Harvester Ex 10x10

Expansions for Farms 31 to 40 in their original order.

Arrows at the bottom of neighbours warehouses so you can go from one to the other like you do with co-operative quests.
When viewing other farmers co-operative Quests. There is a Message icon at the bottom left of the cooperative quest window that allows you to send them a message. Also a blue dice to the bottom right of the window which allows you to view your own quests.

Thanks for the update.

[justmecookin]

Thank you Raul

[StoneFace]

Thanks Raul..... Happy Thanksgiving

Bless you and your staff for all you do

[Moose Mob]

Just a little frustrating...
Go through and buy all the tools... harvesters, seeders, combines of multiples sizes... only to find that I cannot fully use them until next month when the REST of the set comes out!

Why do I do this to myself?

[sod farmer]

Issue seeing the combine I bought. I got the harvester and it shows - bought the combine placed it next to the harvester and I cannot see the combine. Reloaded and still cannot see it. The combine no longer shows as an un-owned tool in the store. It did take my FC.
Link to farm I placed them - http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=1494159521&farm_ix=8

[craftywoman29]

Thank you! Any idea when belts will be added to the next facilities? Seems like a long time since that's happened. :)

[JudyD1651]

I really like this..thank you.

[Eradani]

i really like the idea of <- prev / next -> at the marketplace for super facilities and co-op quests but i think it needs a little tweaking.

it used to be the super facility always started on Buy Super Products and now it remembers what you were on last. personal preference maybe, but i like it when it always started on the Buy tab

for co-op quests, it's really hard to find a starter sometimes so you click on 29837 people anyways. another color? lol hope not. but it would be nice to have an indicator of who had co-op quests - maybe a pink nose :D

for both of these two functions, maybe wrap-a-round would help to prevent a lot of clicking to get back to where you started to go the other direction

[Bandida Nina]

Thank you, as always! I suspected a release was in process when I noticed changes to the Coop Quests late last night. It was also the first time one of my neighbors mentioned they had a Quest expire while it was in production. I agreed with them. I have never had one expire if it was put into production before the expiration time. I cut it close quite often, especially if it contains hard to get ingredients my neighbors may need. Looking forward to all of the new "stuff".

Hi sod farmer,

I went to your farm and I can see that they are both there. The combine is quite close to the line of lumber cars sitting on top of gravel paths. Can you see the harvester or neither of them?

As you are unable to see it please try clearing your FT memcache. 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. Please also clear your browser caches, close browser, then reload. After doing this the first time your farms are loaded, they will load slightly slower as all the graphics need to be loaded from a fresh start. The check that farm again for both of the tools.

[sod farmer]

Hi Tiger,
I can see them both now. Thank you for your prompt reply.

[Tiger]

Hi Tiger,
I can see them both now. Thank you for your prompt reply.

That's great sod farmer, you're welcome, thank you for coming back to let us know :)

[Momma Woods]

Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game, details coming sometime later today.

4 new Facilities coming in 1 - 2 days.

Please report here any issues you may find in the mean time.

Thanks

Thank you Raul for keeping us busy <3

New tools not working from the git go

[BarbLH]

Thank you for the update :)

New tools not working from the git go

Hi mareface :)

Can you describe which problems you are having with the tools? Problems are for both of them, the Harvester EX 10x10 and the Combine Harvest/Plow EX 10x10 ?

Is this happening on your farms or when you work for others?

[harrywhitmore@comcast.net]

STILL WAITING FOR NEW CROPS:confused:

[beverduster]

thanks buddy

[bjyhey3]

Message envelope for your neighbor and an opportunity to "Open My Cooperative Quests" on each page as you go through your cooperative quests. Very helpful...Thank You

[petals]

I bought both the harvest-plow 10x10 and the harvest sow planter. the harvest-plow-planter doesn't show in my toolbox or my storage. I cleaned the cache. but it didn't help. Paid good money for this tool. I put it on farm 36 and then moved it to storage

[Qivis]

Flash Player stopped loading after the update when trying to work factory posts. And yes, I already cleared my Farming Cache and all pages from the Flash Player settings page. I was hoping to be thankful for HTML 5 this Thanksgiving! Anyway, I am guessing the timing was coincidental, but wanted the moderators to know in case anyone else has the same crash of the game.

Hi petals :)

You purchased the Harvester EX 10x0 and the Combine Harvest/Plow EX 10x10, both tools are placed in your storage.

If you want to check this by yourself, please click in Account tab above the game screen and then click in Farm Cash Activity Log button and you will see all purchases/transactions for farmcash.

The Seeder EX 10x10 and the Combine Harvest/Plant EX 10x10 have not been released yet.

[petals]

Thanks for the info :)

[marymarcel]

Thanks for the info :)

You are very welcome petals :)

[Palmarina]

Thank you for the browse buttons. I asked for it :-) yoohoo thank you

[TwylahSkye]

Any ETA on when fish will be available for trade in the Regular Products section of the Trading Warehouse? I was hoping for that in this update!

[mareface]

Thank you for your response - all of the above - it will auto to the tools, but it does not go to the seeds. They will only harvest.

[Taz D]

Thank you for your response - all of the above - it will auto to the tools, but it does not go to the seeds. They will only harvest.
Hi mareface,
It will not seed because what you bought was the Combine Harvest/Plow. Neither the Seeder or the Combine Harvest/Plow/Plant have been released yet. Those will not come out until the next release.

[mareface]

Thanks - kinda screwy - do not remember ever purchasing anything that had no real function since June 5, 2009 - what is happening here? Just saying. Thanks again.

Hi mareface,

All the tools for working on crops are never released at the same time, usually it's been the Harvester and the Combine harvest plow first and then the following month the seeder and the Combine harvest-plant.

When new tools are released we tend to only get them 2 at a time.

[Tom C]

I thought we were to get details on this new release later in the day, its a whole new day where are the details?

Hi Tom C,

We do not know what the delay is but it's has taken longer than this for details to come. Its early morning for them at this time so perhaps we will get them a little later on.

[WillowTreeFarm]

Oh, Ha Ha Ha!!!

[Dana1971]

Anyone know if we're going to get the purchase offer for Fish in the Trade Market with this release?

[cgsfarm]

Just bought 4 new facilities.

[mareface]

Is there somewhere to just ask general questions? Back in the day, there were 2 places to access the wall postings. The one we have now is so limited to accessible postings with so many people now. Then there are the inconsiderate ones that post the same thing 4 or 5 times knocking out the balance. Thanks.

[WillowTreeFarm]

; Then there are the inconsiderate ones that post the same thing 4 or 5 times knocking out the balance. Thanks. I just want to mention that most of the time when there are 2 or more postings of the same factory, it is a long time glitch in the game. I used to get frustrated when I saw the extra postings too then it happened to me and I realized it's a glitch in the game.

[mareface]

Sorry you missed the gist of the question. What happened to the other access page?

[Taz D]

Anyone know if we're going to get the purchase offer for Fish in the Trade Market with this release?
Hi Dana,
Only the developers know when the Fish offer will be completed and available and they do not tell us prior to the release of anything.

Hi mareface,
The only way you have ever been able to access the postings is through the wall requests in the My Requests tab and through your Facebook newsfeed or by going to the individual players Timeline. There have never been any other way to do see those. The wall requests was only created when Facebook started limiting how many and what posts you were allowed to see in your newsfeed.

[Dan H]

Thank you, Raul, for the nice update. The new facilities are great!

[Betty Underdahl]

Thanks so much for the updates :-)

[sassy cat]

Thank you for the new goodies.

"d) Hide expired quests when navigating Cooperative Quests"

Has this been implemented yet? If so, how do we do it?

Hi MaryinVA :)

That means when you are navigating and checking your neighbors coop quests, you will not see their expired quests if they have any.

[Gertrude's Dude Ranch]

t would be so great to go up 100 levels in December!

WE WOULD ALL HELP COME UP WITH NAMES FOR THE FARMS!

[Tiger]

t would be so great to go up 100 levels in December!

I'm sorry Gertrude, but that's very unlikely to happen. Also the names for levels stopped after level 500, I doubt we really want to be finding names for all the rest of them, never mind new levels :eek: You can if you wish make a suggestion for it in the Suggestions area, here's the link to that section of the forum: http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2

There have never been any other way to do see those. The wall requests was only created when Facebook started limiting how many and what posts you were allowed to see in your newsfeed.

I made a friends' list of only farm town players. Now when I'm ready to work posts, I don't have to go down Facebook's news feed searching for posts

[JAXDAW]

Not sure if this is the right place... I hear adobe is sun setting flash? What's the plan moving forward?

[Joyinlife]

What is the Farm Selector Manager?

[Taz D]

What is the Farm Selector Manager?
Hi Joyinlife,
The Farm Selector is the drop down in the upper right area of your farm you use to go from one farm to another. The Farm Selector Manager is in your Tool Box and looks just like the Farm Selector. It allows you to reorder your farms the way you want them.

[Dana1971]

What happened to us getting the Fish Purchase offer in the Trading Warehouse??

Yes, that was on the 22nd....8 days ago today. I always thought a "few" days was 3 or 4....

[imgowan]

My trophy scores seem to be off.

[Taz D]

My trophy scores seem to be off.
Hi imgowan,

They did release a fix for some of the amounts, like your neighbor numbers, but don't know if the other numbers will be recoverable.

[WyoSugar]

I was happy to see the fish in the warehouse was enabled....but it only let me buy 4. Is this correct?

[Taz D]

Hi WyoSugar,
The limit is determined by how many of each fish you can produce from your waters. This is in the Rules in the Trading Warehouse and also listed in the Game Guide chapter about trading:
"Trading limits are calculated based on your farms production capacity, so if you can generate a yield of 500,000 crops from your farms your trading limit for crops will be 1% of 500,000 = 5,000 crops. If you can generate a yield of 400 salmons from your waters your trading limit for salmon will be 1% of 400 = 4 salmons."

Thanks Taz, I was about to ask how it was worked out and you have saved me from doing so.

[KLSiegel320]

Thanks for fixing the gate! One small remaining oddness - when I place it beside fields, part of it goes behind the fields. Not a big deal - just a thing to know. It makes me wish there were a "bring to front" command like in PhotoShop...which there is not.

[bruhelmboldt]

Has anyone else noticed that upgrading Farm39 costs an extra 3B coins. (I didn't notice on Farm40, which I did out of order.)

[Taz D]

Hi Bruhelmboldt,
If you check the Game Guide chpter about Land Upgrades, it is actually only 500,000 above the 46 x 46 upgrade for those 2 farms. To have made it the same as the others it would have been a lower price than the previous upgrades for those 2 farms.

[Tiger]
