See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Updates at the end of this post. Last changes released on October 29th, 8:20PM.

Hi There,

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

1. 15 Halloween decorations: 5 as gifts, 6 at the top of the Halloween category at the store and 4 at the bottom.

2. 25 New Levels: Items located in the Buildings, Other, Farm Decor and Trees categories in the Store.

3. Next 5 expansions for Farm 42:

Upgrade Farm 32x32 - 48000000000 or 30 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 34x34 - 48500000000 or 30 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 36x36 - 49000000000 or 30 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 38x38 - 49500000000 or 30 FarmCash
Upgrade Farm 40x40 - 50000000000 or 30 FarmCash

4. Increased Carbon Steel Sheet production by 20%

5. Other improvements released in the past 2-3 weeks:

a) A new "Consuming Specific Ingredient" filter has been added to the 'Regular Facilities' dropdown in the Facility Manager. When you select that filter a new dropdown arrow will be added for you to select a specific ingredient, then the Facility Manager will only show those facilities that produce at least one product consuming that specific ingredient.

b) When working together with a hired employee on a farm, the white text messages alerting you of the work your employee is doing will disappear when you mouse over them, this way they will not interfere with your own work.

c) Show a warning when loading a farm that have duplicated Farm Cash facilities, this way if you have accidentally placed a duplicated Farm Cash facility on a farm, you can move it to another farm and benefit from the extra production.

d) Wherever you search for something in the game, for example in the store, farm or market, you can now search for multiple things at once by separating the words by commas (,) ex: to search your farms for potatoes, tomatoes and peppers at the same time you can enter: "potatoes, tomatoes, peppers" in the search box.

e) When a product has a use as an ingredient AND can also be stocked in a service facility (ex: Leather Masks), we are now showing information on both roles in the help screens, i.e. what other products you can make with it and on which service facilities can you stock it.

6. Turbo Open-Pit Mine (FC): This is a new facility that produces 3 times more minerals than the current Open-Pit Mine. 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: This facility and the regular Open-Pit Mine can be placed on the same farm and both be producing at the same time.

7. Lanolin Factory (Coins): Produces Lanolin, used in the Milking Supplies Factory.

8. Milking Supplies Factory (FC): Produces Milking Supplies.

Milk Bucket
Milking Stool
Milking Sleeves
Cow Hobble
Goat Udder Wipes
Udder Cream
Manual Milking Machine
Electric Milking Machine

New Product from a new Facility: Lanolin in the Lanolin Factory.

9. Carpenter Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Carpenter Supplies.

Screwdriver
Wood Screws
Hand Drill
Spade Drill Bits
Jack Plane
Chisel
Workbench
Circular Saw

10. Milking Supplies Store (FC): Provides Milking Supplies Retail Services and can be stocked with products from the Milking Supplies Factory.

11. Carpenter Shop (Coins): Provides Carpentry Services and can be stocked with products from the Carpenter Supplies Factory.

12. Helping the Migration Team: For the next 3 months we will be spending maybe half of our time helping the migration team in the conversion of the game from Flash to HTML5, so new features and functionality changes will be less than usual in the coming releases. However, new facilities, new levels, seasonal decorations and farm expansions will be released as usual.

Enjoy!

Hi Sharon,

Known Issues:

- Problems with Train Boosting, Sending Gifts and My Neighbors tab information. Our research indicate that it appears to be a Facebook issue that just happened to occur at the same time the new levels were released. We will keep monitoring the issue and place a ticket with Facebook if it doesn't get fixed in the next couple of days.
