New Release -- July 7th, 2012
 

See Known Issues and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at July 23th, 7:15PM EST.

Hi There,

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

1. 25 New Levels: More than 50 items all in coins. Most fathers day items were moved to the fun category.

2. Farm 15: Here are the prices in coins (FC prices remains the same):

12 x 12 Farm 15: 15000000
14 x 14 Upgrade: 12000000
16 x 16 Upgrade: 13000000
18 x 18 Upgrade: 14000000
20 x 20 Upgrade: 1700000000
22 x 22 Upgrade: 1800000000
24 x 24 Upgrade: 1900000000
26 x 26 Upgrade: 3000000000
28 x 28 Upgrade: 5000000000

3. Belts and Dans for Facility Products: The next 10 Facilities (in order of appearance in the Store) now have Belts and Dans enabled for each product. With each Belt or Dan you achieve you will increase your chances of getting a "free" Batch automatically for every Batch you start from that point on.

Free Batches means that a new Batch is sent to production without consuming any ingredients or coins. See December 30th Release Post for the benefit % table.

4. Big Blooms Minigame: It's a flower watering minigame with Practice and Multiplayer support already enabled. As usual, you have 3 stages and you can go into Practice mode to play each of the stages and improve personal records or you have the option to play multiplayer with all your friends currently in the farm, in this case, the user who finish all the 3 stages first win.

The Goal of this minigame is to use the hose to water the blossoms so they can grow into flowers and be picked by the pickers.

5. Prodution Increases:

a) Freight Cars Benefits Increased, they now bring:

- 50% more Plastic Granules, Rubber Sheet and Flour
- 3 times (200% increase) more Flat and Mirror Glass Sheets, Corn Flour, Ground Coffee, Cardstock, Paper Roll and Pigments

b) Super animals now produce 50% more product in the same time frame, ex: when you harvest a Holstein Cow you get 15 milk instead of 10.

c) Animal Storage increased by 25%, the limit is now 125 animals per building.

d) Harvest Storage increased by 25%.

6. New Freight Cars: These new freight cars loading capacity already have the increase we applied to previous freight cars.

Long Refrigerated Car: Brings you Cheese, Vanilla ice cream, Shrimps, Scallops, Tomato Juice and Lemon Juice.
Long Tank Car: Brings you Petrochemical Barrel and all Inks.

7. Train Components mutiple rotated views: Locomotives will have 4 rotated views available and Passenger Wagons and Freight Cars will have 6 views available. To change the rotated view for a train component already in the farm just use the standard 'Rotate' menu option.

Post Release Updates - June 10th, 3:30PM EST

- Red, Green and Modern Train multiple views are now available. Freight Train views will be available in the next release.

Post Release Updates - July 14th, 3:30AM EST

- People with locked trains that couldn't be moved or dispatched (even if the trains were unloaded but not dispatched again) should now see their trains unlocked and ready to move or dispatch.

This was happening mostly to those users that were hitting the unload button twice (like a doubleclick) instead of once (single click).

Post Release Updates - July 23th, 7:15PM EST

- We detected that the bug referenced above was still happening to a small fraction of people, this should be much more improved now.

We are currently monitoring the results of this fix, please continue to post feedback about this bug.

Thanks Raul! Awesome!

WOWOW...playing all morning and come back to an update! Thanks Raul!

thank you for up date

Thanks Raul :)

Thanks Raul for the awesome update.

Thanks Raul and Co., finished buying my land now to see what else is there.... don't care all the upgrade and stuff are great so just wanted to say thank you, thank you, and now to play.

SO excited to get this update! I've been checking here everyday.

Question:
Can we add new cars to a dispatched train?

Been on here all day on and off - just came back not really expectign anything and here it is - thank-you - off to investigate now.

Very pleased about the update too. Real people coming next time.

Once the train has been dispatched nothing can be changed until it returns and is unloaded.

thank you Raul

Thank you!

Thanks for the update, will be reworking my farms like silly!

:D

Thank you!

:)
Thanks Raul!
Was beginning to wonder if I was going to get the update! Must be coming in waves. Oh, well. I have it NOW! :D

Just to verify....are the prices for Farm 15 or 14??

Looks to be a good update, provided I can work on my neighbors facilities now.

Thanks,
Deborah

No, you have to wait till it is finished.

Bless the devs and Raul, I am doing a Happy dance just for the rotations on my little trains. Now can really make my train towns look real. Love all of the updates. Thanks

Thanks for the new goodies, farm and levels. Im very sad that there is still no faster way of working neighbors facilities, so I guess im just going to keep logging in from time to time for the decorating part of the game.

Thanks for all the fantastic additions.....game just gets better and better.....Keep up the great work!!! Thank you!!!!

Wow - plenty here to keep me busy for a while - Thanks Devs!

Thanks so much Raul for the update. If we have the facilities required by the trains and place them in storage; Will they still show in fac mgr and function as the do on the farms??

Thanks for the update, just expanded farm 15 all the way and bought a couple of the new facilities, now its time to go play

Thank you SO much for the great update! I was only expecting new levels and farm #15, but WOW! I am thrilled with everything!!!

beautiful guys THANKS!!!!

Thank you! Wasn't expecting update at this time in the evening! Normally it's early morning and I am rushing about! :D

Thanks Raul for a great update :)

Ok, guess I am bit confused. I didn't by the train cars in the last update because there wasn't one I needed. Now I need the long sliding car. I have Standard Freight locomotive and I have the Textile and Spinning Mill on the current farm. The long sliding car is listed as just "Locked" if I go to another farm it tells me I need the Textile and Spinning Mill. I have refreshed the game, put the locomotive in storage and brought it back out. Do I need to do that to Spinning Mill too? Or what gives with the Locked?

OH OH OH OH OH!!!!!! i was here earlier, and i went to take a little nap, and we get an update!!!! AWESOME, RAUL AND DEV TEAM!!!! thank you thank you thank you thank thank you!!!!! off to farm and play with trains!!! :D:D:D

thanks for the cows

Oh yes and all the other increases to the production in the facilities

Problem with buying the trains
 

I'm having the same problem as DocPerk now too
just moved the facilities needed for each car to the farm I want to set up my
train and now the cars are all appearing a locked - is this a temporary glitch?
thanks!

Wow! Thanks Raul! Love the updates..new freight cars..farm 15.. cow milk and eggs increase!! People coming in next release! Awesome!!

gracias sr raul

Well I guess that was what it was. I put the spinning mill in storage, brought it back out and reloaded the game and I was able to purchase the train car I wanted.

Looking forward to all the new features :)

Thanks, Nice update, But I still want my Farm Cash returned for my missing heavy wool Animals PLease and Thank you. It has been 8 weeks already. Nice we can add 125 to the animal barns now. Please return my Farm Cash. Oh and I know they can't do anything about it here, I'm just saying, making/taking/and keeping notes. :)

Thanks for the update!

Thanks Raul----Been checking everyday for #15!!! I came home and there it was.....love all the new goodies we can get!! People next time?? That will be awsome! This is the only game I play--love it!

Thank you!
 

Thank you so much! I'm home sick this summer and Farm Town really keeps me entertained!

i am trying to relocate my trains which are on farm 13 and cannot do it...am aware this is a glitch...want to relocate to the new 15....thanks

Are you trying to put the freight train in storage? If so is it still dispatched? You cant move it or put it or the box cars into store until it has returned and been unloaded.
