Post-Release Updates - July 7th, 12:20AM

- Released a fix for the problem of not being able to earn bonus when hired and using the Turbo Boats and flowers were present on the farm.

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

- Released a fix for users having issues doing Cash Out or Store All in the Facility Manager.

Post-Release Updates - July 13th, 3:30AM

- Released the Puerto Rican Restaurant and the Pigeon Peas Crop.

Post-Release Updates - July 14th, 5:00AM

- Optimized the My Neighbours tab, it load much faster now, especially for users with high amount of friends. Also, some users were not seeing all the names under the picture, this bug is now fixed too.

Post-Release Updates - July 20th, 7:30PM

- There is a new version of the Chrome browser (52.0.2743.82 m) that fixes 2 issues in the game:
a) When using the mouse wheel in full screen, no extra mouse click is generated
b) Flash text is not blurred anymore

Notice it may require for you to upgrade Chrome manually. Click on the top-right button containing the 3 horizontal lines, then click Help, then click About Google Chrome. The update may start automatically or you may have the option to start it manually.

- BugFix: When using the Transplanters, and moving a group of trees to another location which was very close to the original location, some of the trees went missing.
- Implemented several optimizations in the back-end which allowed our servers to respond 50-200% faster to most farming operations, so the text feedback will finish faster and you will be able to change farms faster as well. This will be much more noticeably on users with slower connections.

Post-Release Updates - July 21th, 6:30PM

- Replaced the Bank facility in the Neighborhood Chains Contest with the Food Flavoring Factory, this was required because the Bank do not grant any XP points.

This change will show up the next time you open the Neighborhood Chains Contest window.

Post-Release Updates - July 29th, 3:30AM

- Yesterday facebook introduced a bug that is causing the title of all farm town posts to be 'Farmtown' instead of the more descriptive text like "I would like to hire you to work in my facilities in FarmTown!".

They estimate this would be fixed in about 7 days.

Post-Release Updates - July 29th, 4:00PM

- We just released a few internal changes required by facebook in relation to upgrading to their new application platform version, these changes should all be transparent to the user, if you notice any issues with the game please report it on this thread.

- We also released a few changes on the 'Thanks' area of the Neighborhood Chains Contest, each user row is highlighted with a different color based on your relationship with that user, blue->neighbour, green->buddy, white->friend and pink->stranger (none of the above).

If it is pink (stranger), you will see a 'Visit' button you can click and visit that users farm to see who it is. This means that this user has you as her neighbour but you don't have her as your neighbour. In any case, once you are at her farm, you may decide to remove yourself from her neighbour list.

Post-Release Updates - August 3rd, 1:00AM

- Sometimes when refilling facilities not long after the last refill, the Processing phase of the Start All operation was taking much more time than the previous attempt. This should not happen anymore.

Post-Release Updates - August 3rd, 4:40PM

BugFix: Facebook names for senders are not appearing on the offline message window, instead there is a ? sign.

Known Issues


- None

new stuff :)

Looks like a confliction with the flowers and the new boats not allowed to collect bonuses if there are flowers on the farm

Cant get bonus with new turbos!

Love love love the update!:d

So far, I have found 3 new facilities. Boy scout supplies/shop (both coins) and indoor playground (fc). 1 new tree Eucalyptus. Still looking. If you see anything else, please post.

ooh farm 30,.,,,,need to sell some stuff

new catnip crop. 4 hrs.

The Indoor Playground came on the June Update.

Also Catnip Seeds (4 hour).

2 new Turbo Boats and Farm 30 (up-gradable to 22x22)3

Happy Farming

New 4 hour crop too, catnip. Now the darn lazy cat will be dancing on my keyboard the way she does in my garden! LOL

Just harvested a farm in the market they had crops and trees on top of the crops got everything harvested and it kept popping up the new 8x8 boat like there was fishing to be done but there is no fishing to do. Therefore you can not collect your bonus. I don't even see any water on the farm.

No, the Indoor Playground Supplies Factory came in the last release, the service facility Indoor Playground is new.

Please include a wide variety of national celebration decorations
 

Please expand your holiday/celebration items to represent as many countries as possible, like Bastille Day, Anzac Day, and so on. I really like seeing the varieties of peoples represented in the game.

80 fc is a bit pricey for the big boat

the trans planter doesn't work on the new tree

Everyone I have hired is telling me that the boat is popping up telling them they need to fish to get bonus even though there are no water items on the farms that are causing the problems

Cant get bonus from new Turbo Boat

Hi Petuniaflower,
I just used the multiplanter and transplanter on the new Eucalypse tree. Try clearing your memcache and see if it will work after that.

It's 35 FC for the 4x and 45 FC for the 8x -- 80 FC for 2 boats is not too bad ... if you fish those insane layered waters ...

Boat Problems
When a neighbor goes to my farm the boat pops up and there is no fish. She clicks on show ponds and it will show nothing. Same happens when I go to other farms, boat comes up and click show ponds but it will show nothing. Any suggestions. Thank you

Hi all,
For the fishing bonus are you referring to the hired from market bonus or the belt bonuses from fishing your own?

figured it out mods :rolleyes:

Hi heartnrose,
Just for clarification is this neighbor a super neighbor or one you hired or just visiting?

Hi PatB,
Please put your suggestions in the Suggestion section of the forums. You can not start a new thread there but you can reply to one there that fits your suggestion.

hey guys, thanks

ah, that's true, i didnt think about those ginormous fish farms that take 10 hours to do. lol

Taz,
She is a super neighbor and on one farm they were showing, but it was still saying there was more. She did all of them. I am a super neighbor of hers, and cant even get her water items to show even if I click show ponds. But the boat is still there.

UPDATE: I have all 30 farms and she says the boat comes up on all the farms. Now I know I do not have water on all of them.

For all those having problems with the fishing boat popping up when nothing is there to fish or not being able to get their bonus because of this, 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.

After clearing memcache I am getting the correct tools and not getting the boats when I shouldn't.

fishing boat
 

cleared both mem cache and my browser cache,and still getting the boat popping up when there is nothing to fish,guess ill have to wait for the developers to get this fixed,thanks anyway.

Ok Taz. So far it seems to be working fine after clearing. Thank you so much for all your help.

Access to store blocked
 

I can only access seeds in store-nothing else ! HELP!

As a side note,this seems to be happening with Super-neighbors only,not the regular neighbors

I have done cleaned it once and I am working on a farm from the market and it involves flowers,trees,crops, I fished the pond with boat and I have harvested everything and it shows the boat when I click on collect bonus and says there are still some items in this farm ready to be worked on.

Well I stand corrected. It helped somewhat, but boat is still popping up on every farm rather they have water or not. At least they are showing now. My superneighbor says the boat does it on every farm and I dont have water on all of them. It is a mess, but will have patience. Thank you.

Hi Boduke,
Was this when hired in market or working for a neighbor?

I have sent email to the developers. Please be patient until they can get this fixed.

it was one of my Super neighbors,it is not happening with any of my regular neighbors,im guessing its a glitch,one i am sure will be fixed in due time.

The Indoor Playground Supplies FACTORY came with June release. This is the Indoor Playground its self. :)

Hi covcosfarm,
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.

The bonus is not working when fishing if there are flowers on the farm.

Hi Ninja Mom,
This has been sent to the developers. Please be patient until they can fix it.
