New Release -- December 7th, 2011

[Majik Merlin]

Love the new updates, but unfortunately (as already pointed out) the highlighting farm with facilities feature is not working properly. Am sure the Devs will be tweaking it and resolving the problem/s.

What I encountered is when working client services for a friend, they indicated they had work on three farms. When I went to work these farms, only ONE was highlighted and I was unable to access the other two farms at all. I then clicked on their work facilities request and was able to access the farms, but had to manually click on each of the service facilities. Also, I went to two of their farms that only had the non-accessible facilities (mines, etc.) and none of the workabe ones.

I do love the concept as many players don't list their working farms and it takes forever if we want to wade through checking their farms for available work.

I do have to comment that I went "GULP" when I saw the cost of the farm expansions...WOW!!!! I'll bet it will be a while before many people can earn enough coins to get them and I am one who will not be able to afford the funds to buy FC; but it will definitely give those zealous addicts something to shoot for.

Thanks for that update.

With the improvements in the ability to sell stuff for me and is looks like the start of the farms going to 32X32 which is great by the way, I won’t need to layer anymore. I will just buy what I need from my neighbors however, I will most likely still stay on the cycle of me posting my products from my facilities basically every three days so I can get all the crops I need, but now from my neighbors, not from my layers.

I can and only want to upgrade one farm, which is my farm 4, as the others basically don't have any crops on them at this time, however, I am sure that there will be more upgrade to the farms later.

[Lavenda]

thanks as always Devs!

Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes:

1. Holiday Items (All in Coins): Released last week. 24 new items compared to last year.

2. Improved Visibility Options: Last week we added a new option in the preference window 'Show Seasonal Items' to hide all Seasonal Items. Also, from now on, when you hide 'Decorations' all Winter items will be hidden as well.

3. 7 New Fences: 50s Fancy Fence, Concrete Stone Fence, Garden Wooden Fence, Stone Wrought Iron Fence, Lattice Fancy Fence, Gothic Fence and White Wooden Fence.

4. 26x26 Farm Expansions for first 4 farms: Here are the prices - 10,000,000,000 coins (10 billions) or 30 FarmCash.

5. Dans for Fish: When you earn all the 6 fish Belts you can now keep going to earn the next 6 Dans. This will keep increasing your chances of getting more fish with each future catch.

6. Crazy Fruits Minigame: Several weeks ago we enabled the multiplayer support for the Rounds Up minigame. Today we are launching our second minigame, Crazy Fruits, which already have multiplayer support enabled.

As usual, you have 3 stages and you can go into Practice mode to play each of the stages and improve personal records or you have the option to play multiplayer with all your friends currently in the farm, in this case, the user who finish all the 3 stages first win.

7. Hint about which farms have workable facilities: When working on your friends facilities we now show each farm with workable facilities in the farm selector.

8. Trading Improvements: The trading limits have been increased, here are the rules:

1. Minimum 12 hour limit increased from 1000 to 1500 to all players

2. Based on your Best Diversification Rank you can keep increasing that limit based on these rules:

Best Diversification Rank between 2000 and 5000, trading limit increased by 500 units
Best Diversification Rank between 5000 and 10000, trading limit increased by 1000 units
Best Diversification Rank between 10000 and 30000, trading limit increased by 1500 units
Best Diversification Rank between 30000 and 60000, trading limit increased by 2000 units
Best Diversification Rank between 60000 and 100000, trading limit increased by 2500 units

3. Based on the amount of business clothes you own. There are now 3 business clothes available in your Avatar Editor 'Clothes' section. For each business cloth you own your limit is increased by 1000 units, meaning, if you own the 3 business clothes your limit will be increased by 3000 units.

9. Brow Sprinkler is Back: The Brown Sprinkler is now back in the extended tool box and will function exactly as before, it will water and revive your flowers but will not accelerate anything.

The Red or Orange Sprinkler will still remain in the extended tool bar (right next to the Brown one) functioning as before, the Red one will accelerate crops and the Orange one will accelerate Crops, Trees and Flowers. Both of them will water your flowers as well.

Notice that when you buy the Orange one, it will still replace the Red one in the extended tool bar and from that point on the Red one will function as the Orange one.

You have to be kidding me!!!! Does anyone playing this game have $10 BILLION in the bank? Why so much??? What is with you guys here? You make it so difficult for people to expand and grow. It is so frustrating that it makes people want to quit? Some of your restrictions are absurd at best.

Response to issues stinks. I swear, this game is getting more and more frustrating to play, and more depressing than it is enjoyable. I wish I had never started playing this game at all. I did so only because I love the farming games and was having major issues with FarmVille.

You discourage people instead of encouraging them. $10 BILLION for a 4th upgrade??!! You act as if the land for this is coming from your own home town and not a game developer (or a pretend one).

I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU WANT SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE EXPANSION ON THOSE FARMS!! THAT'S JUST TOTALLY ABSURD!! I've been playing this game forever and I have never come close to having that much coins!! Come on Farm Town Devs. get REAL here!!! I may have to give up on this game and go to Castleville and stay there, since ya'll are DREAMING anyway!! ALSO why don't ya'll sell a Farm Cash gift card in the stores like Zynga does.. I'd ask for them for Christmas

[polishgirl25]

Excuse me -- 10 billion coins or $30 FC? That makes no sense, way too high for the expansion.... Sorry.

Of course that is an huge amount of coin.... but .... so what...

With a good amount of facilities and service facilities, a farmer can make billion$ and eventually buy it.

I see too much use of the word "unfair" when ever something becomes available and the long time players can get it "right now", while some of the newer players can't get it "right now".

Actually the first thought I had when I saw the 26x26 was this:

Is this a sign that farm 12 was the last farm.... and now we only can expect occasionally (4 at a time) expansions of the existing farms? I certainly hope NOT.

Objection #1 Do you REALLY need the expansion to continue to enjoy the game?

Objection #2 How is this expansion, which we thought from the beginning was NEVER going to happen, all of a sudden a problem?

Objection #3 It took "forever" to raise a million coin to buy that Big Red Mansion... lots of time, lots of effort, lots of coin (at that time).... and that was a "symbol" of success in this game. I think complainers ought to remember they can make tens of millions each week even without any Farm Cash Facilities..... so be patient, put in lots of time, lots of effort, and make the lots of coin necessary for this "symbol" of success.

Thanks for the update!! I see a lot of facility work and acorn squash being planted in my future!

I haven't had time to assimilate all the new things yet.

But an immediate reaction; THANK YOU for giving us back the brown sprinkler. It was a minor but constant irritation not to have it.
