New Release -- July 11th, 2013

[Raul]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at July 17th, 4:20PM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. All Topiaries are now in coins. Father's Day items moved to the Other, Fun and Furniture categories.

2. 34 x 34 Farm Expansions for farms 11 - 15: 30 FarmCash OR

Farm 11 Expansion: 6000,000,000
Farm 12 Expansion: 7000,000,000
Farm 13 Expansion: 8000,000,000
Farm 14 Expansion: 9000,000,000
Farm 15 Expansion: 9000,000,000

3. Search in Facility Manager: There is a new Search icon in the Facility Manager to make it easier to locate facilities if you have a lot of them, notice that in this case the search is not a filter, it doesn't hide anything, it just position the facility you are searching for in the viewing area.

You can use the UP and Down keys to jump to the next facility matching the search pattern.

4. Tools Shortcut Improvements: The panning tool (the one with the 4 arrows), the plow and the harvest tool can now be replaced by any tool in the extended tool box. For example, you can now have the higher harvest tool, the plow combine and the sow combine in the main panel as well.

Notice that the panning tool and the original plow and harvest tool are shown in the first row of the Shortcut Manager window in case you want them back.

5. Turbo Tools for Regular Facilities: The new Turbo tools 'Turbo Belt Dryer' and 'Turbo Loader' allows you to Start Products in multiple Drying Facilities and Facilities handling heavy loads with one click. To use these tools use the 'Start All' button in the Facility Manager.

Click the Tool help icon in the Store (?) to check what facilities are operated with these new tools.

6. Ingredient Planner: This will help you understand better the ingredient consumption in a facility, for example, if you click the new green help icon (?) inside a facility the planner will show you all the ingredients and quantities that are required to fill up to capacity (15 days of production) that facility.

The first number shown under the ingredient is the amount needed to fill up to capacity the facility. If there is a red number next to it, it means you don't have enough in storage and you will need that other amount to fill up the facility.

If you mouse over the ingredient icon it will show you the name and the amount stored for that ingredient.

When you click the help icon for a facility in the Store or the Facility Manager the default view will appear, but you can access the Ingredient Planner by the link on the top.

In the future we will add more functionality to this screen, so you can select a specific product or certain time frames like 1, 7 or 15 days, or even a time frame that is equivalent to the current capacity available.

7. Better Storage Management: In the previous release we added the capability to sort by "Ingredient Importance" in the Storage and Market windows, however the Importance for a particular ingredient was calculated based on all available facilities in the game, not only those that you owned, so for example, if you do not own any of the restaurants the Flour will still appear high in the list.

There is a new sorting now named "Ingredient Importance (for me)" that will take into account the facilities that you currently own, so in this case, if you do not own any of the restaurants, the Flour will appear lower in the list and you will see in the top of the list only the ingredients that are more important to the facilities that you already own.

8. Farm Selector Improvements: There is a new button in the top row of the Farm Selector named 'Show Names' which will show you a bigger screen with all the farm names to make the farm switching experience easier and faster.

9. Offline Messages System Improvements: The Message List window is now bigger and it shows the Facebook first name along with the avatar name, and also a preview of the message. If you want to know the date of the message it is now shown in the detailed message window along with the full message body.

10. Other Improvements and bug fixes:

- When you sort by 'Utilization' or 'Done' in the facility Manager we now apply an additional sub-sorting by 'Alphabetical' and 'Farm Number' so all the same facilities appear grouped together
- When switching farms in full screen mode the target farm now remains in the same position on the screen, not shifted to the bottom right
- Before this release when visiting others you would never see more than 300 animals in a farm, now those first 300 animals are more spread through out the farm, not only the top part of the farm
- When a Batch can't be started in a facility instead of showing +0 inside the button we just remove the button

11. Film Making Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Film Making Supplies.

Fake Moustaches
Western Cart
Director Chair
Viking Armor
Cinema Roll
Clapperboard
Pirate Flag
Mechanical Shark

New Products in other facilities: Gelatin in the Semi-Trailer Truck

12. Interior Design Decor Factory (Coins): Produces Interior Design Decorations.

Plant Decor
Fish Tail Decor
Room Divider
Sofa Cushion
Antique Centerpiece
Candle with Holder
Fire Logs Holder
Exotic Chair

New Products in other facilities: Glass Bowl in the Glass Factory

13. Movie Studio (FC): Provides Film Making Services and can be stocked with all products from the Film Making Supplies Factory.

14. Home Decor Store (Coins): Provides Interior Design Retail Services and can be stocked with all products from the Interior Design Decor Factory.

Enjoy!

Post Release Updates - July 12th, 2:30PM EST

- Turbo Loader is now fixed and should be visible on farms.

Post Release Updates - July 13th, 2:00AM EST

- If you have some of the Facility Tools, then the "Ingredient Importance (for me)" sorting now takes into account only the products that are currently enabled in the facility. So for example, if you own lot of facilities that can make products with Flour, but inside those facilities you disable (clear checkbox) those products requiring Flour because you are not interested in making them, then the Flour will be less important.

Post Release Updates - July 17th, 4:20PM EST

- Some users were having issues placing some of the tools on some of the shortcut spots due to a constant yellow blinking square, specially after going to full screen and back to normal screen, and mainly for Google Chrome users. This should now be fixed.

- When hired the panning tool (4 arrows) and the single plow and harvest tool should now be visible again in the main panel if applicable.

Note: If you have already placed another tool on the single harvest tool spot and you are hired to a single Job, then you still can access the single harvest tool from the contracted tool box (above the yellow Dozer tool), this is helpful when you need to switch to that single harvest tool in order to harvest flower or trees that are too difficult with the multi-tool.

Known Issues:

- None

Bought the 2 new Turbo tools, however the Turbo Loader showed a blank instead of the picture and does not show on the farm. I know I have it because it shows in the Facility Manager Start All button. Also still says Buy instead of Duplicate in the store.

Hi All, the developers have been advised about the problem with the Turbo Loader not being visible.

[WyoSugar]

The first glitch...The Turbo Loader is disappearing as soon as it hits the farm. You can't see it, but it does "work" in the facility manager

It took my FC but there's no loader sitting there....

[Rob T]

Hi, The devs have been advised about the problem with the Turbo Loader not being visible

[Jean Lunsford]

I purchased the turbo loaded (belt dryer too), I got the belt dryer but the image of the turbo loader did not show up and while I am out $40 I do not have the loader available to use. I loaded facilities after the purchases and thought maybe it would be there if not showing up for me to add to storage but it is not usable there either. Help! Thanks, Jean Lunsford

[lollipopthebunny]

WOW Alot of new stuff! Will be interesting to figure it all out! I still haven't figured some things from last update.

Thanks Raul!!! :):)

[Momma Woods]

Thanks Raul and Dev team for the update. Now to go and see what I can find and afford. Learn how things work

Bought the turbo loader and it has disappeared. No where to be found. did all the stuff that is always advised to no avail.

[Jean Lunsford]

The first glitch...The Turbo Loader is disappearing as soon as it hits the farm. You can't see it, but it does "work" in the facility manager

:( Mine is not working, I had thought it might but it is not. I cannot see it just as you say but it also does not work. :confused:

[RFMad]

Hey Raul
Thanks so the additional TURBO TOOLS!
Tried to buy the Turbo Loader when I clicked on it to purchase there are no pics in the boxes to choose the model I want. Please help :)
Thanks!

Same for me - at least it didn't take my money. I guess because I didn't click on the blank picture.

[Texas Belle]

Thanks Raul and Co., have been waiting for the turbos, yayy ... now if only the loader would appear at my farm I would be a happy camper.. but I am sure you will fix the problem... You guys rock..

[Jean Lunsford]

Same here Taz, bought mine and its not showing, but the money is gone and I know I placed it on a clean space...

Same here, mine is on farm 1, Riverfront Village. I would have stored it if I could have seen it. ALSO it does not work as some say their's is working. I don't have another $40 FC to try again and why bother anyway? I was really looking forward to using these too. :(

[chrisluvsanimals]

[crafty chris]

[Lee Ann]

The turbo loader is invisible right now but it des work from the facility manager even thou you can't see it , it filled all my for me , love it !!! Great update again as always thanks Devs !!!

[Taz D]

The developers have been informed about the invisible turbo loader. It does work and they are working on it.

[Aussie Rae]

Bought the 2 new Turbo tools, however the Turbo Loader showed a blank instead of the picture and does not show on the farm. I know I have it because it shows in the Facility Manager Start All button. Also still says Buy instead of Duplicate in the store.

Thanks for the update Raul.

same thing happened to me!! :) its is working, I just used it and all the facs are now fully loaded ( clicked on the ? to see which ones it will do, when viewing it in the store)

[Lance75231]

i see other are having issues with turbo loader, i bought mine and it disappeared on my farm 19, i can only use it when i am on farm 19....i am sure it will get fixed, thanks again for the updates

[bluehair]

oooh love the ingrediant planer can now see which ingrediants I need :)

[FarmerWitch]

Thanks for the update :-)

I bought the turbo loader and place it on my farm and it has disappeared

[maggiel29]

love it - farm names option and the ingredient planner and new shortcut spaces especially - got to go try them out - thank you thank you

[maggiel29]

Re: The shortcuts menu and the spaces for plow and harvest. I am finding it impossible to drop a new icon in the spaces for the plower and harvester. The yellow highlight will not stay "still" long enough for me to drop the tool I want.
The other spaces work fine.

[al_bundy]

thanks Raul Fantastic :)

[Farmgirl_Su]

great update and love the new farm selector by name..
to make it perfect it would change color to indicate where our workers are on it. sometimes i have to search 16 farms to find if the worker is still woking more important where they are working..

[SunnyD]

one of my fav's in the updates --- 3. Search in Facility Manager: There is a new Search icon in the Facility Manager to make it easier to locate facilities if you have a lot of them, notice that in this case the search is not a filter, it doesn't hide anything, it just position the facility you are searching for in the viewing area.

cool new toys

[marymarcel]

Thank you so much Raul!!

[StoneFace]

yeah...

and a day earlier than most would have expected.

did not get to finish the "real" version of Farm Town Hansel & Gretel, but I will.

:rolleyes:

[bjyhey3]

I bought the new Turbo Loader last night and like everyone else it appeared to not be there so I tried again only to have the same thing happen. I didn't notice my FC at the time I was only thinking I didn't really buy it. I went back to see if it would say "duplicate" and it didn't so I tried again with the same results. It doesn't show up in my storage but it does show up as a "start up" tool in my Facility Manager and it does work. Because it appeared to not be a successful "buy" and bought it the second time for another 40 FC and would like a refund for the second purchase please. Could you instruct me on how to do that please.
Thank You

The updates are awesome as usual!

Hi! the developers have been advised about this problem and are working to fix it.

From Raul


Known Issues:

- Turbo Loader turns invisible in the store and farm. This will be fixed sometime later today (Friday). In the mean time it will work as expected if you open the facility manager on the same farm that you placed the Turbo Loader initially. We will disable the tool in the store until tomorrow.

[yramski]

What do you mean by the "market Window" I see the "storage window" and sorting items used by "me" but I don't know what you mean by the market window or how to open it. Thanks for the updates.

[Dutch85]

Awesome update, as usual! I love it all! Thank you Raul!

[Peggy Quinn Mooneyhan]

Thank you Farm Town for all the new improvements I wish you can now make the game go a little faster while working your own farms :) Time to play some more!!

[1fritz]

Thank you Raul and Devs. Like the farm expansions, the new option with the name. Actually a there's lot here to like as usual.
Thank you again.

[Farmer Rabbit]

You state: "9. Offline Messages System Improvements: The Message List window is now bigger and it shows the Facebook first name along with the avatar name, and also a preview of the message. If you want to know the date of the message it is now shown in the detailed message window along with the full message body."

I choose an avatar name. I do NOT want Farm Town to publish my actual name. You do NOT have my permission to do so. Can you prohibit this please? ty Please respond quickly. I am concerned.

[MysticalMomzz]

The turbo loader will work if you load you facilities on the farm you placed it on. That is how I am using it until I can see it and put it in storage.

[docmm6]

Tried to fill facilities like I normally do using the utilization order. Nothing changes on amount or diversification rank or anything. I always just kept mouse in 1 spot and facilities changed automatically, now they just sit there. I can close the manager, reopen it and the stuff is creditied then. This really is time consuming. Hope it gets fixed quickly. I use chrome and vista operating system. I haven't seen anyone else post this problem.

[Clockworx]

Thank you for the improvements but still no change to the crude oil production?????

[Berle]

Thanks, really appreciate the search facilities and the info on ingredients needed.

[Texas Star]

Some very interesting stuff! Ty!

I see the farm indicators are still disappearing as soon as you reach a farm to work facilities. I bought the irrigation sprinkler and have been watering flowers when I go to work facilities, then watered the farms where there were no facilities. Now I cannot see where I have been already. It would be so helpful if the farm indicator just changed color... red, purple, blue... so people could see where they have worked and those of us who need to visit the other farms would know where we have already been.

(I just worked the facilities in sequence so didn't need the disappearing farms) Not all farms have flowers so taking the extra time to hover over the farm indicator looking for a "w" and so I didn't go back to farms that had facilities where I'd already been. I have also noticed that I go to a farm without a "W" that does have flowers and I sometimes get the 'Cannot water again' message.

Raul, perhaps you could pass this on to Developers, or move this to a more appropriate thread :) I have the red sprinkler. I didn't buy the others because there is no option to water crops, flowers, and trees separately. I cannot get enough farms to isolate everything by time to maturity, so much of the benefit of using the sprinkler would be hit or miss.

[Orx]

Thanks Raul and Devs for another great update. Looking forward to getting the turbo loader it (along with the other tools) will save so much time in loading the facilities.

[dorissau]

YAY.. thank you so much for the new "arrow" option so we can put our biggest tools in the shortcuts section. I've been asking for that option for the longest time!! You devs are the BEST in responding to the players' suggestions!!

[Audrey45]

I haven't said much lately on here but still playing and no problem with anything. Always enjoy the update, always sitting here waiting on them lol Thanks for all the fun you give me

[Texas Belle]

Turbo loader still not showing either on farm or storage. Has it been fixed yet? Thanks

[Tony D]

Turbo loader still not showing either on farm or storage. Has it been fixed yet? ThanksHi, not as far as I know , hopefully it will be soon.

[Texas Belle]

Hi, not as far as I know , hopefully it will be soon.

Ok, but now cannot even work with it, it has dimmed on my start all, at least yesterday I was able to work with it now nothing, zilch, nada... Tony I cannot pay for another one, so hope mine turns back in my farm since it took my money already...:)

[Deborah1979]

This looks like another good update, with things to really help us manage our farms. Really like the sorting ability in market by ingredients that are important to ME!! :D
Just wondered if Rob T or one of the mods could update Chapter 13 of the Game Guide with ingredients needed for the Film Making Supplies Factory??

The Interior Design Decor Factory list was added a few hours ago.

Thanks!! Will be checking back for the listing in Chapter 13!

You have to be on the farm that you purchased it on for it to show in the Start All and work. In other words it is there on that farm, but you just can't see it. You will not have to buy another one.

Thanks Taz, I guess since I have the fac mgr on the shortcuts maybe I have to be on that farm. Will try again, thanks again..

You will have to contact Support about that. Nothing can be done through the forums for it. To contact them click on the link below, fill out the form, and submit it. Be patient as it cvan take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks for them to get back to you depending on how many tickets are ahead of yours.

[preston_digitation]

anyone else notice that the "best" diversification rank is not there now? there's a spot for it, it just isn't there...trying to figure out how to post a screen shot of it...

[Taz D]

Mine is there. Are you missing anything else?

[preston_digitation]

let's try this now, this should hopefully be a screen shot of where my best diversification rank SHOULD be....https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1001872_562871703753918_1225189652_n.jpg

[preston_digitation]

Mine is there. Are you missing anything else?

and no Taz, just the number that should be my best ranking is all...

[marwahr55]

Having fun with the new update. Just hope the next update helps finish out the remaining facilities to fill up with just a click of the button. <hint, hint> Again, thanks Devs for an enjoyable game! :)

[preston_digitation]

and yes, i just ran the ft memcache cleaner, and it is still poof'd... weird.

[Taz D]

let's try this now, this should hopefully be a screen shot of where my best diversification rank SHOULD be....https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1001872_562871703753918_1225189652_n.jpg
Is it possible you have high numbers Pending and Done? That may be what is pushing your Best off the screen.

[max_river]

thanks for update

[Dutch85]

YAY! The Turbo loader fills the oil pump and both the mines! This is huge since I have so many of those! THANK YOU!!!!

[Pustekuchen]

Grrrrr, I re-arranged my facilities in the manager and put the facilities that need to be filled manually to the top...now my facility manager won't open . The avatar behind it keeps saying "I'm busy"
I cleared the memcache and nothing !
:mad:

And I can't get to my other farms, just # 2 ???!!

[Taz D]

:mad:
If you are trying to open it while your avatar is doing something (harvesting, plowing, etc.) then it will not open the facility manager or storage until the avatar is finished or you refresh the farm to complete the work.

[docmm6]

When I filled my facilities always used utilization setting so all I had to
do was keep clicking without moving my mouse because facilities kept
changing as I filled, plus the diversification rank would change
accordingly. This morning nothing changed as I tried to do them, just stayed
in the same position. I would have to close the facility manager, then
reopen it and then I could see what I had done. Really doesn't matter now
because done the filling just a little while ago and everything worked fine.
So whatever the gremlin was it seems to be gone now.

[Pustekuchen]

If you are trying to open it while your avatar is doing something (harvesting, plowing, etc.) then it will not open the facility manager or storage until the avatar is finished or you refresh the farm to complete the work.

Taz, I am not doing anything, I have cleared the cache twice now and re-loaded FT 4 x..the manager will not open and when i try to go to another farm it just says"loading user" :(

ok, now it's working, after reloading about 10 times...what ever that was ..., and it's back to the old setting in the manager...what a mess!

[Taz D]

Taz, I am not doing anything, I have cleared the cache twice now and re-loaded FT 4 x..the manager will not open and when i try to go to another farm it just says"loading user" :(
I don't think it has anything to do with you re-arranging your facilities in the manager. That is probably just coincidence. Are you getting any time-outs or server disconnections?
Try clearing your memcache by clicking the link below, then when the page of unsetting text opens close it and your farm if it is open, then clear your browser cache and close your browser. Reopen and try again.

Thanks , Taz, that was the link I had used before and it did not make any difference.
I got into the manager now, but all the work of re-arranging it was for nothing, it's back to the old setting (and I had saved it after I re-arranged it)

But ty so much for trying to help !

Thanks for the great updates, however, I am one of those having the problem with moving tools to the main screen boxes as reported in your bugs. I am using:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Browser: Chrome
Flash: 11.8.800.97

Hoping this helps with this problem & kind regards.

[preston_digitation]

and now the best diversification rank is back as it should be! LOLLL

[anglnwhite]

Thank you so much for the update. I really appreciate the ability to see the farm names in the farm grid.

:) Thank you Raul! :)

I'm having trouble moving tools to the new short cut slots. Flash player version 11.7.700.225, OS Windows 7 (64bit), Google Chrome.


Edit 14 July: The tool short cut works for me in Internet Explorer even though my Flash player version is not the most recent.

[Docperk]

Thanks for updates and improvements. I like the updates that have been made to the messaging system so we can see more clearly when the message was sent.
I have a question about the design of the diamond farm selector, if it came straight down instead of the angle that it is in wouldn't it allow for all the coins to be displayed when you are in the billions?

[dnana]

Devs, thank you so much for the changes to the message system, it was really getting frustrating, and more shortcuts! Mine worked fine first time I tried them, XP, Chrome, newest version of Flash, sorry cAn't find the number, love it! Really appreciate your hard work on all of this stuff, you guys are awesome!

[Ms Helpful]

[Farm Lady]

Thanks for the wonderful updates! Love the enhanced organization improvements and new tools and facilities. I'm on Chrome and can't switch out tools at the moment but I'm sure it will work itself out in a day or so. Always does:)

Hi,

For your issues with gifts, messages and chat. It sounds like the game hasn't loaded correctly. Try clearing your FT memcache. To do that Click Here (https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?do=clear_memcached). A window will open with a list of "unsetting", that is the memcache being cleared. Close that window and FT if you have it open in another window. Clear your browser caches, close browser, then reload and see if that clears up those issue for you.

The red sprinkler can only be used once per day per farm. Plant all your seeds before you use it. If you have short growth crops and you harvest them then plant new, the new crops will not be affected. You will have to wait until the following day to speed up growth time.

[Cindi]

Over the weeks since the update before this last one (7/11/13) I seem to be having problems hiring others for working at my farms. If I hire for all 19 they might get 12 farms or they don't get the tools required for the jobs. I have had that same issue when I am being hired as well. I have cleared my memcache as well as the cache on Chrome. Is anybody else having this issue or have any suggestions for me?

[tnbravesgirl]

For some reason...now my single tools that are normally showing on the stationary board are now there when I am hired from the marketplace. Recently I was hired for JUST TREES...my tree tool appeared and as it did, my single harvesting tool is gone. Is there a reason for this? There are times when a farmer for whatever reason has planted a tree or flower that one is unable to harvest with the big tools and you have to revert to the single tool to complete the harvest for the bonus. Please explain....

[tnbravesgirl]

MY extended will not open when hired to just to TREES. There is no way possible to complete the harvest for bonus. Has been happening since last update, rather weird.....have also been hired for ALL JOBS and get to the person's farm and am unable to expand the extended toolbox. Seems like a glitch somewhere :(

Hi,

I've just tested with a flower only job and had the same problem. I've copied your posts into this thread where the developers will see them. We are going to continue testing this issue in the meantime.

ETA same thing happened with a harvest tree only job. All you get when you click on the extended tool box is access to camera, buddy, list, mini games and brown sprinkler.
What you can do for both harvest flowers or harvest tree only jobs, is reload the farm you are on and the single harvest tool will reappear in your hand.

ETA Tested....... All jobs all farms. You do get the extended tool box, but if you have used the shortcuts to move bigger tools to where the single tools were, you do not get the single tools to use.

ETA Tested chop only job. You don't get the full extended tool box, but it's not a problem as in the mini view you do get the single axe tool. ( along with buddy icon, camera, mobile sprinkler, mini games)

Conclusion : It would be good if the single tools could still be accessible for when you are hired to get the job completion bonus, because if the bigger tools miss an item and won't highlight it you need to switch to the single tool to complete the job. You can reload the farm to get the single harvest tool back, but it would be better if you didn't have to do that.

[DitzyLuvBug2]

This is very frustrating. Since the release, filling facilities that don't use the Start All Turbo's is slow to the very extreme. Click and wait, click and wait, then kill pages, then have to refresh, then go back to facility manager and start click and wait one by one extremely slower than normal. Yes I have done the mem cache reset, cleared cache/history, etc. and also tried another browser and same result. Please help. I am a mega farmer with over 1200 facilities and over 400 services. I need your help in getting this fixed desperately.

Thanks for your help!

I haven't had any problems with the new turbo tools. I don't leave them on the farms i add them to storage.. so far no problems

Hi Everyone, Just the usual friendly reminder, this thread is for Feedback on the new release , not suggestions or debate. Any posts that are not feedback about the New release , may be moved or deleted without notice.

If you do have a suggestion for changes to the game , please post in the Suggestion Section. :)

[tbearsszz]

someone please tell me why I cant send ft messages, i have no problem getting them but cant reply...why is this?

[FarmerMcLashwood]

someone please tell me why I cant send ft messages, i have no problem getting them but cant reply...why is this?

If you are reading them in full screen you won't be able to reply to them until you come out of the full screen.

You can only write messages whilst on normal screen not full size

[Brendie]

Please please fix my problems...I have cleaned caches, even cleaned my C disc, and did a defrag hoping this would fix the problems.
Still unable to post or recieve messages while playing farmtown. It comes up says loading but nothing is happening doesnt show that it is trying to go....so messages continue to build up on it. I am also unable to recieve or ignore on MY REQUESTS. I thought if I ignored and got rid of the gifts it would reset but they just came back. I am able to exchange the item but then it wont let me retrieve it. This game is getting very frustrating to me. I have too much time invested in this game to just give up on it. How can you find out how long you have been on the game or on facebook? Would appreciate any help at all.....I am out of ideas and have done what you have told me to do before with clearing the cache.....

[chrisluvsanimals]

Regarding the problem of not being able to get the single harvest tool when working on others farms...I had the same problem when there was one tree I couldn't harvest with the big tools. If you reload the farm by clicking on the farm selector, you won't lose your bonus, but as soon as it refreshes, you'll have the single harvest tool already "activated" so you can get those trees or flowers that the big tools won't work on.

Hope this helps until something else can be figured out!

[Farmer Rabbit]

When hired from market to work trees, either harvest or chop, the little directional clover on the brown stationary board at the bottom is missing. I have to click and drag the screen which is very difficult in some of these forests, instead of clicking the points on the 'clover' to move up or down, left or right. :) This is a new issue, but has been happening every time hired for trees of any ilk since this particular update. fyi.

[psycho_mommi]

totally agree - 2 big big +++ features
also still unable to change ones in the two new spaces in Chrome browser. Works in firefox and IE

[onamission]

Thank you for all the enhancements and improvements over the last few new releases.

I play FT to relax and enjoy the experience and it is becoming more and more pleasant with the annoying "little" things disappearing.

I love the short-cut tool feature. Minigames has been delegated to the back room and Facility Manager plus Quest are now up front. And when I'm remodelling I move the Green Hand there. It makes things so very much easier, thanks again! :D

Looking forward to that one-click animal shed tool too! :)

Thanks!

[Dutch85]

I don't know if this is due to the last update or not, so I'm posting here. In the facility manager, when i want to use the funnel to switch from one type of facility to another, it doesn't change unless I "X" off and bring it back up. I also noticed today when I was filling them for workers, it didn't show that I had started anything until I clicked the X and then brought it back up. Just letting you know. I also did all the cache clearing, etc. but it didn't help. Thank you .

[Docperk]

I have link I created a while back for the Memcache tool, and it only goes to Farm 16, is a new one created for each farm that is released and I just have a link to an old one or is that normal. If an old what is the link to the new one?

thanks

i tried to look in game guide section and couldnt find answer so thought id ask here...anyone know if you have to have the advanced or supreme locomotive before you can have the ultimate one? Usually on the tools it tells you that but it doesnt on the locomotive so didnt know but dont want to waste cash and assume ;)

No you don't need certain ones to buy others, the trains are different and not upgrades like other tools.

[butterflysbaby]

Since the latest update when I hire people from the market place for example, all fields (19) doing various jobs .. there are only 12 fields lite up. Just a few hours ago I hired someone from the market place for 11 fields (hp only) and they said only 5 fields were highlighted. This is started happening now that I think about it since the feature where after you work them they dim out. If I chat with them and let them know of all the fields I've hired them to work, they can navigate to them and successfully work there. I'm not sure if this issue has been addressed or not, I did search for it and read many pages of the forum before posting, so sorry if this is a duplicate reporting.

Thanks for your help,
Marie

Post Release Updates - July 17th, 4:20PM EST

- Some users were having issues placing some of the tools on some of the shortcut spots due to a constant yellow blinking square, specially after going to full screen and back to normal screen, and mainly for Google Chrome users. This should now be fixed.

[linda rae]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at July 17th, 4:20PM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. All Topiaries are now in coins. Father's Day items moved to the Other, Fun and Furniture categories.

2. 34 x 34 Farm Expansions for farms 11 - 15: 30 FarmCash OR

Farm 11 Expansion: 6000,000,000
Farm 12 Expansion: 7000,000,000
Farm 13 Expansion: 8000,000,000
Farm 14 Expansion: 9000,000,000
Farm 15 Expansion: 9000,000,000

3. Search in Facility Manager: There is a new Search icon in the Facility Manager to make it easier to locate facilities if you have a lot of them, notice that in this case the search is not a filter, it doesn't hide anything, it just position the facility you are searching for in the viewing area.

You can use the UP and Down keys to jump to the next facility matching the search pattern.

4. Tools Shortcut Improvements: The panning tool (the one with the 4 arrows), the plow and the harvest tool can now be replaced by any tool in the extended tool box. For example, you can now have the higher harvest tool, the plow combine and the sow combine in the main panel as well.

Notice that the panning tool and the original plow and harvest tool are shown in the first row of the Shortcut Manager window in case you want them back.

5. Turbo Tools for Regular Facilities: The new Turbo tools 'Turbo Belt Dryer' and 'Turbo Loader' allows you to Start Products in multiple Drying Facilities and Facilities handling heavy loads with one click. To use these tools use the 'Start All' button in the Facility Manager.

Click the Tool help icon in the Store (?) to check what facilities are operated with these new tools.

6. Ingredient Planner: This will help you understand better the ingredient consumption in a facility, for example, if you click the new green help icon (?) inside a facility the planner will show you all the ingredients and quantities that are required to fill up to capacity (15 days of production) that facility.

The first number shown under the ingredient is the amount needed to fill up to capacity the facility. If there is a red number next to it, it means you don't have enough in storage and you will need that other amount to fill up the facility.

If you mouse over the ingredient icon it will show you the name and the amount stored for that ingredient.

When you click the help icon for a facility in the Store or the Facility Manager the default view will appear, but you can access the Ingredient Planner by the link on the top.

In the future we will add more functionality to this screen, so you can select a specific product or certain time frames like 1, 7 or 15 days, or even a time frame that is equivalent to the current capacity available.

7. Better Storage Management: In the previous release we added the capability to sort by "Ingredient Importance" in the Storage and Market windows, however the Importance for a particular ingredient was calculated based on all available facilities in the game, not only those that you owned, so for example, if you do not own any of the restaurants the Flour will still appear high in the list.

There is a new sorting now named "Ingredient Importance (for me)" that will take into account the facilities that you currently own, so in this case, if you do not own any of the restaurants, the Flour will appear lower in the list and you will see in the top of the list only the ingredients that are more important to the facilities that you already own.

8. Farm Selector Improvements: There is a new button in the top row of the Farm Selector named 'Show Names' which will show you a bigger screen with all the farm names to make the farm switching experience easier and faster.

9. Offline Messages System Improvements: The Message List window is now bigger and it shows the Facebook first name along with the avatar name, and also a preview of the message. If you want to know the date of the message it is now shown in the detailed message window along with the full message body.

10. Other Improvements and bug fixes:

- When you sort by 'Utilization' or 'Done' in the facility Manager we now apply an additional sub-sorting by 'Alphabetical' and 'Farm Number' so all the same facilities appear grouped together
- When switching farms in full screen mode the target farm now remains in the same position on the screen, not shifted to the bottom right
- Before this release when visiting others you would never see more than 300 animals in a farm, now those first 300 animals are more spread through out the farm, not only the top part of the farm
- When a Batch can't be started in a facility instead of showing +0 inside the button we just remove the button

11. Film Making Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Film Making Supplies.

Fake Moustaches
Western Cart
Director Chair
Viking Armor
Cinema Roll
Clapperboard
Pirate Flag
Mechanical Shark

New Products in other facilities: Gelatin in the Semi-Trailer Truck

12. Interior Design Decor Factory (Coins): Produces Interior Design Decorations.

Plant Decor
Fish Tail Decor
Room Divider
Sofa Cushion
Antique Centerpiece
Candle with Holder
Fire Logs Holder
Exotic Chair

New Products in other facilities: Glass Bowl in the Glass Factory

13. Movie Studio (FC): Provides Film Making Services and can be stocked with all products from the Film Making Supplies Factory.

14. Home Decor Store (Coins): Provides Interior Design Retail Services and can be stocked with all products from the Interior Design Decor Factory.

Enjoy!

--Raul

Post Release Updates - July 12th, 2:30PM EST

- Turbo Loader is now fixed and should be visible on farms.

Post Release Updates - July 13th, 2:00AM EST

- If you have some of the Facility Tools, then the "Ingredient Importance (for me)" sorting now takes into account only the products that are currently enabled in the facility. So for example, if you own lot of facilities that can make products with Flour, but inside those facilities you disable (clear checkbox) those products requiring Flour because you are not interested in making them, then the Flour will be less important.

Post Release Updates - July 17th, 4:20PM EST

- Some users were having issues placing some of the tools on some of the shortcut spots due to a constant yellow blinking square, specially after going to full screen and back to normal screen, and mainly for Google Chrome users. This should now be fixed.

- When hired the panning tool (4 arrows) and the single plow and harvest tool should now be visible again in the main panel if applicable.

Note: If you have already placed another tool on the single harvest tool spot and you are hired to a single Job, then you still can access the single harvest tool from the contracted tool box (above the yellow Dozer tool), this is helpful when you need to switch to that single harvest tool in order to harvest flower or trees that are too difficult with the multi-tool.

Known Issues:

- None

No. Because the factory makes 900 moustaches per fill.

[linda rae]

only one film making factory makes 180 fake moustaches .. where are the others coming if i don't buy more film making facilities ? if movie needs 900 to be 100% happy. :confused:

A full load for the one factory (15 days worth) is a batch every 4 hours so a total of 90 batches. Each batch makes 10 moustaches, so 90 x 10 = 900.

[DitzyLuvBug2]

This is very frustrating. Since the release, filling facilities that don't use the Start All Turbo's is slow to the very extreme. Click and wait, click and wait, then kill pages, then have to refresh, then go back to facility manager and start click and wait one by one extremely slower than normal. Yes I have done the mem cache reset, cleared cache/history, etc. and also tried another browser and same result. Please help. I am a mega farmer with over 1200 facilities and over 400 services. I need your help in getting this fixed desperately. Also getting Black screens often and connect errors often when trying to fill, when planting which is also slow, when hired to do trees for someone. Need help please.

I use the current flash and Firefox and had no problems with the message box not opening until the day of the upgrade and since. It is hit and miss, mostly miss on being able to get messages. I have done the clearing of cache and all the other usual things and nothing helps....

its easy, just have a word doc, and list all the facilities per farm...I have done this with each farm and can see at a glance how many facilities, the number of each tree, flower and fields per farm...so easy to edit if you decide to change things around or add more ...:)

Also getting Black screens often and connect errors often when trying to fill, when planting which is also slow, when hired to do trees for someone. Need help please.

Thanks for your help!

fill all you can using the START ALL button, then change the look to UTILISATION...scroll to the bottom and put your cursor on the START ALL button on the last facility..(I use the one on the right as notifications via fb can interfere if you do the one on the left).click and the next one will take its place, you won't have to move the cursor as the facilities will continue to be replaced with the next one due to be started...:)

Is anyone else having problems with the in game message system since the last upgrade? I use the current flash and Firefox and had no problems with the message box not opening until the day of the upgrade and since. It is hit and miss, mostly miss on being able to get messages. I have done the clearing of cache and all the other usual things and nothing helps....

I am having the same problem since the new release. I use Chrome and often have to reload FT once or twice before I can get the FT messages. I too have everything current and cleared everything possible. When I click to get the message, the text box opens blank with no message and never loads. Sometimes this happens if I have done any work on the farm .. other times when I first go into FT, either way I have to reload at least once but so far not more than twice. I like the updates to the message system and look forward to this being resolved :)

Another day in glitzch land. Nothing changed..still acknowledging exchanges but not accepting them. Sent support notice yesterday so..redy for a 10 day break anyway!

This is very frustrating. Since the release, filling facilities that don't use the Start All Turbo's is slow to the very extreme. Click and wait, click and wait, then kill pages, then have to refresh, then go back to facility manager and start click and wait one by one extremely slower than normal.

Yes I have the same issue. Also today facility manager will not load.

Exactly WHERE is this sort function located?: "Post Release Updates - July 13th, 2:00AM EST

- If you have some of the Facility Tools, then the "Ingredient Importance (for me)" sorting now takes into account only the products that are currently enabled in the facility. So for example, if you own lot of facilities that can make products with Flour, but inside those facilities you disable (clear checkbox) those products requiring Flour because you are not interested in making them, then the Flour will be less important."

I've looked through everything and the "ingredient importance for me" is no where to be found.

Hi! go to your storage and click in A/Z. :)

Thanks for the information. It looks like this sort function is only in the Inventory Area, not in the Factory area. I've been looking for this in the Facilities Manager when I plant crops. I rarely use the inventory except to go to market or store something.

[dandolph]

When are you going to fix the problem with the 3 Airport facilities? They have to be done individually and each item loaded or started indiviually.

[Sandy Mae]

Thanks for the goodies in this release!!!

[1fritz]

its easy, just have a word doc, and list all the facilities per farm...I have done this with each farm and can see at a glance how many facilities, the number of each tree, flower and fields per farm...so easy to edit if you decide to change things around or add more ...:)

Really thank you. I'll try that.

[i try]

I apologize if you think that. We are only trying to help and that procedure has help in that situation and many times.
The only other thing then is for you to contact Support and get them to try to clear it. To contact them click on the link below and fill out the form with your problem.
http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/settings/support/
Be patient as it can take any where from a few hours to a few weeks for them to respond to you.
They asked me how many coins was i shorted-HA HA! Sent another mail...wait wait Still 'will not accept' waiting.

Have you cleared all your caches and cleaned your computer lately? This sounds like a problem that might fix. I have all 3 airport facs and that is not happening to me, they fill from the fac manager with one click just fine. I was having a problem with fac manager changing screens SO slowly last night, then remebered that I hadn't cleared memcache or browser caches this week. Cleared them and fac manager was back to it's normal fast self. Please try this and maybe do it more than once, sometimes that's all it takes. :)

Since the latest update when I hire people from the market place for example, all fields (19) doing various jobs .. there are only 12 fields lite up. Just a few hours ago I hired someone from the market place for 11 fields (hp only) and they said only 5 fields were highlighted. This is started happening now that I think about it since the feature where after you work them they dim out. If I chat with them and let them know of all the fields I've hired them to work, they can navigate to them and successfully work there. I'm not sure if this issue has been addressed or not, I did search for it and read many pages of the forum before posting, so sorry if this is a duplicate reporting.

Thanks for your help,
Marie

I have the same problem- posted it here before and got no response. Very frustrating.

[jm3810@msn.com]

Over the weeks since the update before this last one (7/11/13) I seem to be having problems hiring others for working at my farms. If I hire for all 19 they might get 12 farms or they don't get the tools required for the jobs. I have had that same issue when I am being hired as well. I have cleared my memcache as well as the cache on Chrome. Is anybody else having this issue or have any suggestions for me?

same problem- no one has been able to answer me as to why

Originally you said, "Since the latest update when I hire people from the market place for example, all fields (19) doing various jobs .. there are only 12 fields lite up.

I have had this problem as well, and several times, all since the July 11th update.

[Farmer Rabbit]

When I am hired to work other farms, my chainsaw works at first. Then, in a forest or just thick patch of trees, the chainsaw fails to work entirely. I have to then finish the job with the ax. It took HOURS to finish the one individual's farms I was hired to work solo last night. Trying to live up to what I had agreed to do. Eventually I had to write a nice note and leave the final farms undone.

The note in FT messaging system, by the way, exposed my FACEBOOK REAL FIRST NAME to yet another stranger in Farm Town since July 11th changes in FT. Please address this as a security issue soon. tyvm.

how long do we have to wait for the harvest all button?....has said coming soon for 2 months at least...:(

Am just wondering why do you think its a security risk? Its only your first name that is given.... not as if it was giving the whole of your name.

[Aussie Rae]

I think we may find that the Harvest All button in the Facility Manager refers to the Animal Barns....not the crops etc on our farms...:)

[peekachoo]

Sorry to say, but the game has been extremely slow loading for me for the past few days, I have a feeling it was like it just before the maintenance clean up, and yes, I have cleared memcache etc.

[LoreneC]

For those who think showing the first name in the message system is a security risk: We have never been anonymous in FarmTown.

If you ignore someone and go to your ignore list their entire name shows up.

Hi

this happens when you put trees on top of another, in different windows, is something they are doing and it's slow work of trees, flowers, no problem tool

[bayoubes]

Me thinks it's time to close this, they are already doing little background work, me thinks they will do their up date Friday.

[1fritz]

Me thinks it's time to close this, they are already doing little background work, me thinks they will do their up date Friday.

I hope that is true. But based of past experience...The last update was July 11th. They have been coming about 30 days a part.. I guessing two more weeks. :D

[1fritz]

And Stoneface hasn't finished his story yet. :rolleyes:

[bayoubes]

True, but past a year ago, we were getting updates every two weeks, then it when to 3wks. They started doing one a month when they started doing all the big updates. Not much big updates to work on that is complicated, so me thinks it will be Friday, hope so.

I've been keeping track since 2011. We have been getting new facilities at least once a month. And a new farm every 3rd month. So by my calculations we have at least a good 2 weeks till the next release and about a good month and a half till a new farm. I'm with 1fritz on this. :)

[Valdoe]

I think we may find that the Harvest All button in the Facility Manager refers to the Animal Barns....not the crops etc on our farms...:)

I agree.. I do not think too it is for crops because this would make your harvest/plow/seed tool would then become obsolete.

I wouldn't buy the tool if it was for crops unless you can tell it what crops you want to seed on what fields.

I would mind a harvest ALL tree and/or flowers and/or fish

Hint hint...

[kataltay]

I will stick with hiring my neighbours to harvest my stuff. If it's for animal sheds, I still will not invest farm cash in a tool for that. We can only have a maximum of 19 of each animal shed, and when the day comes that I don't have the time to click those one at a time ( I do NOT have one of each on each farm, nor does anyone really need that many), then that's the day I need to quit playing. People are becoming less interested in doing anything themselves now. Fewer people want to hop from farm to farm working facilities and services. More people are using autoclickers, in spite of the "rules", all to get their planting etc done super quickly. We're already being spoiled with the turbo loaders and starters, and the store all/load all. Why don't we just get robots to play the game for us? Wonder how much that tool would cost??

[dorissau]

I love it when players start predicting when things will happen!! I don't think the devs actually know.. they just say "eureka! I did it" and then they let us know. They are really that funky, hairy group of nerds that used to work on the X-files show for Mulder... I believe it !!! HAHAH

[kataltay]

If you look at the pattern of the updates, dorisseau, it's not really "predicting". :) Just based on the frequency of updates, that's all. Usually we get something at the beginning of the month, and then something towards the middle. All one needs to do is read through the Update threads to see that. I am with bayoubes. I believe Friday will bring us "something". And, yes, the developers do know what they're doing behind scenes, working fervently to put out new releases for its loyal players. :D

[GarrettHillBabe]

Frankly I'm now afraid to invest another penny in FT due to what happened to those players who played thru Myspace.
I already have way too much invested here, well over $1000.00 so have decided it may now be the time for me to put the brakes on spending more....especially since lately the game is just not playing as well as it did, not all my tools are working as they should, and the amount of time it takes just to load each farm is rising instead of falling. Not one of my farms are layered so in reality it should be a breeze to load, right? Not so and is NOT the fault of my computer BTW, ALL cache is cleared, ALL flash is taken care of AND it really does NOT matter what browser I use ALL act the same with only FT.

Am worried, is this perhaps what those on Myspace were experiencing prior to losing the game entirely?

I for sure will be one VERY sad old woman if my only game goes away.

The reason of Myspace removing all of their games has nothing to do with Slashkey or FT, that was a decision of MySpace not to have games on their site. All games on the internet that you choose to use money on you take the risk of that game closing up and losing all virtual goods that you had purchased and if you look in the Terms of Service, it states in their that they are under no obligation to refund any money that has been spent, this is a standard part of any TOS.

I have to agree on most points you made. The game is slow and it has been slow for sometime now. With 19 time farms I have gotten to point to where I no longer care to attempt to plant them and keep them planted every day. Maybe once a week I will have them all planted. Just to slow. I work just enough to do my quest and that's about it. I have enough crops stocked up to keep my facilities filled and work my neighbors facilities and that takes enough time to keep me busy as I want to be.

[Tony D]

Hi Everyone , thanks for the feedback on the New Release :)

As this thread appears to be going way off topic I will close it now.

Time to wait 'patiently' for the next release :D
