Send Gifts tab: This section will allow you to send a gift to multiple farmers, several filters and sorting options are available to make the process faster

My Gifts tab: This will be the same as the current Gift box, it shows all the gifts that you have accepted but haven't used/stored yet

Pending Gifts tab: This section will show all the pending gifts that farmers have sent you but you haven't accepted yet, it will contain all the options currently available in Farmtown Facebook My Request tab

Note:The gifting activity in Farmtown Facebook app will be separate from Farmtown Website app, meaning, the gifts you send using Farmtown Facebook could only be accepted by farmers using Farmtown Facebook. Gifts you send using Farmtown Website could only be accepted by farmers using Farmtown Website.

Note 2:You can accept gifts using the My Request tab in Farmtown Website, however, sending gifts back can only be done inside the main game using the Gift Manager.

- If you have reported or ignored a farmer in the past, that farmer will show a new 'Unblock' icon if it's present in your Farmer Lists screen. Also, if you visit her farms, we will also show the 'Unblock' icon at the bottom left of the screen. The icon looks like a red circle with a green diagonal line inside.

- After reporting or ignoring a farmer, you will not receive any more neighbour or buddy requests from that farmer

- When using the Start All / Load All buttons in the Facility Manager, there is a new line at the bottom in the popup showing when help from friends was last requested

Post Release Updates - July 12th, 1:05PM

Post Release Updates - July 13th, 12:20PM

- In the farmtown.com website, when selecting friends to send gifts or train boost requests, there are now 3 sorting options:

1. Selected Stay in Place -> selected farmers remains in the same spot
2. Selected Move to Top -> selected farmers are automatically moved to the top of the list
3. Selected Move to Bottom -> selected farmers are automatically moved to the bottom of the list

If you don't want to select specific farmers as the recipients of your gift, it will probably be faster for you to use the default option 'Selected Move to Bottom', this way you just continue clicking on the same spot until you have selected the amount of farmers you want.

b) Bugfix: When using the Store Ingredients/Animals/Plants button in the Gift Manager, the stored gifts were not removed from the screen

c) Bugfix: If you have multiple pending gifts from the same farmer and that farmer is not your neighbour or buddy, if you click the Manage button under the picture and add the farmer to your neighbours or buddies, the Manage button remains on the screen until you close and re-open the Gift Manager

d) Bugfix: If you have farm pass goals to send or accept gifts, you will have to reload the game after sending or accepting gifts in the Gift Manager for farm pass goals to update

e) Bugfix: Pending gift count sometimes not fitting in the red circle

Note: In order to save storage space in our servers, pending gifts that are not accepted in a 60 day timeframe will be removed automatically.

Post Release Updates - July 18th, 3:30PM

- Bugfix: The 'Select ##' button was showing up when sending train boost requests, it should only show when sending gifts.

Post Release Updates - July 18th, 5:25PM

- In the farmtown.com website, you can now ask your friends to send you more of a specific gift by using the 'More' button in your Gift Manager -> My Gifts section. They will see your request in their My Requests -> Other Wall Requests section and will be able to send you the gift from there.

Post Release Updates - July 19th, 5:40PM

- Enabled the capability to buy Farm Cash in the farmtown.com website for all players. We currently accept payments via Paypal or Stripe, the 2 leading payment processors globally. Notice that both services allow you to use your credit card to pay.

Post Release Updates - July 20th, 9:50PM

- Improved the Bank screen shown in the farmtown.com website to buy Farm Cash, should be less confusing now.

Post Release Updates - July 21st, 5:15PM

- The 'Preferences' section located in the Account tab in the farmtown.com website was replaced by a new 'Profile' section. In addition to changing your avatar name and gender, now you will be able to change your real first name, your email and your password. Here are some rules:

1. Your real first name must contain only letters, no spaces or numbers

2. Your password must be at least 6 characters long

3. In order to change your password you must have access to your current email. If that's not the case, then you must change your email first for an email that you have access to, since we will be sending you security codes to that email.

4. In order to change your email you don't need to have access to your old email, but you do need to have access to your new email. Keeping a valid email as your farmtown email is very important since this is the only way you will be able to recover access to your farms if you forget your password.

In the future you will be able to change your picture as well, either by uploading a new one from your PC or by using the Facebook Login system to allow the game to automatically download and use your current Facebook picture.

Post Release Updates - July 28th, 5:20PM

- New 'Restore Purchases' button in the Bank screen. If you buy Farm Cash and is not added to your account due to connectivity issues or your browser crashed in the middle of the transaction etc, you can now go back into the game, open the Bank screen and click the Restore Purchases button at the bottom right. This will go through all your recently interrupted purchases and if the purchase was completed on the Paypal or Stripe side, we will add the Farm Cash to your account automatically.

This should work for all new purchases and for some of your past week purchases as well. If for some reason the game cannot restore your purchase, please send an email to billing@slashkey.com and we will research and respond promptly.

We have noticed that for some players when they click the Paypal or Stripe button, they see no new Paypal or Stripe browser tab, this is most likely due to popup blockers, please try disabling your browser extensions or use another browser to complete the purchase.

- Most pictures inside the main game should be showing correctly now. There could still be some broken pictures outside the main game, we will be fixing those in the coming days.

- The Signup feature is now live. New players without Facebook farms can use the green Signup button to create a new account in the Farmtown website. For players with Facebook farms that haven't registered in the new website, please send an email to support@slashkey.com , we will guide you through the process of registering in the new website and recovering access to your Facebook farms.

In the future, we may create a Chrome extension or a Windows App that you can use on your own to help us authenticate you and grant you access to your Facebook farms.

Note: There is a new rule for *new* players signing up in the new website when sending Farm Cash gifts to other players. They can send as much Farm Cash as they have bought themselves, Farm Cash earned by leveling up or any other way cannot be sent to other players. This is to mitigate the creation of fake accounts in the new website with the sole purpose of leveling up and sending Farm Cash to other players.

Post Release Updates - August 6th, 5:40PM

- Bugfix: Missing pictures outside the main game

- Bugfix: Some missing pictures inside the main game

- Bugfix: Some players outside the United States were experiencing errors when purchasing Farm Cash

- When purchasing Farm Cash, if you have some kind of browser popup blocker installed, the Paypal or Stripe page to complete the payment may not open as expected. When this happens, you now have the option to retry your payment in the same browser tab where your game is running, this way the popup blockers will not interfere and the Paypal and Stripe pages will show up correctly. When you are done with your payment, you just need to reload the game and your Farm Cash will be automatically added to your account.

- When purchasing Farm Cash, if you complete your payment in Paypal or Stripe but there is an unexpected error in the game, computer or network that causes the purchase to not be automatically recognized, you just need to reload the game as usual, and your Farm Cash will be automatically added to your account.

- Bugfix: After loading the game, sometimes a mail icon was showing up in the left edge of the farm, also, all tools in the toolbox were enabled even when not owned

Known Issues:

- None.

Thank you Raul and the whole team for the new items, and a great job as always.

ty Raul for the new updates

Thanks to Raul and all the dev team for your continued hard work with the websites and keeping the new releases coming, much appreciated! :D

thank you for all the work, the updates, the bug fixes and your never ending enthousiasm to go on!

Thank you Raul and team...your hard work is much appreciated.

Is there any way to buy Farm Cash in the new version and, if not can we still buy it in the old version?

Thank you Raul and team for another great job!! :)

I just got mine via the Facebook version. So far the Slashkey tab still had the red notice as of yesterday.

gift box
 

Are we able then to send gifts both in farmtown facebook and farmtown website?

When will the dans and belts come out for the factories that are new?

No you can not send them from the website yet. It has not been released yet, but soon.

gift
 

I know that it has not been released yet but when it is will you be able to send from both?

Hi Texans,

Yes, but not both to the same person. If you send to then in Facebook then you will not be able to also send to them in the website in the same time frame.

Great, thanks for clearing that up. Did the new Dans and Belts get released?

Hi Texans,

If Raul did not list it then no new belts and dans have been released. Only the developers know when they will release more.

thanks...worked for me too :)

thanks for the update and for all the hard work y'all do to keep the game going :D

Thank you!!! Especially for the line showing when help was last requested. That is a tremendous help!

Super happy that we're getting the gifting feature soon!!! Thanks so much!

Thank you Raul and Team for all you do. I have been playing since 2009, and love all of the changes since the migration started. I have been playing so much more than in the past few years. I am loving the game! Thank you for our new update.

I still have to login to slash key every-time I want to go to my farm which is several times a day. Very annoying... I have checked all my settings in browser (Opera) to no avail. None of my other sites on bookmarks tabs do this (the ones I DO NOT log out of) . So is it something you need to do.

Hi hoghappy,
If you are closing the browser completely that you have your farms open in then you have to log back in each time. If you close your farms tab, but still have another tab open in the same browser then when you reopen your farms you will not have to log in.
If it is still making you log in even with another tab still open then it has to be something in the browser that is causing it. There is nothing the developers can fix for you.

Free Farmtown Gifts
 

Are we going to be able to use the free gifting sites anymore?

Thank You!

Hi Gary Strube,
We do not have any information on those. As those are not owned or controlled by Slashkey you would need to address your question to the owners/administrators of those sites.

Thank you all so much for all of your hard work. Also, love the new stuff!

Deb

Thanks so very much for all the time and hard work going into the process of moving the game off of Facebook.
I am delighted to see each time when old features are moved to new features on the website version.
I do have a question: will we be able to send facility work requests to a select few neighbors on the web version, like we have been able to do on the Facebook version? I miss that feature. Sometimes I get too many coming to work the facilities and I run out of ingredients in many of the facilities. Takes me a long time to build the stock back up.
Thanks again for everything you developers are doing. I really appreciate it.:)

Thank you so much everyone. Keep it coming and we will be free soon :)

Hi Linda,
It will depend on whether the developers want to try or can figure out a way to do that. Currently that is not available. The developers are working hard right now just trying to get all the features working through the website.

You can make a suggestion in the Suggestions section for this if you wish. You can not start a new thread there, but you can reply to one that fits your suggestion.

Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you Raul for the work on the game have to add this new issue the trains will not work right you said it was fixed hope so.

Will there ever be a way to buy a gift card for Farm Cash? I really liked doing that a few years ago with FB.

Millions thanks to Paul and all dev of the gaame a tremendous work done as yet. Today I have experienced a problem. I went in the facility manager to harvest all animals in all farms using the harvest all tab. I do have all the tools to harvest them all at the same time. I do have, as per the facility manager, 260 animal bldgs. After thatI went in the Show farm stats and I have seen that there were still animals bldgs not harvested on farms 4 and 35. I think there is a bug there. After seing that I retried 2 times and got the same result. So I did harvest manually on each farms 4 and 35.

Hi Clohar,

You have both of those farms and your Farm 1 set as Quest farms which is what prevents the animal sheds from being harvested on those farms when you use the Harvest All at the top of the Facility Manager.

You can either go to those farms and remove the check mark for that setting or continue to harvest those individually in the Facility Manager.

Thanks for the info didn't realize that

You're welcome Clohar, glad we were able to help :)

thanks for your answer. I never close some tabs they are always open and they never log me out when I close browser. Guess I will just live with it as this site is the only one that makes me login again..

Hi Hoghappy,
Have you tried setting your browser to "continue where you left off"?


Post Release Updates - May 4th, 12:30PM - If you keep your browser open or you have enabled the 'Continue where you left off' option in your browser, you will remain logged in to the website for up to a week, so when you reload the game during this period you won't have to enter email and password. If you use the Farmtown website in a public computer, just remember to click the Logout button at the top right when you are done playing.

I DO NOT have unclaimed Farm Pass Rewards. The Farm Pass is a complete waste of money and one month was one month too much. I and many others want the yellow lozenge removed from the FT screen as it inteferes with sowing and harvesting.
