New Release -- May 4th, 2022

[Raul]

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=657778)

1. 10 new Mothers Day decorations: 2 as gifts, 7 at the top of the Mothers Day category at the Store and 1 at the bottom.

2. Next 54 x 54 farm expansions for Farms 31 through 44: They cost 50 FarmCash or 70000000000 Coins.

3. Turbo Cinnamon Factory (FC): This is a new facility that produces 3 times More Cinnamon Bundles than the current Cinnamon Factory.

4. New 'Trade Products' tab in Facility Chains Manager:

a) When importing and exporting products, instead of going chain by chain you can now go neighbour by neighbour, this should speed up things by reducing clicks and only trading once with the same neighbour. The import action is still pending and will be enabled in the coming days.

b) You can now see how many products each neighbour has exported to you and how many products you can export to that neighbour, all in the same row, so you have more information to prioritize the exports between your neighbours

c) Total Import Cost: This is the amount of coins that will cost you to import all products from that neighbour, these products can then be used in your service facilities which are now more profitable because they are chains

d) Total Export Value: This is the amount of coins you will earn by exporting products to that neighbour, this is 100% more profitable compared to selling those products at the market

***Future Improvements***

e) A new Re-sell products option will allow you to instantly resell all imported products instead of storing them for future use in your service facility chains, this will be less profitable but will allow you to make a quick profit. You can also use this option if you don't have enough coins to import all products.

f) The staging area will be increased based on the amount of Farm Cash chains you own

g) All export products will be moved out to a dedicated storage to make more room in your regular product and harvest storage

h) Another set of Regular Quests will be enabled only for the products in the facility chain that was created in the current week

i) Organic and Green facility chains

5. Farm Pass: This is a seasonal event offering the opportunity to earn all kind of rewards by completing different goals as you play and interact with different features of the game, here is how it will work:

a) It will be a monthly event available for players at level 100 and up

b) 3 daily goals will be unlocked each day for you to complete on the current day

c) 3 season goals will be unlocked each week for you to complete on the current month

d) Season goals will be harder than daily goals but will earn you more farm pass points

e) As you earn farm pass points you will be unlocking different kind of rewards

f) Rewards can be free or premium, everyone will have access to the free rewards and players who purchase the Farm Pass will also have access to the premium rewards for that month

g) Some rewards when claimed will grant you instant benefits like farm products, facility ingredients, farm decorations, coins or farm cash

h) Other rewards will grant you certain privileges that will remain active for the rest of the season, for example, access to more avatar features, automatically revive crops, unstuck ships or speed up quest steps N times, more than 1 active quest lifeline, earning extra products when farming, increase benefits for ships, trains and trading warehouse, gift farm cash to helpers, etc

6. Ukrainian Restaurant (FC): Produces Ukrainian Food.

Green Borscht
Ukrainian Dumplings
Ukrainian Cabbage Rolls
Ukrainian Cheese Crepes
Meat Jelly
Banush
Chicken Kiev
Walnut Stuffed Prunes

Note: New products from other facilities: Cottage Cheese in the Dairy Processing Plant.

7. Veteran Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Veteran Supplies.

Veteran Grandpa Cup
Veteran Pin
Bullet Whiskey Glass
Woman Veteran T-Shirt
Flag and Medals Holder
Veteran Garden Flag
Army Soldier Statue
Veteran Postcard

8. Taste of Ukraine (FC): Provides Ukraine Cultural Exchange and Food Tasting Services and can be stocked with products from the Ukrainian Restaurant.

9. Veteran Club (Coins): Provides Veteran Community Services and can be stocked with products from the Veteran Supplies Factory.

Enjoy!

[Lady_Greenfingers]

Please tell me the font on FT has changed and it's not my eyesight getting worse. I am finding the new font very difficult to read and I hope it's not a permanent thing.

[Alexandra_J]

Thanks Raul for the New Release

[Sqrl]

Oh! Trade products has been enabled in the facility chains.

[Taz D]

Hi Sqrl,
Only for the Export part. They are still working on the Import part.

[Alexm2012]

[Aussie Rae]

[Denise Dianna]

I too am intrigued by "Farm Pass". Very, Very curious.....

[Ravenswing]

Like a number of other farmers I see posting, I find this new font is blurry and difficult to read, enough so to be a deterrent to play. Do we get to unset this as a preference?

[Taz D]

Hi Ravenswing,
I am sorry but there isn't a preference change you can make for the font.

[ftjill]

About the new font: I like that it is bigger :) I do not like that the font is somewhat blurry :(

Hope the font could be made crisper while retaining the size.

Thank you for the new release

[Taz D]

Hi Jill,
A fix has been released for the font. Please reload your farms to get the update.

Hi JNelson,

Where are you looking that you are not able to see the start tool for the veteran supplies?
Did you try reloading the game again to recheck it, after the release had arrived?

The start tool for the veteran supplies is the Conveyors tool.

[JaggerMister]

Please tell me the font on FT has changed and it's not my eyesight getting worse. I am finding the new font very difficult to read and I hope it's not a permanent thing.

I see it too. Kinda bolder.

OK JNelson,

Thank you for returning to let us know it's resolved.

[Alexm2012]

when working neighbours facs why do i see a game pass saying coming soon 27 days?

[Taz D]

when working neighbours facs why do i see a game pass saying coming soon 27 days?
Hi Alexm,
Ignore that for now. The developers are working on something new and there are no details about it, so ignore it.

[GRB]

Why do I not see what the new update brings, Am I just not finding it?

[Taz D]

Why do I not see what the new update brings, Am I just not finding it?
Hi GRB,

You are not seeing that because Raul has not posted it yet. It will be in the first post of this thread when he adds it.

[Alexandra_J]

The 'farm pass' looks interesting

[Bella Bello]

Thank you so much Raul and Team! :)

[Palmarina]

Hi, I am a little confused :confused:. I still have the banner mentioning the May 2nd update.
And I don't find any details of the new update.
Please advice.
Thanks.:)

Hi Palmarina,
Raul has not posted the details of the release yet and so has not changed the banner yet either. Please be patient until he posts the details.

[mattie van tonder]

Hi There,

We just released a new update to the game, details coming in a few hours.

Please post any issues you may find in the meantime in this thread.

Thanks

--Raul

now where is the details please, why make it so difficult

[marymarcel]

now where is the details please, why make it so difficult


Hi mattie van tonder :)

Full details will be added as soon as Raul finishes working on them. Please be patient.

[Taz D]

Hi all! Details have been added to first post about this release.

[Denise Dianna]

I think this "Farm Pass" looks exciting and I am looking for knowing more about it. Thanks Raul, this certainly adds something to this game we all love.

Hi DeniseDJ,
I am sure there will be more about it when it is finished and released.

[Sqrl]

Huh, idk, the Farm Pass makes me think of the horror that is fv2.

[Farmer_Susan]

I'm intrigued by the Farm Pass, too! Thanks Raul et al! Sounds very fun.

[SirMatthew KC]

Huh, idk, the Farm Pass makes me think of the horror that is fv2.

It doesn't sound like it will be required, though. Those things they started towards the end of FV where you had to login every single day and couldn't miss a day, drove me crazy. This sounds more of a reward situation, not a requirement. And trust me, I can be VERY skeptical. I don't get that feeling from this.

[SirMatthew KC]

Any news on when new levels (ie: FC) will be released? It's been 3 months again.

[Joy XxX]

I am having trouble understanding why a free game has become so expensive to get anywhere. You obviously never intend to catch up all the farmcash levels in order to get people to spend more . Suck us in in the beginning , with 1 fc per level. This is deceitful and mercenary. Some of us Will be forced out of the game sooner , or later, a number of my neighbors have already quit. When are you going to play fair ? Joy XxX

[suemack]

Thanks so much! Can't wait to hear more about the Farm Pass

[maminette]

Merci Raoul !Bonne fin de semaine ! :)

I seldom spend real money on the game....I do the quest If I don't happen to have that facility and it is an FC one I generally wont buy it.....I do quests most days...I am currently on level 1275...I mostly use the FC I am awarded to buy buy turbo tools. I work my neighbours facilities most days and get them to work mine.

I have been playing farm town for 13 years and still very much enjoy it..I am quite interested in the farm pass.

Sorry, I do not understand you, you can play the game for free, I know many that like me only buy what I need in the tool area's and skip other areas, if you do spend a little every now and again it helps and some of the benefits of the farm cash items far out way the actual cost, the game is set so that you play it as you want and always has been??

[JNelson]

no new levels last month as normal, and again no new levels this month, is Raul capping the levels where they are or is frequency changing ?

you can also earn farm cash by doing regular and co-op quests,

farm cash supplies can be picked up by boosting trains, doing ships - sending and receiving - the trade warehouse, the facility chains, and gift exchange
so there are ways

all 'free' games no matter what they are have game money items that enhance their game that is how companies survive but the game is possible to play for free - although can be frustrating - there would be no possible way for slashkey to keep up with the current pace of players leveling up - so can not expect them to do so

I don't think you are being fair. Slashkey is a business - of course they want to make money. The game doesn't write itself. There must be coders and developers, they have to be paid. You can play the game for free. I did for years. I spend money now. I do it willingly because I understand the people who develop the game have families and rent to pay and food to buy.

[DizzyMiss]

I went to buy this new facility - BUT $81 - REALLY ????
Very disappointed :(

[Tiger]

Hi DizzyMiss,

The Turbo Cinnamon Factory produces 3 times more than the Cinnamon Factory that also costs Farm Cash to buy, so the price is 3 times the cost of the regular version.

[Sqrl]

It doesn't sound like it will be required, though. Those things they started towards the end of FV where you had to login every single day and couldn't miss a day, drove me crazy. This sounds more of a reward situation, not a requirement. And trust me, I can be VERY skeptical. I don't get that feeling from this.

Hoping you're right :). Certainly FT has never had the static feel of FV2, where you run out of animals and crops and it's quests forever.

[Alexandra_J]

Is the Farm Pass active yet?

If it isn't, people are complaining already lol. At least give it a try peeps before you start complaining that the 'farm pass' isn't for you.

I will be giving it a try when it's available. Until I try it you won't hear my verdict on it.

[debhurst51]

Thank you for the new facilities, especially the Ukranian items.

There is an issue with your pricing on some of the turbo stuff. You say it produces three times or whatever but the price is ridiculous. You do know folks out here are struggling & that paying the real money to add up to $0 or $92 is unfounded. I realize y'all have to make money also but really?

Again, thanks for the new items.

That $92 will be $92 farm cash not $92 real dollars.

for America for $120 farm cash will only be $19.99 real dollars.

But I do understand what you mean. Paying that in the UK will be £16.26 for $120 farm cash

[Sqrl]

We would all like new levels but obviously the devs have been very busy converting the game from Flash, dealing with all the little bugs we uncover, and improving things like the facility chains. I plod along doing the quests and eventually will have enough FC to buy something. It surprises me how many people--judging by what I find when looking for co-op quest items in the markets--don't do the quests.

[Taz D]

Hi All,
Please keep your comments here to the new release items. There is a thread in the Feedback section for discussions concerning farm cash that you can post in instead of here.

[Alexandra_J]

Will levels be available for the May Release, but later in May? The last update we had was 5th February 2022 so it's been 3 months.

Hi Alexandra :)

That means in which version of the game we are. For example, if there is a problem and it is fixed, then you get a new version and the fix for the problem and that number changes.

Hi John,
The Farm Pass has not been activated. When it is there will be further explanation on it.

I'm looking forward to when the farm pass starts. Is there any indication of when this will be and how will we know when one is in effect? How can we expect it to be announced?

Hi Alexandra_J,

I have moved your post to Mays New Release thread where the devs listed some information about the Farm Pass.

The devs have not said when Farm Pass will be ready to be released or said that the time showing on the Farm Pass had anything to do with when it is likely to be released. I am sure they will explain the time showing on it when they are either ready to provide more information about it or when they are ready to release the feature.

Hi Alexandra_J,

As I have said, the devs will supply more information about the Farm Pass feature which will likely also explain the time showing when they are ready to. All the information we can give you at this time, is in Raul's post on the first page of this thread.

We are aware that some users can see the Farm Pass icon and time and some don't always see it.

my Farm Pass icon is showing 00:00 now, waiting patiently to see if anything happens soon, :)

lol, its now reverted to 28 days so I won't worry keeping an eye on it, guessing they are still testing it out which is great as so many will complain if anything doesn't work with it...
