New Release -- June 1st, 2012

[Docperk]

I have been reading all the comments about the trains, and I think I would have to side with what appears to be the popular opinion. I am not real impressed with the first ones. I do hope that the next ones do have ingredients that are harder to keep stocked than the currently released ones. I don't think I would care for the translucent appearance while they are on route either. I have bought the locomotive but not interested in the current FC box cars. Hopefully ones I would be interested in are released soon, but I have a feeling this is going to take a long time to get the items needed.
I do appreciate the release of the crops before the facilities so we could get an early start on them.

thank you

[1fritz]

Just wanted to thank Raul and Devs for the recent updates. Really like the design of the freight trains. I think this release of the trains is just a foretaste of better things to come with the trains.

Lemon Grass and Cashew trees also great.

The only thing that would have made this update better is the ability to rotate the trains. And I know that is coming at some point.

Thanks you
Fritz

I do not think we should have to have the facilities on the farm we want to put the train on. I also have the facilities I need to buy the one longdoor boxcar and it still says it is locked. It just says it is locked does not tell me why it is locked. I am not in the mood to play guessing games with Farm Town as to why I can't buy the boxcar. Also I am not going to go moving factories around from this farm to that farm just so I can buy a boxcar. The game just needs to lighen up and let us buy the boxcars for the train and put them on what ever farm we want. I have never been ****** off at Farm Town before.

Hi, you only need the facility on the current farm or storage during the buying process... after that, they can go where they like... What i did, was store my stone windmill, bought the boxcar, then put the windmill back.

Sometimes it will still show as locked... just refresh the game and it will unlock

[Farmer_Susan]

Uh, remember the days when you worked your neighbors' facilities by having to click on EACH product????? I do. The current method is a big help timewise. But I have to admit, I'd be one of the first to buy a "Work All" tool that would do the whole farm with one click of the mouse LOL Thanks for the upgrades on how we do things. :D

Oh yeah. I remember those days. I remember when we didn't HAVE facilities. Just plant, harvest, plow and start all over again. But you know what? I thought it was a cool game even then. But oh man YEAH would I love a one click work thing! I've got some really good neighbors and I'd love to help them out more frequently but I just don't have the time.

[theoxman]

7 days FT days = 5.8 days in real time lol

So...it's still pathetic. No way in hades I'm buying into this. SK developers are on a real losing streak.

[theoxman]

I have to speak my mind here. The complaints on the train are getting out of hand. Yes, it's not what we expected, but this game is a work in progress and the start of the freight trains should be small so they can work out ALL bugs before they add to it and make it beneficial to higher end players. I would rather they do it this way than having massive problems for everybody all at once. I see this as a tool for lower end players at the moment and maybe someday it will work for the rest of us. There is nothing wrong with this and everybody should quit complaining. I so appreciate everything that the developers do to this game with each and every update, even if what they produce is not something that I'm going to spend my real money on. Fact is, if I were a developer and hearing all these complaints about my hard work, I would think twice about doing anything else. And while I'm on my rant, maybe it would just be a fantastic idea if they never ever told us anything that may or may not be coming in the future so everybody will quit with the negative comments when it doesn't happen on schedule. It's like having a baby - it will be ready when it is ready and not a moment earlier. There is enough in this game to keep lots of people happy doing lots of things and if this game is irritating you to that degree, maybe you should not be playing. OK, I've ranted enough - I'm off to quietly and contently play farm town - God bless all of you, especially the developers who do work hard trying to keep alot of people happy.

This is a tool for low end players? Huh? Low end players that have 105 FC to spend on this?

If you think the last 3 updates have been great I'm sorry but I cannot concur. They have been disorganized, unimaginative, uncoordinated and frankly uninspiring.

7 days to get a miniscule amount of goods...most of which are outside the main product needs to boot. Sorry but it's just no good.

[AussieGecko]

When this latest update came and the lakes and seawaters moved themselves around the farm I lost all my bait except 200 odd on both. I did have thousands. Having run low again, I went to the Fish Farming Plant and clicked to store the bait and funnily enough, it went to cyber space. I have none in storage. Yes I cleared the cache etc etc . . . I know the drill. Any ideas on what I should do please?

Bait doesn't show up in your storage. It goes direct into your lakes and sea coasts.

[max_river]

ok since the train thing was useless to me and i have fc burning a hole in my pocket can we have the factories pls and ty

[parrot38]

I know I am thick but does the train when in collection mode just work on the farm where it is positioned or all my farms thats why it takes 7 days?

[maggiel29]

The train goes of to a "virtual market" much like the one for the semi trailer. It takes 7 days to go round all these imaginary markets collecting goods. It doesnt matter how many farms you have.
In the future we will be able to ask neighbours to work it like they do our facilities to speed it up ( I think anyway thats what the boost button is for).

Angela that is your opinion and of course you are entitled but you know we are not children being told by teacher to shut up and be grateful for what you get.

This is a game we play and which cost real money to buy the items if players dont tell the Devs when they are not happy,how will they know.

Everyone is entitled to comment and that is what players are doing. you really do not need to read them if you are happy with the new trains.. :)

[maggiel29]

Please people can we just listen to the mods and keep on topic?

This is an area that obviously was not well though out by the devs...a train would NOT be at the facility at my farm...especially if it's having to travel 7 days round trip. You are entirely correct...it shouldn't matter a darn if you have any facility on a farm. I suspect they did this for more FC purchases or it was just something else that was poorly tested.

[JuneRedding]

Mine also wouldn't unlock, until I bought the 'Train Depot' building from the 'Building' tab (3rd page down, bottom right).

Hiya :) thank you for the answer NiMo1960, sorry took so long but all sorts of glitches yesterday so could not get back to forum till now. I went to the Train thread after I posted here (doh should have read there first) sorted it by putting engine and carriages on the farm where facilities were, then they all unlocked in store :) then moved engine and all carriages back to farm 1 where my tracks are and all was hunky dory :) already had depot on farm 1 :)

:rolleyes:

gotta pop in here and comment.... aimed especially at those who have made a decision based on

[1] NOT reading much of the release information
[2] NOT reading too many of the previous posts
[3] NOT actually looking at the train pieces and what they can and will do

This train release, while not to everyone's taste/needs/wants was in a long process of development (organized). Undoubtedly it was tested many times before release. The designs are much improved over items released these past 3+ years.

The information regarding how it works is actually very precise. Only those (like myself) who bought and dispatched before a little more reading have to wait to "correct" the place or position we really want the trains to be.

Previous posts bring up the FAQs and usually are followed with good information and suggestions.

When opening the train, and then opening the "Train Status" there is a button in the upper left marked "Boost Train". Granted, it is "Coming Soon". But that is he same process as the other facilities had before they could be posted and worked by others. I think the 7-day wait is only temporary.

If you don't want the trains, or the Thai Restaurant, or other tools..... don't buy. Yet I think if they were for coin... most players would buy everything.

The main complaints are the cost. Yes I agree the costs should be more in line with the $1/Level FREE Farm Cash. The costs, however, should NOT be free if we expect to continue playing. Some one has to pay the bills. I, for one, spend a fair amount of real dollar$ because I want to play at a "higher" level. That also helps pay the bills so the complainers can still play... you are welcome..


Perhaps when future freight cars are released which supply what I really need (like sugar and chicken) I will buy those too. And perhaps they will be cheaper..... or not.

In the meantime, when someone finds a similar game that has endured 3+ years online.... has advanced to the current complexity... has a forum and mod team ready to help where they can.... and has an illusive developer who won't post once in awhile... ;) let me know about it please.!!

Well said Stoneface- I agree entirely

[knolan]

Why can't the rotation of trains be available when they add them to the system? If they wait too long to enable that option, people would have to rearrange their farms again. I would prefer to have the option at the time they're available so I don't have to rearrange the farms.
And, taking advantage of FT addicts who spend all their hard earned money during this recession, is not good business ethics. We know bills need to be paid, the argument is not that issue, it's the excessive amts of farmcash needed to purchase items. Take a lesson from Walmart, lower prices & sell more, rather than raise prices & sell less.

[Tom C]

I do not care that it takes the train 7 days to make its run. I really dont need it, my farms are big enough that I can produce what I need to run my factories at 100% when I load them. I just like to have all the tools, plus I thought it would lessen the amout of stuff I would have to plant for a few of the factories that the train would service. But I am not going to spend the time it will take to move factories around to buy the **** box cars. If I can not just put my train on from 14 with out having to jump through a bunch of hoops well they will not be getting my farm cash for this tool.

[Dutch85]

I bought the train because, to be honest, I just like to have everything. LOL The train may not carry the goods I am in need of at this time, but I see a lot of potential for future goods that I WILL need. For me buying all the FC items as they come out means I don't have to backtrack later and buy in one huge lump. I realize not everyone can afford the FC items and sometime in the future I might be in the same place they are. If that happens, I will try to save the FC I get from leveling up til I can buy them. Anyway, this is the only game I spend real money on. It was a case of choosing one game that was worth it to me, and FT won hands down. Just my very humble opinion.

:o:o
I do hope that you come back and read this. Would you PLEASE go to the GAME GUIDE and read Chapter 30 on TRAINS??!!
It plainly states that you can have your factories in storage when you purchase the cars, then put your factory back on the farm. You can then move the cars all to one farm or where ever you want them.

I hope this helps some.

[Valntyn]

Just a quick question that the trains brought up. Wasn't the oil refinery coins before?

[Deborah1979]

:mad: ;) :D
OK, I have read thru all the last 40 pages of comments after the release of the Trains. And, I must say I am so frustrated and disappointed in a lot of people that left comments (especially negative) without READING the official GAME GUIDE. There is a new chapter with very clear explanations just for the TRAIN!!

This seems to happen every time after a new type of play or tool is put into the game. Remember the reactions and lack of understanding or patience with the belts/dans?? Remember the reactions to the new sprinklers??

If I were the devs, I would put up the explanations when you FIRST ENTER your farm, and ALL players would have to READ and cyber-sign that they had READ before they could even open their farm!! But then, I am like that. :eek:

Just like I did with the sprinklers, I will wait a few more days before I make the decision to purchase the train, or not.

The above are my opinions of course, but please consider reading before ranting.

Nope,it has always been for fc.

[Deborah1979]

A reminder to anyone that always sell all of their "Non-ingredients".....

Until the Thai Restaurant is released, any lemongrass you may have harvested is showing in the Non-Ingredients.

Just a friendly reminder, so you don't forget!

good advice

Also, at some point we may have a use for grapefruit and juniper... which are non-ingredients.

I took the time to go to the market, and "SELECT" the items that I do not use or need. These became my own selection of Non-Ingredients and include items that would go to facilities I have no interest in (Beauty shop etc)

Now when I go to the market to sell... I sell "SELECTED" and keep all the other things for inventory and future use.

When a new facility is released, and I intend to use it, I check what items it uses and make sure that those few items are not checked....

Yes, it took a few minutes to do initially, but it made it easier for me.

This is an exciting twist to Farm Town and am looking forward to new challenges; thanks for all you do to make it happen!!! God Bless!!!

[cjbraswell]

just so i have this train situation understood, it does not matter which farm i place my train on, it will work properly, i just have to purchase the long cars from the farm that has the particular facility on that is required. is that correct?

[Taz D]

Yes. Read the game guide chapter 30 on the trains and it explains exactly what you have to do to purchase the cars.

[cjbraswell]

thanks Taz! ;)

[drr30]

Great job on the Trains devs. I for one wasn't a big fan of the train idea until now. I bought the car for flour even thou I didn't need the flour. now i can expand my facilities on other farms like a 3rd pizza shop another bakery making this one the 12th or 13th not sure lol.
Might even add a 3rd snack shop. My point being with the trains im able to increase my empire to 700 factories. Also bought the 6 x 6 plow/harvest combine to use on my smaller farms makes life alot easier. Can't wait for the milk factory. Again great job on the upgrade

[psycho_mommi]

i like the trains, i think they are an interesting start. maybe not what i would have preferred, but like all things in FT, i think they are a work in progress. i think more things will be added on down the line, and i think patience is something we all need to practice. i too remember before we had facilities, then when we got them, having to click each individual fac at a time to work them, 1 click at a time. we asked for improvements, and we got them, thanks to ALL THE DEVS THAT WORK THEIR BUTTS OFF. then we got tools. then we got bigger tools, then BIGGER TOOLS, and now we have HUGE TOOLS. i would like to see an addition of a larger tree chopper/shaker, and a larger flower harvester. i would gladly cough up Farm cash for those. i think the devs team are doing a fantastic job, and more importantly, they LISTEN to us, the players. i can not say the same thing for that other farming game, they just don't care if you like what they do or not. anyway, thanks for everything, Devs Team, this is still the only game i play!! and i love it!

[psycho_mommi]

ps--- i have ingredients for Thai recipes!!! (hint, hint, hint!! ;) )

[JW2009]

I recommend not selling anything until it's figured out just to be safe :) Thank youI just went and checked mine as well at Market , as I haven't sold anything for awhile pending the update. I normally sell off my non ingredients that aren't used anywhere. The items used in facilities used to have a question mark in the top right corner and those that didn't, I would select all of those with the check box and sell. Well, now it appears they ALL have question marks but when I click on the question mark, I just get a blank pop up. Hmmm - I hate to sell off something that I'll need in a service facility. I'll have to be extra careful too and really pay attention so as not to accidentally sell something I've been hoarding :p. As I haven't sold in a couple of weeks, I'm not sure if it just started with the update, or if it was before the update.

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Tom, you don't need to move your factories around to buy the new trains. You just go to the farm your factory is on (the one you need to buy a specific train) and buy the train there. Once you've bought it you put it into storage and then place it anywhere you want on any of your other farms, simple really.

I do not care that it takes the train 7 days to make its run. I really dont need it, my farms are big enough that I can produce what I need to run my factories at 100% when I load them. I just like to have all the tools, plus I thought it would lessen the amout of stuff I would have to plant for a few of the factories that the train would service.

Hi everyone, there is a new preference option on the trains, you can now turn on/off it's transparency.

[TexasQuilter]

Hooray for the new option regarding the transparency of the freight train.

[Hornyroo]

Hi everyone, there is a new preference option on the trains, you can now turn on/off it's transparency.

in no other games are the dev's so willing to listen to the masses - thx Devs!!! :D

[cyncyn69]

I agree that we need to stop complaining and thank the developers. Especially as they worked all weekend to give us trains so we can play a game. I have been playing this game since the beginning (yes I need a life) and they have never posted updates on a weekend (in my timezone) so lets thank them for this and instead of constantly criticizing and complaining. It's only a game people.

[PKT]

You folks are so awesome!! Thanks a bunch!!

Post Release Updates - June 12th, 7:50PM EST

- There is a new preference option named 'Transparent Dispatched Train' that will allow you to enable or disable the transparent effect when a train is dispatched.

100% agree!

[ImajeanB]

there is just something i am not getting .. sorry i am a dunce sometimes... i got the engine locomotive and i got the one for the flour, corn etc... and i got the wooden mill all on the same farm....and i thought i started it .. it is like translucent but it ain't doing anything help ?? i know i am missing something .. this is my stupid day I guess. lol

SunnyD did you click on the train status tab to see if it is working? Mine started working right away and after 2 days it has transported almost 2,000 products. I like the idea it doesn't take away what we already have...a bonus!

[PKT]

Oh my goodness! Your explanation is very simple! I totally misunderstood how to buy the train too so I moved some facilities. No big deal but thank you so much for clarifying so I don't make the same mistake when they add more cars later. :)

[ImajeanB]

Well something is wrong with my freight train. I got it all hooked up on my Farm #3 ... I hit the "dispatch" and it went translucent ... but when you click on the Locomotive and then click "show train details" - it shows the following now on each one of the Boxcars - "Carrying - 0" "To Load (gives diff number for each boxcar)" "To Go: 140 markets 7 Days" ... I don't understand? Where is the amount each one is carrying? Does this go the opposite that the Semi-Truck does? Just wondering, I'm confused. :confused:

Click on the train staus tab...mine started working immediately.

once you click dispatch the train will leave to go to the markets the number "carrying" will start at 0 and gradually increase over the 7 days as it reaches each market.

[Texas Belle]

What in the world is going on, can't do a darn thing on the farms... I have harvested flowers 3 times today and everytime i go there they are, I have fertilized and when I go back nothing is fertilized, there is a rolling thing that keeps saying saving, saving... I am tired tonight and very frustated..hope they are working on fixing this because is very annoying!! Now if it is because we are getting new things tomorrow, then I am all for it, ;-)

[Texas Belle]

Let's remember, we are paying money to play this game, and the developers are not doing all this for free. If the moderators themselves did not state that feedback, both positive and negative, is welcome, then I would perhaps understand where you claim the right to order us to all play nice and grateful, regardless of what possible *fixes* some of see would be useful. We know when our animal sheds are ready...how? By hovering and reading "ready to harvest in......". To say that making the train nearly invisible is the only way we can know the goods have been transported is really insulting our intelligence, and the intelligence of the developing team. If hovering over an animal shed, a tree, a crop, a flower can all tell us when these are ready, then I for one do wonder why this could not be done with the train.

And, for what it is worth, I think I have done my part in thanking the developers for each and every update : I spend real money to buy the new things. And as a paying customer, you bet I have the right to voice disappointment, or "complain" as you put it. I think the developers have enough "Yes" men/women singing their praises, that those who truly see room for improvement are not going to cause them undue stress or hurt feelings. No one is perfect at everything they do in their job, and I personally could not find a thread or post where players posted en masse that they needed more of the goods that the train takes 7 days to bring us.

You are quoting my message all wrong, think you had another one on your mind.

[Texas Belle]

Hi everyone, there is a new preference option on the trains, you can now turn on/off it's transparency.

I saw that, thank you, thank you, but just to remind me that is doing something I will leave it like that, lol

[Texas Belle]

What in the world is going on, can't do a darn thing on the farms... I have harvested flowers 3 times today and everytime i go there they are, I have fertilized and when I go back nothing is fertilized, there is a rolling thing that keeps saying saving, saving... I am tired tonight and very frustated..hope they are working on fixing this because is very annoying!! Now if it is because we are getting new things tomorrow, then I am all for it, ;-)

I know what is happening is all those trains flying around the markets trying to get goodies to bring back... the tracks are congested. Oh well tomorrow will be another day..... Thanks guys, but please go to bed sometime and rest...

[1fritz]

I do want to Thank the Dev's and Raul again for the trains. Great idea with more to come I'm sure.

Now if they would just rotate I'd be a really happy camper.

Fritz

[theoxman]

If you think trains were organized then we're reading from different dictionaries. 7 days? For amounts that don't make a bit of difference? Having to wait 10 days after multiple releases? If there was going to be some sort of boost button..where is it? Why not implement it now? Uncoordinated, disorganized and uninspiring. Devs have done much much better in the past

[Docperk]

I still miss the ability to hide the decorative trains by unchecking the Show Decorations. I thought there might be an option to hide them easily when I clicked on one and they all highlighted but to my dissapointment still had to hide all one at a time, so I just added to storage instead. I did how ever find a new option for you that were upset with the train going transparent with dispatch. I guess just uncheck it and it stays visible... :)

[max_river]

ok can we have factories to make the people who the trains where useless for because they all ready have so much of the stuff. fair is fair it we do not get soon it would be just like where waiting for high diversion rank would give us some like you said also with quest not worth doing just for coin now if fc you might be able to get them cool. also can give us new levels more often. i mean you do not need to give us a new farm each time you release new levels. but you have to do something for us who are up at the top and no way to fc with out new levels being added.. pls pls give us something

[AussieGecko]

Bait doesn't show up in your storage. It goes direct into your lakes and sea coasts.

Thanks for responding but I forgot to mention the number in the lakes or oceans rise either. I had some produced but once I chose to store it, none of the waters had an increase in their bait numbers.

Post Release Updates - June 12th, 7:50PM EST

- There is a new preference option named 'Transparent Dispatched Train' that will allow you to enable or disable the transparent effect when a train is dispatched.


Thank-you thank-you

[astradriver]

i made the mistake of putting my facilities into storage and dispatched train, now i cant get them out of storage, guess i have to wait till train returns - love the train though :) tyvm

Good morning! Thank you so much for the many updates regarding this release! I enjoy the time estimates for pending items very much!

I'm guessing it will get put right when the new facilities are released - today or tomorrow - BTW I adore your profile photo - cute.

[Duck Duck Goose]

So the train brings products OR EXTRA products of what you probably already produce or a few things that you may not be producing but have a need for. In all likelyness tho, if you have a need for that stuff, you already probably have enough of that stuff.

Plastic, rubber, glass, flour, coffee, inks - I already produce so much of that stuff that I generally sell off the excess after doing my buildings, so why would i want a train to bring even more?

Theres only 2 or 3 items the 3 cars bring that ide even need that i dont produce any of. Since i dont have a FC paper mill, the card stock and paper roll might be of a little use, but not enough to spend FC on buying a freihgt car. I might as well just buy the **** papermill if i wanted the papermill stuff i could get, so as far as all the other stuff, I doubt the train cars are even worth messing with.

I wanted any of that stuff or extra stuff bad enough, Ide just buy the building Im missing or an extra one.
I think the freight train needs much more bang for the buck to be worth considering buying.

To make matters worse, Say for example that i never have enough wheat flour......just for example sake.
1: I could just buy more red windmills to have some on all 14 farms OR
spend FC on buying the bigger stone windmill.

The big FC stone windmill and extra red ones i could spread out to get more wheat flour negates the need to have a train car to get extra of that stuff. Not to mention that the stone windmill is cheaper than the train car, and eliminates needing more flour.
Requiring people to spend FC on the stone windmill just to be eligable to buy the FC train car is just gouging ppl.
Thankfully i have no need for more flour.
1 stone windmill and 3 red ones gives me 3 times the amount of flour i need.

I'm so disapointed in how the train ended up working.
It could have been put to soooo much better use just in being able to deliver items that are currently "GIFT ONLY" or extra items that only come from other FC buildings AND gifts- such as bait and
sausage packs, etc

[Rob T]

At the moment, they are non-ingredients, when the new facilities are released, they should then be moved.

[astradriver]

What's stopping you getting your facilities out of storage?


When i try to move them it tells me i cant move them out of storage just now and to try again later and i have cleaned cache etc but still same thing

[Taz D]

When i try to move them it tells me i cant move them out of storage just now and to try again later and i have cleaned cache etc but still same thing
Are you sure you have a large enough space to set them down. Make sure you don't have anything hidden in the space too. Unfortunately they dom't come out of storage with the same orientation you put them in.

[astradriver]

yea i have the space to move them back and its to same spot it was on before but when i try it tells me it cant be moved from storage to farm just now and to please try later, i think its because my train is dispatched.

[Farmgirl1706]

I havent seen anything for this but when I work on others facilities the frieght train comes in the line up of facilities being worked and half the time gives an error message that you cant get out of unless you hit the green button which of course takes you back to your farm. Has anyone else had this and is it a glitch that is being fixed ? Ive done the usual cashe clean on the flash and stuff but keeps reappearing. Things have also been slow lately too like the servers are being sluggish. Flash has been trippy lately so just wondering if this stuff has been brought up .

[astradriver]

yea ive had this too, i think its because the ability to help collect train goods is to come but that part of update is not released yet and the system is reading it as an error

[Farmgirl1706]

Yeah its an Error saving data x025 .....if that helps the mods any on what we are seeing in case its something that could be fixed at the moment. Im dealing with it but it does make it difficult to do other's facilities when it wont let you go the next farm.

[parrot38]

In autumn will we have train breakdowns due to leaves on track and in winter the wrong kind of snow same as we do in England?

[StoneFace]

In autumn will we have train breakdowns due to leaves on track and in winter the wrong kind of snow same as we do in England?

Please note that the trains do NOT have a cow-catcher. It may be available in the future, perhaps in the Metal Mill.....or not.

In the meantime, you are advised to keep your cows (especially the FC ones) behind the fence. A border collie will be of much help.!!

[Farmer_Susan]

Wow, thanks for unghosting the train!

[JW2009]

Hi, Yes I did a test and the Freight Train does appear in the order of doing facilities, but for me it was blank and just a RED X to click and I never got Error Message. I know in the near future we will be able to post our trains but not yet and it should not show up with regular facilities - Thank You and Happy Farming :)I havent seen anything for this but when I work on others facilities the frieght train comes in the line up of facilities being worked and half the time gives an error message that you cant get out of unless you hit the green button which of course takes you back to your farm. Has anyone else had this and is it a glitch that is being fixed ? Ive done the usual cashe clean on the flash and stuff but keeps reappearing. Things have also been slow lately too like the servers are being sluggish. Flash has been trippy lately so just wondering if this stuff has been brought up .

[Farmgirl1706]

Yeah sometimes it is ok and is blank but sometimes the error comes randomly as well so was just seeing if that was a random glitch .

[levarti2]

They are extended for another cycle of growth. I love mine.

thanks for the input. I may have to rethink my idea of this tool.

[levarti2]

In autumn will we have train breakdowns due to leaves on track and in winter the wrong kind of snow same as we do in England?

or it could be like here where every winter/early spring we see trains cancelled due to mudslides. Hope the FT trains aren't subject to weather-related issues :)

Usually when FT acts up with lots of error messages (like tonight and last Sunday before the trains arrived) something is going on behind the scenes..stay tuned... :)

[Hyacinth Bucket]

I've had this same problem for a few days now, it's driving me nuts, I've tried using different browsers, reloading the farm a dozen times a minute and all the usual stuff, but still wading through molasses!

What the ??? is going on? To work on other neighbours farms is like trying to swim in melasses, and so is trying to seed om my own farms???This has been a real pain for the last 4 hours!

[Hyacinth Bucket]

I don't think it's because of the train being despatched Astradriver. Are you 100% positive there is nothing already on the space you want to put the fac coming out of storage on, ie a flower or tree that is hidden, it may not even look like it's on the space. You might have to move a few things out of the way for it to fit back in, especially if the orientation is different to how you had it originally.

Turn EVERYTHING on and then see if there's anything in the way. Or go to another farm where you have a large enough FREE space and see if it will come out of storage then, if it does then you'll know there's something in the way on the original farm.

yea i have the space to move them back and its to same spot it was on before but when i try it tells me it cant be moved from storage to farm just now and to please try later, i think its because my train is dispatched.

[Dutch85]

I had the same problem earlier today. I read in the forum to try restarting my router and it worked. Everything is back up to speed now.

[jcassemjr]

My take on the train as it is right now:

1. The first Train Car brings the same amount as the Stone flour mill, the corn mill, and the ground coffee of the the coffee grinder in one week as the individual facilities would produce in one week. So, I can store or delete one of each, freeing up space on my farm.

2. The second Train Car brings the same amount of card stock and paper rolls, the most used items out of the paper mill in one week as the paper mill would produce. It also brings the same amount of the pigments as the ink factory will make in the same time. So again, I can store or remove two facilities, freeing up space on my farm.

3. The third Train Car brings the same amount of plastic granules, most used item, as the Petro Chemical Plant in a week. It brings the same amount in a week that the Rubber Factory, only item, will bring in a week. and it bring the same amount of flat glass and mirror glass, again the most used item from the glass factory. So again, I can store or remove three facilities and free up space on the farm.

Given that players are struggling to move up to or see the value in the added farm space from the multi-billion coin expansions, in the space of maybe 2 or 3 facilities, I can free up the space of 8 facilities.

If they were just giving them a good test drive in this release, to see that they work as expected, I think they took a good tact in the direction in which they started. Think of the space that could be freed up in multiple facilities by using the limited space of the train cars by the direction they would be going. Obviously none of our trains have come in yet, but once they do, I'll be freeing up some space for future facilities and additional planting or decorating space.

I hope that they do in deed provide cars for the items that everyone needs, which will vastly vary by player. In this release, I actually benefited by the cars the started with, since I was always running out of paper rolls, even with 14 paper mills, if I didn't work every neighbor's "work my facilities" post. If they release cars for milk, eggs, and wool, I won't need to add animal barns to farm 15 when it is released, again saving 3-5 times the space on that farm!

[tiggeragin]

Why are the long one door box car and the long container car locked? I have the facilities needed to put these on my farm...I'm confused...:confused:

Yeah! Not to mention the space from growing all the rubber trees for the rubber factory and the saving on Ethanol - another high use item. Its an alternative to obtain goods that are needed a lot of. (Ok maybe the Devs could have picked different products but its a start). I agree this is an experiment which has unlimited potential as far as I can see.
I run out of rubber sheets and paper rolls quite often also, the rest hardly ever but I am willing to sit tight and see what future releases will bring. This will ultimately (I think) save having multiple facilities on different farms.

[MadamePondarosa]

If my freigt train is placed at the same farm as a facility or truck that gives the same product I need, will both give me the things I need, or is it limited in the same way that "you can have several chicken coops but only one will produce at that farm"??

I ofcourse wish that both will provide me stuff, and I have both freight train and coffee grinder at the same farm and would like to know. *hopefull*

Hi there - no it doesnt seem to be a problem I have the paper mill and petrochemical plant on the same farm as my train and no problems.

Same here... the train will unload after a week (or quicker if the Boost Option is activated)... and in the meantime all facilities are chugging along on track to produce as usual.

The following chapter in the game guide may help http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5185682

The trains are used as a supplement to your facilities, you only have to own certain facilities in order to buy a certain type of car. for example, you mist own the stone windmill in order to buy the long two-box car.

[bjyhey3]

Thank you all for your hard work keeping us in new facilities. This game has come a long way and has kept me playing for 3 years. I always look forward to the updates no matter what they are or how long they take. I can spend FC or not, play for hours on end or not...it's my pleasure to thank all of you. I love the trains (mine are at the 1/2 way point) because that means I can eliminate 1 facility for each product on the train and that means more room on my farms for other "stuff". Keep up the good work...:D

This last entry (or as Grumpa would say.. the updated update) says only what it says, and it does NOT say

- Next facilities coming this Wednesday or this Thursday.


Depending on his proficiency in grammar, this could mean any Thursday. We should not assume that "this" refers to both days.

However... it sure as heck better be "this" today, or kidnap proceeding will begin.

Lots of people viewing this forum who are going to be a might cross so I hope the Tiger is of somewhere stoning his crows or starving his lizards!

[MANHCTFL]

I have been having a single renegade crop show up on 4 of my farms (farms 1, 7, 8, &9) the last few days. The stubborn plot appears in the exact same spot on all 4 farms - 3 plots up from the bottom. They reappear after every harvest.

Anyone else seeing similar things on their farms? And no, I do not have stacked/layered farms.



I have been experiencing the exact same thing. It actually sounds like the renegade is in the same spot as yours! My farms are layered and I assumed that there is some corruption...but if you aren't layered, then it could be a FT bug

[max_river]

i love the waiting game who would ever get cross with waiting haha

[beverduster]

tomorrow never comes for slashkey, i think they are owened by the wwe, just to keep you coming back

Try deleting that plot, refreshing, and see if its gone, if not, keep deleting and refreshing. If it's not, then it maybe corrupted. if thats the case, then we can do a data cleanup, just make sure you have no buildings or trees or anything else ontop of any crops. :)

[krypto]

I had this once - one of the mods did a data clean up for me - if you have anything on top of anything else - i.e. used paths to make buildings closer you will have to move it but it worked for me.

Thanks for the reply. The plots are not near anything other than planted fields. No buildings, no dirt paths - nothing - and they are all in the same spot on the 4 farms.

Maybe I will have to have one of the mods clean up my data for me also.

Okie Dokie - headed there now to delete away - haven't used the dozer in a while - this could get ugly!

hmmmm - forgot I can't use the dozer on a planted field - have to attempt the carnage another day. I deleted the offensive fields and re-plowed them - they did not come back immediately. I will see if they stay that way. Thanks for the help!

:DI ..didn't think anything about it..when a ..plot of Strawberries...appeared..between buildings..on my farm..that I don't grow crops..wouldn't have seen it..but to fish a stream..I made buildings and trees invisible...
I just.. deleted it..and went on...i THOUGHT...when did I plant that.:confused:..makes be feel better..knowing I wasn't losing my marbles...

[susiefry]

History has shown the older players something about what Raul types, and what Raul could mean

Pending

- Next facilities coming this Wednesday or Thursday

This last entry (or as Grumpa would say.. the updated update) says only what it says, and it does NOT say

- Next facilities coming this Wednesday or this Thursday.


Depending on his proficiency in grammar, this could mean any Thursday. We should not assume that "this" refers to both days.

However... it sure as heck better be "this" today, or kidnap proceeding will begin.

.

Too funny and so true. I have a friend that keeps posting on her facebook page about it coming out today but as i learned, you better not get your hopes up, farm town time line is not the same as ours....lol

[susme48]

I have tried to read pretty much every page....usually do after this 'kind' of an upgrade :p....did anyone else think that the reason they started with these particular ingredients was because of the new factories...and perhaps ones coming next update? Could be we will need extreme amts. of some of these items, if not all? I sort of figured that was what was up with the ink, etc...as the board games will have printing on them, and may really be ink hogs...plus, since we MAY be making milk from soybeans, it would be nice not to be using it all up in the ink factory. Just a thought....I think the devs are pretty smart :cool: dudes and dudettes (yep, dated myself there huh? I am sooooo old....lol :D), and probably have a reason for most of what they do, even if we don't see it. :)

You gotta love this game....so addictive. :eek: I for one don't mind the idea of not having to plant as much wheat and corn....or keep adding to the humongous number of trees I already have planted to get more and more latex....and having 14 mines, of all natures, I cannot get more stuff to make any more glass....already have two factories which is about all I can handle...trying to keep the number of repetitive factories to 7, as that is more than enough farms to ask people to load. I try to keep it balanced and not over populate one or two farms, as I personally am not fond of having 80-100 factories per farm....would rather click 20+ on each farm...breaks it up just a bit. (tho' I really hate having 5-6 clicks on each farm...sigh and also people who put up one facility at a time, drive me bonkers :eek:)

Sorry off topic rant. :o I am babbling to make the time pass, while I wait for the new facilities....hopefully today....or whenever. Did I say I love this game??

I agree completely with you... look how long we have had the tamarind trees and it looks like maybe will be using them on Thai food... it is one of the staples on their food... and you are right one the board games, more ink and more wood too. And the new milk factory, we could be doing soymilk, and coconut milk (another staple of thai food). All possibilities exists and I bet you that they have all mapped out what is coming in the future. This is not the spur of the moment game, and I rather have all space out than like many other games out there, before you can finish something another whole new thing is coming out.
Gotta love our dudes and dudettes for keeping us interested and playing and "addicted" for over 3 yrs now. And above all we do it at our own pace and without any hassle. Thanks for all that!!

Wow good point about why the devs brought out those particular products for the trains first! Now I'm even more excited for the new facilities and so glad I bought the train!

[SunnyD]

i am seriously thinking about those tamarind trees cause they take 4 days to be ready to harvest.. but i have so little room for trees .. i am also getting that disconnect thing major bad in the last half hour.. and have had things i try to harvest return and i have tried twice to use the last sprinkler on some 8 hour crops.. both times it took my coins and did nothing.. grrr one more time.. i'm just not going to be awake for these crops to come in ... i'm falling asleep now

[mpwhitford]

I tend to agree that it won't be tonight. I've given up on waiting for the new factories anyway. It's getting closer and closer to what WOULD have been the July release so most likely they'll just wait and lump the four factories we've all been holding our breath for in with the new farm 15 and new levels. And call that a good release. :eek:

[bayoubes]

Yay, they just released the new facilities.

[Dutch85]

YAY!!!! Thank you devs!!!!

[Grumpa]

Yay, they just released the new facilities.



You could be lynched by an angry farm town mob for saying thing like that if they are not true. :eek:

[Rob T]

lol, just so happens that it is true :)

[bayoubes]

Ok, they have making milk out of some things I never heard of. Must be a global thing, would like to know if it is and where, would be interesting to know.

[bayoubes]

You could be lynched by an angry farm town mob for saying thing like that if they are not true. :eek:

Don't worry about me, Grumpa, this grammy only prints the truth after I check it out. Was trying to bring up the farm and it was just sitting on loading user for a while, refreshed, was the same, then it came up, check my store and their they was.

[FarmerMcLashwood]

I just knew there was a reason I hadn't gone to bed lol

All bought.... and loaded as much as I can lol

Raul is in the house!!! updates i am just betting!!!

[Fred1716]

suggestions for the new milk factory,

coffee and chocolate.

thanks.

[gffarmer]

Thanks Raul for the release of the new facs!! Off I go to get them!!

[FarmerMcLashwood]

Many thanks Raul...... and am loving the design of the new facilities:)

[kataltay]

Thanks for the new facilities, Raul, and for making the trains visible!! If I could "move" them, it would be a perfect update, LOL. But it's 99.999999999999999999999999% awesome, in my opinion! Will have to purchase more farm cash tomorrow, payday. LOL :D

[gumballs678]

The update is now complete! I'm SOOOOOO happy that I have new facilities. That's all I really care about, I don't have enough FC to buy the train cars, so the facilities are my thing!

[Texas Belle]

Thanks for the new facilities, they are the best buildings, cute, good looking, and very pleasant to the eye.... I was thinking tonight we will have them but y'all sneaked out on us and boom middle of the day. Thank you, thank you, you guys are the best!!

Now when are we going to be able to change looks on some of the other "older" buildings, there are still two or three that need remodeling or a face lift. ;=)

[MNWildOne423]

No cribbage sets in Game Factory? UNTHINKABLE!!! LOL Just a thought for a future update. Thanks for all you do! Keep up the great work!

[SunnyD]

ditto on that Belle...........and oh gosh please we need to be able to know when the animal barns are going to be ready to harvest.......this drives me nutty big time....only way is still to view the buildings and hover over them....
love the new facilities we finally get to use some trees and crops we either rarely use or new ones this is the bomb plus being able to use Coins .. yahooo

[kahra01]

Thanks so much for the awesome facs.. great update overall Raul and gang :D:D:D

[Farmer_Susan]

Love the new factories! The nursing home is a trip! Shuffleboard on the side and everything! LOL

[Marie Fews]

Thanks for the new facilities, they look great. This has been a terrific update! :D

[Petuniaflower]

THANK YA...THANK YA ....THANK YA..Have 2 nursing homes..bought the first one..put it on the wrong farm...:rolleyes:..stored it...then I couldn't find it in storage..so bought another..but..when:confused: decorating..My FAVORITE THING TO DO...I ran across it..it wasn't in buildings.....had to click ALL...BUT THAT IS OK..THE MORE THE MERRIER...I planted Durians the other day..where I really didn't want them..hiding a lovely house and KOI Pond..today..I am pullin the suckers our..they would just stink up the place anyway...:D

[PKT]

Great job on the new facility designs! They fit quite nicely into the farm designs. Thanks a bunch!! Now get some rest and then could you please look at the Market issue with all the question marks beside everything and blank pop up boxes when I click on the question mark to see what it is used for. The question mark seems to be on everything now - ingredient or not. I'm afraid to sell anything :-)

[CynthiaSue]

I suppose I may end up getting the thai and milk facility later, but it looks like they would be alot of work keeping filled. I am thinking I have too many facilities now as it takes hours to fill them and I can't afford all those loaders. Guess I shouldn't fill them daily.

[SunnyD]

if you had put it in Storage then it would of been found in 'Facilities" in your storage items.. i did that before and ended up buying a second also.. that hurts when they are FC items for sure...

[lollipopthebunny]

Thank you for the update! I like the look of the new facilities also!:)

[SunnyD]

i have been trying to load the facility manager for like an hour or sooo.. just not having any luck.. grrr did all the normal tricks still not having luck... will be back later on before i take the sledge hammer to my pc lol

[1fritz]

Really like the new facilities...... Bought all of them.....Like the idea that the new dairy plant requires the use of trees.... Now to make it perfect Let us rotate the trains.

Thanks

Fritz

[susme48]

Whee....the wait is over!! (did not plant stars....so no prob there....tamarinds and durians go into storage, unless I run out of room like once before...lol)....but way to go...love it!!

[Grumpa]

Don't worry about me, Grumpa, this grammy only prints the truth after I check it out. Was trying to bring up the farm and it was just sitting on loading user for a while, refreshed, was the same, then it came up, check my store and their they was.

So grammy was saved from the mob by slow loading. :eek:

Strange I thought they were a lynch mob not a firing squad. ;)

[StoneFace]

Well, I guess it won't drain the milk supply... it does not use any

[ghostkitten]

i have been trying to load the facility manager for like an hour or sooo.. just not having any luck.. grrr did all the normal tricks still not having luck... will be back later on before i take the sledge hammer to my pc lol

Ive been trying for 3 days..No luck..:eek:...Just about ready to throw in the towel like many of my neighbors.....:(

[Audrey45]

just got the new restaurant and factory and the milk plant and nursing home already have them loaded as far as I could go............. Thanks Dev love it all

[SunnyD]

Ive been trying for 3 days..No luck..:eek:...Just about ready to throw in the towel like many of my neighbors.....:(

i tried to empty cache and temp files all that stuff can't load on IE or chrome can't load facilities if i have them on view and click on them to load them.. eeekkkk only just started since the update this evening so hoping it will clear up.. sorry it is messing up on you too Kitten

[ftjill]

The cashew nuts are in the non-ingredients section in the Storage. Almost sold them! Please move them out of the non-ingredients.

Thanks for the new stuff! Really like the look of the Thai Restaurant! :)



Thanks Tony D for explaining the difference...

Please Take More Naps..LOL:D

[kahra01]

Hi Tony D, was wondering if you can clear something up for me please. Since the release this morning, Ive noticed that when i go to the market to sell, there is a "?" mark next to everything in the "facilities" filter, when i thought it used to be that only the things needed for facs had the "?" and the non required things didnt have one, hence how we knew at a glance what we could safely sell, rather than having to sift through the non ingriendient filter. Has something changed or is it a glitchy thing? Thanks :)

[FarmerMcLashwood]

My Husband is having a problem with one of the new facilities.
He bought all 4...... 3 have loaded with no problems..... the 4th just won't.
He has check each ingredient needed for each bit of the facility and he has loads in storage.... more than enough to fill it.... but it won't........ either through the facility manager or by itself.... even tried to fill it manually instead of load it all..... nil, nothing, nada.... Its the Nursing Home facility.
He's cleared the cache etc., closed the computer down, restarted it.... still nothing.
Put the facility into storage and put it out on another farm... still not recognizing that he has the ingredients.
Any idea what he can try next?

[Tony D]

[FarmerWitch]

Thanks so much for the new buildings they are awesome

[procyak]

I agree with driverdave... We have opted to spend the farmcash to upgrade to the better tools since the beginning... I think that it should be the same as all the other tools... Better still, For Once, if we spent the money and bought all the tools to the highest level of that tool, maybe we get a chance to buy the next level tool for coins instead of cash... just my idea, but if I spent farmcash to get level 5 tools like everyone else has, why then can those that have not paid the money get to buy level 6 tools for little farmcash????

[kahra01]

Hi, we have advised the developers of this and are waiting to hear back from them.

Thanks Tony! Had me confused there for a while lol :)

[marwahr55]

Couldn't play with FT yesterday so it was such a nice surprise to see that the Devs finally made a decision and hired a Chef for the Thai Restaurant and got a Nursing Home Director too! Thanks for the additional facilities, now if we could only get some little people to put in our FT farms and cities. :)

[Deborah1979]

Hi, we have advised the developers of this and are waiting to hear back from them.

My Non-ingredients are also showing with question marks. Just wanted to let you know to pass along to the devs.
However, I am a hoarder :eek: LOL and it appears that only products and ingredients are showing the question mark. None of the plants or trees (like acorn squash, alfalfa, durian trees, etc.) have the question mark.
Hope the info helps.

[Ellen Betty Nelson]

I do love this game. And thank the developers for it, and all of their hard work. [For even trying to keep some of us happy!]
It does take me time to understand the possibilities of the new items, so In that way I think them telling us a little of what is upcoming is good. But I try not to paint much of a picture of what is coming, mainly so I won't be dissappointed if it doesn't turn up like I was thinking it would be. Most of the time I am very pleased when I get the newer things and learn how they work.
I was surprised that the trains actually had a job to do! Thanks for that nice touch! And Yes, I did fuss that that was too much, but I went to work and 'found' the $ somewhere and got the train cars.

However, I do have a major gripe with the game. Most of the times when I hire someone to harvest trees for me, they only do part of them. Now I realize that some of the trees are difficult to harvest without missing some, but there should be a way that they can change color or something when they are ready for harvest. And that then would show me which ones the workers didn't harvest. Some of the trees like the cherries and apples and oranges do show very well, but the people I hire even miss a lot of them. That makes me get upset and do it myself for a few times. Lots of times I will anyway, but it would make it nice if I could see a difference in the trees after they are harvested.
Yes, I know that if I run the harvester over them, it will highlight the trees needing harvesting, but that is the only way to know for sure if they have been harvested. I am talking about maybe a highlighted color or something for a whole field of certain trees that have not been harvested.
Wonder if anyone else has this same problem?
Thanks again for the game.

[carolann43]

When I do someone's trees, I scan the trees several times to see if I missed any. Maybe the person your hiring is trying to do them too fast. As they say.........haste makes waste...............

[hurican]

With the new facilities requireing more meat an chicken ........ i request you increase the meat an chicken deliveries, i have 14 trucks ......... those 2 run out in 2 days ........
Love the game ....... trains are great!

[ImajeanB]

Thank you Angel7 !! ;)

Well said Angel7....I am so tired of hearing all the negtivity. If I listened to it I would stop playing but I prefer to ignore them and just enjoy my farms!

well here is my view on trains. i like them its a nice add on to an already great game but i can see it ruining it if they go to far with them. why buy facilities when you can buy a train, as long as facilities stay important and you still need to plan for basic resources its a good add on. once you start to leave the old facilities then you lose a lot of the fun. (EG: why buy a rubber factory when you can get a train to do it for you, you then lose the uses for trees why bother getting them). If you carry on down this road you will start to lose a lot of the fun. As of this moment they in my view haven't gone too far and is great for the game just be careful.

I would just like to say thanks for the great game over the years please carry on the good work. :)

[TerriFlynn]

Ever since the new facilities last night, it is next to impossible to farm (harvest, plow and plant) and to use the facility manager if you can get it to load. Also, harvesting the animals. I sat waiting 13 minutes to just see one dairy harvested! Have spent half hour using the h/p/p 6x6 on one farm. Please fix this!

[debcorley]

got the new ones in storage :) now want to know when we're getting the rest of the farm extensions and farm 15 and new levels ??? can't wait !! :D

You know, I have been playing this game for more than 3 years so you know I am addicted to the game. However, I will tell you that I have talked to MANY people who are really upset with the trains. First of all, they are much too expensive. Secondly, and probably most important, it doesn't give you anything you really need that you can't get any other way. For instance, why doesn't it give you what you really need like milk, eggs, sheep and llama wool, and all of the other animal products for instance? And lastly, it only works half way...you put out a tool that that was not ready to be distributed. As far as I am concerned, I will NOT buy anything else with farm cash until you make this right. The trains are a rip-off and I wish I could get my farm cash back! If you want to make a tool that is worth that kind of money, then make more one-click tools like one click to harvest, one click to plant, one-click to plow. Come on guys, this is a great game and the last year it has really been going down hill. It is all about money now.

[Fred1716]

i agree with you completely.
i have spent verry litle on this game up till 2 yrs ago when the cost factor went too high and i wont spend 1 more dime on this game and regret what i spent up till that point until the game is fixed but i wouldnt hold my breath cause i dont see it getting fixed, i have even put in suggestions in the last 6 months that were ignored and brushed under the carpet cause i havent seen them and dont plan to.

Kataltay - tyvm for your comments. To date, anytime i voice how i feel about what is going on, my comments get deleted. All that demonstates to me is the disrespect and disregard for the "paying" customers as you put it. With that said - any business with poor ethics would not last in the real business world.

Farm 15 is due in the Next Release, that should be in 2 or 3 weeks, that is just a guess on when the Next Release will be.

I agree with all you have said, none of the products provided by the train are, in my view "high demand products". I guess the reason they would not provide eggs, milk etc by the train, they want us to but the 5FC animals. Happy Farming

The New facilities do use these products. I for one was not going to buy the train since I had no problems with these items.

Silly me got the new facilities and took a shot in my supply of these items. I don't want to keep adding facilities to make the current items and I don't want to burn up my crops to make these items. The train will help out, granted I wish that the boost was working and I knew what it would do. Am hoping that it is like the docking station and speeds up the time.

[cjbraswell]

i for one am grateful for the trains. i see it as not what the trains can do for you, but how you can utilize them. the example i will give is one i put into use last night. one of the trains brings you orange pigment. since i have recently run low on carrots, i can now get my orange pigment from the train, and use my carrots in other areas.

you just have to do some calculations, and use the trains to your benefit, just as you have learned how to use the belt bonuses and ingredient request to your benefit.

thanks Raul and all who are responsible for bring us such a great game!

[Franny2]

THANKS, DEVS!! I love the new upgrades and new facilities!! My dispatched train has not yet arrived but am looking forward to seeing the outcome of that.
Now, anxiously awaiting farm 15...

Storage ........ can anyone tell me why we have a green box in the upper right corner of all the non ingrediants.

When we were told that the trains took 7 days to arrive back I thought they meant 7 FT days... which would make it 5.8 days..... today is my day actually 6. so they must mean 7 ACTUAL days l ol

[L.A.Bob]

I cannot find the thread that covers this. I am having trouble loading the farms it is very slow and all work must be finished on a farm before the next farm that I want move to will load. Also Loading the Facilities is slow (I have all tools) and actions must be completed in the loading of the facilities before I can do anything else. Another speed issue is when my neighbors try to work my facilities they are slow to load or will not load at all. I have cleared the cash and all the temp files, defraged and shut down my computer and there is no improvement. This all started when the new facilities were just released a few days ago. Thanks for your time.

Hi there,

Did you also restart your router after doing those?
You might benefit from also updating flash player for the browser that you use.

Have you tried running FT on another browser to see if the problem persists there?

Neighbours having issues, would depend on their own comp capabilities, without a link to your farm I can't be sure if it could be down to farm size, or the amount of detail you have on those farms.

If you want to test your connection to FB and FT servers here's the link to that.......

[meacara]

Switching to the old version of flash player helps (I have a 64 bit system), but at the same time now that everything is released the speed of the game isn't back to what it was. If others are saying they are having problems on his farms with working the facilities, one would figure that means the slowness is ABNORMAL. Therefore unless he put a ton of **** on all his facility-containing farms, I doubt that's the issue. Just saying.

[L.A.Bob]

The slowness started before I added the three new facilities for both me and my neighbors I did the updates suggested and it is a little faster for me but there is some loading issues when I worked for a neighbor he has 11 facilities on one farm and 7 on another farm that is all that he has and I had to reload several facilities to work them. I updated the flash player, updated the browser (Mozilla Firefox), updated CCleaner, Updated Dergaggler, I cleared the browser cash, ran CCleaner, ran Defraggler, shutdown the computer, reset the router, restarted the computer and reloaded Farm Town. It is faster but still not as fast as it has been in the past. Thanks

[Docperk]

Hey DEVs I will make a deal with you. You make where I can select different items in same type facility and semi and I will spend more FC buying another semi and facilities. Like I need more chicken but I am not going to buy another semi if I cannot select just chicken in it. I have 100,000s of everything else. Or I guess you could just up the delivery of the chicken... :)

The only thing that you can not select just one item is the train. The facilities and the semi's you can select a single item to start or several items or all of the items that the facility or semi has. You do not have to start all in the facilities or semi. For example in the dairy if you are short cheese you can start just cheese and you said you need chicken open up the semi and just start the chicken, you do not need to start all the items.

You missed what I was saying. I have other semis if I buy another one and unselect everyting but 1 item in it, it will also unselect all items but that 1 items in all the rest. We should be able to select different items is same kind of facility or semi on different farms.

[JW2009]

It's the same thing in facilties, i just wanted to make bread in the bakery so i bought a second one on a different farm and just selected bread, and the other one also only had bread selected after. so just sold the bakery since i dint want to produce everything - happy farming You missed what I was saying.

I understand what you are saying and if u have to open up the truck just to order the chicken then it defeats the purpose of START/Load all tools :)The only thing that you can not select just one item is the train.

'T' Day. 8 more hours and i get to unload my train for the first time. Hoping all goes well and I can see how much product the train has picked up.

[bayoubes]

Hi there,

We have informed the developers of this issue and are waiting to hear back from them.

The devs also have belts on the service facilities that was not there before, however they don't increase, just shows what the belt is for the products in the service facility. The non-ingred box is empty, my guess is they are trying to save time down the road. While they are coding for any new facility, someone can go in and do the data entry for the products. Sooner or later, all those products will be used in a facility.

[jcassemjr]

I have an issue with the trains....

My train said it was ready for me to unload, so I clicked unload. I didn't dispatch the train right away, because I wanted to move the train. I haven't been able to click on the train to move it with the little "hand" icon from the extended tool bar, and there is no "Move" option in the menu when you click on the train engine or box cars. So I decided it wasn't that important to move.

But now when I open the train, my "Dispatch" button is greyed out, and I double checked any there are no products in process.

Is anyone else having any issues with a second dispatch or moving their train?

I have done all of the usual items before posting: Cleared Cache, Cleared Macromedia files, logged out, shut down, restarted router....

[bvoyce]

Usually somewhere around the time the updates happen FT works a little funny for me for a while. I usually just wait it out knowing it will be fixed shortly. It has never lasted this long though.

I'm on day 3 of a very slow farm now. Working others factories it hesitates before opening the next factory and sometimes can't load it at all. Everything I do there is a hesitation between clicking and it happening. Filling my own factories is delayed reaction. Working harvest jobs also takes forever.

I have made sure it wasn't my computer. I've cleared the cache and everything. I am still having this problem. I do not have the trains, but I did get the new facilities.

[sjgannon]

I am having the same problem as jcasssemjr. Unloaded my train and now can't dispatch it.

I had no problems unloading... I then put it storage and moved it to another farm... then successfully dispatched it again.

So the first truck would have everything checked. The second one would just have leather or whatever he said he runs out of. The checking mechanism makes it so ALL your identical facilities have the SAME items checked. He would like to see each facility have it's own set of checked items.

and the only way to achieve that is to load those facilitys that he only wants to make certain thigs in ...manually ...maybe the first one or 2 might be load / order all and the subsequent ones he will need to do manually and only load / start / order those things that he wants

Dunno if my way of working will suit this problem ?
My way is to load everything until a set stock level is reached, which in my case is 500,000. I then untick the item that has reached the figure until the level drops to 100,000, then I tick it again.

Why won't my train work a second trip? Attached properly, all facilities on farm 3 with it, ran great the first time. Now nothing. No choices available, all faded or not offered.

Hi, we have advised the developers of this and are waiting to hear back from them.

I don't think the devs have responded to this yet, but I am just double checking to see if the mods have heard anything about the Question Marks attached to all of the ingredients and products in the "Non-Ingredient" section?
I just checked on mine and the crops and trees do not seem to be affected.

Please let us know when you can!
Thanks so much.
