See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on November 7th, 3:00PM.

Hi There,

We just released a new update with the following features and bug fixes: En Espaņol AQUI (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=643294)

1. 25 New Levels: Items are located in the Buildings, Other, Fun, Farm Decor and Motion categories.

2. 48 x 48 farm expansion for Farms 21 to 30: 40000000000 coins or 40 FarmCash. Please note that these expansions are for the *original farms* 21 to 30. If you have moved your farms around using the Farm Selector Manager then you will need to find your original farms from 21 to 30 to expand them. You can not expand a farm just because it is sitting in one of those locations in your Farm Selector.

3. Log Truck with Chainsaw 40 x 40 (FC): This new Log Truck with Chainsaw chop up to 1600 trees in one click.

4. Turbo Fishing Boat 40 x 40 (FC): This new Turbo Fishing Boat fish up to 1600 overlapped water items in one click.

5. Trading Warehouse Improvements released in the past few weeks:

a) Added a notification message when opening the Trading Warehouse of a farmer that do not have offers created yet
b) Added red counters in the top tab buttons with the number of open offers when visiting others Trading Warehouses
c) The brown dot in the Neighbours Bar and the brown marking on avatar labels in the marketplaces are now aware of the availability of Regular Products Purchase Offers
d) Small adjustments to the layout of the offers to make it more clear when you sold and when you bought products
e) Added 'Rules' and 'Benefits' buttons to the Trading Warehouse screen with explanations of all the rules and benefits
f) BugFix: The earned rewards when selling animal products is now based on the trading limit of the animal product you are buying, not the animal product you are selling

6. Pop-up telling you when you can start your next 'Regular Products' trading period: This will include the trading period number that is about to start.

7. Roofing Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Roofing Supplies.

Roof Tiles
Roof Panel
Galvanized Roofing Nails
Vent Pipe Flashing
Shingle Remover
Steel Roller
Cupola
Skylight Dome

8. Austrian Restaurant (Coins): Produces Austrian Food.

Austrian Potato Salad
Sliced Pancake Soup
Wiener Schnitzel
Austrian Boiled Beef
Austrian Goulash
Austrian Roast Pork
Apfelstrudel
Sachertorte

9. Roof Repair Services (FC): Provides Roof Repair Services and can be stocked with products from the Roofing Supplies Factory.

10. Taste of Austria (Coins): Provides Austria Cultural Exchange and Food Tasting Services and can be stocked with products from the Austrian Restaurant.

11. Moving Farmtown Servers to another location: Last month we received a notification from our hosting provider that they had to upgrade the infrastructure of our current data center and that we had to move all of our Farmtown servers to another data center. So far everything goes as planned and we should be completing the move in the next 10 days. In the final moment of the switch we expect about 1 hour to 10 hours of downtime while we migrate the databases.

Enjoy!

--Raul

For those who have not found what has been released, while you wait for full details, at the time of this post, I can see we have:


Pop-up telling you when you can start your next trading period, with the trading period number
25 Levels, 1 FC per level. New top level is 1100
40x40 Log Truck w/chainsaw -up to 1600 trees per click - Farm Cash
40x40 Turbo Fishing Boat - catches all fish in a squared area the size of 100 plowed fields - Farm Cash
Roofing Supplies Factory - Farm Cash
Roof Repair Services - Farm Cash
48x48 Land Upgrades Farms 21 to 30


Remember full details are still to details to be posted by Raul, so this is likely only some of it.

Thanks Raul for the great update. I'm happy with the new stuff again. I found out that the shortcuts for (40x40) Log Truck w / Chainsaw and the Turbo Fishing Boat don't work.

I'm assuming that farms 21-30 are eligible for the 48x48 upgrade since I was able to upgrade all farms EXCEPT farm 25 -- in its place, I was able to upgrade farm 31...but don't know why there's a glitch there...

Hi Zeeky Banutski,

Yes it is Farms 21 to 30.... in their original order, so if you have ever moved your farm order around, that's why your numbers are different.

Hi Geke,

I've just tried this and they went in fine. Give it another go. Make sure when you click on the new tool and then move over to the spot you want to place it in, that a yellow box appears, before you click again to place it.

I'm pretty sure I reversed all the farm moves I did in the past, but maybe I overlooked one...how can I tell what position it SHOULD be in?

NEVERMIND! I found it

-- I'm not sure if I should wish you condolences or congratulations, so I will just wish the developers luck. I am assuming a notice will pop up in place of the game since many farmers are not all that tech savvy and will be confused by a simple "page not found" error. (Or in my case the brain injury will make me forget we were informed ahead of time.)

Anyway, thanks for the notice and for the excellent upgrades as usual.

Hi AngelBear7042,

All that you are going to see is that you won't be able to access the game for the time it takes to complete the server move. The game will still be on Facebook, it's not moving away from Facebook.

No more Trading Warehouse for me since the Avatars will be Tan even if they just have items for Sale in the Buy Regular Products section. I just have no interest in buying or selling. Myself, and you'll find others that are only interested in the Super Facility items. When I click on someone, and all they have are items for sale in the Buy Regular Section, I click off of them, BUT they stay tan, so I end up clicking on them over and over. It's very annoying.:(

Hi Dana,
I think you have a misconception about the Buy Regular Products. They are not selling those to you. Instead they are asking you to sell the amount they are asking for at the price they set to them. So you make coins and possibly additional items if you have one of your own set up for that category and sell to them.

Is there any way to know when this will be? Hubs is a programmer and I know the problems that can happen. I would hate to lose crops if it goes 10hrs., or worse days if it needs to be backed out, or will fields be frozen so to speak. Thanks

Hi Monegobaymom,
There should be a notice above your farms before they do this. Hopefully it will be early enough so we don't plant short term crops.

It is only a minor oversight that the developers apparently missed when they set that up. It doesn't interfere with anything else.

Hi Gail,
Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close that as it is done.
If your farm is open close it. Then reopen and see if it changes how many times you get it.

You said " In the final moment of the switch we expect about 1 hour to 10 hours of downtime while we migrate the databases."

I hope you can give us enough notice so we can plant long day crops and not short hour crops. Am I to assume this 1-10 hr shutdown will be the 31st? Or Nov 1st?

In the past when a notice of impending shut down is posted it has been done after 10 p.m. (my time) to inform me of a shut down to begin at 5 or 6 a.m. (my time). Problem with this is that I go to bed at 9 pm and get up at 5 a.m. so all my advance notice is during the time I am asleep.

Yes, thank you Taz. Guess I am lucky? Not complaining, just wondering why my experience is not matching what the guide says. I have had this happen 4-5 times in the past 7 days, usually around 2100 - 2359 CST. I cleared memcache last night as you suggested and that fixed the popup message from constantly "popping up".

Hi Gail,

I am not sure though you did say it was over a 3 hour period, so you may have created te first close to the end of a trading period and the next at the beginning of the next trading period. Not sure how you got the third one that quick though.

Hi Tom,
We don't know any more than that. As for crops don't plant any short term crops when you know it will be down. Longer term crops won't go to waste that quick.

Hi TerriFlynn :)

It means Eastern Standard Time for U.S.A

The eastern USA is on DAYLIGHT saving time and not standard until about 2am this coming Sunday. 4pm Eastern Standard Time is just over an hour from this writing and at this time it is 1 minute to 4 DAYLIGHT SAVING... And only a couple states never change their clocks. Slashkey's home of Florida is NOT one of them. What the other farmer is asking is whether the announcement meant was EDST since we are still using EDST and not EST except for on trains for another few more days!

And only a couple states never change their clocks. Slashkey's home of Florida is NOT one of them. What the other farmer is asking is whether the announcement meant was EDST since we are still using EDST and not EST except for on trains for another few more days!

Exactly, Qivis!
The time for the maintenance is 4:30 PM EDT. Raul just changed the time back another half hour.

Hi John,
I moved your post to the release thread as thgis is current. You have as much information as we know. There is nothing else we can tell you. How long depends on how quickly the database files can be copied over to the new servers and if there are any problems.

Hi Raul, I am in a panic here. I thought the update was at night and have several 4 hour crops ready to harvest. Will they stay frozen during this process? I do not want to lose them.

Hi Joyinlife,
I am sorry, but the banner with the date and time has been above your farms for several days. No the time will not be frozen. The time to waste though for those crops will be about 6 hours so hopefully they will be ok as long as it doesn't take an extended amount of time to move the database files.

When buying regular products from someone in Trade Warehouse, the popup text show a different product. For example the neighbor advertises (and I buy) yellow roses, the 'bonus' text shows I received a bunch of Zinna. Is this by design?

Hi Moose Mob,
You are not buying the yellow roses, but are selling them to them and as a reward you get some of what you have set in your Buy Regular products that you want to buy. That section is for setting up what you would like to buy and others lick on it to sell those items to you. When they do that then they get a reward of an amount of what they have set up last for that category in their Buy Regular Products.

Raul just posted the following update:


Post Release Updates - November 1st, 12:30AM

- When we released the fix above we introduced another bug that caused the pop-up notification appearing multiple times for the same period continuously every few seconds, we just released a fix for that bug, please report here if you are still seeing multiple popup notifications for the same period.

Hi anne,


I can reassure you that your Farm Cash did not go missing.

On the 29th the day before the move:

you had 40FC after reaching level 837
you then bought Grass with Guidelines for 35 FC
you then went up another level to 838 adding 1 FC
That took your total to 6FC.


On the 30th:
you went up another 2 levels gaining 2 more FC taking your total up to 8FC

On the 1st:
you then bought some FC and spent some of it.


You can check for yourself what Farm Cash you have bought, what you have spent and what you have earned in the game. To see this do the following:

Click on the Account tab at the top of your game screen
Then click on Farm Cash Activity Log
OR as long as you are still logged into Facebook you can just click this link and it will take you to the same place Farm Cash Activity Log (https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/settings2/farm_cash/)

Purchases of Farm Cash and any Farm Cash earned will have a green background.
Those with a pink background are what you have spent in game.

Buy - sell, OK got it. Sometime I just get click happy and hope my friends benefit. But... I have since noticed that these are the 'default' items since I ever setup a purchase request. The only items I need on a regular basis are in the fish category and I am sure that is delayed as the marketing department figures out how to monetize that high demand feature.

Thanksf or the Austrian Restaurant but whre are the dunplings for which Austria is famous especially the apricot and damson dumplings and what on earth is sliced pancake soup. I have never heard of it and have NEVER seen it on any menu in Austria. The boiled beef should have had spinach with it as is n oraml throughout Austria. Austrians dod notknow what parships are and it is impossible to buy parsnips in Austria. The horse raduish looks like a parsnip but it is nothing like a parsnip. Why is coriander needed for a Schweinsbraten (roast pork)?? Did the developers talk with any Austrian people??

Frittatensuppe (sliced pancake soup) is indeed an Austrian dish. Tafelspitz, the boiled beef dish, calls for root vegetables, and parsnips were among them in several recipes. Parsnips are available in Austria, and widely used. Schweinsbraten, the roast pork dish, calls for coriander, although caraway may be used in addition or substituted. I found all this out by doing a few minutes of research, and I suspect the developers did the same.

Hi Dana :)

The developers are still working in the option for "Create Purchase Offer Fish" in the Trading Warehouse which will allow you to create an offer to buy fish.

Hi don :)

When developers add dans for facilities, they are for coins and farm cash facilities.

They usually do this for several facilities at the same time, so we have to wait for the next time they decide to add them. :)
