New Release -- April 28, 2010
Hey there,
We just released a new version with the following features/changes: 1. You can now fish at your farm in the ponds, lakes and rivers using the Fishing Rod in the tools menu (below the watering can). These are the rules: - If you had already water items in your farms, your fish are almost sure already grown so you can start fishing right away. If you just purchased a water item, then you may have to wait 8 or 24 hours for the fish to grow. - To fish, just select the Fishing Rod and start clicking on the water. You will see the Fish count decreasing as you start catching fish. - If the fish count is 0, it means you need to wait until all fish grow again. You don't need to wait until the counter gets to 0 as that can be quite hard, your lake or river will be full with fish in 8 or 24 hours anyways. - On the 'Ponds' section on the store, click the '?' icon next to each item to see the type of fish living on it, how fast the fish grow again, etc. - In general, the less fish in the water, the harder it gets. 2. We had to limit the amount of products you can have producing at the same time on each facility. The risk of inflation is too high which could impact the game dinamics significantly. The general rule is, you can only have 15 days of continuos production pending for each recipe. 3. Sandwich Restaurant Facility (Coins) allows you to make: - Standard Sandwich (Ham/Cheese) - Sandwich with Veggies (add Lettuce and Tomatoes) - Sandwich Supreme (Add Pickles and Onions) -> Get pickles from friends for now, later on you will be able to produce them on the Food Preserve Factory. - Hotdog -> get Sausage from friends or order them from the Semi-Truck tool. Get Ketchup from friends or make it on the Food Preserve Factory. 4. Food Preserve Factory (FarmCash) allows you to make: - Strawberry and Blackberry Jams - Pear and Peach Slices in Conserve - Orange Marmalade - Ketchup - Fruit Cocktail 5. 7 new crops available: Lettuce, Peanut, Mint, Grape Tomato, Celery, Garlic and Ginger. 6. In the storage, there is now a '?' button next to each product that can be used as ingredient for other products. This will allow you to quickly make a better decision about selling the item or use it to create other products. Sorry for the long post. Enjoy. Thanks --Raul |
Fandabidozey. Thanks Raul. :)

Thank you, thank you. I absolutely love farm town and all the new additions. got to get them all. would you please add farm 4 now?
|
Where do you get a fishing rod?
BTW, I LOVE FARMTOWN with all of the new additions!! I have many of the new Facilities, and hope to get them all eventually. (FarmVille should be THIS GOOD, but they are losing ground when it comes to adding what people want!) |

It's right by the Watering Can: :rolleyes: 1. You can now fish at your farm in the ponds, lakes and rivers using the Fishing Rod in the tools menu (below the watering can). Ok, so now I have to make another Inventory chart...heehee. :D Oh, and it would seem a couple of the new things like Peanuts...charge you 100 to plant and only show up as paying out 7. :eek: Surely that's an error, yes? ;) |
can't see the fishing rod yet, but yay for the update! There appear to be pricing errors for the mint and peanuts, I'm exstatic that blackberries will get used (and my pears & peaches) but ARGH! I have been saving my FC for the chocolate factory and now the preserves factory is 30FC too... I delayed the choc factory for the juice one as I would get more use out of it and the same is going to happen with the preserves factory. It wouldn't be so bad if we actually got "Application of the day" every couple of days but I don't think I have had one for 2 weeks. And thank you for doing something to address the game dynamics (and hopefully future updates continue to do so because I still think the facilities have made earning coin and xps too easy).
The question mark beside items in storage is a good idea, however it's not showing in the market where I think it would really be needed. Thanks again for the update :) |
ah yes, thanks for pointing out where the fishing rod is, I was looking in the tools section of the shop!
|
How exciting! I already went fishing! LOL!
|
I love the changes but a question about the crops. The new crops all cost 100 coins but sell anywhere from 7 coins to 440 coins is that right. Why would we plant a crop for 100 coins and then only sell it for 7 coins or 25 coins.
|
All these sound great ...but what a new release means to *me* is that I probably won't be able to play my game, plant, harvest, plow, or do anything else. I just got things going again, after 2 mnths because of updates, sigh. I haven't tried to get into my farm, yet, but I will be doing that soon ...and I hope I don't lose yet another 2 fields of crops! I'm *trying* to save money for a 2nd farm!
|
Unbelieveable!
I'm loving this new stuff :) Don't you dare apologize for the "long post" - this is great stuff! Thank you for a fun, FREE game!

Has this been defined/clarified yet? 'The general rule is, you can only have 15 days of continuos production pending for each recipe.' |
Everything going on with Farmtown is fantastic, well and good...EXCEPT...the processing items requiring farm cash are unattainable by those of us who've been farming the longest, and who have the items needed to run these facilities, because through months and years at the game, we've accumulated orange, pear tree's...and etc. However, because of so much time passing...WE DO NOT HAVE THE FARM CASH to purchase these facilities that would really enhance our Farmtown experience. I'm sure it's just the creator's way of trying to force us to use real money to buy fake money...in a really rotten economy in the REAL WORLD.
|
too funny i started saving my tree harvests a while back yay we now have something to use them with..... I had just rebooted my pc and came back to Farm town and saw the fishing pole was ok there is problem lol so I came here wow I just caught some Carp and some other fish in my pond......Love it......Thanks to the Dev's
|
can someone tell me what level the sandwhich shop unlocks? I've been working on a spreadsheet (that I plan on sharing, but held off when Raul mentioned more facilities int he last update) and would like to have all that info right from the start
|

|
400 sandwiches sold for $24,000. was i 1st? :)
|
Aha
I was just coming in to ask why I couldn't produce anymore cheese. I must have too much in production. I had a LOT and accidentally SOLD it last night!!! You could probably hear my ARRRRGGGHHHH from wherever you are!
|
YEAAAAAAAA I love the new fishing , , My farms are mostly oceans ponds and lakes , so it makes fishing fun and easy .. Thanks for the new upgrades , Can't wait to see what you guys come up with next. I was on the verge of quitting farmtown , Do have one issue , run out of EGGS and MILK to fast to do much in the factory's
|
Small Glitch, I went to the realtor office, and clicked on him.....up pops the seed menu..........
|
ohhh a coffeee grinder mill would be nice to help with coffee icecream , please stop making us pay FC's for things , my hubby is going to have a fit if he finds how much real money I've spent already buying FC's for extended farms and factory's
|
Omg
Oh my gosh..you people at Slashkey are insane. I don't know what drugs you guys are on, but keep taking them! You guys have really kicked it into overdrive the past month or so on this game. I *love* it. I so need a 4th farm. And fishing!? OMG. I have *so* much water on my farms..I'll be fishing all night! There is no possible way I can catch even half of the fish. I hope there will be a seafood restaurant or something so we can use them. I'm going to store them away for a while instead of selling to see what might come of this. Now I have to scour the offers to try to earn the 30 freakin' farm cash so I can buy the preserves facility. You may have just gotten me kicking and screaming to spend some actual money on this game.
|
Shoot I already got a message on my BF's cell ..... LOL Help I need FC lol

My home is a mess, don't have a life...Farmtown you have done it again!!!! Thanks for the new stuff. I am never going to get away from my farm now. Appreciate all the wonderful new changes. This is way too much fun. Thanks sooo very much!
|
Awesome! Thanks so much!
|
By the way, can we use the small tomatoes instead of the 2day? Thanks for clarification.
|
I have no problem with some items requiring Fc, but I think making the facilities that are FC also buyable with coin would help address the millions of coins that are now being generated. I really wouldn't mind paying 10 000 000 coin for the Preserve, Choc, or Juice factory as it would give me something to spend those coins on instead of them collecting dust.
PS thanks Jas for letting me know the level the Sandwhich factory unlocks... my guess was right! |
Wow, overdrive is right! what a bunch of cool stuff!
Lemme ask this however: Are we EVER going to get to a point where myspace players will ever be able to "produce faster", or simply have the production times drastically reduced if the faster feature is impossible for us? The reason I ask is that I have already ceased putting any more new stuff in my facilities, due to the fact it takes way too long to get a return back on my investments. Once all my facilities are empty, they are to go into my storage untill the become more reasonably usable. I might get the pond to go fishing for fun, and thats about it. It sucks not getting more involved with the new stuff, knowing it will take too long on MS. |
Wow l go real excited at the prospect of planting a 4 hour crop for 45 coins and harvesting it for 440 coins - till l noticed the prices on all the new crops.
Can anyone clarify/correct the prices for the new crops? Thanks Raul for the awesome free game!! |
