New Release -- January 11th, 2016

[Raul]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on February 1st, 7:40PM.

Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following new features and bug fixes: EN ESPAÑOL AQUI (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=619766)

1. 42 x 42 expansions for farms 1 - 10: 20000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash

2. Improvements to the 'Show Work Info' feature: The 'Show Work Info' will now show a breakdown of all work available, each work will have a different color with a legend on the top left. Here are again the rules for this feature in both contexts:

a) When 'Show Work Info' is requested while you are in the Market, it will show all work available for the specific Jobs you are trying to hire
b) When 'Show Work Info' is requested from the 'Show Names' window, it will show all work available for the currently selected tool. If you don't have any tool selected, it will show all work available for any tool.

Also, frozen flowers are now ignored and not counted on the results. On the next release they will also be ignored in the Farm Stats window.

3. Employee Mode Improvements: When working as an employee or Super Neighbour, when work is finished for the current tool and there is more work available on the farm, the next tool will be selected automatically.

4. 16 x 16 Crop Tools: Seeder and Harvest-Plant Combine are now available in 16 x 16 mode, this will allow you to perform farming operations over 256 fields at a time.

5. Performance Optimizations and Improvements released today:

- The 'Highlight Fertilized Crops/Trees' option in the preference window show a yellow glow effect on each item that is fertilized in the farm however this effect may slow down the farm especially on slower computers. As an alternative, you can disable this effect and instead look at the background color of the top oval containing the farm name, if it's Olive Green instead of brown then the farm is fertilized.

- Added 'Show Ponds' option to the Preferences Window
- Better performance of single tools
- The XP/Coins floating info text was shown too low sometimes interfering with farming work
- When highlighting items especially trees the highlighted item was overlapped by the info text
- Removed Spanish and French translations, they were never fully completed and currently had translation errors as well
- Farmer storage content is sent to the browser only if needed, reducing bandwidth

BugFix: In the 'Farm Stats' window while waiting on the results, if you moved the mouse outside the window, for example to access another tab in the browser, you may have experienced a Timeout message
BugFix: Sometimes after releasing a tool, a section of the farm remained highlighted until a refresh was done

6. Performance Optimizations and Improvements released during the past 3 weeks:

- When working as an employee or Super neighbour your avatar will not move anymore as you farm, same as when you are working solo, however other users in the farm will see your avatar moving, so they have a better idea of which section of the farm you are working on.
- Before this release we had 6 zoom levels, from 1 (fully zoomed out) to 6 (fully zoomed in). We just added another zoom level between 1 and 2 to make the jump less abrupt.
- After using the irrigator/water sprinkler we now show the feedback message as a floating text instead of the usual message box, so no extra click is required.
- After using the manure spreader we now show the feedback message as a floating text instead of the usual message box, so no extra click is required. However this change only applies to those who have the green manure spreader.
- When you mouse over your water items you will now see the Growth time as well even if you don't have any fishing tool selected.
- When fishing with the pole or boat, the small water circle animation or the net is now shown right where you clicked, not an inch below.
- Super neighbours and regular players invited to design together can now freeze and unfreeze flowers.
- Less bandwidth consumed while farming, which could have a positive impact on performance, specially for users with slower internet connections.
BugFix: There was an issue with the Eye that after using the water can, sprinkler and other tools, the worked items were not coming back to a visible state even after releasing the tool.
BugFix: Fixed the old bug of watering flowers and then not been able to harvest them right away unless the farm was reloaded.
BugFix: When finishing working a farm, after changing farms the XP and coins suddenly changed.
BugFix: Super neighbours with all permissions allowed for designing can't use the green hand when the employer has the green hand but the Super neighbour does not own one.
BugFix: Ordering by Level in the neighbour bar was not working for users with very high XP

7. Ice Fishing Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Ice Fishing Supplies.

Ice Hole Insulator
Ice Fishing Scoop
Ice Fishing Sled
Ice Picks
Ice Auger
Ice Fishing Shelter
Ice Fishing Pole
Jack Trap

8. Car Dealer Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Car Dealer Supplies.

Portable Display Ramps
Paper Mat
Suggestion Box
Giant Balloon
Key Storage Board
Velvet Rope
Car Lot Flags
Air Dancer

New products in other facilities: Velvet Textile Roll in the Textile and Spinning Mill.

9. British Restaurant (FC): Produces British food.

Pigs in Blankets
Ocean Pie
Scotch Eggs
Sausage and Chips
Shepherds Pie
Beef Wellington
Beef w/ Yorkshire
Rhubarb Crumble

10. Car Dealer (Coins): Provides Car Retail Services and can be stocked with products from the Car Dealer Supplies Factory.

Enjoy!

Post-Release Updates - January 12th, 4:00AM

- We just unchecked the 'Highlight fertilized crops/trees' preference option for all users. As mentioned in the notes of this release, this option may slow down the game and is not really needed at this point, as you can instead look at the background of the top oval containing the farm name, if it's Olive Green it means the farm is fertilized.

However, if you still want to have the yellow glow effect on the fertilized items, exactly like it was before, just go to the Preference Window and enable again the 'Highlight fertilized crops/trees' option, just click the green tick when asked for confirmation.

Post-Release Updates - January 12th, 3:00PM

- Fixed an X025 error when buying animals from the store.

Post-Release Updates - January 14th, 12:00AM

- When working super neighbour farms, if you are allowed to plant, the harvest storage counters of the super neighbour will be refreshed every time you navigate to another farm, so when you need to open it's storage to pick a seed, each crop stored quantity is updated automatically based on the work you did on previous farms. This was the way it was working before the latest release.

Post-Release Updates - January 14th, 4:00PM

- Fixed a bug where a 'Joining Room' messages remained in the screen indefinitely while changing farms.

Post-Release Updates - January 15th, 7:00PM

- Released the British Restaurant.

Post-Release Updates - February 1st, 7:40PM

- Released old valentine items and 11 new valentine items, 6 as gift and 5 on the Store.

Known Issues

- None.

[Taz D]

I cant find the new releases yet others seem to have got them Raul Help me
Hi iceberg,
Try clearing your memcache and see if they show up. New facilities and tools.

[JohnAlbertini]

What is the point of the needless white highlighting of everything whether ready to harvest or not? Seems extremely distracting to me at least at first glance.

[cheech327]

liking what i see so far thank you

[carolannhallam]

We noticed that there is a white light surrounding our cursor on the farm whenever you hover over crops. There is also a square light around the avatar.

[KnittyGirl]

Love the update that automatically pulls up the next tool when you're done harvesting or chopping or fishing instead of clicking it off and clicking on another one!!! LOVE IT!!!!

[Jean's Farm]

off shore drilling rig?

Where?? I can' find one??? TY!!!

[Tiger]

Hi JohnAlbertini,

Check your game settings and see if there is a check mark in "Highlight Fertilized crops/trees". Remove it if you don't want to see the highlight.

[Tiger]

Where?? I can' find one??? TY!!!

Hi Jean's Farm,

That's probably just beverdusters' wishful thinking. You'll need to wait for Raul to post the details for the list.

[JohnAlbertini]

I like the automatic switch of tools as we finish with one tool on to the next without having to go get it - nice!

[Jean's Farm]

Hi JohnAlbertini,

Check your game settings and see if there is a check mark in "Highlight Fertilized crops/trees". Remove it if you don't want to see the highlight.


Looks like a part of the release. I tried to highlight my crops again and it says it may make the game run slower. To see if your farm is fertilized check where the name of the farm is. It will be olive green if fertilized.

[art4227]

I noticed yesterday and today that my gift fuel disappears from storage when i process my facilities.

[mlrobards]

Very happy girl here...Thanks guys!:D

[ceciliawells33]

Hi Art,
Do you have the gas station? If so make sure that fuel cans is unchecked in that. It will use gift storage first before using regular fuel cans.

[Delores Miller]

Thanks for the update but several of my friends and neighbors cannot work my facilities since the update.

[Jean's Farm]

Hi Jean's Farm,

That's probably just beverdusters' wishful thinking. You'll need to wait for Raul to post the details for the list.


It was cause I see nothing new like that in the store and Raul didn't say anything. :)

[Tiger]

Hi Everyone,

Raul has updated his top post here with the details of todays release. Please read it for information.

Thanks

Hi Delores,
What are they getting when they try to work them?

[Delores Miller]

Hi Taz,

The blue work button on the right top side is not there. Thanks for your help!

[Clohar]

I do have a problem I can't have the game in french when I change the language in the preferenxces. Any clue about that problem.

[beautysmom]

The change to display of the fertilized farms is awful!!!! Now it looks like nothing is fertilized without mousing over it. And it is very difficult, on some crops, to tell if the fields are even planted....

Otherwise, thanks for the release!

[Tom C]

Removed Spanish and French translations, they were never fully completed and currently had translation errors as well

[anotherfarmer]

First let start by saying thank you for update :)
I hope I explain this ok............. ;) I am having troubles when I try to purchase in multiples, I try to buy paths etc and when putting down it starts off ok but then after a few the % loads after purchase but paths are not showing as to add more, I have to keep refreshing to see them which is annoying and takes too much time and no fun trying to design :( any help appreciated :)

[PK...]

A MOST excellent update. LOVE the automatic tool switches and hiding ponds is better than sliced bread!

Great job~ ;0))

[slimpat]

I have a question at times I have a red dot on my name across from the green one it is not always there also on one of my farms it has F,W,I,Q, that do these mean I know the F,W,I, but not the Q nor do I know what the red dot means can not fine any information on these Could somebody please explain for me Please

[mcdaddie]

Some things about the upgrade are great :) , but I think it is terrible to add more facilities that require brass sheets when we are already in trouble on the zinc ore production and the brass sheet production not keeping up with the things we already make. I think the amounts of production should be increased on both items and it would be nice to see them both added to the respective train cars. I love the auto switch on tools while doing neighbor farms.

[gffarmer]

Thanks for the great update!!

Hi anotherfarmer,
This would most likely be because things are slowed down currently due to the number of players on right now checking out the new release. Give it some time for things to go back to normal and speed back up.

[Taz D]

Hi slimpat,
The Q means you have that farm set as a quest farm.
The red dot on your name means that you have been set as a super neighbor for the player whose farm you are on at the time. It only shows when you are on their farms.

[Taz D]

Hi Taz,

The blue work button on the right top side is not there. Thanks for your help!

https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=1516110089&__mref=message
Is the facility opening for them or are they clicking on one to open it? If it is working then they should open automatically and not by clicking on the facility.

[bluehair]

time to buy some new facilities and save for the new tools

[Darrell Joe]

thank you for a great update! Love the tool-changing as an employee! Awesome!

[slimpat]

Thanks Taz appreciate the speedy response

[JAS0643]

Thank you for the upgrade. Can we have an increase in ceramic pots being produced. That is a fc facility and while I don't mind having more then 1 facility even a fc one that is the only item in that facility I need more of. You need twice as many as the facility can produce for a full load of things needing pots.

[Clohar]

hi clohar,

very disappointed of that change especially for my french speaking friends

Not sure but since this update came out,i am getting x25 errors when trying to buy multiple sheep for my wool sheds,any help you can give would be greatly appreciated,link to my farm 26 is here http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=528594993&farm_ix=25

Hi Boduke,
I just tried this myself and was also getting the X025 error even trying to buy 1 from the store. We will report this to the developers.

[Docperk]

Thanks for the updates.

[Clohar]

Very disappointed of seing that french version of the game as been delated especially for my french speaking friends. This was useful for them when they could have it in their language using the preferences of the game to change it. There is a lot of them who doesn't speak or understand english. I was already getting messages from them to translate and since the update it is worst. Hope the dev. will work it around to have it again. I can help for translation to help them if they want.

[anniesgrannie]

This is great! I really appreciate the changes you have and are making to speed up the game! Thanks!!!

[JudyD1651]

Thanks for the update. I'm having a problem with storage, it won't let me put any items in storage. I sold some items from storage to free up some space but it still won't let me add any items.

[FarmerWitch]

Thank you so much for the new things to play with!

[Taz D]

Thanks for the update. I'm having a problem with storage, it won't let me put any items in storage. I sold some items from storage to free up some space but it still won't let me add any items.
Hi JudyD,
When you go to your Item storage , in the upper left corner it tells you how many slots you have available and how many are in use. Is the usage number less than the number of spaces available? If not then that would be why you can't stor any more items. Please note that any farm cash purchased items such as tools do not use any spaces in Item storage, so don't sell those as that won't help. Normal animals do not count for space either.

[maggiel29]

42 x 42!!! and A british restaurant hope it does yorkshire puddings :) And proper fish and chips. Thank you for all the work you have done to speed up the game.

[billypanther]

thanks a lot :-)

[LazyMare]

A British Retaurant ???

We haven't had those since rationing stopped in the 1950's :D

Thanks Devs for a fab update
That Chicken Quesadilla, Cod and the flower bouquets are now no longer "expand your farm to XxX" is great, BUT that ALL the menus have gone only to English was maybe sledgehammer to crack a nut ??

[iceberg]

Hi iceberg,
Try clearing your memcache and see if they show up. New facilities and tools.

Tks Taz, All is well.

[smilie224]

This update is great! Thank you as always. I am constantly impressed with how much time and effort you put into the game to always keep it fun! Appreciated - farmer since the start :)

[Delores Miller]

Is the facility opening for them or are they clicking on one to open it? If it is working then they should open automatically and not by clicking on the facility.

It automatically opens for them, but no blue work button. When they click on a facility it opens, but still no blue work button. Also, it happens using Edge, Chrome and Opera.

[jkpaul76]

I have noticed with the tool switching on larger farms that I would normally hide trees then flowers and crops. That this feature of the larger farms I am working that I am getting sent home when the tool switches. Is there a way to make this optional for the larger farms? Seems to be to much for the trees then flowers to switch at that moment and that is booting me back to my default farm. Thanks

[NiMo1960]

Gameplay certainly improved with this update.
Love that I can now see which field need seeding without having to visit every farm.
So much time saved with this update :)

[tassydevil_1au]

Please please please put the crops back the way they were. Its almost impossible to harvest the green crops as they blend in with the colour of the game.

[marymarcel]

Hi all:)

From Raul's notes for the New Release:

Yes please!!!

[Sweet Peas]

Thanks for the updates and keeping this game interesting! I do not have the car supplies factory in facilities, only the car dealer.

[Hallets]

Can't afford FT Cash with the $ exchange rate and your facilities are too expensive so some kind "sale" for FT Cash facilities would be nice. Not every player lives in the US you know! But good job anyway..

[macwinter]

Thank you. Great update. Love this game.

[dorissau]

{BugFix: Fixed the old bug of watering flowers and then not been able to harvest them right away unless the farm was reloaded.}

don't understand this "fix". If we water and harvest before reloading, we still get a "false crop".

Hi Taz D
Yes, I am very well aware of all of that and I have no intention of selling farm cash items for coins. I removed items from storage and put them on my farm then I tried to add them back to storage, it wouldn't let me. A message popped up that said I needed to add more neighbours. It shows Capacity: 1645 Usage: 1675. I have 104 neighbours showing on the bar at the bottom. It was working fine until a few days before this update.

Hi Judy,
When I looked at your data last night you only had 103 neighbors, but that still will not help in this situation. You have over the allowed for the number of neighbors you have so you will not be able to add any more to your storage unless you can add more neighbors or lower what you have in storage.

[beautysmom]

The change in how super neighbors appears to have introduced a major glitch. I had my super neighbor harvest and plow 9 farms, and to plant crops on 3 of those farms. I asked for a farm each of strawberries, garlic, mushrooms and wheat. I ended up with 4 farms of garlic, 3 farms of wheat, 3 farms of mushrooms and one farm of strawberries. So I am spending my morning stripping and replowing farms so that I can plant split farms of other things I need. Can the devs please look at this? My SN is a billion point player, and it doesn't look to be her fault. Thanks!

[Texas Belle]

Thank you, thank you, for all the bugs fix and for the tools, like I always say, you guys rock...

[Tiger]

Thanks for the goodies, but since the update last evening one or two of my neighbors have been getting the X025 Error whenever they try to add to their animals. The animal still appears that has been purchased from the store when the game in refreshed, but buying 1 animal and then refreshing it will take all day to add 200! Buying multiples from the drop down list also does not work since the X025 Error occurs on the first rabbit, sheep, or llama placed on the farm.

Hi Qivis,

Known Issues

- Buying animals is generating an X025 error, this will be fixed later today.

[ckerider]

I have noticed that since the update my computer has slowed down when I am doing stuff in the Facility Manager. Has anyone else noticed this change? It is very noticeable and kind of frustrating. Thanks for any info you can supply me.

Hi beautysmom,
Did another super neighbor possibly plant the rest or your super neighbor misunderstand your instructions? There was a problem back a couple releases of crops shifting and not being planted in the correct spot but that was on a single farm and not across several farms.

Thanks! I guess this is what I get for farming at 3am. The note had not been added yet when I last looked! :D

[Shellgirlmtl]

Once again you have outdone yourselves and surprised us... Love the new features, love all the new additions & goodies, bugfixes, etc. (I WAS hoping that the expansions would stop at 40x40 but heck, I can't resist, I expand... lol)... I did notice something wrong with the belts... last night, a few hours after we received the update, I had 18,664 of soybean ready to harvest, which I did... Note, I have the 7th Dan for Soybean... normally counting in the fertilization and the 7th Dan bonus I should have received around 60,000 units, instead I got 39,832 and I had to refresh my farm for it to calculate... about an hour later I had another 2,574 units ready for harvest, again I had to refresh to see the total amount harvested and this time it game me another 7,126 units more, which is about right... so the first harvest I did, I lost out... To double check the calculation, I replanted another 18,664 soybean which are ready now... this morning I harvested potatoes, I received the correct harvest but I had to refresh my farms before it got calculated...

A suggestion regarding production, since the last few updates, brass sheets have become a rarity (I bought 6 more Metal Mills just to accommodate my need) and now this update we need more brass sheets so I bought another 2 Metal Mills... I think we need a production increase on brass sheets hence an increase on zinc ore...
Thank you for another great update... :)

Hi Shellgirlmtl,
Please keep in mind that the belt bonuses are not an exact amount. It says "up to xx%" so it is not always the same amount.

[poppyhfd]

I noticed that clicking on a farm still takes long to load. Can this be sped up ?

[frostyvb56]

thanks for teh update n info ..

[tbirdcat]

I just wanted to say TY, TY, TY for the new updates.. I love them all.. You have made this game so much more exciting..

Hi Shellgirlmtl,
Please keep in mind that the belt bonuses are not an exact amount. It says "up to xx%" so it is not always the same amount.

Thanks Taz, but I think I have played this game long enough to know that... I keep all statistics... just harvested the 3 farms of soybean which I replanted last night... This time I received a more reasonable amount but I still had to refresh each time for it to reflect in my storage amount... Here is what I got

Started with 47,023 Soybean in Storage

FYI all farms fertilized
6490 plots... harvested... 52,121 in storage... refreshed... 65,101
therefore 6490 gave me 18,078 units in total

7668 plots... harvested... 71,046 in storage... refreshed... 86,382
therefore 7668 gave me 21,281 units in total

4486 plots... harvested... 89,897 in storage... refreshed... 98,867
therefore 4486 gave me 12,485 units in total

3 farms of 18,644 plots gave me 51,844 units versus the 39,832 from last night which makes more sense but still I think the calculation is off or not reliable... If you look carefully at the amounts, after the harvest it doesn't even calculate the full number of plots (ex 6490 + 47,023 = 53,513 versus 52,121)... PLEASE NOTE: each time I had to exit FarmTown and re-enter to get the calculated amounts...

Taz, this is NOT a complaint, it is only an observation that I would like the Devs to know about... Raul always asks for us to report back any unusual happenings so I am letting you know...

Note to Devs...Again, please, please increase production levels for Brass Sheets and Zinc Ore... Thank you, always appreciate what you do to make this game Number One in my eyes...

[FarmerSavage]

Thanks for the update...one problem tho-- the planted fields now look a WHOLE lot more like the plowed fields. It's much harder to see what's been planted (except for rice and wasabi, of coursed.)

[Auron1]

Thanks so much, Raul. You guys rock! :)

[Shellgirlmtl]

I have to Apologize... I did more harvesting and realized something that I am in error, because, I have to admit that I am guilty of overlaying plots & layering (I do not abuse it but I am guilty of taking advantage of it)... I believe the calculations are reflecting the wrong amounts because of my layering... it never did before and that is why I noticed the discrepancies... I harvested a farm that had overlayed plots but not layered and I got the correct amount in storage without refreshing... On layered farms I never had to refresh my farms to get the full calculated amounts... Again I do apologize but it is still something the Devs should be aware of... So sorry... I certainly would understand if you have to delete this post and related posts... Thanks Taz, but I think I have played this game long enough to know that...

[earlgray]

Thank you for the upgrade. Can we have an increase in ceramic pots being produced. That is a fc facility and while I don't mind having more then 1 facility even a fc one that is the only item in that facility I need more of. You need twice as many as the facility can produce for a full load of things needing pots.

I strongly second this suggestion.

[Rugged Barbie]

Thanks for the update!
4 mentions :confused:
1. dragging the farm to another section across the screen is painstakingly slow and almost makes me seasick
2. the SALE balloon man in the Car Dealer Service - the word SALE is printed backwards
3. the crops and trees still show a glow regardless of clearing etc.
4. when you increase the need for items when we buy new Factories, please consider that we players need an increase in production of these overused ingredients:
a. brass sheets
b. fiberglass sheets
e. paper rolls
f. clay pots
g. felt rolls
h. leather rolls
Yes, I have all the train cars except for the last several that I don't need and multiple factories that produce the above. I have this issue even with just loading up 1 full set of Factories on my main Factory farm.
Thanks for reading!

[Birdsbeth]

I am having a problem as a Superneighbor. I get the purple tool for harvest/plow/seed/fertilizer for 1 farm. When I go to another farm, it isn't available. This problem started a little over 12 hours ago. Thank you.

I totally agree with item #4 here. There needs to be something done to help us with the zinc ore and brass sheet shortage instead of just adding more facilities that use those products. Please adjust and/or add to their respective train cars. Thanks

[brenda steele]

either im going blind (which is very likely lol)
but i cant find ice rink in new update have found ice fishing supplies tho ?????

Ice rink was months back before Trading Post Supplies

[brenda steele]

I have just been to do my trains and when I try to boost them the box comes up with no names in and a line going through it like its trying to load the names but they wont load, have left it for like 5 minutes trying to load and still wont, can you take a look please, thank you

[RoseArienh]

The new update is fun and appreciated, as always.

But the new zoom level!! It wins as my favorite.

[JudyD1651]

Hi Judy,
When I looked at your data last night you only had 103 neighbors, but that still will not help in this situation. You have over the allowed for the number of neighbors you have so you will not be able to add any more to your storage unless you can add more neighbors or lower what you have in storage.

I emptied my storage, I put all the items except the farm cash items on a farm. Capacity 1660 Usage 0. Most of the items I had in storage were seasonal and holiday decorations. It would be nice if we had a section in the store for Seasonal and Holiday items so we could have access to them all year round then we wouldn't have to save them in storage or on a farm. Thanks. :)

[beautysmom]

Hi beautysmom,
Did another super neighbor possibly plant the rest or your super neighbor misunderstand your instructions? There was a problem back a couple releases of crops shifting and not being planted in the correct spot but that was on a single farm and not across several farms.

I have no other neighbor who is allowed to plant on my farms. And no, I am sure that Brenda didn't do it intentionally--it's more as if she would harvest/plow/sow, go to the next farm, do trees or flowers, and then when she went to harvest the farm, it carried the same crop in the combine.... We talked after I noticed it, and she swears that she didn't know how it happened. One thing I did notice--these are all crops that are so dark when planted that it is difficult to even notice that they have been planted....

[bookworm50]

Thank you for all the new up dates. My favorite this time around is #3. it's so nice just to go from tool to tool so easily. Thanks to all that are behind the scene & for all the hard work you do for us!

Hugs~Donna

I wish we would get xp's when we harvest trees & flowers and do the fishing .. I remember we used too but not it is only coins .. :(

[Taz D]

Hi Penny,
I am afraid we have never gotten experience for doing fish, flowers, trees nor crops. What you get instead is part of the harvest plus coins. The only thing you get experience for is plowing as you do not get any crops with that.

[Judy Cowan]

:o YAHOO RAUL & TEAM THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE UPDATE... AND OF COURSE FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK IN KEEPING FARMTOWN RUNNING EVERY DAY.... MAY GOD BLESS LOVE TO ALL :D

[auntsusie59]

Thank you very much for the update. May God Bless you all.What would be the chance of increasing the gift box; 125 is not enough. Especially if the farmer goes to some of the free gift sites to get gifts. Also number of gifts you can exchange at a time 50 just isn't enough.

[auntsusie59]

[liza1214]

Please please please put the crops back the way they were. Its almost impossible to harvest the green crops as they blend in with the colour of the game.

i too find it hard to harvest without the highlite for fertilization as the crops r difficult to see the plots seems to all blend into one another so have had to put it back on but has slowed the game down a bit was wondering if possible if we could b given the option of just highliting the crops when activating the highlite for fertilization ( not sure if it will make a difference to the speed tho) ........just a thought !!

[Rugged Barbie]

Now the car dealer factory is showing correctly on 1 farm but the word SALE is still backwards on another of my farms.

[jankath]

Thank you so much for the "hiding ponds" option. This is something that always is irritating when working for the more advanced farmers but not fishing.

[Taz D]

Hi Rugged Barbie,
Just like the Taco restaurant, and other facilities which have a sign on them, one direction the sign is correct and the other facing direction the sign lettering is backwards. They are just mirror imaages of the original graphic drawing.

[summermummy1!]

hi how do i get extra coins plz

[Taz D]

hi how do i get extra coins plz
Hi summermummy,
If you mean farm cash then you can either buy it through the Buy Cash tab, or do the offers inthe Earn Cash tab, or work on the quests to get extra by completing the required amount within a 7 day period.
If you mean the coins, there are many ways to get them that are too numerous to list here. SOme ways are to work for others, harvest and sell your crops, buy facilities and fill them to get more coins from the products you make.

[tsoupra]

Who ever thought that highlighted has to do anything with the game speed I think is wrong. I just harvested several farms check and uncheck the highlighted option.
The game loads the same size farms with crops with no affect by the highlighted but when is unchecked because it's more difficult to see everything it's slower. Also, when I check the highlighted option it doesn't show but need to reload the farm to see it

[miagraine head]

When are you PPl going to stop Expanding the Farms. It makes it difficult for ppl to play the game.

I would also like for you to change my Name to Kelly law Pls I am not know for that name any more

Just thought i'd let the moderators and developers know the x25 error i was getting yesterday trying to buy animals from the store has been fixed,thank you Raul and Developers for fixing this as quick as you did,am a happy guy for sure.

[barbara nixon]

i noticed the fertilized farms were different..figured it out but came here to make sure it was new feature..will take some getting used to the diff look.but it is ok..did a restore on my comp and figured out the problem with pictures..Taz ur the best, gave me idea what was causing it after all the searching and cleaning..my advanced sys care was doin to good a job with my hard drive, so i un checked the optimizer for it and lo and behold..that was it...worked with edge for a week before i couldn't stand it anymore...lol...still like chrome better..lots of things i can do in chrome and not edge..was aggravating...keep up the good work devs,, great game still...

Hi Barbara,
Glad you got that problem solved. Fir the fertilization highlight the only thing that they did was add the warning message for it about it slowing down the game and then turn it off for everyone so they would see the warning. It is still the same as it was if you turn the highlighting back on.

[Palmarina]

Hello, this morning when loading Farm Town I still had the window with the December 10te update message!!! Maybe someone should turn on the message with the most recent update?
Thanks for your hard work!

[mcdaddie]

I have had this problem all day but fought with it trying to learn more about it so as to help the devs out troubleshooting it. On two different PC's (both top of the line Alienware) running two different OS's (Win 10 and Win 7) and trying two different browsers (Chrome and Firefox) I am getting a black box with "joining room" when going to neighbor farms. The box stays right there, never going away and is sending process messages to the chat box tying up the CPU somewhat. If I turn off all options in preferences it allows me in and as I start to turn them back on and travel around the different farms it will lock up again with "joining room" in black box. I am a superneighbor on the farm locking up which is going to cause lots of grief tomorrow when I have to to some work there.

And yes moderators, to save you a few keystrokes, I HAVE ALREADY cleared memcache and cleared both browser memory. Seems to be getting worse as the day goes on so I thought I should get it on record incase others also are having the same problem.

Thanks

[Gerald]

This is the same situation I have also.

[jan tanner]

Since the update I have lost all water on my farm and on a super neighbors farm ,it just will not display.

[WillowTreeFarm]

mcdaddie & Gerald, I was having this problem on my super neighbor also till I realized I was carrying a tool with me while trying to change farms. I like to chop trees 1st before doing anything else and now with the tools coming up automatically a tool was in my hand while changing farms so now I make sure to click on the green man & the joining room went away. Good luck.

[Petuniaflower]

Do you have show ponds turned on in tools? We now have the option to show water or hide it.

[jan tanner]

no not the problem that's my first thought then a reboot still no water

[jan tanner]

thanks that was the problem

[LazyMare]

Am having similar difficulties to Mcdaddie gerald and Willow - keep getting stuck on Joining Room when changing farms. My hire had the same problem if I tried to do anything at all while they were working.
Also when trying to place decorations - they all disappear, but are there when I reload the game
Have done the usual maintenance and hoping the fault clears up on it's own - just reporting in case it's a server issue

[knolan]

I have unchecked the highlighting tool for fertilized crops, and the color is still horrible. It is wicked to look at, some of my farms that I've decorated & left some items at full maturity have changed the color of the farm as a total picture. By changing the color, I mean that the highlighting is horrific when I have designed specific features or farms based on the trees or flowers I've used & now I can't view the original colored item. This is one change I hope will be reversed. Thank you so much for any other updates that help the operation of the game & for new items. I still see tho, that the farmcash issue will never change to accommodate the less fortunate, and the lowering of the cost of expansions. Darn

[mcdaddie]

That is not my problem Willow, I don't carry tools and sometimes it happens on the initial entry onto neighbors farm.

[mcdaddie]

The next problem found while being a superneighbor, I always plant the item they need more than others as determined by the sorted inventory list "by Stored Amount". Before update, as I harvest a crop the inventory number increased dynamically taking it off the current page of inventory showing me the next item I need to plant. NOW, after update, the inventory is NOT being updated in real time. The inventory numbers don't change until I leave neighbors farm and come back. I am sure is was something done to "enhance" speed of the game. Well, I think it is terrible the inventory numbers are not realtime anymore, the speed of the game is no better after after update than before. Yes the visual appearance of the game has changed which can be debated, but we should not sacrifice the play-ability at the same time. I am concentrating on what I perceive to be a bad thing here, and that should not reflect that I don't think there were many good things done at the same time. Thanks.

[Dr. Dirt]

When you go to a super neighbor farm where you have design privileges the green hand comes up first and you have to go to the tool box to get any tools you need. Each time you finish with that tool the green hand pops back up. They need to change it where the tools you need to use have priority and you would have to go in the toolbox for the green hand.

[Farmer_Susan]

Here's the scenario:


I own 5 Fish Farming Plants and the Pearl Oyster Container item is checked
I've unchecked both of the items in the Hand Made Jewelry Shop that use Pearl Oyster Containers and they've been unchecked for a month or two
When I go to my Facility Manager and check the "Run until full" thing, it shows that I need 301 Pearl Oyster Containers


So my questions are:


How can I be short 301 of them if I'm not currently making any items that use them?
What's happening to them? I specifically unchecked the 2 items in the Hand Made Jewelry Shop because I wanted to stockpile the Pearl Oyster Containers because I was tired of running out. I thought that maybe I had inadvertently sold them in the Market but I use the "non-ingredients for me" option and I checked it just now and the Pearl Oyster Containers aren't on that list.


Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Hi Susan,
You need to turn those off in the Artisan Jewelry Studio (factory), not the Hand Made Jewelry Shop (service)

[Farmer_Susan]

Hi Susan,

Well, heck. Of course! LOL I did have one of them turned off in Artisan - it seems like we have a pretty severe deficiency of the Pearl Oysters if 5 Fish Farming Plants can't keep up with making one item. I've got both turned off now. Hopefully now I can stockpile for awhile.

Thanks, Taz. : )

[lollipopthebunny]

Thank you for the Update an new facilities. I have noticed it doesn't seem to be showing in the market the 'message' saying you have tried to hire someone if it does it 'flashes' real fast an I miss it quite often. It is harder to get people harder also. It seems real slow for people to respond to requests at times.

This is very true. Also, I don't get the neighbor chore box that allows me to perform a chore (water, weed, etc.) for my neighbor to earn my coins and experience points for visiting them -- which leads me to wonder if visiting these neighbors will count towards my fuel allowance when it comes time to refuel?

I'd also like to mention how much I like the updates to the 'Show Work Info' window. It's turning into quite a helpful little tool that I refer to regularly. :)

Hi Dulcinea,
You won't get that chore box for a super neighbor.

[anotherfarmer]

Hi anotherfarmer,
This would most likely be because things are slowed down currently due to the number of players on right now checking out the new release. Give it some time for things to go back to normal and speed back up.


Thank you for reply :) I did wait and tried again today and same thing is happening :(

[earlgray]

Hi Rugged Barbie,
Just like the Taco restaurant, and other facilities which have a sign on them, one direction the sign is correct and the other facing direction the sign lettering is backwards. They are just mirror imaages of the original graphic drawing.

I know that's the way it is, but I don't understand why they can't (and don't) just rotate the graphic image without taking its mirror image. There's no good reason as far as I can see, and it would be nice to have the lettering be correct on both directions of the facilities. Too late, I suppose, to change all the ones that have already been released (unless they could just correct the lettering), but maybe for future facilities they could consider this.

[marymarcel]

Hi all:)

From Raul's notes for the New Release

Post-Release Updates - January 14th, 12:00AM

- When working super neighbour farms, if you are allowed to plant, the harvest storage counters of the super neighbour will be refreshed every time you navigate to another farm, so when you need to open it's storage to pick a seed, each crop stored quantity is updated automatically based on the work you did on previous farms. This was the way it was working before the latest release.

[LazyMare]

Whatver the devs have tweaked it seems to be working - am no longer freezing up at Joining Room (touching wooden head)
TY TY TY :D :D :D

[Farmer_Susan]

First, love, love, LOVE the "SP" (seeds ready to be planted) thing we have now. That will save TONS of time!!!

Second, a suggestion . . . I don't know about Flash/Action Script, but in HTML, you can put something in a title attribute and the user can see it when they hover over the item. If something similar is possible here, it would be AWESOME if, on the "Show Work Info" tab, we could hover over a farm and see the name of the farm. I know we can toggle back by using "Show Names" but if the title attribute thing or something similar will work here, it would be a nice convenience for users and might also save some resources on the back end. My brain isn't great at retaining - you'd be AMAZED at the number of times I find myself toggling back and forth between those two tabs! LOL

[Valdoe]

Ok are we having issues..

all my farms that have lakes rivers and sea shores are all missing.. I can see need to be fished but cannot because cannot see them... is this a bug as I have a whole farm filled with them..:mad:

Make sure you have the ponds selected to show in your preferences (the wrench / spanner.) One of the updates includes the ability to turn them on and off at will and they are no longer simply on all the time. :)

I had a look at your data and you have 2 super neighbors who are able to work them. Please ask them if they have worked your farms.

[DitzyLuvBug2]

I have noticed today when working as a super-neighbor, when I irrigate that it grabs farm and holds it as I move to either go to another farm of click the green man or another tool.

Hi DitzyLuvBug,
Are oyu saying that it grabs the farm and moves it around when you are trying to click to leave farm or that the tool does not drop when you change farms?

[DitzyLuvBug2]

Hi DitzyLuvBug,
Are oyu saying that it grabs the farm and moves it around when you are trying to click to leave farm or that the tool does not drop when you change farms?

Yes I pick up the purple irrigator and choose farm to irrigate and after it sprinkles it grabs the farm and as I move my mouse it carries the farm with it until I click the green man or another tool.

[Taz D]

Hi DitzyLuvBug, try clicking again and see if it will drop it. Could be a mouse setting for locking the hold. I tried it and can't duplicate it.

[Darrell Joe]

The message that says I have reached the new bonus comes up, I click the check box to post, but the posting box is not coming up.

Hi Darrell Joe,

Sorry this has happened to you. Unfortunately there is no way to repost those bonuses now. What i suggest you try is clearing your memcache and see if that fixes it for future posts.

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. Then reload.

[DitzyLuvBug2]

Well Taz...I had to leave early yesterday and it isn't doing it today. Seems to be working fine today. So whatever it was, must have fixed itself after driving me crazy yesterday. Oh well....and so it goes....Have a great day and Thanks for responding!

Earlier today one of my Super Neighbors tried to redesign the farm which I assigned him to do, but when he used my bulldozer to change my fields they all came back instead of eliminating two of the layers as I had intended. So I had to 'doze all the fields myself to be able to re-design. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the upgrade or not...

Observation on highlighting fertilized crops/trees/flowers - for what it's worth. :)

I have worked all 28 farms both ways - highlighted and not highlighted, This included harvesting/plowing/planting crops, harvesting/chopping trees, harvesting flowers, and fishing (although the highlighting doesn't affect how the water features look).

Not highlighted, the colors are unexpected, some way too close to the color of grass, and it seemed to take longer to get the work done. Not to mention my eyes were very tired when I finished.

Highlighted, everything looks like it did before, the work seemed to go much faster, and my eyes weren't suffering at the end.

The one "problem" I noticed is that when things are highlighted, the random lines still show up from time to time. Mostly when chopping trees. This never happened when things were not highlighted. Not an issue for me when compared to the benefits of having things highlighted.

Thanks, as always, to Raul and the devs and moderators for all their hard work. Been playing since the beginning, and still love the game.

[Snookie Sue]

Later this week was, indeed, later this week. Thanks Raul and company for the British restaurant but how have you avoided using Brussels sprouts yet again?!? Thanks for speeding it all up for me - and the expansions vs. a new farm.

[Farmgirl1706]

You guys are getting alot of stuff figured out and thats good. Only thing in this new release was to eliminate the click ok button when watering and fertilizing and its just a floating message only. I still have a window popping up and i have to click ok. Not sure if thats still suppose to happen still. Just letting you know.

Hi Farmgirl,
According to what Raul wrote in this release the removal of the pop up for the manure truck only is for the green manure spreader.
"6. Performance Optimizations and Improvements released during the past 3 weeks:
- After using the manure spreader we now show the feedback message as a floating text instead of the usual message box, so no extra click is required. However this change only applies to those who have the green manure spreader."
I only see the red and orange spreaders in your data.

With so many updates it's hard to keep up with what's been mentioned before, so please bare with me.
Are there any plans on adding the 'brass sheets' to the Long Bulkhead Train Car?? I can't seem to make enough of them even with 5 metal mills.
Thank you so very much for each addition and the wonderful improvements.

Great Job FarmTown staff !

Hi butterflysbaby,

Only the developers know what additions they will make to the game in the future. If you would like to make that a suggestions for the game please place your idea in the suggestions area of the forum.

[Rugged Barbie]

I have a question. When I have the tool box open, I move my pointer over to the tool I want to select. The pointer, instead of going right to the tool I clicked on, stalls and hovers for a moment on each of the other tools my pointer passes over while it gets to the tool I select. This is dreadfully slow and boring. Is anyone else experiencing this? This has been going on for over a week now.

[lynnetimpeiro@msn.com]

OMG -- I just looked at the "Show Farm Names" thing -- it is SUPER FANTASTIC!! Thank you all so much for making this so much easier!! I absolutely LOVE it!! Raul and everyone - you have outdone yourselves!! Woo Hoo!! Again, thank you!!

Can we update the Dan Degrees please....Get tired of planting these crops and they dont go up in Dan Degrees anymore...

Thank you

Can we update the Dan Degrees please....Get tired of planting these crops and they dont go up in Dan Degrees anymore...

Thank you

This would apply to the facilities only of course but I'd like to see the bonus for the next Dan's be bonus products. For the current belts/Dans we start products for free but a bonus to the production would be great and would really help with items we are perpetually short of.

Question: has there been a change in buying decorating stuff? When I "buy multiple" I have to put all bought items one next to each other instead of stacking them onto itself on 1 single spot. That was very easy when buying stuff to gain XP but it does not work anymore!!!
Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hi Palmarina,
To the best of our knowledge nothing was changed regarding that, however with the Flash changes that happened a bit back it is possible that changed.

[Lance75231]

I am experiencing an issue - when going to the market place i do not land anywhere, it just stays there in lala land. the browser i use shows that it is loaded and I am not at the market. I have tried to clear cache and other clearing methods and still nothing

the only way i can load the market is by refreshing farm town and then go and i make it there but the next time I try I can not make it - have to refresh farm town.....

I am just reporting an issue - that is all - you may do with this information as you wish as i am probably the only one experiencing this

if you wanna stack it has to be an item 10k or under

[Palmarina]

Hi, I tried it but it did not work. I tried to "buy multiple" with all kind of items with different prices but in vain. I normally play in Google Chrome and for a test tried it in Mozilla Firefox but ... in vain. It just doesn't work anymore :-(

Im having something similar, my issue is that I can not see anyone at the market, I have to go to a neighbours farm then go to the market. At the moment Im on the awful server 37, the worse of all of them.

I seem to be having problems hiring in that I can only hire for farms with items that are ready to work. I used to be able to hire for all farms at any time!

Hi perryalexander,
You are not supposed to be able to hire for all farms unless you have work ready on all farms.

[dcsully]

I've been waiting to see if someone posts this problem but I haven't seen it yet - on the update farms 1-10 were expanded to 42 x 42 - I only have that option on a few of those farms - not all 10. Anyone else???

Hi dcsully,
If you have moved your farms around with the farm selector manager, then the ones you can upgrade will be in other locations. The upgrades are for 1 - 10 original location farms.

[dcsully]

oh yes I have!!! That is it!!! lol TYSM!!!!!

[perryalexander]

Hi perryalexander,
You are not supposed to be able to hire for all farms unless you have work ready on all farms.

When and WHY did that change occur? Until yesterday or so, I could and did hire friends that way. Trying to remember what is ripe on what is a mind numbing task. Much easier to just hire for ALL jobs on ALL farms - that has worked for years!

[Tiger]

Hi perryalexander,

Taz is not available at the moment.

If you hire for all farms and the farm the worker is going to land on does not have any work on then you will get the message telling you so.

Personally i don't like being hired for all farms when some have no work, so because of that i make sure i don't do it to anyone else.

You can do this by making use of the Show Work Info blue button in the hiring window. All you do is select your jobs as usual and then click the Show Work Info button. All the farms that have work on will have coloured blocks and show a figure for the amount of work to be done there. Select the All button when you see them and it will automatically only select those farms that have work on, then send as usual. Hope that helps :)

[perryalexander]

Thanks both Taz and Tiger, neither of you were on target with your response to my query. Yes, you can still hire for all your farms as you always have been able to do the past. The catch is that you can not qualify your response like leaving out flowers as I did, it must be a full hire for all options. I was able to hire as I always have when I checked all options and all farms. I know this contradicts both your answers but is still works.

[KarlG]

it works, maybe you are not buying the right items

I am sorry but multiple stacking doesn't work. Something changed in the last few days. it makes no difference what item I purchase it still won't stack.

Im trying to harvest some trees on my friends farm, im a super neighbor. I click on the tool, doesnt matter which one, but every item on the farm appears even with the tool clicked. I can't tell what is harvested and what isn't. It used to only show the trees that were ready when I had the tool clicked, now it shows everything. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi vastfanatic:)

Please check your preferences (the wrench) and make sure you have a check mark for Eye icon only toggles between: and then a dot in Hidden and ON. Also when you get a tool make sure to click on the eye till it turns closed.

I am not sure whether my issue is a Farmtown one or a Facebook one. Last night I posted my factories and Services with the "only me" audience because I wanted to send the links to a newbie that I am helping. However it appears that at least 2 Farmtown players worked the Factories and Services as well. Where could the problem be? I have noticed that this also happens if I choose a group as the audience

Hi Farmerwitch,
If you do not uncheck the box in the first pop up, then your posts go onto the Show on FarmTown Wall Requests where all your farmer friends can see it. This was added in November after some chances by Facebook that were causing problems with posting.

I too had this problem and have corrected it. Last month one of the moderators put out a list of url's that need to be in Chrome's privacy setting and a brief instruction on how to do it. I would put it here but it would be lengthy. I then added adblocker extension to chrome to stop popups and the problem came back. I then edited the exception list in adblocker to add the url's and all is good again. Most of the time people don't have the add blocker and the problem can be remedied by editing the privacy setting in Chrome. Hopefully the moderators will see this and relist the url's for you.

[ty_gereye]

Absolutely love the tool switch! saves a lot of time especially on busy large farms and or those farms you are doing every one! However, I am noticing some of our facilities are showing a percentage less than 100% until opened and it says facility is fully loaded. I read through forum and didn't find this reported. I thought it was just mine but others I farm with have the same issue. Thanks! Marsha aka ty_gereye

[ckerider]

Thanks Taz, but I think I have played this game long enough to know that... I keep all statistics... just harvested the 3 farms of soybean which I replanted last night... This time I received a more reasonable amount but I still had to refresh each time for it to reflect in my storage amount... Here is what I got

Started with 47,023 Soybean in Storage

FYI all farms fertilized
6490 plots... harvested... 52,121 in storage... refreshed... 65,101
therefore 6490 gave me 18,078 units in total

7668 plots... harvested... 71,046 in storage... refreshed... 86,382
therefore 7668 gave me 21,281 units in total

4486 plots... harvested... 89,897 in storage... refreshed... 98,867
therefore 4486 gave me 12,485 units in total

3 farms of 18,644 plots gave me 51,844 units versus the 39,832 from last night which makes more sense but still I think the calculation is off or not reliable... If you look carefully at the amounts, after the harvest it doesn't even calculate the full number of plots (ex 6490 + 47,023 = 53,513 versus 52,121)... PLEASE NOTE: each time I had to exit FarmTown and re-enter to get the calculated amounts...

Taz, this is NOT a complaint, it is only an observation that I would like the Devs to know about... Raul always asks for us to report back any unusual happenings so I am letting you know...

Note to Devs...Again, please, please increase production levels for Brass Sheets and Zinc Ore... Thank you, always appreciate what you do to make this game Number One in my eyes...


I am having the same problem... missing a lot of product when they are harvested from people in the marketplace... I have been keeping track of my production for years now and it has NEVER been this bad. Today I missed out on 12,588 or rice alone.. I always could estimate the amount of crops for my planning, but lately I am always out a lot of crops after I calculate my totals for the harvest. This is very frustrating..... and I know about the "no guarantee on the bonus you get", but I don't believe this is not current problem with the game.

Just saying... please try to fix this!

I am noticing issues with crops not being what they seem also seems to be finding that when people work posts you don't always get the product i.e 1 person works your post the facility 100% before after refresh its 80% you refill to 100% second person goes through after refresh no products have been stored in your facilities and the 100% still showing i am noticing lots of this happening lately there was a point where my rice was using 10,000 in 1 fill

In addition This very moment I and a few others are having issues as we cannot post Facilities and clients the Product faster button is pressed then it says loading and flashes off (no button to share) not even showing on the Farmtown wall either (box is not unchecked)

[Clohar]

Hi, just experienced a problem. I started the production in the bank and a window opened stating I was entitler to a bonus for saving bonds or similar item, I didn't took time to read exactly what is was saying but when I clicked on the green arrow to post it that window just closed not allowing me to really post.

I wish FaceBook had a forum like this where people could ride their Arse for screwing up something every two weeks. The FarmTown Dev's should not have to take the brunt for FaceBook screwups

[ckerider]

I have been doing this Farmtown game since 2009. I have spent my 'real' money on the game (I try to limit it to $50 every 3 months). I don't know about the other players, but I do it because I am retired and it gives me something to do when I get up in the morning. Mostly I play it for the points and FT $$$ I get for doing quests, etc. I know a lot of people just want to make their farms look pretty and I admire every farm that I see like that. I was an accountant so therefore I have a spreadsheet for most things in my life. Farmtown is one of them, and this is why I know what I have been getting from this game and what seems to be off now. The crop issue is definitely off for the past two updates. It annoys the heck out of me for some reason... it just does.

I wish the devs would at least tell us what they figure is going wrong. Don't keep saying their is no guarantees in the amount of bonus crops we get when we hire people to do our Harvests. Also, all those 'bonus' products that are supposed to be ours when we post our facilities are a mystery to me because I don't SEE them happening. I guess I have to take their word for it, but I prefer to actually see what I am getting.

I have NEVER spent $200 on a game before and maybe it is time to look for another way to entertain myself. Even Netflix isn't that expensive, so maybe it is time to rethink my entertainment dollars. Just saying!

[Darth Tater]

I fully understand that the problems seem to lie with Facebook but if a strategic partner was interfering with my business enterprise I would be having a heart to heart with them. I am sure FT pays FB a whole bunch of money and should be expecting better service out of them.

[lynjoy]

Farm Town is a game, and a very good game ( The best on Face Book).
But like all games (real or computer) it can be very frustrating.

When that happens, walk away for a few hours, find something else to do, then come back to it.
At the end of the day, however good, it is just a game that will possibly be here long after we stop playing.

Maybe file a report sooner than that? I usually post factories, etc., daily and can't do that now. I probably haven't missed a day in years, which is a little embarrassing to admit. : ) I know this isn't FT's fault and must be a total PIA to them - I'm just suggesting to tell FB about it right away. Can it hurt?

There has no been 3 updates since November 13th--First month cannot send gifts/boost trains---3rd month --cannot post facilities since yesterday. When I contacted FT support about the boosting trains/sending gifts--I was told that FT has contacted FB "twice" about this issue. Now I cannot post facilities---don't you think that it is time to take charge of this issue????
I am not the only person that has had these issues!!! I spent money to contact Microsoft and have them remove IE11 and reinstall it without loosing any of my files. They tell me that this issue is not the problem of IE11.
Any idea where the problem is?????

Hi 3 C Acres,
Yes the problems are with Facebook making changes. The posting facilities appears to be fix, but the IE and Edge problem is still an open ticket with Facebook to fix. I am afraid that Farm Town cannot take charge of a problem generated by Facebook as it is in Facebooks program software where the problem is. There is nothing Farm Town can do to fix it.

I agree. I've been losing harvests for years but it's worse now. For example, I had close to 200k rice in storage, couldn't post facs and servs all day yesterday so no extra was used and found just 12k when I filled and posted facs just once this morning. When ever I contact support they tell me some nonsense that makes no sense to someone that has played this game from the very beginning.
Really wish someone would take a proper look into this and other long time problems before releasing anything else
Love the devs to pieces and don't want to upset any of them though :)

[bjyhey3]

I'm having a problem that I haven't seen before on the forum. I planted peanuts and a few other 12 hr crops around 7am. I've harvested all of them on time but the soybean on farm 19 says they'll be ready in 11.6 hrs. I've memcached, restarted, etc. and it hasn't changed. Can someone look into what I might do? Thank you

Hi bjyhey,
Are you sure you didn't just replant those or have a super neighbor that maybe replanted them? I could see there being a problem if all the 12 hour crops you planted were off, but only 1 farm time being off just doesn't seem to be that there could be a game or computer problem. Check your computer date and time to make sure it hasn't changed.

All is well here with my computer...everything else is working as it should work and I did plant them at the same time as the other 12 hr crops and I don't have a super neighbor. I wasn't even home at the time they would have been planted if that were so and they now say 10.8 hrs until harvest.

Hi bjyhey,
This does not make sense. If the timing was off on your farms then all of those 12 hour crops you planted would be in the same condition. The time for your farms is generated from your computers clock. So it would have to be all farms off on the timing and not just 1. I can't explain it and I have no way to see exactly when your farms were planted. I came to your farm and saw the 10.8 hours.
The only other thing you could do would be to clear the browser cache. Just be aware that the first time you reload your farms may be a little slower loading as it has to dowload all the graphics again. If that doesn't work then the only thing you can do is wait until they are ready tomorrow.

I think I know what happened. I planted soybean on #17 then went to #19 to harvest a crop without changing tools. I planted the soybean thinking I was just harvesting and plowing. I guess dumber things have happened but I doubt it. Thanks for being here for all of us and being so understanding...:D:D:D

posted my facs and noticed that they have taken "farm town" off the lists of people to send the notice to.. (awkward sentence).. anyhow, I had all my FT friends marked "farm town" in a list which no longer exists. Guess they want us to send our posts to "public" which I will not do. Going thru all my friends and putting them into a new list "farmtown only".. What a big mess!!!

Those lists come from facebook. I have just had a look at mine and am still seeing Farm Town listed there. Perhaps there was a temporary problem. If they've made changes to that area, there's nothing we can do about it. Personally i have always used my own lists and not relied on facebook lists.

What do all the letters mean in farm info

F= Fertilized
I= Irrigated
W= Watered
Q= Quest farm
P= Private farm

Mine is still missing this morning. Am I the only one??? Also, if I go to any of my friends' list choices, it is no longer there either.

I'm still missing lots of inventory items every day. In the long long ago, we used to get a warning when our storage numbers were approaching some limit and telling us to sell something. Several times we were notified when that limit was being increased, but I haven't seen one of those notifications in years. Could the missing stuff be caused by having too much crop and item totals in inventory and have things being arbitrarily deleted because we exceeded some storage limit??

Just an idea. Wondering?

Hi Bruhelmboldt,
You might be better off opening a ticket with Support. They can pass it on to the developers to look into this. To contact Support click on the link below, fill out the form and submit it. Be patient as it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for them to respond to you depending on how many tickets they have ahead of yours.

Just had a weird thing happen. I have a farm that is a quest farm. Has 5 of each tree and flower on it and a small plot to plant crops for my quests.

This morning I planted beets and blueberries there. Watered the sunflowers and blueberries before I planted the beets.

The beets wasted....as per usual on my quests...so I plowed and got rid of them. The sunflowers were showing but I could not find the blueberries. So I planted more blueberries and they disappeared also. So I planted more away from the growing sunflowers which I thought were hiding them. And those plots disappeared also.

I reloaded the farm and now they are all back!!! The morning planting and the two I just planted.

Anyone else have this happen??

Hi Jean,
That can happen if the graphic for the crop is not found on your computer. Restarting your farm reloads that graphic so you can see them.

Thanks Taz...it hasn't happened since. I planted cotton this AM for my next quest and it showed up fine. I figured it was a glitch. :)

This might not be the right spot for this, but with bad eyes i need to use caps when eyes are tired. Those in the chat yell at me and tell me i am rude. I have been playing this game for years and one even said maybe i was too old to play. How do i handle that?

Hi Carolann,
If you don't want to see chat messages from that person again then you can Ignore them. When you have the chat open then on the left side of it are two symbols in red. The top one is for ignoring. That will stop you from seeing their chat messages.

tHANK YOU. MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, BUT THIS ONE WAS VICIOUS. IS THERE A RULE ABOUT CAPS?

Hi Carol ann,
There isn't a rule per se, but the common perception of using all caps is that it means you are yelling. This is why people don't like it in the chat, in game messages or forums.

After 2 operations and one more to go, when eyes are tired i have to use them.

Hi Carolann,
Maybe try increasing the zoom on the page to increase the size instead. Just remember to decrease it back before you close it or you may have problems with other things in the game.
