Hi FCM,
You will have to ask Facebook about that.

the links have been super long like that for about a week or so. lovely facebook changes.

It may have something to do with how Facebook fixed the problems with the posts. For a few days the majority of us could not post facility help and ingredient requests. They fixed the problem with Farm Town, but some other games are still having similar issues. Since this is not a Facebook forum though, very few of us would know for certain. :D

I had a problem when I received a gift from someone in the Neighbourhood Chain contest. The pop up menu saying who had sent it to me faded out but left a faint shadow and I could not click on the farm behind it. I solved that by restarting. I cant test it again unless someone sends me a thank you gift in the NC contests. (EDIT - my Ingredient Planner is working fine now)

The latest test version is still leaving large numbers of animals behind on our farms when using the Tower Crane to store them and reducing the number remaining by as little as 2. I only know it's still an issue - which I thought had been addressed several versions ago -because I forgot to add hundreds of peacocks back when the bowler hat and other feather items were introduced. Since part of the reason for the newer versions is speed, this also should be taken care of to reduce the number of wandering animals that need to be loaded.

Hi Qivis,
As far as I know the Tower Crane will only pick up 250 at a time. It will pick up less if the animals are stacked on top of each other as it can only see the top animal in the stack. For that reason you have to store them then refresh the farm and store the next batch they can see.

It seems I have had to refresh even I can see that there are 6 pheasant on the farm, the Tower Crane says it has stored all 6, and then it asks if I really want to store all 4 when I've refreshed and tried again. In the case of one of my farms I had to refresh so many times that even though I bought less than 150 pheasant to begin with and my storage was already emptied into the shed, by the time I finished I had over 400 in storage! I thought this had been corrected months ago, but it's still happening in this test version. :eek:

Hi Qivis,
They never intended to change the stacking ability for the animals. And because of the stacking that is why the Tower Crane is not getting all of them at the same time.

I do hope you are talking about peacocks, because we don't have pheasant.

They were not stacked is my whole point! As for the pheasant v peacock thing, I guess my fingers were working faster than my brain since I obviously meant the latter. (Or maybe I have pheasant on the brain because I have eaten too much of the domestic variety we call "chicken" the last few days.) But 150 animals should not translate into 400+ unless somehow only male birds have learned to reproduce! :p After all, the female is called a peahen.

Hi all :)

From Raul notes for the New Release:

Post-Release Updates - July 24th, 6:00PM

- Released another batch of optimizations and improvements including:

a) Farms with lots of water items load and operate much faster, even when overlapped

b) Farms full of plow fields or harvested fields load faster, even when overlapped

c) Decreased farm blinking when farming very quickly. When clicking and moving the mouse quickly while farming, sometimes the game detected those actions as dragging. We made some adjustments to minimize those accidental dragging operations. This also caused a noticeably increase in speed when farming.

d) This was an old bug, sometimes when you reloaded or navigated to a farm, the new farm appeared shifted to the top, and then finally moved down, causing a weird visual effect.

e) BugFix: Sometimes the single harvest tool was not working correctly when a tree or flower was planted on top of a crop field.

f) Improved farm dragging operation on big farms with lot of items, sometimes when you were dragging quickly, the farm didn't move as much as it was supposed to and you were forced to do multiple drag attempts.

My hubby & I are having display issues since the update tonight. I'm trying to chop & harvest trees and most of the trees are missing their tree tops (they are cut off at the edge of the farm). My hubby tried to fish & only the tips of the water is showing.

[max_river]

I just noticed the trees are messed up. my trees at the ends of the farm are missing the top of trees and top is gone weird

Hi WillowTreeFarm and Max River,
We are looking into this. Give us a little bit to research it.

[WillowTreeFarm]

Sorry Taz, I was typing when you posted your response.

[Taz D]

We are contacting the developers about the things being chopped off on the edge of the farms. Hopefully they will quickly find the trouble. Please be patient while we wait for them to find and fix this.

[Taz D]

Harvesting with a friend now. He said my farms were cut off. They looked fine to me but now I am doing his and the entire top of the farm is cut off. Stuff harvests ok....it's just partially gone. Like pine trees look already harvested.

Stuff near the edge is cut off. The stuff is not placed over the edge.
Hi Jean,

[Jean's Farm]

I have a friend I harvest with a couple times a week. We do each others farms and chat.

He noticed on mine first that it looked like the top of the farm was cut off. He said it looked like my buildings were chopped in half. They looked fine to me.

When we started his farms it looked like what he said at mine. The top part was cut off......half of the buildings were gone and the pine trees looked like they had already been chopped.

I accidentally kicked myself out and when I got back and he rehired me everything was fine and stayed that way.

Just wondered if anyone else had that happen.

Hi Jean,
I already answered you above your second post about this. The developers have already been contacted about this. It does seem to come and go.

[Docperk]

Thanks Taz, glad to hear they are working on it.

[jeannine_p]

loving how fast layered fishing is going!!! well done!!!

[jeannine_p]

um,,,, k, the display issue is weird tho, it chopped off the tops of my cute buildings....

[Farmer_Susan]

I'm having the chopped off effect, too. I couldn't harvest or chop trees because all I could see were the trunks - couldn't tell what was what. It happened in full screen mode and may be triggered by dragging because when I first went to full screen, it was fine, but after I had been working for awhile, I noticed that everything had been cropped. It's on both top and left, in other words, nothing can stick over either of those edges.

Sorry - was a new page so I didn't see that others have reported this. I'll leave mine in case it has any new clues in it but it's also fine to delete it.

Sorry, Taz. I had deleted my first post about this as I wrote it while we were still harvesting. I wanted to revise it so I deleted it and did not see that you had already answered it. Thanks!!! :)

Post-Release Updates - July 25th, 5:00PM

- BugFix: Items on the top sides of the farm sometimes appeared chopped off.

I checked this on my farms and neighbors farms and seems to be good now. Remember to reload FarmTown to get the fix.

[jeannine_p]

love the new menu added to farm stats, we can now look for growing, ready, and now WASTED!!! awesome!!!

[WillowTreeFarm]

Thanks for the fix, farms are back to normal.

I cleared memcache and browsers this morning - Harvesting worked perfectly today until a few moments ago. Now the display issue (when harvesting) is back - the top sides were cut off on one of the farms.

Hi Dan,
I just checked and tried several farms and could not duplicate it. Only thing I can suggest is to try clearing your memcache again.

Are we about for a update now and when will we have the new release?

Hi Cornish Lil Princess,
Only the developers know and they don't tell us until the release has happened.
