Hi There,

We just released a new update with the following features and bug fixes: En Español AQUI

1. New Farm 42 and the first 4 expansions:

New Farm (12x12) --- 43000000000 or 50 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 14x14 - 43500000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 16x16 - 44000000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 18x18 - 44500000000 or 20 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 20x20 - 45000000000 or 20 FarmCash

2. Increased the availability of Salmon and Trout by 20%: The Sturgeon can no longer be catch in the Big Lake with Boat, this will effectively increase by 20% the availability of Salmon and Trout in the Big Lake with Boat.

3. Option to add up to 4 more shortcut spots: Counting from left to right in your neighbour bar, the 7th and 8th neighbour spots can now be replaced by 2 or 4 shortcut spots. In the shortcut screen click any of the 4 brown arrows to the left of the shortcut area to select how many neighbour spots you want to convert to shortcut spots.

4. Help note in co-op quest tabs: When checking the co-op quests of other farmers, any quest that has a product inside that you can help with will also have a help note on the quest tab.

5. Changes to the send gift screen: The layout of the send gift screen was changed to minimize the negative side effects of Facebook changes in this area.

6. Set all farms to the same crop option in the Super Neighbour Manager: For this use the dropdown arrow at the center-bottom of the Super Neighbour Manager screen.

7. Other minor improvements:

b) Added a 'Mute In This Session' option to the avatar menu so you can temporarily mute a farmer in the marketplace
a) The Flower Stand service facility can now be stocked with the Paradise Poppy Pot and the Hyacinth Marigold Pot produced in the Flower Shop

8. Other minor bug fixes:

a) In the market screen, sometimes the 'Harvest Products' section was empty
b) In the market screen, sometimes the 'Non-Ingredient for me' sort option was not working correctly
c) In the market screen, sometimes the 'Producing Facility' sort option was not showing up
d) In the market screen, sometimes the category dropdown could not be changed to another category
e) After searching for a facility in the Facility Manager and scrolling back to the top, sometimes random facilities were showing up at the very top of the list

9. Improvement to the Ship log book section (released 3 weeks ago): The log book section is now showing a green dot for each neighbour that is currently online, this can help you when deciding which neighbours to include in the ship itinerary and on which order.

10. Offshore Oil Rig (FC): This is a new facility that produces 3 times more Crude Oil Barrels than the current Oil Pump. This works similar to the Red Windmill and the Stone Windmill facilities, the Stone Windmill has 3 times more output than the Red Windmill.

Note 1: This facility is located in the Facility category in the Store. To make things more uniform we also moved the old Oil Pump from the Tools category to the Facilities category in the Store.

Note 2: This facility and the Oil Pump can be placed on the same farm and both be producing at the same time.

11. New Reed Crop: This crop is used in the Cheese Making Supplies Factory.

12. New Achiote Tree: The Achiote Pods that you harvest from this tree are used to produce the Ground Annatto Seeds in the Spice Factory.

13. Artisan Cheese Factory (FC): Produces Artisan Cheese.

Parmesan
Mozzarella
Gorgonzola
Cheddar
Manchego
Goat Brie
Gruyere
Spiced Gouda

New Products from other Facilities: Starter Culture and Rennet in the Semi-Trailer Truck. Ground Annatto Seeds in the Spice Factory.

14. Cheese Making Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Cheese Making Supplies.

Cheesecloth
Measuring Spoon Set
Reed Cheese Mat
Cheese Wax
Cheese Mold
Cheese Press
Cheese Trier
Cheese Cutter

New Products from other Facilities: Ground Annatto Seeds in the Spice Factory.

15. Artisan Cheese Store (FC): Provides Artisan Cheese Retail Services and can be stocked with products from the Artisan Cheese Factory.

16. Cheese-Butter Crafters World (Coins): Provides Cheese and Butter Tools Retail Services and can be stocked with products from the Cheese Making Supplies Factory and Butter Making Supplies Factory.

Enjoy!
