See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on May 24th, 4:10AM.

Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following new features and bug fixes: EN ESPAÑOL AQUI//En français ici

1. 10 Mothers Day items: 5 on the top of the Mothers Day category in the Store and 5 at the bottom.

2. Next 5 expansions for Farm 29: See prices below:

24x24 - 13000000000 coins or 25 FarmCash
26x26 - 13500000000 coins or 25 FarmCash
28x28 - 14000000000 coins or 25 FarmCash
30x30 - 14500000000 coins or 25 FarmCash
32x32 - 15000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash

3. Belt and Dans for the next 10 facilities: Pediatric Supplies Factory, Antique Replica Factory, Scandinavian Restaurant, Korean Restaurant, Holiday Decor Factory, Ice Fishing Supplies Factory, Car Dealer Supplies Factory, British Restaurant, Argentinian Restaurant and Hospitality Supplies Factory.

4. Earn XP as part of the Job Completion Bonus when harvesting Trees and Flowers for others: This should increase the number of people willing to do these jobs in the Marketplace.

5. Increased capacity for the Gift Box: Now the items in the Gift Box that are sent from the Gift Page will all be combined by type and will not include the sender information anymore. You will be able to keep 150 gifts on your Gift Box plus about 130 Bonuses and Ingredient Packs at the same time. Also, flowers in your gift box will be placed one by one to your farm instead of 5 by 5, unless you have the Multi-Planter in which case the regular Multi-Planter functionality applies.

Note: Gifts sent from the Send Gift page are all consolidated into one entry, so if you receive 2 pineapple gifts each containing 15 pineapples, you will see only one pineapple image in your Gift Box with quantity 30.

6. Gifting Machines to expand Gift Box capacity (FC): Purple and Brown Gifting Machines will allow you to expand your Gift Box capacity to 500 and 1000 gifts respectively.

Note: This extra capacity only applies to regular gifts, which are the gifts you receive from the Send Gift page. The capacity for storing ingredient packs and bonuses will remain the same, at about 130.

7. Other Fixes and Improvements released in the past weeks:

- Many minor improvements to the Neighborhood Chains Contest.
BugFix: The current user picture in the neighbour bar is now showing correctly
BugFix: Users that were on a level below 150 were not able to add facilities to the Item Storage.
BugFix: Fixed an issue that caused the farm sizes in the Farm Selector to show 26x26 for most farms and also this caused issues with the FarmStats as well.
BugFix: Fixed a bug in the Mobile Lookout Tower tool that caused not all farms with work turning blue when visiting a Super Neighbour, this happened when you had less farms than your neighbour.
BugFix: Some users with a total of 2 farms were having issues marking one of the farms private.
BugFix: When fishing, if the water items had parts outside the farm and you clicked on those parts, the game got slower with time. Also, if using the Turbo Boat nothing happened. From now on, if you are fishing with the Turbo Boat you will be able to fish the whole water item even if you click on a part that is outside your farm.

8. Portuguese Restaurant (FC): Produces Portuguese Food.

Codfish Croquettes
Green Soup
Bacalhau Rice Stew
Seafood Feijoada
Eel Stew
Pork a Alentejana
Portuguese Steak
Drunken Pear

9. Cruise Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Cruise Supplies.

Ship Bell

Engine Control Lever
Embarkation Ladder
Fire Sprinkler
Life Jacket
Monitoring Panel

New products from other facilities: Thick Linen Rope on the Textile and Spinning Mill.

10. Fire Station (Coins): Provides Firefighting Services and can be stocked with products from the Police-Fireman Supplies Factory.

New products from other facilities:

- Baking Soda in the Open-Pit Mine.
- Wye Valve, Fire Extinguisher, Firefighter Badge, Firefighter Axe, Firefighter Helmet and Firefighter Boots in the Police-Fireman Supplies Factory.

11. Cruise (FC): Provides Cruise Travel Services and can be stocked with products from the Cruise Supplies Factory and from many Restaurants.

Enjoy!

Post-Release Updates - May 21st, 4:30AM

Known Issues

- Facebook just confirmed that they introduced a bug recently that do not allow games in Facebook on accounts with lot of friends (approximately more than 2800) to retrieve the full list of friends. This is currently affecting all the areas that requires friend interaction like boosting trains, working facilities, adding neighbours, etc for those users. They say they are currently working on a solution.

In the meantime, we just released a temporary workaround that just assume for now that your facebook friend list is the same as your neighbour list, at least this way you can go now and send gifts to your neighbours again and start working your neighbours facilities again.

However those users with approximately more than 2800 friends will not be able to interact with most of their friends, only their neighbours, until facebook provide a final resolution to the problem.

There are some exceptions, for example you can still send gifts to any of your friends if you go to the Send Gift page and select the 'Search Friends Manually' tab and search manually for your friend.

Thank you Raul and development team :D

awesome!!! thanks team!!! :D

Thanks Raul! Love the Cruise ship...:)

Thanks a lot Raul:)

Thank you, thank you for the new toys, like always you guys rock... now to play... we are going on a cruise... yayyyy

Whoo hoo raul & team thank you so much for all your hard work hugs !!!

Thank You for the update and all your hard work...love FarmTown

The cruise Ship is showing as costing 30FC

Thank you but it says the cruise is coins and my store says 30 bucks. :(

Cruise is 30FC not Coin as stated
 

i notice this and the transaction has removed 30FC from my Funds

Thank you for the new release. How fun! In your write up, you said the Cruise was coins and I was charged $30FC............:(

Cruise
 

You are showing in the release that the Cruise is a coin item, but in the store it is a farm cash item. :(

Is cruise coins as stated above or FC as shown in the store

Thanks Raul

can we please have a increase to the Neighbour Limit? :)

Hi everyone,

We have asked the developers for clarification on the Cruise.

Coin fac
 

Cruise Ship says coin fac, but in market is for FC

AWESOME -- Love the cruise ship idea -- now to figure out where to put it.

I bought the Cruise Ship and was charged $30FC....should have waited a while until they had things straight, hope they will refund my FC

the cruise s/b coins as we always have 2 coins facilities with every upgrade!!
i won't get any facilities until this is cleared up!!

Ditto on the cruise ship. Thought it strange that the supply facility was coins and the facility it supplied was FC. Please straighten out and refund my FC. Thx. Going to be fun making the cruise "real". Would like a Portuguese flag to go with the restaurant.

thanks for the new update but I have purchased the two fc ones, they show in my farmcash activity in Account, I can see them on the farms where I placed them, but they DO NOT show in my facility manager and when I go back to the store, and set the filter to un owned, they are showing there... I paid 30fc for the Cruise, 32fc for the Portugese Restaurant, and 3,300,000 coins for the Cruise Supplies Factory. Help!! :) I understand that there is probably a glitch happening, but hope it gets fixed soon or I am out 62fc..

Thanks! Can't wait to go "cruising!

Same here. I paid $30 FC and your update says it's coins. :(

Raul says the cruise ship is coins, I just paid 30FC for it... what's next?

Hi Aussie Rae,

Try exiting the game and load it again. Then use the search box in the Facility manager to find your new facilities. Mine are showing up fine in there.

The cruise ship is 30 farm cash. Email has been sent to developers to getr the release notes corrected.

Bought FC Facility but not showing up in the facility manager, Please Help....... I have already close out of farm town and restarted still not showing up??????

The market is showing the cruise ship as a farm cash item for 30 fc in the market.. please clarify... Thank you so much for all your hard work

Hi Matrix,
Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close that as it is done.
If your farm is open close it. Then reopen and try again.

thanks Tiger, have reloaded about 6 times, cleared memcache, cleared browser history and download etc.. non of the 3 facilities I purchased show up in the facility manager..https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...1115933&type=3

Does anyone bother to read the other comments before they post???

Also, has anyone mentioned that the Cruise ship is costing farm cash?

11. Cruise (Coins): Provides Cruise Travel Services and can be stocked with products from the Cruise Supplies Factory.
Taz says, The cruise ship is 30 farm cash. Email has been sent to developers to getr the release notes corrected
I say what a bunch of bs. we always get the Coin Service Fac for the products the coin Fac produces. The release note does not need corrected the Store does. Not fair for fixed income people that have to carefully balance their real life money

Thank you Only I paid for the Cruise 30 farm cash. I am sure it was typo .. thanks again

Taz, I Cleared Memcache, close out of FT, but still not showing up in my facility manager???
