New Release -- September 9th, 2013

[Texas Belle]

Well I thought the farm stats button was going to let me see what I had, what was ready to harvest, plow or seed on all farms, not only on the one I was standing on.. we need one that tells us from one farm what is ready on another, not on the one I am looking at.. bummer. Oh well maybe next button will be that.. I do like that I can see how many trees I have and what it will produce, thanks for that...

They said if possible there will be a tool you can purchase that will let you know about multiple farms.

[kataltay]

no it says 2-3 weeks but keep in mind thats not OUR normal 2-3 weeks=14 to 21 days. Farm town has a different time table. Not sure how to calculate yet but i know dont expect the new items for closer to 3 to 4 weeks which is basically another update so not sure why they even tell us its with THIS update but in 2 to 3 weeks?? Who knows...lol

You are right Susie! But when I went onto my farm today, a pop-up stated it would be "1-2 weeks", so I am confused...lol.... Farmtown time means "We will get it when we get it"....I have to accept that! :cool:

[KnightRider]

In my opinion everyone should be glad they bring out new levels when they do, there is games that people have been at the top level for years and they don't bring out new levels, one game instead of bringing out new levels completely changed the whole game and changed the levels and made it harder to get anything from that game, so I think that they bring out new levels probably more than most, if not more than all game on FB. They have been bringing out new levels the same amount of time since like some time in 2010, so the people that was in a hurry to get 2x or more the xp amount knew they would have to wait and how many levels would be coming out when they come out, so it isn't a surprise and something new that they just started, and they could be having a little problem with the new levels this time, the program is getting so big it is probably getting harder to code. I think the dev's have done a wonderful job with this game.

Please read and listen to our suggestions, Thank You & Happy Farming™

I agree with you. People also should keep in mind that it was about the first 10 months of the game even being online that we were stuck with only 1 farm and only 40 levels! So some people started to get bored with redesigning the one farm they had over and over again and never seeing the level go up. So they started asking non-farming friends for permission to use their Facebook accounts so they could develop a second, third, or 6th farm! :D Many of the farmers who complain when the new levels are promised and think the developers are sure taking their time about it did not start farming in 2009 and have no idea how great they've got things now.

[Simera]

Been away for some weeks, because my oldest son died in 5 weeks from Pancreas-cancer. Now I am confused about a lot of things. I think I have bought all "things" to be able to Start all facilities - but NO! I still have to click on everything within the Facility manager to be sure I've started all!! If I need to click on any of them, I'd like to see a different colour on thos I still have to click on to really Start all!
And what in Heavens name is this Stats, that everybody's talking about?? After playing this game since April 2009, and paied a lot of money to this game, I think that the devs should take into consideration that the game could be boring to us "old players" if something NEW isn't coming up for us "old folks" :) Those with layered (forbidden word) have to be sitting by the computer all day, while us with "straight" farms, and paying for everything. . . are sitting with nothing else than clicking, clicking and clicking even how many Tools we pay for! Getting bored, as it takes too much time now, with 20 farms, and not really NO helpful Tools! I don't care to "grab" any level, I just want this game to be more time-saving. Thank you!

Simera

Simera, sorry to hear about your son. Our condolences to you and your family for your loss.
For the Start All there are still 2 more tools that they have not released the Turbo tools for. Those probably will be out in the next release. Many kept asking last release for the Harvest All tools to release so that is what they did this time.
Many have asked for some way to be able to tell what is ready on each farm. That is what the Stat tool does and they are looking at making it so you can see all the farms without having to go to them.

You mentioned that they should come out with something new, they add and bring out what others put in the suggestions section, if you have something new to add to the game that would make the game better, then you should make a post in the suggestions section so that the dev's can see it and maybe add it to the game, you can't make a new thread, but you can put your suggestion in the closest thread and if you can't find one close, then you can put your suggestion in the thread called my idea doesn't have a thread. I think they have done a wonderful job and as far as time saving, the more facilities you purchase the more work it will be, a person doesn't have to have all 20 farms, that is their choice to purchase them.

[Docperk]

Hey what happened to the date and time a message was sent. I was just looking tonight and noticed their not there anymore.

[beverduster]

It shows on mine

They show on mine except for one friend who lives in South America. Not sure why I don't get it for hers.

[Aussie Rae]

by my reckoning we still have the following facilities that need a turbo tool to start all...I have used the "CUSTOMISE" filter so that these are all at the bottom of the list of all my facilities and are very easy to do...I have all in alphabetical order...Airline Supplies,Animal Access., Animal Sports, Art Studio, Baby Supplies, Beach Gear, Circus Supplies,Cookware,Explorer Access., Farming Tools, Fishing Access., Fitness Equipment., Flower Shop, Furniture Fac., Gardening Tools., Handyman Tools, Home Supplies., Jewelry, Knitting and Knotting., Musical Instruments, Medical Supplies, Office-School Supplies, Plant Nursery, Police-Fireman Supplies,Power Utility Supplies, Rural Craft, Sawmill, Semi- Trailer Truck, Sewing Mill,Shoe Factory,Sports Accessories,Theatre Supplies,Toy Factory, Zoo Supplies.....you can also use the filter :"UTILIZATION" and get the same result if you don't want to go to the trouble of sorting all into alphabetic order but it only takes a few minutes to do....:)

I don't know if you do this or not it isn't mentioned, but to see the date and time are you going into the message to see these items, it was changed.

[Texas Belle]

They said if possible there will be a tool you can purchase that will let you know about multiple farms.

Great, will be anxiously and patiently waiting for the tool, lol
Thanks for the RSVP.

I should have mention it said premium, but I thought it said tool, I just looked and it said premium tools, so it looks like it might be more than I FC tool to look at the other farms.

Truly sorry about your son and condolences to your family.
I've often thought about what I'd do if I had to be away from my farm for weeks at a time and what I would do to get "caught up". Go to the Forum under "News and Announcements" and read about the updates you missed. You can follow along at any time with any of the previous updates and how to use any tool they've made available for purchase. Hope that helps

I can't seem to get into facebook, all i get is Service Unavailable ? anyone else with this issue ?

[KnightRider]

I can't seem to get into facebook, all i get is Service Unavailable ? anyone else with this issue ?

I was getting that a couple of days ago, have you tried to use a different browser? When it happened to me I could only get Facebook on Comodo Dragon, I couldn't get it on Chrome, IE, Safari, or Firefox. I did everything, except I forgot to reset my router, but everything seems to have fixed it self now. It might be the server you are on, when I tried my other browsers it kept saying server not found or facebook.com not found.

[JW2009]

it's working now, thank you :) I was getting that a couple of days ago, have you tried to use a different browser?

[anglnwhite]

:rolleyes: 18 days and counting ... counting ... counting ...
Looking for something to do over my long weekend other than prep for winter.
Some new levels and FT toys would go very nicely with freshly canned peach jam and pepper jelly. :rolleyes:

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[JbarLFarms]

I can't seem to get into facebook, all i get is Service Unavailable ? anyone else with this issue ?

I got that message today on Firefox. I tried IE and it was working so I went back to Firefox and found that I needed to update. As soon as I updated, FB opened just fine again. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not....

[beverduster]

sounds like we might be getting the new goodys

[Docperk]

They show on mine except for one friend who lives in South America. Not sure why I don't get it for hers.

hmm, yeah I checked again and it shows on some and not on others, not sure where they are from though.
Does it only show date and time on neighbors and not from those that just work on your farm?

[Taz D]

No that isn't what determines it. It may be a geographic thing.

[JW2009]

Thank you, it's seems ok now :)I got that message today on Firefox. I tried IE and it was working so I went back to Firefox and found that I needed to update. As soon as I updated, FB opened just fine again. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not....

Just a reminder, if you are having issues other than those to do with the new release, please post in Help & Support. Thankyou :)

[beverduster]

There's always a chance... we will just have to wait and see what the devs do... nobody knows but them :)

3. Ingredient Planner Improvement: You can now sort by Qty Missing (red number), Qty Required (brown number), the Category of the ingredient (crops, from trees, animals, from facilities, etc) or Name.

This in part of the new release and I am confused about how it works. Is there more information on it any where.

[Miz judy]

even with leveling things cost too much to buy anyway-so I stopped fretting about it. I wished we had a way just to know for sure who is playing the game for sure..I hate this guessing when it comes to sending out gifts.

If you sort by Qty Missing then any thing you are short of for loading your facilities first in the list with a red number. If you sort by Qty required then it will sort by the largest amount needed. By category lists crops needed first then animals, etc. with each category grouped together. By name would be in alphabetical order. All of these just give you different ways to look at the ingredients required to fill your facilities.

In your neighbors list you can see the date that a neighbor last played and you can sort them based on that daate so your mnost recent players are at teh top. I make Facebook friend lists to help send gifts and I tweak them based on the latest date a neighbor played. If you need more info on this, please let me know! :)

[TerriFlynn]

Where are the 25 new levels? My math says they are DUE by tomorrow!

[kataltay]

Then perhaps tomorrow is when they will arrive?? :rolleyes:

"coming in the next 2 to 3 weeks" in farmtown speak means "patience, grasshopper, they shall be here, when they get here"

Well.......it's TOMORROW........:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[peekachoo]

It's still today here ;)

However tomorrow is Tuesday so perhaps we'll have something waiting for us then.

[thunders storm]

it is October 1 now here.. if the new level will come out by October 9.. i am out of the country by then.. and be back by Nov 6... means i will missed everything that will come out... ohh how i wish it will be before Oct 4 my due date..

[kataltay]

Well it is September 30 here, and the new levels and 60 coin items were supposed to be a part of the September 9 update, not the October one. I am hoping they will come out before October 1, in Slashkey's Northern Hemisphere, but it does seem time is running out!

[StoneFace]

hhmm

it has always been just today here. ;)

Other than in the social room, such "patience" re updates...guess the 3 little pigs story wouldn't be permitted on this thread.

Codebell / Slashkey is in Florida. So by its reckoning, there are still just under 5 hours left to the last day of September (and about the same amount of time until a Federal Government shutdown, by coincidence!) :D

[earlgray]

"coming in the next 2 to 3 weeks" in farmtown speak means "patience, grasshopper, they shall be here, when they get here"

Hmph. In my job, "coming in the next 2 to 3 weeks" means exactly that. And it's been 3 weeks. Unless they come out in the next two hours.

[kondor]

Personally, I hope they are focusing on fixing some other game performance issues instead of worrying about doling out free levels. What is it Spock (or Kirk) said? The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? :)

[1fritz]

This might just be wishful thinking and I have sometimer's disease (sometimes I remember sometimes I don't). But I was looking through the motion and farm decor sections of the store and noticed several items I don't remember. Can this be the begging of the promised 60 items all coin. and levels 25 if I remember correctly.

Or am I confused, grasping at straws, and need more coffee. :confused:

I was looking through the motion and saw a few items in there I don't remember like the Top Dresser Plane, I don't remember seeing that or it could be like you and have the sometimer's disease.

I am among the few, I suppose, who only experiences a FT performance glitch once in a blue moon. I have never known FT to dole out free levels. Levels are gained by accumulating experience. Player earns one FT cash each time they level up.

Players who reach top level have to wait (and wait, and wait) until developers are able to do the coding work needed to add more levels. I am among the many who appreciate the accumulated farm cash once new levels are added.

I am not among the few that seem to have endless supply of real cash to buy farm cash, so I anxiously await the new levels, to see how much more cash I will need to buy in order to buy the items I need (or want) that are only available for Farm cash.

In addition, I notice developers work to resolve equipment glitches in a timely manner.

[levarti2]

I know Slashkey has always had trouble telling time, but if they can't follow through when they say "2-3 weeks", or "tomorrow" ... they simply shouldn't mention it at all. It just causes a lot of frustration with the loyal players (even though we've come to expect it).

[beverduster]

I saw a new ship, maybe the next release we will be able to get imported goods

[JW2009]

Hi, all those items in all sections have been added in June release, the only sections with new stuff are the tools, facilities, and new people were added in August release :) Thank You & Happy Farming™I was looking through the motion and saw a few items in there I don't remember like the Top Dresser Plane, I don't remember seeing that or it could be like you and have the sometimer's disease.

[cckid]

[knolan]

Are there new items added today (10/1/13)? Are they listed somewhere with the dates of their release?

[JW2009]

[Taz D]

Items in the store that are not facilities or tools are not listed anywhere. However you can usually go to the bottom of each section and see all the new items.

Adding to what Taz has said, Raul has stated


All new items are in the Buildings, Motion, Farm Decor and Other categories.

[rebecca slaughter]

[bayoubes]

Hey, They put in the Halloween stuff, even have people with costumes, now I can have trick or treaters. Yeah, going to go do my Halloween farm.

[Santmyer]

Even though none of the halloween gift and store items are new releases, it is nice to have them available to decorate with. Here is hoping they will be around all year long. ;)

Thanks!!!Great update !!

[Tom C]

Not sure if this is related to the last update. My crops were fertilized and ready and I was harvesting them when my farm became unfertilized. In the past the crops stayed fertilized but this time they did not. Now my trees that were ready to chop are also unfertilized. My harvest trees that are 4 day tress stayed fertilized the 1,2 3 days trees became unfertilized.

[Docperk]

Don't know if this is related to or not, but I hired a neighbor to h/p and shake my trees, I watched them do it all but when I reloaded the farm the trees were ready again.

[Farmgirl_Su]

yeah new levels here!!
