New Release -- March 22nd, 2013
 

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Apr 2nd, 4:20PM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. Easter Items: Last Year items plus 16 New Items, 2 New Trees in the gift section and 14 in the Store.

2. More Airplanes: Regular, Propeller and Small Airplanes. We now have 4 different styles and 4 color patterns for each style for a total of 16 Airplanes. Old Farm Cash crop dusters are now much cheaper.

3. 25 New Levels: 50+ items all in coins.

4. Farm 18: Here are the prices in coins (FC prices remains the same):

12 x 12 Farm 18: 18000000
14 x 14 Upgrade: 15000000
16 x 16 Upgrade: 16000000
18 x 18 Upgrade: 17000000
20 x 20 Upgrade: 2200000000
22 x 22 Upgrade: 2300000000
24 x 24 Upgrade: 2400000000
26 x 26 Upgrade: 3000000000
28 x 28 Upgrade: 5000000000
30 x 30 Upgrade: 4000000000
32 x 32 Upgrade: 4000000000

5. Ultimate Freight Locomotive: This is a faster locomotive that visits all the markets in only 4 days. You can now have 4 trains dispatched at any given time, one with a Standard Locomotive, one with an Enhanced Locomotive, one with a Supreme Locomotive and another one with the Ultimate Locomotive.

6. Fishing Boat 2x2 (Coins): Fish up to 4 fish at once. This tool can’t be used when working for others.

7. Independent 'Hire to Harvest Trees' and 'Hire to Harvest Flowers' options: The 'Hire to Harvest Crops and Trees' and 'Hire to Harvest Crops and Flowers' options in the marketplace were replaced by individuals 'Hire to Harvest Trees' and and 'Hire to Harvest Flowers' options. This provide users with more control and still you can use the Advance Multihire feature to Hire workers for multiple type of work at once.

8. Warning Message when buying duplicate tools in Store: When you try to buy a tool that is less or equally advanced to a tool that you already have in your Item Storage you will receive an extra confirmation message. For example, if you have the Tree Shaker 8 x 8 in your Item Storage and you want to buy the Tree Shaker 12 x 8 but you select the 4 x 8 or the 8 x 8 by mistake, you will receive a warning message. This will help users to not buy duplicate items by mistake.

9. Turbo Tools for Service Facilities: The new Turbo tools 'Turbo Checkout Station' and 'Turbo Manual Lift Truck' allows you to Load Products into multiple Service Facilities with one click. To use these tools use the 'Load All' button in the Facility Manager.

All facilities will be loaded in the same order as they appear in the Facility Manager according to the filters selected. For example, if only 'Facilities in current Farm' are shown then only Service Facilities in current farm will be loaded. If 'Facilities in all Farms' are shown, all Service Facilities in all farms will be loaded.

10. Other Minor Bug Fixes:
- The ? sign in Facility Manager is not getting in the way anymore to access the filter options for users with high diversification rank
- Sprinklers can now be used on farms with flowers only on the area covered by the 32x32 farm expansion

11. Meal Rental Supplies Factory (Coins): Produces Meal Rental Supplies.

Chafer
Display Basket Rack (used in the Mobile Catering Trailer)
Chocolate Fountain
Hairnet (used in the Mobile Catering Trailer)
Hat and Apron
Event Decor
Folding Chair
Portable Bar

Chafer
Chocolate Fountain
Hat and Apron
Event Decor
Folding Chair
Portable Bar
Pear Slices
Yellowtail Sushi
Garden Salad
Sesame Chicken

Enjoy!

Thanks Mate :)

Thank you so much!!!!!

Thank you !!!!!!!!

Thanks!!! Another fine update. As I have a habit of saying....this game just gets better and better. Great work SlashKey!!!!!

love it!!!

Thanks for the update, but where has my orange sprinkler gone? The brown one won't water my crops. Help!!!!!!!!

Thanks!! This update looks great! Can't wait to get farm 18 going!!

thank you !!

same with my purple sprinkler :(

oh thanks a lot for new release and Easter stuff

If you take it out of storage and put it on the farm, it works. It appears that the 2 sprinklers are on top of each other in the tool box and the brown sprinkler takes precedence.

Thanks for the new stuff - just in time for the weekend!

thank you muchly :):)

Thanks Raul

has the sprinkler system changes as It appears only the brown original sprinkler is in the toolbox?

Thank you - a super update - hope all are feeling healthier now too. Just one small thing - the name of the "Meal Rental Supplies Factory" - sorry but what happens if the rent doesnt get paid - does one have to "return" the meal :eek:
Maybe it should be "Catering Rental" - just sayin :D:D

So does the turbo tools only work on service facilities? And you need to buy two tools for 100FC to make it work?

Thnakyou very much for the updates :)

yipped just bought my 18th farm and now have 18 farms for acorn squah now to get enough fertilizer to double them all :)

Thanks for the update but it would appear I and many others are having problems with the mobile sprinklers. Although I have all the mobile sprinklers in storage only the flower sprinkler is showing. I have taken all sprinklers out and put them on farm.... saved then refreshed..... put them all back in storage, saved and refreshed....... and still they are not showing up. Need them to be working. Am sure Devs will be looking into this. Just thought I should report the problem in case they were not aware.

Once again thanks for the updates.. and love the new tools! saves on the clicks .

It had better be returned in the same state it was recieved :eek:

My green sprinkler is also missing from the extended tool box, I have done all of the clearing, to include the memcache, and then reloaded the game and it is still missing from the tool box. My server is WF-8.

Yes mine are not in the tool box but I took my purple sprinkler out of storage and placed it on farm 7 (any farm would do) and it works as usual - so that is a work around - take the sprinkler you want to use out of storage and place on a farm - then click on it to use as normal.

I found the turbo manual lift was locked until I bought the turbo checkout

Hi all , just letting you know we have advised the developers about the problem with sprinklers missing from the extended tool box since the new release.

thanks again for the update :)

Thank you Tony

Thank you for another great update! Hope everyone is feeling better!

thanks. farm 18 good

Thanks so much, Raul! I pray those who were ill recently are feeling better now. :)

Thnaks for the update. But, it appears the turbo load all facilities one doesn't work yet after purchasing. Also, it would be nice if you could check which facilities you do or don't want to be included. Many things produce way too much and aren't needed each time.

Checked when I got up, no updates. Went and did my shopping and had a nice surprise when I got home and logged in.

Thanks for the updates Raul !

:mad: only have access to the grey sprinkler, who only waters farm, what happend to all the other ones???? :(

Nicole who plays from 2009

Please put the sprinklers back in the toolbox. Having to remove them from storage and then putting them back is a pain and waste of time. Thank you.

Hi, there appears to be a glitch with the sprinklers since the new release, the developers have been advised.

There is a sweet spot and the sprinkler works. Move your mouse til you find it and you can water your farms.

Thanks for the update, and hope everyone is feeling better.

Looking forward to working with the new stuff. Have a great weekend everyone. :D

Same problem
 

Hope they fix it too! Sad

My green sprinkler no longer works when it is in storage. I have to remove it from storage and place on the farm, then irrigate and move back to storage. And repeat for every farm. This problem just started with the new update.

The Start All button is not enabled yet as that relates to the ord facilities but the load all for services appears to be working fine
