See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on May 6th, 5:30PM.

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=645998)

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

2. New Farm 41 and the first 4 expansions:

3. Boost others trains inside your Train Manager: You can now boost others farmers trains inside the Train Manager instead of going to the 'My Request' tab.

Post Release Updates - April 18th, 12:10AM

- BugFix: In the Train Manager, sometimes expired boost requests were not removed from the list.

- When receiving a boost request from a friend who is not your neighbour, you will now see her facebook name and picture, the same way it was showing in the My Request tab.

- All Plowers and Multiplanters can now plant fields and plants at the edge of the farm even when the whole green square does not fit completely inside the farm. This will be useful when you upgrade your farms, you now can use a much bigger tool to plow/plant the edge of the farm you just expanded.

Post Release Updates - April 19th, 11:40PM

- Bugfix: Train Boost Requests sent from individual trains on a farm not appearing in the Train Manager boost tab.

Post Release Updates - April 28th, 1:00AM

- Released 25 new levels, items located in the Buildings, Other, Farm Decor, Fun, Motion, and Trees categories in the Store.

Post Release Updates - April 28th, 4:40PM

- Improvements in the Train Manager:

a) Facebook names are now shown correctly when boosting trains inside the Train Manager

b) Pending boost requests inside the Train Manager and in the My Request tab are now kept more in sync, this will minimize the amount of trains in the My Request tab that cannot be boosted. This will keep improving in the next few days.

- Improvements in the Facility Chains Manager:

a) In the Export Screen, neighbours that you cannot export products to for any reason are always shown at the end of the list

b) Added 2 sort options to the Export Screen (By Name and By Neighbour Import Capacity), the latter one is the default sorting, so when you open that screen the neighbours at the top are the ones that you can export the most products to

c) When you Export products to a neighbour the screen does not auto scroll to the top

d) The Export and Import Screen are now rendered a bit faster

Post Release Updates - May 1st, 1:20AM

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

- Added 'Imports First' and 'Exports First' sorting options in the 'My Chains' tab in the Facility Manager.

- There is a red counter in the Train Manager icon in the tool box showing how many trains waiting to be boosted you have in your Train Manager. This counter is updated approximately every 10 minutes as you work your farms.

Post Release Updates - May 6th, 5:30PM

- There is a new filter in the market selling screen to filter products based on the quantity stored, this will make it easy to sell products in bulk for those products that you have a lot of.

- Added 'Sell 10% of All' and 'Sell 33% of All' options to the market selling screen

- There is a new 'Zip' button in the storage screen to convert all your large and gift boxes into regular boxes. When converting large to regular boxes you will also get the corresponding difference in coins. Your storage capacity may increase based on the amount of boxes converted.

- You can now use the Train Manager when you are not at your farms

- When mouse over product images in your Trading Warehouse or when visiting others Trading Warehouses a tooltip will show your stored amount for that product

Known Issues:

- None.

Hi,

Hope all are well!

The facilities on 3 of my farms are not showing up, under "Show Facility Information"!

I suppose it's just a temporary glitch, but wanted you all to know about it.

Thanks for working to give us another update! :)

Hi Raenie,
Do you see them in your facility manager?


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 check again.

I had Service Facilities on those farms, and all I can see are the animal facilities and the bank!

Can't see them in the manager either.

Have done "memcache" also.

I recently move some of my farms around. Could that have something to do with it?

It's late, I'm turning in for the night. Maybe tomorrow things will look better!!? ;)

[Aussie Rae]

like that we may be able to boost trains via the train manager... at the moment its not working for me... tried.. said nothing to boost when I had 4 trains waiting in my requests... hopefully it will in a few hours... not too worried as its not a big deal... just as easy to do them the old way when accepting gifts :)
UPDATE.... WORKING NOW..... HAPPY FARMING EVERYONE...

Hi Raenie,
It could have something to do with how many facilities of any type you have on those farms. If you hover over those farms in the Show Facility Info, you should see a percentage amount of facilities. If it is close to 100% then you may have too many on that farm. That would prevent them from showing in the facility manager. The limit is between 300 - 400 depending on how many products you have completed in all those facilities. If that is the case then try going to the farm and open some to cash out from in the facility. Then see if those show back up in the facility manager.

thanks Taz, wondering if we will get a notification the same way we get one for the ships.... that would seem the sensible thing to do... will wait and see.. so far its no big deal doing train boosts the old way... happy for anything new in farmtown.. :)

[sestree]

One new ingredient in the semi-truck - tripe.

Oh Joy (from one who knows exactly what tripe is --- snicker giggle and drop the garden hose thankyou)

I found that one when I had like 9 notifications of new belts :) Hey I'm happy about the new farm....and I won't eat the tripe.

Thanks Raul. I love the weatherstation!
Please stay safe!

[Tiger]

Thanks very much Raul and also to all your team. :D

I very much appreciate that you've been able to give us another release on time for my favourite game during such difficult times. It's certainly helped keep me entertained during the lock down here! Even if you had not been able to, this game is so versatile you can remodel farms at any time you like and change your game play as you like or need to.

Wishing you all continued good heath and staying safe.

[Rob T]

Thank You Raul and the team!

The Easter section of the store is gone and there are designers doing Easter Farms now ~ tkz so much

I had them all neatly spread out across farms. Now they are missing from (26.30.31.)

I hope this link works to the screenshot that I posted on my FB page?!

I noticed that as well but a friend sent me a boost request this morning and it showed in my Train Manager so maybe the ones that were already there didn't move over but any new ones will show up

[Paul Duds]

Hi Rainie,
Are the facilities missing when you look on those farms? You said you have moved your farms around recently, so did you move those farms up to a different location?
If the facilities are missing on the farms, you will need to contact Support about that as we can't do refunds through the forums. If they are not missing on the farms then try what I asked you to do in my last answer. If that doesn't work try moving a couple to storage click save, then close and reopen your farms, then move them back to the farm and check facility manager to see if they show up.

[Raenie]

OK, I've contacted them. Thanks for your help! :)

Ta

I'm not a mod but he means your farm grid at the top of the game, click on SHOW NAMES, go to bottom click on SHOW FACILITY INFO. It shows how many facilities you have on each farm & there is a blue line, hover over that & it tells the percentage.

[Alexm2012]

as always Raul and ALL the team at slashkey providing another amazing release i got myself the 4 new facs. and in love with the way we now boost trains thanks for still continuing to make this game as amazing as it is during a global pandemic and keeping us entertained 7 days per week i take my hat off to ALL of you credit where credit is due.

[WillowTreeFarm]

Thank you Raul & team for the update. Hope you all are healthy & safe.

Hi Clohar,
It is in the Farm Selector/SHow Names.

[Dan H]

Great release! Thank you Raul and Developers!!

[TWGranny]

Thanks Raul !

I do have an odd question: the new farming tools - are they the extant mode? or just regular?

[Taz D]

Thanks Raul !

Hi TWGranny,
They are neither as they are for planting a specific amount of trees or flowers grouped together. They do not do crops.

[mirwin]

In the train manager, many of my boosts are showing as "unknown" as far as who sent them. How will I know who to return them to then??

[kidwboro]

God bless you all :) I love the multi-planter increases!
And also, thank you for previous increases and innovations as well.

Hi mirwin,
Raul will be fixing this issue. Watch here for his fix in the top post.

[rodneycs]

why cannot you group ypur numbers in groups of three with a comma between the groups of three as is normal?? Your number for a new farm is impossible to read without the commas.

[macwinter]

Another great update, thank you.

[linda315]

3. Boost others trains inside your Train Manager: You can now boost others farmers trains inside the Train Manager instead of going to the 'My Request' tab. This is now the recommended way to boost trains as it is more efficient, for example, it will not show you boost request for trains that have already returned to their farms or trains that can not accept any more boosting.

Yahooo!!!! Thank You, Thank you, Thank You Developers!!!!! This is the best improvement ever!!! I have been asking for something like this for years. What a time saver this will be. I missed out on so many train boostings because they were lost on my seemingly endless list of gift requests. I am connected to several thousand players and a neighbor to most of them so you can imagine the number of gifts I get in one day. :-)

Thanks again!!!
Linda

Hello TAZ.

I can see the facilities (new from today's new update) on my farms but they do not appear in my "Facility Manager"... this is a problem. Lots of items missing means loss of $/F$/FC.. any and assistance would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Hi Brook,
Try using the search in the facility manager and look for them that way. If you still can't find them then do the following.

Place the new facilities in your storage, click save, close and reopen your farms, then place them back on the farms. If they still do not show in your facility manager try starting some production in them from the farm and then check facility manager again.

[WyoSugar]

Thanks for the new update :)

[NJones277]

As well as the "Unknown" that the devs are working on, I've got a couple of expired requests that won't go away. Been there since this morning.

Great release. Hope we get a "load all" like we have on the ships (eventually). :)

[Moose Mob]

Awesome weather stuff!
Since I was a Weather Forecaster (now retired), I was wondering when/if we will get one.

But... why not mercury for the thermometers?
And old hydrometers used horsehair.

Hi NJones,
In the train manager or in your my requests? If they are in your my requests go to the games activity in your Facebook home page and click on ignore there. Here is the link to that:

On item #3, the majority of all the trains are being marked as expired I do not understand why, I've been checking them mregularly.

Hi Perico,

[Grumpy Old Man 1]

Thanks for the updates!

[CareTerr]

I love the posting others' trains from the icon, especially with not having to deal with "sorry" trains; but . . . I cannot use it because I want to know who sent the trains, whose train I am boosting. There are unknowns, nicknames, and first names as identification. I would like to have names available like on the default list we use to send out our own boost requests. Thanks

Hi CareTerr,
The developers are going to fix the unknowns as those are friends who are not your neighbors. You will not see the complete name. You didn't have the last names even in the My Requests. And the train manager is going to be the only way you will be able to boost their trains as they will not show in the My Requests any more.

Hi houston maverick,
If you wish to make a suggestion please post it in the Suggestions section where we organize them by subject for the developers to view. You can not start a new thread there, but you can reply to one that fits your suggestion.

[rodneycs]

Is the new red bulldozer like the pink bulldozer or like the red and green bulldozer? As I use both the pink and the red and green bulldozer multiple times per day, some explanation would have been helpful.

[Tiger]

Hi rodneys,

The Red and Green one is the Bulldozer Ex (8x8).

The red Bulldozer (16x16) is not an Ex bulldozer so it's a bigger version of the pink Bulldozer (12x12)

[Dana1971]

We Really need a Notification when a Train comes into our Train Manager to be Boosted for someone..otherwise we have no way of knowing. Something like it is with the Ships..you get numbers.

[JNelson]

I know Easter is over but can u put it back in store til end of month? since they were out so late many have not had time to finish their designs. please and thank you --- not have to do the gifts ones but the store ones please

Seems to be a glitch that some trains i boost do not clear from train mgr

Hi Warlock,
The developers are working on fixing this.
Are you getting an Expired message when you try to boost those? Have you tried clearing them in the My Requests or do you not see them in My Requests?

[Perico429]

[QUOTE=Taz D;6352798]Hi Perico,
I'll add that to the emails for the developers to look at too.

Would it be possible to add the count like the ship manager?

About your expired train boosts, have you tried clearing those in the My Requests tab?

[Greatgig]

I'm still getting trains in my gifts as well as some in my train manager. Anyone else experiencing this?

[marymarcel]

I'm still getting trains in my gifts as well as some in my train manager. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi Greatgig :)

That is right, you can see the boost requests in both places, My Requests tab and the Train Manager.

Anyway it is better to boost your friends trains from the Train Manager as it should not show you boost request for trains that have already returned to their farms or trains that can not accept any more boosting.

Also remember, if you boost your friends trains from the Train Manager and you also have the My Requests tab open you will need to refresh that tab for it to update and clear the train requests in there.

[FrankDieter]

New update and goodies are much appreciated, but...

"Hi Farmer, all the bugs in the new version of the Chrome browser are now resolved, including gifting, boosting trains and posting facilities."

Why are we STILL seeing this when sending gifts; it's been posted for over a fortnight, and a little superfluous, especially for those of us wot don't use Chrome!

Could the Devs be so kind and remove it please?

Thanks, so much! :)

[amanda1955]

I am getting a lot of unknown in the new train bar, plus some that had expired that dont disappear

[marymarcel]

I am getting a lot of unknown in the new train bar, plus some that had expired that dont disappear

Hi amanda1955 :)

The developers are working on these problems.

About the trains expired, are they also showing up as expired in My Requests Tab? If so, do they go away from My Requests when you refresh that tab?

[amanda1955]

no the ones in the requests are my neighbors and have Pic but the ones in the other dont have a pic or name, I still get rewards for most, though, just intrigued. I do get the odd one with the pic, but most unknown . I did delete a lot of people who had not played for years though but they wouldn't be sending ships am sure.. I do love the new thing for the trains and do expect bugs on new items of course, this is my favourite game

[marymarcel]

The unknown are your friends who play but are not your neighbors, or the ones you are neighbor for but they are not neighbor for you.

But we need more information for the Expired trains.

Those expired trains in the Train Manager are also showing up as Expired in My Requests tab when you click in them?

If they show up as Expired in My Requests, when you refresh the tab, are they back to the list for you to click again, or they just go away?

[amanda1955]

the expired one also doesnt have pics either as unknown it might clear eventually but it did come up since been on but in saying that, had another one before and that one cleared and yes that one was still there in the bar and still is but might, just did that had one that had a pic since but the other is stuck, just might be one of those things will see how it goes for rest of the day,

Hi Amanda,
Do you still have one stuck right now that you got the expired message for?
If you do go to the My Requests tab and see if it is showing there. If it is please click on it to accept. Then go back to the train manager and see if it is still there.
We are trying to get information for the developers to be able to fix these problems.

[amanda1955]

yes just reloaded it twice is still there

[Taz D]

yes just reloaded it twice is still there
Hi Amanda,
Thank you. We will pass this on to the developers.

[amanda1955]

just that one, not a huge problem unless a lot get stuck, but hasn't so far , thanks for your help...just gone back on, it has cleared

[Taz D]

Raul just added the following:

Post Release Updates - April 18th, 12:10AM

- BugFix: In the Train Manager, sometimes expired boost requests were not removed from the list.

- When receiving a boost request from a friend who is not your neighbour, you will now see her facebook name and picture, the same way it was showing in the My Request tab.

- All Plowers and Multiplanters can now plant fields and plants at the edge of the farm even when the whole green square does not fit completely inside the farm. This will be useful when you upgrade your farms, you now can use a much bigger tool to plow/plant the edge of the farm you just expanded.

[amanda1955]

it is working really well now and it is handy to be able to see the faces, thank you

[CareTerr]

I am so disappointed that you are taking boost requests off the request page. The new method does not allow for identification of all those who sent train requests. You told me the "unknowns" are non-neighbors. Why? My non-neighbors are just as important to me as the neighbors. Both first and last names are listed on the boost selection list. This is the identifying information I need to continue with the trains as part of my game. Nicknames of 200 people is not something I have memorized and non-neighbors without any identification is not acceptable to me. Thank you

Hi CareTerr,

The issue of non neighbours pictures and first names not showing in the Train Manager has been fixed, are you not seeing them? Are you seeing avatar names rather than first names?

I don't think there is enough room in the box to list the full name in the Train Manager so that may be why only the first name shows. If you still don't like it you can still boost trains from the My Requests page, that has not been removed, your friends train boosts only get removed from there when you boost them via the Train Manager.

[Qivis]

I saw the bug fix for the train manager tab for accelerating the trains of others, but it is still buggy. I just ended up exchanging a page full of gifts for eggs, left a bunch of trains not boosted, and then when I went to the train manager only 1 person's train was listed. When I went back to the My Requests tab the train was gone that I had used the manager to boost as it should be. But I was expecting the others to all read that the trains were already 1 day ahead. Instead I got 6 more trains that gave me goodies and only 2 were already a day ahead or had returned to their farmers. Do we need to clear our FT cache for the bug fixes to work?

Hi Qivis

Raul fixed some issues with the Train Manager some hours ago. Maybe those trains were sent while the issues were being fixed.

Please check the Train Manager and My Requests tab during the day and if you get the same problems, post here again.

[mindyj5]

You all are awesome! The last few updates with the train manager, the boosting and now the plowing improvement have made this game so much better! I especially love not having to change plows to plow a farm, I can plow the whole thing with the biggest plow. I do a lot of plowing for neighbors so this is the best improvement of them all, thanks so much!

[Qivis]

Well, I just emptied my Train manager again and found more train boosts available in the My Requests tab just as I have continued to all day. A friend trusted me with her sign in credentials for Facebook since she did not use her account anymore. And her account was having the same trouble in another browser. I have tried changing to 3 different browsers, deleting cookies, clearing the FT cache, but every time there are too many train requests in the My Requests tab still there to have just been sent in 2 minutes.

Hi Qivis,
We are seeing some boosts in the My Requests too after having boosted all showing in the train manager. We are still checking on this. We will pass our findings on to the developers.

Thanks for letting me know. I read through things rather quickly and came back to see if I missed something. I am replowing a few farms and not having to select smaller plows to fit on them and wanted to see if I missed anything. After all, you may remember I had a stroke a number of years ago and have to be sure of the brain damage! :D

[Alexm2012]

hi Devs, just wanting to second most of the above comments train boosts are leaving the my request tab after boosting them via the "my train boosts" in game. i've cleared all my data and checked again and its continuing to happen. Thanks.

I hope they are staying well and safe during this world wide pandemic too! This is after all just a game and they should be working from home if they are not able to keep safe at the Slashkey offices.

Raul just added the following:


Post Release Updates - April 19th, 11:40PM

- Bugfix: Train Boost Requests sent from individual trains on a farm not appearing in the Train Manager boost tab.

[Dana1971]

I still have Trains appearing in my Request Tab and Not in the Train Manager.

[Tiger]

I still have Trains appearing in my Request Tab and Not in the Train Manager.

Hi Dana,

Could any of those you saw in My Requests have been sent prior to the fix being released? If you're not sure please see if you can clear out all the train requests and see if any new ones show up only in My Requests.

If you know they were sent after the fix, please ask the friends whose request was only in My Requests if they boosted from the train on the farm or via the Train Manager.

[Dana1971]

Yes I have had them just this morning show in both places. Kinda annoying having to check both places.

[Tiger]

Yes I have had them just this morning show in both places. Kinda annoying having to check both places.

Hi Dana,

They are supposed to show in both places so you can use either method.

The only ones that don't show in the Train Manager that you need to clear from My Requests are ones that are already boosted. Is it those you are not seeing in the train manager? If it's those I am not sure what the devs will be able to do about those, we will have to see what they say.

[Qivis]

Yes I have had them just this morning show in both places. Kinda annoying having to check both places.

They are still appearing mostly in the My Requests tab even though the Train Manager shows none for me too! Unfortunately I know that mine came since the supposed fix too since I emptied both last night before going ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.

[Greatgig]

I seem to be getting far more train requests in my request tab than the actual train manager. I empty the train manager first and then open my "my requests/gifts" to find a lot more. Very frustrating.

Hi Greatgig,
The developers are still working to perfect this. Please be patient while they get it worked out.

[Palmarina]

Hello, a few minutes ago I checked my train manager. No trains to boost. I opened the "My Requests" tab en there was 1 train to boost.:confused:

[Sonytone]

Thank you, Raul!! Stay Well and Be Safe!!

[NJones277]

I'm still getting expired requests in my train manager. One has been there since yesterday and another one showed up this morning.

Hi NJones,

[mattie van tonder]

1. 25 New Levels (coming next week) 15 April
Today is 27 April - or did you mean next year, just asking

[dofford]

This Upgrade is a very useful one for sure. "- All Plowers and Multiplanters can now plant fields and plants at the edge of the farm even when the whole green square does not fit completely inside the farm. This will be useful when you upgrade your farms, you now can use a much bigger tool to plow/plant the edge of the farm you just expanded."
Thanks so very much for this upgrade. It will make the upgrades so much easier. Thanks again for this.

What/Where is the Facility Chains Manager?

Hi Dana,

The Facility Chains Manager is in the far left column in your toolbox, it looks like this:

http://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameguide/Facility%20Chains/facility chain manager.png

Facility Chains were released October 2017.

You do need neighbors for this. Full details are in the Game Guide Chapter 33 - Facility Chains (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=632506)

[sassy cat]

Thank you for the new levels and new facilities :) Please Stay Safe.:)

[marymarcel]

Hi all :)

From Raul notes for the New Release:

Post Release Updates - April 28th, 4:40PM

- Improvements in the Train Manager:

a) Facebook names are now shown correctly when boosting trains inside the Train Manager

b) Pending boost requests inside the Train Manager and in the My Request tab are now kept more in sync, this will minimize the amount of trains in the My Request tab that cannot be boosted. This will keep improving in the next few days.

- Improvements in the Facility Chains Manager:

a) In the Export Screen, neighbours that you cannot export products to for any reason are always shown at the end of the list

b) Added 2 sort options to the Export Screen (By Name and By Neighbour Import Capacity), the latter one is the default sorting, so when you open that screen the neighbours at the top are the ones that you can export the most products to

c) When you Export products to a neighbour the screen does not auto scroll to the top

d) The Export and Import Screen are now rendered a bit faster

[TexasStar]

Thanks for the great release! I found the enhancements to the Facility Chain Manager a big help!

[barbaraelwart]

Just wanted to say a HUGE Thank You for the changes to the Facility Chains Manager. I have not used for a long while because it was so slow and also annoying how the page would auto scroll back to top all the time. This is now sorted - I gave it a try and it is Super Fast now. I shall use it now as you have made it easy.

Once again, Thank You :)

[peekachoo]

Thank you so much, the Facility Chains Manager works so much better now ( although I would prefer to be able to import all ). Stay safe everyone.

Improvements in the Facility Chains Manager

finally somethnig is done there too
many people not play any more that because of taking to much time
great !!!

[Qivis]

The improvements to the Chain Facilities are appreciated, but the speed improvements do not appear to be working for everyone. I pointed them out to a farming friend who is very good about using new features when they appear because she had stopped using the feature. She used the Chain Facilities Manager this morning but said it took her 15 minutes. As a divorced medical administrator with 2 teenage or pre-teen boys that is still a long time for her.

Also, for myself many exported items would appear for one person and I would export but then when going back to the Manager's main screen the facilities in question would still have a green button even though I had sent to everyone listed as eligible to receive. And then a different friend would appear to be ready to receive items and for some facilities I had to go back and send to a 2nd or 3rd or even 4th person instead of all of them appearing the first time! And the 2nd time would not show the 3rd or 4th recipient nor the 3rd time show the 4th.

Still, I appreciate the fact that improvements are made every day that we may not even know about. Chances are Raul and his team are working feverishly to get another platform ready for the game before Adobe officially discontinues support for Flash Player, but more than 1 person is asking that they take a month or so off of offering updates and work on producing an HTML or other platform based game instead of waiting for December. Not me, but my friends are asking why we are still on a platform with security issues.

Hi Qivis,
Since we don't have a time frame for how long it took that player to do the facility chains prior to the recent change then there is no way to determine if it is working or not. The only thing this change did was to move the ones who could accept export products were moved to the top of the list which prevents having to keep scrolling down to find them.


As far as having to go back in to export to additional neighbors it is possible thay had just imported as you were exporting to others. That is the only way they would show up just after you had finished exporting for that facility chain.


The developers are working on the transferring of the game to html5 as quickly as they can. That is not being worked on by the ones who continue providing the monthly releases, so there is no reason to stop those as they are not slowing down the process of moving the game.

The overall speed of the facility chains manager is improved since it no longer seems to require a refresh of the game before it runs at a reasonable speed.

As I have indicated many of my friends do not use the forum and since they know I am disabled ask me to check up on things for them with all the time on my hands. So I will pass the HTML5 information on... and thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

thanks for the Mothers Day gifts, :)

[Tiger]

For those that have not noticed yet :)

Post Release Updates - May 1st, 1:20AM

- Added 'Imports First' and 'Exports First' sorting options in the 'My Chains' tab in the Facility Manager.

- There is a red counter in the Train Manager icon in the tool box showing how many trains waiting to be boosted you have in your Train Manager. This counter is updated approximately every 10 minutes as you work your farms.

[RoseArienh]

I'm loving the drive-by celebration cars! Nicely done.

[Tiger]

Post Release Updates - May 6th, 5:30PM

- There is a new filter in the market selling screen to filter products based on the quantity stored, this will make it easy to sell products in bulk for those products that you have a lot of.

- Added 'Sell 10% of All' and 'Sell 33% of All' options to the market selling screen

- There is a new 'Zip' button in the storage screen to convert all your large and gift boxes into regular boxes. When converting large to regular boxes you will also get the corresponding difference in coins. Your storage capacity may increase based on the amount of boxes converted.

- You can now use the Train Manager when you are not at your farms

- When mouse over product images in your Trading Warehouse or when visiting others Trading Warehouses a tooltip will show your stored amount for that product

[Aussie Rae]

ZIP is wonderful, thank you!!

[RichmondGuy]

Zip is selling Gift fuel cans, not converting them to regular fuel cans. So it's not working properly.

Hi RichmondGuy,
I just tested this and it converted mine to regular fuel tanks. I see you have 528 fuel tanks in your gift box. As the Zip only acts on items in your storage those in the gift box would not be converted from gift to regular.

[RichmondGuy]

I'll move them from gift box to storage and Zip again, and give you the results.

[RichmondGuy]

And just like that, it's working now, where it wasn't earlier. Thanks.

disappointed that we get shortchanged when using ZIP that gifted items, eg MILK don't all make it to the new total. Have only checked this today but guessing its been happening since ZIP was introduced... 88 gifted milk just vanished into cyber space.. from just this mornings usage... I have used this continually since its inception so guessing a lot of gifted products have also gone the same route... ( I did write down the amounts before using ZIP )

Hi Aussie Rae,
I have just tried this with cow milk and did not lose any. I had 258,552 regular and 800 gift. When I did the Zip my cow milk went to a total of 259,352 whick is correct.
