New Release -- January 21st, 2012

good point Gezza. i've never thought of it that way. though now i'm hoping they have run out of tools to add LOL. its usually those i like to buy first.

i love the addition of levels. especially if i'm not at that xp level yet, then i have something to work towards i love the new upgrades. i was planting my farm yesterday when i ran into the scallions that were not listed when i started. so off i went and got the new buildings and started planting again. i just wish the expansions were a little cheaper i'm not making coin as fast as others.

I play FT because I enjoy the heck out of it. I reached the 'Top' a long time ago and every subsequent upgrade only adds levels - I no longer have to 'work' for them. I don't think the point of the game is to win - I'm not really sure there is such a thing as 'winning'. Now, in all honesty, I'm not a competitive sort of person - hence the idea of 'winning' holds little appeal to me.
I think there are a few points - one is to socialize and meet new people. This game is worldwide and has allowed me to meet some very nice people from all over the world.
Another point is to allow people to create beauty. It takes a great deal of patience, creativity and imagination to utilize the materials that the dev's have given us - and create unique lands and towns and living areas.
The details in each building, shore, hill, flower, animal - are unlike any other game here on FB - the dev's have worked very hard to come as close to reality as possible - including shading and functionality - which they continually advance.
I sincerely hope that I am not in the minority - I would really be very unhappy were this game to disappear. I have put a lot into it - not to win - but to enjoy.
As with anything in the development world - nothing is perfect. There will always be something which can be improved - and for most developers, constructive criticism is appreciated. (I say that having been a developer in a previous life.)
Also having been a developer once upon a time - I know that the one thing that developers RARELY get from clients is 'Good Job'. The requisite 'thank you' is there - but, the notice of the little extras - the things that don't get published - is usually not there. Praise for the good things is far more powerful that denigrating commentaries.
To the devs:
I thank you truly for allowing a place for my creativity to flourish. Good job! Everything you do is much appreciated.

To any farmers looking for a 'FT Neighbor' - I am always available.
Thanks!

Very well said. I agree with you, I'm not in this to "Beat"someone's score or coin total. I love that you can play the way you enjoy the game. Kudos to the Development team.

WOW. The prices of farming are becoming insane. I am guessing the only people to afford the 13th bigger expansions are those layering 10 deep or using farm cash. I for one never believed layering was acceptable to get outrageous points and coins ,while those "Farming" real crops earn the coins and points. Very much unhappy that people are rewarded by layering are the ones able to afford the Billion dollar expansions. But, hey , what is the few unhappy folks doing it the old fashion way, using farm cash and in the fair way , earning it?

I do not layer and I did not use farm cash to buy my farm 13. I bought all except the 26x26 for coins and don't consider the 26x26 as necessary for all farms. Farm 13 is only a slight increase over what farm 12 cost.

Hi I am also someone who has never layered or bought any of my farms with Farmcash. I bought farm 13 and extended it to 26x26 with coins.It's the only extension i have bought but will perhaps save coins for another of the less pricy ones! i have nearly 4 billion coins still. Anyway i love the game and have been playing since the start. i do spend a bit of real money but don't have or want all the cash facilities. My farms are very manageable and that's how i like it!!

When we invite neighbors to work in our factories and clients we have in the past been able to change the list and save it until we change it again. now we save changes and it does not save. Are we missing something? We would both like to change the people we invite from time to time. Thanks for your help.
