See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last update released on November 12th, 8:15PM.

Hi There,

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

1. 10 Halloween decorations (released last week):

2. 58 x 58 farm expansions for Farms 1 through 15 (Postponed for the next release):

3. 25 new Levels: 18 new decorations, 4 buildings and 14 in the Farm Decor category in the store.

4. Securing your access to your Farmtown account: Most of our time in the past month has been dedicated to comply with new Facebook security requirements, and still, Farmtown was deactivated by Facebook for 1 week.

We decided that Farmtown will continue to be accessed on Facebook, however, if Facebook requirements become too demanding in the future, we may have to move Farmtown to our own dedicated website.

In this case, the only way to access your current Facebook Farmtown account will be if you have it linked to your email.

The next time you load the game, you will see a screen allowing you to link your current Facebook Farmtown account to your email.

If you have multiple Facebook Farmtown accounts, you will have to link each one to a different email.

If for some reason you lose access to the linked email inbox, please remember to link your Facebook Farmtown account again to another email, otherwise, you will not be able to access your Facebook Farmtown farms on the new Farmtown website.

When the new Farmtown website is ready, we will send you an email to the linked email you provided with instructions on how to access your Facebook Farmtown farms in the new Farmtown website.

5. Minor Improvements:

- Always open the Belts screen in the 'Recent Belts' tab if there are pending bonus collections available
- Bugfix: Items reverting back to previous positions when designing for a Super Neighbour with both players online and present in the farm
- Bugfix: Wrong footprint when trying to move certain train long wagons in the farm

- Bugfix: Sometimes the Non-Ingredient (for me) filter in the Storage screen was not showing the correct products

- Bugfix: Send gifts back from the 'My Request' tab now counts toward the Send Gift Farm Pass goal

7. Turbo Oil Factory: This is a new facility that produces 3 times More Oil than the current Oil Factory.
