Best way I have found is to have a list of all my FT neighbors and set the updates that I see to just games for that list. Doesn't keep you from see the rest of their posts in the Newsfeed. If I want to see Game Requests for them I just click on that list in the left column of the Home page and it takes me there.

thanks, great new stuff devs!

LOVE the updates! I would really like to see the Textile facility increase the sheep and llama production. I keep adding Textile facilities to TRY to keep up and still am not able to max out the facilities that use sheep/llama textile and now have FIVE textile facilities! The piddly amt of production on these is absurd. PLEASE increase production there too!

wow not sure what is going on but up to this last release I've NEVER run out of quartz rock. i have 8 of the mines that produce it. Now all of a sudden since supposidly the quartz rock was speeded up - or whatever - I can't fill 4 of the factories that I never had an issue with before. hmmmmm what is wrong with this picture

Oh I agree.. I cant keep up the Llama wool...omg them poor Llama's are bare just as soon as I can rip their wool off...or maybe we can water the woolsheds so the wool production is quicker ...lol

I'm good with most of the changes that were made in the upgrade, especially the mineral mine. It is WONDERFUL to have what I need to fill my facilities.

However, something did change drastically. I noted the increased production of fuel tanks; nice touch! My problem stems from the petrochemical barrels.

Before the upgrade, I had three products in the petrochemical plant that I kept at maximum production. Following the upgrade, I did not have enough barrels to top off even one of those products. I don't know what happened, but it did. I wasn't keeping track of my inventory because there seemed to be plenty, but all of a sudden I'm down to zero with no warning.

If I posted this message in the wrong thread, I sorry. Wasn't sure exactly where to post. Use IE8, on WF5 (that's new too; it was WF40).

Any ideas?

Hi 2 of the products in the Petrochemical Factory had there production increased however the increased production did not require any additional petrochemical barrells to produce the extra production.

for example before the increase was implemented it took 1 Petrochemical barrell to make a batch of 50 Turpentine

Now after the increase was implemented the batch size is 65 it still only takes 1 Petrochemical barrell to make the 65 so no extra strain should occure on the petro barrells

anouther example the oil pump used to be a batch or 1 crude oil barrell costing 1000 coins for the batch of 1 now the production was doubled to a batch of 2 but the batch still only costs 1000 coins so effectivly the cost per barrell has halved. (shame real fuel costs dont halve lol)

hope i have helped

well ... the increased production is a plus, but since it doesn't use any extra petro barrels I don't think that's the answer. I have 1600+ crude oil barrels and the refinery is at max.

I have another account on facebook where I also have farmtown. That account has 2 oil refineries, both at maximum production with 63 barrels of crude in inventory, and has all 5 products in the petrochemical facility maxed out, with 438 barrels of petro left in inventory. Both accounts have three oil wells.

I'm not a mathematician so you might want to double check it. The refinery should produce 84 barrels of petro each week (3 barrels @ 6 hrs = 12/day x 7 = 84). It seems each one of the products in the petro facility needs 28 barrels a week (1 barrel @ 6 hrs = 4/day x 7 = 28), which would be just right to keep 3 products at maximum production. Something appears to have happened to the production ratio of my petrochemical plant during the upgrade. I'm short about 30 barrels of petro. Don't know if it was in my storage or in the facility.

Does anyone have another explanation? Since I did the math now, should I post it in another thread?

Is FB working on getting more farms?...I have 11 now...I could use a couple more...Also, I would like to see the price of the farm enlargements come way down...900, million for one enlargement...WOW!!!!

Hi , only the developers know if there will be more farms so we will have to wait and see what happens. There have always been rumours floating around that Facebook is going to start charging for their service... None of them have turned out to be true yet.
