New Release -- May 21st, 2019
 
See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last info posted on June 7th, 5:00PM.

Hi There,

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

1. Mothers Day and Memorial Day items released a few weeks ago.

2. New Farm 40 and the first 5 expansions:

New Farm (12x12) --- 37000000000 or 50 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 14x14 - 37500000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 16x16 - 38000000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 18x18 - 38500000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 20x20 - 39000000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 22x22 - 39500000000 or 25 FarmCash

3. Trading Warehouse to trade products offline with farmers: Currently, the Trading Warehouse can only be used to sell Super Facility products offline to any farmer that have you as a neighbour. There is a new Trading Warehouse icon in the Tool Box (above the Super Facility icon) that will allow you to create Sell Offers for your Super Facility products. Any farmer that have you as a neighbour will be able to open your Trading Warehouse from the neighbour bar and fulfill your offers.

Neighbours with valid (non expired) Trade Offers will be marked in your Neighbour Bar with a beige dot to the right of their picture. There is also a new 'Order by Trade Offers' menu option to quickly access the Trading Warehouse of all your neighbours with valid Trade Offers.

All current rules of Super Facilities products apply, for example, you can only sell Super Facility products to a particular neighbour once per day, there is no limit on the amount of products you can sell and all your offers will expire at the end of the day and will have to be created again the next day.

Later this week we will add the capability to create another set of offers that can be fulfilled by farmers in the Trading Marketplace, this way you don't have to randomly sell products to any farmer, you can just announce that you have Super Facility products to sell and interested farmers can access the offers in your Trading Warehouse using an option in your avatar menu.

In the coming days we will continue to improve on this feature and in the next 1 or 2 releases we will add the capability to trade regular products which will have its own set of rules and benefits.

4. Added the Oil Pump to the list of possible Super Facilities.

5. Tree Shaker 36 x 36 (FC): This new Tree Shaker harvest up to 1296 trees in one click.

6. Flower Harvester 36 x 36 (FC): This new Flower Harvester harvest up to 1296 flowers in one click.

7. Black Pepper Crop: Used in the New Zealand Restaurant.

8. New Zealand Restaurant (FC): Produces New Zealand Food.

Hokey Pokey
Hangi
Kiwi Burger
Spaghetti On Toast
Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Southland Cheese Roll
Roast Lamb
Hokey Pokey Ice Cream

New products from other facilities: Golden Syrup in the Syrup Factory. Ground Black Pepper in the Spice Factory. Onion Soup Mix in the Drying Facility.

9. Taste of New Zealand (FC): Provides New Zealand Cultural Exchange and Food Tasting Services and can be stocked with products from the New Zealand Restaurant.

10. Lamp Factory (Coins): Produces Lamps.

Floor Lamp
Table Lamp
Ceiling Lamp
Wooden Lamp
Art Deco Lamp
Tiffany Touch Lamp
Patio Lamp
Lamp Socket

New products from other facilities: Adhesive Styrene Roll in the Petrochemical Plant.

11. Lamp Shop (Coins): Provides Lamps Retail Services and can be stocked with products from the Lamp Factory.

Enjoy!

You forgot new farm 40.

Raenie May 21 2019 09:45 PM

Great, thank you once again!

The Lamp Shop & Factory seem to be a little confused regarding their ingredients. Factory should be loading more than 15 % or whatever it was?! Even though there will be two new items which are needed!

Have planted my Black Pepper and am eagerly waiting to harvest the crop! ;)

Hi Raenie,
If you check the ingredients required for the lamp factory is the lamp socket which is also made in that same factory. So you will need to first make some of those before you can start the lamps themselves.

The parts to be manufactured are made from parts which need to be manufactured in the same facility? O.K. sounds a little off, the mark somehow!

Shouldn't parts be manufactured in the factory and then sent on to the next facility to be used?

Hi Raenie,
It is not the first time they have done this where a part of something is made in the same factory or restaurant as the final products.

Will check with what happens later. Thanks for your reply! :)

new tools
 
what are the new tools?

Aussie Rae May 21 2019 10:31 PM

i) 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. wondering if this will apply to those of us who give away for FREE.....

BarbLH May 21 2019 11:53 PM

Thanks for the new stuff, Raul & team! Now that we'll have black pepper you might want to revise some of your current recipes in existing facilities, LOL!

BarbLH May 22 2019 12:11 AM

There's already a Ceiling Lamp in the Glass Factory. Now there's a Ceiling Lamp in the Lamp Factory, too ??? Might get confusing with the same name (different code).

mareface May 22 2019 05:01 AM

Hooray, Hooray, Hooray - thanks so much for more goodies - COME ON SUPER OIL PUMPS - hopefully we can upgrade our current pumps so as not to loose pending productions. You ROCK!!!!

dn36@embarqmail.com May 22 2019 06:30 AM

Hi dn36 :)

Some users are having problems loading the game and trying to store the new tools.

We sent an email to the developers to let them know about these problems.

Santmyer May 22 2019 06:41 AM

Cannot load farm town
 
I also cannot get farm town to load even after trying several times and doing the usual trouble shooting suggestions. Glad to know it is not just me. Cannot wait to check out the new stuff lol.

Not the first time they've had 2 products with the same name (Swing used by Modern School and Swing used by Playground)
This does make it difficult for tracking with the spreadsheet I've created when there are duplicated names like this.

WillowTreeFarm May 22 2019 08:54 AM

My husband can't store anything and I can't dispatch my train, he was able to dispatch his train and I can store stuff. He is on chat 7 and server w202, I am on chat 7 and server w204. I know you have contacted the developers, I'm just blowing off steam. Thank you for all you do.

JNelson May 22 2019 09:38 AM

Finally some bigger tools !!!! Hope more bigger tools coming soon , lol. I do wish you had let us know the mom day stuff was only going to be available for only 2 weeks instead of the normal month, did not get a chance to get what wanted :( thought had to the end of the month.

Snookie Sue May 22 2019 09:40 AM

Really disappointed with the new flower harvester. I need to use 2 clicks to cover flowers on the edges whereas with the old one I didn't. Switching to highlight mode doesn't always help and makes it much more tedious. Wish I hadn't used up all that cash on it. In the future could we have the chance to try out a new tool before plunking down big cash for it????? Thanks for any attention. BTW all my farms are the maximum size. Still wishing we could try before we buy big cash items - like many I am on a fixed income. Still love the game because as a disabled individual I can happily pass many hours with it.

Love the new facilities, but where can I find the super oil pump?

Hi jkelley,

There is no super oil pump. All that is stated is that the current oil pump could be one of the facilities that could be selected to become a Super Facility. If you do not know what the Super Facility feature is, please go to the Game Guide where you can find out about it: Chapter 13 Facilites

Qivis May 22 2019 11:08 AM

YES! I can finally name a farm "The Back 40" without confusing my Super Neighbors!

dell466 May 22 2019 11:09 AM

Cannot currently add to storage. Keep getting a message to try later.

Hi mareface,

The oil pump is just a possibility to be picked for a Super Facility. It's not a super pump as such although if you get it for a super facility you will have more crude oil as long as you sell the products before you lose them at the end of the day.

Please clarify what you mean when you say "hopefully we can upgrade our current pumps so as not to loose pending productions"

You would only lose poending production from the oil pump (when it is not not a super facility) if you stored the pump for some reason, perhaps to move it.



Edit to Add: I took a look at your data and you are almost at maximum for the storage limit on your aluminium ore. I did not check to see what else was getting close or at the limit, you can do that for yourself.

You also have not sold your non-ingredients for quite a while so you could lose products due to reaching the overall limit as well. Please go to market and sell your non-ingredients and also look at what you have in products that are getting close to 200 million in amount and sell a portion of those. (Note: You can NOT have 200 million of every item in storage you will reach the overall limit for storage well before that. We can not give you specific amounts for that as it depends on various factors)

Hi dell466,

Please check your Item storage and make sure there is space in your Storage for the item. You will see Capacity and Usage top left of the Item Storage window.

If that is not the problem, there was a server issue earlier today. Please close the game wherever you have it open and then reload and see if you are still getting that problem. If you do, please let us know what it is you are trying to store.

Fireball May 22 2019 12:28 PM

I put a facility on the wrong farm and cannot put it in storage to place it on the correct farm. I have a ton of storage space so that is not the problem.

Hi Fireball,

I'm sorry you are having this problem. We are aware that some users are having this issue and the developers have been notified that it is still ongoing. You will have to wait for them to find and fix the problem.

Clohar May 22 2019 12:56 PM

Thanks to Raul and dev. team. Great job

Texas Belle May 22 2019 01:08 PM

Thank you Raul & Co., keep up the good work, you guys rock...

jbowles824 May 22 2019 02:02 PM

Thank you for the new release. As far as the new restaurant, as far as creating the Hokey Pokey:
You put your right foot in
You take your right foot out
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey
And you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about
