See Known Issues and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Sep 25, 2:50PM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. Fixes from the last release: (there are still some issues with the sprinklers that we are trying to reproduce and resolve)

- Red Sprinkler can now also be used right after others irrigate your farm and you only had flowers on that farm (no crops)
- When you mouseover crops, trees, etc the text now says Grown in... instead of Ready in... to differentiate it better from the Ready to Harvest text

2. Conveyors (FC): This tool allows you to Start All productions for a product with one click on any facility that uses conveyors: Food Preserve Factory, Frozen Food Factory, Tea Factory, Cosmetics Factory, Perfume Factory, Petrochemical Plant, Air Fresheners Factory and Textile Mill.

3. Sorting and Filtering in the Belt Showroom Screen: You can now sort alphabetically or by belt types. Also, you can filter by a specific Belt or Dan.

4. Harvest Storage expanded by 25%.

5. Purple Forklift (FC): If you already own the green Forklift, you can buy this Purple Forklift to Store All products in All facilities in All farms. To use this tool click on the TOP-RIGHT Store All button in the Facility Manager.

6. Packaging Machine (FC): This tool allows you to Start All productions for a product with one click on any facility that uses a packaging machine: Pet Foods Factory, Cereal Factory, Baby Foods Factory, Snack Factory, Confectionery Factory, Printing - Packaging Factory, Bee Farm and Fish Farming Plant.

7. Flower Harvester 3x3 (Coins): Harvest up to 9 flowers at once. This tool can’t be used when working for others.

8. Storage Window Performance Improvements: The Storage Window should now open immediately, even if you have lot of different types of products in your storage. The scrolling should be faster as well. The scroll arrow now scrolls one full row every time. The disadvantage is that images appears a bit slower, but we think this is a reasonable compromise. If we get positive feedback, we will apply these changes to the market window as well.

9. Better information in the Help window:
- When mouseover an ingredient you will now see the stored amount
- When mouseover a facility you will now see the text (Owned) if you own that facility

10. Show stored amount for a product in a facility: When mouseover a product icon in a facility you will now see the stored amount.

11. Production Increased by 25% for more than 20 products: See full product list at the end of the post.

[rocker grrrrrl]

Great update. Thank you for increasing the items you have increased it will help out a lot. Can you please think about increasing the amount of shrimp we get from the fish farming plant and canned tuna from the food preserve. We need way more shrimp then the other stuff from the fish farming plant so having more then one for just shrimp is not worth the fc. On the canned tuna it takes 3 loads from the food preserve to max out the sandwich shop that is just crazy in my opinion. Please think about helping us out a little bit.
