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. New St Patrick and Easter items: 6 St Patrick items (released a week ago) and 10 new Easter items.

2. 42 x 42 expansions for farms 21 - 28: 20000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash.

3. 25 New Levels: Top level is now 725.

4. Added the 'Dead Roses Pot' to the Farm Decor category: This is a useful item that experienced designers use regularly to create realistic farms.

5. Belt and Dans for the next 10 facilities: Australian Restaurant, Irish Restaurant, Uniform Factory, Summer Gear Factory, Cuban Restaurant, Irrigation Supplies Factory, Windows and Doors Factory, Canadian Restaurant, African Restaurant and Orchard Supplies Factory.

6. Super Storage Tools (35 FC): Red Super Storage Shed duplicate item storage size. Orange Super Storage Shed will make your item storage 4 times as big.

7. Continued the development of the Neighborhood Chains Contest: We spent most of the time on this release developing this feature, we estimate we should be able to release the first version in 1-2 weeks.

This is a weekly contest where 10 Farmtown neighborhoods compete against each other by operating the longest and most productive facility chains. Here are some preliminary rules and concepts:

a) Your neighborhood is just the collection of all your neighbours, that will be your team
b) A neighborhood chain for facility X is the collection of all the facilities X that you own plus the ones that your neighbours own
c) Every week 4 facilities will be selected and 4 neighborhood chains will be automatically created for those facilities in your neighborhood
d) Groups of 10 neighborhoods each will be pre-selected by the game and their members will start competing
e) The winning neighborhood will be the one that earn the most XP points by producing or stocking goods on those 4 neighborhood chains
f) We are still deciding what the rewards will be

We will post more information here in the coming days.

Thank you Raul & Company... playing with the new things already, and waiting anxiously for the new storage, like always you guys rock... thanks

Hi bruhelmboldt,
Diversification Ranking has never had anything to do with storage.

Sorry, confused as usual. So what DOES it do. My search can't find it in "help and support". Thanks Taz!

Update

Hi bruhelmboldt,
The Diversity Ranking sets your buying amount for when you buy from another farmer.

Just logged in to see that we have been given Dead Roses Pots. OMG this is better than winning the lottery! Love you guys . . THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU . I am off now to sell off over 8 or so thousand of them. Will certainly free up some farm space for me too. LOL .

Dan on collard greens appears to be missing.

thanks for the great update!!!!

You have given us dead roses pots? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You are the best

Another great release! I want to send a big thank you for moving dead rose pots from a holiday item and making in part of the store year round. Jumping for joy and saying THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

ok, i gotta ask, what am i missing with the dead roses pots? is it some mystical thing?? :eek:

I noticed that too. :(

Jeannie I have the same question.


Fred Bee, gentleman farmer

I know some of you may be shaking your heads and saying why dead rose pots? They are an item that people who do farm design use a lot of!

Are the St Patrick's items mentioned from before (Feb 29)? I am not seeing anything new, unless I am missing it.

Hi Queen.of.Clutter,
The new St Patrick's items were released on the 1st of March when both set were released.

New release March 9th, 2016
 

Thank you for the dead rose pots. Now I can delete them out of storage and free up some space! This has made my day! Thank you for all the other goodies, like always happy to see new items! for anyone who does not understand the reason for the dead rose pots, they are used by designers, and they were the only small black item, that you could do so so much with. They were a seasonal item, and many of the designers would store as many as they could to use on future designs. So, Thank you for putting them into the store!

Thank you!
 

;)Thanks Raul and team!! Y'all are amazing!

Thank you for the new releases. I especially like the new facilities.
Looking forward to the next release.

wow - thanks :-)

Where does the Car Wash supplies go? Will there be another facility?

Hi all

From Raul's notes for the New Release

Post-Release Updates - March 10th, 1:00AM

- Added Belts and Dans for the Collards Green crop
- Released 10 new Easter items, 2 as Gift, 6 at the top of the Easter section in the Store and 2 at the bottom of the Easter section in the store. The Easter section is located just after the St Patrick section in the Patrick-Easter category in the Store.

Thanks for the great update, definitely looking forward to the storage.

I have heard that there is a way to do the facilities in one posting and not having to go to each one, what do you have to do, to do this?
