I love the new release but you have given us a huge new need for honey. ARGH!!! I have six bee farms and four turbo bee farms and I didn't have enough honey before the Cidery. Please increase honey in a jar production.

[Walkies]

Thank you very much, especially for changes with corn crop and fish!!

[penguin66]

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems buying the new farm pass?

[Taz D]

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems buying the new farm pass?
Hi Penguin,
I didn't have any problem buying after reloading the farms.

[Serenity Dilsworth]

I reread the announcement. I don't see anything about removing the farm pass. But I also don't see one available and I am ready to work my farms. There is no option for the farm pass. Is this just an April's Fool's joke? Or am I being impatient. LOL

Serenity Dilsworth aka Owl
Merrymeet Farms


Never mind, logging out and back in fixed the issue. I am an idiot.

[penguin66]

Hi Penguin,
I didn't have any problem buying after reloading the farms.

I am still not able to purchase the farm pass. I get the window that shows Configuring Store and then a second window opens with the following message: "Farm Pass Purchase status Unknown, please wait 10 minutes, then reload the game and try again to avoid a double charge." This is the same message I got last night. I have closed FarmTown, closed my browser, shut off my computer, and run the memcache cleaner. I guess I'm not supposed to buy the farm pass this month.

[shannt]

I use to be able to buy the gifts for the farm pass in the store but they are no longer there. Were they removed? Things like the white swamp oak, hemlock...

Hi shannt :)

Those trees are not in the store.

While you are getting more points for your farm pass feature, then you get some farm pass decorations (trees, animals, buildings etc) as a reward.

When you claim those decorations, they are sent to your Storage.

Click in your Storage and then click in Items tab. Set your storage to Seasonal-Farm Pass and you will find them there.

If you place them on your farms, then you can click on them and buy one or multiple.

To find them easily on your farms, click in your preferences, the wrench, and put a check mark in Show Farm Pass Decors. Then click in the green check mark to save changes.

[Sonytone]

Hi Dr. Dirt :)

You need to have more than 100 gifts showing up in Pending tab.
Then you have to exchange the first 100 gifts and accept them.

Hi All :)

From Raul's notes for the New Release:

Post Release Updates - April 9th, 2:40PM

- Released 25 new levels, 13 new decorations added to the Trees and Buildings categories in the store.

[Qivis]

Last week someone did not re-read this thread and demanded to know where the updates were on Facebook. Since I did not see her complaint until they actually were released I replied that aliens brought the new levels with them during their landing {undercover from the eclipse} and it just took Raul and the team a while to unload the ship. :p Anyway, thanks for all the new features. Now if I could just find a way to spend 55 of my 56 trillion coins.

[Taz D]

Hi Kirby,
If you have a suggestion for specific new crops and uses for them please post it in the Suggestions section where we organize those by subject for the developers to see. You can not start a new thread in that section but you can reply to one that fits your suggestion.

[Enigmacross]

- 5 more facility filters in the Item Storage screen: Regular Coins - Regular FarmCash - Service Coins - Service FarmCash - Non Workable by Friends

I see these filters in the items section, but I don't know how to store them in those sections. Have these instructions been posted somewhere?

Hi Enigmacross,
You store them the same way you always have. The filters are only for sorting them when you want to look at a specific type. You do not have to pick a section to store them in.

[Taz D]
