New Release -- May 27th, 2011
 

We just adjusted the limits for the Ingredients and Belt Bonuses Help. You can now post 5 times in a 12 hours period and accumulate up to 1,000,000 in coins in that period. We expect less posts and bigger chances of getting more value this way. Belt bonuses and ingredient requests limits remains separate as they are now.

Notice that the additional bonus you may get by posting to your friends walls when you reach new belts and degrees is really not that significant as they are only a one time bonus, the most important benefit is the new increased chances you get for getting additional products every time you or an employee harvest in your farm, this is similar to benefits offered by a manure spreader but there is no Farm Cash involved, only your efforts in getting belts and Dan degrees.

See other Post-Launch Updates at the bottom of this post.

Hi There,

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

1. New Gifts and Items in lower levels:

-10 Trees added to the Gift section, some with different sizes to create better landscapes. The big pine can be chopped.
-18 vehicles now have a view in the opposite direction in the Motion Section.
-Blueberry,Pineapple,Grapes,Peas,Onion and Raspberry buckets, 4 Wild Grass (small and large), Milk Keg, Wooden Flower Bed in the Farming section.
-3 Farmer Markets and a Rabbit Hutch (to store your bunnies) in the Buildings section.
-Red Brick Fences in the Fences section.
-Some gifts were moved to the Store.

2. Avatar clothes: Each sex have 6 different types of clothes (including the default overall), each type has 3 different color versions. Here are the clothes available:

-Overall, Street, Cowboy (Coins)
-Overall-Pro, Casual, Tuxedo/Dress (FC)

Once you buy FarmCash clothes you unlock them forever so you can take it off and on anytime, but It doesn't go to storage.

3. Seeder 5 x 5 (FC): If you already own the Seeder 4 x 4, then you can buy this new seeder to plant up to 25 fields at a time.

4. Store All gifts in one click: The Store All button in the gift window allows you to store all storable items at once. Notice that it will only store animals in the animals buildings located in the current selected farm.

5. Flower Harvester 8 x 8 (FC): If you already own the Flower Harvester 8 x 4, then you can buy this new Flower Harvester to harvest up to 64 flowers.

6. Request for Help in your Service Facilities: If you click the 'Get More Clients!' button in your service facilities (What's in Stock section) your friends will be able to refer clients to your service facilities so you can Cashout more coins faster and restock more often. The rules and benefits for you and your friends are the same as in the regular facilities.

7. Belt Ranks in Crops, Trees and Flowers (To be launched sometime next week): You can now achieve different Belts Ranks (like in Judo) on every product in those categories. The Belts have different colors for each Rank.

A new Belt for a product can be achieved by harvesting that product a number of times.

The current Belt achieved for a product is shown in the store. If you mouse over the product icon you will see how many harvests are required to reach the next Belt.

Every time you or an employee harvest in your farm the counter for the harvested product is incremented by one. ***The employee counters are not incremented***.

When you reach a new Belt there will be more chances that in future harvests for that product you get an extra product box. Below are the available Belts and the benefits you get:

White Belt - No extra box
Yellow Belt - 5% chances for an extra box
Orange Belt - 10% chances for an extra box
Green Belt - 16% chances for an extra box
Blue Belt - 22% chances for an extra box
Brown Belt - 29% chances for an extra box
Black Belt - 36% chances for an extra box

For example, when you reach the Black Belt for Wheat, from that point on when you harvest wheat there will be a 36% chance of getting an extra box of Wheat.

In the future you as a farmer will have a Belt as well based on how many belts of a specific color you have, and there will be even more chances of getting extra product boxes when harvesting.

Also in the future you will be able to reach Belts for fish, animals and facility products.

YAY !! Thank you for the new goodies. I thought something funny was going on when a neighbour requested facility items through mine when he was working them. This is great! My thanks to everyone involved! I'm glad Tom has been released, I missed him at the market this morning. :)

yeah he was a little de-hidrated & hungry but i was feeling nice (-:

cant wait till we can work all farms in a single hire (-:

As always Raul... BRILLIANT! Thanks to all devs :) :) :)

New clothes and a store all on the gift box makes me one happy farmer, thanks muchly :D

Can't stay and chat, have to run back to my farms and get my head around the rest of the update :D

Woot! New clothes! :)

I'm so excited that we get new clothes, how cool. The market will smell alot nicer now.

A great update, thanks.

Just in time to relax and play for this Australian! Thanks :)

Fantastic update! So many useful and realistic new items and the possibility to change my clothes after more than two years is just great! Well done!

PS: The timing of the update is well choosed as weekend is just some hours away and therefore much time for re-decorating :)

A bit confused on the release of the supermarket , cinema ect ect , do we have to post as individuals or will one post do all of them ?

Woohoo!

(Michael it seems one post will do, but you still have to move from farm to farm to get them)

Can't wait for farm 10 and levels . Also for belts >.<

Thankyou for your advise , most appreciated

Yay - just got up to a new release - looks good - thank-you Raul

Explain about the boxes please??

My Store All button on my gift box appears to do nothing.

awesome ty!!!

Thanks so much for the update, I love it!!! :)

Thanks Raul :) great release :-)

mine works

ensure there are gifts in your giftbox before clciking the button :cool:

i dont get the rank/box thing

i have gone to the store and hovered over nothing comes up

never mind it is being launched tomorrow re read the first post

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( New Release looks wonderful..... But it is a shame that I still cannot access the offers page. I have emailed slashkey and super rewards, but no one has bothered getting back to me.

Thank you! :D

**Heavy sigh .... **

My farm is still not fixed from the last release ..... I cannot put things into storage, including the 5x5 plower, any of the Mother's Day stuff, some things on each farm ... It's gonna kill me, but I just CAN'T keep spending money on FC if I can't work my farms right .... Bummer ....

I definitely have stuff in there. I had smoked salmon ingredients and hens. I have a hen house on the farm I was on, and it had room for the hens. Basically I clicked on the store all and *nothing* happened, it was as if I had not clicked

But when I went to a farm without a hen house on it (when I only had hens left in my gifts", it told me "nothing to store". So the button is live, but not working as expected.

The store all button for gifts is brilliant!

Ha ha! - see you got the Bridal store AND the baby food!!!! thank-you - got to get my head round it all - oh and like the new clothes but LOVE the 5 x 5 seeder most!!!

:) YOU MAKE ME CRY. seriously! OH MY! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH YOU COOL DEVS!! This is why without hesitation.. I "invest" into this game. Time, money... it's all worth it :) Thank you so much for listening to all of us. You give and you give and that's why you've got 1.8 million active users! Thank you soooo much! I love you. :)

Thank you! Thank you!

The Friday Dance is extra special today!

now lets see if I can get to 6 million XP before they new levels and farms

I agree with JAS0643. A button to "Work All" would be nice when working our neighbors facilities. It takes so much time to click on each product. And when the list goes past 8 products, you have to scroll.

Also, it would nice to have more service facilities, something like a Wal-Mart, where we can put clothes, toys, furniture, cookware, sporting goods, etc. that aren't being used by previous facilities. Or let us duplicate the items (ping-pong in Sports Arena and "Wal-Mart"). Then they would go faster.

But thanks for the new service facilities.
