New Release -- August 7th, 2020

[Raul]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on August 18th, 3:40PM.

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=647506)

1. New Farm 42 and the first 4 expansions:

New Farm (12x12) --- 43000000000 or 50 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 14x14 - 43500000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 16x16 - 44000000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 18x18 - 44500000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 20x20 - 45000000000 or 20 FarmCash

2. Increased the availability of Salmon and Trout by 20%: The Sturgeon can no longer be catch in the Big Lake with Boat, this will effectively increase by 20% the availability of Salmon and Trout in the Big Lake with Boat.

3. Option to add up to 4 more shortcut spots: Counting from left to right in your neighbour bar, the 7th and 8th neighbour spots can now be replaced by 2 or 4 shortcut spots. In the shortcut screen click any of the 4 brown arrows to the left of the shortcut area to select how many neighbour spots you want to convert to shortcut spots.

4. Help note in co-op quest tabs: When checking the co-op quests of other farmers, any quest that has a product inside that you can help with will also have a help note on the quest tab.

5. Changes to the send gift screen: The layout of the send gift screen was changed to minimize the negative side effects of Facebook changes in this area.

6. Set all farms to the same crop option in the Super Neighbour Manager: For this use the dropdown arrow at the center-bottom of the Super Neighbour Manager screen.

7. Other minor improvements:

b) Added a 'Mute In This Session' option to the avatar menu so you can temporarily mute a farmer in the marketplace
a) The Flower Stand service facility can now be stocked with the Paradise Poppy Pot and the Hyacinth Marigold Pot produced in the Flower Shop

8. Other minor bug fixes:

a) In the market screen, sometimes the 'Harvest Products' section was empty
b) In the market screen, sometimes the 'Non-Ingredient for me' sort option was not working correctly
c) In the market screen, sometimes the 'Producing Facility' sort option was not showing up
d) In the market screen, sometimes the category dropdown could not be changed to another category
e) After searching for a facility in the Facility Manager and scrolling back to the top, sometimes random facilities were showing up at the very top of the list

9. Improvement to the Ship log book section (released 3 weeks ago): The log book section is now showing a green dot for each neighbour that is currently online, this can help you when deciding which neighbours to include in the ship itinerary and on which order.

10. Offshore Oil Rig (FC): This is a new facility that produces 3 times more Crude Oil Barrels than the current Oil Pump. This works similar to the Red Windmill and the Stone Windmill facilities, the Stone Windmill has 3 times more output than the Red Windmill.

Note 1: This facility is located in the Facility category in the Store. To make things more uniform we also moved the old Oil Pump from the Tools category to the Facilities category in the Store.

Note 2: This facility and the Oil Pump can be placed on the same farm and both be producing at the same time.

11. New Reed Crop: This crop is used in the Cheese Making Supplies Factory.

12. New Achiote Tree: The Achiote Pods that you harvest from this tree are used to produce the Ground Annatto Seeds in the Spice Factory.

13. Artisan Cheese Factory (FC): Produces Artisan Cheese.

Parmesan
Mozzarella
Gorgonzola
Cheddar
Manchego
Goat Brie
Gruyere
Spiced Gouda

New Products from other Facilities: Starter Culture and Rennet in the Semi-Trailer Truck. Ground Annatto Seeds in the Spice Factory.

14. Cheese Making Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Cheese Making Supplies.

Cheesecloth
Measuring Spoon Set
Reed Cheese Mat
Cheese Wax
Cheese Mold
Cheese Press
Cheese Trier
Cheese Cutter

New Products from other Facilities: Ground Annatto Seeds in the Spice Factory.

15. Artisan Cheese Store (FC): Provides Artisan Cheese Retail Services and can be stocked with products from the Artisan Cheese Factory.

16. Cheese-Butter Crafters World (Coins): Provides Cheese and Butter Tools Retail Services and can be stocked with products from the Cheese Making Supplies Factory and Butter Making Supplies Factory.

Enjoy!

[Sqrl]

I knew as soon as I 7th danned all the trees there'd be a new tree! dagnabbit!

[Aussie Rae]

thanks for all the new stuff, :)

[Taz D]

In case anyone is wondering the new Achiote tree is in gifts and used in the Spice Factory.

[WendyP57]

thanks for the update, now to get all new factories and trees and farm 42 in order :)

[BarbLH]

Thanks for the update, Raul & team!

[cocosfarm]

PLEASE there must be a way to buy achiote tree!! Please let us buy them or I will never catch up on needed products

[goldendreamer]

Do you chop the new tree?

[tharcicia]

thanks Raul :)

[GoalieAunt]

Do you chop the new tree?

It's a 1 day shaken tree.

[Aussie Rae]

you can get heaps of the product if you are smart and use your Trade Warehouse, Regular Products section.... :) both the tree fruit and the new crop.

[JAS0643]

New crop is a 2 hour crop it is easy to get tons of it in no time.

[Early Girl]

Thanks for the update. The purple hand is not working correctly with the new off-shore oil rig. It won't let me place it on top of crops or off to the side between 1st and 2nd. Only place (off to the side) working for me is "home base". Other than that - LOVE the update :-)

[Qivis]

Do you chop the new tree?

Chopped trees are ready to chop immediately, but to answer your question it is a shaken tree that produces a fruit used in the spice factory. Although it may or may not be something other than a fruit if it is for making spices, the game calls everything shaken from the trees a fruit since the majority of things are. :D

[Farmer_Susan]

you can get heaps of the product if you are smart and use your Trade Warehouse, Regular Products section.... :) both the tree fruit and the new crop.

Can we choose which products we trade? When the Trade Warehouse first came out, I didn't have the mental bandwidth to figure it out so I've never done it. But I thought they assigned stuff to us each day or week or however often?

[tina7447]

That is true what yo said but you can also add products to buy and sell things you need.

[Aussie Rae]

Susan, use the Regular Products section, I check my storage for each section in there, crops, tree fruits, fish, flowers, tree logs, animal products.. pick the one I have a shortage of and then enter that as the one I want to buy with the price I am willing to pay, once some one sells that to you or even before then, when you sell any thing other than that which you want to buy, you get rewarded with extra.. for instance I am always hunting for squid so I wanted to buy squid, I bought 76 for 15200 coins and now when I sell any other fish to some one else I get 154 squid back ( I do own all the Advertising Banners) I bought 44208 Reed.. and get Reed when I sell any other crop, bought 17434 Achiote Pods and get them when I sell any other tree fruits ... visiting the Trade Market pays off, :) you can change these at set times during the day or leave them there for weeks..

Thanks for the explantion! It does sound cool.

[enelyaa]

:)Thanks for the update and the new stuff. So good to have new tree and seed! As a wholesome Rat I am thrilled with all the cheese facilities.:)

[jbowles824]

In case anyone was curious, it allowed me to place the new oil rig on farms that had the pump already on it. Thank for the new update.

[kperry7411]

So much to do, so little time (I'm back at work) LOL. Thanks for the goodies!!!!!

[harrywhitmore@comcast.net]

Thank you very much. I needed the new stuff.

[Whoopsidaisy]

[L.A.Bob]

[Alexm2012]

[Zeeky Banutski]

Would you be interested in "schooling" me on the Facility Chains Manager, My Super Facility & the Trading Warehouse? I've read & re-read the "instructions" provided with each release (I've even copied all components from various releases into a single document for each so that I could study them), but alas - I just can't seem to get my arms around what I need to do to conquer these features. I've been to the forum's "social" section & asked for help, but no one has responded...I'd really like to implement these features...

I've been at FarmTown for over 10 years & have managed to conquer everything but these three items - for some odd reason, they continue to baffle me...

Hi Jeanettes,
You can't see the details for the release, because Raul has not posted them yet.

[Sonytone]

thank you for all the goodies, Raul and Team!! Awesome Sauce!!
Stay Well!!

[Stu3]

anyone else noticed the oil pump has gone off the farm it use to show when the checkbox for tools was selected

[Taz D]

Hi Stu,
The oil pump has been moved to the facilities section, so it only shows on the farm when you have Show Facilities checked.

[Cherry's Farm]

Thanks so much for the update and the details.

[aceyducey]

If I add a new shortcut, will I lose that neighbor?

[Taz D]

If I add a new shortcut, will I lose that neighbor?
Hi Aceyducey,
No you will not lose that neighbor. You will just have less spots for your neighbors to show in the neighbor bar. If you use 1 spot for shortcuts then your neighbor bar will only show 7 neighbors instead of 8. If you use both spots for shortcuts then your neighbor bar will only show 6 neighbors at a time.

[koalawoman]

Just WOW! You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for all you do.

Thanks for the update

[guess who]

I only have one question?What is this Reed we are growing?? Cheese air drying mats are made from a bamboo.They are only called Cheese Reed mats due to the fact the bamboo type is from young slender shoots.

[qrice]

Yes I wish ft would make it so we could buy these trees...

[Palmarina]

3. Option to add up to 4 more shortcut spots: Counting from left to right in your neighbour bar, the 7th and 8th neighbour spots can now be replaced by 2 or 4 shortcut spots. In the shortcut screen click any of the 4 brown arrows to the left of the shortcut area to select how many neighbour spots you want to convert to shortcut spots.

Can someone please tell me where I can find the "shortcut screen" and the "brown arrows"? I just can't find them, sorry.

Hi Palmarina,

http://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameguide/preferences/shortcuts icon.PNG Look in the preference bar top right of the game screen for the icon that looks like a curved arrow and click on it, that is where you set and change shortcuts. The brown arrows to add more shortcut spaces are at the bottom of that window where the neighbours bar normally shows.

If you would like more detailed instructions than what shows in that window, you will find them in the Game Guide Chapter 3 Shortcut Icon detailed information (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6303490#post6303490)

Not able to get there - something is amiss...would you PM me an email address so we can discuss? I can't even perform the 1st step you mentioned "...set the filter for Regular Facilities to Super Facilities..."

Thanks!

[marymarcel]

also Fresh Water bait is back in the list of missing ingredients when I know i have more then enough

Hi RomanticSoul :)

According to your data you have 10,041 freshwater baits.

Please remember that you need 15,000 of each kind of bait to fill your Fishing Tackle shop for a full run (15 days) to 100%

[Palmarina]

Got it! :)
Thank you very much Tiger! :)

[marymarcel]

over 30,000 actually hadn't emptied my facilities yet


By the time I checked you only had 10,041 now data shows 31,041 freshwater bait so you should have enough to fill your Fishing Tackle shop which only needs 15,000 baits of each one for a full run (15 days) at 100%

[RomanticSoul]

have a lot more if i didnt have to use gifts to get those new trees. taking forever.

[marymarcel]

Please take in mind that baits go to your waters so you can get 2 fish instead of one while fishing.

You have lot of lakes so you need lot of freshwater baits to fill all of them when you unload your Fish farming plants.

Still looking for some assistance...

I must have missed something - but what is the new purple dot next to some neighbors pics?

Hi Early Girl,
You haven't missed anything. This is something new and the developers haven't said what it is for yet.

[Early Girl]

Thanks Taz! It's been driving me crazy. Have a good day

[sod farmer]

The purple dot appears to show which neighbors have YOU set as their superneighbor.

[Grumpdad]

The red dot does that, why would you need two different coloured ones to show the same thing?

[marymarcel]

Hi Grumpdad :)

The red dot shows you who are your superneighbors.

Anyway we have to wait for Raul details about the new dot.

[marymarcel]

Hi all :)

From Raul notes for the New Release:

Post Release Updates - August 13th, 11:00AM

- When farmer X accepts a neighbour request from farmer Y, we added that action to the user actions at the bottom of the game for farmer Y

- When farmer X sets neighbour Y as a Super Neighbour, we added that action to the user actions at the bottom of the game for farmer Y

- Added a new purple dot in the neighbour bar to mark those neighbours that have set you as their Super Neighbour

- When sorting your neighbours by Super Neighbours, first we show those you have set as Super Neighbours (red dot) and then those that have set you as Super Neighbour (purple dot)

- Bugfix: When changing the category in the market screen sometimes the total coin value at the top was not updated

Not sure what the benefits of this are? How many super neighbours can we have? Is this dictated by some mathematical calculation as some other things in FT are?

Are you saying the purple dot is an indication of a mutual super neighbour?
In other words if a person sets you as a super neighbour and they do the same a purple dot is shown?

Many thanks

Hi RozeeS :)

Neighbors and Super Neighbors have a limit based on the lengh of their IDs. For Super Neighbors the limit is around 20.

The purple dot represents a neighbour that has made you a Super Neighbour. But maybe you have not set them as your Super Neighbor.
If you are mutual Super Neighbors then you will see both dots, Red and Purple.


We have the explanation for each dot in the following link from our Game guide:

I bought all the regular oil refineries for all my farms a few months ago and now you guys got this new Offshore Oil Rig, it already cost a lot and if i sell the old ones for the news ones that even more money, to bad we can't trade the old for the new since they cost the same

Hi tmlbluedove,
I am assuming you are talking about the oil refinery not the oil factory which are two different things. When you say they cost the same you are right that the Oil Refinery and the Offshore Oil Rig do cost the same, but they do not produce the same product.

The Oil Refinery uses Crude Oil Barrels to produce fuel and 4 other products.

The Offshore Oil Rig only produces Crude Oil Barrels, like the Oil Pump, to be used in the Oil Refinery to make those products, but produces 3 times the amount of Crude Oil Barrels an Oil Pump does.

The Offshore Oil Rig can be placed on the same farm as an Oil Pump. You do not have to replace the existing Oil Pumps. If you add an Offshore Oil Rig on a farm with an Oil Pump you are now able to produce 300% more Crude Oil Barrels on that farm.

[tmlbluedove]

yeah I was confused but that sounds better, thank you for your reply. I get it now, been gone 2 weeks, time to catch up

[marymarcel]

Hi gals and guys :)

Raul has just posted the following:

Post Release Updates - August 18th, 3:40PM

- Split the old 'Show Facilities' option in the preference screen in 3 separate options:
1) Show Regular Facilities 2) Show Service Facilities 3) Show Animal Buildings

- Added a new 'Show Ground Covers' option in the preference screen

[Early Girl]

Thanks Mary for this info! I went to my farm and half my facs on a farm were missing - LOL You saved me from deleting the game. Have a good evening

[Aussie Rae]

love the new additions, just used the show service facs on a farm and discovered I had 2 of the same facility, was wondering why my count differed from the one shown when using "show facility info" so much easier when you have a lot of facs on a farm ... :)

[Sqrl]

Hah! Being able to hide the ground covers means those pesky flowers are a lot easier to find. Thanks!

[JNelson]

the oil pump is still under tools for the wrench tool/icon

[Taz D]

Hi JNelson,
The oil pump is under the Regular facilities not the Tools. When you uncheck the regular facilities then it disappears. The only thing still under tools is the semi.

[Zeeky Banutski]

Question - can the developers revise the consumption rate of the new crop "Reed"? Its rapid rate of consumption is making it difficult to work other crops that also need attention...I have many layered fields, so I'm growing tons & tons of it, yet it's still near impossible to keep up with the demand placed on it by the facilities that use it. As it's a 2-hour crop, sometimes I'll spend 1/2 dozen planting sessions in a day just growing it, but still tend to fall short...help, please!

Its rapid rate of consumption is making it difficult to work other crops that also need attention...I have many layered fields, so I'm growing tons & tons of it, yet it's still near impossible to keep up with the demand placed on it by the facilities that use it. As it's a 2-hour crop, sometimes I'll spend 1/2 dozen planting sessions in a day just growing it, but still tend to fall short...help, please!

Hi Zeeky Banutski,

Have you been to market and sold anything recently?

Please go to market and make sure that whichever selling options you use that you have not got Reed check marked to sell when using Sell Selected.

While you are there, check how much is showing up under Non-Ingredients, looking at your data you haven't sold all of them in quite a while, so it's worth checking Reed is not showing up for you under that either and if it's not, sell those off.

Keeping large quantities of any particular item can cause a problem with random things going missing from storage, so make sure you sell your nons regularly and there is nothing in there under the ALL filter that could be getting near to the 200M mark for an individual item.
