New Release -- September 1st, 2010

[Queen.of.Clutter]

I know at least one person mentioned this, but I am having a problem with planting since the upgrade. It may let me plant some fields and then suddenly won't let me plant any more! VERY frustrating! Hope it gets fixed soon!

They found that if you have your decorations hid planting is tedious...unhide decorations and it should work fine. I am guessing the Devs are working on it, but am not a Dev so don't know for sure![/QUOTE]

I ran into that also, while deleting fields, and all I did was click the walking icon then the dozer again ... then it worked fine. Same with plowing .... it stopped working so I clicked the little guy then reclicked on the plow tool .....

[melizabeth5]

Judging from the cost of farm #5.... plan on $200 million for #6 if you use coin, and perhaps the sizes up to 18x18 will be "cheap" and not require FT$$

I think we still might get them before the day is over.

.

I hope so...I can't get any real world things done for constantly checking FT for #6.

[casunderman]

Any idea when the 6th farm is coming? Hopefully the expansions won't be so pricy!!

Thanks--Love this game
Carol

[casunderman]

Two Hundred million--mercy!!

[boulegenereux]

Waiting 6th farm, we need it to put all new building and facilities

[Farmer Jennifer Dawn]

saw barrels missing from the marketplace and got a bit hopeful...but alas.....no 6th farm yet.....

[tinkerbrock]

Thank You ALL! This game just keeps getting better and better!

[Eadie]

Thanks Tons for all the new stuff!! LOVE that I can change my default farm!! You folks are A M A Z I N G!!!

[1fritz]

Alas! Another use for wheat. I just can't grow enough wheat. If only (wrings hands and sobs) the wheat was one-for-one instead of two-for-one. Alack! (What does alack mean, anyway?) ;^)

Alack...an old Sloivaen word meaning. "can't nobody grow enough wheat no more.":)

[1fritz]

25% - because they said "soon"
15% - because a holiday weekend would be a good choice
15% - because it has been 3 weeks, and they have been getting shorter and shorter times between some updates
30% - because I am trying to get other things in order and get ready before the release...and Murphy's law applies to everything..so...
10% - because the hope I have is NOT in the US Pres.:rolleyes:

and, like all pole results....

5% .... undecided

.

I don't think today or night as is now the case.

Tuesday..The Devs need time off and I'm guessing they have to be at their computers when a new release occurs.

There are too many people taking Labor Day off. Could overload the servers, if unusally large numbers of players start buying the new far at the same time.

I hope I'm wrong and Stoneface is correct. :)

perhaps not.....but who knows........certainly not me......


can someone please go to the beach bar and order some drinks while we wait?

[Big Honking Toe]

A month later and really need a use for Goat Cheese(I got 66k of it now), and I might have came up with a use for it.I train a army of rats feeding them the goat cheese and have them storm the slashkey offices and forces the devs to make a use for the goat cheese.

On another note I love the Chain saw ;)

And on a idea stand point would have to have holiday themed buildings(Eg Haunted House for halloween).

We do have holiday houses.. I have my haunted farm house on my first farm now.. we had one for Christmas too......there was another Halloween one too for FC my sister bought it last year..

[speedmonkey]

great for all those things but where are we supposed to come up with all this extra money that this stuff costs? any solutions?

Don't know what level you are but when they release the new levels you will get more FC if you level up. You could always go do the free offers to get FC, and if all else fails, you could do like so many of the rest of us and buy the FC. Those are the three options you have for getting FC for yourself. You could also ask your friends and relatives to gift you FC items from the store.

[speedmonkey]

Don't know if this has been asked, but when we fertilize our crops on a farm does that also include any trees? I don't have any trees on the two farms I use to plant/harvest so I have no idea. Thanks! :)

If you read the thing that pops up when you fertilize your farm it tells you what get fertilized, how long the fertilization lasts and just about anything else you need to know about how the fertilizer works.

[speedmonkey]

Two Hundred million--mercy!!

Keep in mind that this just coin! Coin is fairly easy to get. Imagine having to buy all of the land and upgrades with FC! I average well over 50 thousand a day if I keep my factories well stocked, work my neighbors farms and factories, and maybe take some jobs from the market place. Besides, if they made them any less expensive people would complain that they had nothing left to work towards! :)

[StoneFace]

Okay, no new farm yet.

I can exercise patience on the Lord's day for sure.

Looks now like it will be the same as last week.... on a Wednesday.

Hmmm...... four more days, another 50-60mill income. I guess I can handle that and be prepared to buy even 3 or more new farms. :cool:

170mill in coins is burning a hole in Bobcat's pocket. Solution? A 6th farm....or how about a FarmTown casino so he can blow it all at the blackjack table:D

[servocrow]

I failed to say this earlier...but I LOVE BEING ABLE TO TOGGLE WHICH FARM IS THE PRIMARY VIEW!!!

Now, I can rotate my seasonal farms around....YAY!! Can't wait for the new Autumn decorations!! Yes, I did keep some from last year....wished I held onto the tombstones.

Oh well...no matter. Happy Farming!!!

I have over 400mil in coins and do the daily app for FC (which I get occ., does not always pay). I attribute this to helping neighbors on their farms; harvesting and plowing/ working facilities. The Manure spreader is another means of making extra coins by fertilizing crops. I send gifts 2 x a day; u can send every 12 hrs. and get a few more gifts in return. Coins can be made just by working like farmers.
BUT AS THE OLD SAYING GOES THE SQUEAKING WHEEL GETS THE OIL. lol:D

[dkrushing]

Please give us farm 6 today!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!

this is a brilliant idea!!!!!
Why not make a casino with games, or at least slots, and have prizes - ie: farm cash for three $$$, flour, tomatoes, gift item, or ltd edition items. Then when we are waiting & have nothing to spend our hard-earned cash on, we can play with it - keep us a little more patient maybe? And then people who can't afford to purchase FC could have another way to try for it. With the luck of the draw?

[lpbopeep]

Remind me....would 2 wool sheds spead my shearing?

[Cheeky1]

Is there any chance of changing our old look facilities for the new look ones? My Olive oil factory is the old cartoony one, can I change it for the new look version?

Deb, the new flowers are beautiful - Thank-you!

Devs - Could we please have another flower "crop" (like Sunflowers) to grow in our fields.....and be able to use them in the Flower Shop?

Thanks to the development team for all you do!!!

[Bingaroo]

Did something change with the production time of cheese? 4 hours to make 6 cheese? I can't make enough cheese to support the new Pasta recipies. I've purchased 4 Dairy Processing facilities to try to keep up, but even with that, it's not enough! Can you shorten the cheese production time to 2 hours or raise the amount of cheese that's produced in the 4 hours? PLEASE!!!!!

[lulu836]

FWIW I agree.

Four??????????

Do you mean 4 dairy sheds with 100 cows each?

If you have 5 dairy sheds (500 cows) and harvest twice a day.... and 2 Dairy Plants, what else could you be using so much cheese for?

Just curious.

[Bingaroo]

No I have 1 Dairy Shed and 4 Dairy Processing Plants. Each processing plant can only produce 6 cheese in 4 hours. There are too many facilities that use cheese as an ingredient and I can't produce enough to keep my facilities active.

Are you requesting help from your neighbors by using the 'produce faster' button?

[sdslafayette]

:confused:These tools are wonderful, HOWEVER -- how is one to buy them if they are only available with Farm Cash? The new levels (already at 115) are not coming fast enough to accumulate sufficient Farm Cash to buy them . . .

The coin purchase ought to be an option for anything!!!!!

This has been the subjection of many discussions.
There are lots of coin items on farmtown which you can earn. There are also premium items available using farmcash. Farmcash can either be obtained thru leveling up, purchasing or through various offers.
If you want the farmcash items bad enough and can't level up fast enough, or don't want to do the offers....then you will buy them.
You don't have to have every single thing offered.
Funny, were people complaining about farmcash before all the facilities and tools came out?

[skellyman.tom]

Still think it would be nice to be able to sell just part of a harvested item.

I have one dairy factory, and 4 cow barns. Not all the cow barns are maxed out either. Right now I have over 5000 cheeses in my storage.

i have enough cheese as well, although i don't attempt to max out every facility i own. I don't have the patience to do that....its just a game. I play it for fun, not to get aggravated by what i can and cannot do.......

it is what it is.....

[Sallah]

If your dairy processing plants are all on the same farm, then you really only have one.

How many cows do you have???

I would like that option too...... as I said before, the option could be similar to the +10button for increasing production...

it would be a -10 button for selling items in storage.

Of course I don't want to sell part of the over 20million in Champagne barrels and similar in the Red Wine and White Wine..... but some items are way, WAY more than I need and I have to consider selling the whole quantity and then re-building the quantity..........

or

a

button


:D

[Trixye Sue]

love this game! Thanks Raul and the gang and a HUGE thank you to Debbie for the fantastic flowers! As for FC I agree with all who said it in not unfair that the premium items cost FC. I buy FC and I will continue. AM I rich? Nope but really, the amount of farm cash you get for a small amount of money is well worth it. The devs deserve to make a profit from this and I will play this game as long as it is available. Now if we can get that 6th farm.....:rolleyes:

[mamalade]

*****Post launch fixes*****
...- There is a warning once per day, that alert you when you have decorations, buildings or other stuff hidden in the game, so you don't panic when you see all them gone without remembering why.
--Raul

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, could a checkbox be added to this dialog, or another box to the "Wrench" menu, to HIDE this "warning"? Could it be removed automatically after players have reached a certain level?
I can see how someone below level 10 would need this reminder, but NO ONE above this level should really need it, and it's already become a major headache.
This would have been much better implemented had it been a warning to those below level 20 that they can/SHOULD hide trees, decorations, etc., to decrease load times, especially when working at someone else's farm(s).
However, at least the current warning is useful for a scant few players; the addition to the Daily Lottery dialog of the prompt reminding players to take screenshots of their farms DOES NOT. This is one of those annoying things "the other games" do which drive people up the wall, and eventually makes players leave. Can this, too, PLEASE, be fixed?

i don't understand how it is that big of a deal. It takes a fraction of a second to click it off.....its nice to have a reminder sometimes. I have few decorations out on my farm these days and its nice to remember where they are if they are hidden or not.....

[InePine]

After the crapcrops got introduced i have a huge storage problem. We need more room to store our double crops or i will run into some serious problems soon. Yesterday i had to sell all my peanut butter, strawberry jam, hot dog bread and olive oil (i soooo wish i could sell parts of my inventory and not all or nothing) to be able to harvest my crops and get the stuff i produced out of my factories to take to the market to sell.

Also, after the big bulldozer fix my seeder and harvester jumps across fields and starts planting/harvesting on the neighbor field, specially annoying with the seeder when i have plans to plant something else on that field, i have to delete and plow over again because of the seeder. Big time annoying! Cant believe noone else wrote anything about this, but it would be great if we could get the old behaviour back on the seeder/harvester :)

In other sections of this message board you will see many players who come here because they purchased a building and it is no longer there. Most of the time they had their buildings turned off and forgot about it. These are not level 20 and below players.

Crapcrops????? Doublecrops?????

It sounds like you need to clean out your productions more often. I start production and empty stored items, especially those needed in other facilities, 3-4 times a day. I have never HAD to sell anything I needed.

For the seeder, check if your "leave space between fields" has turned back on; that is what happened to me.

If you look back at the first ten pages of this thread, you will see that MANY people freaked out that their items were gone, when in reality they were hidden. The devs put this warning in as a response to our comments. We shouldn't complain about a couple of messages each day...Zynga games have 8-10 per day, plus more popping up ALL the time.

I empty my facilities once or twice a day. Shouldnt really be needed to go through all your facilities and hurry to go sell whatever you produced 3-4 times a day to avoid your storage getting filled up, thats my point.
I had to sell my peanut butter etc because i had 50k peanut butter, 20k olive oil etc, i didnt have room to keep that amount of stuff so i had to sell ALL of it and start producing new materials for my sandwich restaurant etc, so i wish for either bigger storage or the option to sell parts of my products.

And my space between fields option is fine, its just that the seeder jumps to a different field and starts planting there if i am trying to plant on 2 squares on the edge of a field.

[speedmonkey]

It won't speed it up but it will give you a larger amount of wool each time you collect. You have to put them on different farms though.

The storage limit is not so much the amount of stuff you have in storage but the number of windows you have in storage. You can have 3 windows for the same type of item in storage. Pineapple is an example of this. You can have gift pineapple, pineapple (this is self harvested pineapple), and large pineapple (this is hired harvested pineapple). Now each of those windows takes up memory space in the storage area. So when you get the message that your storage is getting full if you go and load up the facilities and sell all non ingredients you should be fine on room even if one item has 130,000 units of one thing in storage. When you fill up your facilities it will use ingredients in this order gift, self harvested or what you made (ie chocolate liquor), then large. Because of this if you load up a facility chances are you will at least empty the gift window and probably the self harvested window, leaving only the large window. Also selling all non ingredients frees up tons of room in your storage even if you only had 600 units of that item in storage the window is gone so that gives you more room. One more option for you to do is with your ingredients like olive oil when you make some do not store it you can leave it in the facility forever if you like, this way you can build up lets say 6 or 7 thousand units then go to the mp and sell the 40,000 you have in storage that is going to take you ages to use. Now go back to your farm and store what is in the facility that way you have some olive oil to do stuff with and not have to wait for more to make.

:confused:These tools are wonderful, HOWEVER -- how is one to buy them if they are only available with Farm Cash? The new levels (already at 115) are not coming fast enough to accumulate sufficient Farm Cash to buy them . . .

The coin purchase ought to be an option for anything!!!!!


No they should not, FC items are no different than the stuff in any of the other games that you can play on Facebook. Go play any other game and you will find that there is very little you can do if you don't go buy their stupid special money either. Just about every thing that they offer you has to be purchased that way and then they are only have as functional or fun. You choose to play the game, if you don't want to do the free offers, wait and earn the FC by leveling up, or spend the money to get it, the choice is yours. It is not up to the game developers to give you all the stuff you want just because you want it. Amazingly, they like to get paid for what they do and they already offer so much to you for free that it is not at all unfair, inappropriate or any other version of wrong for them to expect people to put a little effort or money into EARNING the stuff you want.

[speedmonkey]

[BobcatTchai]

I agree with what others have said about the modest number of pop-ups on FarmTown. I find compared to other games (yes especially of the Zynga variety) that they are few and far between. Once again an example of the game developers listening to what players in general would prefer. One (of several) reasons I stopped playing 'that other farm game' was the ridiculous number of pop-ups for completely useless reasons that would interfere with general game play.

There have actually been many posts in here relating to this subject. I really don't totally myself understand how people don't "get it". The game itself is offered for free play, but as any business common sense tells us it certainly is not free to run it etc... SO one way to help with the costs is to offer special things that you CAN"T get other than by using FC and FC that is actually purchased. FC when given to you by the game is a very nice added bonus the game offers yet it does not pay the people who put their time in and provide us with the game!! It is not expected that everyone will be able to purchase and have these items, much like I don't expect to live in a Beverly Hills Mansion.

Hope this helps~ Debbie Sue :)

[Lilybet]

HI, I am having glitches with sowing, it keeps not showing the seeder, and or not selecting the fields to sow. Reselecting the seeder or the seed in the shop doesn't always work to be able to sow, it just keeps glitching. Please fix. Noticing it particularly on the farms with rivers in case this is conflicting and causing it. Happened on my 3rd farm first, and on my 1st farm as well. But did not occur on my 2nd, 4th or 5th farm, that do not have rivers on them

[TribalCat]

I love the log truck and chainsaw! I've been chopping my trees only about every 7-10 days, because it always took so long. Now, I can chop them every time they're ready! I have one farm dedicated to trees, and it looks so awesome when they're all harvested and chopped, I actually get a feeling of accomplishment from having them done, is that weird? Same with the fishing, now that the fishing boat makes it easier.

The new flowers are very pretty, the artist did a wonderful job on them, and I'm looking forward to getting that 6th farm so I can redecorate and use the flowers!

[SunnyD]

Is anyone having trouble selecting a farm to go to while on their other farm, and selecting to go into offline mode also having trouble selecting a crop to plant.... it flashes on me.... have cleared cache and rebooted my pc... nothing seems to help. is this an isolated crazy thing happening?? clearing my cache is no easy thing it takes long and considered effort reloads to get back to FT because of using a dial up access... but i have done it twice since 4:30 am and it is not helping...

ls the Manure Spreader consuming Manure when you fertilize? Sure doesn't look like it. I started with xxxx units and after fertilizing five farms, I still had xxxx units.


SunnyD (in a response to this post) did not interpret my comment correctly. I did not say anything about poop being added to the spreader as the game does that properly or about the spreader showing empty. What it doesn't do, is to consume manure when you fertilize.

[SunnyD]

I harvested piggy poop this morning it did add mine to my spreader....... since your spreader is showing empty maybe if you try to store it and then refresh your game and take it out of storage that will basically re-boot it. i had to do that to a couple of my facilities a while back.... hoping that is an answer for you

Folks, nothing in life is free. It costs you time and effort just to walk down the block, money - real money - for you to text something to your friend, real money for you to have cable TV, real money for you to have an internet provider that allows you to connect through your internet provider to Farm Town, real money to purchase that coffee you drink while playing Farm Town, real money for you to go to the movies, real money for you to take your kids or grandchildren to an event such as the fair or circus --- so, why are you complaining that it costs real money for you to sit in the comfort of your home so you can play Farm Town. You expect to eat and drink, so why shouldn't the developers of this outstanding game be allowed to eat and drink as well. For many of you it costs $5.00 or more for you to smoke that pack of cancer sticks. Either stop smoking or cut it in half and in a few days you will have the money to buy that tool or factory you need in Farm Town. For many of you it costs real money for you to drink that spirit, so why not stop or cut it in half and then you will have money to buy that tool or factory you need. Just like with many things in life, if you want it bad enough you will find a way to get -- now, don't go robbing banks or some such silly thing to get the real money. Have a great Labor Day and a safe day.

OH NO!! I can imagine the headlines now!!
When asked why he robbed The First National Bank in New York today the man replied "I just had to have the Manure Spreader for my farms... I blame it on Farm Town.. If they had let me buy it with free Farm Town coins I would never of done it.. Honestly." LO LOL LOL

Is anyone having trouble selecting a farm to go to while on their other farm, and selecting to go into offline mode also having trouble selecting a crop to plant.... it flashes on me.... have cleared cache and rebooted my pc... nothing seems to help. is this an isolated crazy thing happening?? clearing my cache is no easy thing it takes long and considered effort reloads to get back to FT because of using a dial up access... but i have done it twice since 4:30 am and it is not helping...

ok I lied. I cleared cache again.... and still no help this time i vacuumed my house while i waited for it to finally load again.. not going through that a 4th time.. still no help........ grrrrrrrrr......

[InePine]

The storage limit is not so much the amount of stuff you have in storage but the number of windows you have in storage. You can have 3 windows for the same type of item in storage. Pineapple is an example of this. You can have gift pineapple, pineapple (this is self harvested pineapple), and large pineapple (this is hired harvested pineapple). Now each of those windows takes up memory space in the storage area. So when you get the message that your storage is getting full if you go and load up the facilities and sell all non ingredients you should be fine on room even if one item has 130,000 units of one thing in storage. When you fill up your facilities it will use ingredients in this order gift, self harvested or what you made (ie chocolate liquor), then large. Because of this if you load up a facility chances are you will at least empty the gift window and probably the self harvested window, leaving only the large window. Also selling all non ingredients frees up tons of room in your storage even if you only had 600 units of that item in storage the window is gone so that gives you more room. One more option for you to do is with your ingredients like olive oil when you make some do not store it you can leave it in the facility forever if you like, this way you can build up lets say 6 or 7 thousand units then go to the mp and sell the 40,000 you have in storage that is going to take you ages to use. Now go back to your farm and store what is in the facility that way you have some olive oil to do stuff with and not have to wait for more to make.


This is very useful information, thanks alot! Changes the way i think about my storage completely and im running to my farm to sell the 3 mangoes and 2 red roses or whatever leftovers i have to make up more room, great news! :))

Make a note, send yourself a text message, an email, or hire a sky writer so that you don't forget! I am still trying to come up with suitable names for the first five!


put it on a virtual sticky note.

bring #6 on please! would be nice if it came out my last day of vacation.....back to the real world tomorrow.....*sigh*

Yes Tony that is selected.......

[SunnyD]

something is up with this happening Tony as I am still having the trouble and i am a neighbors farm watering flowers ... no coins are flying up and it is not adding them to my coins yet the watering is taking effect.. I can save and it does say it has been saved.....
have no idea what to do with this........maybe it will fix soon.....have trouble selecting any tools and selecting to go to another neighbors farm or my own other farms also....

[Irish355]

It just keep getting better and better...I can't wait for farm six. I love the new flowers...Thank you Debbie!
Raul and the devs are the best!! Now, if we could just get the large bulldozer to work...I know it's a work in progress and the bugs need to be ironed out. I'm a patient person.

So after all of the great new updates from the 1st of September, we are seeing some sluggishness and alsomissing items on the farms. Is this a result of migrating the next upgrade into the system ??

[Rob T]

HI, I am having glitches with sowing, it keeps not showing the seeder, and or not selecting the fields to sow. Reselecting the seeder or the seed in the shop doesn't always work to be able to sow, it just keeps glitching. Please fix. Noticing it particularly on the farms with rivers in case this is conflicting and causing it. Happened on my 3rd farm first, and on my 1st farm as well. But did not occur on my 2nd, 4th or 5th farm, that do not have rivers on them

I would like to redirect you to this official thread where we are gathering information on this particular issue, If you could read the first post here http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=361358 and make a post in the thread accordingly, thankyou

[Madcow Caz]

For the last week I havent been able to see my friend when she comes to my farm to be hired. I have to go to my 2nd farm to hire her, then she has to go back to her own farm and back again to get back to me. Why is this happening? What is the cure? Begging now :-)

make sure that when both of you first load your game, that it loads 100% before going to another farm.

I'm sorry I know how frustrating that stuff can be. I am personally having no trouble with mine, LOL not that, that means anything. The only other thing if it were me is I would, if you have not done so, first completely turn computer off for at least a couple minutes, then immediately go to where your cache is and manually delete everything in the folder. It does not always clear everything by clicking the clear button. In fact it is usually something causing trouble that hangs up in there. Do it in that order though! VERY important.

Hope it helps, Debbie Sue

Some of us are making bets on how much F6 will cost when it come out.
A couple of us are guessing: one billion coins, lol!

Seriously ..... my guesstimate:

12x12 100k
14x14 1 mill
16x16 5 mill
18x18 25mill
20x20 50mill
22x22 75mill
24x24 100mill 256Million total

and the $20FT option from 18x18 up

I would "need" to do this at each set of farms....

at $256mill, I would still have $500million at each set to put toward farms 7 and 8:D

In summary...... devs... I am ready for farms 6, 7 and 8 NOW ( please )

[amberdh]

My guess. Just for fun :)

12x12..... 6M coins
14x14..... 3M coins
16x16......4M coins
18x18..... 5M coins
20x20..... 45M coins
22x22..... 60M coins
24x24..... 70M coins

I will have to guess that this is the way it will go:
12x12= 100,000
14x14=250,000
16x16=300,000
18x18= 375,000

24x24=550,000

I am so tired of getting "your products and harvests storage is full....please sell or use some of them" --- give us an automatic sell that automatically sells all Non-Ingredients -- let us set it once and then it will automatically sell the non-ingredients for us.

I have gone in twice today, and getting ready to go in today for the third time, to sell the non-ingredients. It takes a lot of time to do this.

Need to also up the storage capacity for us so we don't get that darn pop-up multiple times a day.

If you don't want to give us a one-time setting, then give us a toggle in the storage area that simply says "Sell ALL Non-Ingredients" and have that work in a couple seconds for us.

[Grumpa]

There have actually been many posts in here relating to this subject. I really don't totally myself understand how people don't "get it". The game itself is offered for free play, but as any business common sense tells us it certainly is not free to run it etc... SO one way to help with the costs is to offer special things that you CAN"T get other than by using FC and FC that is actually purchased. FC when given to you by the game is a very nice added bonus the game offers yet it does not pay the people who put their time in and provide us with the game!! It is not expected that everyone will be able to purchase and have these items, much like I don't expect to live in a Beverly Hills Mansion.

Hope this helps~ Debbie Sue :)

I did a major delete on everything temp file on my pc.. removed flash from the adobe site and reinstalled...... when you delete it from their site it removes all stored flash files...... did a manual delete on all temp files.... no help..... i can not even send anything into production in all of my facilities... this is a major pain......

I am a billonaire according to Farm Town. The problem is the display does not show the entire amount --- it displays something like 1,013,234,9 notice it is missing the last two digits. Please adjust your screen definition so that all digits display properly.

Here's my guess

12 X12 6 million
14X14 3 million
16X16 4 million

22X22 50 million

178 Million total

I agree with the slow cheese production. I have five farms, I harvest it twice a day.
And since I'm on lowly myspace, I can't work neighbor's farms. It doesn't matter if you have 100 cows on each farm, you can only make as much cheese as they allow you to.
It used to be a gift item, now we have plant pods. That's my gripe, otherwise, this game ROCKS!

[ppeoney]

Thanks, Debbie, for the wonderful new flowers. Thanks for the game upgrades, too.

Just to complain again, can the devs please try to fix the glitch that allows hired plowers to plow in space where there is NO previous plot. Or is this just a plot to make people buy the new deleting bulldozer? I am very tired of have to re-plow my farms b/c of greedy a-holes!

The "Decorations toggle" does not turn off all of the decorations. You are missing many of the older ones such as "Multi Colored Balloons", "Mother's Day Balloons", white fence, Christmas Flowers, etc.

Great idea, but it needs to be fully tested before you roll it out into production.

[johnsj11]

desperately need a toggle that turns off/on the various tools, such as the semi, oil rig, etc.

these cover up some of the other smaller items and need to be able to turn them "all" off and not just hide them

[johnsj11]

big sea is having a problem again -- the yellow outline goes and comes when I am fishing and it is very difficult to fish

i have tried numerous scales and the best one is where I can see the whole farm (almost all of it anyway) -- i.e, zoom all the way out -- but it still doesn't work as it should

well i guess #6 isn't coming out b4 i have to go back to work. *sigh*

When will there be new levels ? its hard to level out right after you upgrade only a few levels at a time instead of only adding 5 levels at a time you might want to add like 10 or even 15 ? just a thought here :D

I agree that the trees should produce more, I realize it is a game but it could be done a bit more dare I say realistically. Having said that I DON'T EXPECT the game to work like reality but there has got to be something that would be better than only getting one apple per tree. I think I will go over to the suggestions thread and put my thought for increased tree crop sizes so that the devs can find it since I know that they don't look here for game suggestions.

[ImTznU]

Yet another great thing about this GAME!! Watch people scream yet what they do NOT understand is that on any other game you know from 18x18 up would be FC only!! Super kewl here that it is even offered for free coins.

While I agree that getting more than 5 or 10 levels at a time would be nice we have to keep in mind how much the devs are doing and how much time it takes to make all of the new stuff that we get all the time AND implement new levels. each new level has to be very carefully thought out because there are certain perks that come with each new level. This means that they have to design all of the stuff that goes along with the level increase before they kick out new levels. New levels are supposed to be coming soon, as stated in the first post of this thread, at the same time they will be releasing a 6th farm so that is in the works as well. I assume that takes just as much work as all of the GREAT new stuff they keep giving us!

Happy Farming! :)

That is right! Give me everything I want, right now, for free, and darn it, it better work right the minute I get it! I don't care that it cannot be tested in every imaginable situation because there is no way that I could EVER do anything to mess up the game myself.

Of course this is a joke people, I am in NO WAY serious. Just to clarify for those that I may have offended.

I just got a new message in game that I have never seen before. Has anyone else gotten a message that says "hint your neighbors sent you flour. Go to your gift box and click store"? I would assume that this would include any items that we use for production that can be gifted, so it might say something other than flour.

If not I think something new might have rolled out! I am going to run check it out!

note in the attachment - i started off harvesting from left to right
note the fields that were skipped that still have 0%

also note the two or so fields that appear blank (grass) in the left side

why are fields being skipped?

why do i have blank fields?

same type error as previous entry when i was harvesting except this is when i am plowing

There are known issues with the decorations on and off thing. I am certain they are aware and working on it. It clearly has some glitches. I have found if I am having any issue at all I turn decorations on and refresh and all is good. I know this especially to be the case with planting plowing and harvest. You mention above the are unchcked. Try to turn them on by checking the box.

Hope it work, Debbie Sue

Working in farm town tonight went to market and you usually know who wants work by their name before work. This stopped happening tonight so I just left MP. Why this happened, dont know. Yes too many people to know who?

Everytime a new farm is launched, I have the rest of my farms planted & have to wait until they are harvested to re-design my farms. This time, I have unplowed fields & am just waiting for farm 6--does anyone know how much longer that will be??? I hope it is VERY soon!! My trees are loaded because when I move them I want them all to bloom at the same time. Hurry Farmtown developers!!! I am ready to go--level 115 & waiting.

I'm ready and waiting for Farmu 6. Today would be an excellent day...are you listening?:cool:

[PoodleMaster]

:eek:Oh my goodness the wait is killing me here!! Does anyone have any idea when they will release the 6th farm???? I've been saving coins and FC since the 5th farm was added!!!! Anyone, anyone, any guesses????? :confused:

[Ginasue1]

yet again, the aviator does not harvest in sequence and skips a bunch of fields that have been clicked to harvest

note in the attachment - i started off harvesting from left to right
note the fields that were skipped that still have 0%

also note the two or so fields that appear blank (grass) in the left side

why are fields being skipped?

why do i have blank fields?

decorations are unchecked

If you have trees or something else on those same plots then that problem will happen. It's why I stopped layering my trees on the same areas as my plots. It causes problems.

[Sallah]

I takes over 50 minutes to sell the products. Way too long.

Try two things to speed it up... "unplug" in the upper right hand corner to go offline while selling, and keep your window on regular, not full screen.

I usually only sell the "non-ingredient" items. I don't have the seafood restaurant or the chocolate factory, and don't intend to ever have them, so I sell of hte cocoa and the extra fish about once a week. Those non used items tend to fill up my storage space and slow down my selling.

I also cheat and do a lot of my selling at work while on the LAN...SO much faster than my cable provided internet at home!

[Sallah]

Oh my....something new the developers didn't tell us about????

I was chopping trees with my axe and it let me highlight my cute little chicken, a cow and a goat!!!! Are we getting a butcher shop to replace the semi truck???!?!?!?!?!? :)

I know....use the logging truck! I haven't bought ityet...saving my FT dollars for farms 6-8 and all the new stuff!

[StoneFace]

Everytime a new farm is launched, I have the rest of my farms planted & have to wait until they are harvested to re-design my farms. This time, I have unplowed fields & am just waiting for farm 6--does anyone know how much longer that will be??? I hope it is VERY soon!! My trees are loaded because when I move them I want them all to bloom at the same time. Hurry Farmtown developers!!! I am ready to go--level 115 & waiting.

don't waste any time.... plant a short cheap crop. You will have the $$ and the points, and if you need too delete, you won't lose all that much.... especially with the manure doubling everything.

[MrsDee64]

I saw someone in the market place who kept posting "will do trees and wheat only"....well, not on my farm you won't!

I don't get the harvesters who refuse to plow... had 1000 wheat my worker gladly harvested, but when I sent the hire to plow, her answer was "I don't plow" and she left.....huh??????????

I t hought that I was the only one having that problem, I don't get it what's up with some farmers who don't want to plow.

[MrsDee64]

Hi I visited your farms, they are awesome. I have one tiny question if you don't mind answering, I want to buy the mineral facilities, what trees do I have to purchase inorder to get my facility started? I am at a lost here. Thanks for your answer.

[matrix1272]

No tree's, Just coins :-)

The mine produces based on coin purchases, not a crop....just like the semi truck and the honey.

I love all that you do with this game, to me it's the best and most entertaining game on FB. Thank you to all who contribute.

I don't know who all experience this problem, workers can't harvest under trees now. Maybe it's just me but I refresh and they're still there.

Haven't had that...does it happen all the time?

[Aus1777]

Yes, it does and I forgot to add this. I usually harvest those plots myself then let them plow after I cleared the plot but they can't even plow there.

The Mineral facility doesn't use trees. You have to buy with coins the minerals, and when you get the Jewery factory, you will need oak and pine trees.

Thank you for visiting

[rhonda11]

Yes, it does and I forgot to add this. I usually harvest those plots myself then let them plow after I cleared the plot but they can't even plow there.

I have been having this problem since the latest update. I just rehire them to harvest or plow after they turn their trees off. Seems to work but takes a bit more time.

[Sallah]

Yes, it does and I forgot to add this. I usually harvest those plots myself then let them plow after I cleared the plot but they can't even plow there.

It sounds like they haven't hidden trees, so they don't know they are there. Try reminding them to hide trees when you hire and see if that helps.

[April306]

I know it's an option, but for me that seems VERY rude!!
Either one does the work one's hired to do, or one shouldn't ask for any jobs, at all!!

I was hired by some person (and the farm was really *crowded* with hired workers.)
When the job was all done, and ppl started to thank for the job, his answer was; " So get the hell off of my property!"
What a nice guy!!

Well, it take all sorts . . . I guess. :(

I hope you clicked the ignore button. I had one like that and he was really rude so i clicked on that button............

[Grumpa]

I t hought that I was the only one having that problem, I don't get it what's up with some farmers who don't want to plow.

seams like they have large xp points and with nothing to upgrade to are just interested in getting the coins for the next update. :(

[Grumpa]

Yes, it does and I forgot to add this. I usually harvest those plots myself then let them plow after I cleared the plot but they can't even plow there.

they have to go onto the farm with trees hidden to get the crops under the trees. Same for plowing.

have tried it with my wife's farm.

[SunnyD]

i have a neighbor that has that same thing happen even if they have trees hid they can't harvest the plots that are under the trees... same as you it only started with the last update.....they can plow however as long as they had the trees hid.......

[Ginasue1]

Even with them hidden, and you go away and come back to the farm it can happen. It's the effect of layering. I've been there done that, and now not a one of my trees is layered on any plot.

[SunnyD]

seams like they have large xp points and with nothing to upgrade to are just interested in getting the coins for the next update. :(

Right Grumpa.. i have turned down plow jobs requests in the market, the exception is a neighbor though .also never rude about it .. only because i have a lot of exp at the top level now and not too excited to be automatically moved up to the top level when we do get new levels lol yeah i like to see the bar climb and the levels climb i'm just funny that way .......

[Sallah]

So if they are layered there is a problem, but not if they are just hidden behind trees?

[BobcatTchai]

Thank you for visiting

That's true but with the jewelry factory the only trees you need to harvest are oak trees, used in manufacturing the jewelry box and photo frames.

[Ginasue1]

So if they are layered there is a problem, but not if they are just hidden behind trees?

The problem is if trees are on top or plots. If the trees are bunched up together, when your harvesting the crops, you kind of run into a road block. Even though the trees have been turned off, you left the farm came back and started harvesting, you will run into that road block

[Taz D]

Ever since this upgrade, if I delete plots and replow shifted over slightly (trying to close up to get more plots) they are fine until I close the program and then come back in. The deleted plots reappear and I have overlapping plots. I have to go through and remove the original plots a second time to get rid of these.

The best thing you can do is delete all the plots completely, save and refresh, if they come back, repeat the same procedure until you only have grass there. Then you can plow fresh fields.

i had that too FarmSlave... i had to delete like three rows up and three rows down from where the mis layed plots were then sign out and back into the game then i could lay new fields/ plots.... never had a problem since.. also you need to check the buildings you have near them.. as with the oil refinery and the tea shop they have far reaching feet i guess you call them........ have to be sure no plots are touching them. i put mine in storage then layed new fields then i could add the buildings from storage after i layed the new plots down.....seems the buildings caused my plow tool to be off just a tad enough to make it not even i am guessing....

[cilla38]

Thank you for the new flowers love them .

Life is UNFAIR.


Only took 31 messages for the first complaint about the game being unfair,

lets make it 32 I also feel it unfair for those that have the coin but not the Dollars . I buy the F.C all the time and now I get it for my sons also because they have families and cannot afford to get F.C all the time.

[speedmonkey]

Hi, you get that message when you are loading up facilities and you run out of an item, if you have that item in your gift box. It has been around for a while now.

Thanks Tony, I had just never seen it before. Could be because I usually clean out my gift box straight away when I enter the game and rarely leave stuff that I can use sitting in it. :)

[speedmonkey]

This problem has occurred since the latest update. If you check show decorations in your preferences it should stop. the devs have been made aware of the issue and I am positive that they are working to correct it.

Happy Farming!

[speedmonkey]

I takes over 50 minutes to sell the products. Way too long.

I have discovered that if I refresh the game right before I am ready to go to market it speeds this process. It also helps if you disconnect from the server (the plug icon at the top) before going to market. Hope these suggestions help speed up the process for you. :)

Happy Farming!

[speedmonkey]

Working in farm town tonight went to market and you usually know who wants work by their name before work. This stopped happening tonight so I just left MP. Why this happened, dont know. Yes too many people to know who?

I go to market to work all the time and my name doesn't say anything about wanting to work. I am confused as to what you mean by it stopped happening and what you mean by "yes too many people to know who?"

People usually only go to the market place to get work or sell items so I am completely lost on this one. Can you clarify what the problem is? Is it a glitch or is it just something you noticed that was different? :)

[speedmonkey]

Hi I visited your farms, they are awesome. I have one tiny question if you don't mind answering, I want to buy the mineral facilities, what trees do I have to purchase inorder to get my facility started? I am at a lost here. Thanks for your answer.

The mineral facility does not require you to have anything to get it up and running. Just buy it, plop it down where you want it and tell it to start production. You have to pay (coin) for each item that you want from the facility and it does not take anything other than coin to work. :)

[speedmonkey]

I don't know who all experience this problem, workers can't harvest under trees now. Maybe it's just me but I refresh and they're still there.

Many people do not turn off their trees when going to work on other peoples farms. If they have trees on they may not know that there are crops under the trees and if they turn them off after they come on to your farm many times the plots that have trees on them disappear when they turn the trees off. To correct it you have to re-hire them to work. When the farm reloads the plots should show back up. This is just one of the issues caused by layering trees over crops. To avoid the issue you can either move the trees so that they are ot layered on top of your crops, tell whoever you are hiring to turn off the trees before hiring, or re-hire once at your farm after having them turn off the trees. Hope this helps!

Happy Farming! :)

The deleted plots reappear and I have overlapping plots. I have to go through and remove the original plots a second time to get rid of these.

I had this same issue a few weeks back. I had to clear everything except my buildings and tools off my farm and delete all of my plots numerous times to fix it. I also had to have on of the mods clean my game data. It seems that layering or some other glitch had corrupted some of my game data and the plots would not go away no matter what I did on my own. If you have any trees, flowers, or anything else layered on top of the plots it could be causing the problem. If you have ever layered those plots it can cause the problem as well, even if it was done accidentally it can happen. Try planting raspberries on the plots and after you harvest them try deleting the plots again, do not plow them before you try to delete. If that does not work you will need help from one of the mods. You can also try clearing your computer cache, the game cache, and increasing the amount of storage space that the game is allowed to use on your computer. For anyone to be able to assist you you will need to provide a manual link to your farm. There is a link in my signature that will take you to the directions on how to provide a manual link. You might also consider posting a comment in the help and support section of the forum. The mods check there more often to see if there is anyone in need of assistance.

Happy Farming! :)

You can get FC for free as well. Again, it is not unfair for them to require FC for premium items. They give us the game for free but you can be assured that it is not free for them to run the game. Server space costs money, developers don't work for free, and their are a million other little things that go along with running a game that cost money. They generously give us farm cash every time we level up and provide us with numerous opportunities to get much more FC for free. To date I have earned over 200 FC for free, if you are already buying FC getting another 200 or so for free should supplement nicely into what you are buying. It is also not required that everyone has every single FC item. That is a choice. If people want the items bad enough there are ways to get them!

[Ginasue1]

I ran a server for a few years or so. To run it, it cost me money. I have to have internet to run it. I have to have electric to run it. I have to have a place in which I put it to run it. Now, do you think the internet, electric and landlord all let me have it for free. Think again.

Nice people would some times send me money that would help pay for all of that so I could kept it running

[Texas Belle]

Simple solution mentioned many times now in this forum. When you go to the markets to sell, simply click the red power tab and go 'off line'. Then the only people in the markets will be you and Tom. Problem of being bombarded with hire requests SOLVED !!!

Wow, had forgotten about that, thanks for the reminder... I feel bad when I am selling and see that somebody is trying to hire me. Sometimes before I even sell anything I let them now I am selling my stuff not waiting to be hired, but they don't listen. Thanks again for reminding me of the little power switch.
Something else I want to know: Tree shaker and log chopper, do I still have to keep putting on storage and bringing out on every farm when I want to use it?
I tried to do like the Manure truck, but it would not work, anybody has another solution?

Thanks,
Celina

[MaryLouW]

Don't know if this has been asked, but when we fertilize our crops on a farm does that also include any trees? I don't have any trees on the two farms I use to plant/harvest so I have no idea. Thanks! :)


No, unfortunately, it does not. I think it would be nice if it did! I would love to see the fertilization include flowers and trees, then I wouldn't have to have so darn many trees!! You need at least 1000 of the apple and orange trees alone and that still won't let you max out your facilities that use apples and oranges.

Actually, rather than fertilizing the trees, I would like to see 2 products per tree instead of one. Then, 500 apple trees would give 1000 apples. But would definitely like to see flowers fertilized!

[Farmer Jennifer Dawn]

I t hought that I was the only one having that problem, I don't get it what's up with some farmers who don't want to plow.

plowing can be tedious if you don't need the coin and XP. I always ask the harvesters that I hire if they want to plow too. The ones that say yes, great, the ones who say no, i just let it go and back to the marketplace. sooner or later i'll find someone to finish the plowing.....its not that big a deal. I don't like to plow and will usually let the person hiring know this and suggest that they hire someone who is lower in xps....

It definitely DOES cost money for this kind of stuff. In the Pre-Internet explosion, I ran a 4-line BBS (Bulletin Board System) that was free to everyone. It cost me a lot for 4 extra phone lines and the line switching equipment as well as the electricity to run it all 24 hours a day. In addition to that, there were things that needed replacing now an then. It was expensive for me but I enjoyed it and my BBS was on-line for almost 10 years. I don't mind paying for a few things here and there because I know there's no such thing as a "free lunch", as the old saying goes. Someone, somewhere has to do the paying.

The people who give us Farm Town do a remarkable job. They do provide for ways to earn FC if you can't afford to buy it which makes the game enjoyable for everyone.

[Farmer Jennifer Dawn]

I am guessing (because its happened to me a couple times) When he went to the market, in the chat box, the names of the farmers weren't appearing, just their chat dialog. Is this it? It usually happens to me when I load the market place too quickly from going back and forth to farms. Sometimes you gotta give it a chance to finish loading. I usually just refresh the marketplace. or exit farmtown and come back in. Or, if there aren't that many people, you can find them by the chat bubbles.

Yes, it does work like the manure spreader does, and the seeder does as well. I bought a seeder for each of my farms (way back when LOL) and have sold all but one. My only problem is remembering to click the green man before trying to use the "clone". - oh, and before I sold the other seeders, I tried it several times . . .

[garden ho]

I just got a new message in game that I have never seen before. Has anyone else gotten a message that says "hint your neighbors sent you flour. Go to your gift box and click store"? I would assume that this would include any items that we use for production that can be gifted, so it might say something other than flour.

If not I think something new might have rolled out! I am going to run check it out!

There are some items that a neighbor can send to another - i have gone to the store and gifted a flower shop and a manure spreader to 2 of my neighbors. . .these items will have the "gift" button to the right of the "buy" button.

[Tony D]

When I harvest bamboo, it shows up in the furniture factory and I can use it. Not the same for pine or oak ... the other two I have tried. I now have thousands of pine and oak in storage, but can't access them through the factory.

[SunnyD]

it used to be that before they added the "Hide Decorations" if you got kicked off , for those few seconds and you had show "buildings and trees" not checked.. you could simply re-hide them by clicking to show them and then clicking for them to not show again. and they would "re-hide" again... since they added that new feature ... you can't do that any more grrrrrrrrr

[garden ho]

Right, i understand this I was making note of a pop-up notice about having flour in my gift when I was working in my factories. I had just never seen it before.

I've seen that notice if I've run out of my own ingrediant but still had some gifted but had not moved to storage . . .

[B][COLOR="Magenta"][SIZE="2"]Lucky for all of us we live in America and all have a right to our opinions. I am a little curious though if you feel the same about other things in life?

[TeddyBear1]

Dont know if anyone else has had this problem. i spent my day off rearranging the trees and items on my farms, trying to set up one farm as a tree farm. somewhere along the way the manure spreader i had in storage, and maybe other items as well, disappeared. happened to me once before but i found it on the last farm i had used it, no luck this time. can putting in and taking stuff out of storage cause things to disappear, and how can i find it again? i have tried refresh, reload, opening a different browser, clearing browsing history and clearing cache all to no avail. any suggestions to try would be appreciated. thanks

[MaryLouW]

Don't know if this has been asked, but when we fertilize our crops on a farm does that also include any trees? I don't have any trees on the two farms I use to plant/harvest so I have no idea. Thanks! :)


No, trees and flowers are not fertilized along with the crops. It would be nice if they did include those though. Would probably be a lot more people buying the manure spreader!

There's no reason to put your tools into storage and taking them back out again. I keep my tree shaker, flower harvester and other tools where I have only one, all on the same farm. To use them, click on the tool and click on Harvest, then click on the farm where you want to harvest. As long as you are still using the tool, it will follow you from farm to farm. However, once you click on another tool or the green man, the tool will go back "home".

All of the tools work that way with one exception and that is the manure tool. You can leave it on one farm, when you want to use it, click on the tool, then select Move from the menu. Now go to the farm where you want to use it. Click the green man to set the tool down. Now you can click onthe tool and fertilize that farm. It will go "home" by itself. I like this feature very much!!

Debbie, I fully agree with you. Many things in life are unfair but it's not fair to expect that we all can have everything our neighbors have. I would so love to have that brand new blue car that's sitting in my neighbor's driveway. However, it's not within my budget so I have to be content with driving my 12 year old Ford Escort. I don't expect the car dealership to give me a car like my neighbor has without me paying the same amount of money. That's just the way things are!

Well that didnt answer his question now did it? lol. TeddyBear1 try clearing your cache and reloading, also try not hiding everything and refresh, then hide just the trees to see if it showed back up, I am finding the show decoration option to have some glitches, so i always leave that one checked. Been having problems when i try to hide them. hope this helps

[etholl]

Dont know if anyone else has had this problem. i spent my day off rearranging the trees and items on my farms, trying to set up one farm as a tree farm. somewhere along the way the manure spreader i had in storage, and maybe other items as well, disappeared. happened to me once before but i found it on the last farm i had used it, no luck this time. can putting in and taking stuff out of storage cause things to disappear, and how can i find it again? i have tried refresh, reload, opening a different browser, clearing browsing history and clearing cache all to no avail. any suggestions to try would be appreciated. thanks

Thank you for making this game AWESOME!!

Thank you very, very, very much for the log truck with chainsaw... OH THANK YOU!!!

You all ROCK!!! :D

[charlies4ng3ls]

Ok Raul - I think your definition of 'soon' and my definition are very different... the F5 button is once again feeling the pressure ..... the handsome lumberjacks (aka the tree chopper) is very welcomed but I'm rather looking forward to Farm 6 ... although I'm still trying to think of a name for it .... I might go for another of my Scottish Specials - what about Auchenshuggle, Bonkle or even Auchtermuchty???

You do like to build the anticipation levels!

[SunnyD]

I already picked out farm #6 name..... and just expanded my fifth to 24x24..... hope I"m not sorry for spending all the coins ... LOL may need them for the next update...... i figure that is when we will get that 6th farm probably next week.......I think they are trying to work out the glitch with the "hide decorations" before another release ...... don't you?

[Ginasue1]

I sure hope that's what there working on. I try and hide dec's and they still show.

[LadyMike]

I'm really looking forward to having more levels before I get to 115. I love to see the little bar move and the pop-up that tells me that I have achieved something special. It's my understanding that if you are on level 115, when they add more levels you just automatically level-up to the highest level. I really don't want that!!! I'm on level 113 so if this is true, PLEASE get the new levels out very, very soon!!! Make them up to 200 or so, so that we can help our friends and neighbors with harvesting AND plowing, etc., without worrying about getting too many XP so that we'll never have any advancing to look forward to again. I hope I'm making sense... Also, I love the way some farmers have their crops doing double-duty with trees and crops. I tried to do that on my original farm that has been plowed since I started FT. Guess what...I have such a mess. I can't get my trees in straight lines or even all together for that matter! Then I read a post on here earlier that said something about this may cause problems with harvesting & plowing, etc. Oh my...I guess I'll deal with it, but it took me so long to get all of my trees moved around and I don't want to have to do it all again. So please, please, please get that sixth farm out very soon!!! I'm really, really tired so I'm probably rambling, but I hope I'm making some sense. By the way, this game is AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!!! You guys are GREAT!!! I'm going to go lay down now so my rambling will cease very soon. Thanks so very much for everything!!! Good night at 2:30pm after being up for over thirty hours. Happy farming.....zzzzz

[charlies4ng3ls]

It's my understanding that if you are on level 115, when they add more levels you just automatically level-up to the highest level. I really don't want that!!!

Lady Mike - your understanding is slightly incorrect - the only way you would automatically move up to say Level 120 is if you have sufficient XP points to reach Level 120 ... so if you reach Level 115 and then 2 days later they bring out Levels up to 120 I think it would would be superhuman and have to play 24 hours in order to go immediately to Level 120 ... :) Hope this helps your understanding.

Was the Update That Shall Not Be Named over with by the time Summer '09 rolled along? :D I can't remember when that actually happened.

[jsbh821]

Thanks Deb for the beautiful new flowers!! They are gorgeous and so colorful!! Thanks to the devs for all the new updates! Looking forward to the sixth farm, even 7th, 8th, and 9th too!!

[JAS0643]

Are you talking about flowers or the update that fixed a lot of bugs that took 2 months to roll out. The flowers is the update that caused alot of impatient posts but the other wasn't that bad besause it was manly bug fixes. The flowers was in spring of 2009.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....The deatheaters are about......


;):eek:

[jeanieNGMsfarm]

keep in mind the flower thing we should not speak of lol. was before farmcash and i noticed that in the days before farmcash updates were rare and took forever, but since farmcash they come often so i think we wont wait as long for the next farm like the flowers. the developers probably wanted to post about it due to the high number of people asking for a heads up if there will be another farm. give players a little time to save and get excited knowing its coming.. thats just my speculation on it tho

mmmm, manly bug fixes... much better than wimpy bug fixes :D Think I'll dream about manly bug fixes tonight ;)

[Ginasue1]

Looks over at the spell check checker

[mooloos]

If they put items like before 2 options of buying 1 farmcash 1 farmcoins maybe it help people out more. Who knows. Or how about earn more xp points doing certain things. Oh I feel it's thinking cap time? Please post your suggestions? All ideas welcome.

The reason the flowers took so long is the developers decided to add features to them and that is why they where delayed. I'm sure fc has helped with getting updates faster but I also think it has to do with a more stable game then we had 15 months ago. The game grow so fast the developers couldn't keep up and the load on the servers caused problems for a lot of people.

[Ginasue1]

Farm Town was very good when I first started. I got side tracked, and all that with other games. Then one day came back, and was knocked off my feet at how well Farm Town had become. Since that day, ever other game on Facebook has been blocked and Farm Town is the only game I play.

The only thing keeping me from blocking every other game of FB is that I still try and help my friends with stuff they need. If it were not for that, I would not know that any of the other game seven existed. Farmtown has literally seen me through the darkest days of my life. I was injured badly a little over a year ago and returned to the game during my recovery time (which still continues) and during that time I was diagnosed with a brain bleed and a brain tumor. The months and months that I have been required to stay off my feet and trying to keep my stress levels down Farmtown has provided me with an outlet for stress and has helped keep me from going bonkers being stuck in bed or in a chair all the time while trying to recoup from brain surgery. thank you to the developers, designers, and my fellow farms that have made the game a great place to be! :)

Your probably right Jas... but you know as much as people do complain about bugs and things with this game.. to be honest with you....This is the only game I do play. mainly because of being on dial up.. the other games just don't work for me and the ones I have tried to play will never load or actually one day i tried for over 4 hours to load one and said nope never again....Thankfully I have found this game.. I have never played an online game before.... I did have satellite service for a while but never played even then... I try hard to not be fussy when there are bugs I enjoy this game a lot..

[ImTznU]

I really think that with this last update due in my opinion to the hide decorations option, there has been a few more wrinkles to iron out than the typical past updates. With the recent past updates it has been that the game was a little slugglish for a couple days with minor issues. I personally admire the fact that they first spend the time getting the things offered currently working well before slamming out something else. It would be very easy to be greedy on their part and throw the new farms out there to collect the monies and compound issues even more. I respect and trust they will get it out to us as quickly as they are comfortable doing so. That is also why there are truely few issues with each update. LOL I do play another game that I love but have watched it become 100% almost all about real money now and turning out a lessor product faster and faster. One example in that game is the houses you buy mostly are for game cash only and they do not give away any game cash! Now some of these homes have been released so quickly and have huge bugs, LOL ROACHES even! like rooms that you can't enter things missing etc... and all have been paid with for real money and each week more and more comes out, yet still homes that havent been fixed yet for 6 months and NO REFUNDS! I know it is tough for me to be patient, but it is the best option! LOL

I CAN"T wait hardly either for additional farms. I am so thrilled the game continued, from when I started and you had one farm, level 34 was max and you could buy everything for sale 10 x etc... I think they have absolutely gone over the top in improving the game and things being offered!!! It really is home away from home!

Happy Farming! And I dont think FT will ever totally be able to keep up with us hard core junkies lol without ruining the game!

[Tiffanytwirl]

When are we getting new levels??? I've been at the top for a long time.

[Big Honking Toe]

Ok I got 95k goat cheese now and 1400 goat milk.I stuff the milk in my factory's as fast as I can plus get tons of people to help but can't process it fast enough.So I got 30k normal cheese and 95k goat cheese.

[speedmonkey]

New levels are in the works and will be released soon according to the devs. I would be willing to guess that they will be out sometime later this week or the first part of next week. they don't usually make us wait to long for stuff once they have told us it is coming. All of us that are leveled out are waiting on edge for the release! :) :)

[speedmonkey]

The strangest thing is happening. I have a set of trees that I decided to harvest and sell to market direct from my farm. When I harvest a tree the amount of money that I am making per tree is showing as a decimal amount that is very long. It says 82. 8000000....the number is like 25 characters long. I have never seen anything in the game do this before can anyone tall me what is going on? I will try and find something else to harvest and see if it does the same thing or if it is just this group of trees.

Ok so as far as I can tell it is just my trees. Flowers harvest and sell just like usual, can't test crops until morning.

You must not have been playing when flowers came out. The developers said 2 weeks but it was more like 3 months. For the most part though when they have said soon it has been soon.

I think I join after the flower issue but I have noticed that recently if they tell us something is coming we generally have it within a few weeks. I try to give them benefit of the doubt considering the amount of time and effort they are putting into bringing us new items, levels, and facilities while continuing to try and improve the things we already have. I can't imagine how much time and energy must go into creating and maintaining the game, the devs just ROCK! :)

[c.abell]

Did someone say 6th farm and more levels coming soon?? WOOHOO!! Bring it on!!

[calicofarmer]

Curious....was harvesting this morning with the big harvester and it was highlighting waaaay more than 4 fields (but only doing 4)...wonder if this means new equipment is on the way? Wasn't that mentioned earlier? Hope so. I won't be able to resist buying a 6th farm, I am sure...

[StoneFace]

Did someone say 6th farm and more levels coming soon?? WOOHOO!! Bring it on!!


Since the devs announced that it was coming soon a few weeks back.... the 6th farm is eagerly anticipated.

I would doubt that there will also be a 7th or more at the same time. The overload would kill us:rolleyes:

And the increase in levels, also announced, is certainly part of the changes we have grown to expect. The FT$$, at $1 per level may help with the purchase of some thing, but I don't rely on just those dollars.

In the meantime, I have over three-quarter billion coins burning a hole in my farmer overalls at each account. Just gotta spend some of that, so 3 more farms would be a real shocker, but I am ready.:eek::eek::eek:

Do you have multiple dairy production facilities? That would increase your output...just remember to put them on separate farms.

When I started, the flowers were "coming soon" in the store...I think it was another month or more before they were available. I certainly appreciate the surprise of a full release, rather than the waiting for a coming soon event that might take forever. Thanks again to the devs for a GREAT game! :o

[Ginasue1]

When I first started we had flowers, but that's all they where, was just flowers that you used to make your farms pretty.

the hide decorations doesnt effect the corners..i just went to my 4th farm to see if my water fall changed it didnt so i checked to hide decorations and it didnt hide any of the river corners....

My trees are still doing strange things when I choose to harvest and sell them instead of putting them into storage. Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me? I am afraid that something is wrong with my game data again so if someone else could check and see if they are having the same issue and let me know I would appreciate it. I am getting 82.80000001192093 coins for my nectarine trees instead of 92 coins for them. All of my trees are doing this the only difference is the amount each one sells for but they are all a decimal amount that is not even close to what I should get for them. I am also going to post this in the help and support section.

I wonder if this is some glitch that might indicate that they are getting ready to roll out an update. Maybe they have figured out a way to let us fertilize or get more from our trees :eek: and this is just the warm up period to the update! Since it only seems to be the trees that are having this little oddity I am going to allow myself to believe that it is going to lead to some cool new feature that lets our trees be more productive!


wandering of to tree heaven to imagine how many more apples I will get in the near future :) :p :D

[Ginasue1]

Maybe I won't need to get that next 200 cherry trees after all, and I can cut back to just 100 of each type of tree. More room for crops then
