It will work the same way as the current Farm Pass, however some of the goals and rewards may be different, for example, one privilege reward will be the capability to revive crops that have gone to waste in some of your farms.

[Grumpy Old Man 1]

Thank you, thank you! it's an early Christmas present :-)

[bjyhey3]

Thank you Raul and team...Early Christmas present

[lynnetimpeiro@msn.com]

Can't wait to see the details -- THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!!

[marythies]

Wow. Thank you for the updates. The Farm Pass 2 sounds very interesting. Can't wait. :)

[GrammieRee]

So excited for the 2nd Farm Pass!!
Do you have any plans to make a "search all farms" option
so it's easier to find a certain tree or flower for Farm Pass?

[suemack]

Thanks so much Raul and team

[Missy Lou]

excellent ty
looking forward to the rest

[pjgerman@tx.rr.com]

I love the new upgrades--they will be lots of fun.
Is it possible that there is a bug in fishing? We could make the "ponds" disappear as tgey were fished. Now they just remain there, making us wonder if we actually fished there. Where there is stacking, you can't tell where the range of the boat stops.

that already exists in the show names
if you own the mobile lookout tower you can also use this option on farms you are super neighbored to
you can also see what is where in your show farm stats in your toolbox

this already exists,, open and close the eye icon

[Robby Rob]

Unexpected use of the camels (I was always thinking their hair) but cool just the same. Hopefully peppermint will make its way into the candy facility(the one with the gummy bears in it).

[JohnAlbertini]

Once AGAIN EXTREMELY disappointed that those who layer crops get bigger tools and we who do not layer must still SUFFER with smaller, less functional tools!!!

When will we get 32x32 H/P/P tools that function like the, flower harvester, logging, tree shaker tools?!!!!

The EX tools are USELESS to us!!!

[Snookie Sue]

Overlapping used to be frowned upon and now those folks who choose to do so are those who get rewarded. Very disappointed. I was hoping the new tools would be for those who play using the straightforward method. It has been a long time. The farms keep expanding but the traditional tools don't. :(

[sgsmith]

Thank you Raul and Team.

[Taz D]

Hi All,
If you want to make a suggestion please post it in the Suggestion section where we organize them by subject for the developers to view and not in the current release thread.

[JudyD1651]

Thanks! Tools are my favorite things, but I have to say the little things that you come up with that make the game easier are the best. Merry Christmas!

[Gertrude's Dude Ranch]

Just wanted to say this employee employer stuff is insulting.

[GoalieAunt]

Just wanted to say this employee employer stuff is insulting.
I find it very helpful. I now know if the Thank you messages I'm getting are from the people that I hire, the person that I did work for or one of my friends saying thank you for the goodies they got from my facilities.

Edit: I was just in the Trade Market at the same time as a Super Neighbor and her message to everone was labeled as <employee> and that was annoying and not useful.

[ElyseP]

Thank you all the team. Looking forward to playing this farmpass 2.

[GrammieRee]

that already exists in the show names
if you own the mobile lookout tower you can also use this option on farms you are super neighbored to
you can also see what is where in your show farm stats in your toolbox

That shows like where chop trees are or where flowers are, etc.
It doesn't let you search for a specific tree or flower.
And using search tool you have to go to each farm individually.. :(

Hi Grammie Ree,
You can see the individual types in the Show Farm Stats.

If you want to make a suggestion for a search capability please post it in the Suggestions section where we organize those by subject for the developers to see.

[dolilla2004]

[JNelson]

choose what your looking for in the color tabs, example hit the TH , like if you want to harvest cherry trees for a pass,,, then choose show product name,, then hover your mouse over the fields that show up,, that tells you which trees are on that field,, makes it very easy to find what specific you are looking for

Hi All :)

From Raul's notes for the New Release:

Post Release Updates - December 13th, 5:50PM

- The 2 new coin facilities, Farm Machinery Supplies and Agricultural Service Center will be released next week.

[Mrs Borgies]

I've been a passionate supporter of Farm Town, playing since 2009 and even investing real money into the game. I fully understand that it’s a business with overhead costs to manage.

Unfortunately, I feel that coin facilities are now being treated as unimportant to those who can't afford to spend money freely. There was a time when coin facilities were released alongside cash facilities, giving all players something exciting to look forward to. Sadly, it feels like those of us who can’t or choose not to spend as much money are becoming the forgotten players.

Please make us feel important to this game again.

[gpjones7]

You mentioned 2 weeks ago that you would be coming out with 2 new facility/service within the next 2 weeks. It would be nice if you released the FC service/facilities at the same time you released the cash ones. I know you earning cash is more important than our getting things for our pretend cash, but this is not the first time you have done this. And according to your plans you intend to have another Guest Plass out on the 15th which also will earn you more real money. Could you please take the time and release the free facility/service buildings? I can no longer afford to spend real money on the game but I have spent a lot in the past. I have many, many, many tools that are no longer of any value as we have to upgrade our tools. Thank you.

Hi Mrs Borgies and gpjones,
If they had been able to release the coin facilities at the same time as they usually do then they would have. There have been a couple problems that had to be worked out which took them away from completing those facilities. Please be patient until they can get them ready to release.

[Rick44230]

Just a suggestion. Now that we have camel milk it would be nice if the Long Animal Products Car would carry camel milk also.

Is the Farm Pass 2 going to cost extra? Will it make it worth it to purchase if it is? I would prefer that the first one be extended to more than 600 points if the Farm Pass 2 is going to be extra. But that's me :(

Hi RFMad,
That you will have to wait and see when they release it and see if you think it is worth it to do as in all things in the game.
We will not have any details on it until it is released.

Farm Pass 2? Sounds like another way to get me to spend more $$$

Gee I'm so gullible! :D

Sounds like fun though. The "revive crops" thing sounds great as I tend to forget about mine and they go to waste frequently. Especially the short-term crops. I hope to see it happen and I'd definitely be looking forward to it.

Maybe if you got 700/800 pts you could qualify for another 3 or 4 FC? Sure would be nice and it would be fun to try to reach the goal. Just a thought.

Have a great day everyone! :)

[wvmilkman]

Thanks for the new coin facilities and love that you added clear memcache to the bottom of our farms next to support. Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone!

Clear mem cache? I just looked for it and I can't find it anywhere. Where is it? I already looked where you said to look and I don't see it. As a matter of fact I don't even see a support link.

Hi wvmilkman :)

The memcache link is beneath your game screen, scroll down past your game screen and the yellow box underneath it.
To run it from there just click on the blue text that says Clear Memcache
Then close that tab in your browser and load the game.
Memcache link is indicated with a red arrow in the picture below:

I've been wondering — when the final expansions for farm 49 to a 60x60 be coming along? Thanks.
