New Release -- October 26th, 2012

[maggiel29]

Ok just found a problem. I was trying to buy sheep and llamas for a new shed but when I go to place the animal on the farm they disappear but my coins are taken. Don't know how long this has been happening since I haven't bought animals in quite awhile., so don't know if this is from this update or before.

Try selecting to hide everything - sometimes they hide under things.

Try hiding everything on the farm and see if they are under the buildings. Also look in your storage and see if they wound up there.

Response to New Releases 7. Random pop-up... I recently visited all my neighbors (I am level 304 and still 1500 visits away from the Trophy) and noted some confusing things: 1) I no longer get credit for visiting each neighbor (only some of them), 2) There is no longer a pop-up dialog requesting help when I get to the farm (usually indicating that the farm finished loading on my REALLY SLOW INTERNET CONNECTION), 3) Many of my Level 50 and below neighbor's Names disappear and become "Friend" upon visiting - this causes lots of confusion when trying to determine which neighbor I have visited and not because they randomly reorder also, 4) Many of my Level 70 and below neighbors no longer have items on their farm, just a green lot. I can't visit my neighbors every day because it takes approximately 1 hour to cycle through all 50 of them (again, really slow internet connection) and I don't have the time. Is there something I need to do on my end to fix the neighbor dialogs? (I use Chrome, Firefox, and MSIE (only when I want to punish myself). R/ Myna

Can anyone help? I've searched everywhere and can't find the answer. When I go to Marketplace for whatever reason, I see people with red/pink/green names- what does this mean since mine is only ever grey? Thanks in advance

Okay still a glitch because I have to reload the game before they appear. I have everything hid when I do animals because they can hide from where you put them and they were not in storage otherwise they would not appear again after reloading the game. Just bought 120 llamas and have reloaded the game numerous times, went to FB and back to the game and proper farm and the llamas still are not showing up. It is farm 14.

[Jean's Farm]

Regarding the pop up boxes saying "enquening anything" is not because you purchased the 8X8. It happens to me all the time even at my own farms and I only have the 5X5's. But it has gotten worse since the new release. :)

When you go to the marketplace you can change your status to tell people what you are there for, next time you are there just click on your avatar and click on change status and you will see all of the choices.

Hi-- It means that they are in the marketplace for different reasons. Maybe they are there because they want to work, or they want to hire, etc. Each color means something different.

Just click on yourself when you're in the marketplace, and select "Change Status Message" and you'll see all the colors available.

If you get to a neighbor whose farm is just a green lot then they have not played for a long time and their farm has been archived. If it says Friend then they have left Facebook as well.
The only pop up that they removed is the one you used to get to go to a neighbors farm when you started up Farm Town, not the ones where you actually go to their farms and get the pop up. If you are not getting a pop up for them then either you have already visited them within the last day or it would be one of those who are no longer playing mentioned above.

Not saying it's the cause, but you have a lot of flowers on that farm. That in itself is not a problem, but you have layered quite a few trees over the flowers, and you have trees running through your buildings. Some of the trees intercept the anchor points for some buildings. On the bright side, you haven't layered the flowers over crops! Still, even before dumping 120 animals on top of what's there you're already making Flash work hard to render your farm.

Might not cure your problem, but I think you'd be doing yourself a favour if you moved the trees off that farm.

[Nina Sage]

I invested in the new 8x8 combine, added it to my storage, verified it is in storage, yet, when I am hired to H&P at someone's farm, and select the new combine, it tells me I must buy one and add it to storage, and I can only access the purple one :(

Take it from storage and put it on your farm. Exit the game entirely and go back to FB. When you come back into the game, put the 8x8 back in storage and you should be able to use it.

[amazinggrace1]

I am able to upgrade farms 1,2 and 3 to 32x32, but I am not able to upgrade farms 4 and 5 to 32x32.

[Gregh]

Have you rearranged your farms? You can only upgrade your original farms 1-5. On the bright side, you can upgrade those farms no matter where you have moved them to.

I have a question about you said that has been archived. Does that mean if they come to start playing again do they get their farm back? if so does it just happen or do they have to request? Just curious.

[Gregh]

If they start playing again their farm will be unarchived just as it was.

[Docperk]

Not sure what the percentage is, or whether it is affected by fertilizer or not... but the increase in inventory was WAY more than the actual number harvested. I have seen others post that they get a lot more "bonus" if they hire a stranger in the market.

The devs did this to encourage more of us to use workers at the market.

That is all fine and good ... IF.... the workers actually work. I used strangers later, on other crops, and some would harvest, then plow (no combine, but this is okay with me)... some would do part of the job and quit (or perhaps were kicked off), some would just grab some crop randomly, and leave.

so... the bonus is nice... but it depends on the worker. So far, some are worthless.


.

Yeah, I frequently have this problem because I don't have many neighbors that want to work so I am stuck with either doing it myself or hiring out of the market which usually means I end up finishing it myself or making several trips to the market. Sometimes I think it might be easier just to hire one person per field. hmm wonder if that increase the bonuses, hiring many as apposed to one. Not to work on the same field but different fields or would that slow things down to much.

[maggiel29]

Ok The dimmer again - using the green hand to move people - it hides things that cant be moved - i.e. the plots of land - so I cant see clearly to put the people down on the fields.
Sorry to moan - I do like it but there is a litle tweaking maybe needed?
To recap
the harvester doesnt hide the trees or flowers, the seeder doesnt hide anything and the hand hides fields. Also where there are multiple layers of trees they obscure things behind them - like flowers planted in between for example
Just in case you think otherwise - I honestly love this tool - just trouble shooting.

[Gregh]

As has been pointed out, you can turn the dimmer off to do something, and turn it back on afterwards. :) :rolleyes:

I was just happy to find someone else who hates having to turn dimming off and on just to do routine things. :) It's a great new feature but some of the side effects are irritating.

Me too - doesnt seem many have noticed - and I still have to turn off trees to get at some crops and trees to get at some flowers because the "dim" isnt transparent enough when you have a clump of trees.

We are the Borg, you will be assimilated, your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

I like things to work - but not many others seem to have noticed - especially the seeder not hiding anything - maybe folks use the combines all the time

[maclean47]

I just don't think its right bring out new update and you haven't fix PROBLEM that everyone has .FT make the farm bigger and players put items on the farms , then you move slow or you can't see other players on your farms .I think that what you all need to work on ,because am not going to spend one dollar on this game til you all fix this problem !

This is not a fault in the game. If this is not the case for you please let us know. The Developers have warned that expanding farms past 24 x 24 can result in the game slowing down.

[earlgray]

As others have noted, the dimming function does not hide anything when the seeders are used. There is no good reason for this, since you can only seed plowed fields, so please can this be fixed so that everything besides plowed fields is dimmed when a seeding tool is selected? The dimming function is such a big help!

[Tony D]

Hi, the Developers are aware that the seeder does not activate the dimming function. They may introduce this in the future.

[ImajeanB]

All I have to say is to praise all of you devs for the excellent job you are doing! The Dim Out option is the neatest thing since the turbo boat!!! Love it all! Thanks again for making a fun game the best game going!!!!!

[Freddie Freefarmer]

5. Dim Out Non Relevant Items for Tools: This is a new preference in the Preference Window. Whenever you select a tool, items that are not relevant to that tool will be dimmed out so that you can have easier access to the items that you're actually going to work on. For example when you select the harvest tool you will only see harvestable items. When you select the fishing rod you will only see water items with grown fish on them. This will work when you are farming on your farms or other people farms.

--Raul

Great feature!
Now we just gotta clean it up?

Yes, please, make the seeder work too!
Also, if it's not too much trouble, could you do the same for the Watering Can?

[maggiel29]

Hi, the Developers are aware that the seeder does not activate the dimming function. They may introduce this in the future.

Its a cunning plan - the combines both activate the dimmer switch

[Russ Grove]

I debated on whether to comment or not. Yes I have stacked fields, yes I put a lot of trees on top of these fields. I need them to support all the facilities I have bought over the years. This last release has made harvesting trees so slow that the game is essentially unplayable. If performance can not be improved I have no choice but to find another game to occupy my time and take my money. Either the performance needs to be improved or the yield of crops and trees need to be increased so it does not take so much to support facilities. The number of facilities continues to increase, but the yield stays the same. It takes more and more crops, trees and flowers to support the facilities. If slashkey does not want players like me then let me know and I will be gone. The same is true of my neighbors, many who have recently stopped playing. I have noticed that the number of people playing farmtown is decreasing based on the statistics reported by AppData. I suspect it is the performance problems. I really do not want to hear from all those who berate people who have farms like mine. I just want to let the developers know that the problem of performance for longterm players is critical.

Farm Town Devs:
I just wanted to take a minute to THANK YOU for this update. Just this one simple thing has made working my neighbors' farms, and my own farms, so much easier and pleasant. Out of all of the updates I can remember, this one is by far my all-time favorite. Thank you SO very much for this!!!!

[sandra.l.huffman]

I am on farm 1 and go to the realtors office and it says that i already have all of the upgrades, so when it the 32x32 coming out, I though they had already added it to the game and I tried to reload the game to make sure that the latest one loaded. I have cleared my cache, history, and the memcache. Still no farm 1 upgrade to 32x32.

hiiiiii thank you so much for all new Tooles love the 8x8 the Grid holds perfectly and glides over any farm staked or other wises big or small it fits tight .... i was amazed at how few clicks it took to complete the farm. I thank you for that 8*)..... I am having a similar problem as kitt it wont let me upgrade 2.. says i already have it.... i may have moving farms problems.. i just don't know...
thank you as always for the great work... and thank you for giving my neighbor enough cash to replace a gift that got lost in his storage... thank you for that.. 8*)

Only the original farms 1 - 5 can be upgraded. If you have used the Farm Selector Manager to move farms around and changed which farm is in the #2 spot then you cannot upgrade that one. Even if you move the locations of the farms they retain their original numbers in the data.
You would need to either move them back to the original locations or figure out where you moved #2 and upgrade it.

I've been playing FT since June 2009. I have never had any layered fields, or stacked fields, or fields with trees on them.

I have lot of factories (over 4 each of quite a few), and services (over 2 each of many), the combined total is over 150, I lost count, hehe, but I don't have any problems with supply shortages due to ruthless data management and disciplined crops/production management.

I do have both mines and an oil pump on each of my 16 farms, plus the orange poo spreader, and red sprinkler.

1 have one farm at 32 x 32, seven more at 30 x 30 and the remainder at 26 x 26. They all load a great deal quicker than most of my neighbours who stack/layer fields and scrunch trees/buildings.

I don't have an issue with those who do stack or layer, but to blame Slashkey for poor performance due to the way some people overload their farms, is a little unfair and unwarranted.

Layering/stacking will always adversely affect your game's performance due to the nature of what you're doing, i.e. overloading data, and the solution for that shouldn't have to be all down to Slashkey, when a quicker fix is in your own hands....

Well said, Frank!!! :)

The problems being experienced by those who stack and put facs and trees and flowers on top of their fields are just asking for problems. It is not Slashkey's job to make your performance better when you choose to play the game your way instead of how it's supposed to be played.

I do have stacked fields but I do not have anything on top of the fields.

I have no problem maxing my facs out when I post them which is usually once maybe twice a week.

If you are doing all the stacking and putting stuff on top of that to be number one in the game.....tell me. What is the prize you are winning for being #1??? :confused:

Final verdict after trialing out the 'bonus' crops update.

Have made an extra effort in the market this week trying to take advantage of this feature and except for the bigger, standard crops, it's just not worth the hassle or head-ache. If you luck out while in the market hiring harvesters and manage to get someone to do your flowers or trees too then that's a bonus ... otherwise it's easier to do them yourself or let neighbors do them if they're free.

I tried to pedal this new update to my friends and neighbors too and they were either disinterested or absolutely not having a bar of the market-place regardless.

I read the hiring and hiring practices thread yesterday and see the bad reputation of the market-place is well deserved and wide-spread. It also shows it's an ongoing problem the devs must be well aware of and in hindsight this attempted fix, to me, is like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound.

Looking forward to a better solution being found for this problem.

I agree with the rep on market place but sorry that is where I get most of my workers from. I still think it would be a good idea to the worker a bonus too based on the percentage of the job they complete of what they are hired to do. If they complete 100% of the job they get a 100% of the bonus if they only do 50% that is they get. IF they don't do that much of the job I don't think they should get anything. And the bonus should be worthwhile and on top of what the hirer gets. Just my 2 cents. And can we get a Donald Trump option so we can fire someone? Course by the time I wish I could fire someone they are usually long gone.

- Bug showing seasonal decorations in Store when using Search Bar fixed

Why would you correct a bug that was something we have been asking for? Seasonal/holiday items SHOULD be able to be purchased at any time. Very disappointed in this.

[Rendezvous Ranch]

A BIG "Thank you", for moving the 'Enqueueing Box' over to the right. Now, I have more space to WORK while its doing it's thing. BRAVO!

Better still, is if you can make it 'transparent' or have it gone forever, that would be nice. We really don't care to see every little thing about what the software (game) is doing, or waiting for, we just want to PLAY it.


When HIRED BY SOMEONE IN THE MARKETPLACE, PUT THE CROPS 'TO BE WORKED ON' into the 'ENQUEUEING String' together while 'LOADING' the farm, so we don't have to WAIT FOR IT when we get there to harvest.

It pops up for every crop that sits on the farm and can be a real 'pain in the neck' to wait for, if there's a variety of crops to harvest.





SOWING SEEDS - (Advanced Farmers)

For the thousands of farmers who are at level 385, when we plant, there's a dialogue which pops up telling us that "SEEDS CAN ONLY BE PLANTED ON PLOWED FIELDS"; Seriously, we already know by now, that they can't be planted elsewhere.

So please 'classify' this transparent popup dialogue as a 'Tool Tip' and put it under the Wrench in the Control Panel and let us have the option to TURN-OFF incessant 'caution' warnings as well as the Enqueueing Popup.

Or, perhaps you can turn them off all together when we have reached a certain level in the game, like say...level 250 or something like that, as they consume unnecessary bandwidth that make other processes lag, or take longer to perform.


Keep the variety of products coming and streamline the software code. Thanks again. :)

I tried hiring strangers from the market. The reason I stopped was that no one has said thank you. I don't think that's too much to ask. They quit without finishing and not telling me. I thought things might have changed, but they have not. I'm more than willing to hire a stranger, but do expect good manners and if they find it's too much work, to let me know. I would like to hire strangers. I was once a newbie. My farm will be difficult to work without the proper tools, so if you find it's too much let me know. Thank you. Send me a pm and I'll check back later.

I hope this is the right place for this but I am having an ongoing problem with working facilities of friends

Ever since thye mayor got involved ( which I think is great) every so often for a period of a few days he pops up when I start with the oops I have already done these today message.. I( have checked everything but today noticed it seems to start just after dispatching the train and it hapens for a few days stopping me working friends posts

I( have cleared everything as suggested but no success,, any suggestions pls?

I ALWAYS say "thank you!" and you'll find that this is true of many of us. As for people quitting before they finish, most often that happens because people get booted from farms and do not know how to get back to their employer's farm to ask for a rehire.

[Qivis]

I love the new dimming feature as I suggested something like it over a year ago! With most of my farms covered in trees and flowers it is great to be able to harvest and chop what is ready without wasting time trying to find out the status of things. Although I do have too much to leave everything on while working them, the differentiation alone makes the feature great! (Uh oh. 146 million points almost. Maybe I should try some actual designing now?)

[ronnig65]

I don't know where else to put this, Tony, but you always seem to be able to find answers to things. On November 1st, when I logged into FT, I found that I had lost 14 FC overnight. I did not buy anything for FC, and, like many others, have been working my butt off to gain levels to earn the cash. It has taken months to earn them, and they just disappeared. I'm on a VERY limited budget and cannot afford to buy anything for real money. Please check for me, please.

why are part of the seasonal items showing up when i have them turned off?

I don't understand why it takes so very long to load someone's farm when hired in the marketplace. I am referring to, going from the first farm to the next, after the job is done...

My farm is loaded at 9X his was 3X layered, but my farm doesn't even come close to taking as long as his to load. What gives? None of his farms have animals outside too.

The EXTREMELY LONG LOADING DELAYS HAPPEN WITH THE 8X8 COMBINE ON FARMS THAT ARE NOT LAYERED as well.

When I use the Standard 1X scythe, there's no loading issues at all, and I PAID in US CURRENCY to get every tool required to obtain the 8X8 combine/harvest/plant!

I am really sick and tired of hoping for some promising performance results because it is literally a pain in the azz to work for people in the marketplace with the 8X8 combine. The tool works like it's supposed to, it might be sixty-four times faster, but who the hell wants to wait 3-5 minutes going from one farm to the next?

Will the future Water Sprinkler make the crops grow ten-times faster than it takes to harvest them?

[Docperk]

You know what I think? Dimmer Tool + Turbo Boat best combination EVER! You click on the water and it totally disappears instantly. Would be nice if the trees, crops and flowers would this.

My trees and flowers do dim when I use my harvest tools on them, makes it a lot easier to see trees that I have missed.

[Satis]

You know what I think? Dimmer Tool + Turbo Boat best combination EVER! You click on the water and it totally disappears instantly.

I wholeheartedly agree. I used to hate, hate, hate fishing. Now I find it very soothing and satisfying.

The best introductions since we got the plough that allowed you to dig more than one field at a time -- and that was pretty magical.

[Docperk]

My trees and flowers do dim when I use my harvest tools on them, makes it a lot easier to see trees that I have missed.

Yes it does work too, but you still have wait for avatar to walk to each one before it to dim, with the fishing as soon as you click on it with the turbo boat its gone, you don't have all the items waiting on the avatar to clear them. It sill like it I am just saying as with the turbo boat it could be better. :)

The issue about seasonal items not being hidden when in my list it is unchecked, has affected my farms, also I cant get some gifts except 30 at a time.Hi, the developers are aware of the problem with some decorations not hiding. What do you mean by you can only get some gifts 30 at a time ?

I just had to say that I've just tried the Dim Out Non Relevant Items - WOW! This is awesome and saves so much time - no more searching for that lone tree that still needs harvested..... Thank you so much and it was a free option too which makes it even better!

To those of you who have not tried this option under your wrench - it takes a minute or two to get used to, thereafter, you will never work without it again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[roz1972]

I tried hiring strangers from the market. The reason I stopped was that no one has said thank you. I don't think that's too much to ask. They quit without finishing and not telling me. I thought things might have changed, but they have not. I'm more than willing to hire a stranger, but do expect good manners and if they find it's too much work, to let me know. I would like to hire strangers. I was once a newbie. My farm will be difficult to work without the proper tools, so if you find it's too much let me know. Thank you. Send me a pm and I'll check back later.

i always say thankyou at the end in pm message and if for any reason i cant finish i let them know ...what annoys me is that if for whatever reason i get booted i cant find my way back to let the person know ,i find if i go regulalrly to the market place to work i tend to now get the regular employers so i guess i have got a good rep now . perhaps you could do that if you find someone good make a note somewhere so you can hire them another time ....we are not all bad employees

Thank you so much for the answer so quickly, Taz. I have followed your directions and will be patient...I've learned to do that lately:) This IS the first time I'v really had any problems with FT though and LOVE the game. I am having trouble sending gifts right now, but this has happened before so I suppose it is just a glitch again, right? Thanks again..

[MANHCTFL]

I have been unable to work my farms this evening because of the slowness...checked to see if I had any new software installs today, & sure enough, had a flash plugin download dated 11/5.....that's most likely the cause of my problems & will just have to wait for a fix...

[sandra.l.huffman]

thank you Taz...... i hope that is all it is... i cant plant my own farm my neighbors cant help it go faster the same for them heoping or at home ....it has never been like this ..20 sec per sq and she stops before going to the next grid

[lynwoo60]

Ok this slowness of planting/seeding has been going on all day here in australia. has been happeneing for 9 hrs now. have done everything possible and still the same so it is not the traffic at all it is the game. so please fix it. it would be nice for it to fixed when i get home from being away all tomorrow. i have put to much time and money into this game to quit but sheez this is just the worst. and only happened since the thanksgiving update. another thing why did you fix that bug where we could buy any seasonal items in the store as i loved that and would like it back the way it was. so please devs please get slashkey to fix this latest problem or else you will have a lot leave because of it.

[KnightRider]

Mine was going very slow and I went and updated my Java and it has sped up a lot, I didn't think any part of Farm Town has to do with Java, I know it uses the flash player, but it did help a lot, it is going a lot faster now.

[maggiel29]

It is very very slow - havent seen it this slow for a long long time. Even selecting a tool takes a while before it loads. I updated my Java too Kitt but it hasnt helped as well as trying everything else. I see Chrome has updated with a new taskbar - perhaps the Flash player has as well.
Just a case of being patient I guess and waiting for it to resolve itself. These things usually do.

What is different about your task bar, I don't see any difference with mine and it says my chrome is up to date, my flash player shows it is up to date also. I had a hard time changing tools when I was on a farm, I would select like the green hand and it took like 2 seconds before the extended tool box vanished and I had the green hand, now it does it almost instantly.

Thats still happening with my tools. I select the combine - doesnt matter which size and it waits 5 seconds I counted - I know thats not much but it isnt instant. It also takes ages to come up with the field highlighted grid. My avatar is zooming along but takes ages to do the actual work. Working facilites on others farms is fine but my facility manager takes ages to open as does the seeder menu although the store is fine.

I see what has happened on Chrome now - it has installed an "ask" toolbar without asking first! Gives silly games, the weather,and a link to CNN.

Go to your NEIGHBORS page on the menu running along the top of your farm screen. It's where you go to send neighbor invites. The "last active" date is right at the top of each neighbor's blue box.

Thank you

[Texas Belle]

Many great things in this new update, and the dimming option is my favourite. It makes working some farms an absolute breeze now!! And it also makes working some of my own a wonderfully easy task, no more having to hide trees to find flowers, or hiding flowers to find water, etc. Fantastic idea, this!!!!!!
Also, Thank You for bringing back the ability to buy multiple items without the first having to be fully loaded onto the farm. I had missed that since it was gone, and am thrilled that less time is now spent waiting for one tree, flower, etc to fully load before I can buy another.
Loving that our farms can go to 32x32 now, too!! (At least the first 5 so far). Makes me very happy, as it gives me another excuse to redecorate. Thank you for these expansions.

The 64x tools are going to be my one source of negative feedback. All these seeders, harvesters, planters and plows that we have had to buy with each size upgrade simply take up room in our storage, and we have been paying pretty heftily to stock our storage with tools we will never use, once we buy the ultimate combine. Is it possible, for future size upgrades, to give us a bit of a financial break on these tools?? 180 Farmcash is quite a lot, when really we all most likely only want the combine. And considering there are facilities in this update which cost Farmcash, and land expansions, unless farmers have billions and billions of coins (which I surely don't) which cost farmcash, this update can easily cost 250 farmcash.

I have no problem paying for the facilities and services, and never have. I also have managed to build up to owning the combines of past sizes, albeit not easily, and not in one fell swoop. It just would be great to get a bit of a break for buying them all.

When players expressed problems with funeral homes and items for them, our developers did a very sensitive and compassionate thing, and enabled these items to be disabled.

Would there be some of that compassion left over to listen to those of us who struggle financially, but love the game and remain loyal to it?

All in all I am very happy with this update, and have had no technical problems because of it. Kudos to the developers once again!! :D

It would be nice if even we could sell our old tools to make up for some FC to buy the new tools... I don't think its necessary to keep all those old ones on storage occupying space when we keep having new ones..
If you have the old one there should be a small FC charge for exchange for the old one, or even if they give 10FC for the old one, then the new one should only be 30FC which is reasonable... I simply cannot buy all of them at one time plus the facilities and if not enough coins also the expansions...
Think about devs and managers... some relief for the ones that have the old tools and want to have the new ones.

You need to keep the older tools in case you sell or lose the higher tools, so that they can be purchased again. So if you have the 6x6 harvester and you sell your 4x4 and 5x5, then you accidentally sell your 6x6 and the support team is nice and refund your FC to purchase another 6x6, you would have to purchase the 4x4, 5x5, and then the 6x6 again, if you have the old ones on a farm somewhere as decorations, then to purchase the 6x6 again all you would have to do is put the 4x4 and 5x5 back into storage. I have only my basic tools in storage that I need to be able to use, everything else is on my farms as decorations, which includes older tools, all of my start all, and store all tools.

The dim out does save time but something they did yesterday screwed the game up real bad. It takes forever now to work crops because it takes 1 second for every click of the mouse working crops. It was bad enough before having to wait for a slow avatar but now the clicker is screwed up, too.

[beverduster]

have they fixed the problem yet?

[trigg56]

Fix the game or give me my hundreds of dollars back. I can sit and look at the tv the same as i can "look' at my farms. You won't even give us an official comment. Farmtown has picked up a lot of new players in the past year because of being such a friendly game and lots to do, but i am very disappointed in the nonacknowledgement of these problems.

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for all the information supplied so far on issues with slowness.

The devs have requested more information......

Could you all let us know if you are using the "Dim out Non Relevant Items for Tools" and if you are could you try turning that feature off and see if it makes a difference. Please let us know if it does improve things for you.

Known Issues

- Game is very slow since Nov 5th for many people, we are currently working on it.

- We just went back to the version before Monday (but with the thanksgiving items added). Please provide feedback if your slowing issues have improved or not. Notice the Hiding Seasonal items bug is still present in this version.
Working again for me. Thanks Raul. :)

[Rob T]

Hi everyone

The devs have reverted the game back to the version before Monday, While this has fixed the game slowness while harvesting. You still have the Thanksgiving items but the hiding Seasonal items bug is now present again.

If you are still experiencing problems, please report them to the following thread http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=504374

Thankyou

[Gerry Smith]

My deepest thanks to all the Dev's and Moderators who helped fix the problems created on Nov 5th when they updated the game... I am flying again using my 8x8 tools and once again this games is fun! Still addicted to FT since June 2009!
Hugs from Gerry and Happy Thanksgiving to all! :)

[Janet 1]

I tried hiring strangers from the market. The reason I stopped was that no one has said thank you. I don't think that's too much to ask. They quit without finishing and not telling me. I thought things might have changed, but they have not. I'm more than willing to hire a stranger, but do expect good manners and if they find it's too much work, to let me know.

I used to spend ages in the market place if I wanted to hire someone because I would be looking for someone who said 'Work please' rather than 'Work.' Manners cost nothing but I used to wait that long it was quicker to just do the work myself. Apart from that it wasn't doing my eyes any good staring at the computer screen for so long. :eek:
At the moment I'm having a little break by not planting anything unless needed for a quest so I go looking for work in the market place sometimes. I always make a point of sending a 'Thank you' message after I've finished, but if I get kicked off a farm unfortunately there is no way of letting the person know why I've gone and I feel bad about that. Perhaps this is what happens when people quit without finishing?

[Deborah1979]

[WillowTreeFarm]

Hi, I also want to report that some of my buildings are showing up on my farms even though I have buildings turned off. This was not this way this morning, I just discovered it when I came on about 4:45 pm my time. My hubby just came to my farm and he does not see them. I am on WF10, using chrome and yes I cleared my cache. My speed for farming for others and planting for myself is normal, however, the forum is taking forever to load for me. It is my ice cream factory, ice cream shop, dairy factory, chocolate factory, that are showing on farms 1, 2 & 3. To add on... my train is transparent, though I do not have it clicked to be transparent. When I went to my hubby's farm to work I could see his ice cream shop on his 2nd farm but that was all, he also has his buildings turned off and he is seeing his ice cream shop also. He is on WF8. By the way, I do not own the 8x8 tools and I am using the dim feature which is working fine and is the greatest feature.

[onamission]

Just came back to say that loading the next farm while working is slow, also enqueueing then loading pop-ups taking ages to close. I've found that when it gets past 95% I can get rid of it by clicking the green man and then clicking back on my current tool.

Don't have to dodge that pop-up the whole time I'm on that farm, nice!

[lynwoo60]

A big thank you for the fix but I would like to report for your information that decorations like people and fences/dairy pant/ are visible even with the buildings and decorations hidden. another thing I noticed my train has turned transparent even though that is not ticked as well. This is jsut for your information as they are not worrying me at all. thankyou again for the fix on the h/p/p. Everyone have a great day and Happy Farming to all :)

[FarmerMcLashwood]

Just to let you know that its not slow anymore BUT the odd facility still showing up despite buildings being hidden also some Valentine, Easter and christmas decorations still showing despite hiding seasonal decorations.

Am using Chrome and on WF36

[cindyt755]

Fixes not working as of 11/08/12. Was working better before the latest fix.
Now decorations cannot be hidden or move or anything. Also some buildings are appearing. Help again please.

[spiritualpathways]

Thanks very much for the thanksgiving item and fixes Raul my seasonal items are no longer showing on my farms :D

[thunders storm]

Thanks for trying to fix the slowness of the game using the big tools for seeding and harvesting but......the Food Preserve Factory and the Dairy processing Plant are shown same for the fences (hedges) and the the seasonal items even in my preferences they are hidden :(

[Rhonda2]

Ok, yesterday morning all was pathetic on the game, by yesterday evening you actually had some things going good like OUR SPEED, today was good, this evening I come back to find seasonal items were fixed I cheered for joy, then realized Decorations was showing now when not suppose to be, Speed planting is at an OK point but not as good as it was yesterday evening, Loading from one farm to next is horrible again, See you almost had it right so please go back to the weeks before version, where we was all just fine. I cant deal with glitches and bug issues and **** its annoying to players and this is the very reason I quit playing Farmville by Zynga and blocked all Zynga games from my facebook gaming.

[max_river]

they are working on it and not all ways so easy. they can not snap there finger and everything be fix. dev keep trying yes it is anoying but they do listen to us players they are a lot better than some other games

[Molly Mew]

Thanks for the reports about the non-hiding buildings and other items. :) We'll send this on to the devs. Oh.. and especial thanks to those of you who provided farm links and'or server numbers.. it helps a lot when we're troubleshooting. :)

[StoneFace]

agree.....

but then all types of peeps come to play this game.... so.. all types of "satisfaction" with the game

Keep up the good work, devs.

[Wannabe#1]

I get this notice but the game plays the worst I've seen it what gives??

A new Farmtown version has been released at Nov 8th 3:20PM which contains fixes for the slowing issues when using multi-tools and the hiding Seasonal items bug.

[thunders storm]

i found one that can be of help... i try to unhide what is suppose to be hidden.. when it is open i simply hide them again.. it works.. they disappear.. but you should have patience on doing it on every farm :-D

[Raineb]

Since the update on Nov 8 I have some factories that will not hide and fences, people and other objects. I can't even click on them and delete them...what do i need to do??????

[Raineb]

I load all the factories then hide them they go away but when i reload the farm they come back...

[Gregh]

Since the update on Nov 8 I have some factories that will not hide and fences, people and other objects. I can't even click on them and delete them...what do i need to do??????

You can make them disappear temporarily by using the wrench (preferences) and checking the box to make buildings, etc visible then unchecking it to hide them. They'll come back when you reload the game but meantime it gets rid of them to let you get at anything behind them.

[Rob T]

Hi, we have let the developers know about this issue, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

[ishkin]

My Christmas wish list
I would like the time out to stop and the slowness of loading the farms
You keep giving us more facilities so please raise the limit of ingredients that are used in multiple facilities such as cheese, bread, lumber, metals etc etc
Also raise the limits in the animals pens for those of us who cannot get 400 cows in 1 barn. Just raise the limit please because it would make it so much easier and we could then keep up with the ingredients we so need.
Also some of the bigger tools could be sold for coins and not Farm Cash as they are way too expensive and you can't have this if you don't have that. Who needs 3 boats on 1 farm ?????????????????? Myself and lots of others do not have spare money for FC.
Thank you and have a Merry Christmas but please come to Farm Town and spread some good cheer
Yours
Ishkin Place

[onamission]

WF38, chrome, win 7, dim option on then I switched it off

I'm posting this detailed info jic there's something in it that sheds light on the new decorations showing bug. ;)

Just doing my morning planting using 8x8 seeder. Farm 2 - flat farm, no overlaps or stacking. No buildings, trees, flowers on top of crops. Just a few stuck fence pieces to make em fit, sticky dirt path removed.

Clicked on wheat and planted first grid, waited til it loaded, clicked on next grid, all good. Third grid didn't appear, waved cursor around but still no grid.

Reloaded seeder and got a momentary grid and then nothing. Reloaded farm with seeder still loaded with wheat, another fleeting grid appearance then nothing.

Reloaded FT with click on play, back to farm 2, no difference.

...Okay, been messing around with this... been jumping around farms 2, 3 and 4. All single layer basic farms. 4 has some buildings dumped in a bigger one with the green glove.

4 showed grid all the time. 3 showed it sometimes. 2 still no go. Then loaded tomatoes and finally got a grid on 2 but only got 2 grids planted and then it's gone again. Forgot I had the dim option on so switched it off somewhere in the farm jumping.

:D WOOHOOOOO! I finally got 2 planted just now. 2 has 6 "paddocks" with fences that are showing cos of that new glitch. I just now turned decorations on with the intention of turning em off immediately to get rid of the fences as advised and VOILA the grid was there and stayed!

Farm 2 successfully planted with decorations switched ON! Sorry, I didn't think to switch them off before planting finished to see if the grid still showed. I was getting a bit desperate thinking I wasn't gonna get 2 planted and went like a Bondi tram while it was working lol.

Back to more planting... :D

[anaxo]

Dairy facility and some decoration appear when the buildings and decorations are hidden.

Thanks

[liza1214]

Hi, we have let the developers know about this issue, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

not sure if this issue has been posted or not had a quick scan
but when im planting on my farms it allows me to click and plant about 4-5 times then will no longer plant anything unless i drop the planter/seeder then pick up again and keeps doing this for the entire farm while planting
im using my 8x8 tool when planting
have checked my connection and its not that so thought i should let u know
many thanks!!!!

gracias por todo Molly, cuando entro a mis granjas, aun teniendo ocultos los objetos de decoracion, aparecen, no se ocultan, pero ya estando en la granja si vuelvo a desmarcar y marcar la opcion para ocultar, se ocultan, pero debo hacerlo una por una con cada granja, estaba en el servidor WF36, estaba sembrando en triple campo (escalonado) con sembradora 5x5..... esta lento, tengo todo al dia en el PC y en el juego, limpieza, flash, etc.
http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=535802203
este es el enlace de mi granja numero 1.
hace media hora al recargar mi granja pues se cayo la conexion, me aparece en rojo esto:

As far as i am aware, this post is the only one that has said this. i will check it out

[Gingrkido]

My fences and some seasonal items are showing and are hidden in my tool drop down. Also my strawberry fields will not load, tries 3 times then just shows up as blank on my farm.
I love this game and I know there are bound to be glitches with the upgrades you guys bring us. Just wanted to let you know there are still some glitches out there.
Thanks for your hard work and dedication!

[MIRIAM DEL VALLE]

Hi, we have let the developers know about this issue, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

thank you very much, just a few buildings or fences are not hidden, auntocando in preferences, but if all other things. You can plant, plow, well, I do not lose connection, the game sped up a lot, is better than before 05/10 in speed .. thanks
: P

[Taz D]

Is it showing in your facility manager?

[max_river]

no it is not maybe it will come back maybe it is just a clich

[Valdoe]

farms taking for ever to load again.

Hidden things visible

[charlies4ng3ls]

I am also experiencing difficulties with planting - after one click it stops highlighting in yellow and I need to re-load the farm to continue - I guess I won't be planting again for another few days. I don't think the previous comment with regard to this is an isolated incident.

Try ticking ur decorations in the wrench menu. I did that earlier today and it worked :)

Farm 2 successfully planted with decorations switched ON!

I posted this with a whole lot of other info some hours ago.

I ticked the decorations option in the wrench menu and left it ticked while I seeded. No problems at all seeding the rest of my farms :)

[onamission]

Thank you - that has worked - I too have buildings and decorations showing everywhere but I can now plant with this workaround - thank you Onamission :)

So glad it worked for you! I nearly gave up this morning but I remembered the advice about ticking the decs and then unticking them to get rid of the decs. That's what I was doing when the yellow grid highlight came back.

It seems my tip got lost in all the info I included in that post.

Woohoo we can plant our farms again YAYYYYYY!

And thanks Charlie for coming back to say it worked :D

[WillowTreeFarm]

Hi, just logged on and I want to report that certain buildings are still showing up though I have buildings turned off. Also my train is transparent though it shouldn't be. I am on WF10, using chrome. I know the developers have been notified of this bug and have not had time to work on it, I am just reporting that I still have it. So does my hubby, he is on WF8, he can see his ice cream shop.

[marymarcel]

Thanks for the reports about the non-hiding buildings and other items. :) We'll send this on to the devs. Oh.. and especial thanks to those of you who provided farm links and'or server numbers.. it helps a lot when we're troubleshooting. :)

Hi Molly! only reporting the same issue in my farms. Fences and paths not hidden,the Dairy Proccesing Plant and the Ice Cream Factory on farms 2 and 3 not hidden, and seasonal items on farm 1 and 12 not hidden. I know you're working on the issue but just reporting:) I'm on WF 10 and using Chrome, link to my farms in my signature. Thank you!!!

can we get rid of seasonal items or put them at the bottom? they are in the way.

My computer held up for all of 30 minutes before it started the wayyyyy slow and not loading again. last night was great. This morning:mad:
thanks for listening and would u try to fix it again

[docmm6]

Don't know if this pertains or not but FB must of changed something or else Chrome did because for the last couple of days with all those problems happening my Social Fixer also is not showing up or working but does in Fire Fox. Just wondering if this is all connected.

[peoplechange2]

mine too. same problems sign on bottom. can't return gifts, can't do anything. Yesterday u said it was FB....probably so again.

[peoplechange2]

not working again. very very very slow and unable to return gifts for about 20 -30seconds in betweenn.

[MANHCTFL]

Very interesting farming morning. First thing...as soon as I logged in, I got a message saying a NEW Flash Player was ready for download. I installed it. Went into FT with Firefox. All harvesting went well....I crashed on a planting of a farm. I reloaded & tried to hide a phantom facility on my farm 1 & my cursor grabbed the building..& the whole farm...wouldn't hide anything & wouldn't release the farm....I got out of that through reload...& then tried to get into the forum (Firefox)..it wouldn't even let me log in. I am now in chrome & going to see if I an hide my facilities so I can fish...will report any negative outcomes.....

Hiding phantom facility worked under Chrome, as did fishing & working some facilities.

[JW2009]

hi, it seems to be working now :) thank you TonyHi, it loads ok for me... what happens when you click on this link http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=100000033626544&farm_ix=3

[Petuniaflower]

I am reporting mods :DI also downloaded the adobe upgrade and i usually reload my game after every 2 or 3 farms.Because Adobe has been my worse problem.I didn't this morning and all went well. A little slow changing to another farm. And when I try to leave full screen mode,screen turns green for awhile but didn't freeze on me as it sometimes does. WF 3 and I am on Firefox

[Ilsewdm]

I've been playing FT exclusively for 3.5 years . I spend at least $40 on FC each month. I am hooked on the game and decided I can do without TV so I have money every month for the game (I am retired and on fixed income.) I must say, I HAVE ABOUT HAD IT!!! If cable TV constantly cut out, disappeared, showed the wrong program, froze, or slowed to a crawl, people would not put up with it and cancel their service. Why can't I get a well running game for $40 a month? I think I have been patient and put up with a lot over the last few years. Currently, I have to wait a couple of minutes for a farm to open, reloading takes just as long, playing is painfully slow, and today the dairy processing plant shows up every time I open a farm, even though I don't show buildings. To get rid of it, I have to load all buiildings and then hide all again. What a pain. How about Slashkey quit adding new facilities for a while and fix all the **** that's going on to turn this into a well functioning game again? Or how about giving people their money back when tools don't work? I don't mind paying for a quality product, but in the real world when you buy something that doesn't perform as advertised, you can return it and get your money back!:mad:

[JW2009]

Hi, I am back to getting a blank page, i have to reload and reload and hopefully it takes and loads the game, i dont know what to do, i did everything i was told, i was having this problem a few months ago for about 2 weeks then it seemed to have been fixed, but now it's back - thank youhi, it seems to be working now :) thank you Tony

[Angel7]

Not everything working for me - I have everything unchecked (trees, buildings, etc.) but I can see the dairy factory on every farm and an occasional factory on other farms. On my farm #1, I can see ALL hedges and fences, although I can't select any of them. But harvesting and planting is now working.

[rockhopper]

Hi,

I now have 3 dairy processing units (farm 1, 7, 13)
and 1 chocolate factory (farm 13) which are not hiding since the latest change. They are both in the "new" style view.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

We have notified the devs about some facilities and decorations not hiding. Hopefully they'll find a fix soon.

[tnbravesgirl]

Since 11-8 update, not ALL facilities hide when you use that function. Haven't checked them all yet....but seems to be the facilities that have more than one view. This happens on my farm as well as the farms that people have hired me to work on.

Another glitch to research.

Thanks!

The developers are already aware of it and working on a fix.

[StoneFace]

and....

when I go to the store and use the Search it does not show all that it did just a few days ago...

for example ... there were Christmas items if you searched "Christmas"... now there is nothing.

boo, hiss....

.

[csveale]

not working again. very very very slow and unable to return gifts for about 20 -30seconds in betweenn.

Every thing seems to be too slow. Slow to load, slow to download, slow to upload, system times out. too slow to work farms. The game is running too slow. I've upgraded Flash, rebooted, and tried to be patient. This is just not good........it is too slow. I've removed cookies, worked on my cache, and deleted things that might cause the system to be slow, but nothing helps. I'm not happy right now.:mad:

[onamission]

WF38, chrome, win 7, dim option on then I switched it off

:D WOOHOOOOO! I finally got 2 planted just now. 2 has 6 "paddocks" with fences that are showing cos of that new glitch. I just now turned decorations on with the intention of turning em off immediately to get rid of the fences as advised and VOILA the grid was there and stayed!

Farm 2 successfully planted with decorations switched ON! Sorry, I didn't think to switch them off before planting finished to see if the grid still showed. I was getting a bit desperate thinking I wasn't gonna get 2 planted and went like a Bondi tram while it was working lol.

Back to more planting... :D

The seeder issue is still there. I ripped some wheat fields out so I could test the seeder again. Started off my test with decs unticked. No seeding grid showing.

Ticked decs and seeder grid showed. Then experimented by unticking decs, grid still showing and working. Then reloaded farm, decs unticked, grid still showed.

Then reloaded by clicking play, back to farm 2, grid still showing. All this while decs unticked.

Also tested with different sized seeders, all worked fine.

Conclusion: My workaround of ticking decs enabled the seeder even after reloading farm 2 and then reloading FT.

Have posted these details in the hopes that it helps devs to work out what the bug actually is. Am also including link to my farm so u can have a squiz at all the different fencing on that farm. There's quite a few different types of fences there. Go well with ur fix! :D

Facebook here is still really slow to load, upload, reload, and many things cannot be retrieved. It is way too slow. I have rebooted, worked with the cache, installed the latest version of Adobe Flash, and tried to make Facebook simple. I don't have more options here. It runs too slow and takes too much time to watch it not load. I really hoppe you can fix this so I will keep playing with Facebook and FarmTown.:mad:

Farm Town has no control over Facebook. If both are slow then try restarting your router. It may be something with your internet connection.

Yippee just reloaded the game and saw A new Farmtown version has been released at Nov 8th 3:20PM which contains fixes for the slowing issues when using multi-tools and the hiding Seasonal items bug.

None of my farms are showing decorations or rogue facilities.

Thanks Raul :D

When is the November Releases coming out? Is there going to be new levels and farm 17 with those releases as well?

[lynwoo60]

Mine four, thank you again for your hard work and speedy solution of the problems. thanks Raul and developers :)

[Berle]

I don't know where to post this problem. Yesterday I was able to buy Forget me nots. Today they only show up as gifts. What's up?

[Bettasrock78]

I was wondering when the November releases were going to come out? Also I was wondering if there is going to be new levels after 385 and if we are getting farm 17?

[Tiger]

I don't know where to post this problem. Yesterday I was able to buy Forget me nots. Today they only show up as gifts. What's up?

Hi there,

Sorry but only the developers know the answer to that or when it would happen. Nothing's been mentioned so far, but i would guess that will in the future. It's only a guess though;)

[WillowTreeFarm]

Thank you Raul. No more problems on my farms.

[onamission]

I've just finished the rounds of working my neighbour's facs and servs. WOW it was so fast, lightning speed whizzing through them. I'm impressed!

Good work Raul and devs, thank you! :D

[Petuniaflower]

OK now I don't feel so bad. I just worked on my farms been doing friends facilities, and felt rotten cause I too am WHIZZING I was afraid to post that I was doing so good.Didn't want to make others feel bad.

[onamission]

Gee it's funny the different ways we think Petunia :)

Here's me busting to let the devs and players know that it's come good and assuming that it would have for everyone else too, and here's you feeling bad jic it's only you that's become Speedy Gonzales LOL

Well, the reports of bug effects have ebbed so let's hope that everyone is having such a WHIZZ-bang time that they can't drag themselves away from their farms hehehe

Speaking of which... back to da farm I go! :D

cheers and happy farming, Sue :)

Of the flowers used in facilities and previously purchasable, the Pink Roses have also disappeared from the shop.

many thanks!!!!

As far as i am aware, this post is the only one that has said this. i will check it out

I have experienced this too but not quite as bad as liza describes. I usually hit Play to reload the farm and it clears up.

[Aussie Rae]

thanks to the devs, all my buildings are now hidden!!! including that elusive Dairy Processing Plant and Chocolate Factory....:)

[maggiel29]

Of the flowers used in facilities and previously purchasable, the Pink Roses have also disappeared from the shop.

The Roses (the red ones) have also gone from the store and the forget me nots, pink roses and red roses have also gone from the menu of the belts/dans earned in the tool box.
They are still on the farm and in my storage but you can only get more as a gift all of a sudden.

[KnightRider]

Maybe they are going to make the Pink Roses, Red Roses, and the Forget Me Nots gifts only now, if so, I am glad I already got what I need planted on my farms.

[maggiel29]

Yes me too! But why are they gone from the belts/dans? Weird.

[Berle]

hmm sorry no idea why that is. Thanks for pointing it out. Have you noticed any other flowers missing from the store?
No all the flowers (10) that I was buying were there so I have no idea about others. BTW having the items in the Flower shop finish in 30 minutes is really unusual. No way can anyone plant enough flowers to max out since flowers only mature in four days.

[Tiger]

We have notified the developers of the missing flowers from the store.
The ones we know are missing are.........
Forget Me Not
Lilies (white)
Pink Rose
Rose (red)
Zinnia

As soon as they left the store and went to gift only they would vanish from the belt/dan list, you don't get belts/dans for the gift only flowers, look at the glads for the funeral home you don't get any belts/dans for those flowers since they are gift only or at least they are not on my list, I just looked, since they are gift only it would be nice if they had the belt/dans so you could get the extra, cause the gift only trees you get belts/dans for them.

I've got 6th dan for glads showing on my belts. Try reloading FT then go straight to the belts and have another look. I have a feeling that if you go to the store first they then disappear from the belts until you reload.

They all returned to the belts/dans, I very seldom look at the belts/dans list.

[bayoubes]

Speaking of the belts and dans, I wondered why the devs even made the belt/dan manager. When they first put it on, I figured down the road of 3 or 4 updates, they would update the manager so we could post from the manager. That way we could post what we want, when we needed more. I know this isn't the place, should be in suggestions, did that about 4 months after the manager, even sent it to the devs. It just seem so logical to me, maybe it's just me. I guess, I am just a kitty kat, to curious for my own good. lol

[rjohn726]

Moving on I see, thanks for the update

[AlabamaLady]

when I go to the store and use the Search it does not show all that it did just a few days ago...

for example ... there were Christmas items if you searched "Christmas"... now there is nothing.

boo, hiss....

Was an answer given to this problem? I can no longer find "Christmas" "holiday" or any items related to those.

Hi yes, as Raul posted in the first post of this thread

Thats exactly what happens Tiger - I looked at the Belts Dans - I had Glad and Forget me Nots etc showing. I then went to the store - then back to the Belts/Dans - none of the gift flowers were there. Reloaded and they are back!
Weird!

Hi yes, as Raul posted in the first post of this thread

"- Bug showing seassonal decorations in Store when using Search Bar fixed"

:(:(:( Why would this be considered a "bug"? I am really sad that this was seen as problematic to anyone. Many players have in the past said it would be a good idea to have a "Seasonal" tab in the store, where all seasonal items would be. That way, people would be able to decorate their farms as they wish, when they wish, and not necessarily have to wait until the developers got into the spirit of whatever special holiday. :(

It seems this past update has taken some things from us that I don't understand, this being one of them, and some of the flowers being another. I don't mind exchanging gifts for flowers, but I sure don't want vertical rows of 5 everywhere either :( It was more convenient when we could buy these, one at a time to place as needed where needed (or wanted). Please, developers, don't debug the unbuggy :(

I agree with the seasonal item in the search as not being a bug, as for the 5 rows of flowers, you just have to plant them and then move the one you don't want to a different place, it is a little more work, but you can get the flowers like you want them.

It was REALLY nice to have. Hopefully the Devs will find it in their hearts to return it. :)

I cant buy Red Roses from the store, or click them on my farm to select Buy One/Multiple, anyone else have the same problem?

[max_river]

you can only get them sent to you a gift

[InePine]

But is that a permanent change or are they comming back in the store like before?

[Tiger]

Hi ,
We've notified the developers of the problem and a waiting for a response.

[Petuniaflower]

Tiger you answered her questions but I had to add my opinion. If this is in the wrong section I know you will correct that for me :D

Raul has been so considerate of the players whose main enjoyment is designing.I just can't believe this was meant to happen.

Flowers are very useful, red roses and the pink rose especially. So I really believe this will be corrected.

I said my piece :rolleyes:

[Berle]

Just a note to the devs. Flowers that were available in the store should still be available in the store. There is such a insufficiency of flowers anyway if you have a Flower shop.

[Gregh]

Since the fix for slow game/seasonal items showing, I sometimes get an XSESSION error when the game loads after I send gifts. WF3, Win7(64) Prof, Firefox 16.02, Flash 11.5.502.110, cable broadband. The subsequent reload usually makes it go away. I don't get the error when going straight in from FB, only when I come in from the Gifts tab.

Yes I am getting that too - and also when I go into the game from clicking on someones bonus post. WF8, Windows 7, Google Chrome, Flash 11.5.502.110, telephone line broadband

Hi all,

The devs just released a fix for the flowers, they should all be back in the store as before now :)

[Qivis]

Hi all,

I wasn't aware they were broken. But thanks.

[InePine]

Woohoo! Thanks for sorting it so quick! :D

[kataltay]

Please, now that you have brought back the flowers, would you please bring back the ability to search for and purchase seasonal items? This did nothing to slow down the game performance. Items were not unreleased ones, but rather ones from previous seasons. It saves having another tab to add, and allows for full decorating freedom, year round.

None of the team has offered an explanation as to why this was disabled. Many enjoyed what developers are calling a "bug". It would be understandable if the "feature" was taking away from game performance in some way, but it was not.

Remember when the dirt and stone paths could no longer be used as "tape" for decorating, and developers called that "tape" feature a glitch? And remember how upsetting it was to "decorators" to see that fix?

Sure, the number of people asking for the return of the search for purchasable seasonal items is not as high as with the paths, but if one were to go through the suggestions of the past, coupled with the people in this very thread who either wanted to see a seasonal tab in the store, or who now miss the latest very short-lived "feature", don't these numbers mean something? :( Please :(

[Texas Belle]

Of the flowers used in facilities and previously purchasable, the Pink Roses have also disappeared from the shop.

You can always click on them and it will give you an option if you want to buy one or more... try that.

[Gregh]

Thanks, but back on the 10th of November - which is when I posted the remark you're responding to - the Red and Pink Roses were not in the shop and clicking on them did not bring up the option to buy.

Today they are back in the shop and the option to buy is also back.

[thunders storm]

@ Berle.. plant double or triple (depends on how many time you do the facilities)..what are needed in the flowers shop and watered them with the green sprinkler..

- The bug about some flowers missing from the store is now fixed


Thanks for fixing it so quickly

[jkmyer]

Is anyone still having trouble working neighbors factories and facilities?

[StoneFace]

so..... all the extra Farm Cash I spent over time, accumulating the Yellow Picket Fence at $1 each.....

and now they are available by coin.....

sheesh... waste of time and money, honey...

[LoreneC]

LOL! But we had our pretty yellow pick it fences for years before others did! :p

[onamission]

Is anyone still having trouble working neighbors factories and facilities?

Yep, I am too. WF38, chrome, win 7

Worked 2 neigh's facs, or at least tried to.

First was a serv request for just one farm. Worked it but all farms showing on farm selector for work. Looked at 2 other farms but no work. This neigh has all her servs on one farm so I checked with her and still all on one farm, no changes done by her.

Next I tried her facs. No work pop-up at all. Tried 3 times, nothing.

Then tried another neigh's facs. Got the visiting farm pop-up to water it. Didn't bother to do any more cos things aren't working for me here.

Cleaned memcache already 4 times since I've been farming (only been on for 40 mins.) Used memcache as soon as I went to my farm cos the neigh's piccies at bottom of farm aren't showing, just the green lights.

That's a sure sign that something is wonky when I can't get those pics to show even after using memcache.

Also, I was able to hire from market, but not at my farm. Tried twice to rehire the same worker on my farm to do extra work (trees) but she didn't get either.

She was back at the market so hired her there to do the extra work.

That's all I've noticed so far...

[1fritz]

Darn... I've saved those it storage, when not in use for some time, cause they cost real money.

[Texas Belle]

Well I just went to the store to look for the seeds I need for the quest and 3/4 of the seeds are gone... what's going on?

[onamission]

Have just read in help and support that the problem is intermittent for working facs. Agreed.

It came good for a while even with neighs menu tray beneath farm fully loading and was able to work previous facs that I couldn't before.

But it's just gone bad again. Neigh's facs this time are on WF38, same as mine.

[Texas Belle]

Well went to the store they are all there, but when you go to your tools and pick the seeder and go back to pick the seeds 3/4 are gone, no soybean, gingsend and many many others... and you cannot get the seeds to saw without the seeder so I am passing until this gets fixed...

[Taz D]

Well I just went to the store to look for the seeds I need for the quest and 3/4 of the seeds are gone... what's going on?
Try clearing your cache, close and restart your farm and see if they are back. I see all of the seeds.

[Toni0912]

Is anyone else having a problem working your neighbours Facilities. I have cleaned cache and all the rest and also used the memcache, nothing is helping. HELP I cannot find an answer to the problem at all.
I have tried to work a few neighbours posts and cannot work a single one. :(

[mumfy]

I can't work my neighbours fac abd services and neither can many of my neighbours so you are not alone Tonio

[Deborah1979]

I will post under the Help thread, too.
Suddenly I can't work neighbors requests either! When I click on the request in FB, I am sent to their farm, get the stupid pop-up box to help with the tornado, fields dry, etc. I just click on that to do work (hey, 6 xp is 6 xp :) ), go back to FB and try the request again. This time I get NOTHING when I get to their farms.
I was able to work other requests early AM yesterday.
Yes, cleared, rebooted, yada yada.
Thanks,
Deborah
