See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on March 23rd, 11:00PM EST.

Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes: En Espaņol AQUI (http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=611442)

1. 7 new St Patrick items and 14 Easter items released 2 weeks ago

2. 25 New Levels: 30 new items, all in coins. Max level is now 625.

2. Item Footprint Changes: The Clove Tree and the Oak Tree now occupies only 1 tile instead of 4. The Hamburger Restaurant is now smaller. The Sugar Refinery has a smaller footprint.

4. Last 4 expansions for Farm 25: See prices below:

34x34 - 11500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
36x36 - 12000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
38x38 - 12500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
40x40 - 20000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash

5. Improvements on the game support: Tickets coming into the support department are now answered faster and more efficiently.

Also, there is new FarmCash Activity Log section in the Account tab that will show every single transaction that involves farm cash or farm cash items, this way it will be very easy for anyone to answer the question 'Where did my Farm Cash go?'. It will show your farm cash purchases with real money (with links to facebook receipts), trialpay offers completed, farm cash earn via quests, levels or gift certificates you have received.

It will also show all the farm cash items that you have purchased, sent as gift, deleted or sold. And finally there is a link on the top right that will link to a facebook page that will show all your purchases inside any facebook application, not just Farmtown.

Note: The farmcash activity log will show data from the last 6 month. We started the tracking since the beginning of March so you will see no data before March.

6. Show Crops Preference: You can now hide the crops in your farm.

7. Open a facility from inside the Cooperative Quest Manager: On the last step of a Cooperative Quest there is now an 'Open' button to open the facility to complete the step.

Note: When you open a facility from the quest manager the Start All/Load All button on the top is now hidden, you have to start the required product manually. It was not working most of the time and causing other issues, so we removed it to focus on more requested features.

8. Transplanter 12x12 and Multi Planter 16x16: Transplant 144 plants at once. Plant 256 plants at once.

9. Transplanters Improvements: Transplanters have now 3 modes of operation:

a) All trees AND all flowers: This was the only mode available before. When you mouse over a tree or a flower, all trees and flowers in the covered area will be selected.

b) All trees OR all flowers: When you mouse over a tree only trees in the covered area will be selected. When you mouse over a flower only flowers in the covered area will be selected.

c) Specific trees OR flowers: When you mouse over a specific tree or flower, for example, a pine tree, only pine trees in the covered area will be selected.

10. Buy One/Multiple menu options: All items in coins now have the Buy One/Multiple option.

11. Hiring Improvements: Before today, when you send a hire request to user X, and you start preparing a new hire request to user Y right away, if user X accepted your hire request you will miss the feedback text because you were in the middle of hiring user Y. Now we change it so when you are hiring user Y (ex: the select farms screen is open), you will not receive any *new* hire requests from other players but you will see feedback from hire requests you have sent previously so you always know someone accepted your offer.

Also, when an employee accept your hire request and go to your farm you will see additional messages like, employee XYZ arrived on your farm, farm loaded, and began working.

12. Facebook Upgrade: We have spent 25% of time on this release working on new requirements that are now mandatory by Facebook, this effort will conclude in about a week. It will mostly be transparent to the end users but some specific areas will change.

13. Other Improvements:

Bug Fix: When trains or wagons are incorrectly locked, meaning the train or wagons are unloaded but you can't move them, once you click on the locomotive and open the train, it ill auto correct itself.
Bug Fix: Item Storage showing 'Item Storage Empty' message even when there were items stored
Bug Fix: Start All in facility manager incorrectly stopped processing half way when user had not enough coins
Bug Fix: Filtering by 'Not Owned' in the store was showing animal buildings even when you owned them.
Bug Fix: When you uncheck a product from any and all service facilities so they won't load them, it will still be listed in the Ingredient Planner.
Bug Fix: Mouse over some trees in the Facility help was incorrectly showing 'Stored' amount in the tool tip

14. Trading Post Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Trading Post Supplies.

Peace Pipe
Squash Blossom Necklace
Moccasins
Indian Chief Statue
Indian Woman Dress
Indian Headdress
Tomahawk
Dream Catcher

15. Courthouse Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Courthouse Supplies.

Desk Gavel
Justice Statue
Court Sign
Courtroom Gate
Court Stamps
Constitution Replica
Flip Chart
Judge Robe

15. Indian Trading Post (FC): Provides Indian Trading Services and can be stocked with products from the Trading Post Supplies Factory.

16. Courthouse (coins): Provides Court Services and can be stocked with products from the Courthouse Supplies Factory.

Enjoy!

I knew there was a new release when I went to work facilities and noticed new check boxes in preferences. We can now hide crops and tools. I'm happy. I've wanted to hide these for a while. I have a few friends where I hate to work their facilities because it takes so long long to load even when I have trees, flowers and facilities hidden, because they have layered crops.

Thank you for the New Release but I do not see anything new in the store, no new facilities, no new tools, no new items of any sort... So far all I see is a change in the Tool Box layout, in the preferences we have a new option to check off Crops, and Farm 25 expansions... that's it... is the rest going to be released with the details of the Release???... :confused:

There are 2 new tools. The 16x16 multi-planter and the 12x12 transplanter.

Hi Shellgirlmtl,
There are 2 new tools. The 16x16 multi-planter and the 12x12 transplanter.

Thanks Taz, but I haven't bought those tools yet, waiting to organize my farms before I do that that's why I didn't notice them, but are we not getting any new facilities???... I'm always anxious for those...

Found something else, clove trees now take only one spot instead of 4.

Edit, oak trees are also one spot.

Thanks for the update. Another improvement with the quest manager, you can now open/load a facility from the Cooperative quest like the "normal" quest. I really like that improvement. :)

Hi Raul,
you asked for problems, I just started my final stage of a coop quest. Yay, ya'll are listening and I have my list at hand can start checking some requests off!!! OMG ty for the hide crops, again ya'll are listening and we will all be so much happier.

Prob: When storing product via StartAll it is slow & when filling fac it is slow. Clients went quickly as usual.

Prob: When I started my Coop (thank you for the Open feature on Coops!..another of my tons of requests) the Transportation fac opened for me to produce X product. I do not have the StartAll button up top as in the normal Quest section. When I work a normal Quest, the StartAll feature is available. It is a small thing, either way thank you so very much and here is my list again if ya'll can add any more.

Hi John,
There are a lot more players on tonight than normal because of the release. That would be why it is slower now.

Hi Cathy,
All the preceding suggestions should be put in the Suggestion section in the threads about each one rather than filling up the Release thread with them. This is not the place for suggestions. If these have been suggested before the developers already have them in a listing for consideration and we thank you for your suggestions.

cassi2m
Mar 14 2015, 12:09 AM
Thank you so very much they have been and I send them once in a blue moon just in case one might be of use or new consideration as the software continues to change.
Can you put in a word for the low qual button? lol Ty again!! I send them directly to support as other when suggesting.
Thank you again Taz D.

Mar 14 2015, 12:18 AM
I know I've said this before and I think I am correct since things improve after a while: time for the devs to upgrade servers with more & or faster.

We get blamed (cache/memory/flash upgrade, etc) and these do nothing then swish days later all is fine. I truly believe the servers are to blame often!

Look at massive role play shooters where action has to happen instantaneously. FT is OFTEN slow, slow slow. I can seed an entire farm at times and the avatar is done but the field can take many seconds to become seeded. This would not be acceptable in a shooter game. It is a SERVER capacity issue IMHO. I have seen it take 30 seconds to load a farm I am waiting to harvest with no layers - not good!!!!

This issue has nothing to do with this update as it is chronic.

Ahhhh!!!... thank you Raul for the details... this looks to be another great release... love that we can hide crops and Oak & Clove trees taking up 1 space instead 4... Fantastic!!!...

Love this game... Looks like it'll be another long night for me, I'll be up till the sun rises!!!... :D

Why still no bulldozers for 10 and 12 . We still only have the 8 x 8 bulldozer and even better would be a harvest and delete tool.

Cathy
Hi Cathy,
Unfortunately that quality level is a function of Flash and as such it is not possible for them to do that. The only way to access it is through the right click menu in Flash.
Sending suggestions through Support is not a good idea either as that just adds to Supports tickets and slows down the response to the ones who need a problem fixed that we can't handle in the forums.
The best place for suggestions are in the Suggestion section of the forum where the developers look for them. You cannot start a new thread there but can reply to an existing thread that fits the suggestion you are making. From those suggestions the developers compile a list and determine what can be done and from those which to add for the next release.
Thanks again for all your suggestions and I look forward to seeing them in the Suggestion section.

Firstly, thanks very much for the new release, always fun to go find the new toys and start using them. One question though, I see that we should now have the option to buy one/multiple for coin items. I am not seeing this option just now, am I missing something or is that due in a later release please?

PS: Actually think I answered my own question. I was looking for buy multiple in the store. I think what it means is that once we buy one and put it on the farm that all items will now have the buy one/multiple option once we click on it on the farm, whereas before there were some items they did not have the multiple option.

I have wanted the hiding crops for ages.THANK YOU SO MUCH RAUL AND DEV'S.

I too,have several neighbors whose farms are difficult to load when doing their facilities.I actually will crash a few times before they do load.I will think of you every time I do a facility stress free.:D

13. Other Improvements
Bug Fix: Item Storage showing 'Item Storage Empty' message even when there were items stored

I have 1750 spaces in my Item Storage, yesterday I had 1488 used, now it tells me I only have used 662... It looks like my items are there but I really wouldn't know if a particular item is missing... example I thought I had 2 Waterfalls stored but it looks like I don't... It just seems weird because when I go through the list, it looks more than 662 items stored, my paths section alone has more than 100 items... Could this have anything to do with the fix???

Katusha
Mar 14 2015, 02:54 AM
Like for so many of the other players, hiding crops is a Heaven's Sent. Once again, I can do the facilities on all of my neighbors, not just some of them. Thanks so much to the devs for adding this feature.

Thanks once again for the update, I really like the fact that you've reduced the size of the space of the oak and clove trees, I think I've just doubled the size of my forest just by planting some more :)

Am really looking forward to the new facs and hoping that the courthouse & supplies will be coin not FC
Have a stupid question with regards to the resized footprints - does it apply to our existing trees and facilities or only to new ones we buy?

Why does it take forever to do the fishing???????????

rjohn726
Mar 14 2015, 05:55 AM
Well the play of the game is a little more precise as well as accurate. I tho will get used to that over time also. The Store-all button was also quite slow.

But over-all slower.

Lpeak
Mar 14 2015, 06:19 AM
Thanks for the update, but since the update I am having terrible problems with fishing, harvesting trees and flowers. So slow, have to wait all the time for it to catch up which has never happened before. No problems doing crops, just trees, flowers and fishing. Have cleared everything, memcache etc and still the same, really slowing things down.

rjohn726
Mar 14 2015, 06:25 AM
Everything that I am harvesting is going so slow I might not want to play this game anymore, and I've been playing this for 5 years

Mar 14 2015, 06:34 AM
One of the best things about this update ....... that we get some things now to work with..... and MORE next week. For now, all my farms are at the max 40x40, and I can actually work, and wait and be patient for farm #26 hahahaha.

I really enjoy/prefer this "two-part" release. And knowing what is coming (like the facilities next week.... and levels) is what will also keep the players more active and more interested.

Thanks Raul....I can only imagine what this game will offer as we head into year 7 and beyond for Farm Town.

Hi LazyMare, it applies to your existing tree's also. The tree's on your farm, will now only occupy the space of one footprint. I hope this helps :)

Mar 14 2015, 06:57 AM
I always look forward to updates but this time I lost a CoOp Quest. I had 13 and last night it told me to check in today to collect FC...early this morning I checked and had only 12 credited and lost 1 FC. Disappointing when we work diligently to get the most we can. Thanks for the update anyway.

rjohn726
Mar 14 2015, 07:03 AM
After what I've seen in a very slow speed in harvesting the Fish and Crops, I thought it would take a while to Harvest the Trees, and it does as one set will NOT highlight a set of trees in yellow until the other is somewhat gone. In other words slower than before. Flowers I assume will also be somewhat the same. All the harvesting of Fish, Crops, Trees and Flowers will be slow, slow, slow and even slower.

I do assume, and I do know this is because of the interface with Facebook also, so be it.

I only need something to do as I am retired and need something to do. That something need not be Farm Town. I tho will give you-all some more time tho. I have liked Farm Town in the past quite well. It for me may be worth the time, and then maybe not.

Mar 14 2015, 07:03 AM
What is wrong the game is so slow, but worse than that I cant fill my facilities, well I can but Ive got to wait 30 seconds between each facility. The game is not playable for me. I expect issues and slowness after each update (thats the norm) but never like this please devs sort it. Thank You

rjohn726
Mar 14 2015, 07:09 AM
It sure would be better in my opinion, as of what I see today, if you could do this with-out facebook. However from what I see, you-all wont even think of doing that at all. Maybe, I'll just slow down and NOT do so much and all will be somewhere I don't want to be at all. I do play Freeecell ya know

hours later and this is still an issue. Takes forever to load facilities. Ten minutes and still going when it used to take about one minute

thanks for the release, only problem is there is no start all button when u open facs within the quests

when you are doing the quests, you do not want to 'start all', you only want to start one batch.

Mar 14 2015, 08:20 AM
Everyone's concerned about the slowness of loading the facilities, myself included. The weekend following an update is always a slow time, and don't forget the Devs are also having to deal with mandatory requirements that Facebook are now asking for.

Let's have a little patience folks, it'll improve given time.

Edit: I've just gone back to loading my Facs. and very much better than it was an hour ago.

Thank you!! Everybody always forgets that there are glitches right after an update, no need to go all Verruca Salt on the devs. :) I was running a little slow, so I cleaned caches and ate breakfast and it's better, just planted 5 farms with no slowness! :)

Thanks again, devs, VERY interesting update!!

And thanks for making the oaks and clove trees a smaller footprint!!!!

rjohn726
Mar 14 2015, 08:48 AM
The planting is going fine. The harvesting took me at least an hour or two more time to harvest than before.

If the planting is going fine why can't the harvesting also go fine. I don't understand at all

Thanks! I especially like being able to open the facility from inside the Cooperative Quest Manager, and that you can now buy one/multiple for all coins items. I like that the sugar refinery has a smaller footprint, but I really do wish that you had also made the smokestacks (if that’s what they all are) smaller and shorter - maybe you could still do that, please?

please have some patience. If you have been playing as long as you say you have, you have already been thru this many many times, why is it such a surprise that some things are not up to speed yet? Clean your caches and hang in there, everyone is having problems here and there, it will clear up in time, it always does. :)

Mar 14 2015, 09:54 AM
When harvesting another's farm I do just fine tho, no problems with speed at all.

Therefore I guess I need another to harvest my farm.

LazyMare
Mar 14 2015, 09:56 AM
Hi LazyMare, it applies to your existing tree's also. The tree's on your farm, will now only occupy the space of one footprint. I hope this helps :)

Thanks Seraphina - saves me from having to go move a ton of them
Have a bit of a slight problem with another aspect of the update though

The feedback on what my worker is doing only shows up while I'm on my own farms, and has stopped showing when I'm at someone else's farm. I very much doubt that that was intentional so maybe flag it up as a known issue?

What is that message showing "calculating ingredients importance" that is coming out when I go to my storage? Is that something new? Besides being slow, 3 seconds in between clicks so I can fish and this now the game is being hard to accomplish this morning.. c'mon guys have a heart, fix one buy and another comes out...

But in the release , you mention about FC cash shown
Can you show where is the FC cash shown -can you show some guide?

Hi firegold flames.

If you click the account tab at the top of the game, there is a link there for farm cash purchase history. Hope this helps :)

Re: Oaks & Cloves footprint. I didn't notice any change in my forests. Is this just for new plantings or is there some way we can transform our existing trees???

Hi dorissau,

You would have to move your trees closer together, even tho right now they do take up 1 space, they are still in the same positions as you originally put them. i hope this helps.

tried the new button to open facilities in the coop and quest s it opens but can't start the facility..no button for it..maybe i just need to wait awhile for it to work itself out, but am reporting it just in case...love that feature..saves so much time...

What's the update? I've seen nothing that tells me what has been updated - but filling my facilities is so slow I am thinking of quitting Farm Town and I've been playing for years. Hope this is fixed soon - I've got too many other things to do that sit and wait 30+ seconds waiting for a facility to fill.

What is that message showing "calculating ingredients importance" that is coming out when I go to my storage? Is that something new? Besides being slow, 3 seconds in between clicks so I can fish and this now the game is being hard to accomplish this morning.. c'mon guys have a heart, fix one buy and another comes out...

Hi Texas Belle:)

No it isn't new, it always shows up when you go to your storage and set it to Non Ingredients (for me).:)

Hi Barbara:)

I have just checked my cooperative quest and I was able to start the last step without problems.

Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close it and your farm, then clear your browser cache and close your browser. Reopen and try again.

Hi psycho_mommi:)

When you open a facility from the Facility Manager you can see the Start All button inside that facility. But when you open it using the Open button from a quest, I think the Start All button isnt there, just because you only need to start production for one product and not for all of them.

I knew there was a new release when I went to work facilities and noticed new check boxes in preferences. We can now hide crops and tools. I'm happy. I've wanted to hide these for a while. I have a few friends where I hate to work their facilities because it takes so long long to load even when I have trees, flowers and facilities hidden, because they have layered crops.


This is such a great idea! Thanks Devs for this brilliant addition to happy and less stressful farming!

I think there is an issue in the Facility Manager: Since this update it takes a very long time to "start all" for the factories. Do others have the same problem or is it only me?
When filling up my factories this is what I do in the facility manager: I filter for active factories in all farms. Then facilty per facility I click on the start all button. Now it takes an immense long time to start up the production

Can anyone clarify how the FC log works. Is it only going to show the FC purchases etc as from Now? Also, the FC that I have purchased, it lets me put the date in from when I started playing FT (Sept 2009) - to date. However, the list starts in August 2013. Do I assume that that was when I first purchased FC? Thank you for any light you can shed on this new feature. Not sure I really want to know how much I have spent on the game really :D

Hi barbaraelwart,

Yes, it will only show FC purchases from the moment it was released, which was actually March 1st. The part you are allowed to put the date in is for ALL apps on facebook. That part is mainly aimed at those that play several games so they can keep track of which game they spent money on and for what.

Thanks for your answer Rob, I realise that is for all apps on FB, but as I only play FT mine will relate to this game. I am still not clear on the dates though - would it show right back to 2009 if I had bought FC back that far? and as it only shows back to 2013 - do I assume that is the first time I purchased it? I just cannot believe that I did not buy FC before then - it seems I have been buying it for years! lol!

I am not 100% sure, as that part has always been part of facebook, the developers just put a link in to make it simpler to access. the main part tho, is the one specific for farmtown.

However i do see on your data you did actually purchase FC in April 2010, hope that helps

Thanks for the updates and I'm sure you probably already know about the dragging since the new update. It it taking forever to H/P crops. It's almost like it was in the beginning when you had to wait for the avitar. Now you have to wait for the last harvest to finish before you can start the next one.
Also I am in the Market trying to hire a second person to help on other farms and it drags there to. I Have one person working on my farms and every time he harvests it stops me from clicking on someone else ...
cleared cache .. didnt help all my neighbors are complaining about the slowness too. Any Help?

When I changed my farm from Valentine's Day to St. Patrick's Day I noticed the number of storage spaces I was using went at one point from 611 to 600. For some reason I focused on it until I was sure I'd be fine, but I do remember 600. Now it says 210 so something has changed in the last month.

Hi psycho_mommi:)

When you open a facility from the Facility Manager you can see the Start All button inside that facility. But when you open it using the Open button from a quest, I think the Start All button isnt there, just because you only need to start production for one product and not for all of them.

hi mary.. the "start all" button had been in the factory opened from the quest step before today.

Hi,

I was looking at mine too. If you remember correctly up until last year or so whenever we bought farm cash, we did so directly through slashkey and not through facebook, so facebook wouldn't have records of that. I looked for mine as well and realized that is why they don't show.

I usually don't complain but I have a small gripe. I admit I am a little OCD and have a certain way I do things on my farms. I bought the 12X16 tree shaker. I wanted to re do my trees to fit that as now they are set up in 12X12 plots.I was going to re do them last update and then decided it would take to long to use the existing multi planters. Imagine my dismay to learn the new multi planter is 16X16 instead of 12X16. So they STILL won't line up correctly. Very frustrating. :eek:

Also, I agree with the other person who asked about the bulldozer. It would be nice to have a bigger one. I would also LOVE LOVE LOVE a tool that harvested and deleted.

Now; could you avail FT farmers of the possibility of hiring neighbors to plant as well as harvest and plow? especially if on vacation for a month or more it would help so much to be able to count on trusted neighbors to follow a schedule of planting etc. and both still keep moving ahead.

I hope this is just a temporary bug with the new hiring thing, everything is working fine until I hire someone in the market place...THEN.. I see them start working, and after that total freeze up for at least 2o seconds when if I am lucky I get to do one click, then freeze up again for 20 seconds, so far this morning I have spent the best part of 2 hours just trying to hire 10 people :( once they are hired I can't even get back to my farms without freezing. i have cleared browser, done the memcache thing, and rebooted, nothing helps :(

I also have to go to my on home page under my name to get my ingredients or bonus's to post in the groups but they all aren't there. :mad: I have also been waiting for 8 months or more for slashkey to send back the fc money I spent to get up to the silver dozer that is still missing from my storage. I lost all of them and I had to put the cash back out again for them and I am still only at a 3x3 dozer.

Why is it that the holiday people, such as the Irish Medieval Woman and Irish Medieval Man, are taller and slightly larger than the normal people? This is the case with many, if not all, of the holiday people, with the result that they don't look good next to the regular people. In fact, even the regular people are so tall that they look goofy next to buildings unless you place them very carefully, and having the holiday people even taller makes it that much harder. Please keep all people to the same scale!

not complaining, just FYI, I love the new ability to hide crops, was great when I planted a farm after another farmer harvested and plowed it, but had to uncheck the box to be able to Irrigate it as the message received when trying to do this with the crop hidden is that there is "nothing to irrigate".. no big deal but wondering if anything can be done about this perhaps in future updates.. :)

Hi Taz, when you say "reload to have the latest version". Please forgive my stupid question but how do I reload the game? I have no idea where to do that. Thanks in advance for an answer. You are all doing a good job!!!!! :)

My question is about the new level to 625 next week. I am at level 580 at this time, if I get to 600 before you change the new level will I go to 625 or will I continue receiving my levels until I max at 625? Thank you for your help. Jan Smith

when you are doing the quests, you do not want to 'start all', you only want to start one batch.

I rather liked the ability to 'start all' myself and miss it

Hi Jan,

You will only advance to 625 if you have enough XP to get to that level. if you have enough XP to get you to level 605 before the release, you will advance 5 levels when they are released. hope this helps.

Hi,

This function was not working correctly when going from the quest managers. And really, you only need to start 1 batch. So it has been removed. As to if it will be returned when fixed? i do not know.

Well, I must say, the game is flying this morning. For many days, it was slow, and then it just got slower.

But now......... zoom !!!

Yes, i can see your storage, but would take quite some time to go count it all, i don't actually have a total number.

Hey Rob, Whatever Raul did on the lag fix must have fixed my storage too cause this morning I have 1112 items in it. That's more like it!!! :D

Thanks again for your help!!!! :)

I noticed with the new release that when you are in the Quest Manager and you click to open an item that is ready to start, the "Start All" button is missing. It was there on Thursday. It is available when you go to the Facility Manager and open a facility. Can this be fixed?

Hi CatLady:)

It was removed because when you open a facility from the quest's button you only need to start that product and not all the products into that facility.

Also it is always better to start batch for the product and not start all for the product, just in case you get a glitch for your quest and that step is not registered.:)

Thank you for the New Release but I do not see anything new in the store, no new facilities, no new tools, no new items of any sort... So far all I see is a change in the Tool Box layout, in the preferences we have a new option to check off Crops, and Farm 25 expansions... that's it... is the rest going to be released with the details of the Release???... :confused:

check out item 14 in this release,it says we are getting 4 new facilities,however it does not say whether they are coin ones or farmcash,im guessing a little of both,but i could be wrong.

Hi,

I was looking at mine too. If you remember correctly up until last year or so whenever we bought farm cash, we did so directly through slashkey and not through facebook, so facebook wouldn't have records of that. I looked for mine as well and realized that is why they don't show.


Ahhh, yes thank you that does make sense now... :)

Bug Fix: Item Storage showing 'Item Storage Empty' message even when there were items stored

I have 1750 spaces in my Item Storage, yesterday I had 1488 used, now it tells me I only have used 662... It looks like my items are there but I really wouldn't know if a particular item is missing... example I thought I had 2 Waterfalls stored but it looks like I don't... It just seems weird because when I go through the list, it looks more than 662 items stored, my paths section alone has more than 100 items... Could this have anything to do with the fix???

I guess it was the Item Storage problem that was causing the incorrect amount of items in my storage.... this morning it reads 1497...

Thanks again for a great update, love the fact that we can hide crops along with Oak & Clove tree footprints are 1 space now instead of 4... I have already added about 2,000 more oak trees... :D
Now anxiously waiting for the 4 new facilities... You are the Bestest!!!

I am a bit confused about the transplanter. I understand that it transplants trees and/or flowers or specific trees or flowers to a different place on the same farm. I just purchased the 4x4 which says it transplants 16 trees. since the Oak trees now take up less room I wanted to move them to have the extra space. however the transplanter only moved up to 9 Oak trees. First it was four then it moved nine. am I doing something wrong?

Hi mpwhitford.
It would depend on how close they were to begin with. If they were spaced normal fo rprevious size then you won't be able to get 16 at a time because there are spaces in between them now. The transplanter will only pick up anything within the 4x4 square space. If the trees are seperated by space then it can't reach all of them.

Since the update, all of my belts have reverted back to white whenever I open and start anything from within the quest. Regular quest or co-op, it doesn't matter. If I open anything from the facility manager, it shows all of my belts just like they are supposed to look.

Just wondering if anybody else is experiencing this....

hi Dale H if you click different products for the same facility without closing the facility pop up it will look like you are not getting the credit but if you close the quests and then go back in you should find the blue start button has gone hope that helps :)

This has been reported to the developers. It doesn't effect your belts at all, so this is minor and will be fixed later.

Hi Ben,
No it doesn't. It is just that the belt information is not showing when you open the facility through the quests. You belts and dans are still at the same level they have been at. You can see that by looking in the facility manager and in the Belts tool.

I put all of my oak trees in storage using my tower crane, Then I planted them using the mult planter but I only had the option to plant 16, 64, 144. I didnt see a 256 option at all. And yes I did purchase the new one. what am I doing wrong?

Since the update, I cannot post my facilities or referrals. My gifts to receive always shows up as a total of 50 and even though I click accept all .... it doesn't accept them and any train requests are ones to which I have already responded to and so they show up as expired. My mem cache is cleared. Because I am married to retired software engineer, I can assure you that I have the latest and greatest in computer technology including high performance video cards and more memory than you can shake a stick at. I checked my facebook settings, they appear to be all just fine. I can see and work other peoples facilities. I can send gifts, at least I hope my neighbors are getting the gifts, unless I ask each one individually, I really have no way of knowing. Your response highly appreciated Have a wonderful week.

For whatever reason ... all my little issues seem to have resolved themselves. I can now receive my gifts and post my facilities and referrals.

KUDOS for an excellent job well done in a most timely manner. Have an excellent week.

As always, I'm delighted to see a new release and love this game. Since some of this release pertains to hiring issues, I want to throw in my 2 cents for some possible fixes and/or other improvements:


There seems to be a "ghost" issue now. The other day I went to the Market to hire and ended up with 6 ghosts on my farm. None of them were the person I hired.
One of my issues with hiring is that I prefer to hire solo. If I send a hire and the person doesn't respond, after awhile, I assume they're not going to so I hire someone else. Sometimes both will end up on my farm. I had hoped the fixes in this release would help that but it hasn't seemed to. I don't have a solution in mind for this one but it's an issue.
Another thing I would LOVE is to be able to know if a worker is still on my farm, and if so, which one. The new info text things tell us that so and so arrive on our farm (which one? I often hire for 20 farms at a time and people sometimes skip around when they work so the current messages don't give me a lot of info). Also, if I stepped out of the room for a minute and missed the scrolling text, it's gone - the message has disappeared. I think it would help to have some kind of permanent indicator of where a worker is - maybe a little dot on the farm triangle thing (or maybe change the block color of any farm that has a worker on it). That way, if I need to find my worker to hire them for another farm, see if they're still planning to continue (maybe they're taking a break and I can message them - or maybe they got booted off), I can get a quick visual of where they are or if they've gone.
There was one more issue but it could have been user-related. I hired someone to do all my farms and they did everything EXCEPT chop. That seemed odd to me so at first I thought it might have been a bug, however, I haven't noticed it except that one time so maybe I forgot to tick the "Chop" button when I hired or maybe the person I hired just really, really didn't want to chop.


Hope those ideas are helpful. :)

The improved customer service response is excellent! I wrote because shortly after the February update I had purchased 2 Green Gifting Machines by accident and wrote to get my refund, but the developers missed the fact that in addition to the one in storage I had one on my 12th farm. So I replied when I got a message saying I had 4 machines in storage, but no response ever came. I wrote again on Saturday and the refund arrived before I could even check my email! Kudos for the 10 minute turn around.... :D

I like the new ability to hide the crops too, by the way. Although this morning it was not just FT that was an issue but my router losing data packets and effecting every web page, faster speed is always a plus. Very few of my friends use only single layers anymore so being able to turn off all the fields helps a great deal.

Original QUEST: Time to produce items in the Semi-Trailer Truck finally showed 30 minutes (I own the Turbo Ordering Station.) when I started the product from the Quest Manager, but when I closed the Quest Manager and reopened it, the time then showed 1 hour. I don't see why it changed.

I always assumed it was looking up the time for the products, but not whether the ordering station was owned, and that was why it has been 1 hour even with the Ordering Station. I thought when it showed 30 minutes initially, that it had been corrected. It does show it "saw" my ordering station initially but I am not sure why it changed.

This is not a huge problem, but thought it might be an easy fix, because the Quest Manager was initially recognizing the Ordering Station.

Hi Texas Star,
That was only because it initially took the 30 minute time from the semi-truck. This is it appears a bi-product of adding the ability to open a facility from within the quest, but was by no means a fix for that. Since not everybody has the ordering station then the time for those items is still going to be 1 hour.

OK :) TY!

One more issue.. I and a neighbor have had trouble losing our Seawater bait. Mine went away last night. I had built up over 900k, between my fish farms and gifts. It was zero this morning. No one else has access to my account. Things go along normally then usually shortly after a new release the counter is reset to zero. Once I lost over 1.2 million, and this is the second time I've lost over 900K. It is six months or more since the last time..until today... for me. My neighbor had it last release. I have both been watching my balances before and as we fish so I know I am not just running out. It is always the seawater bait (never the freshwater bait) Any thoughts? TY!

As Taz pointed out, it takes a while for the pop up messages to be changed out. For a few months now I have gotten them within 2 or 3 days of when the next release has been made. So just ignore the date if you have already come here and read the thread. :cool:

Suddenly when I reach the end of doing factory work for others and try to close the tab, Opera pops up with a window asking if I really want to "leave this page."

Hi Shirl :)

You have 3 options, you could move each tree closer together, plant new ones in between, or put all of them into storage, and replant them. Whichever is easiest for you to do :)

I think the new hiring system has some bugs. I'm noticing the following:


Last night, I hired someone and with that single click, I both hired the farmer for my farm AND ended up BEING hired for someone else's farm. I hadn't wanted to work, but there I was.
I've had people show up on my farms with the "ready to work" message when I haven't even been to the Market.
I get ghosts fairly frequently now. Have already mentioned the time I came back from the Market with 9 people.
SOMEHOW someone got hired to clear out my Quest farm. This COULD have been my error, i.e., maybe I accidentally hired someone to do the Quest farm, but I'm usually pretty careful - I've never done that before so it makes me wonder if it's a bug.

I think the new hiring system has some bugs. I'm noticing the following:


Last night, I hired someone and with that single click, I both hired the farmer for my farm AND ended up BEING hired for someone else's farm. I hadn't wanted to work, but there I was.

I have had someone clear my quest farm long before the update, BUT I had just been to the market to hire, and I just chalked it up to clicking on the wrong farm. It's very easy to do. It has never happened since, which makes me even more sure it was my own error.

Another glitch? Since last night I have not been able to collect my train boosts, every time I go to collect one it tells me that it has expired which I know for a fact the person sending it has just advised me that she was sending the train my way.. what a bummer that is a way of getting extra goodies you need for your facilities.. please fix... thanks

Hi Qivis,
Were you possibly also using the Facebook chat and had something in the line where you type? I see this message in Firefox if I have an incompleted message in my chat, usually because I have hit another key when I clicked on return.

No, but since I typed my question last night it seems to have fixed itself. So I still have no idea why it did that! Ah well, what should I expect of a browser that thinks Obama, Facebook, and even Taz are all misspellings?!? :D

Could you tell us which issues do you have with the hide crops option please?

That's what I did. Except I just sold them and bought new as I have many, many coins. Then I replanted with the tool that lets you plant in bulk. Freed up a ton of space! Doubled the capacity on my chopping trees farm. Great update perk. :)

someone mentioned that they are seeing people arriving at their farm and ready to start work even when they haven't hired anyone, just wondering if they noticed that you get those messages when people come to work your factories/client services, not just when you hire in the market place for farm work. I like those notifications, gives me a fair idea of what is being done on all my farms :)

Hi max river,
We are having a hard time trying to understand why you would be trying to irrigate crops or use your combine tools with the crops hidden? They must be visible to do those functions. The same for flowers and trees. If they are hidden then you cannot irrigate them, check if they are ready or work on them.

Hats off to Raul and the dev team for all that hard work that doesn't show immediately (the back-end stuff), and the stuff that doesn't show at all but has to be done anyway (Facebook compliance. UUUGH!!)

Yes. I totally agree. This can't have been the most fun release for THEM to work on. ;)

Oh my goodness, I just saw the pink and white spring trees in the store! I had asked on the forum for those - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I LOVE them! I will buy lots so I can put some in storage, but it would be even better if you kept them as a permanent item.

There was the highlighted message about changes and that there were to be new levels tomorrow and then next week there would be new facilities~even naming the facilities---that was received 3-15 then the message disappeared I suppose when the new message update came the 3-17 so what happened?

If u hide the crops when working neighbours facilities, the farms load mush quicker

Hiding crops is most useful for those who do neighbors facilities.I really wanted the ability to do so.If you have neighbors with many layers of crops it can take a long time to load or impossible.Now you can load them. I am sure it is not meant for when you hire out as you need to see the crops:D and also when you water,but hiding flowers and tress will get the same response,if you don't have crops on a farm. I know this,because I do my daughters farm,and one of hers I get can't water because it is a town with no crops.But it is easy to fix,go unhide them:)

Last release promised a library to use goods manufactured in reading supplies factory! Where is it? Coming? When? Should I keep stockpiling these goods?

I have noticed some hiring glitches since the new release. In the market some times it still takes a long time for me to get the msg that someone accepted work an then there are still other times I don't get a msg an yet someone shows up an starts working which means I end up hiring more than one when I only wanted One person. Also there are people landing on my farms when I have been to the market an haven't had that happen in a very long time. The market worked for a very short time right after the release an now its gone back to being slow again for the most part,

Is there anything that can be done? I also seem to lose crops on farms but I am not positive of what is going on when that happens and wonder if its possible for someone to come to my farm after they have worked an do more work later? Other wise I guess my memory is playing tricks on me as it has happened quite often lately.

I think they are fixing or finding solutions to bugs and glitches first. The new facilities are posted to arrive the week.We still have a few days.I keep watching for them too:D

Hiding crops is also good if you want to add more ponds and seacoasts. You can place them under your fields while hidden and they won't be seen when you restore the crops - not making your farms more unsightly. I have
added a ton of more water since we have had this option. :)

Hi cocosfarm,
A library was not promised last release. It was a Reading Accessories Factory and that was released. Some were asking for a library but that was not promised.

To quote Raul exactly in the February release, "On the next release you will be able to load these products on the Bookstore and likely a library (new)." As of today the bookstore does not reflect the change either.

Hi Snookie Sue,
I missed that added note. However, this release is not over and since no library is listed in the facilities to be released I would then guess those will be added in the bookstore.

Hi cocosfarm,
I apologize. I missed that note he added. However, since the new facilities for this release haven't been released yet then we will just have to wait and see which they do.

In addition to the uses that others have already names, I've used it to see where to add that one or two more trees/flowers I need to complete my group. Sometimes tall crops hide that row.

So in the first page we have:


14. Facilities (coming next week): Trading Post Supplies Factory, Courthouse Supplies Factory, Indian Trading Post and Courthouse

which it has now been a week. But then today we have:

- Updates to the Library and Bookstore will be done in the next 2 releases (1-2 month)

What does the Library and Bookstore have to do with Trading Post & Supply Factory and the Courthouse and Supply Factory?

I am always appreciative of updates but now I am just confused.
