New Release -- October 8th, 2013

[KnightRider]

The sauces and condiments factory now shows the xp for filling up the factory. The farm stats looks like it show the correct numbers now, just looked at my trees and it showed all of them correct.

[twosmiths]

The rules for computing the Help Given to Your Friends by You are:

1 point for CLAIM_BONUS, SEND_INGREDIENTS, SEND_GIFT and WATER_FLOWERS actions
5 points for WORK_IN_FARM, WORK_FACILITIES, WORK_SERVICE_FACILITIES, WORK_RAILROADS and SELL_PRODUCTS actions
FarmCash Price * 20 for each SEND_FARMCASH_GIFT action, this include ALL Farm Cash items, Certificates, Facilities, etc.

A particular helping action only count once per friend in a few hours period. For example, if you work in user X farm you get one point, if you work in user Y farm right after that you get another point, but if you work again on user X farm right after that it will not count, you will have to wait a few hours for it to count.

Sorry, I have no idea what the purpose of these "help points" is. Do you accumulate them to trade in for FC? Or do you buy them with FC, and - if so - why? I do understand that they are earned points, I just don't know what to do with them. I can't make head nor tails of the above quoted information.

I no longer play Farm Town regularly, but I wander back to my farm occasionally because I miss the interaction with my neighbours and I can help them with bonuses, etc. I have apparently earned points for myself (although I don't know how to access them). I've asked, but none of my playing neighbours understand what these points are for either. We are all hopeful at the idea that they might be worth cash! Can someone please explain this new feature?

Thanks!

Thanks Taz -

Unfortunately I have more fuel than I know what to do with, so these points will be of no use to me. Maybe down the road they might be used in other ways?

The help points have nothing to do with fuel, that is just help you give that day to your friends for the fuel, the help points is an accumulation of points that show how much help you give your neighbors, each day you help your neighbors it is added to the total. It is only useful to the people that is more competitive so they can see how they stack up against their neighbors on who helps who. To me it isn't very important, but there are probably people that play the game that will go by these numbers alot and anyone that sends FC items to neighbor will probably not get the correct amount of help points at this time until it is fixed.

Hi, I would assume this means that the well known and used glitch , where people were attaching trains to both ends of the carriages, has been fixed.

I have all my freight cars on one farm... 9 are together with an engine at each end. And 3 are together with an engine at each end.

Just unloaded all 4... and dispatched all 4.

Maybe I should never detach any, or they may not double dip again??

Thank you Tony, I always thought it looked dumb anyhow having engines on either ends. I have two engines on seperate farms with only one engine per train set, so I have nothing to worry about. Thank very much for explaining Happy Farming

FYI Real trains often run with several engines on the front of the train and at the back as well. It is not unusual to see a train with 5 engines on the front and 2 or 3 at the end I have seen this a lot and thought it was allowed because it is normal with real trains. I don't remember when I last saw a train with only one engine!
