New Release -- May 23rd, 2023

[Raul]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last update released on June 13th, 8:40PM.

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=662758)

1. 25 New Levels: 13 new decorations in the Motion, Furniture, Farm Decor, Buildings and Other categories in the Store.

2. 60 x 60 farm expansions for Farms 12 through 22: Prices are 60 Farm Cash or 120 billion coins.

3. Log Truck w/ Chainsaw 44 x 44: Chop up to 1936 trees at once.

4. 5 Regular Crop Tools 24 x 24: Work up to 576 non-overlapped crop fields at once. Next month we will release 28 x 28 versions, skipping the 26 x 26, for the same price.

5. 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 point 6.3 below.

6. 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.

6.1. 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

6.2. 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

6.3. 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

7. Other Minor Improvements:

Bugfix: Missing avatar picture when opening an offline message
Bugfix: Mouse wheel scrolling in offline messages screen too slow
Bugfix: Removing a neighbour which is also a Super Neighbour sometimes allowed that Super Neighbour to continue working your farms
Bugfix: Manure spreader and Irrigator farm selector screen not highlighting in orange the current tab at the top

8. Other Improvements released in the past few weeks:

- 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.
- Hide duplicated facility posts from the same farmer in 'My Request' -> 'Facility Wall Requests' section
- Increased the maximum amount of posts shown in 'My Requests' -> 'Wall Requests' sections from 100 to 150

9. The new Facilities will be released next month since we are still very busy finishing the new website. We are currently working on sending and receiving gifts.

Enjoy!

- After reporting or ignoring a farmer, you will not receive any more neighbour or buddy requests from that farmer

- If you have reported or ignored a farmer in the past, that farmer will show a new 'Unblock' icon if it's present in your Farmer Lists screen. Also, if you visit her farms, we will also show the 'Unblock' icon at the bottom left of the screen. The icon looks like a red circle with a green diagonal line inside.

- Completely removed the old 4 arrows directional icon from the game interface, replaced by the yellow hand tool

Known Issues:

- None.

Thanks Raul and team!

[Denise Dianna]

I am looking forward to seeing what is new! Thank you Raul.

[Lara]

thanks Raul, looking forward to the details

[Farmer_Susan]

Cool new neighbors & buddies tools! Haven't looked beyond that. But very nice - I found some buddies who haven't played since 2010! I'll have more room for both neighbors and buddies soon.

[Mister-T]

Also noticed the updated neighbor and buddy tools. My FB friends have all ceased playing the game or have moved up the celestial version. Likely be seeking new neighbors as well.

[marymarcel]

Thanks a lot Raul and team! :)

[Farmer_Susan]

"Celestial version" - yes, unfortunately, I have some of those, too. One of them was on my Buddy List. I removed her from my neighbor's list when she died but I didn't know she was also a buddy. I visited her farm and was surprised to see that all of her beautiful farms had been redone for only crops, trees and flowers. No designer farms at all. That's why I had originally friended her - her farms were so beautiful that I enjoyed looking at them. I can for sure understand why people close to her might have decided to keep her farms, but not sure why they would go to the trouble to remove everything. Nothing was planted.

Anyway - I'm just rambling. I'm still not sure what the differences between neighbors and buddies will be. Maybe we'll learn that when Raul posts the rest of this update. But for SURE I have tons of room for buddies now and still a few spots left for neighbors if anyone wants to add me.

[buffaloboy]

hi

and also for working so hard to migrate the game into
the new website and this in such a short time

a big big thank you

[BarbLH]

Thanks, Raul & team. Great work! Love the web version.

[Aussie Rae]

Game is OFFLINE again.... please remove if this is in the wrong area, thank you, :)

[Rob T]

We are aware the chat server has gone down and have informed the developers. You are still able to work your farms, facilities, gifts and everything as normal. The only thing you can't do is chat, get hired or be hired. Everything else will still work.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this.

Thank You

[Lara]

I was just coming to say the same as Aussie Rae, the game has gone OFFLINE again. Edit: I didn't see Rob T's response until after I posted. So thanks for the info

[Aussie Rae]

I have found that I cannot add new friends as neighbors or buddys at the moment, even after doing the memcache ( both versions for both games/web and fb) its late now so I am off to bed and will check in the morning.. farming can wait til then, lol

[Alexandra_J]

Game is offline again.

Loving the new update though and thanks for listening about the May 24 date instead of 5/24 in the farmer list. It will help :)

[Early Girl]

I want to thank the devs and all the team for everything they have done with the game. Especially in the last 12 hours - it's amazing! You have created a social media platform for Farmers! I knew it was coming, but never imagined we would get so much, so quickly. THANK YOU!

[Tiger]

We are back online folks, thank you for your patience!

Please Reload the game to go back online!

Thanks for the new update, can't wait to see...always exciting. Also, thank you for all the hard work you and your team do to get this game into the new website. Always appreciate all you do

[Palmarina]

Hi, thanks for the update!
I explored the new neighbour/buddy tool and saw that a new buddy, who was online, showed Jan 1 1970 as date. I'll ad a print screen. All the other buddies showed the correct year 2023.

Hi Palmarina,
Try reloading the game first and see if that corrects it


If it doesn't then please send this to Support as we have no way through the forums of checking these.

[Palmarina]

Hi Taz, I cleared memcache, browse history and macromedia files and restarted the game. Now the date is correct! Thanks for your advice!

I believe I found it and LOVE it!! Many, many THANKS to everyone!! WOO HOO!!

[Bratuski]

Thanks Raul,
Hope you have some new levels for us oldtimers.

[Charlie Manylayers]

Love the updates, thank you Raul and entire team.
I have accepted new buddies that were indicate as incoming request, chaned neighbors to buddies and vise-versa. Also added neihjbors and buddies from griends farms and expanded a farm 15 to 60X60. That all wprks as it should.

Only problem I found was with my farm account that has over 2,000 active facebookfarmtown friends and neighbors that arecurrent farmtowb players as per the pld 'My Neighbors' information. In teh New Neighbors/Buddies, Neighbois and Biddies are listed properly. The Facebook Friends List, only has the message 'You hane 0 facebook friends...'., even though most all existing Neighbors and Friends are existing facebook friends and there are none displayed.

I have cleared mem-cache, rebooted, tried a different browser and retried hours later with no improvement.
USER ID number is: 127828495690108

Thank you.

Hi Charlie Manylayers,
We have reported this to the developers as we have a couple of mods with the same 0 friends listed. It all depends on how many they can get from your Facebook friends list and if they have played in the last year.

[Charlie Manylayers]

Thanks TAAZ for the quick reply. I realize I will not be able to gave them al as my Neighbor or Buddies, but many of them already have me as a Neighbor fopr a king tine. I realize thus may take a while to fix..

Did I miss the details of the new release? Can't seem to find them anywhere

[Alexandra_J]

Added a new facebook friend last night, cleared my farmtown memcache and I can't find them via the new website. I had to go via facebook to add them as a buddy.

Hi GRB,

The have not been added to the first post on page one yet, you will see them there when they are.

Hi Alexandra,

Although clearing memcache can help in a lot of cases when adding new friends on Facebook, sometimes there can still be a delay in them showing up, that's nothing new. The game is still trying to update who new friends are to the website daily, but that won't be instant. Did you close both versions of the game after clearing memcache before looking for them again? If not please try that next time.

You can also try the memcache link for the website if it happens again and see if that helps them show up on the website a little quicker. If that doesn't help either, give it a couple of days and see if they show up.
Both memcache links are in the usual place should you need them, here's the link to that post:

When in facilities manager we can see the stats for the first time we clear(I.e. move to storage) but the remaining items to clear don't show the rest of the stats.

Hi MNWildOne :)

We have reported this issue to the developers, please be patient while the check on it.

[JohnAlbertini]

So when will we get details? It has been 38+ hours since this was announced.

I'm assuming there will be NOTHING of ANY value to me as there RARELY is.

WHEN will we get BIGGER non-ex combines, etc? We haven't gotten anything since the 22x back in April of 2020 (OVER THREE YEARS AGO) when 41 farms maxxed at 50x which was 66x66 plots. We now have 44 farms maxxed at 60x which is 80x80 plots. I've REPEATEDLY suggested bigger tools for us non-layer players!!! Yet those who layer keep getting bigger and bigger tools which are USELESS to me.

It would be nice to know if any new crops, trees or facility items will be involved in the new release so we could start preparing for any new restaurants or factories.

Why do I have to use full screen to do anything on the game? If I don't click on full screen as soon as the game loads, I can't navigate at all. This started this morning, was fine yesterday.

Hi Kathyrdr :)

Please check if anything changed for your browser zoom level.

Also check if using another browser you get the same problem.

Be sure your browser and operation systems are up to date. After doing an update is always better to restart your computer.

Nothing has changed in browser or zoom. and I don't use any other browsers. My PC and browser are up to date, just checked.

One thing I noticed is this is not affecting anything but Facebook games. I have one other facebook game I play and it too is affected. My non facebook games come up just fine as do all the other sites I visit on the internet. Hope this helps.

Hi Kathyrdr :)

If you are using Facebook, then is it possible you are saying a black background with facebook games to the right of the game screen?

If that is what you see, then that is a change made by Facebook. You can click in the little arrow to the upper right of the screen. That way you will only see the game screen.
Sadly you have to do that everytime you load your farms or go to other farms.

I still use facebook as that's the only way I seem to be able to send and recieve gifts. The last time I tried using slashkey there was a notice about gifts, but no gifts, lol

Yes, we have to do the gifts through facebook but after that you can continue playing in the Websie.

[Farmer_Susan]

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get neighbors for my cat's account. I see this:

<< 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

But my cat is a new user (Level 504) - how would she visit farms or get offline messages? I'd just as soon not go through FB although I did post there last night - no results so far. Should I create a Forum account for her? I'm asking for myself, obviously, but also wondering in general how to help new users get started in FT. I could leave messages for my current neighbors - that's time consuming but one way to do it, I guess. But even there, I only know how to ask for neighbors via FB. Our Farm URLs don't seem to be unique - just the un/pw. So I can't post a URL to her farm and ask people to visit and send requests.

Help?

Hi Susan :)

No matter her level, she could go to market to be hired or hire, or use the option to meet new farmers at market.

That way she could make a conection with other farmers. If she is hired, then she could try the visitor toolbox or send a message and if it is responded then use the icons there.

While we are still in Facebook, then some of your own friends could send her a friend request and then become into neighbors.

In case she has a problem, you can use your own forum account to post it but providing her id number.

EXCELLENT idea about her going to market! I'll try that. I think her farm ID is 100003545226144. But can people here in the forum use that to go to her farm?

I thought I was all set. I used the URL from your PM and sent it to a handful of neighbors. They're telling me that it just takes them to a login page - they're not sure how to use that to add her and I don't know what to tell them. Obviously, at one time I understood how to do this because I've got links to my own farms in my Forum Signature. But that was 10-12 years ago. Got purged from my memory banks a long time ago. I went to Edit Signature thinking I could get a memory jog but I had turned all of my farm URLs into tinyURLs, so that didn't help!

Can you give me some more pointers, please?

Hi amanda :)

The percentage amount is not based on the number of neighbors you have. it is based on the number of spaces used versus spaces left in the database that holds those.
The Neighbors Limit is based on how many digits the database can hold, it varies because not all IDs are the same length. ID's are normally 8 to 15 characters in length.

[sir winalot]

Loving the new website, so much faster and cleaner! Thank you so much for the farmers list, it makes it so easy to add and clean up the lists of friends, buddies and neighbours! I cleared a host of ppl from the buddy list that were also neighbours, so now got lots of room for new buddies! So impressed with all you are doing, thank you so much, and looking forward to the gifts section, when it comes, as I am sure that will be just as good!

[EireneM]

Many thanks Raul and Team you have all been working so hard for us

[Walkies]

Thank you all very much for all your hard work. The website version is wonderful with all the things we can do now that we couldn't before.
First you had to rewrite the whole game for Unity instead of Flash and now you're reworking the whole thing again for the (much better!!!) website. Wow! you deserve a medal or two!

Once I fill my neighbor list(currently at 134 neighbors/97.8% capacity) I will start purging some old players from my list to get current players as neighbors. Any idea if that percentage will increase again? I was under the impression that we would be able to have 500 neighbors/buddies. I don't have any buddies so maybe I need to redirect to that.

Hi MNWildOne :)

We dont know if developers will increase the amount of neighbors and buddies in the future.

You can have about 500 in total, between neighbors and buddies.

And yes, you should check which ones still play the game and if they dont then you can remove them from your neighbors to be able to add new ones.
Also, depending on which features of the game you need them for, then you can delete some as neighbors but add them as buddies.

Hi farmers :)

From Raul notes for the New Release:

Post Release Updates - June 3rd, 2:10PM

[Alexm2012]

Hi Alexm2012,

Please provide more information for the devs about what it is that you do not like about the wider game screen, if it's causing you any problems, what those are and your monitor screen size.

[Alexm2012]

my screen is a samsung 32"inch display HD so the bigger farm now makes it more difficult for my eyes to focus i already suffer with bad eyes so this makes it even harder for my eyes to be able to focus just on the screen when im trying to do day to day farming stuff hence why i have cut down on how much time i spend farming because its causing pain in my eyes i hope they give us the option to revert back to the old size as this suited me 1000% better and my eyes.

Hi Alexm,
Try shrinking the size of your browser window. Also could use a lower zoom level for that tab. They haven't changed the farm size, just widened the game screen to spread the things around the side out.

[Bandida Nina]

I want to thank everyone involved with this endeavor, including the Admins who show more patience than I ever could. :) I have to force myself to sign into Facebook just to send gifts.

[marymarcel]

Hi bluehair :)

We sent an email to the developers about this problem.

[Vivienne57]

Please don't alter the size of the new bigger ft screen. I love it, it's just the right size. I don't understand why people are complaining about it but hopefully it's just one or two players. I think it's great :)

[Denise Dianna]

[beverduster]

[al_bundy]

[ajjeni]

thanks for all the hard work you all put into our favorite game....even in my kids think i'm lame for playing it.

[Tiger]

Hi SirMatthew KC,

Regular crop tools means that they are not EX tools for working overlapped crops. Tools for working overlapped crops always have EX in the tool name.

[Tiger]

Hi al_bundy,

Are you only using the Website to play Farm Town?

The website can not get your data about who your Facebook friends are if you are not also occasionally loading the game on Facebook.

Hi JNelson,

In order to purchase the EX tools, you must have up to and including the 16x16 regular tools.

[marymarcel]

Sorry folks, we were busy and had no time to post this earlier, our apologies....

Hi Alexm :)

Developers are still working on that, hopefully we will get them sooner than later :)

Hi farmers :)

From Raul's notes for the New Release:

Post Release Updates - June 11th, 3:15PM

- Bugfix: Broken link Account -> Farm Cash Activity Log -> View my purchase history inside all Facebook Apps

- Added picture, avatar name, real name and last activity to the Account -> Blocked Users tab

[Palmarina]

Hi, I went to see that "Blocked Users" tab.
There are people I have never heard of, I can't remember that I ever blocked them!
What is this list exactly?

[Tiger]

Hi Palmarina,

They are farmers that you have blocked in the game to stop seeing them or hearing from them. This is not new it's been around for years, so you may have done it a very long time ago. You may have blocked them by clicking on their avatar and using the ignore or by using ignore/report icons in areas like the chat box or in game messages.

All that's happened is that the blocked users area has been updated to fix things like missing pictures, names and some more information added as it wasn't as easy to tell which farmer was which, when you only wanted to temporarily block someone and then remove it later on.

[Palmarina]

Hi Tiger, thanks for the clarification. :)

Raul has posted an update:
Post Release Updates - June 13th, 8:40PM

- Bugfix: Sometimes after removing yourself from another farmer neighbours or buddies you still remained her neighbour or buddy

- Bugfix: Sometimes Super Neighbours hired for design on a certain farm could not delete items on that farm

- After reporting or ignoring a farmer, you will not receive any more neighbour or buddy requests from that farmer

- If you have reported or ignored a farmer in the past, that farmer will show a new 'Unblock' icon if it's present in your Farmer Lists screen. Also, if you visit her farms, we will also show the 'Unblock' icon at the bottom left of the screen. The icon looks like a red circle with a green diagonal line inside.

- Completely removed the old 4 arrows directional icon from the game interface, replaced by the yellow hand tool

[Palmarina]

A big thank you for fixing my problem!!!

Hi Famer Charlie,
You will only see it on the tool bar if you still had the 4 arrows icon on it. The yellow hand replaced that icon. If you had already removed it and replaced with something else then you won't see it there. It will instead be only in your tool box.

Hi ijago,

Click on the Account tab at the top of your game screen.
Then click on Blocked Users.

When we take a picture of our facebook based farmtown farm, it is sent to out facebook farmtown album. The slashkey farmtown also prompts us to take a picture that will be in our farmtown album. Does that farmtown album exist now, if so how do we access it?

If the farntown album is to be setup by the developers at some point, why not not let us know it is not functional yet, or if it is functional, how do we access it.

Thank you.

Hi Charlie Manylayers,
It is not set up on the website currently. I don't think they have decided how they are going to do those yet.
