Post Release Updates - May 15th, 6:20

- When expanding farms in the Realtor Office you will not have to reload the game anymore to buy the next expansion. After you buy one expansion the store will open again automatically so you can buy the next one if you want without a reloading of the game.

- When selling products at the market, the feedback telling you the total amount of coins earned was moved to the bottom of the screen to not interfere with your selling operations.

Post Release Updates - June 3rd, 2:20AM

- Fathers Day Items: 4 items at the top of the Fathers Day category in the store and 5 at the bottom.

- Improvements to the Ingredient Planner:

a) Results are now shown twice as fast and more uniformly displayed

b) Up to 10 result screens are cached in memory until you close the planner, so if you requested results for say, 'All Facilities / 15 Days / Order By Missing' for the second time it's very likely that the cached result will be shown immediately

c) If you click on a product to check its ingredients, when you go back to the main ingredient planner screen the results will be shown immediately

d) A new 'Include disabled products' checkbox will force the ingredient planner to include disabled products in its calculations

e) When you order by 'Missing', we show the ingredients with 'missing count' (red small numbers) in descending order, that part didn't change. What's new is that for ingredients that do not have a 'missing count', meaning those with 'extra count' (black small numbers), we show them in ascending order, so even when you do have enough in storage for the selected period, you may be running out of them soon.

- The 'Show Farmtown Wall Requests' section was split in two: 1) 'Show Facility Wall Requests' and 2) 'Show Other Wall Requests'

- The bonus and ingredient requests that you can not act upon are now shown in pink like it happens with the facility requests

Post Release Updates - June 4th, 1:00PM

- When you reuse a ship itinerary, if any farmer in the itinerary is no longer your neighbour it will removed from the next itinerary automatically

- Bugfix: Can not see the Train Details of other farmers when visiting their farms
- Bugfix: Display issues in the Farm Selector Manager for users with less than 41 farms
- Bugfix: When reaching a new level sometimes the list of items offered on that new level was missing

Known Issues:

- None.

Hi domer,

I'm not sure where you are seeing brown to indicate fertilization. If you're looking at the background colour of the farm name plate that should be an olive green when your farm is fertilized not brown, it's brown when it's not fetilised. In the Farm Grid a fertilized farm also shows as an olive green rather than a pale green.

I've checked your farms and they are all showing as having been fertilized recently so you may have done it since you posted here.

Hi Pawkie,

Your data shows you have increased your coin total today by over 17 billion coins. I'm sorry but we don't have more detail than that as yet.

Thanks Raul..... I have accumulated a lot of FC, and need to buy the FC Facilities from the last release and now this one... lol

No excuse... one would think that with the "lockdown" more farms would be brought to peak condition. Guess I better get busy

Hi wolfaman39531,

The Transplanters are upgrades to the Multi Planters. Transplanters move existing flowers and or or trees to another spot on your farm.

All the tools are in our Game Guide Chapter 21, here's the link. In order to buy a Transplanter you first need to own a Multi Planter:

Really appreciate the top-up fuel. Now we do not risk the loss of residual fuel when starting a large job that needs more than currently in the tank.

Thank you for the new goodies and the improvements to the other things. Stay safe and healthy.

dodgejohnson May 14 2020 06:43 PM

the updates are great, but selling your products in storage is way more of a hassle with the coins from what you sold, has caused an issue as it has slowed down the product selling with displaying how many coins you received every time you sell a product. Is there any way to shut that off, or can you get rid of it. It's taking way too much time to go through your storage now. Please help.

kejusa May 15 2020 03:30 AM

Thank you so much, you are life savers at this time, so many of us are 'trapped' indoors or gardens - if we have one, so you are keeping us well entertained
Thank you :)

kikarne May 15 2020 03:38 AM

Happy Days...
 
Many thanks for the latest updates.

Keep refreshing the game for us.... it keeps it fun :)

Autumn06 May 15 2020 06:53 AM

I have a couple of questions about #2 on the list of new stuff for May 14th. The amount of fuel I have right now (that shows on the upper left hand of my screen) is 6, 044, 166. I'm assuming this # is of gallons not tanks. When I click on the map and go to the "fuel station" it shows I have 1768 tanks of fuel right now. This is coming from my oil refinery. I only have one. (Trick removed by a moderator)

Sometimes I will go get free fuel tanks (link to fb group removed by a moderator) but it can take days to get up to 20,000 tanks to give me enough fuel to work with for at least a month.

So my question is. If I get low to say around 3,000,000 I can refuel from the fuel station and it will add to what I already have not replace it right? I totally thought of this idea a long time ago but never suggested it because I didnt think you would use my idea :)
