New Release -- October 30th, 2009

FYI - I've seen a lot of posts about fuel and storage.

You cannot store fuel in your storage area.
The refuel option will automatically use any and all fuel gifts that you have accepted.

I love the new release - I love all the releases! Thanks dev team!

Thank you for the storage, I am making good use of it!

Unfortunately, that's something that is controlled by Facebook/MySpace rather than Farm Town.

I have had that problem also and I have found that when people harvest if they will click the save pending changes button and when it pops up saved then it doesn't come back.

My son in law who does computer work has uninstalled IE 8 and Adobe 10 and and reinstalled, gone thru my CPU and says he can't find anything. There has to be an answer to the problem. I am a level 32 and never had a problem until the 20th of Oct, which is when you added some new stuff then also.

Laurel, I don't know if this will help but when I installed IE8, I couldn't get anything to work on it. However, I typically use Firefox and I can still load Farmtown on Firefox just fine. Maybe try that? Or go back to IE7? I could be wrong, but I have a hunch the issue you're having is with your browser - not with Farmtown.

Well a couple of things:

First I LOVE that we now have storage (I felt it was coming when we got halloween themed items, especially for farm cash, and then Island Paradise brought it in...) BUT..

Why can't we store animals, trees, and flowers? Those are the three biggest things for me, and you can't neccessarily buy them (I am not high enough yet to buy all the flowers and you can't buy trees, and some animals you can't buy period) nor do I really want to (I am cheap, I don't care how many coins I have, I don't like spending them unnecessarily because if I do, something that I REALLY want comes up and I don't have enough coin...) Trees and flowers I *think* I can understand why they wouldn't be stored (they both have growing functions where they start out in one state, but then they can 'mature' to a different state) but animals? and with the trees and flowers, could just be treated as if you deleted them and then added them back without losing coin or gaining XP. I really want to rearrange my farm, but I have a ton of trees, flowers and animals that I would need to move and no place to put them.

Second, the neighbor adding thing, this has nearly turned me off of Facebook games in general. I know of at least two people who don't want to add random people to their accounts just to get neighbors. (I have added people, but I HATE HATE HATE the neighbor add page, it is SO slow and clunky to me) Plus, think of this, how many of us actually ONLY play farmtown? I am sure there are many that do, but I personally play Farm town, Mafia Wars, Castle Age, Ghost town, Island Paradise, just trying country Life, yoville, Knighthood, Battlestations, and Treasure mania, all of which you really need large friend lists to be able to enjoy them fully (I don't actually play all those everyday, IP I basically plant a few times a day, yoville, knighthood, Battlestations and treasure mania I play when I get the urge to, as is FT, the others though are my main ones) Now, I have added a LOT of people for mafia wars, and pretty much send invites to all other games to those same people, but most of them don't want to play any of them, so for each game I play, and others play, because of the emphasis on having 'crew/neighbors/mafia/army/whatever' you can easily get to the limit on FB friends if you play even a small handful of games. Both Castle Age and Mafia wars limit their players to really having an advantage with 501 members(they can have more, but they don't give advantages) so there is 1000 there (give or take a dozen or so for overlap) if you want to make sure you don't get killed when someone with a larger army/mafia attacks. Now add in FT, people who play Mafia wars and CA don't necessarily want to play FT, so there is another set of friends to be added to be able to play fully. And the more games you play (and while it seems like a lot of games to play, remember that each game usually has a set 'energy' that you use up and when you use it, you have to wait for it to regenerate, or you have to wait for crops to grow, so most games you play them, and once you get to higher levels, they go quickly (I can usually play Mafia Wars, Castle Age, Island Paradise, Treasure Mania, and Ghost Town, and now Country Life in probably 2 hours and that is a generous estimate, and most of that is waiting around waiting for pages to load and actions to be done, not actual playing, I stay on longer to chat with my sister, and to wait for my energy to reload in various games, most of the time it takes less because the energy takes quite a while to fully recharge, and you don't have to actually wait until it is fully recharged to play so I end up only have a fraction of the energy to use, and thus it takes a fraction of the time to play the game,even with full refills for leveling up, it takes very little time to play most games.)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that in nearly every single one of my games, I have a number of people who the game says they play the game, but even though I send them a neighbor invite (or whatever) they never do add me, it just sits there until I delete it and resend (in which case it sits there some more usually), which means that even though they play the game and I play the game, I don't get the benefits of them playing the game...

I can't think of anything else to add, like I said first, I do love the storage, just not fond of the limitations (and yes I went through and added a BUNCH more neighbors (they were already FB friends, just remember when I said I hate the FT neighbor page? i wasn't kidding) and got up to I think 123 storage (not sure, would have to check exact number)) I mentioned.
