See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on December 19th, 10:00PM.

Hi There,

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

1. 25 New Holiday Items: 3 as gifts, 12 at the top of the Holidays category in the store and 10 at the bottom.

2. New Farm 38 and the first 5 expansions:

New Farm (12x12) --- 31000000000 or 50 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 14x14 - 31500000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 16x16 - 32000000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 18x18 - 32500000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 20x20 - 33000000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 22x22 - 33500000000 or 25 FarmCash

3. Updated Train and Ship product output according to the initial release rule: When we released the trains years ago, the amount of each product delivered was supposed to be equivalent to 15 or 30 days worth of production, 15 days if the product was produced in a Farm Cash facility and 30 days if the product was produced in a Coin facility. There were also a few exceptions, products made in the The Petrochemical Plant and the Rubber Factory delivered 15 days worth of production, even when those were Coin facilities.

During the following years we have been increasing the production amounts on the factories but not on the output of the trains and ships, so with this new release we are in sync again with the original rule. See below all the product increases which applies to both, trains and ships:

Plastic Granules -----------> 33%

4. New way for changing your status in the Hiring and Trading marketplaces (released 3 weeks ago): Instead of using the Change Status Message option in the avatar menu, you now have easily accessible buttons on the right side of the screen to show others what you want to do on those markets. See more info about this in the previous release thread notes.

5. Other minor improvements released in the past 2-3 weeks:

- BugFix: When switching from full screen to regular screen the new market status icons were covering other elements of the game
- When you click the CHAT button to open the chat, you can start typing right away instead of having to click on the chat text bar first
- Your XP score on the top now have space to fully display up to 9 Billion XP points
- The special levels from 976 to 1000 gave 2 farm cash each as a reward
- Removed the red circle under the trophy icon if all trophies were earned already

6. My Super Facility (coming in the next 1 or 2 releases): We started the development of this feature 2 weeks ago, the idea is to provide another way to acquire high demand products and also to incentivize and make trading easier between farmers. We are still adjusting some of the rules but in the meantime read below for a general idea of how the feature will work:

a) Every week you can upgrade one of your ingredients producing facilities (Mines, Mills, Semi-Trailer, Fish Farming, etc) to a Super Facility for the remaining of the week

b) The exact facility that will be upgraded will be chosen at random by the game

c) Every instance of that Super Facility will produce X% more than usual each day of that week

d) The extra production will be split in 2 buckets

e) You will be able to sell all the products in the first bucket to any farmer in the Trade Market at very
low prices, so there will be significant motivation to accept your offer

f) You will be able to sell all the products in the second bucket to any of your neighbours, again, at very low prices

g) For every product you sell, you will earn one back as a gift from the Mayor

h) At the end of each day, all the unsold products on each bucket are lost and the buckets starts filling again the next time you start productions on the Super Facility

7. Tanning Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Tanning Supplies.

Tanning Goggles
Tanning Cap
Tanning Bed Pillow
Heart Tanning Stickers
Sun Wall Decor
In Wall Timer
Bed Acrylic Shield
Bed Disinfectant

8. Food Container Factory (Coins): Produces Food Containers.

Pizza Box
Carryout Food Container
Carryout Soup Container
Soup Bowl
Food Container
Kitchen Canister Set
Meal Prep Container
Hermetic Jar

9. Tanning Salon (FC): Provides Indoor Tanning Services and can be stocked with products from the Tanning Supplies Factory.

10. Soup Kitchen (Coins): Provides Food Services for Low Income Families and can be stocked with products from the Food Container Factory, Soup Restaurant, BBQ Restaurant, the Instant Food Factory and the Ice cream Shop.

11. Taste of the Philippines (FC): Provides Philippines Cultural Exchange and Food Tasting Services and can be stocked with products from the Filipino Restaurant.

12. Taste of Morocco (FC): Provides Morocco Cultural Exchange and Food Tasting Services and can be stocked with products from the Moroccan Restaurant.

Enjoy!

(thanks for new stuff!)

Better? :D

thanks for the new stuff

Thank you for the new release but once again you have added clay blocks for one of the ingredients in the new facilities. I have 37 farms and an open pit mine on each and I can't produce enough clay blocks to use in my facilities. The quantity needs to be increased ten fold. Thanks for all you do.

Strange that I have at least one of every facility and have over 1 million in stock . . . . . . . . .

Thanks to Raul and the team for the update !

Hi lburn11,

Please, all suggestions for the game go in the Suggestions area. Here's the link to that area of the forum >>
http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2

I find it a little peculiar that a facility called "Soup Kitchen" would not stock any soup, only food containers, including a pizza box. Usually the term "soup kitchen" indicates a place where food is available free or inexpensively to people who are homeless or destitute.

again I dont understand, we get 2 coin fac's = a Soup Kitchen (to provide food for low income families, as stated in the Store) containing only empty food containers, some made of plastic which should be a NO even virtually; = then a Food Container Factory which makes these food containers - now pardon me but where does the "food for low income families" part comes in. Dont think empty food containers are going to provide food for low income families, or did I miss something?? Or is it just that I think too much, just saying..........aw I forget the part that says 'be grateful for what you receive'........jeez!!

I agree... this was a total disappointment. Even the luxury look is soooooo wrong!!!

Food Container Factory and the Soup Kitchen have the same products... i would rather go back to the old way of having a complete update every 2 or 3 months instead of a partial update every month! but either way, thank you!! :)

The food container factory makes the containers which are loaded into the soup kitchen along with other products from other facilities.

thanks for the updates!
I am looking forward to the new feature re. trading :-)

Love new stuff and love the new designs of buildings/facilities. You guys are great and creative! Merry Christmas!

I really do not think that low income families can survive on empty food containers that are in the "Soup Kitchen". Where's the SOUP?????

Hi Fireball :)

Please open your Soup Kitchen and check that various products have been added to load this service facility.

Whoa, nice! Thanks for that info. It talked me right into buying something on my wish list, too. :)

Containers for the new Soup Kitchen are not being loaded into said Kitchen.

Several friend have been complaining that facilities have been disappearing from their Facility Manager or that at least the numbers have been considerably lower than they had been when they click the "start all" button since the update. I did not have this happen, but when I went to sort by "not owned" in the Facility tab to see what I still need suddenly all the items since the "taste of" type facilities began were listed. So I alphabetized all the factories in the Facility Manager and found that I did indeed still have what the store said was "not owned" except for a facility that someone just sent me but I did not receive - the Tanning Supplies Factory.

Hi Redwhine :)

I just checked your data and you dont have any containers stored.

But when visiting your farm, I saw the Food container factory is working correctly and you will be able to store more containers shortly and your Soup Kitchen is loaded with products and containers.

Hi Qivis

If your friends are having problems please tell them to register into the forums and then post here.

For your problem with Not owned in the Store, be sure you are not clicking in Not in this farm instead.

If the problem continues please contact Support. Same for the Tanning Supplies Factory as it shows as missing in your data. In this case, it would be better if your friend is the one contacting Support as they paid for the facility.

I only reported this so that the person who I read about having the same issue would not be the only one and the friends I mention think this forum is useless and stopped using it years ago. (Although I disagree.) And I clicked NOT OWNED. Not "Not owned on this farm." Everything back to the lingerie factory is listed when "not owned" is selected using the funnel icon in the store's Facility tab.

Please check the amount of facilities and services you have placed on each of your farms.

Remember there is a limit on how many facilities you can have per farm (about 300/400) and if you exceded that amount this kind of problems could happen. Try to move the factories showing as not owned to another farm after empty them, and check if the problem is solved.

If that is not your problem, then contact Support team.

Are the two new Taste facilities have been released yet. When I check in the store in Not owned they are not appearing

Hi Clohar :)

They have not been released yet.

The limit on how many factories are allowed on each farm should have NO EFFECT on whether someone can send me a farm cash item. So you must be referring to another situation entirely.

so do we have the details of the new release yet? :confused:

Hi Vonalm,
Not yet. Don't know what the hold up is, but I am sure there is a good reason why.
