Thank you Raul. Still would like to see letters of the alphabet (or do you need special permission for this)? Nice to use letters on the airport so people flying over know it is there. Also possible for us to make our own signs. Please consider.

Very excited about super neighbor planting! I have been waiting for this! Thank you!!

Love this one:

7. Farm Stats quest farm filter: There is a new check box "Include products in quest farms" at the bottom of the Farm Stats window.

Thanks so much, Raul. Looks like a lot of cool stuff.

Thanks for the update. Always great when you add something to the game. Have a great vacation.

awesome, can't wait for all of it. thank you!

oh boy..... gotta get another gift card... lol

Total surprise.... love it and looking forward to the items yet to come.

Thanks Raul... enjoy your vacations... well earned, well deserved

Wow...caught me by surprise!! Thank you so much...great up date.

One small problem. Love the Super neighbor being allowed to plant now but.....my super neighbor just went to do my farms and discovered he is not a high enough level to plant what I want him to plant. I think it's MY farms he's planting.....he should be able to plant what I would on them.

Thanks again!!!! :)

The land enlargements cost too much. So, if I can't enlarge my farms, I can't add more facilities & factories. The company is losing out because they insist on asking tooooo many coins for enlargments/upgrades. It's impossible for me to make that much money to afford to buy any more land. I play FarmTown every day and I don't know how so many people can earn so many coins. What is their secret? Have they found a cheat somewhere? Or are they just extremely wealthy enough to pay real monies for farm cash? I would like to enlarge my farms, but I simply can't. If anyone from FarmTown wants to go into my acct and see how I can improve gaming so I can afford the enlargements, I would welcome it. It saddens me to see that I can't keep up, even tho I play every day, for many hours. Please, I'm begging (on my knees) you to make the cost reasonable for me & a million other players to enlarge our farms.

Thanks a lot Raul and developers :)

Thanks for the early update...Hope everyone has a great vacation.

awesome update only issue I'm having is when i went to plant for my super neighbor my stored amount was available not his.

You say what I say and think!!! I have tried everything. Ive stopped buying new farms cause I dont need anymore. Enlarging existing ones costs just so much - but I also cant understand why the new farms is so expensive in coins which is the only way I can afford to pay, but the new prices is absurd

What an awesome surprise! Thank you so much Raul!

Wow , a cheeky little update !!

Thanks so much Raul and the team for working on it for us ;)

How sneaky! Thank you!!!!

Re: Super neighbor planting for us
 

Hi, and thanks for the most unexpected update! My question is, will our super neighbors also be able to fertilize and irrigate what they have planted? I don't want someone coming to my farms, and planting, say, a 4-hour crop (since it is THEIR choice, right?) and me coming home from work and finding fields of dead crops that haven't been irrigated.

If they are not allowed access to our fertilizer and irrigation tools, I may not activate this feature.

Just wondering.......

I DID already message my one and only super neighbor to tell her to NEVER plant a short crop like that. I am gone a lot for work, and I plant crops according to when I will be around to harvest them.

Hi,

No sorry they can not fertilise or irrigate crops/trees/flowers.

I have a problem understanding this statement in the new release info: 6. Extra info when mouseover farm selector: Letter P and Q added to indicate Private and Quest farms.

I have seen the tick box for marking a farm "private" but have no idea what they are talking about marking as "quest" farm. What is this and when was it release and discussed so as I can read about for understanding.

Thanks

Hi,

The ability to mark a farm as a Quest farm was released 17th June last year.

Here's what was posted at that time. . .

Quest Farms:*If you own any of the animal tools below you will see a new checkbox on the window that shows when you click on your farm name at the top. If you enable the 'This is a quest farm' checkbox then when you use the Harvest All option in the facility manager, the animal buildings in that farm will be ignored, this is useful when completing quests.

a) Milking Station
b) Shearing and Cutting Set
c) Egg Collector
d) Manure Collector

Thank for the early update .
