY EASY~!!!! Now, I have to try and remember every friend I send to each and every time and click them individually. WHAT A HASSLE~!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE either go back to the previous system, or give us the opportunity to choose from a dropdown menu that contains groups that we have previously assigned to a category. THANK YOU.

The updates are great as usual. Still would like to be able to harvest the new view stables in the facility manager. Also would still like to be able to just water flowers when needed, without having to do the crops etc. Sometimes don't have anything planted and want to water and harvest flowers. Then when planted, cannot irrigate the crops. Help!!!
Thanks again for all the great stuff.

The belt system of fishes seem to be incomplete.
There is no popup when you hover on fish's name, unlike the old 3 types of belt (crop, tree, flower).

And, after reading the tip for gift exchange, I can say this to you: thank you, but when I click on non-animal gift, they turned back to "My requests" page and displayed very well, but when I click on animals, there is NOTHING happen (no popup, no turn back to "My requests" page,...), the only event I can see is: the red border appear on selected animal.

I use Chrome and Chromium browsers.

"...do you plan to introduce a non-wither item as in other FB games. I have this in other games and it sure helps with the short growing time crops..."

I agree 100% - I tend to not plant as many short-term crops as I need because I can't do Facebook/Farmtown from work. So I have to base my crop choices on what crops will fit into my work schedule. That means that all 2-hour, all 4-hour, most 8-hour & many 12-hour crops don't get planted very often (except on the weekends where they tend to consume my day - that's aggravating because I then have to decide not to farm or work my weekend around Farmtown).

"...I have suggested a revamp of the existing tend to neighbour popup that would detect if one of your neighbours has a crop that is 1 hour or less away from going to waste and would send a popup to a online neighbour asking them to save your crop by harvesting it...

This world be a good option too. Another would be to extend the growing times of those short-term crops...

Because FarmTown only post 5 feeds in 12hrs, so I have to choose which belt/dan to share.

Before, I can you Belt Showroom to view the actual belt/dan. But now, I can't access the showroom in this situation (see picture). The popup covers Belt Showroom icon.

Belt/Dan feed only show 1 time, if I click No (red cross), this belt/dan is lost forever. But if I click Yes (green tick) and I have the higher belt/dan, I will lost 1 (of 5) feed, it means I will lost a chance to post another feed.

Please move the Belt Showroom back to previous location. Thank you!

And, when I post Beets brown belt, only 2 minutes my friends conplaint that it is expired. Too odd!

I agree, that was placed on Thurs late or Friday and I surely thought tomorrow would have been Saturday. I wish FT wouldn't do that unless they really know exactly when they are going to release something cause it makes us wait and wait before we do anything with our farms..(or at least me anyway) If it is going to be released on Monday...say Monday and try to stick to that date. (or don't give us a date) Anyway, tomorrow on FT can be a week. I do appreciate the surprise facilities you gave us and I will be waiting on tomorrow (lol) for the rest of facilities. Wish we could have gotten a hint as to what to collect on the tomorrow facilities so we could plan for it. I can figure out the fishing facility, but would love to know what we need for mini mall. :) :) :)

Love the new way of accepting gifts. I don't think is is working totally, there are some minor gliches. I had 14 gifts and 10 of them I accepted through my farm. The other 4 were not showing up and I accepted them through old way via facebook. They are recent gifts, because earlier I had cleared up all my gifts. I am sure that with updates there are some problems but hopefully the developers are working them out.

Before the new release yesterday, if you hovered with the mouse over a product in production in the facility, you could see how many of that product was in the store. Now you can't, unless you drop out and go into the store itself. I had found this really useful, any chance of having it back again?

A little touchy are we??? Yes it should have been placed at an end of the tab bar. So which end??? The front end or back end??? Wouldn't an END of the tab bar make more sense than putting it right smack in a place where players have gone for years?????? ....no need to make it difficult...
