See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last update released on March 29th, 9:40AM.

Hi There,

We just released a new update with the following features and bug fixes: En Español AQUI

1. WARNING! High Risk for Farmtown to be removed from Facebook:

As many of you know already, the latest Facebook requirements for Farmtown to continue to be available inside Facebook are now extremely demanding for our small team, therefore, there is a high chance that Farmtown will be disabled for a long time inside Facebook or even permanently.

The guaranteed way to play Farmtown in the future will be outside Facebook, using the farmtown.com website. It's not live yet, we estimate that the first version should be completed in a few weeks.

In order to keep all your current farms and game content in the farmtown.com website, please load the usual Farmtown game in Facebook and follow the instructions.

You will be asked to enter an email and password and those will be your credentials to login to the new farmtown.com website when it's ready.

Please write down your email and password in a secure place, so in case you forget them, you don't lose access to your farms when migrating to farmtown.com

Also, please help us spread the word and tell your friends that they need to come back to the game and provide us with their email and password credentials so they don't lose access to their farms if Facebook disable Farmtown permanently.

We will be sharing updates about the progress of the farmtown.com website in the coming weeks.


Moderators Note: Instructions for performing the registration ar in the following link:

- Bugfix: Click on the small green help sign in the Facility Manager header not working

Post Release Updates - March 7th, 9:45AM

- Bugfix: The Verify Login screen was considering lowercase and uppercase letters as different in the email address, this was causing that some users could not verify their login credentials today. Please reload the game and try again.

Also, we released another update so when the Verify Login screen is shown, if you reload the game at that time, the Verify Login will show up again, the only way to continue to your farms is to enter the correct credentials or by going to the registration screen again, at which point you can enter new credentials, or click the red button to cancel the registration, at your own risk.

Post Release Updates - March 9th, 12:50AM

- if you want an extra piece of mind in case you forget the credentials required to access your farms from the farmtown.com website, then after you verify those credentials in the game, we will offer you the option to share your Facebook Email Address with us. This may serve as an alternative method to regain access to your farms in farmtown.com.

Please treat this only as a back up method, the principal way to gain access to your farms from the farmtown.com website will be by registering with an Email and Password.

Post Release Updates - March 29th, 9:40AM

- We continue making progress on the farmtown.com website and the initial version is almost completed

- The release of the new facilities will be postponed until the next release estimated in 1-2 weeks

- Bugfix: Some players using passwords containing the % character were having issues verifying their login credentials for the new farmtown.com website. The issue has been corrected however those players would have to reload the game and re-start the registration process by entering their email and password once again.

- All players can now set any of their farms as a quest farm without the requirement of owning any animal tools

- Bugfix: Some of the smaller Dozers not been able to delete or highlight certain items

got message invalid email,, however the email is current, no typos, the account was already linked,,, went to register and when type in all the info on the 2nd pop up said invalid, refreshed to try again but nothing popped up,, what do I need to do??

i have been trying to link my email to the game and when i click on it and it says refresh nothing happens

will a move affect the FC we currently hold? Will it be a "use it or lose it" sort of thing?

Hi, thanks for the update!

Question re the login/password: what happens if we miss 1 day we can't verify the login/password?

Thank you for new stuff and for working so hard to keep the game available for us. It means a lot.

Thank you for the update and for working so hard to keep us going no matter the circumstances. Thank You

Hi JNelson :)

Some farmers are getting invalid credentials for the verification pop up. Developers are working on that, so please be patient while they check what is happening.

I was wondering how working factories, will work? All you have to be is friends on face book for that to work now, are we going to have to friend people on the new site or what? What about sending gifts, sending ships and boosting trains?

Hi Tom :)

We need to wait for the updates for the new website the developers will be posting in the following weeks.

I did the registration thing last night and it came up and said i was verified and this morning it asked me to do it again, are we going to have to do it every time we come to farmtown? That is going to cause a problem down the road because someone is going to type in the wrong email address or password, the 2,3,4,5 time they asked to do it.

Hi Tom C,
You will only have to do this 5 days total. It is to make sure you remember it and to verify for Slashkey that you are entering it correctly.

Thank you Raul and Team!! When you leave facebook, I leave facebook. This game is the only reason I remain. Looking forward to the move.

Thank you Raul and team for the wonderful things you are doing!!!

What if people are on holiday/vacation and can't get on the laptop for 5 days what happens then? Will they still be able to get into farmtown. My farming friend is on holiday until the 25th March at a late time and she's worried that she wont be able to get back in and she'll lose her farm town.

Hi Alexandra_J,

Did she register at all before she left, if not she will have to wait until she can get on a computer to be able to do it.

i dont think they will be ready in 5 days to leave face book, the only problem will be if face book deletes farm town before they get back, which could happen at any second.

can we get the saint paddy day stuff out

Hi Tom C,
Raul did say a few weeks and they would keep us informed here. They are still working with Facebook to try to solve the security issues that Facebook keeps adding.

The 5 days is just to verify your login for the web site, should Facebook pull the plug on Farm Town. It doesn't have anything to do with when the web site will be ready. The developers are working as fast as they can to get the site ready so we can work through there.

Thanks for the updates and the info. Thankfully (touch wood) I am not experiencing any problems with logging in with the verification details

Slashkey Website
 

The WARNING page states to supply our email and password..Is this our regular email and password we use for email? I dont like to give out my password. Am I not understanding correctly? Thanks in Advance!:eek:

you make a new password just need to make sure you remember it

Hello BlueHair.. Thanks for the quick response,, But my question is Do I have to give you my password to my personal email. If I change my password, all my personal business, will have to be changed as well as on my cell and everything. Plus my work..Should I just create another email only for FarmTown??
Thanks for everything!

you can register with any active email just make sure you make a new password for registration purposes and remember it.

so no you dont give your password for you actual email

Hi oldm0m,

Just in case there is any doubt in the replies you've received.

Just like any website you use, that requires you to log in to be able to use it fully, the Farm Town website also needs you to provide registration details so that you can use them to log in.

Most websites require an email address that you use and ask you to chose a password to use. That is exactly what you are doing when registering on Farm Town. You are providing an email address and then a password that you want to use for Farm Town. When the website is ready, you will then use those 2 details to be able to log in and access your farms there.

When you enter your email address and then choose a password, it does NOT change your password for your email or for anything else that you need a password for. It can NOT do that. You do not need another email address for Farm Town, you can use the one you have, and the password does not need to be the same one you use for your email address.

Just remember to make a note of both of them and keep them somewhere you will remember where to find them in case you forget them.

When you have completed the registration, you will be asked to enter those details again to verify those as your log in details for Farm Town. You will be asked to do this up to 5 times, roughly once a day.

Billing
 

I hope while you are making the new website that you will enter also a possibility to buy Farmcash. So far this was bought via Facebook. Will the Farmcash then be a little cheaper as you won`t have to give these high fees to Facebook? thx

Hi rposer,

Keep an eye on the new releases. Those will be updated with progress on the new website and what will be able to be done, when the time comes.

I would like to know what the latest Facebook requirements are?

Hi boskherder,
The developers are not going to go into details here on what new reuirements Facebook is asking of them here. Since most of us are not programers we wouldn't understand them and it would just confuse everyone.

no she hasn't registered with the new farmtown account yet at all. She left for holiday before that came up. Will it still be ok for her to register when she comes back home.

Hi Alexandra J,
It will depend on when/if Facebook disables the game. If it is disabled before she returns then we don't know if it will be possible after that happens. We will have to wait and see what else the developers come up with.

Thank you for the update & so sorry y'all are being put through so much.

The new stuff isn't showing up for me in my store.

Please hang in there, it's going to be fine.

Hi Debhurst,
The only thing that has been released as of yet is the tree shaker 44x44. The facilities have not been released yet.
