Default New Release -- March 15th, 2011

Hi There,

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

UPDATE 18th March... Production in the Oil Refinery, Bee Farm & Fish Farming Plant has been tripled

UPDATE 19th March... Petrochemical Barrels have also been tripled in the Oil Refinery

1.Animal Buildings are now always shown in the Facility Manager.

2.Fishing Boat 5x5 (FC): If you already own the Fishing Boat 3x3, then you can buy this new Fishing Boat to fish almost 3 times faster, up to 25 fish at a time.

3.Summarizing Coins and XP in multitools: When using multitools, the coins and xp are now summarized for every click instead of shown for every single field.

If you want to get rid of all coins, xp and bonus box animations completely, you can now control that with the 'Show Coins and XP Animations' option in the preferences window.

4.Ordering Station w/ Trailer (FC): Enable the 'All' button when Ordering products from the Truck.

Also, with the extra trailer capacity products are delivered twice as fast, it's like duplicating the output of each Truck assuming you have enough fuel.

Note that if you have multiple Trucks, you only need to buy one Ordering Station w/ Trailer, and all your Trucks will benefit.

5.Improved Help System: When you hit any green ? (Help) button on any context you will see now a graphical help system which will allow you to quickly understand things like:

- Detailed view of what can you make in a facility, even before you buy it
- What ingredients are needed to make a product
- Which products can you make with a specific ingredient
- On which water items you can catch a specific fish

You can browse and drill down as deep as you want.

6.Alternate View of the Ice Cream Factory.

7.Soft Drink Factory (Coins): Allows you to produce Soft Drinks. You can get Carbonated Water as gifts or from the Truck. You can make Caffeine in the Coffee Grinder.

Coconut Water
Orange Soda
Lemon Soda
Ginger Ale
Cream Soda
Farmerade
Cola

8.Ice Cream Shop (FC): Allows you to produce Ice Cream treats and smoothies. You can make Whipped Cream in the Dairy Processing Plant. You can make Waffle Cone in the Bakery.

Coffee Waffle Cone
Banana Strawberry Smoothie
Berry Smoothie
Apple Pie a la Mode
Ice Cream Sandwich
Cola Float
Chocolate Mint Shake
Hot Fudge Sundae

9.Harvest Storage space increased once again.

10.Diversification Rank shown in Facility Manager: The header in the facility manager now shows a new measure of success for players using facilities:

Your Diversification Rank: ### Best: ###

Your Diversification Rank is calculated using the following method:

- For each Facility you own you get 25 points

- For each Product in a facility with pending productions you get:

- 5 points if you have 19% or less of the product capacity used
- 6 points if you have between 20 and 39% of the product capacity used
- 7 points if you have between 40 and 59% of the product capacity used
- 8 points if you have between 60 and 79% of the product capacity used
- 9 points if you have between 80 and 99% of the product capacity used
- 10 points if you have 100% of the product capacity used

The 'Best:' value always shows the best Diversification Rank you have been able to achieve at any point in the game.

In the near future you will receive benefits like ingredients or speed or better price depending on your diversification rank.

Note also that you can still use the Utilization and Done filters for an overview of those counters.

11.Two weeks ago we launched a couple of things:

- When you change filtering or sorting options, the change is remembered forever
- Fixed all filters in facility manager and added a new filter 'All Facilities in All Farms' which should speed up things considerably


New levels, Farm 9 and Service Facilities coming up in the next release. Easter items coming up in about a week.

Enjoy!

Thanks

--Raul
