New Release -- April 28, 2010

[soupie4]

Apologies to Will Shakespeare for the misquoted subject line .. couldn't resist.

I LOVE all the new enhancements and developments, making FT even more fun to play ... though it's much more time-consuming to get everything done ..

I noticed one poster here was pleased to see tomatoes gone from the gift area, but I wanted to add an alternative voice .. asking for them please, please, PLEASE to be added back.

Apart from milk, flour, sugar and eggs, tomatoes are one of the most needed items for other products (pizzas, juice and now ketchup).

Milk, four, eggs and sugar can all be gifted, so it would be great to keep tomatoes as a gift item too.

Milk and eggs as gifts help me keep my facilities in a working state without having to overload my farms with animals so slow things down to a crawl. And, while sugar is also a possible gift, sugar cane takes only 12 hours to grow.

Tomatoes on the other hand take two days ... and even with three farms to play with, I find my tomatoes run out fast, as I do need to plant other crops as well.

Another option that would help is if we could use cherry tomatoes in place of regular tomatoes to make the ketchip and pizzas for example.

Just my two cents' worth on the tomato debate.

It wasn't 15 days of production. My neighbors would come work my processing plant and wipe out over 15,000 pineapple juices usually in less than a day. It was good for them and it was good for me. I thought that was the idea... to promote more interaction with neighbors. Now with the production limits it not worth working, either for me or my neighbors.

I must say, had I known this was coming I would have never bought the juice factory. That was a waste of farm cash.

Hi there. These are items that your friends will have to gift to you

Fish are great, but WHAT do we do with them? Eat, Sell, Fertilizer?????

I love all of the new additions, thank you!

I would like to see a 4th farm added, I need it for wheat! It seems that wheat is used in a lot of items and I can never grow enough.

I would like to see a refinery that turns corn into fuel to be used in the equipment, of course then I would need a 5th farm for corn. But it would be nice to be able to produce more fuel.

I like to be able to produce the goods I need rather than rely on gifts, I'd like to be able to buy the trees I need to produce the goods, right now that would be pear, peach, cherry, mango and cocoa. It also would be nice to be able to buy the cows and hens.

I'd like to see the chocolate factory produce more, such as chocolate chips for the cookies, chocolate bars, chocolate candy, etc

I'd like to be able to grow flowers to be harvested and sold in my flower shop, that would mean a 6th farm for flowers.

I know I'm getting carried away but I love this game more and more and I can see so many possibilities.

I would like to be able to grow food to feed the animals. Grain, oats, corn. If there isn't enough storage of these items, the animals would go away. I think that brings me to a 7th farm to grow the food to feed the animals.

Oh, and we need cucumbers to make the pickles in the food preserve factory. I love it all, thank you, I'm going fishing now.

Spending money on this game? I was going to spend $150+ on Sims 3 & expansions but I don't have the time to play it because I'm on my farm so much, sooooo I'll put money into this game which is so much fun.

I don't know if anybody addressed the question yet about what can be bought with the semi - ham, pepperoni & hotdog sausage is all that is currently available.

Love this game & all the new stuff. Thank-you developers for giving us such a wonderful game.

Hi there. My guess is that sometime in the future there will be a use for them in the facilities ( just a guess though) but in the mean time I have been selling them at the Marketplace.

[The Phantom]

Raul, you guys are doing a great job with all the upgrades added to Farm Town lately. I just have one problem, I still can not work in any of my friends' facilities. I have tried all the options offered and nothing works. When the facilities were added I was able to work for who ever asked, then all of a sudden about two weeks ago I was no longer able to work anywhere. I know these friends have stuff in production and it has been longer than a day since I last worked for them. I know this because one of them is my husband and others are my kids. Please, any other suggestions on what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps it is the same glitch that prevents me from being able to send gifts to more than one friend at a time.

Thanks for any help.

I have been patient enough, worked hard and long enough to get where I am and this issue HAS NOT been resolved...Why are you creating NEW items (food processing plants etc.,) when you can't even keep up with past issues? THIS IS NOT FAIR TO those of us whom have played since day 1, myself included and I refuse to play again until my 46 MISSING FRIENDS are put back on my farm.. I have notified these friends and WILL continue to do so on a daily basis on my WALL until this issue is corrected..They are willing to stop playing at the same time and also notify their friends who will then notify their friends until there are many many many people NOT playing. With all the new games on facebook, we can certainly get involved in others with less issues ie Farmville, Country Life, etc., and we will. THIS IS NOT FAIR...AND OF COURSE THERE IS NO STRAIGHT ANSWER AS TO WHEN THIS WILL BE RESOLVED...GET A GRIP FARMTOWN AND GET THE OLD ISSUES IRONED OUT BEFORE YOU CREATE NEW ONES...OH YEA,YOU ALREADY HAVE IN THE AMOUNT OF FOOD PROCESSING CAN BE DONE AT ONE TIME..

Farmtown didn't lose them. FACEBOOK was the culprit. You can easily add them back by going to the neighbors tab and fixing the problem yourself.
I just hate it when folks threaten and all and it wasn't and isn't FT's fault.
