New Release -- January 19th, 2013

[Taz D]

Thanks for fixing the Dairy Shed. But, is there any chance of recovering the 80,000 coins I accidentally spent in order to produce one 2,400 coin shed?
Even though it said that it would cost the coins were not actually deducted when you started the production.

[CynthiaSue]

The animal buildings timing in facility manager has not been fixed for me, at least not for all my buildings. I just did my dairy cause it was past time and it said I had 45 minutes left to go. I wouldn't trust the timing yet. Nice idea if it worked. I would like it better if it changed right after you did it saying the new time instead of after you refreshed.

[dirtracer2b]

The Utilization still seems screwed up to me. Use to, you could click on "utilization" and all your animal buildings and sheds would go down to the bottom and all your facilities would be at the top and you could start a the bottom and click "start all".

Now when you click "utilization", it mixes the facilities and the animal buildinds up all together. So now I have to start at the top and go down page by page to make sure all my facilities are at 100%

Also, right after the new update, I did all my facilities and reached my all time highest Diversification Rank at 22535.

Now when I do all my facilities the best I can get is 22155. Why is that.

I like the old way muuuuuch better.

Do love the one click fertilzer tool.

Thanks

You will find that all the things you can buy for coin can be later sold at only 3% of the price you paid.

I have animal buildings in my Non Ingredients ! who's are they? and can I sell my stuff ? or are they mine and I will lose everything??

[Taz D]

They are ghosts and not your animal buildings on your farms. Go ahead and sell them and they will not show there again as they have fixed this problem.

[Jwebb]

Mine are showing up there too! Are you sure about that? How are you sure...and it also says that I have 26 dairy sheds...I don't think so

[Taz D]

I know because that is what Raul said in the first post here at the bottom with the fix actions:
"- After you sell all the Animal Buildins incorrectly shown in your harvest storage, there should be no more of them in the storage anymore in the future

- Animal building looking like facilities bug is now fixed"

[Jwebb]

Thanks for your help Taz :) I guess I shoulda looked there first! lol

Half of my facilities are missing from my Farm 2 again! This happens with the post release updates. I purchased farm cash and repurchased all my missing facilities. I'm not going to do it again. I have had only one response from Slashkey asking how much FC/coins I lost. That was a week ago. I've not heard back from them since. Also, the link to my farm isn't working so good luck trying to get to my farm. This is really getting old and my patience is running thin.

For your missing buildings watch your Farm Cash amount to see if they have refunded the amount for those buildings. It can take them a while to get it done.
For your link to your farm try going to the Farm Selection Manager (far left column below the clock). At the bottom of that screen click on Copy Link button. Then go to your signature editor and paste it in in place of the bad link.

[earlgray]

In the facilities manager there is a problem when sorting by "Done" since the last update. Right now it lists my total of "Done" items as 224, but the top facilities showing are some of my animal buildings, which aren't ready. Down below those are some facilities which actually do have finished products. Yet even when I store those products, it gives me a "Done" count of 62, and I can't find any more facilities with finished products. Please take a look at this issue, and make sure the "Done" count is accurate, and the facilities with finished products really show up at the top of the list above the animal buildings when sorting by Done. Thanks.

Thank you. I will try that. Slashkey is usually on top of my reimbursements. It has happened twice before. This time they are dragging their feet or else they are being bombarded with missing facilities emails.

Same here been trying to empty them but keeps showing 257 done but all facs were empty :(

[maggiel29]

Yes I have a problem with done including the animals sheds. Also they still are showing either at the front of the utilization view or mixed up with the other facs.

And the times are still wrong - I am showing for example, the cow shed as ready in 2 hours but I can still harvest it now at the right time.

[roz1972]

ok getting fed up with the treasure chests re setting themselves ...lost loads of bonuses

[mrampley]

I have tried all suggestions and still cannot load facility manger r click on any facility.. keep getting server connected out and its extremely slow...GAME WORKED FINE BEFORE THE UPDATE!!!!

[Aussie Rae]

hahahaha I have a train corner in my gift box!!! no idea where it came from......now its gone...after I took a screen shot and sent an email off to slashkey, lol

[ftjill]

Since the upgrade I can't harvest the animals in the Chicken Coop on Farm 7.
When I hover on the coop the message says 'chicken coop ready to harvest animals'; but, when I click 'show animals inside', there are no animals.

What steps do I need to take in order to restore this Chicken Coop to active production. I have cleared the caches.

Your help is appreciated.:confused::(

[Angel7]

Timing is still not fixed on cow barns - they just now said 30 minutes to go but they were ready and I harvested them. They are all harvested and they still say they will be ready in 31 minutes.....

Do you HAVE chickens in the chicken coop ????? :D
I only ask this because it happened to me once and I had to say DUH - forgot to put them in there.....

[SunnyD]

haven't seen anyone else say anything about this so i am guessing i am alone in this.. but i have the orange fertilizer i haven't upgraded to the new one. but wow it has major delays on it when i try to use it.. i can go make a pot of coffee before it will react to me wanting it to fertilize my farm.. very weird..

[dnana]

Ok, now i still have one question. The server time out's we get is that from Slashkey/FarmTown or our supplier. It only happens to me in FarmTown witch makes me think it is a Slashkey problem. Please fix. It really is not pleasant playing a game when you have to reload all the time. If hired by a friend they have to rehire you.

Hi, this has always happened since the beginning of the game, but I found out last year how to beat it.

Any time you get that dreaded pop-up, do this: Click the green tick instead of the red one and immediately click another farm. You may not go there but if you do, you will be able to continue working, you have made the server recognize you again. If you do not go there, you'll get the pop-up again, just click the green tick and click a farm. Do this as many times as you need to force yourself active again. The first time, I did it out of desperation, and I had to click the green tick 4 separate times before it recognized me again, but lately, it has been only once or twice. :) Of course, if you are a hire and you were only hired for one farm, you're out of luck, but for every other situation, this works! :D

I fertilized with my orange one and had no problems. They did a tiny update today, has anyone else noticed that the barns in the facility manager now tell you what time they will be ready again? My group has been reporting various and sundry problems all day, so maybe that was it and it will smooth out tomorrow. :)

[CynthiaSue]

the timing on my animal buildings is still not fixed. For example, I just harvested my chicken coops and they said 3 hours to go.

[earlgray]

This still doesn't work right for me either. My dairy barns showed no time remaining, but weren't ready to harvest; on the other hand, other animal buildings show more time to go than is actually the case. Nice idea, if it would just work right.

[KnightRider]

My animal building are working good now, the only bad thing is that after you harvest a shed you have to reload the manager to see the timer again, but all of the times are correct now. Plus when you click on the animal shed it no longer shows the facility detail option.

[rockhopper]

Same for me, my chicken coops are still incorrect. They said 3hrs to go, yet I just harvested them, and after that it still says 3hrs to go.

[dianedrayson]

I am confused about the timing on the animal facilities. A day in the chicken coop used to be 20 hours. Two days in the wools shed was 40 hours. Now they are showing up as 24-hour days. Has this changed without me realising?

The times for the animal buildings has not changed. The times in the facility manager have been corrected to show the correct time, however they are not counting down correctly. This is what is causing the confusion.

[1fritz]

I'm not sure where to post this and don't know how to private message a Moderator.....So I just received a message on facebook that says "I am a VIP for a Farmtown site called WOW. I would like you to friend me so I can help you with your posts."

Just wondered if anyone knows anything about this group? I did not friend her. I'm sure it' a scam of some sort.

Thanks

That is a World of Warcraft (WOW) guild and has nothing to do with Farm Town. I would ignore it unless you play.

Ok this is N O T C L E A R, this should tell me when i can receive belts, but obviously it is dead wrong. why can't i get info on when i can start collecting again ? https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/309744_553767301301052_2021089886_n.jpg

That is telling you when you can post your belts again not when you can collect them.

[JW2009]

i know this, i am not stupid, my point is we should be told when we can collect them again .!!!!!!!!That is telling you when you can post your belts again not when you can collect them.

[Taz D]

Then you should put your suggestion in the Suggestion section. You stated that the entry was incorrect which it is clearly not and concerns a totally different function.

[JW2009]

my apologies Taz, i think we should have another section telling us when we can collect the belts again, thank youThen you should put your suggestion in the Suggestion section. You stated that the entry was incorrect which it is clearly not and concerns a totally different function.

[dorissau]

the "time to harvest" in the barns' facility manager was a great idea, but they are so messed up they are just irritating. They show many hours to go, but if I click, they are ready and then they immediately show 2-3 more hours. ??? It is not shown as a problem in the "issues" , but someone else commented about the same thing. Please fix!!

[Docperk]

I haven't seen anyone else post on this but I have a strange thing happening on 2 out of 3 computers I use, luckily it is not my primary computer, anyway when I have the Dim out option / hidden selected I get these big green blotches all over my farm which makes it hard to use it cause it follows the tool I am using around. My first thought was it might be the video card, but one of the computers I use (my wife's) has a pretty high dollar video card in it so not sure that is what is. Anybody else have this problem or have any ides on it?

thanks

[Ellen Betty Nelson]

I haven't been able to get to my farm all night [at least 6 hrs], it just acts like it is going there, but then at the bottom it says 'done', but the top says 'send gifts, Play, and so one, but the rest of the screen is blank... What is going on? Can go anywhere else...'home', and recieve and send gifts, but cannot go to farm to put gifts away.

But is bedtime for me, Maybe for the computer also. that might be the problem, is tired.. suppose?

thanks everyone....
goodnight

[cindymartindale1955]

I have lost half my facilities on Farm 2 AGAIN to the tune of $430 Farm Cash and 16,020,000 Coins making a total of $774 Farm Cash and 21,460,400 Coins since January 7th. Raul says no known issues. I'm here to tell you THERE ARE ISSUES!!! I have emailed Slashkey four times and they have responded only once. No reimbursement has been issued. REALLY tired of it.

I see a lot of green (usually rectangular) blotches when I'm planting too. Not sure why it happens, but the only thing I can do is just move that part of the farm over into the middle of my screen and it goes away and then I keep planting

That has been happening to me also .... but only in fullscreen - when I take it out of full screen it is fine, just a pain in the butt moving the farm around to get things done.

I am also having issues with the timing on the animal sheds. The only one that works out right is the dairy sheds ... The rest are not accurate at all ! Some show ready, some show 2 days when it is one - other times it's hours left when they are actually done. The timing is NOT fixed as stated.

[dnana]

Everybody is having issues with the timing, they are working on it. Please be patient. New things rarely ever work right at first, hang in there.

The green blotches are rendering lag. The green you are seeing is the underlying background color of the game that just hasn't been filled in yet. I usually see it with plowed fields. It's a small matter to grab your screen and move it so that those details are rendered, you would be doing that anyway if you are planting or harvesting. :)

[rockhopper]

Same for me, my chicken coops are still incorrect. They said 3hrs to go, yet I just harvested them, and after that it still says 3hrs to go.

Just to let you know I have just harvested my animal buildings and my chicken coop now displays 20hrs - the correct time :)

Thank you Raul and team :)

[sod farmer]

I am not sure when this appeared - but I linked my farm to the forum and the farm number is using the original farm sequence - not the sorted farms as they are now arranged.

[Bbb-3]

I also have the green blotches, is anyone else loosing coins on the bonus chest I harvested a farm with stacked wheat the bonus chest displayed that I had x amount before job was done but when the I finish the job it shows less in my chest?

Even though you rearrange your farms the address number on the server stays the same.

is it just me i am not sure but twice in last hour all my stuff are check in the wrench so my decortations and building and ect

[washalien]

Thanks for the fixes, but the "LOAD ALL" still doesn't work right in the Power Plant, and I haven't been able to find any replies about my two posts on that topic.:confused:

[GarrettHillBabe]

I lost a stable I paid FC for how do I get it back? Thanks for the help.

[KnightRider]

I lost a stable I paid FC for how do I get it back? Thanks for the help.

Nothing can be done through the forum, you need to contact support. To contact support, click on the link saying "report/contact this app" that is on the game screen on the right hand side just below the ads, on the pop up screen choose the first option, then when the support ticket appears fill it out with as much detail as possible. It can take some time for them to get back to you depending on how many tickets they have a head of yours.

[rockhopper]

Thank you Raul and team :)

Looks like I spoke too soon - the chicken coops were just displaying 14 minutes to go when they were actually ready to harvest.:confused:
Good job I use a free third party alarm program to tell me when stuff is ready :p

[TerriFlynn]

I am still having issues with the animal sheds not showing the correct amount of time. The original release notes say "no known issues," so thought I would mention it again.

[Majik Merlin]

Why is it that ALL links to canvas and canvas products (like tents etc) DON'T work? For months now, every time I click on a bonus link for tents, canvas, laundry trolly, etc. I get the 'expired' notice. I go back and click on another item from same farmer and get that bonus. This happens on NEW bonus posts...sometimes 8-10 min or an hour and STILL get the 'expired'.

I NEED CaNvaS!!!! When will this issue be fixed.

You should still get the canvas items. Rhubarb Pie is another one that says expired but you still get it. When I click on one of these and then click on something else by the same person it will usually say you cannot not buy for another 12 hours from that person.

Perhaps i should, but I'm not. I've tried checking my inventory first and after the attempt with no increase in product.

[Angel7]

Recheck your inventory after a refresh - I have the same problem with alot of the items and I checked once to see if I was getting it or not. During my test, I had farm town open on one tab and collected the gift on another tab and then I checked my inventory and it did not change. I then hit the refresh button (or went to another farm, can't remember) and the inventory DID change. So I don't worry about it anymore and just go ahead and take what I can get. :o

Mine aren't working either...but to me, it's really no big deal...I work my animal sheds pretty much at the same time each day so I know they'll be ready when I get there...however, when my chicken coops were ready yesterday morning, it said I still had 20 some minutes left to go?...

[twobits118]

OK, I need help, I'm beyond ******. I've worked 4 different farms tonight and in all of them I worked everything I was asked and it would not pay out. I reloaded no less then 3 times, went through all the tools and still NO PAY!!! WHAT IS GOING ON???

Were these jobs for strangers from the market? Working for your neighbors or buddies does not get you a bonus.
If they were for strangers what did the message say when you clicked on the chest?

[Deborah1979]

Just wanted you to know that I harvested chicken coop yesterday at 7 AM, so it should have stated that it was ready at 3 AM today. At 4 AM, it said 3 hours.
(That would put it back on a 24 hour day, and not the FT 20 hour. Right?)
Not a big deal to me, but wanted you to know that there are still some glitches on the animal sheds/barns.
Thanks!!

[dirtracer2b]

The facility manger to me still seems messed up. Not necessarily the timing of the animal sheds, but the way its acting.

I liked the way it worked before this last update.

I could go to the facility manager, click on utilization, and it would put ALL the animal sheds at the bottom, and all my facilities at the top. I could go down and start clicking start all and bring all my facilities up to 100% in no time.

I do that now, and it starts mixing in animal sheds and facilities together and I have to go and find the ones that need to be brought up to 100%.

Also, right after the new release, I worked all my facilities and I received a all time "Best" on my Diversification Rank. Then after a day or two, when I would work my facilities, I would be almost 300 points short of the "Best".

I use the "Best" number to tell when I have got all my facilities up to 100%. When my Diversification Rank and the Best numbers equal each other, I know I am done.

Because the numbers were so different, I even went and bought 5 facilities so my Best would be higher so they would be equal again.

This morning I worked my facilities, and again, my Diversification rank is lower than my Best.

This is about to drive me crazy. Everybody is complaining about the times for the animal sheds not being right and this problem I am having, why can't they go back and make the Facility Manger the way it used to be??? Then everybody would be happy

I have a couple of questions...
#1 The orange manure spreader...I think it would be of great help if the crops are already fertilized that we still should be able to fert. the trees and flowers that arent fert. It would be of much more help..

#2 What trucks can you use the ordering station on besides the semi...that is the only truck I can figure out that it helps.....

Thanks for all the new things....but wonder why there are always so many glitches when something new is added....they are tested before bringing them to us and as soon as we get them ppl are finding all kinds of things going wrong...can not believe that the issues do not come up for the testers of the game....just sounds a bit odd to me.... I find the game very addicting in spite of the glitches........thanks again

With the orange spreader any thing you put on a fertilized farm will become fertilized also, the only thing that will not become fertilized on a farm when you fertilize it is anything that is already grown, but as soon as it is harvested it then becomes fertilized. So if you have farm 1 fertilized and a day later put several trees on that farm, those trees will become fertilized as soon as you plant them and stay fertilized until you harvest them.

As for the ordering station only the semi is what works with it.

We are beta testers to find the glitches in the game, the alpha testers are only a few people and can't find all the glitches that might come up over all of their servers, it isn't easy to program a program with no glitches.

Hi,

#1 It's the farm that gets fertilised. As long as it is still fertilised when you harvest trees/flowers they will also become fertilised. If the fertilisation has run out on the farm just fertilise it again to include the flowers and trees. Your already fertilised crops will remain fertilised.

#2 The ordering station only works with the semi-trailer trucks. It enables the 'All' button when ordering products from the Truck and the products are delivered twice as fast, 30 minutes instead of 1 hour, it's like duplicating the output of each truck assuming you have enough fuel.

[JW2009]

I'm just wondering/disappointed about the "occasionally in the future the mayor might award 1fc and or ingredients" yet we have not heard anything about this and i am getting very tired of seeing this under my prize each day i finish my quest. Why haven't we been told more on this. if you don't know how to doit, then here is an idea. For every 5 quests we complete in time then on the 6th one we would get 1fc, but lets say on the 5th one we cannot complete it, then the count restarts at 1, meaning you must complete 5 in a row to get the 1fc.
This was announced over one year ago ( Jan 21/2012 ) Can we please be told if this is going to happen still or we just wasting our time waiting for something that will never happen? Please let us know either way thank you !

I'm just wondering/disappointed about the "occasionally in the future the mayor might award 1fc and or ingredients" yet we have not heard anything about this and i am getting very tired of seeing this under my prize each day i finish my quest.

Hi,

I'm sorry but there is no news on this yet. The developers are still considering this option.

Yes Quest cash please and a lovely load all button pretty please Raul

[max_river]

one thing i would like to see add soon is with the tools that it would show if you own one of the tools because how many people have purchesed more than one by mistake pls do something about this issue

[max_river]

even if they gave a chance to win a fc or even something else like maybe a building or factory something that you could only win by doing quest. that would be neat

[max_river]

has anyone else notice that the chicken and cow barnes are not showing the times now

[KnightRider]

has anyone else notice that the chicken and cow barnes are not showing the times now

If it isn't showing a time that means that it is ready to be harvested. I just looked at mine and none showed any times, I harvested all of them refreshed the manager and they all showed the times again. After you harvest you have to refresh the facility manager for the times to show up again.

[Docperk]

Has anyone else noticed that out in the real world the days just seem to fly by anymore week by week I am amazed about how the time has just flown by. Then there is farm town, where the days are only 20 hours long you would think that things would go by more quickly, but it sure doesn't seem that way. It just seems like forever and and a day from release to release every 3-4 weeks. Like this one I was thinking surely it is about time for the forum to close so we could get the next release this weekend and then I happened to noticed this was released on the 19th so it has only been 11 days. dang that means we got at least 2 more weeks to go. I hate to be wishing my life away but I guess I am as I sit here waiting for the next update. :D

ty for your help. the chicken coup is still not showing time oh well not a big deal

[JW2009]

my times are also messed up on my sheds, i just know when to do them from heart so it doesn't bother me that my times are out by 2 hrs. thank you & happy farming

[bucknine]

I guess my real question is; Why would a game as big and popular like FarmTown still be a BETA game. Why not go to a full retail game that can be purchased in a store. Maybe, JUST MAYBE it is owned or run by a non-profit organization that controls the game. Any thoughts?

My thoughts on it is that it is still in beta cause it is still growing and has bugs that needs to be fixed before it can become a retail store game. Once they are done upgrading the program then they can make sure all of the bugs are corrected.

My thinking is if it was purchased in a store how would we have neighbors and work on each others farms. Just my thinking

[StoneFace]

My thinking is if it was purchased in a store how would we have neighbors and work on each others farms. Just my thinking

we could... just like the many other interactive games from combat to city building... buy the game for upwards of $100, and play on line with or against others. And once you have bought it, the requirement to get enhanced stuff might only be time/effort/success at doing other things.

[Taz D]

Thanks Raul:
Post Release Updates - Jan 31st, 9:00PM EST:

- Sorting by Done and Utilization in Facility Manager still had some bugs with the animal buildings, this should be fixed now.

- Top counters like Pending and Done in Facility Manager were sometimes incorrect due to the animal buildings, this should be fixed now.

- Time to harvest for animal buildings in Facility Manager now should show exactly the same number as the Animal Building in the farm, ex: 19.9 hours.

[StoneFace]

sweet


Thanks Raul... now, if we could just get more players to visit the forum more often.

oh well

Sorry Raul but my sorting is still off and my animal sheds timing is wrong. For example the Rabbit hutch just said 5.8 hours to harvest but I harvested it fine. Same with the Chicken coop - it said 5.8 hours but I just harvested it - at roughly the same time I do every morning. I will try the usual housekeeping in a mo and see if it helps.

[Deborah1979]

:confused:
My animal sheds are not showing in the facility manager at all. They were yesterday, but probably when timing was tweaked, they disappeared. Still on each farm, but ALL of them say ready to harvest when you hover. The 2 day sheds were harvested yesterday, so they really aren't ready, and if you click on it, you get the message No Animals To Harvest.

Please get this glitch fixed quickly!! :D I really don't care if timing on sheds is fixed, I just want the sheds all back under the facility manager!!
Thanks,
Deborah

OK, I am back 3 minutes later.... I changed several setting in the Facility Manager... used "Facilities in All Farms" as opposed to Active Facilities and all of the animal sheds showed up, and appears to be with correct times. This remains to be determined.
So I am assuming that Animal Sheds are no longer considered "Active" but just a facility?
Anyway, panic time is over, but it sure would be nice when changes are made that YOU let us know what settings are being used.
Thanks,
Deborah

[Tractor Man]

The timer in the animal buildings that show in the facility manager is still not working for everythimng except the dairy sheds. Mine show various times from 1.4 hours to 1.2 days before you can harvest, but they are ready and can be harvested. It appears the clock goes so far and then stops. Any ideas.

[marwahr55]

Yep, timer on my animal buildings is way off this morning too. As an example it said I still had 4 1/2 hrs left on my dairy and they were more than ready to harvest (last was 12 hrs ago) and so forth with the others too.

Is there any way to harvest more catfish, salmon and tuna? Or will there be further Dan Levels? Or will a new train car bring in fish, too?

But if this is the only complaint I have, it's really nothing - thanks for a fun game in the meantime! :)

[maggiel29]

Just noticed that the train timer and the mini games timer is there now behind the "clock" - thank-you.
Still dont think my animal sheds are showing the right times but I will check in the morning when I harvest them again.

[Texas Belle]

Ok, I have a question... have not played or anything in 10 days since I went into the hospital to have total knee replacement, today first day I come in and my animal sheds are missing from my facilities manager list, tried going productivity, alphabetically and nothing... My sheds are at the farms so I did them one by one even some did not show me the amount I was getting but that is was upgrading... can't be sitting down in front of computer that much yet, but would like to find my sheds like they were before...
I left and everything was fine, now poor animals are all over and they are the ones being picked on... anyway, I will come back tomorrow and see if this has been resolved...

The animal buildings show if you set the funnel filter in the facility manager to All facilities on all farms and set the A-Z filter to Production chain.

[roxanne2]

The last 24 hours all my animal facilities are missing from my facilities manager list, they are on their respective farms but are not showing up in facilities manager no matter what 'sort' I use.
I know there had been some bugs you were working on w/ facilities manager, thought I would let you know about this one.

There was a change last night to correct the timing problem in the facility manager. Change your filter (the funnel) to All facilities on all farms and change the A-Z filter to Production chain.

[B]The mini fixes and more mini fixes and more are not helping our game become fun again. Hasn't anyone at SlashKey noticed how many have complained over the past year and for mainly the same issues over and over again?
Tonight again the time outs are killing my game. How would you like to have planted nearly an entire farm, all be it very slowly, only to suddenly have that click the green arrow....click the red....show up? Well folks how many of us have told you that the GREEN never works anymore? So I click the red and oh ya reload that farm, imagine my surprise to see only 1/3 planted!!!! /B]:mad:
Am ready to explode, post all over Tweet and Facebook to stay away from Farm Town, it's too broken to be a fun game. I'm that close now.
Can not understand why not one of you has responded to my post about a GENERAL SHUTDOWN in order for you all to do a thorough FULL MAINTENANCE. Keep ignoring what has to be done and eventually there will be no game due to no older players with the money to purchase the items that keep you in business.
Every other virtual game does a FULL GENERAL MAINTENANCE, shuts the game down for several hours and FIXES all the problems.
Not Farm Town, we farmers are plodding along working instead of having fun, becoming annoyed over and over again while you all do little fixes that don't really help the game due to something else being messed up with that fix.
Yes I'm angry that I wasted time and at the same time very sad, am losing my friends I began this game with since they've left too fed up to continue. Oh ya and they like me were heavy FARM CASH BUYERS!!
Have another friend, also a heavy supporter of FT ready to pack it all in. Yes you do have new people beginning the game daily. I do hope for your pocket books they are heavy spenders as those that are fleeing were.
Enough said since I'd do much better talking to that wall over there.:rolleyes:

[WillowTreeFarm]

GarrettHillBabe, I am so sorry you and your friends are having so much trouble. It must be so frustrating for slashkey to have the game work so poorly for some farmers and work so well for others. My husband is on wf 8 and I am on wf 10 and neither one of us has ever experienced any of the problems that so many post about. I wish I had an answer for you to help. I hate to think of farmtown shutting down because so many have left and taken their money with them. This game has been a life saver for both my husband and I as we fought some pretty nasty health problems and we would truly miss it.

[rjohn726]

You're probably aware that the times to harvest all the anamials like the chicken coop are always wrong, you do know that don't you. Every day those are wrong.

Also every time as I always do an 8 hour later set of things on my farms because of that time frame and those times are in error.

[Taz D]

The timing for the animal buildings is correct and does reset when you harvest them. The problem is if you don't harvest them when the count gets down to 0 it automatically rolls over and starts again. It should stop or blank out when a building is ready to be harvested. As it is right now it doesn't help. If you are not there to harvest when they are ready but look a couple hours later it shows time left before harvest when it is actually ready. This is very confusing.

they have had general shut down and so many farmers complained about it because they could not play the game. and the game is a beta game and so there will be issues and gliches to deal with. have you ever been around here when people can not get on the their farms. we get a lot of stuff that we the farmers who come here and ask for it we usualy get it.. if you want a general shut down more people will have to ask for one you would have a better chance for them to do one. I hope you get one

Thanks Taz, they showed up this morning and was able to harvest them... thanks so much... back to bed and elevated/iced leg... maybe I can come back and do a little more later...
Again thanks,

Just noticed that the train timer and the mini games timer is there now behind the "clock" - thank-you.
Still dont think my animal sheds are showing the right times but I will check in the morning when I harvest them again.

I had boosted my one train yesterday afternoon when it had 22 hours to go and it got down to 10 to go about 5pm. That would make it ready at 3am. Your post reminded me about it so I went and checked and the clock said it had 18 hours to go. I went to the train and it was ready to unload, so I did that and sent it back out. Now the clock says 7D for that train, as it should. Still a little glitchy, but it's trying. :)

Well touch wood mine is showing OK at the mo :)

[rjohn726]

Well the cows now say its 7.9 hrs. before I can get the milk. So I just got that milk anyhow, and even tho the system said I needed to wait 7.9 hours, which is a lie.

Just passing that info on to you. I’m sure that you can do better at knowing if I actually need to wait or not to get the milk. That time now seems to be correct for the first time by the way since that feature was added. Now it would be nice to start that time count after I actually get the milk and not before I get the milk.

Thanks for working on that by the way. Getting better is good.

However, just a thought I had was that you always are counting the time for those. Which would be a forever loop in the time counting, which would be alright with me, but I do like that blank when ready to harvest.

[liza1214]

RE: 1st feb animal shed fixes

I think what is happening is the time starts counting again when it reaches the ready to harvest time instead of stopping till we harvest them. This morning when I went to harvest my dairy sheds there was 5.9 hours left but I know that wasn't right because it had been way more then 8 hours since I last harvested them.

[KnightRider]

Mine is working fine, my dairy shed I didn't harvest for way over 8 hours and just now harvested it, I knew it was ready there was no time showing, and when I refreshed the facility manager it shows the correct time of 7.9 hours

[neetys]

I keep clearing my mem cache and refreshing but the animal facility times are still way off.

I've noticed too the new train times are correct only if you haven't boosted the train. If you've boosted a train you need to deduct 24 hours from the time.

[rjohn726]

My Dairy sheds said Ready in 11 mins. So I processed them anyway to get the milk

My Chicken Coop said ready in 16 hours. So I processed them anyway to get the eggs.

The others all said ready in 16 hours and weren’t ready, so that’s what happened this morning.

It really isn't beneficial to me what you with these counts as I process them every day. But others may not like to see these errors.

[Aussie Rae]

well I am not worried if the times are incorrect, I just click on one to see...if its ready I do all the rest..if not, no worries...lol

[1fritz]

well I am not worried if the times are incorrect, I just click on one to see...if its ready I do all the rest..if not, no worries...lol

I do the same I collect animal products at about the same time each morning.

The timer is not a concern for me.

[rockhopper]

Hi,

I'm now finding that the animal buildings in facilty manager do show the correct times until they are ready (if look at them up until that point) - then it seems that if you don't harvest them straight away, they then start to count down again. For example mine would have been ready a few hours ago and when I actually got to them they were displaying ready in 5.3hrs :confused:

Hope this info is some help to the devs

[melanie-hamilton]

Mine still doesn't work, it shows animals not ready when they are. This tool is not necessary, rather have increased production in non-workables. Just my opinion. :)

[dave1949]

There are now 3 issues, correct times for harvesting animals,----- game very slow (cleared cache) ------------- enqueing when trying to do more than one at a time, this can take mins to complete. Pls get it right before anymore updates

[JW2009]

OK..."Known Issues:

- None"
Well it seems that many of us are having Issues with the timing of Sheds.
Mine was exactly the same, weird and i also harvested them.My Dairy sheds said Ready in 11 mins. So I processed them anyway to get the milk

My Chicken Coop said ready in 16 hours. So I processed them anyway to get the eggs.

The others all said ready in 16 hours and weren’t ready, so that’s what happened this morning.

It really isn't beneficial to me what you with these counts as I process them every day. But others may not like to see these errors.

[rjohn726]

My cows in the Dairy Shed say that they will be ready to Harvest in 7.1 hours, so I went ahead and harvested them, as they are ready to harvest now.

[rjohn726]

At this time now those Dairy sheds say they will be ready in about 7.7 hours, which is about correct.

I'll let you know tomorrow what they are then as it was around 2:30 here in central time when I harvested them then therefore 8 hours of ro so later they would have been ready or 8 hours later those would have been ready or some time around 10:30 PM and it was around 5:30 this morning when they asid 7.1 hours to go. Therefore is 10:30 pm + 7.1 hrs = 5:30 this morning then you are actually close, but not quite correct I feel

[SunnyD]

all the animal sheds times are incorrect for me.. and oh my gosh the game is soo slow ... still having fun though..

[beverduster]

whats confusing to me is when i get reADY O SELL THE EXCESS AT THE MARKET, it has my barns and want to no if i want to sell them. if i sell them do i loose my barns ad animals i have in them or are they talkin about wool that has been processed off the animals?

[earlgray]

Yup, that's pretty much how it is for me too, they say they aren't ready when they are and vice versa. I collect milk 2x per day, eggs & manure 1x per day, and the rest every other day, so this theoretically just helps me know whether it's the day to collect that last bit of stuff, but it sure seems to be fraught with problems.

If you are referring to the animal buildings seen in the Non-ingredients those are ghosts from this last release. That glitch has been fixed. So you can sell them and they will not appear there again. They are not your buildings with the animals in them that are on your farms.

[maggiel29]

Well touch wood my animal sheds are showing at the end of the facility manager now when I sorted into done or utilization. The timings seem right on the Dairy Shed and Pig Sty but the others are still showing the wrong times although I can still actually harvest them even though they say not ready.
Nearly there!
I imagine its problematic because the animal sheds arent exactly like the other facilities but the Devs are working on it

[rjohn726]

It’s 5:25 now and the Dairy Shed says ready in 48 minutes, so I got the milk just fine. The Chicken Coop said ready in 15.9 hours, so I got those eggs also. The wool shed said ready in 1.3 days so I got them also. Just passing this info on.

I hope for better days ahead.

[JuneRedding]

Hi all just to let ya know my shed times are still all over the place :( I know it will be put right eventually. I am still enjoying my game and look forward to the changes each month ;) will jump for joy when you get round to making the animal storage from trains and store easier, like gifts for instance tee hee thank you for everything else so far :)

[dorissau]

Any chance the timing of animal harvests in the facility manager will be fixed soon? Mine still shows all kinds of weird times and I have to just ignore it and click them as I used to do... sometimes it shows 12.3 hours until ready and I click and collect.. other times it shows "ready" and nothing will harvest. You need to change the notice that there are "no known issues" because many of my neighbors are also complaining.

[JW2009]

ok it is obvious we have shed problems, why haven't anyone from DEV or anyone from here actually acknowledge that there is a problem with the times shown. I am getting tired of reading about the times being wrong and nothing from SLASHKEY ???????? Why

[Petuniaflower]

My shed times are actually accurate. What may confuse some My cow shed right now reads 1.7 hours which is right. When it reaches 0.0 it automatically starts again at 8.0 even if I haven't harvested yet. Say it reads 7.6 when I do harvest, when you reload your game it will have corrected and be right.

[rjohn726]

Its 2:25 and those Dairy sheds say ready in 7 Hours, it’s time so I harvested them. The Chicken coops say ready in 11 hours which is about right, if a day is 20 hours as I harvested them around 5:30 this morning as it's 2:30 pm now is about 9 hours later and 11 more hours from now would be 1:30 tomorrow morning. They will be ready tomorrow at around 5:30 am when I start.

when you reload your farm the Dairy will be correct. For some reason it starts the next 8 hours even when you haven't harvested yet. So if you know about what time your dairy needs harvested and it shows 7 some hours or 6 etc, very good chance you can harvest :) I have it figured out I think, but if it is confusing for some ,maybe they will fix it.

[beverduster]

If you are referring to the animal buildings seen in the Non-ingredients those are ghosts from this last release. That glitch has been fixed. So you can sell them and they will not appear there again. They are not your buildings with the animals in them that are on your farms.

thanks taz, but the way ft has been doing for the last 3 months i think ill leave them there, lord only knows what will happen to this game next

[max_river]

timing is still wrong but it is something i can live with i know when to harvest anyways

[Taz D]

More corrections to the animal buildings has been done. When I went to harvest my dairy it was blank showing as ready. It is showing the correct time. I think they got it this time. Of course you will have to wait until all are harvested for the change to be correct.

[max_river]

ty for the info taz. i guess players will be happy about it. i only harvest once a day during the week because i do not always have time to do it more than that so not a big deal for me

[Petuniaflower]

Raul, just harvested my dairy sheds Things are WORKING GREAT, correct time, blank when ready, correct time when to harvest again. :D I really wasn't sweating it,because of my short memory,I always wrote down when I harvested anyway. So I knew when to check. have a Great Evening!!!!

[JW2009]

Hi, thank you for fixing the sheds, mine are good too :)

[CynthiaSue]

My animal buildings in the facility manager are now saying the correct times as well.

Yes exactly - mine are good too. Really appreciate it.

[rjohn726]

Today all the Dairy sheds and Chicken coops are blank as they should be. The wool sheds all say ready in 15.8 as they should and that seem correct to me. The Pigsty were all blank as they should be and the Rabbits and stable say 15.8 except stable on 4 which I added yesterday

Thanks, as all look ok at this time to me

[marwahr55]

I am getting a little upset with Farm Town right now. Don't know if it's happening to others but I use Chrome when I play. When it comes to posting bonus' not all will get posted. No I'm not talking about tons of bonus' - what I'm talking about is one or two that you get for that day and they don't post!! I've lost out again on kiwi and octopus ... help!! Otherwise I'm happy ... but items you'd like to have and don't get extra sucks!!! Lost out on my one and only bonus the other day of Oak Logs - now that was just the last straw since it was my final Dan on them. We need more Dans please on items like Oak Logs, Cod, Salmon, etc.

and chicken, and meat too:eek:

[maggiel29]

Yes I would love more Dans on items that we are always short of.
The clock doesnt alter time wise to show when a train has been boosted but it shows when its returned so Im OK with that but I would like a section to show when crops are ready or about to waste or something similar.

[bruhelmboldt]

I WUZ ROBBED!!

I've been losing bait and milk. Been stashing milk for weeks, now it's all gone. Bait disappears before my eyes. And now the server says my quest bonus isn't available right now, check back later, then the quest disappears. Whassup with that???

I sympathize with you about the really good bonus's that one miss's out on because of the unavailable thing. And there is no way to go back later and retrieve them.

I'm glad you posted this, because I think I've been robbed too .I know that I have quite a few facilities that use them, but I was down to my last 150 silver nuggets, they all disappeared !

So now I've got the long task of building up my supply again. The gold and the diamonds are ok, they're as they should be, but the silver went way too low in the space of a couple of days.

this is not a new thing....

a few years back one of my farms "lost" over 400,000 onions when my inventory went from about 480k to under 50k.... overnight.

it was the only item affected at that time... perhaps the problem is not big enough, or wide spread enough to cause concern to the devs to address it.

[JW2009]

Hi, I'm having issues with Farm Town being sensitive with the mouse clicking things or selecting things quickly before you can actually select what you want. I try to plant and hit the white seeder/plow/harvest tool and then the crops menu shows up, but before i can select what crop it already clicked on whatever the mouse was pointing on and it then seeds it before i even have a chance to move my mouse.

Are you using a mouse or a touchpad? If it is a touchpad then check your settings and turn the sensitivity down. If it is a mouse it may be time to replace it as it sounds like the swith for the clicking is wearing out and clicking multiple times.

[JW2009]

Yes, my son loaned my his mouse and now it works fine, Thanks TazAre you using a mouse or a touchpad? If it is a touchpad then check your settings and turn the sensitivity down.

[pisces16]

I lost thousands of hens eggs. Just pleased I'm not the only one you has lost stuff.

[StoneFace]

so the "DIM" feature has been tweeked....

now when I work anothers' farm, say trees, ..... everything else just vanished, not just dimmed

kinda cool....

thanks devs


.

[tengunn]

They added an option in the preferences. You can have the other items either dimmed or hidden. I prefer them hidden. Makes it very easy to get everything.

What I would like to see now is an addition in the times for when crops are done. It would have to be the first crop on a farm since many different crops are often planted on each farm.

This was a great upgrade. Very much looking forward to the next.

Thanks for all your hard work Developers.

[preston_digitation]

ho hum, all out of me chicken... but lots of facs use now, so maybe we could get an increase on the semi items, and DEFINITELY the fish!! i had a ton stockpiled, but my ton has dwindle to the 100+ i have left. please increase the fish out puts on the next release, and while i am whining, how about a LOAD ALL for the facs?? LOLLL, this was a great release, really like the timer in the game, telling me when everything is ready to be fert, or tinkled, or to send trains. that is brilliant!! isnt it about time for a sneaky dev to come in and close this thread? LOLLLLL

that happened at the last update, lol

[GarrettHillBabe]

they have had general shut down and so many farmers complained about it because they could not play the game. and the game is a beta game and so there will be issues and gliches to deal with. have you ever been around here when people can not get on the their farms. we get a lot of stuff that we the farmers who come here and ask for it we usualy get it.. if you want a general shut down more people will have to ask for one you would have a better chance for them to do one. I hope you get one

[B]Are you saying there was an official, well published in advance shut down to repair the game when as broken as it is now? Can't see how I missed that if was prior to 2012....Now if this was in 2012 it is possible I missed it due to cancer treatments taking their toll and not playing daily. However I've asked around, especially those long time farmer friends of mine who totally quit Farm Town within the past 2 weeks due to it being so broken it's impossible to plant several farms (NO LAYERS) in a timely manner and to a farmer they all said couldn't ever remember a shut down for a few hours to repair.
We all do remember there being a few times since 2009 we haven't been able to get into the game and being told was a Facebook issue but other than those times (no warning lock outs) no one can remember there being a general maintenance lock out for a couple hours./B]

[GarrettHillBabe]

GarrettHillBabe, I am so sorry you and your friends are having so much trouble. It must be so frustrating for slashkey to have the game work so poorly for some farmers and work so well for others. My husband is on wf 8 and I am on wf 10 and neither one of us has ever experienced any of the problems that so many post about. I wish I had an answer for you to help. I hate to think of farmtown shutting down because so many have left and taken their money with them. This game has been a life saver for both my husband and I as we fought some pretty nasty health problems and we would truly miss it.

I guess I should hope I connect to either of those servers you folks do as WF 6 server seems to have big problems.
I just would like to see Slash after publishing a date and times to do a general shut down for a full maintenance and thereby locating and repairing all or at least many of the glitches accumulating with each addition to our game.
After talking with a tech friend of mine who happens to play a virtual game himself this type of maintenance is normal practice once games develop to the point Farm Town has. The game he plays does this now 2x a year, uses a banner at log on to warn players of an upcoming down time for general maintenance which may last an hour or two. According to Shawn the gamers appreciate the upkeep as it makes for a more enjoyable game.
My player friends decided they'd waited long enough for Slash to straighten out and the fun come back to the game. Yes they were big spenders. A couple had more than one of each FC facility on farms, no not duplicates on a farm. They just got tired of being frustrated.
Now myself I haven't left yet but won't be spending anymore real money until I can be a farmer again. Been harvesting and storing and not replanting until I can plant a farm using that darn tool I paid real money for to plant as fast as it should. As it stands now was a waste of cash since I choose the seed and click to plant 64 fields and sit and wait to be able to continue, farm is frozen SAVING after each 64! Way too much time as since my treatments my body just can't sit as long as it takes now to do 12 farms. Those same farms I used to breeze through now take hours.
I miss playing FT myself however due to my illness and subsequent treatments taking their toll on my body I just can't sit at the computer waiting and waiting for FT to save every time I do something be it harvest/plow/plant or even using facility manager to load my facilities what was supposed to save us time now takes way too much time to get it to work.
So I'll wait and see, will let my farms sit, will check with other farmers who've had same or similar troubles to see if cleared up. Then will attempt to plant, if still a headache in say a month it'll be goodbye and this old gal will pack it all in and zip my wallet too. I'll join my former farmer friends for lunch out, spend what would've gone into FT for lunch with the girls.

[JuneRedding]

Just to say thanks guys my sheds are working great now :) xxxx

[jeannieb]

Thought we could fertilize all our farms at once?

[Taz D]

Thought we could fertilize all our farms at once?
Only if you own the green Manure Spreader and only if they need fertilizing.

[KnightRider]

Thought we could fertilize all our farms at once?

Did you purchase the green manure spreader? It takes the green manure spreader which is an upgrade to the orange manure spreader to be able to fertilize all farms at once.

I recall a few official shut downs, but not recently. It would have been back in late 2009 - 2011. FT was shut down for a few hours for "maintenance". They gave an estimation of the restarting time, once I recall they restarted when they said they would, another time they ran late.

The notification appeared above the farm. It was the same style as for all official announcements that we get occasionally.

The reason why u may not have heard of it is cos the shut downs start at midnight US Eastern Standard time. But I'm in Australia, so those shut downs occur in our early afternoon. I know I'm not mistaken about this cos the first time it happened I had to go to a world time site to translate what time of day it was going to affect me. So, on thinking about it, they did give us notice but don't recall how many hours it was.

Also, I was unable to be online from November 2011 to mid 2012 so I can't speak for that period of time.

[Texas Star]

I remember general shut downs for maintenance/repair for FT. I believe there were issues with some crops withering while it was closed...and of course people frustrated when they could not get in to play right away. There was a note that it was closed so we would know what was happening.

[Adrien]

the future of this game is alot more stable then that of any zynga game. they've shut down 11 in the last few months and have way more problems then farmtown does or ever did.
