Default New Release -- April 28, 2010

Hey there,

We just released a new version with the following features/changes:

1. You can now fish at your farm in the ponds, lakes and rivers using the Fishing Rod in the tools menu (below the watering can). These are the rules:

- If you had already water items in your farms, your fish are almost sure already grown so you can start fishing right away. If you just purchased a water item, then you may have to wait 8 or 24 hours for the fish to grow.

- To fish, just select the Fishing Rod and start clicking on the water. You will see the Fish count decreasing as you start catching fish.

- If the fish count is 0, it means you need to wait until all fish grow again. You don't need to wait until the counter gets to 0 as that can be quite hard, your lake or river will be full with fish in 8 or 24 hours anyways.

- On the 'Ponds' section on the store, click the '?' icon next to each item to see the type of fish living on it, how fast the fish grow again, etc.

- In general, the less fish in the water, the harder it gets.

2. We had to limit the amount of products you can have producing at the same time on each facility.

The risk of inflation is too high which could impact the game dinamics significantly. The general rule is, you can only have 15 days of continuos production pending for each recipe.

3. Sandwich Restaurant Facility (Coins) allows you to make:

- Standard Sandwich (Ham/Cheese)
- Sandwich with Veggies (add Lettuce and Tomatoes)
- Sandwich Supreme (Add Pickles and Onions) -> Get pickles from friends for now, later on you will be able to produce them on the Food Preserve Factory.
- Hotdog -> get Sausage from friends or order them from the Semi-Truck tool. Get Ketchup from friends or make it on the Food Preserve Factory.

4. Food Preserve Factory (FarmCash) allows you to make:

- Strawberry and Blackberry Jams
- Pear and Peach Slices in Conserve
- Orange Marmalade
- Ketchup
- Fruit Cocktail

5. 7 new crops available:

Lettuce, Peanut, Mint, Grape Tomato, Celery, Garlic and Ginger.

6. In the storage, there is now a '?' button next to each product that can be used as ingredient for other products. This will allow you to quickly make a better decision about selling the item or use it to create other products.

Sorry for the long post.

Enjoy.

Thanks

--Raul

Where do you get a fishing rod?

BTW, I LOVE FARMTOWN with all of the new additions!! I have many of the new Facilities, and hope to get them all eventually. (FarmVille should be THIS GOOD, but they are losing ground when it comes to adding what people want!)

It's right by the Watering Can:

Ok, so now I have to make another Inventory chart...heehee.


Oh, and it would seem a couple of the new things like
Peanuts...charge you 100 to plant and only show up as paying out 7.


Surely that's an error, yes?

can't see the fishing rod yet, but yay for the update! There appear to be pricing errors for the mint and peanuts, I'm exstatic that blackberries will get used (and my pears & peaches) but ARGH! I have been saving my FC for the chocolate factory and now the preserves factory is 30FC too... I delayed the choc factory for the juice one as I would get more use out of it and the same is going to happen with the preserves factory. It wouldn't be so bad if we actually got "Application of the day" every couple of days but I don't think I have had one for 2 weeks. And thank you for doing something to address the game dynamics (and hopefully future updates continue to do so because I still think the facilities have made earning coin and xps too easy).

The question mark beside items in storage is a good idea, however it's not showing in the market where I think it would really be needed.

Thanks again for the update
