New Release -- April 22nd, 2019

[Raul]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on May 4th, 12:40AM.

Hi There,

We just released a new update with the following features and bug fixes: En Español AQUI (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=640998)

1. 25 new levels: Check for new items in the 'Buildings', 'Farm Decor', 'Ponds', 'Motion', 'Furniture', 'Fun' and 'Other' categories in the store.

2. Next 7 expansions for Farm 39, see prices below:

34x34 - 39500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
36x36 - 40000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
38x38 - 41500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
40x40 - 42000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
42x42 - 42500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
44x44 - 43000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
46x46 - 43500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash

3. Better rewards when loading ships arriving at your port: After you finish loading a ship, your total rewards will be:

a) X% of ( 100,000 coins * Number of containers in the ship )

PLUS

b) X% of the total products loaded in the ship at the first port of its itinerary

The X% has 2 components: Your level rank *AND* How many hours the ship was waiting on your port

The first component (A) goes from 5 to 1:
A = 5 if you are on the top 20% of the levels else
A = 4 if you are on the top 40% of the levels else
A = 3 if you are on the top 60% of the levels else
A = 2 if you are on the top 80% of the levels else
A = 1 if you are on the bottom 20% of the levels

The second component (B) goes from 20 to 1:
B = 20 if the ship was waiting less than 1 hour else
B = 19 if the ship was waiting less than 2 hours else
...
...
B = 2 if the ship was waiting less than 19 hours else
B = 1 if the ship was waiting more than 19 hours

Once A and B are computed then X = A * B, so X goes from 100% to 1%.

For example, if you are at level 1000 ( A = 5 ) and you loaded a ship with 10 containers that arrived 90 minutes ago to your port ( B = 19 ), then X = 5 * 19 = 95%

Your total rewards for loading the 10 containers on that ship will be:

a) 95% of ( 100,000 coins * 10 containers ) = 95% of 1,000,000 = 950,000 coins in rewards

b) The amount of products loaded on all 10 containers in the first port is about 4600, therefore, 95% of 4600 = 4370 products in rewards

In a future release we will introduce lifelines for ships which will allow you to unstuck some of your ships that have been stuck on a port for more than H hours.

4. Belts and Dans for next 10 facilities: Upholstery Supplies Factory, House Construction Supplies, Taiwanese Restaurant, Cobbler Supplies Factory, Food Container Factory, Venezuelan Restaurant, Tanning Supplies Factory, Bottle Factory, Train Supplies Factory and House of Pancakes.

5. Continued the development of the 'Trading Warehouse' feature: We are still deciding on the details but check the general idea below:

a) Will allow farmers to trade offline by visiting the Trading Warehouses of other farmers at any time
b) Create Buy Offers for products you want to buy
c) Create Sell Offers for products you want to sell
d) Offers will be created similar to the way that Online Offers are currently created
e) Other farmers Trading Warehouses can be accessed through the neighbour bar, by visiting a farm or by clicking on an avatar
f) Offers can be created for most primary products and also Super Facility products
g) Each product category will have it's own buying/selling limit restriction per day
h) There is a limited amount of Offer Slots that can be active for each product category at any given time, these are provided for free
i) Extra Offer Slots can be purchased for Farm Cash
j) ***New*** The Mayor will offer extra product rewards to those farmers that sell products to others, we think this extra benefit will encourage more farmers to trade with each other and will also add more value to the Farm Cash Business Clothes.

6. Jackfruit Tree: Currently it has no use in facilities, we will create a use for it in future releases.

7. Dill Crop: Used in the Iranian Restaurant.

8. Taste of The Netherlands (Coins): Provides Netherlands Cultural Exchange and Food Tasting Services and can be stocked with products from the Dutch Restaurant.

9. Food Art Caterer (FC): Produces Food Art.

Flowering Poodle
Apple Bites
Veggie Owl
Fruity Peacock
Fruity Monkey
Fruity Bird
Chicken Pesto Caterpillar
Sunny Pancakes

10. Food Art Show (FC): Provides Food Art Presentation Services and can be stocked with products from the Food Art Caterer.

11. Taste of Malaysia (FC): Provides Malaysia Cultural Exchange and Food Tasting Services and can be stocked with products from the Malaysian Restaurant.

12. Iranian Restaurant (Coins): Produces Iranian Food.

Persian Herb Omelette
Tahdig Rice Crust
Lamb Chickpea Soup

Persian Herb Stew
Mince Meat Kebab
Persian Ice Cream

New products from other facilities: Rose Water from the Flavored Water Factory. The new Dill crop is also used in this restaurant.

Enjoy!

I've got new levels and cash, thanks to you Raul and the team that work so hard to keep the game running :)

[meirwen59@aol.com]

In the Food Art Caterer there is a problem with the purple grapes, I have over 400,000 in store but says I need to add more , go to ingredients for Fruit Monkey and the purple grape notification is incomplete

[marymarcel]

Thanks a lot Raul! :)

[lizzard]

I am having the same issue,, I have tons of purple grapes and its saying I have none,, same with chicken,, says I have none but I also have tons of that,, won't let me load to 100 percent because of it. Thanks for any help you may give! :)

[Dutch85]

Thank you Raul! Love it!

[WillowTreeFarm]

Thank you for the new goodies!

[Taz D]

Email sent about missing items for the Food Art Caterer. Please wait until developers can fix those items

[sizzlinsssandi]

Everytime we have an update seems our bonuses go crazy. Got notice of 39 bonuses and of course can't use them only 5 in 12 hrs. Can this be fixed? We work hard to gain the bonuses and then can't use them. Doesn't seem fair to farmers in my opinion. Thanks.

[Lara]

1am in Aus and I managed to stumble across the upgrade when my levels jumped while I was filling up facilities before closing the game. Hmmmmmmm might be up later than I thought having a bit of a look see. Thanks Raul and crew

[JAXDAW]

Seems like demand calculation in planner is in error for purple grapes. Says I need them however i have 230,505 in inventory.

[annalienjvr]

When I want to load new facilities I have a message I don't have any Purple grapes or Chicken and I have from both over 600,000 Is this a bug or just a regular mishap ??? :eek::confused:

Thanks guys and girls. Took notice of the same problem. I just wait it out, know this will be fixed asap. You're great and it's a great game. Love it.

[lindafe]

I can't load several items in new facility because it claims I don't have enough chicken and purple grapes yet I have plenty in my inventory

[Tiger]

Thanks Raul and Team! :D

[Palmarina]

Thanks for the extra FC! I didn't expect it LOL, woohoo!
Same problem here with purple grapes. I'll wait until all is fixed :-)

[Momma Woods]

I was told I needed more purple grapes when I have 337,335 in storage????
Thanks for the upgrade Raul and crew.

[Taz D]

Thanks Taz. Mine is loading fine now

[JudyD1651]

Thanks for the new items to use in our farm designing such as the new rock wall, blacksmith shop, new buildings, etc. Too many farm cash facilities, some new farm cash tools would have been nice.

[BarbLH]

Thanks, Raul & team, for the updates :)

[JaggerMister]

This close to US tax day, it should be 1040. (just a joke folks)

[Sonytone]

Awesome thank you all!!!!

[NJones277]

Not getting the coin amount on loaded ships. It stays at 100,000. Getting product, but the coin feature needs to be looked at.

Hi NJones,
We will test this and see if we can duplicate it.
Please list your OS, Browser and Flash Player version.

[Aneida]

Thank you :)

Hi NJones,
I tested this and I got my coins and products for loading the ship. I saw it go up by 10,000 for each container filled. Checked my total coins before and after which showed they did go up 100,000. I am on Windows 7, using Firefox with the latest version of Flash.

[storm36]

Thank you for the new items but i do have an issue with a part of the "better rewards" for ships .. particularly "The second component (B) goes from 20 to 1:
B = 20 if the ship was waiting less than 1 hour else
B = 19 if the ship was waiting less than 2 hours else
...
...
B = 2 if the ship was waiting less than 19 hours else
B = 1 if the ship was waiting more than 19 hours"

This seems like it punishes those of us who have lives outside of farm town, that cant send ships out as soon as they arrive or more than 1 - 2x per day .. for myself, i work a 40+ hr job Mon-Sat, ( its road construction season which is just starting to ramp up for us) I don't have access to a computer, tablet or mobile device during working hours which can be 10+ hrs per day so my neighbors ships can sit in my port for 11+ hrs until i get home to send them on which means, according to this new improvement, i will be hard pressed to gain a top reward from loading my neighbors ships .. with all the FC facilities that come out every month i personally would rather see some kind of FC reward, more than 1 or 2 FC like with the quests, than more coins for loading neighbors containers.

[krisafur]

Thank for all your hard work on keeping the game going. It is appreciated. When you add new items to a category is it not possible to flag them? Highlight them in pink like when you've worked someones facilities? No one person can remember what was in the categories let alone try and find what's new.

Hi krisafur :)

Thanks for adding #3 concerning the ships. The most I've received so far is 100,000 coins and 4.669 products for preparing a neighbor's ship. I am a member of a Cargo ship group and we have organized/coordinated our ships and farm time so that we all sail our ships the same time each evening. :) Happy sailing!

We have send a message to the developers asking for clarification on this.

Thanks, Raul! Love the new Ships incentives! Thanks so much.

Post Release Updates - April 23rd, 12:40PM

- Bugfix: Incorrect amount of coins rewards when loading ships.


Be sure you close and reopen your farms to get the new release with this fix.

[JudyD1651]

We have send a message to the developers asking for clarification on this.

Now it's showing 1 million coins, same amount of products. :)

[Taz D]

Hi JudyD,
The products were correct. Only the coins were not calculating correctly which they fixed.

I don't feel that it punishes those of us who work and can't send ships out immediately since we aren't losing anything we already had plus we do get a few products that we weren't getting before.

I realize there isn't a use for jackfruit at the moment, but I'm looking ahead to when there is -- I harvested my jackfruit trees this morning, but the harvest does not appear in my storage. Anyone else have this happen? When I hover over the jackfruit tree in the store, it tells me that I need 144 more to reach the orange belt, but zero in storage -- so I'm getting credit for the harvest, but no actual product to either store or sell. Words of wisdom, anyone? :confused:

Hi Begonia Wildwind :)

I just harvested them and they are showing in my storage as Jackfruit.

Please reload your farms and check your storage again and set it to From Trees.

If you still dont see the stored items, did you sell your non ingredients or non ingredients (for me) ? If so, then you probably sold the harvests as they still dont have use in the game. If you want to keep them stored, then in a future harvest, remove the check mark for them in Non Ingredients and Non Ingredients (for me) options. To do this you need to go to Marketplace.

Nice!! You are very welcome Begonia and thanks for coming back to let us know :)

287 BILLION coins to buy the last upgrades of land. Don't you find this to be an extreme cost. Even real land doesn't cost this. It is a greedy amount as far as I am concerned.

[JudyD1651]

Concerning the Jack Fruit tree...if it's not used in any facility and you plant it, harvest it, store it up then go to the market to sell non ingredients...won't it be sold too?

[Taz D]

Hi JudyD,
If you use the filter for Non-ingredients for me and the sell selected that will only sell what you have checked for sale. That way you can select what non-ingredients you want to sell and which you don't.

When ever any of your selected non-ingredients become ingredients then they are automatically unchecked and removed from the non-ingredients list. So it pays to go through and check the ones you want to sell and use the Sell Selected rather than the Sell All.

[Snookie Sue]

The new ship incentives seem to be helping a bit. Mine are moving a little faster and hopefully will move even faster in the future. Thanks - an excellent idea. :)

[mareface]

Ship incentives - full ship unload - claims 4,000 plus products for all products, yet my crude oil only got 2 points. Is there an issue here?? Thanks.

Hi mareface,
You only get a percentage of the items that were loaded into their ship at it's first port. The first port has the least amount of products loaded. The maximum you can get is around 4600 products, which is a portion of all 10 containers, so some of the items that don't carry a great amount you won't get much of.

[mareface]

Thank you Taz - realize only a portion, but 2 out of 4,669 is an insult - LOL thanks again

[Grumpdad]

well it is certainly next month���� but is it next week yet ������???

Hi farmers :)

From Raul's notes for the New Release:

Post Release Updates - May 1st, 8:00PM

- Released 7 new Mothers Day items, 1 as gift, 3 at the top of the Mothers Day category at the store and 3 at the bottom.

[vonalm]

in the release dated April 22nd, 2019 it stated that the coin facilities would be released next week....
since tomorrow is the 3rd of May and the last day of "next" week, can we count on them being released tomorrow?
thank you

Hi Vonalm,
We do not get advanced information when anything is released. You will just have to keep checking here to see if they are released. There could be something else they are having to work on that may slowdown when they can release anything.

Raul has posted the following:


Post Release Updates - May 4th, 12:40AM

- Released the Iranian Restaurant and Taste of Iran facilities. Also released a new Dill crop.


Details about these are in the first post of this thread.

[Aussie Rae]

ty for the new crop, ingredient and facilities, :)

[mareface]

YAY - thank you

[bjyhey3]

Thank You...nice surprise

[laditz]

I been collecting the recipe with dill from my wall but it is not going into my storage, only 24 went in from 100's I collected.

[WingmanFarm]

Thanks for the new Dill crop. Badly needed a new higher level crop..put out more.:D

[Tiger]

I been collecting the recipe with dill from my wall but it is not going into my storage, only 24 went in from 100's I collected.

Hi laditz,

I have just tested this and the dill is making it to storage fine for me. You get 12 dill per ingredient of Persian Herb Omelette accepted (one per batch and there are 12 batches per request). Open your storage and look for the dill and make an note of how many you have. Then store just one ingredient of Persian Herb Omelette and check your storage again and see if it went up by 12. If it did not, reload and check again.

When you send that ingredient to a friend you get half, so only 6 when you send ingredients.

[jeannine_p]

thanks so very much for releasing the memorial day items!!

[dorissau]

And one of those is a "cementery".. are you talking about the concrete headstone? Ha

[crafty chris]
