New Farmtown Website Released!

[Raul]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last update released on July 21st, 5:15PM. En Español AQUI (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=662314)


We just released the first version of the farmtown.com (http://farmtown.com) website.


To login to your account use the email and password credentials for farmtown.com you created previously in the Farmtown Facebook app.

You can also use your User ID number instead of the email to login. Your Farmtown User ID is shown at the bottom of each page in the game.

Click here (http://farmtown.com) to login before Farmtown is removed from Facebook!

You can use both Farmtown apps at the same time and they should both work as expected most of the time, however, for features that require interactions with other farmers, you may find some unexpected results. The main reason is that Farmtown Website has no access to your Facebook data like friends and requests.

For example, if a farmer use Farmtown Website to send you a train boost request, you will see that request in your train manager using both apps, however, you will not see that request in the 'My Request' tab using the Farmtown Facebook app, because the farmer's Farmtown Website app cannot add that request to Facebook.

In Farmtown Website, there is no list of Facebook friends, you will use your neighbours and buddies to interact with other farmers. To compensate for this, in the coming days, your Neighbours capacity will be increased by 30% and your Buddy List capacity will be 3 times as much, so in total, you should be able to have connections to almost 500 farmers in the game.

If you currently have Facebook friends that you interact with frequently but they are not your Neighbours or Buddies, we strongly recommend that you add those friends to your Neighbours or Buddies using the Farmtown Facebook app while it's still available, this will make it easier to interact with those farmers in the website.

If you don't do this and Facebook deactivate the Farmtown app, you will have to search for them manually in the website via email or user id, to be able to add them to your Neighbours or Buddies, this last part is still not completed.

We encourage you to explore the Farmtown Website app and navigate to each tab to find more detailed information about how different functionalities will be affected and how they will be implemented.

There are features that are only present in the Farmtown Website, like the new farmer selector when sending train boosts to other farmers and new options for adding neighbours like the new 'Add to Neighbours' avatar menu option.

This is only version 1 of the Farmtown Website, there are a few features that are still missing and others that needs improvements.

These are the features that are still pending to be migrated to the Farmtown Website:

1. Buy FarmCash via Paypal or Stripe
2. Send and Receive gifts

These are improvements to be done related to Neighours and Buddies:

1. Add a feature to the Farmtown Facebook app to make it easier to migrate Facebook friends to neighbours or buddies
2. Expand the capacity for neighbours and buddies
3. Add more ways to add neighbours
4. Add more ways to add buddies
5. Add capability to convert neighbours to buddies and the other way around
6. Add more filters related to Neighours and Buddies to increase the amount of farmers that you can reach when sending gifts, working facilities, etc. See potential new filters below:

- Farmers that have me as a Neighbour
- Farmers that have me as a Buddy
- Farmers that have me as a Neighbour or Buddy

These are improvements to be done related to the login process, password recovery and signing new users:

1. Implement forgot password feature
2. Research alternative methods for players who haven't been able to register for farmtown.com to be able to regain access to their Farmtown Facebook farms
3. Implement sign up page so non-Facebook users can play in Farmtown Website without having a Facebook account
4. Invite new users to the game

These are improvements to be done related to pictures:

1. Allow farmers to save/delete their small squared Facebook picture to/from our servers to be used in the Farmtown Website app
2. View saved farm pictures

Enjoy!

Post Release Updates - April 22th, 5:35PM

- Bugfix: After posting belt bonuses, the bonus remained visible and didn't disappear from the list.

Post Release Updates - April 25th, 4:10PM

- All players that haven't logged in to the new website yet will start seeing a new 'Login Verification' screen inside the Facebook game, this screen will allow you to do 2 things:

1) If you haven't visited the new website yet, you can click the blue button 'Login to Farmtown.com' to visit Farmtown.com in a new browser tab and enter your email and password to verify your credentials

2) If you have forgotten your credentials you can click the red link 'Update your Registration' at the bottom of the screen

Post Release Updates - April 25th, 11:00PM

- Bugfix: Players not being able to delete some of their buddies.

Post Release Updates - April 26th, 6:00PM

- Bugfix: Sometimes when posting facilities, other farmers were not seeing the post. We are not 100% sure if the issue was fully fixed, so please report here in the forums if you notice it again.

For the fix to take place, you have to reload the game.

Post Release Updates - April 28th, 6:30PM

- Buddy List screen Improvements (Round 2):

1. Added last activity date and level to each buddy

2. Buddies that are also neighbours will have a blue background

3. Added a blue neighbour icon to each buddy:

a) When the buddy is not your neighbour, you can click this icon to convert that buddy into a neighbour, that farmer will be removed from your buddies and added to your neighbours

b) When the buddy is also your neighbour, you can click this icon to delete that buddy from your neighbours

4. When you remove buddies or when you close and re-open the Buddy List screen, the scroll position is remembered

5. Added a Sorter icon to sort by: Avatar Name, Name, Online Status, Level, Last Active and Neighbour. Also, the sorting ignores non-alphanumeric characters, so it's more accurate.

6. Added stats at the top left showing total buddies and capacity used

7. If the Avatar Name is the same as the Name, then we only show one to reduce clutter

Post Release Updates - May 3rd, 1:00PM

- Bugfix: At 8:50AM today we introduced a new bug with a similar consequence to the bug introduced 6 days ago, a significant % of users lost most of their preferences in the game, a fix was released about an hour ago.

This is all related to the updates that must be completed before we are able to expand the neighbour and buddy capacity.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Post Release Updates - May 4th, 12:30PM

- If you keep your browser open or you have enabled the 'Continue where you left off' option in your browser, you will remain logged in to the website for up to a week, so when you reload the game during this period you won't have to enter email and password. If you use the Farmtown website in a public computer, just remember to click the Logout button at the top right when you are done playing.

- Hide duplicated facility posts in 'My Request' tab 'Facility Wall Requests' section.

Post Release Updates - May 5th, 5:50PM

- Expanded Neighbours capacity by 33%. The Buddies capacity is now 3 times as much as before. You should be able to have about 500 neighbours and buddies combined.

- The 'Manage' button is now showing up in the Facility Chains manager.

Post Release Updates - May 5th, 9:40PM

- The 'Manage' screens for the same users in the user action panel are now consistent, they either all have the Add as Neighbour/Buddy buttons or none of them have it.

Post Release Updates - May 9th, 12:30AM

- The game screen in the website is now 30% wider, this allows to show more farm content and in the future maybe expand the neighbours and shortcuts bar at the bottom of the game.

Post Release Updates - May 12th, 11:00PM

- Increased the total amount of posts shown in the My Requests -> Wall Requests sections from 100 to 150.

Post Release Updates - May 21th, 7:50PM

- The 'Forgot Password' link in the new website is now working. If you remember your login email address, we will send you a security code to your email that you will have to enter in the website to verify your identity and to change your password.

Post Release Updates - May 23rd, 9:00PM

- More options to send Neighbour or Buddy requests to other farmers:

a) When visiting a farm, send a neighbour or buddy request to the farm owner using the blue and green silhouette icons with a plus sign located in the visitor toolbox

b) When reading an offline message, send a nieghbour or buddy request to the message sender using the blue and green silhouette icons

If the farmer is already your neighbour or buddy, the correspondent icon will be disabled. Notice that the farmer does not have to be online when you send the request, they will see your request when they go back into the game, see points below.

- Buddy List screen replaced by a more general Farmer Lists screen: This screen now contain information about your Neighbours, your Buddies, your Facebook Friends and the Requests you receive from other farmers to add you as a Neighbour or Buddy. You can access this screen using the old icon in the left bottom corner of your toolbox.

a) The My Neighbours tab is very similar to the My Buddies screen we released last month:

- The green buddy icon allows you to convert that neighbour to a buddy, that farmer will be removed from your neighbours and added to your buddies
- Neighbours that are also buddies will have a green background, you can group them all at the top if you sort by Buddy
- When the neighbour is also your buddy, you can click the green buddy icon with the red minus sign to delete that neighbour from your buddies
- You can use the note icon to send an offline message, the green man to visit the farm and the dozer to remove the neighbour

b) The Facebook Friends tab shows all your Facebook firends that have played the game in the past year:

- All the Facebook friends that are also your neighbours will have a blue background
- All the Facebook friends that are also your buddies will have a green background
- You can sort by Buddy or Neighbour to see all your buddies or neighbours at the top
- You can sort by the 'Non Neighbour or Buddy' option to see first all your Facebook friends that are neither your neighbours or buddies
- The green buddy icon allows you to add that Facebook friend to your Farmtown buddies
- The blue neighbour icon allows you to add that Facebook friend to your Farmtown neighbours

c) The Neighbour Requests tab shows all the farmers that are asking you for permission to add you to their neighbours:

- Use the blue buttons to Accept or Reject their requests
- Use the blue and green silhouette icons to add that farmer as your neighbour or buddy
- There is an equivalent Buddy Requests tab that works the same way

- Website only changes:

a) Added the 'Farmer Lists' icon to the left of the 'Message Envelope' icon at the top of the farm so you can quickly notice others neighbour and buddy requests

b) Added more farmer filters when sending train boosts:

- My Facebook Friends
- Farmers that have you as a neighbour (even if they are not your neighbours)
- Farmers that have you as a buddy (even if they are not your buddies)

The last 2 options can give you access to a new set of farmers that you couldn't reach in Facebook.

c) Started including posts from all your Facebook Friends in the My Request -> Wall Requests sections

d) Added a link at the top of the My Request -> Wall Requests sections to include or hide posts from farmers that have you as a Neighbour or Buddy but are not your Neighbours or Buddies. This can give you access to a new set of facility / bonuses / ingredient posts that you couldn't reach in Facebook.

Post Release Updates - June 5th, 2:00PM

- Bugfix: When sending a train boost requests while visiting another farmer, i.e. after working facilities or helping as a Super Neighbour, those requests were showing as expired for the receivers.

Post Release Updates - July 12th, 1:05PM

- Released the Gift Manager, this is an update to the current Gift box and will allow you to send and accept gifts from inside the main game, no need to navigate to the Send Gifts or My Requests tab. It will show 3 tabs:

Send Gifts tab: This section will allow you to send a gift to multiple farmers, several filters and sorting options are available to make the process faster

My Gifts tab: This will be the same as the current Gift box, it shows all the gifts that you have accepted but haven't used/stored yet

Pending Gifts tab: This section will show all the pending gifts that farmers have sent you but you haven't accepted yet, it will contain all the options currently available in Farmtown Facebook My Request tab

Note: The gifting activity in Farmtown Facebook app will be separate from Farmtown Website app, meaning, the gifts you send using Farmtown Facebook could only be accepted by farmers using Farmtown Facebook. Gifts you send using Farmtown Website could only be accepted by farmers using Farmtown Website.

Note 2: You can accept gifts using the My Request tab in Farmtown Website, however, sending gifts back can only be done inside the main game using the Gift Manager.

Post Release Updates - July 13th, 12:20PM

- When selecting friends to send gifts or train boost requests, there are now 3 sorting options:

1. Selected Stay in Place -> selected farmers remains in the same spot
2. Selected Move to Top -> selected farmers are automatically moved to the top of the list
3. Selected Move to Bottom -> selected farmers are automatically moved to the bottom of the list

If you don't want to select specific farmers as the recipients of your gift, it will probably be faster for you to use the default option 'Selected Move to Bottom', this way you just continue clicking on the same spot until you have selected the amount of farmers you want.

Post Release Updates - July 17th, 10:40PM

- Gift Manager bugfixes and improvements:

a) New 'Select ##' button in the Select Friends screen to select up to 50 farmers at once when sending gifts

b) Bugfix: When using the Store Ingredients/Animals/Plants button in the Gift Manager, the stored gifts were not removed from the screen

c) Bugfix: If you have multiple pending gifts from the same farmer and that farmer is not your neighbour or buddy, if you click the Manage button under the picture and add the farmer to your neighbours or buddies, the Manage button remains on the screen until you close and re-open the Gift Manager

d) Bugfix: If you have farm pass goals to send or accept gifts, you will have to reload the game after sending or accepting gifts in the Gift Manager for farm pass goals to update

e) Bugfix: Pending gift count sometimes not fitting in the red circle

Note: In order to save storage space in our servers, pending gifts that are not accepted in a 60 day timeframe will be removed automatically.

Post Release Updates - July 18th, 5:25PM

- You can now ask your friends to send you more of a specific gift by using the 'More' button in your Gift Manager -> My Gifts section. They will see your request in their My Requests -> Other Wall Requests section and will be able to send you the gift from there.

Post Release Updates - July 19th, 5:40PM

- Enabled the capability to buy Farm Cash in the farmtown.com website for all players. We currently accept payments via Paypal or Stripe, the 2 leading payment processors globally. Notice that both services allow you to use your credit card to pay.

Post Release Updates - July 21st, 5:15PM

- The 'Preferences' section located in the Account tab in the farmtown.com website was replaced by a new 'Profile' section. In addition to changing your avatar name and gender, now you will be able to change your real first name, your email and your password. Here are some rules:

1. Your real first name must contain only letters, no spaces or numbers

2. Your password must be at least 6 characters long

3. In order to change your password you must have access to your current email. If that's not the case, then you must change your email first for an email that you have access to, since we will be sending you security codes to that email.

4. In order to change your email you don't need to have access to your old email, but you do need to have access to your new email. Keeping a valid email as your farmtown email is very important since this is the only way you will be able to recover access to your farms if you forget your password.

In the future you will be able to change your picture as well, either by uploading a new one from your PC or by using the Facebook Login system to allow the game to automatically download and use your current Facebook picture.

Known Issues:

- None.

Thank you Raul and team for all the hard work getting this going!

[CDobber74]

I have noticed that when doing others facs (show facility wall requests) on Slashkey that I am seeing a handful of neighbors facs that I never saw/see doing the same methodology on Facebook. Its like they've been hidden for years!

This is really the only feature I've tinkered around with going between the two sites, so not sure if there's other features that will operate differently besides what is explained in RED font.

[Tiger]

Thanks Raul and all the dev team, whoohoo :D

Hi CDobber,
The difference may be that those who you haven't seen before were posting in Facebook to a specific group of neighbors/friends and in the website you do not have that capability so all posts go to the wall.

[Rob T]

Thank you Raul and team for working so hard to get this up and running :)

[peekachoo]

Oh well done to Raul and the team, I bet you're all pleased to get that main bit done.
Thanks for everything !

[Keef]

well done Raul & team

I saw this in the things they are looking at

Research alternative methods for players who haven't been able to register for farmtown.com to be able to regain access to their Farmtown Facebook farms



I got locked out of one of my ID's by FB for unusual activity, about a week before registrations started, hopefully I can get that farm back as I do have the user ID number, hopefully that will help me get it back, please LMK if that is possible

[JudyD1651]

Awesome! Thank you Raul and team. Step by step it will all work out. :)

[Snookie Sue]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great job. I just love the new site - it is so much smoother and fast, a joy to use.

[Alexandra_J]

I can't post my bonuses on the new website. It says it sent one, then won't allow me to send the others, I click on the red x to go back to my yellow tool box to try again and the the one that I 'sent' is still there.

The new website is brilliant, :D

[WannaBeFarmGirl]

Raul and Team, THANK YOU!
I know how much hard work this all entailed. This was a huge task and you took it on and pulled it off. You have made many people very happy. I applaud you and am very proud to be a part of Farm Town's global community. :)

[crafty chris]

Hi Crafty Chris,
Stripe is a service that they are using to handle the purchases. It allows you to use a credit/debit card just like Facebook does.

[Vivienne57]

How can we add friends on FB who are not neighbours to our buddy lists for the new platform. I have about 800 friends on FB that play FT. How is it possible to add 500 of them to a buddy list?

Hi Viviennes,
I moved your post to the thread about the website. The additional amounts for neighbors and buddies has not been added yet. You can add them from Facebook game as you would normally do those as listed in the Game Guide chapter 6:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=314838


The information on ways to add them from the website are in the new Web Guide:

[Sqrl]

I spent about a minute zooming in and out enjoying how smooth it was.

[Ellsinore]

Just in time! The Game Room on FB was just rolled out for me a couple of days ago and I HATE IT! Great timing! Thanks!

[Denise Dianna]

I hope you will roll out a new way to add buddies. I have friends on FB that I have never met IRL and I have never even seen their avatar. I would like to have a way to add them as a buddy when I visit their farms. Thanks for your consideration. I love the new website.

[marymarcel]

Hi Farmers :)

Hi DeniseDJ,
There are ways to add buddies in the Web Guide. Also as long as we have Facebook the easiest way will be through that.

[janmit63]

I can't find the paper i wrote my info on. I tried using my id number but I don't have my pasword & the forgot password button is not working

[Taz D]

Hi Janmit,
I am sorry, but you will have to wait to use the website until they get the forgot password ready to be used. As long as you can still play in Faxcebook you will be ok.

[Snookie Sue]

When you are using the new website you can go to any of the marketplaces, click on anyone's avatar and choose the new option of add neighbor, the add buddy option was always there. I filled my neighbor list up in around 30 minutes this evening. I love the new site too.

[AussieGecko]

Fantastic work with moving us out of FB. Very much appreciated! I am curious about something. A friend of mine lost her access to Email and then Facebook years ago as she couldn't confirm her FB account. Because of this she lost access to her Farm town game. As she still knows her farm ID, is there hope she can later open a new Email account and log in to recover her lost farm?

Hi AussieGecko ,
We do not know if that will be possible later. The developers are going to research that. She will have to wait to see what they can come up with.

[rockcandymountain]

I was unable to log into my farms through the slashkey portal. But could get on using Facebook. I then used my user ID instead of my email address and I was able to get on. I dont understand why the email would work on in website but not slashkey'

Hi Rockcandymoutain,
I moved your post to the thread about the new website.
The only way your email address would not work is if you typed it wrong. As long as you can get in with your ID number then you should be ok.

[Farmer_Susan]

VERY excited about breaking free from FB! I so didn't like being held hostage.

I may have missed it - but is there a way to go full-screen? The zoom is awesome, but I have big monitors and keep them pushed back really far on my desk so the window looks small with my setup. Am I missing it? Or maybe it's on the "coming soon" list?

Hi Farmer Susan,
You go full screen the same way you do in the Facebook version. Click on the double arrows above the magnifying glasses.

When posting your facilities and clients via the new website do they last 48 hours like they done with facebook or would we need to repost them after refilling?

[marymarcel]

Hi Alexandra :)

I moved your post to the thread about new Website.

You have to consider that when you post your facilities and services from the website, the requests will only show up in Show Wall Requests to be worked from.

If the friends' wall requests who can work them are filled with many requests very fast, then you will need to post more than only once during the day, in case they missed your posts the first time you posted.

We cant give you an exact idea how many times you have to post as it depens on how you play which is completely different for each player.

[Denise Dianna]

I am hoping we will be able to convert "friends" to "buddy" through the seaport like we can through the train depot.

[Taz D]

Hi DeniseDJ,
That ability is already in the manager, but as with the trains the manage will only show if a ship is sent by a non-neighbor.
The information is in the Web Guide.

[earlgray]

Bravo! I farmed the new website this morning, worked like a charm! So nice not to have all that distracting junk from Facebook next to the game. Thanks!

[marebareshobbiecentral]

Hi there.

Once we become neighbors or buddies in the new site, do we still get bonus coins when doing each others farms?

Currently when we are buddies or neighbors, we do not get the bonus coins when working each others farms.

Thank you

Hi marebareshobbiecentral,
I moved your post to the announcement thread about the website.
Currently buddies do not get the bonus. Whether the developers will change that is up to them. Unfortunately if we end up off of Facebook that will be the only way to interact in the game with those we have as friends currently on Facebook.

[Denise Dianna]

Hi DeniseDJ,

Earlier today I had a friend send me a ship and manage did not show. FYI

Hi DeniseDJ,
Were you in the website or Facebook version? The manage should only show if you are on the website version. If you were using the Facebook version then you still should be able to load and send it on.

What did it say under the name?

[michelle jo]

thanks to all the team your doing well good and so fast too keep up the good work really appreciated

It said friend. I am not sure what version I was on, I have been on both on and off. I will try to make sure I do that from outside FB and recheck.

[max_river]

ty everyone who help with the new site. also thank you to all the mods who are always willing to help us. i have a question if my friend list was full on facebook can i add new ones on the new site

[Taz D]

Hi max_river,
Are you sure friend list is what you mean? The only lists for Farm Town in both cases are Neighbors and Buddies. Currently if those lists are full on Facebook then they will be full on the website. There has been on expansion of those lists yet.

[Blammin Hammer]

I do not add people to my buddy list because it prevents getting the bonus chest. So, if we should now add people by buddy list could that aspect be adjusted? if so it would remove this barrier. Thanky!

[RIAP27]

Just want to say the transition with both my accts, on both my computers (Win 7 desktop and a Win 10 Surface Pro) went flawlessly and all appears to be working great! Kudos for the Devs hard work and makes me thrilled I have played for so long, and supported this game with my FC purchases over the last decade.
I never used buddy lists but do my neighbor page in the game. Has the 30% capacity been added yet? (For neighbors?)
Again thank you for an outstanding job!

[Taz D]

Just want to say the transition with both my accts, on both my computers (Win 7 desktop and a Win 10 Surface Pro) went flawlessly and all appears to be working great! Kudos for the Devs hard work and makes me thrilled I have played for so long, and supported this game with my FC purchases over the last decade.
I never used buddy lists but do my neighbor page in the game. Has the 30% capacity been added yet? (For neighbors?)
Again thank you for an outstanding job!
Hi Riap,
When the added amounts for neighbors and buddies will be announced in the release thread or here by the developers.

[Sesselwill]

Thank you for this move, I hate going through FB to play. With that, I have a clarification question (because my brain is old) and an observance. If we already have our neighbors set up, we don't need to do anything else, do we? Also, when I went to boost one of my trains on the new site, it would only allow me to choose one neighbor at a time. I had to choose a name, send it, choose the next, etc. Thanks again!!!!

[Missy Lou]

I have a buddy in farmtown.com that I want to change to neighbour. Doesn't seem to be possible right now. any idea if that will possible later?

Hi Sesselwill,
Your neighbors you have in Facebook will be the same in the website, so no you do not need to do anything with those.
You should be able to select each you want to send to and they will turn to a pink background and then select the next one. There will be a number at the center bottom that shows how many you have selected. You can only select and send from one of the lists at a time though so you can't choose some from one list and then switch to another list to continue choosing. This information is in the Web Guide:

Hi Missy Lou,
There isn't a direct way to change a buddy to a neighbor. You will have to add them as a neighbor and then go to your buddy list and remove them from that.

[RIAP27]

It said friend. I am not sure what version I was on, I have been on both on and off. I will try to make sure I do that from outside FB and recheck.

Okay many apologies. I do get the "manage" outside FB so I must have been inside earlier. Thanks for the help.

I logged into the new FT format today. When I went to the marketplace I noticed that there weren't many farmers. In the Facebook FT I would just reload by going back to my Facebook and reload FT. I don't see anyway to "refresh" in the new FT format. Please advise. Thanks

Hi cbl,
Try just clicking on the Map again and choosing the Job market again. That will load the market. I use that in either Facebook or the website.

At some point, I think you should add the mayor image to the thumbnail for the website. This is awesome. Thanks so much.

I never have used the Buddy thing - or at least I didn't think I had. I decided to check it and golly! I bet there are between 50 and 100 Buddies in there! I don't suppose it matters, but how did they get there? At this point, I'm really glad to have them, although I don't know how many are active players. GOODNESS! What a surprise!

Hi Farmer Susan,
If they are in your list then you had to have asked them or accepted them from others who asked you. They don't automatically get added to your list.

The log ins for the website game and the forums are different with different username and passwords.
There are links in the first post of this thread to get you to the login of your farms. You are not using the correct password to log into your farms.

[Farmer_Susan]

I was just in the Marketplace and got a LOT of buddy requests. It was pretty cool. I've always weeded out neighbors who are inactive but try to keep it close to the maximum number. Now I'm getting tons of buddies, too. I don't really think I'm going to lose many neighbors, since I've only kept the active ones.

SO glad we get to keep our game!

i thank everyone involved with this but i maybe be running into problems later ... i dont have nor do i want a paypal account (or anything to do with them!!) and i have no idea what stripe is hopefully there will be other methods down the road :)

Hi John,
All of that will be coming. Currently the only way to join the game is through Facebook. The developers are still working on the parts of the game for the website that are not available yet. Please just wait and see how they will add all the parts we have in Facebook.
For getting neighbors we still have the thread in social for asking and then when they have added a few they can always get referrals from those.

Hi John,
How about you wait and see what the developers come up with. They can't do the entire game over into the web site at once as some things we do through Facebook have to be added into the game internally, so those have to be reprogrammed.

Hi Alexandra_J and barbaraelwart,

Please read the 3rd sentence in that particular Message Sender window,

It says "In the coming days or weeks we will allow you to contact this farmer to request approval"

That means you can't add them using that particular Manage in that area of the website game yet.

Hi JaggerMister,

If they only just reached level 20 and are still at that level ask them to try reloading the game. If still does not show up try levelling up some more. The lower levels should be very easy to reach so perhaps aim for getting to level 30.

I came back this morning and it made me login again. Is this the new normal, having to log in every day? I play other games and after the first login the system remembers you as long as you are on the same computer.
Was this a one time glitch?

If you close your browser then the next time you try to enter the game you have to log in again.

We dont know if developers will change that at some point.

Hi Viviennes,
I moved your post to the thread about the website. The additional amounts for neighbors and buddies has not been added yet. You can add them from Facebook game as you would normally do those as listed in the Game Guide chapter 6:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=314838


The information on ways to add them from the website are in the new Web Guide:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6542650#post6542650

I know how to add buddies in FB game but it is going to be difficult in the Website game. I understand there is a feature to add a buddy if they send you a train or a ship but if only neighbours or buddies can send a train or ship then that feature is pointless. Getting friends to come to your farm or the markets is going to be a struggle because we are not always on at the same time and there is a time difference between countries. I feel I am not going to make much progress in the Web game because of the restrictions. I do wish this issue had been thought through.

Hi Vivienne :)

That is why it is strongly recommended to do that while we are still in Facebook. It is much easier to check who are your facebook friends who have not connection with you into the game and try to add them as neighbors or buddies according to the lists capacity.

If you have many only Facebook friends, try to look for the ones you most interact and then try to talk to them, send them messages, and find the way to add them.

Hi Auntie Al :)

Yes, there is a great risk. The following is part of the text developers posted in the New Release March 7th, 2023

1. WARNING! High Risk for Farmtown to be removed from Facebook:

As many of you know already, the latest Facebook requirements for Farmtown to continue to be available inside Facebook are now extremely demanding for our small team, therefore, there is a high chance that Farmtown will be disabled for a long time inside Facebook or even permanently.

Also I want to commend the devolopers/programmers of this game. First to convert from flash and now to a stand alone game. You all have had big jobs and have been doing a great job! Thank you.

[uma437]

Good morning,
first of all: I love the new website and will be happy to play FT without Facebook, thanks to the team!

I am playing since 2009 and added people to my buddy list right from the start. Now, my neighbour list and buddy list are completely full and I have about 1000 contacts in Facebook playing Farmtown too.

Now I am thinking about cleaning up my buddy list like I regular do it with my neighbour list; I remove people not playing for a longer period from time to time. Not as friends, but as neighbours.

I have no idea about the activity and level of those people on my buddy list. I think some are my neighbours too. Some might not have been playing for years. I have just checked some buddies by visiting their farms; some had crops gone to waste, so these are probably dead accounts. Some were unable to visit as the farms got already archived.
Is it possible to add more information about the users on the buddy list, like the information available in the "my neighbours" tab? It is very awkward to visit the farms of every single person on my buddy list.

Is it possible to make the buddy list more comfortable to work with? I just started to delete some inactive accounts. Every time I come back to the list afterwards it jumps at the end of the list. So I always have to scroll back to the position I was before. And when is the list refreshed? i still see everybody I have deleted on it.
If I only see the avatar instead of a profile picture, is it a hint for inactivity?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for the improvement in the Buddy group. It is really nice that we can help each other with coop stickies. I often use my buddies to find coop items. Right now when I go through the buddies it always bounces back to the top of the list and I have to use the scroll bar to get back to where I left off. It can be difficult to remember which buddy I was looking at and when you increase the amount of buddies we can have it will make this worse.
Can you make it so that we can arrow through the group like we can for our neighbours and in the marketplace. Thanks

If you are posting your facilities from the website, they are not posted to facebook anymore, so your husband should see them in Facility Wall Requests.

From Raul notes:

Post Release Updates - April 25th, 4:10PM

- All players that haven't logged in to the new website yet will start seeing a new 'Login Verification' screen inside the Facebook game, this screen will allow you to do 2 things:

1) If you haven't visited the new website yet, you can click the blue button 'Login to Farmtown.com' to visit Farmtown.com in a new browser tab and enter your email and password to verify your credentials

2) If you have forgotten your credentials you can click the red link 'Update your Registration' at the bottom of the screen

[Farmer_Susan]

To save time, I've always used the right-click then "open in new tab" thing to work facilities. When I did that from FB, I could do a maximum of 4 or 5 at a time before they would start crashing. But with the new site, so far, I haven't FOUND a limit. I've been doing 12-15 neighbor's facilities at a go tonight and have had NO crashes! So much nicer! I'll probably try even more tomorrow - just felt too good to be true tonight so I wasn't pushing it. :)

Thanks again, Raul. This is just awesome. :)

Hi Rposer,

If you have never been able to log into the website, you need to be loading the Facebook version of the game to be able to go through the new registration process.

Before you proceed please make sure that you have kept up with routine computer updates and browser updates & clearing.

If you could be using a saved bookmark in your browser to load the FACEBOOK version of the game. Try loading the Facebook version by using the bookmark on the left side of Facebook News Feed

OR you can also click on the Play in Facebook button at the top of the forum to make sure that you are in the current version of the game.

I have a second farm I haven't been able to use for years because I no longer have access to the email address that's associated with it. I have the user ID for that farmer (#100003545226144) and she still appears as a neighbor in my account. I was told that I'd be able to assign a new email to that account in the new version. Can someone tell me how to do that? Looking forward to this!

Thanks so much!

Hi SUsan,
When or if he gets it working then he will add it to the first post of this thread. Some of the things they are needing to do are not easy to program or reprogram.

Please help. I hadn't played through Facebook for years. I have gone in through Facebook but I didn't need to register. I am managing to play through Facebook but I don't see a notification box that I can click on to register for the new farmtown.com website version. Why am I not seeing this box? I have tried logging in to the new website but I can't remember password. I know others had this problem initially, but it was resolved by there being a notification box on the Facebook version. I have not got this. How come? What am I doing wrong? Please help!

is there an ETA on when the neighbor and buddy limit will be increased?

What can buddies NOT do that neighbor can, there currently very little in that chapter, but I know Tiger still working on it

how do we change a buddy into a neighbor and vise a versa?

Hi kezzer,

Your post is a little confusing.

If you haven't played FarmTown on Facebook for years, where have you been playing it?

Do you mean that you deleted the game and only recently returned to playing it?

If you did not register using the Facebook version of the game then you did not provide the email and password that you would need to use for you to be able to log into the Website.

Have you ever logged into the Website?

Are you using a saved bookmark in your browser to play Farm Town? If you are, please look at the top of the Forum for Play in Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?ref=sk_site&cid=sk_site) and click on it to make sure that you are in the current version of FarmTown on Facebook.

Try that, and if you have never registered for the Website or never logged into it, then you should be seeing a registration window that says "Secure your access to your Farm Town farms!"

If using the Play in Facebook button at the top of the forum doesn't show you that window, please supply your USER ID and the Build number which you will find when you load Farm Town on Facebook, scroll down past the game screen where your farms are, then past the yellow box underneath it and you will see

Your USER ID number is:

We need the long number after that and the Build number to the right that.

Hi, sorry if my post was confusing. i used to play years ago and then stopped playing. A post came up on my newsfeed about FT and i decided to try and play again. Initially i went through the link on the fan page and i didnt have to register, it just loaded the page and then i changed avatar etc. i did not have to enter my name though. i have managed to play ok but obviously i would like to be able to log onto the new website if facebook deletes FT.

I tried your suggestion of making sure i was playing the correct version and im still not getting the box or information where i can log on to farmtown.com, request password etc.

this is my farm number: 10207566458504558 Build No: 471.

thanks for replying but hope you can help further.

Hi kezzer,

Thank you for providing the information requested, much appreciated!

You need to reach Level 21 in the Facebook game and then you will be shown the registration windows which will allow you to register for the website.

You will be asked to verify those details again over the next few days to confirm that they are still exactly the same.

You will then be able to use the details you provided to log into the website.

Please remember to make a note of those details in a few places where you will easily be able to find them should you forget them at some point in the future.

I am giving you a link to the Web Guide which has details on Registering so you have an idea of what you should be seeing once you are Level 21 or over:

Thank you so much for looking at my farm tiger. That makes sense as I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting the pop up window thing. I’ll try and level up quickly hopefully before FB remove FT. Fingers crossed.

Hi JNelson & DeniseDJ,
The information about buddies you are looking for is in the Web Guide:
http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6542614#post6542614


You can not have friends in the website so buddies replace those.

Buddies cannot be super neighbors so they can not work on your farms unless you hire for specific jobs.


Any change concerning buddies and neighbors will be posted by the developers here in the first post of this thread. Please do not ask for an ETA as we do not have that information.

[Denise Dianna]

thanks for the information Taz. I did look in the game guide just not in the right place.:cool::confused::eek:

Hi Farmers :)

From Raul notes:

Post Release Updates - April 28th, 6:30PM

- Buddy List screen Improvements (Round 2):

1. Added last activity date and level to each buddy

2. Buddies that are also neighbours will have a blue background

3. Added a blue neighbour icon to each buddy:

a) When the buddy is not your neighbour, you can click this icon to convert that buddy into a neighbour, that farmer will be removed from your buddies and added to your neighbours

b) When the buddy is also your neighbour, you can click this icon to delete that buddy from your neighbours

4. When you remove buddies or when you close and re-open the Buddy List screen, the scroll position is remembered

5. Added a Sorter icon to sort by: Avatar Name, Name, Online Status, Level, Last Active and Neighbour. Also, the sorting ignores non-alphanumeric characters, so it's more accurate.

6. Added stats at the top left showing total buddies and capacity used

7. If the Avatar Name is the same as the Name, then we only show one to reduce clutter

[Charlie Manylayers]

Thanks Raul and entire team.

Hi LisaScobee,

I have moved your question to the thread about the Website details.
When any thing has changed on the website the dev have been adding that information to the first post on page one. Keep an eye on that post for any updates.

[sandy_wmd]

Hi kathyrdr :)

If you close your browser then the next time you try to enter the game you have to log in again.

We dont know if developers will change that at some point.

I'm glad I took the time to read through this thread. My question was also about a "remember me" function so we wouldn't need to log in every time, either as something I was overlooking or something the devs were planning to add. (I only read this far, but I'll go through the rest of the thread in case anything else was mentioned later.)

Hi Sandy_wmd,
There has been no mention by the developers of a remember me for logging into the game being added. As with most secure websites you do have to log in when you go to them.
The only thing you can do to make it easier is to save your log in information in your browser, but that does leave you slightly vulnerable for security. It is up to you if you want to do that.

Hi Dan H,
The markets and inn are still working as meeting places for hiring, so yes it works now on both versions.

[Alexandra_J]

Loving the new website....it's much more faster than the facebook version.

When is the increase for neighbours and buddies going to happen please??

My neighbour list is full (114 neighbours) and my buddy list is getting there slllowwwly lol. It's at 156 buddies (95.9%)

It's a very slow process on trying to get everyone to meet at your farm because of different time zones and schedules and all. Could there be some sort of holding bay for neighbour requests and buddy requests while we are offline, because then we can send buddy and neighbour requests when they are offline and then they can accept when they come back online.

Overall though, it's really good that buddies can do things too now

Hi Dan H,

I know it works now, we are all using it -

What I want to know is this: Should there be a concern that hiring and getting hired, as outlined in my original message, will still work the way it does now on the new website, when FB deactivates FT?

Because in the alert statements, it seems the Bonus Chest will be lost and the emphasis is being placed on making everyone farmers interact with a neighbor or buddy.

Hi Dan H,
No that won't change. Hiring strangers in the markets so the bonuses will stay. It will stay the same way. You go to the Job market, click on someone there who is looking for work and hire them for the job or jobs you have available. You will still see anyone who has entered the markets and inn. You will not be limited to seeing just your neighbors or buddies there.
The emphasis on buddies currently is because your friends (non-neighbors) will no longer be able to work your facilities, send and receive gifts between you and them, etc. So making them buddies instead will allow them to do those things.

Yes, you can reset them to what you had including the extra spaces. Unfortunately, if you log out they reset back to default so you have to redo them all over again when you log back in. The settings are not sticking, so it appears that something has been done to it, it may not have been intentional but something has been done.

Yes, they were fine last night when I went to bed. I just read about the bug from a few days ago when I was trying to find info on the shortcut bar. I didn't experience that issue but this one just started this morning.

ETA, just discovered that the neighbor bar is acting up also. I've had it set to "Order by Super-Neighbor" for a very long time but now when I log in it it's ordered by online status. It's not a big deal to reset (and that setting doesn't stick anymore either) but it's another data point.

Post Release Updates - May 3rd, 1:00PM

- Bugfix: At 8:50AM today we introduced a new bug with a similar consequence to the bug introduced 6 days ago, a significant % of users lost most of their preferences in the game, a fix was released about an hour ago.

This is all related to the updates that must be completed before we are able to expand the neighbour and buddy capacity.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Some of us are unable to have our Super Neighbors plant too. The preferred crop list comes up and the seed list is blank. And yes, I tried clearing the memcache already for the previously mentioned bug.

Hi Qivis

You mean the list of crops when you click in "Any" ?

If memcache has not worked for you, then clear your browser cache and also check if your browser and OS are up to date.

[Qivis]

Hi Qivis

No. I meant that one of my Super Neighbors messaged me that she suddenly was getting no seeds from which to choose. She lives in Madrid (the one in Spain and not the one here we call MADrid) and is therefore a few hours ahead of me in New York. I double checked with another account and he too got a completely blank list of seeds even though I still had all but my the third farm earmarked for Any. (Only fish on farm 3.)

As it happens the solution was the clear the memory cache, reopen the game and select a random crop for every farm in the Super Neighbor Manager, clear the cache again, and then set them all to Any again.

Still beets the original computer bug. That was a beetle keeping a fan from running! That's where the term came from. :D

Hi DeniseDJ,
That was fixed yesterday. Did you reset them yesterday and they are back to default today? 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, try setting them again, then reload again and see if they stay to what you have them set.

Post Release Updates - May 3rd, 1:00PM

- Bugfix: At 8:50AM today we introduced a new bug with a similar consequence to the bug introduced 6 days ago, a significant % of users lost most of their preferences in the game, a fix was released about an hour ago.

Post Release Updates - May 4th, 12:30PM

- Hide duplicated facility posts in 'My Request' tab 'Facility Wall Requests' section.



In regards to "a significant % of users lost most of their preferences in the game, a fix was released about an hour ago."

The "fix" is not fixed. I spent the entire afternoon, yesterday, resetting all of my preferences in my facilities and today, the majority of them have reverted to the default setting ... rechecking almost all items I unchecked yesterday. The ones that stayed the way I set them yesterday are the non-workable facilities.

Yes, I cleared the browser cache as well as the SK Memcache as well as the FB Memcache and I have checked the game on both sites, the new one and FB and the problem is still there on both sites.

Regarding the next statement about hiding the duplicates ... Thank you! I LOVE that new feature.

Hi Farmette GiGi,
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, reset some of your shortcuts and reload again. See if they stay then.

[QUOTE=Taz D;6545542]Hi DeniseDJ,
That was fixed yesterday. Did you reset them yesterday

Today, I found them reset. I came here to complain. Later on I noticed everything was the way it should be again. I am really not sure what happened. Maybe I loaded a cached copy? Don't know, but everything is fine now. Thank you.

Thanks for your response. I have done just that, multiple times, to no avail. Several of my friends are having the same problem. I'll give it one more try tomorrow. Again, thank you.

Hi Farmette GiGi,
It will not reset the previous settings unfortunately but should stop it from changing back to the defaults after you have changed anything.

If you run the memcache, reload your farms, then change one or two shortcuts, then reload again to make sure it doesn't remove those and it still resets to defaults tomorrow let us know and we will send your ID to the developers to check on it.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for hiding duplicate posts on the FarmTown Facilities wall. It has long been a thorn in my side because many farmers post so often that others drop off the bottom of the list and, with the website game, there is no other way to work them when they disappear. You guys are absolutely awesome!!

3. When visiting a farmer, using the new 'Add to Neighbours' icon in the farm owner toolbox at the bottom left.


When I just tried to use this option with two people I need to either make buddies or neighbours, In their toolboxes there was a new icon (greyed out) about Manage Trains but nothing about ' add as neighbour ' ? Am I missing something and looking in the wrong place ?

Hi barbaraelwart,

Adding a Neighbour via the toolbox when you visit someone farms isn't one of the options currently enabled. It may be added in the future.

In that same toolbox the greyed out Train icon is only enabled when you are a super neighbour and have train management permission for that farmer. That one isn't new.

In case you missed this,

Post Release Updates - May 5th, 9:40PM

- The 'Manage' screens for the same users in the user action panel are now consistent, they either all have the Add as Neighbour/Buddy buttons or none of them have it.

[amanda1955]

such a pleasure working farm town on the website you all are doing a fantastic job looking forward to the completion when everything is up and running

[Alexandra_J]

My neighbour list is full and my buddy list is at 33.9% 165 buddies.

My Question is if I add a buddy via facebook will it still count towards my list via the new farmtown website. Going towards 2 websites we tend to lose each other (even though my link via the new website is posted to facebook) I think easier to add buddies via the facebook version of farmtown

Post Release Updates - May 9th, 12:30AM

- The game screen in the website is now 30% wider, this allows to show more farm content and in the future may be expand the neighbours and shortcuts bar at the bottom of the game.

[winna_linna]

Big thank you!! The website is terrific. Things seem so much faster especially when working facs and client facilities. Need the bank to work and the gifts and the way to change the picture. I'm loving it!

[JohnAlbertini]

Hate, hate, hate the wider screen. I usually play split screen and now have to SHRINK FT to see it all. SUCKS!!! And in full screen there is only so much screen anyway so widening doesn't help.

Just creates more BLANK space and moves the stats off screen!!!

[Gary V Deutschmann Sr]

I agree, I hate the wide screen also. Have to recenter it for each farm.

[Charlie Manylayers]

I like the new wider screen. My eyesight is bad and the wider screen allow me to "enlarge" anything i need to read on farm town. Facebooks game room view is totally useless for me. Thanks for the improvements.
For those that think it is too wide just adjust the size in your browser. Mine is 150 to 175 percent om a 27 inch monitor.

[Farmerette GiGi]

How about the larger game screen? I'm loving that! Also love the fact that the duplicate postings are hidden on the facility wall request area! Adding neighbors and buddies is so easy now. Love that! I'm looking forward to all features being added to the game. Great work, y’all.

[texans]

With the screen wider this causes the avatar's picture to be cut off when you work your neighbors factories, can you adjust the avatar likewise?

[Vivienne57]

I love the new game away from FB. It is so much faster when working facilities. I love everything about it and can't wait for it to be fully functional reducing the need to use the FB version as well. I especially like the wider game screen. So much better now. Thanks developers :)

just a guess but "q" stands for quest...

Hi Max river,
Yes the Q means that the farm is a set as a quest farm. If it had a P it would mean the farm is set Private.

[max_river]

ty taz i guess i hit it by mistake

[JudyD1651]

Under My Requests we have 3 subtitles Show My Requests, Show Facility Requests and Other Wall Requests. The Other Wall Requests on mine seems to fill up with posts mostly too many from the same neighbor or two. What if you add more subtitles such as Bonus Requests, Ingredients Requests, and change Other Wall Requests to those who post what they bought such as land expansions, new facilities, and so on?

Good thing Farmtown finally got away from Facebook. Another game I play is having trouble this morning because Facebook is down.

[RIAP27]

I like the wider screen. But I play in full screen most of the time anyway, btu when I need to drop into normal I like that it fills the screen more with no "junk" on the outside. If I need to open another screen for gifting etc I just use tabs.
