Hi Farmers,


Here are some bug fixes for the latest release:

1. Avatar slowness while farming: The speed of the avatar and the game has been improved significantly when farming (sowing,plowing,harvesting) alone and for others.

Also, when you hire others for plow, you will not see any more animations for increasing XP and decreasing Coins when others plow, it makes the game slower and really doesn't help much anyways.


2. Slow Deletes: Delete operations should be now as fast as they were before, with the yellow and white dozer.

3. Sometimes fields plowed on one farm were appearing on another farm, this should be now corrected.

4. Some users were able to impersonate messages and send messages as if they were forum moderators or other users. This impersonation security issue should now have been solved.

5. When you hire someone at the market and they start working on your farm, you can now see the status messages back on the screen as a sign that they are working.

6. Some people with very high XP were not able to advance in the levels, this is now fixed.

7. If you have a mobile sprinkler in your storage and you are visiting a neighbour farm, you should now see the sprinkler where the water can was before. The previous version of this fix didn't work 100% so please try again if you are having issues.

1. Farm 7: Below are the prices in coins. Farm Cash prices remain the same.

12x12 Farm 7: 7,000,000
14x14 Upgrade: 4,000,000
16x16 Upgrade: 5,000,000
18x18 Upgrade: 6,000,000
20x20 Upgrade: 200,000,000
22x22 Upgrade: 300,000,000
24x24 Upgrade: 400,000,000

2. 25 New Levels (60 items, all in coins): 25 new buildings and 35 new items added to the Container, Farming, Fun, Furniture, Motion and Other categories.

3. 18 Thanksgiving items and gifts (all in coins but 2): These were launched last week.

4. 15 new Farm Machinery Implements (decorations) as gifts: This will be launched later today or tomorrow.

5. Item Storage Improvements:

- 'Items' Tab added to market window: This will allow you to sell items in your storage without putting them in your farm first.

- Filters: You can now filter items in your item storage by category. There is one special category named 'Seasonal' that contains all Seasonal items.

6. Market Improvements:

- 'Sell Half' button added: This will allow you to sell only half of your products.

- 'Sell All' button below Non-Ingredients filter: This will allow you to sell all products at once when the 'Non-Ingredients' filter is selected. Based on user feedback, we may decide to add this button to other categories as well, although this can be a little risky.

7. Value added to premium tools: If you own a farm cash tool and have enough fuel to spare, you can now use those tools when working for others. When you get to the employee's farm, the Gifts and Store icons will be replaced by any Farm Cash tool you could use.

8. Trading limit expanded: You can now buy up to 1000 products (almost a full farm with tight fields) every 12 hours with other players to meet the demand of your facilities.

9. Hamburger Restaurant: Allows you to produce burgers. You can produce burger bread in the bakery. You can catch Mahi Mahi on the Small Sea Coasts.

Supreme Burger

10. Frozen Food Factory: Allows you to produce food. You can catch Cod on the Big Sea Coasts.

11. Cosmetic Factory: Allows you to produce cosmetics.

You can produce beeswax in the Bee Farm.
You can produce cocoa butter in the Chocolate Factory.
You can produce plasticizer in the Petrochemical Plant.
You can produce talc rocks in the Open-Pit Mine.
The 'Ink Factory' was upgraded to the 'Ink and Pigments Factory', so you can produce the required pigments.

12. Air Fresheners Factory: Allows you to produce Air Fresheners.

Bathroom Air Fresheners
Incense Sticks
Scented Candles

Reed Diffusers

Enjoy!

Thanks

At any rate, I know you can do up to 32 trees at one time. I also know that it can not do as many oak, I am thinking perhaps it will only do 8 oak trees at a time. What I really want to know is how much fuel does it take to do how many trees. Do you get charge fuel per click or per tree? Does it cost any coins to use. I don't think it does, but I really want to know these things before I buy it.

It takes one fuel tank per tree

Hi, it actually uses 2 units of fuel if it does a lot of trees and 1 unit of fuel if it only does a few trees.

Don't know if the slow down was intentional on the part of the developers or not, but I do know it probably makes employers want to hire people with the equipment more, especially if they are in a hurry.

I've noticed no slow down when I work for others at the MP. The avatar takes longer to catch up, but the actual number of plots I can click and harvest or plow hasn't changed.

[SueW170]

Though the new 4x4 tools are a great addition to the game and the developers are to be complimented for their ingenuity, I find that I do just fine both on my own farms and when working at the MP without them. So, obviously, it's merely a matter of whether one wants the slightly increased harvesting, plowing and planting speed vs. the 3x3's. In no way a necessity to have them to enjoy playing the game, NOR a necessity to get and do work at the MP. In fact, I mention when first asking for a job that I "don't have 4x4 tools but will work efficiently and complete any job I accept." And usually am hired right away. Had thought this might not be the case, but am happy to find it is.

I find they are more often conversation starters, and I "chat" with the farm owner longer than before. I not only share the speed of the tools, but I wind up sharing a LOT of the things I have learned... especially to those of lower levels who just hired me.

Thanks for the tools devs. They have been the inducement to go back and work in the market. Lord knows I don't need the points or the money.






.

I can see both points of view on this, but I am pleased with the decision. Myself and others who have joint problems can now enjoy working for others, and as above can now talk with our employers which is great.
