Hi There,

1. 10 Thanksgiving Items: 2 as gifts and 8 at the top of the Thanksgiving category in the Store.

2. 25 New Levels: From 976 to 1000. These levels will be special and will earn you 2 farm cash each. They are a bit harder to achieve than previous levels. A total of 27 items in the Buildings, Farm Decor, Motion, Furniture, Fun and Others categories in the Store.

46x46 - 36500000000 coins or 30 FarmCash

4. Design changes for the Marketplaces: The Job Marketplace has a couple of new tool decorations and the Trade Marketplace has a brown background, this way you can differentiate them better.

5. Added 19 high demand products to trains and ships:

Pearl Oyster Container
Marble Rock
Chili Powder
Felt Roll
Nylon Roll
Velvet Textile Roll
Fiberglass Sheet
Plywood Sheet
Polyester Fiber
Cola
Yellow Mustard
FarmTown Beer
Bacon
Apple Cider Vinegar
Oyster Container
Arabic Gum
Cork
Latex
Silk Worms

The train Long Fruits Car was renamed to Long Tree Products Car.
The ship Metal Sheets Container was renamed to Sheets Container.

6. Other Improvements released in the past 2-3 weeks:

a) Added a new 'Rotate Items' to the purple hand so you can rotate a big number of items more quickly
b) When using any Freestyle Farm Designer, including the yellow hand, when you mouse over an item the name of the item will show up on top
c) If you disconnect from the mainframe to go offline, when you go back online, you will see an updated list of all avatars that are currently connected, this should work everywhere, farms, marketplace, etc
d) Removed the black 'Loading...' message when scrolling through the neighbour list
e) BugFix: Sometimes after loading a very populated farm with few empty spaces available, the Avatar was not visible at all. Moving forward, if we can't find an empty space to show the Avatar, we will force the avatar to appear on the lower corner of the farm. This bug was also making more difficult for users to see each others avatars on those farms.

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

Cachitos
Arepa

Post Release Updates - November 2nd, 11:15PM

- Released the Venezuelan Restaurant.

Post Release Updates - November 8th, 5:10PM

- Released 10 Thanksgiving Items.

Post Release Updates - November 9th, 8:00PM

- Point #5 will be released early next week along with the new levels.

Post Release Updates - November 10th, 6:00PM

- Introduced a new way for changing your status in the Hiring and Trading marketplaces. 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.

These are the options in the Jobs market:

S - I'm Selling Products
H - I want to Hire other Farmers
W - I want to Work for other Farmers
M - I want to Meet other Farmers

These are the options in the Trading market:

S - I'm Selling Products
SF - I want to Sell products to other Farmers
BF - I want to Buy products from other Farmers
M - I want to Meet other Farmers

You can indicate more than one intention at the same time, for example, you may want to hire others but you may also want to be available for others to hire you, so if you enable the H (Hire, pink color) and W (Work, red color) buttons, your avatar name will be colored in pink and red at the same time.

The only case where hire requests sent to you will get blocked is when the H button is selected and the W button is clear. If both, the H and W buttons are selected, you will be able to receive Hire requests as usual.

Also, when you are selling products to the Mayor/Tom, we will enable the S button automatically so others know that you are currently selling products.

Post Release Updates - November 12th, 4:00PM

BugFix: Sometimes avatar labels are not colored correctly in the market.
BugFix: One of the new Thanksgiving banners was too big.

Post Release Updates - November 13th, 1:30PM

- When selling to Tom/Mayor at the markets you now have access to the right buttons to change your status without closing the products screen
- 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.

Post Release Updates - November 14th, 1:20PM

- Released 25 levels, from 976 to 1000. These levels will earn you 2 farm cash each. They are a bit harder to achieve than previous levels.

T y Raul and team

Thanks Raul. A nice surprise, did not expect an update for a few more days.

Thanks Raul for the update!!

Thanks, Raul!

Thank you for the update.

thanks for the good work!!!

so this is why it takes several mins for the initial farm to load and then individual farms won't load at all and it is impossible to sow.

Happy Dance! Thank you for the new stuff! Can't wait for the Thanksgiving Stuff!

Thanks so much Raul and Team!! :)

Thank you, Raul and Team

thank you, looking forward to the new stuff from the trains.

I hope HONEY is included in those high demand products! :D Great release as always. Thanks.

Why levels always delayed?
 

Levels should be easy routine changes so why do you make us wait? We get little enough as it is! 25 every three months when we have MANY TIMES the needed XP.

It should be 25 EVERY month. Us long time players can't level up in between like newer players can. And every month now you are releasing 3+ FC facilities!!!

Thanks so much for the changes to the marketplaces! So much easier now to know where you are.

ty, just bought 2.. :)

thank you! especially pearl oysters!!! :)

Ya'll are freaks... as in freakin' amazing!! xx
Thank you so much for all you do.
Theresa

Thank you :)

thank you :-)

I think the fc bit is getting a little much so much I don't have because I can't buy it love the game but now we get 4 that is FC and 2 coins. You are pricing your self out of the game for a lot of old timers like me. Sorry do not mean to upset anyone but money gets tight and can't earn the farm cash fast enough. Also one question, how long do you have to cash in your quest before you remove one when you have 13 or more come in to cash out and only have 12?

# of Facilites
 

I realize that we can only have so many facilities per farm, but if FT continues to add, then that limit must be raised or we will just use the COINS and forgo the FC and we will not have to spend any more real $$$

Some super farms love to have 1,000's of facilities !!!!!!!

Hi rosie41244,

Please, in future, post any questions you have that are not related to the New Release in Help and Support

A Quest will stay on the chart for exactly 7 days since you completed the final step. You can check how long a quest has been done by clicking on "Show Quests" in the Quest manager. Once it reaches 7 days it will no longer count.

Buen dia..... Marcela ,donde encuentro la opción de leer en español?

Hola Irisliliana :)

They've gotten greedy & forgot their mission statement. They aren't working for us anymore, their priorities have changed, just like they have for many companies who have lost touch with appreciating their employees. They are working for every penny they can get, instead of working to maintain FarmTown as the best game that players want to play. They are dwindling down, eventually down to where they aren't going to earn enough profits bcuz people have stopped playing. They can't maintain a high level of money paying players. They are driving the committed players away bcuz they're asking for too much money.

I know y'all FT developers are aware of this, but 5 FC this time????? This is to the point of ridiculous. For people who can't spend real money, there is no way to buy those in a timely fashion. And that sucks. Just FYI

Hi nanhoo,
There are only 4 FC facilities, not 5.

My mistake, math has never been my long suit. But I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. Don't misunderstand, I appreciate the new things. I like new. And I spend my money to get them. The thing is, I shouldn't because we really can't afford it. It's almost like gambling. I've been addicted to FT for quite some years now.
