New Release -- July 1st, 2010
 

Hey there,

Read below the recent updates to FarmTown. This list includes the new levels, gifts, facilities and path we mentioned on Thursday. Things got a little tricky over here so we ended up launching the latest update about 30 hours late, we are sorry for those who waited long hours for it.

1. Axe tool to chop Pine, Oak, Bamboo and Cinnamon trees: Notice the Oak was previously a harvestable tree producing Accorns, this is not the case anymore. From now on, Oak trees are not harvestable, you can only chop them with the Axe to produce stuff later on in your facilities. Oak tree is now at level 44. Chopped logs are used by the Sawmill or the Cinnamon Factory.

The Mayor will re-plant all chopped trees overnight, to save you the burden of doing it yourself.

2. 10 New Levels: About 30+ new items, all in coins. This includes buildings, decorations and gifts.

3. Cobblestone Path: There are another 2 paths shown in the store, locked. They will probably be released early next week. There are many more paths and some new grounds to be released probably later next week.

4. Sawmill (coins): Allows you to produce Pine and Oak lumbers from Pine and Oak logs (timbers).

5. Cinnamon Factory (27FC): Allows you to produce Cinnamon Bundles from the Cinnamon Logs. Cinnamon Bundles are currently used in the Bakery to produce Cinnamon Buns and in the Coffee Shop to produce Cinnamon Latte.

6. Tea Factory (coins): Allows you to produce Black and Green Tea Bags from the Tea crop.

7. Coffee and Tea Shop (33FC): Allows you to produce different types of drinks from Coffee, Tea, Chocolate and Milk:

-Espresso
-Brewed Coffee
-Capuccino
-Cinnamon Late
-Hot Chocolate
-Mocha
-Iced Tea
-Green Tea

8. Start production of multiple batches at once on your facilities: There is a button '+ 10' right next to the 'Start production' button in all the facilities. That button will start the production of 10 (or sometimes, less) batches with one single click.

9. Product filters in storage and market windows: This will allow you to find faster the products you are looking for. Notice that the 'non-ingredients' filter will show you all the products that can not be used as ingredients in your facilities (except fuel).

10. Ground options on the Paths/Ground section in the Store: You can now select different ground types for your fam, this is a per-farm setting. More ground types comming soon.

11. New Tea Crop.

Enjoy!

Thanks

--Raul

QUESTION - what is the capacity of our harvest storage? I get the notice that it's "nearly full," but would love to be able to track it ourselves!

Ah...always something fun!! YAY!! Thanks!! :D

"...ServoFarmer took an axe...
Gave her Farm2 forty whacks..
When she saw what she had done..
She gave her Farm3 forty-one!!..."

WOOT!!

Love #2 and #2. Thank you!

Thanks for the updates!

Just in time for my birthday.

latest functionality
 

Fantastic, I love the filters and the reduced mouse clicks when producing items. Despite what a pretentious "programmer" had to say, you obviously care about your customers. This game keeps getting better. Keep up the good work!!

Not sure that I like the all or nothing change of ground cover, but you made it easy and cheap to flip back and forth. I'm anxiously awaiting the new paths.

Even at level 90, I still enjoy the game. When creating all the facilities don't lose sight of the fact we need to be able to spend all this money on decorations and creating interesting farms/towns.

Tea, cinnamon, milk, coffee beans, sugar.....Starbucks is coming to Farm Town!! :D

Thanks Raul, you are doing a great job

I wonder, right now we have coffee and now we have tea, is their a coffee shop in the new updates tomorrow? I better start saving my ground coffee...

:D Thanks Raul, and Developers :D I've already chopped down all my trees in preparation for the new facilities. I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming.

Fun stuff ~ THANKS!

One little thing...when l put down my new cinnamon tree it disappeared as the pop-up came up to show me the axe feature. No, l do not have trees hidden. Also l had not picked up the axe yet to use it (l don't think so, l wanted a look at the tree!). No big deal at this point - there will be plenty more free gift trees!

Absolutely phenomenal upgrade - the counters in loading the facilities (+10, etc.) is saving me an enormous amount of time - THANK YOU so much Farm Town.....

Bummer, l'm at my first farm now and l just lost another new tree. lt's not in my storage with the pine logs l cut down so it wasn't a mistake with the axe feature. lt happened as soon as the pop-up came on screen to show the axe.
:(

Ok...now I really need to make an entire farm an orchard of trees. But, I need that space for crops. <sob> Decisions decisions.

Oh, and thanks for the update! I'm particularly looking forward to new levels tomorrow!

love the sell non ingredients option and I have long grass! time to get that mower going

It os chopped you can see the base reload and it will come back

Really Raul , an update ! Game on Dude :mad: *I cannot believe you have given me an Axe hmmm *

Thanks ;)

OMG l love the tall grass! lt looks so...grassy!

lt's there!! Whew!

Guess it took some time to load. Thanks!
lt's lovely!

I did the same thing, If you notice though there is now a stump where the tree would be...

Just a warning for those doing a quick sell of non facility items in their storage.

The fuel tanks are listed and if you are not careful you can easily press the sell button by mistake. I just caught myself in time.

So either leave them in the gift section or be careful if they come from your Oil Refinery.

Thanks for the warning, I luckily had already used my fuel tanks today and was just thinking how handy the new stuff was. That will make me thing twice tomorrow.

Way to go, Raul.....thanks so much!! Love the new ground covers, and other updates...I wait with baited breath on the ones to come!!!!!:D:D:D:D

Thanks!!! I noticed the producing trick since I was making wine, and I'll have to check out the rest. Eager to see what tomorrow brings :)

Darn. Just finished loading the facilities before the update. :mad:

I can't seem to find this. I'll reload and check back.

Duh!!! On edit - didn't see the scroll bar!!! LOL. :)

lol tiza i was thinking the same thing

Starting production in multiple batches is the best update!! Things are sooo much faster now. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Multiple batches is wonderful! I can do things so much faster now.
Question: the new grass is not a "path"? The whole farm has to take on that new aspect? That's what happened at my farm.

thanks Raul'' looking forward to tomorrow.. to see what there is

whole farm takes on the new aspect.

Wish it was just squares to place.:mad:

wow!!!! I love the plain black land it looks so cool ..and it covers a big area but I cant find the cinnammon tree

Thank you...sounds fun...I cannot wait for tomorrow (:

i love the new sorting in storage and the 10+ bottom. thanks for your hard work.

Question are ya going to give me something I can spend my 65+ mil coins on? like facilities, or adding new things to make in the old facilities? If so how soon?

Ohhhh...Nice! Thanks so much to you hard working people behind the scenes....you truly rock!
