New Release -- May 16th, 2018
 

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on June 7th, 7:50PM.

Hi There,

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

1. 25 New Levels: 25 items in the Buildings, Fun, Farm Decor, Motion and Other categories in the store.

2. 46 x 46 farm expansions for farms 21 - 35: The price is 30 Billion coins or 30 Farm Cash.

Note: With the optimizations we released last year bigger farms perform well enough even on old computers and even better if the farm contains lots of duplicated items.

3. Show History of offline messages: When you open an offline message (the envelop on the top of the game) there is a 'Show History' button that will show the past 50 messages in the conversation with that user.

4. Added a new Zoomed Out level: Now there is a total of 8 Zoom levels.

5. Show Work Info improvement for layered farms: On farms with multiple layered items, say lot of trees on top of layered crop fields, most of the time the representation of available work was not accurate, it was showing only fields or crops available but not the trees or flowers on top, with this fix you will see all the types of work available independent if the farms is layered or not.

6. Faster collection of the Job Completion Bonus: When you are hired and you finish the work on the current farm, instead of clicking the chest to collect the job completion bonus and then navigate to the next farm, you can just navigate to the next farm and the screen to collect the bonus will appear automatically.

7. Working neighbour facilities faster: When you land in neighbour farms to work their facilities, by default you will not see any items in their farms, this will make the farm to load a bit faster. You can still click on the 'Show Items' button to make all items visible again.

8. Other improvements released in the past 3 weeks:

a) Replaced the 'Let employee use my fuel' checkbox by a dropdown with 3 options: 1.Let employee use my fuel first 2.Let employee use my fuel last 3.Do not let employee use my fuel
b) Added this dropdown to the Super Neighbour setup screen, so you can specify whatever fuel option you like for each of your Super Neighbours
c) Improved message delivery reliability in the marketplace, so there are more chances for notification messages like the 'hire confirmation message', the 'Employee Ready to begin' and the 'Employee Began working' to successfully be delivered to the receiving user.

9. Window Cleaning Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Window Cleaning Supplies.

woot woot!! new stuff!! thanks so much raul and devs!! so far im really liking the message history for in game messaging. new facs are pretty cool too. can not wait to see the rest!!

Thanks a lot Raul and team! I love Taste of Argentina! :)

Are the new facs going to be placed under the religious button?

Thanks Raul!

I love it when my farm loads slowly and I head here to peek and yes! an update and some cool new facilities! I swear the developers are reading my mind sometimes. :)

just an fyi devs, i bought 3 fortune teller supply facs, and only 2 are showing in my fac manager.

Hi Jeannine,
Is it possible you put 2 on the same farm? If you do then only 1 will show in facility manager. If not then 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.

Looks like some fun stuff. I like the new screen size format!

Waiting for release notes..

Thanks Raul and team!!

hi taz! no i put one on farm 6, farm 14 and farm 30, and the fac manager is only showing the one on farm 14. and that is after i ran the memcache.

ok taz, so here's a little more info... i sorted the facs alphabetically, and the 3rd one showed up finally. usually they are grouped together when i use the search in the fac manager, but it wasnt grouping them tonight.

Hi jeannine,
Make sure you have the facility manager set to All farms and All facilities and All services. If you do then go to the farms they are not showing on and move them to storage, click save, restart your farms and place them back on those farms. Then check manager again.

ok i will try that. thanks!! :D

I LOVE LOVE the new screen size format in full screen!!! Way to go guys

Absolutely LOVE the fortune teller facilities, as well as the new zoomed out screen size! Thanks!!!

I can expand all but my farm 34... wondering if not expanding the last farm (34) was intentional or they missed that one?

Hi Sod Farmer,
There are 35 farms. Do you mean farm 35 or have you switch those farms?
We won't know until Raul posts the details.

Sorry about the confusion - keep forgetting about farm 0 - it is farm 35 (shows as 34 on the diagnostics info).

Yahoooooo!! cant wait

Great job thanks Raul & team !!!!

Thanks Raul and all dev's !! Some of my friends are afraid of being obliged to quit the game due to the fact there are too much FC items to buy. Especially the ones retired or on social security. For those the game is a way to forget their problems but due to the FC items they can't afford to continue that way 2 facilities in coins and 4 in FC on top of farms enlargements

Thanks a million Raul/Devs. You guys rock! Im loving the new screen outlay.. and couldn't believe how fast I got through working facs on neighbours farms! amazing work. I too agree with Clohar though.. 4 FC facilities is getting hard to maintain, but overall.. worth rewarding for the fantastic work you guys do! :)

ty for the new facilities

I am unable to make farm 35 the full size of 46x46. It says "sorry you have all the expansions for this farm." All the others have made spending down my trillion plus coins easier! :D Thanks for the upgrade, Raul.

I also can't expand Farm 35. First it said I had all the expansions. Now it's just a blank screen. Thanks for all the new stuff.

Thanks for the release, and I'm sure it's great, but there are some serious problems. I just went to do a friend's farms, and the game told me that it would do all 82 Farms!??? And it will now do only one farm, regardless? Come on guys, test, then release!

FT is really trying hard to get rid of people and offend all Christians. First pagan Buddhist facilities and now Fortune Telling. I will certainly be blocking any Fortune Telling and reporting to FB as offensive.

Fortune Telling is offensive to every true Christian
 

Well said. I will be blocking any posting of the Fortune Telling facilities and reporting to FB as offensive. Hopefully they will be placed under religious as you have said. I think Raul wants to get rid of all Christians from FT.

Love the game and thank you for the updates! :)

No land ungrade for Farm 35

Please place the fortune teller in the religious section
 

Please Place the Fortune Teller in your religious filter. It is very offensive to Christians and other faith groups.

Hi all,
We have emailed the developers about farm 35 not upgrading to 46x36. We will have to wait on the developers to fix this.

Love the fortune teller wagon - its perfect for my fairground farm!

I agree that Fortune Telling should be placed in the religious filter, please.

I am not offended by the fortune teller. Leave it alone, or give another option for those who don't like it.

Really like the new zoom out level!!! I noticed that right away - sure helps with the big farms!

Hi All,
Farm 35 will be fixed tomorrow to allow the 46x46 expansion.
Also the Fortune Teller facilities will be added to the Skip religious facilities tomorrow also.

Thank you for the updates. I especially LOVE the new zoom out levels!

I personally don't see anything offensive about the Fortune Teller facilities but the "Skip" option should work for those who don't like them.

Thank you for an awesome update - love the new zoom level!

Farm 35 is showing up as you have all available upgrades when you try and by the bigger farm at the real estate office. It won't go up to 46x46
