New Release -- November 12th, 2010
 
Hi Farmers,


Here are some bug fixes for the latest release:

1. Avatar slowness while farming: The speed of the avatar and the game has been improved significantly when farming (sowing,plowing,harvesting) alone and for others.

Also, when you hire others for plow, you will not see any more animations for increasing XP and decreasing Coins when others plow, it makes the game slower and really doesn't help much anyways
.



2. Slow Deletes: Delete operations should be now as fast as they were before, with the yellow and white dozer.

3. Sometimes fields plowed on one farm were appearing on another farm, this should be now corrected.

4. Some users were able to impersonate messages and send messages as if they were forum moderators or other users. This impersonation security issue should now have been solved.

5. When you hire someone at the market and they start working on your farm, you can now see the status messages back on the screen as a sign that they are working.

6. Some people with very high XP were not able to advance in the levels, this is now fixed.

7. If you have a mobile sprinkler in your storage and you are visiting a neighbour farm, you should now see the sprinkler where the water can was before. The previous version of this fix didn't work 100% so please try again if you are having issues.


1. Farm 7: Below are the prices in coins. Farm Cash prices remain the same.

12x12 Farm 7: 7,000,000
14x14 Upgrade: 4,000,000
16x16 Upgrade: 5,000,000
18x18 Upgrade: 6,000,000
20x20 Upgrade: 200,000,000
22x22 Upgrade: 300,000,000
24x24 Upgrade: 400,000,000

2. 25 New Levels (60 items, all in coins): 25 new buildings and 35 new items added to the Container, Farming, Fun, Furniture, Motion and Other categories.

3. 18 Thanksgiving items and gifts (all in coins but 2): These were launched last week.

4. 15 new Farm Machinery Implements (decorations) as gifts: This will be launched later today or tomorrow.

5. Item Storage Improvements:

- 'Items' Tab added to market window: This will allow you to sell items in your storage without putting them in your farm first.

- Filters: You can now filter items in your item storage by category. There is one special category named 'Seasonal' that contains all Seasonal items.

6. Market Improvements:

- 'Sell Half' button added: This will allow you to sell only half of your products.

- 'Sell All' button below Non-Ingredients filter: This will allow you to sell all products at once when the 'Non-Ingredients' filter is selected. Based on user feedback, we may decide to add this button to other categories as well, although this can be a little risky.

7. Value added to premium tools: If you own a farm cash tool and have enough fuel to spare, you can now use those tools when working for others. When you get to the employee's farm, the Gifts and Store icons will be replaced by any Farm Cash tool you could use.

8. Trading limit expanded: You can now buy up to 1000 products (almost a full farm with tight fields) every 12 hours with other players to meet the demand of your facilities.

9. Hamburger Restaurant: Allows you to produce burgers. You can produce burger bread in the bakery. You can catch Mahi Mahi on the Small Sea Coasts.

French Fries
Cheeseburger
Mushroom Burger
Grilled Fish Burger
Grilled Chicken Burger
Supreme Burger

10. Frozen Food Factory: Allows you to produce food. You can catch Cod on the Big Sea Coasts.

Mango Pulp
Frozen Fruits
Frozen Vegetables
Frozen Pasta
Steak TV Dinner
Fish TV Dinner
Frozen Pizza

11. Cosmetic Factory: Allows you to produce cosmetics.

Mascara
Nail Polish
Foundation
Blush
Lipstick

You can produce beeswax in the Bee Farm.
You can produce cocoa butter in the Chocolate Factory.
You can produce plasticizer in the Petrochemical Plant.
You can produce talc rocks in the Open-Pit Mine.
The 'Ink Factory' was upgraded to the 'Ink and Pigments Factory', so you can produce the required pigments.

12. Air Fresheners Factory: Allows you to produce Air Fresheners.

Bathroom Air Fresheners
Incense Sticks
Scented Candles
Car Air Fresheners
Reed Diffusers
Potpourri

Enjoy!

Thanks

THANKYOU RAUL :) Great Updates

theoxman Nov 12 2010 05:41 PM

The usual "Great Release" bots are out in force I see...never mind that yet again release notes come AFTER the release is out and most of us have already figured it out.

And this has to be the sloppiest deployment yet...by my count at least 8 servers are not letting you buy the new farm or the new facs. Nice stuff in the deployment (though I await not having to click in the gift box for each single item..like items should be summed together and only one click required to get them) but less than impressive deployment.

SueW170 Nov 12 2010 05:45 PM

Looks great. One or two of the new facilities will go on my "maybe next year" list. I would have preferred to see the hamburgers and fries added to what we can produce at the sandwich shop (and would have been glad to pay the same for that as for the new facility).
Also seems the air fresheners could have been added to the Perfume Factory (also, of course, requiring that we pay for these expanded functions).
The improvements to Storage and Market Place functions sound excellent; haven't tried them yet. Appreciate that you and your staff, Raul, are responsive to user feedback on these topics:) :)

InePine Nov 12 2010 05:51 PM

Its on days like this im glad i can use the norwegian real estate man, i was there all alone! haha :D

This is an EPIC update, thanks for listening to our feedback, you guys are great!

SueW170 Nov 12 2010 05:53 PM

The Frozen Food Factory will probably go on my "maybe next year list;" however, (just my personal thought here) I'd have paid the same for adding this function to the existing Preserves Factory -- more functionality, less layout space required. By now I have long since realized that this isn't the direction Slashkey is taking, so simply adjust and limit my layouts to what fits in both space-wise and in keeping with my FT layout concept.
Congrats, developers, on your responsiveness to users and on your creativity and dedication to providing a fun, interesting and -- yes -- educational application.

kazzaqld Nov 12 2010 05:57 PM

Amazing again!

Thank you guys, much appreciated! :D

Double T Dude Ranch Nov 12 2010 05:59 PM

Hey Raul farm 7 connection errors and disappearing facilities....

--- queenie --- Nov 12 2010 06:00 PM

Where did my new Cosmetic Factory go?
 
One of my good friends sent me a Cosmetic Factory as a gift, I put it on my farm and after reloading the farm it has gone!!!!

Just another minor teething problem I guess.

gammymbw Nov 12 2010 06:03 PM

You guys are the best. This is by far the best game on Facebook. I love it, and you are all awesome. Thank you so much.

glennandpat4ever Nov 12 2010 06:04 PM

LOVE IT LOVE IT<
can't wait to get started, thank you

melizabeth5 Nov 12 2010 06:04 PM

Fantastic!!! Good job. Everything is gone in my storage under Non-ingredients, except 1 magnolia. I will be patient, as I'm sure it will show up. I had no trouble buying and upgrading my Farm #7 to the max. Thanks to the Dev's for this wonderful upgrade.

servocrow Nov 12 2010 06:05 PM

Mercy BUCKETS!!!

Glitches happen, it is a software rollout....

Now the fun begins....again.... :D

Toranut97 Nov 12 2010 06:07 PM

Did you railroad fanatics out there notice that the Hamburger Restaurant looks like a railway car? Adorable! And maybe a peek at the future????

Mrs Borgies Nov 12 2010 06:07 PM

Well there goes my other plans for today.... farming is now on the agenda! lol Thank you so much for this fantastic update!

You certainly rock!!!! :D

AZHorseLady Nov 12 2010 06:08 PM

I love you guys!!! Thank you very much....have all the new factories already and Farm 7. Can't wait to try out my tools when working on other farms!! This should keep everyone happy for a while. I know I am!! Great Release!

When I was new to the game I couldn't figure out why the notes in the game guide were out after the game, and then I discovered that these are produced by the moderators who are voluntary workers, and have to wait with the rest of us for the release. Instead of working on farm 7, they work on the notes for us.

If, however, you are talking about the note from Raul about the new release, I noticed that wasn't there at first (only becoming aware of the new release when I suddenly levelled up), but they can't put it out before they update, so it has to go out afterwards. I admit it's frustrating, but that's part of life in the real world.
