New Release -- September 21st, 2024

[Raul]

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last update released on October 10th, 2:15PM.

Hi There,

1. Last 9 Farm Expansions for Farm 48: See prices below: En Español AQUI (https://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=666358)

Upgrade 44 x 44: 86 Billion Coins or 50 Farm Cash
Upgrade 46 x 46: 87 Billion Coins or 50 Farm Cash
Upgrade 48 x 48: 88 Billion Coins or 50 Farm Cash
Upgrade 50 x 50: 89 Billion Coins or 50 Farm Cash
Upgrade 52 x 52: 90 Billion Coins or 60 Farm Cash
Upgrade 54 x 54: 100 Billion Coins or 60 Farm Cash
Upgrade 56 x 56: 110 Billion Coins or 60 Farm Cash
Upgrade 58 x 58: 120 Billion Coins or 60 Farm Cash
Upgrade 60 x 60: 130 Billion Coins or 60 Farm Cash

2. Belts and Dans for 11 Facilities: Cidery, Specialty Vodka Distillery, Incense Sticks Factory, Vet Supplies Factory, Frozen Yogurt Factory, Quilt Factory, Frozen Yogurt Shop, International Dog House, Bank Supplies Factory, Pickles and Relish Factory and Computer Supplies Factory.

3. Less cluttering in Toolbox: Removed the big numbers under the icons and added an 'ex' text for those tools that work in Extended Mode. Also, when you mouse over each icon we show the exact same tool description you see in the store, so you have a better idea of their sizes.

4. Added left and right arrows to the Farm Selector: These arrows make it easier to navigate to the next or previous farm.

5. When sending Farm Pass FC reward to your top 5 helpers those that have already earned 3 FC from that reward will not show up on the list: This way you will not send FC to a farmer that cannot receive it.

6. New 'Last Planted' filter when selecting which crop to plant: This will show the latest 20 crops that you have planted using seeders and combines, not the re-planter, the most recent first.

7. Other Minor Improvements:

a) Only show Belt and Dans notifications during a Start All at the very end

b) The color sections in a farm button in the Show Work Info screen are now visible even when just a few products are ready on that farm

c) In the Farm Stats screen, when drilling down in a product that is present in different farms, we added a new sort to show the farms by farm selector order

d) In the Farm Stats screen, added the ? sign to open the help system for that product

e) Bugfix: When using the Sell Selected / Sell Half and Sell All options in the market, the total coins in the header sometimes didn't match the total coins in the message box confirmation text

8. Other Improvements from a few weeks ago:

a) Inside a facility screen, the do all button at the top now shows in pink in you don't own the correspondent tool to use it

b) Inside a facility screen, the 'Start Batch' button on each product now shows in pink if you don't have enough ingredients to make that product. When the 'Start Batch' button is blue and grayed out it means that you have reached capacity and cannot produce more so you cannot click on it.

c) When the rounded status buttons at the market are not selected we still color the perimeter of the circle so this serve as a cue when interpreting the label colors of other farmers

d) New "I'm looking for Neighbours" status button in both markets

9. Turbo Spice Factory (FC): Produces 3 times More Spices.

10. Turbo Winery (FC): Produces 3 times More non-aged Wine and Cider.

11. Pickles and Relish Factory (FC): Produces Pickles and Relishes.

Pickle Relish
Cranberry Relish
Mango Chutney

12. Computer Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Computer Supplies.

Case Cooling Fan

Plastic Spudger Set
USB Testing Tool

13. Pickles and Relish Store (FC): Provides Pickles and Relishes Retail Services and can be stocked with products from the Pickles and Relish Factory.

14. Computer Repair Shop (Coins): Provides Computer Repair Services and can be stocked with products from the Computer Supplies Factory.

Enjoy!

Thanks Raul and team!

[bruhelmboldt]

Thanks, Raul and Development Team. Looks great as always.

[rockcandymountain]

Ok, in all the years I've played this, I've never said anything about new features on being added. But, this time? In the tool box, there, IMO, was no need to put EX next to all tools that are EX tools. I. for one got to the top and choose the largest tool EVERY time.
The other thing that, to me, doesn't help, is the arrows next to the farm selector. I don't plant left to right, I plant up and down. I wish they would let us have a choice as to what pops up on our screens.

[marymarcel]

Thank you so much Raul and team :)

I don't see EX next to any of my tools and I have them all too. I use the largest too as well but there are times I like a smaller tool. The arrows are great for someone who does not have the mayor do the factories. It is less clicking for that person. I plant left to right so that may or may not help.

Hi Country Girl,
The EX is on the Extended tools in the toolbox. If you do not see those you may need to reload your game.

[Tiger]

Thanks very much Raul and all the team :)

[illusions_fan1]

Here to talk about the same toolbox thing above... I appreciate tbe 32x32 info and whatnot but for the Multiplanter especially I prefer the quantity of items as opposed to the area it plants in this helps us know if we have enough trees on hand for a neat planting and won't end up with like 57 trees (or flowers) short or whatever... please reconsider this change!

[*Country Girl]

Hi Country Girl,

I see them after reloading...I think they are unnecessary. Just makes it look cluttered.

Hi Illusions fan,
The Multiplanters and transplanters still have the amounts on them. Those did not change.

[kirby555]

hi will we see anymore crops soon we only got one in 2 years do u need any ideas to help

[linga1941]

Agreed! Arrows are not needed.

LOL! Sorry Taz I believe I made the mistake of reading the text that appears when hovering over them when I checked - oops! :o

[KnittyGirl]

Thank you Raul and team!! You are all the best! Love all the new stuff!!!! Thanks again.

[bjyhey3]

Thank you Raul and your team

[GoalieAunt]

I've wanted a way to know what size areas the various harvest/plow/plant combines worked. I was visualizing numbers like the other tools had, but I like the mouse overs better.

[Lara]

Thanks Raul & team

[marythies]

Thank you Developers. Great update as normal. :)

[VondaK]

Thank you so much for a great game, improvements, and new stuff. Farm Town is special to me and so are you all.
Thank you again.

[hilda jean ellis]

thank you Raul and team :)

[Lulou]

Thanks for the new update! I was happy to see the tools in the toolbox marked more clearly with the EX. It helps to go to the tool you are looking for with out experimenting. You do a great job!

I don't much like the way the arrows look either, and would never use them. Could you please either make them optional, or at least less intrusive?

[Zeeky Banutski]

I must say - nice job with the new update!

However, once again I have questions because I can never find what I’m looking for even when I use the search function and/or search the game guides.

Where do I locate the “farm stats screen”? I’m looking to identify on what farms certain items are located & how many there are so that I can choose which item from the “gift” list that I need…

Hi Zeeky,
The farm stats is in your tool box in the 2nd to the left column just about the Show Times icon (clock).

[Walkies]

Thank you very much for all the thought that goes into your updates.
However
it looks like the ingredients planner isn't working properly. It works on individual facilities but not when you are trying to get them all to show up
And I thought we were due a 'more levels' update this month?? Perhaps towards the end of September??
Thank you!!

Hi Walkies,
We are aware of that and it has been reported to the developers.

[Zeeky Banutski]

OK — let me be a little more specific as I’d looked at that - it does not help me search for what I’m looking for…

This is an example - I’m looking to identify how many & on what farms I have Cherry trees…

Hi Zeeky,
There isn't any way to do that specifically. You can set the Farm Stat to trees growing and then click on cherries and it will show you a list of farms and how many are on each farm. If it is only 1 farm then it will have a Go button in it.

[radjah5]

Thank you very much for the update and all the work done after it.

[Snookie Sue]

Agreed! Arrows are not needed.

I really wish those new distracting arrows would go back to where they came from as they are practically worthless. You don't have to come up with new things every single time - we really appreciate all you do - you devs are great. The best thing ever for me was that replant same crops tool. Worst ever - those really not worth their cost increasing fodder amount facilities. Hate them.

[Grumpy Old Man 1]

it was my birthday yesterday ........... thanks for the updates as a birthday present! lol

[Sonytone]

Thank you all so much Raul and Team!

[BReiman]

I don't like the new EX next to the tools either. It clutters up the tool box and those of us that have played for years just find it distracting. Having that extra box telling what size the tool is, is another nuisance. I believe that the tool box should have been left as it was. I also do not see any need for the arrows. Just my opinion, but thanks for listening.

[Joyinlife]

The other thing that, to me, doesn't help, is the arrows next to the farm selector. I don't plant left to right, I plant up and down. I wish they would let us have a choice as to what pops up on our screens. I agree on both. But ty all for your hard work.

[♪Jeanne♪]

Thank you for the update and all the hard work. That being said, the arrows are annoying and the EX notation is of no use.

"When sending Farm Pass FC reward to your top 5 helpers those that have already earned 3 FC from that reward will not show up on the list:"

Is this something I missed or misunderstand? Not at all familiar with sending Farm Pass FC rewards? Can you point me to an explanation on this? TYVM

Hi John,
It is in the Game Guide chapter 34 about the Farm Pass:

[JohnAlbertini]

Never mind found it. I never buy Farm Pass so does not apply!

[Palmarina]

Thank you all for your work.
Love the new facilities!

[Qivis]

Thanks for the latest updates. I wonder if anyone else has noticed the arrows make the farm navigator look like a face?!? :D

[Qivis]

it was my birthday yesterday ........... thanks for the updates as a birthday present! lol

[MammaKanode]

Please change the tool box back to where it was before. It's like learning it all over again, and it's not nearly as helpful! Most of the changes are easy to adjust to, this one is just not! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[Qivis]

Seems the release was right on time since there is a hurricane bearing down on Florida. Stay safe, Raul et al. Thankfully the server farms are elsewhere.

[Tom C]

I do not like the new toolbox

[marymarcel]

Hi Farmers :)

The old Halloween decorations have been released.

[Tom C]

[Santmyer]

Kudos to rolling out features throughout the month instead of all at once.

[bruhelmboldt]

Love the irrigation color change: Such a small thing is a B I G help to me!

[dofford]

Agreed! Arrows are not needed.
The arrows are used to move from farm to farm like from Farm 01 to Farm 02 or from Farm 04 to Farm 05.
I use this feature al the time as I get erroneous Farms some times like instead of FArm 04, I will end up on Farm 48.
I like this new feature.

[Kahra273]

You don't have to come up with new things every single time - we really appreciate all you do - you devs are great. The best thing ever for me was that replant same crops tool. Worst ever - those really not worth their cost increasing fodder amount facilities. Hate them.
I think the arrows are great. For people like me, with arthritis, its much easier to click on the bigger arrows than it is the small diamond shape, Very insightful of the devs :)

[JNelson]

moving long standing game features around messes up the flow of playing,,, please stop, be nice if ingredient planner and trains went back to their normal place..... rant over

[petals]

The changes that are rolled out keep the game interesting. The arrows to move farms make it easier. I know some people don't like changes,but I do. .0

[GoalieAunt]

I love the change to the train manager. I thought it might take me a bit longer to get used to but it didn't. I like that the default is now boosting trains because I do that many times a day and don't send out trains more than once a day (or week). Now trains and ships have the same layout (others/mine) instead of 2 different tab orders. And I love that the farm name changes when the farm is irrigated. Now I won't accidently plant a long term crop on a farm that my SN recently irrigated (sometimes she misses harvesting a farm).

[illusions_fan1]

I love the name colour change for irrigation! and the less offensive grey X to the red EX on tools lol and the change for trains as well I had a habit of opening because of the notifications and then getting distracted by my own train/s that had returned and closing the window and then seeing the notification still there and realising that I hadn't done my neighbours trains now I won't have that issue! lol

[Lila63]

Thanks for all you do. Are we getting new levels for Oct?

[marymarcel]

Thanks for all you do. Are we getting new levels for Oct?

Hi Lila :)

Only the developers know and they dont tell us in advance.
