It is all in the mind.

have chickens and the grandkids get the eggs. The five year old twins love it when I cook them cheesie eggs.

Have sent socks and t-bone to the butchers, jersey is next and we need to get 2 more caves to raise. best tasting meed we have had, and I was born in New York city, go figure.

Back on topic.

From what I have read and understand. A lot of the food that is raised on the farm is used on the farm. Wouldn't make sense to raise beef and sell it off then go to the supermarket and buy it to eat.

Remember we are farming here.

I think that the Dev. are doing a great job with how they are doing the game. I remember saying that we need a chain saw when the chop those trees came out, just kidding about it, guess what we got the chain saw. also wanted the lumber jills, still waiting for those.

We are given a lot of choices on how and what to use to play the game. I for one think that it is coins or FC I must decide what and how I want to play and use it.

Keeps this old man from getting forgetful.

What do I want next. Surprise me with something and I will decide on using it or not.

No, the lamb chops would go with the semi truck just the same as the beef and the chickens, we don't kill the animals on the farm, we use them for eggs and milk and so on but not for their meat.... it comes in the truck, lol

We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes.

1. New Animals and Hills (Coins): 5 new animals on the gift page and 4 more animals in the store. Also, 3 different set of Hills now available on the Paths/Ground category: plain grass, tall grass and semi-dry grass. There are also a coupple of Sand Hills at the end.

2. Easy to Return Gifts: When you accept a gift, the confirmation page now have a new section to 'Send a gift back to your friend' to easily return the favor. Notice this section will only be visible if you haven't sent a gift to that friend recently.

3. Fertilizer for Trees (FC): If you already own the *Red* Manure Spreader and you buy the *Orange* Manure Spreader, then every time you fertilize a farm using ANY of them, both, crops and trees will be fertilized. Fertilized trees will produce 2 boxes when harvested and 2 log piles when chopped.

Notice you only need to fertilize a farm once, with any of the Spreaders, it doesn't matter which. You can also use the Manure Spreader in the Extended Tool box.

If you don't like the highliht effect on crops or trees you can disable it in the Preference window.

[UPDATE:] There is no additional consumption of manure, it remains the same as before.

4. Harvest storage increased by 50%.

5. Facility optimization (launched a couple of weeks ago): There should be far less network requests when using your facilities, so working on them should be faster, with less timeouts when you move from one facility to the next or when you start farming after closing a facility.

6. Facility Manager: This is a new tool located on the Extended Toolbox to make it easier to navigate and manage your facilities. For now, you can see all your facilities in the current farm, with summarized information and with the hability to open them and sort them in several ways. In the future we will be adding more functionality to this Manager to make it easier and faster for you to work with them and help friends.

7. Producing Yarn and Rope in the Textile and Spinning Mill: The 'Textile Mill' has been upgraded to 'Textile and Spinning Mill' and will also produce Linen Yarn and Rope from the new Flax crop, and Wool Yarn from Sheep Wool.

8. Knitting and Knotting Mill (FC): Allows you to produce Knitting Clothes and Knotted Products out of the Yarn and Ropes you produce on the Textile and Spinning Mill:

Hay Net
Hammock
Scarf
Snow Cap
Lace Dress
Doily
Boots

9. Distillery (Coins): Allows you to produce Spirits and Liqueurs:

Vodka
Whiskey
Brandy
Rum
Creme de Menthe

Farm 8 and new levels comming on the next release.

Enjoy!

Thanks

Yep. I'm all set for that big "Oh boy!" moment. Doesn't it usually come in the evening ET, though?

Of course, we don't even know for sure that the new release will COME on a Friday. It could be pure coincidence that the last few upgrades have all been on Fridays. But it's still fun to anticipate when it MIGHT come.

Hi, I have already asked three times in the last day for people to please keep this thread to post about News & Announcements... This is not a debate thread, I would ask you all to remember that.
