New Release -- December 3rd, 2010

Great upgrade - thanks. Looking forward to the NEW holiday stuff in the next upgrade but happy in the meantime. One point though - I would love to buy gift cards for my farmer friends and neighbors but not at that price? Can you make some available for $5, $10, $20 & $25 please.... then I can buy several for friends who've helped me but I don't even spend $50 on my family so that is prohibitive. THANKS for all the work.

I would like to know why I can't gift 25Fc. 55 seems kinda steep for some of the people I would gift to.

I planted a bunch of them last night... just checked.... If memory serves this old guy right, then they have been in the ground about 10 hours and they say 30%

Not a 12 hour crop, and it does not seem to be a one day crop.... slightly longer.

anybody know for sure??

At least it does not seem to be like cedar trees or longer.

Thank you Raul and developers for another great update.

Hi Farmers,

We just released a new version of the game with the following features:


2. Plow Tool Improvement: The plow tool now works similar to when you are hired for plow, if you are on top of a harvested or gone to waste field, you will see only the highlighted fields. You will only see the red or green cursor when you are over grass.

Thanks

--Raul

Thanks Raul!
But this improvement only useful when you plow on a harvested or gone to waste fields. When you plow a new field, it's seem to be annoy.
I tested on my farm and saw that: when you plow on grass, and move the cursor to plow next fields, the cursor disappears about 0.8 second, before it reappear for you to plow next fields. Especially when you move the cursor though 'plowing field' (-20 coins ascendant), delay time is 1 second.
I think this improvement is not very important to players, and if I can compare, I will choose the plow tool before.
Thanks for reading.

Hi there, I personally like the new plow for our farms and was stoked when it was released. I can now plow in half the time, as the old green/red blade used to take number of seconds to register before I could click to plow. I gather we still need the red/green blade to show up for placing new fields, as I had to do that this morning. I also like how the new plow seeks out fields in and around other objects. It is excellent for plowing my sloping crop on my island farm. After using the new plow option a few times, I find I don't have the red/green blade showing so often. It is like a lot of things, getting used to something new and then can't do without it.

Yes, I agree with you new plow tool help us plow faster, but it only fast when you plow on designed fields (harvested or gone to waste). I agree with you when you plow new fields, there are a green square, too; but I wonder why the cursor flash and disappear everytime I move the cursor, and 1 second it appear again.
And, this situation doesn't effect to normal farm (have a gap between fields)

Haven't tried it for plowing new fields yet. But I did find the red and green squares useful in that case for getting things lined up and not accidentally leaving gaps. But I'm sure that I'll adjust to the new method.
