Thank you for this update! I especially like the storage usage and facility usage indicators.

May all your holidays be happy ones.

Are the harvest-plow-sow tools just for overlapping fields or can they be used for regular fields?

Hi p618cg,
They can be used on regular fields to, but they will still only work the fields within the specified area, so do expect them to do as many as they will for overlapped fields.

Hi harrywhitmore,
Everything has released that are listed in the first post except the facilities which have been delayed. Sometimes things happen that prevent releasing items when planned. Only thing you can do is wait patiently for the facilities and watch this thread to see when they are released.

Hello, re. the Gutter supplies factory:
1) click on ingredients
2) click on "In the Gutter Supplies Factory you can make:"the image of the "gutter with downpipe" is not showing.
I cleared memcache and after relaunching the game the image is still not showing.
I use Google Chrome.

Moderator note: this issue has been fixed :)

I can see my storage capacity is at 92%. What's the penalty if I hit 100% or attempt to go over 100%? Do I get a warning? How can I increase that kind of storage?

Just asking so I don't cause a crash! LOL

Hi bruhelmboldt,
You will not go over 100% as at that time you will have one of two possible things happen. Either some item in your storage will complete disappear or reduce to a very low amount. Or a harvest or product from a facility you are storing will not show in your storage.


You can not increase your harvests and products storage as it is a set length database and there is no increasing it except by the developers as they dfetermined the size of the database. The warning you get is the percentage you see in the storage at the top.

To help keep the amount down to less than 100% you need to sell off your non-ingredients regularly. If it is still climbing then you may need to sell off parts of those items you have a large amount showing.

bruhelmboldt Dec 28 2019 04:37 PM

OK thanks Taz. Now I find I'm playing a game of "Inventory Control" instead of farming. :^(

Hopefully there will be a way to increase crop/production storage like there there is with items. Just have to wait and see, I guess.

Hi AUssie Rae,
What did you do before they added the percentage? The amount of storage you have is the same as it was before. All they did was add a way for you to see how close you were to the maximum. Nothing else about storage changed.

I was in blissful ignorance before Taz, lol.. but now I know, its become a compulsive action every day to check the percentages... sometimes its better off no knowing, ha ha ha :)

It's like they added this percentage thing that shows up now and is regularly seen by us. But there is not explanation as to what it really is. Seems like there are a lot of us that are interested/concerned/worried/curious or whatever about it. I have sold my non-ingredients and half of my animal and fish product inventory with no change in my percentage. The developers must know what it consist of... so why not just explain it and how to control it if needed? Give us some parameters and guidelines to the percentage. They stuck it out there for us to see... so why not give just a little explanation about it? Is that asking too much?

Hi sjames,
What your maximum (100%) is varies depending on what you have stored. It is determined by a formula that has several variables so there is no way to say exactly what your maximum amount would be. It can be different for each individual's storage depending on what you have currently in your storage. So there is no way the developers or we can give you an exact amount that is your maximum.
The storage is saved in a flat database that has a specific number of spaces to record the storage of harvests and products. That means if you have only regular boxes of let's say tomatoes then it will take less of the space than if you had gift, regular and large boxes of tomatoes as each type requesire their own spaces. Also if your have 10,000 boxes of regular tomatoes then that amount takes 5 spaces to store the number, but if you use 1 box and it goes down to 9,999 then the amount of space needed is only 4 spaces. Both situations are different and will determine your maximum differently depending on how many spaces used by what it currently in your storage.

Missing quests
 
Hi All,
The missing quests is something that happens each year at this time. We are aware of this problem and it will correct itself tomorrow. Your quests are still being counted toward the collection of Farm Cash even though you see all zeros in the chart. If you are due to collect in the next few hours the button will still turn blue for you and the quests counted toward your collection.

Edit to add: Looks like the Quests are back to normal now, so this thread is now open again. Please remember to only post about New Release items here. Thank you.

Tiger Jan 02 2020 05:02 AM

We are aware there is a problem with the Neighbourhood Chains Contest (NCC) this week. No facilities are showing up for this weeks contest so no-one is able to participate at the moment.

We have notified the developers that there is a problem and we will have to wait for them to fix it.


Please do not post about it in this thread. This thread is for New Release items only!
Instead, keep an eye on last posts on the last pages of the following thread in Help and Support. We will update that when we have more information:
Neighborhood Chains Contest
Thank you!

We apologize for the inconvenience!

UPDATE : This issue has now been fixed by the developers!

thank you so much for this information even though it's giving me nightmares of cobol (programming language), lol

Okay, I think there's a misunderstanding here, someplace. I went to the market and sold ALL my "non-ingredients", ALL my "exports", and HALF-OF-ALL that remained, then HALF-OF-ALL that remained again. That should take me down to about 25%, right? Nope. I'm still over 70%! And now I have over two and a half TRILLION coins. Is there a limit on coins? So what's up? More clarification is needed, please, if you can or if Raul can. Thank you!

Hi bruhelmboldt,
Just because you sell have of an item in your storage does not mean it will lower the percentage. The item is still there requiring the spaces. If you have say 2,000,000 of an item and you sell half then you still have 1,000,0000 of that item. That is the same amount of digits, so it still takes 7 spaces in the database. The percentage is not based on how much you have of each item, but is based on how many of the spaces you are using in the database.

And if there is a limit to coins we are not aware of what that is. I know that it is still much higher than what you have at this point.

bruhelmboldt Jan 08 2020 05:49 PM

Okay, Taz, thanks. I don't understand all I know about this, but I can follow these guidelines, anyway. Thanks for trying to explain.
