Hi There,

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

1. 25 new levels: Check for new items in the 'Buildings', 'Farm Decor', 'Ponds', 'Motion', 'Furniture', 'Fun' and 'Other' categories in the store.

2. Next 7 expansions for Farm 39, see prices below:

34x34 - 39500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
36x36 - 40000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
38x38 - 41500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
40x40 - 42000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
42x42 - 42500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
44x44 - 43000000000 coins or 30 FarmCash
46x46 - 43500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash

3. Better rewards when loading ships arriving at your port: After you finish loading a ship, your total rewards will be:

a) X% of ( 100,000 coins * Number of containers in the ship )

PLUS

b) X% of the total products loaded in the ship at the first port of its itinerary

The X% has 2 components: Your level rank *AND* How many hours the ship was waiting on your port

The first component (A) goes from 5 to 1:
A = 5 if you are on the top 20% of the levels else
A = 4 if you are on the top 40% of the levels else
A = 3 if you are on the top 60% of the levels else
A = 2 if you are on the top 80% of the levels else
A = 1 if you are on the bottom 20% of the levels

The second component (B) goes from 20 to 1:
B = 20 if the ship was waiting less than 1 hour else
B = 19 if the ship was waiting less than 2 hours else
...
...
B = 2 if the ship was waiting less than 19 hours else
B = 1 if the ship was waiting more than 19 hours

Once A and B are computed then X = A * B, so X goes from 100% to 1%.

For example, if you are at level 1000 ( A = 5 ) and you loaded a ship with 10 containers that arrived 90 minutes ago to your port ( B = 19 ), then X = 5 * 19 = 95%

Your total rewards for loading the 10 containers on that ship will be:

a) 95% of ( 100,000 coins * 10 containers ) = 95% of 1,000,000 = 950,000 coins in rewards

b) The amount of products loaded on all 10 containers in the first port is about 4600, therefore, 95% of 4600 = 4370 products in rewards

In a future release we will introduce lifelines for ships which will allow you to unstuck some of your ships that have been stuck on a port for more than H hours.

4. Belts and Dans for next 10 facilities: Upholstery Supplies Factory, House Construction Supplies, Taiwanese Restaurant, Cobbler Supplies Factory, Food Container Factory, Venezuelan Restaurant, Tanning Supplies Factory, Bottle Factory, Train Supplies Factory and House of Pancakes.

5. Continued the development of the 'Trading Warehouse' feature: We are still deciding on the details but check the general idea below:

a) Will allow farmers to trade offline by visiting the Trading Warehouses of other farmers at any time
b) Create Buy Offers for products you want to buy
c) Create Sell Offers for products you want to sell
d) Offers will be created similar to the way that Online Offers are currently created
e) Other farmers Trading Warehouses can be accessed through the neighbour bar, by visiting a farm or by clicking on an avatar
f) Offers can be created for most primary products and also Super Facility products
g) Each product category will have it's own buying/selling limit restriction per day
h) There is a limited amount of Offer Slots that can be active for each product category at any given time, these are provided for free
i) Extra Offer Slots can be purchased for Farm Cash
j) ***New*** The Mayor will offer extra product rewards to those farmers that sell products to others, we think this extra benefit will encourage more farmers to trade with each other and will also add more value to the Farm Cash Business Clothes.

6. Jackfruit Tree: Currently it has no use in facilities, we will create a use for it in future releases.

7. Dill Crop: Used in the Iranian Restaurant.

8. Taste of The Netherlands (Coins): Provides Netherlands Cultural Exchange and Food Tasting Services and can be stocked with products from the Dutch Restaurant.

9. Food Art Caterer (FC): Produces Food Art.

Flowering Poodle
Apple Bites
Veggie Owl
Fruity Peacock
Fruity Monkey
Fruity Bird
Chicken Pesto Caterpillar
Sunny Pancakes

10. Food Art Show (FC): Provides Food Art Presentation Services and can be stocked with products from the Food Art Caterer.

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

12. Iranian Restaurant (Coins): Produces Iranian Food.

In the Food Art Caterer there is a problem with the purple grapes, I have over 400,000 in store but says I need to add more , go to ingredients for Fruit Monkey and the purple grape notification is incomplete

Thanks a lot Raul! :)

I am having the same issue,, I have tons of purple grapes and its saying I have none,, same with chicken,, says I have none but I also have tons of that,, won't let me load to 100 percent because of it. Thanks for any help you may give! :)

Thank you Raul! Love it!

Thank you for the new goodies!

Email sent about missing items for the Food Art Caterer. Please wait until developers can fix those items

Bonuses
 

Everytime we have an update seems our bonuses go crazy. Got notice of 39 bonuses and of course can't use them only 5 in 12 hrs. Can this be fixed? We work hard to gain the bonuses and then can't use them. Doesn't seem fair to farmers in my opinion. Thanks.

1am in Aus and I managed to stumble across the upgrade when my levels jumped while I was filling up facilities before closing the game. Hmmmmmmm might be up later than I thought having a bit of a look see. Thanks Raul and crew

Seems like demand calculation in planner is in error for purple grapes. Says I need them however i have 230,505 in inventory.

When I want to load new facilities I have a message I don't have any Purple grapes or Chicken and I have from both over 600,000 Is this a bug or just a regular mishap ??? :eek::confused:

Thanks guys and girls. Took notice of the same problem. I just wait it out, know this will be fixed asap. You're great and it's a great game. Love it.

I can't load several items in new facility because it claims I don't have enough chicken and purple grapes yet I have plenty in my inventory

Thanks Raul and Team! :D

Thanks for the extra FC! I didn't expect it LOL, woohoo!
Same problem here with purple grapes. I'll wait until all is fixed :-)

I was told I needed more purple grapes when I have 337,335 in storage????
Thanks for the upgrade Raul and crew.

Hi All,
Please be patient. The developers have been notified about the problem with the purple grapes and chicken in the new Food Art Caterer.


EDIT: A fix has been released for this problem. Please close and reopen your farms to get the fix.

Thanks Taz. Mine is loading fine now

Thanks for the new items to use in our farm designing such as the new rock wall, blacksmith shop, new buildings, etc. Too many farm cash facilities, some new farm cash tools would have been nice.

Thanks, Raul & team, for the updates :)

thanks for the update and all the factories love it :)

i just upgrade farm number 39 to 46x46 today wonder when they will have farm 40 out for us to buy

I untick and fill new facs manually to control the bonuses

Thanks Raul for the new update. You keep the game interesting. Thanks again..,.

Thanks for the update.

HELP! I just lost my connection to Farm Town completely. It's like I'm a new player but I was at level 1025
User Id : 781668409

Is the full writeup of the update available yet?

The levels have gone up today. You are at level 1050 which is the highest and you'll have $25 too.

Jackfruit Trees, eh?

Thanks Raul & Co. for all the new goodies... like always you guys rock...

This close to US tax day, it should be 1040. (just a joke folks)

Awesome thank you all!!!!

Not getting the coin amount on loaded ships. It stays at 100,000. Getting product, but the coin feature needs to be looked at.

Hi NJones,
We will test this and see if we can duplicate it.
Please list your OS, Browser and Flash Player version.

Thank you :)

Hi NJones,
I tested this and I got my coins and products for loading the ship. I saw it go up by 10,000 for each container filled. Checked my total coins before and after which showed they did go up 100,000. I am on Windows 7, using Firefox with the latest version of Flash.

Thank you for the new items but i do have an issue with a part of the "better rewards" for ships .. particularly "The second component (B) goes from 20 to 1:
B = 20 if the ship was waiting less than 1 hour else
B = 19 if the ship was waiting less than 2 hours else
...
...
B = 2 if the ship was waiting less than 19 hours else
B = 1 if the ship was waiting more than 19 hours"

This seems like it punishes those of us who have lives outside of farm town, that cant send ships out as soon as they arrive or more than 1 - 2x per day .. for myself, i work a 40+ hr job Mon-Sat, ( its road construction season which is just starting to ramp up for us) I don't have access to a computer, tablet or mobile device during working hours which can be 10+ hrs per day so my neighbors ships can sit in my port for 11+ hrs until i get home to send them on which means, according to this new improvement, i will be hard pressed to gain a top reward from loading my neighbors ships .. with all the FC facilities that come out every month i personally would rather see some kind of FC reward, more than 1 or 2 FC like with the quests, than more coins for loading neighbors containers.

Thanks and suggestion
 

Thank for all your hard work on keeping the game going. It is appreciated. When you add new items to a category is it not possible to flag them? Highlight them in pink like when you've worked someones facilities? No one person can remember what was in the categories let alone try and find what's new.
