Hi and thanks for all your work! :)

When you say "players who purchase the Farm Pass", will this be a coins or cash purchase? Thank you!

disappointed you did not give new levels this release as is the normal timing of your new levels as the ones you gave last month were 2 months late, doing new levels this month would have put you back on the schedule you had for years and years on frequency of new levels .....

You're right! We should have had one in May. The last one previous to June's one was 5th February 2022. And 12 weeks from that is the 4th May 2022 which is when we had an update but not a level one as it should have been. The last one was the 20th June 2022.

The original schedule was every March, June, September, and December give or take a month in either direction. The reason for the alteration to this is that although the developers started transferring the game to Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) well before Flash Player was discontinued by Adobe they ran into unexpected problems after it was brought online. Coding is not easy and I still think they did a great job, but it did disrupt the usual pattern we are used to since there were other priorities. :)

We need the semi truck to bring more yeast

Farmers and the developers too will want to note that the help for the taro is incorrect if we look at help in the bonus box. I clicked on the question mark for it to find out what besides the new Boba teas might use the taro and it said that nothing is. Anyway, thanks for all the hard work you've done on the new update, Raul and team.

By the way, the help for the Boba Tea Shop if looking at the help tips in the Store correctly identifies what the taro makes.

Thank you, Raul and Team for all these wonderful updates and the cool new items!!

Underneath the game you have FarmTown Fans, Invite Friends, FAQ, Support, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and the Test Request Dialog.

What is the Test Request Dialog and what does it do please?

Hi Alexandra :)

It is only a test link and you dont have to use it if you are not asked to do it.

ok!! thank you

You are welcome Alexandra :)

there seems to be an issue with the new bonuses in facilities, when I fill them up to a point before a bonus, all good, next time I go to fill them the bonus count reverses back to previous count

Hi Keef,
Are you talking about how many batches needed to reach the next belt or dan? If so the count will reverse back due to the bonus batches you get when you load the product from previous belts. Those will not count toward the batches you need for the next belt because they do not use your own ingredients.

no not that when you fill the facilities it say how many more for the next belt, when you start you have white, yellow, orange, green, blue before you get to brown which gives you a bonus, i usually fill them so it says 10 to brown belt but next time i go to the same facility it has reverted back to the white, yellow, orange, green, blue belt to be filled before you get to brown

Hi Keef,
That would be because of the bonus batches that you get when you fill the product. Those bonus batches can not count toward the next belt. When you fill the product then it will show that you are closer to the next belt than you actually are, so the next time you look it will revet back to the correct amount.

ok 16 hours ago I claimed the Birthday Cake Cookies Brown Belt, now it is showing I need 4 batches to yellow belt

Hi Keef,
I am sorry, but I can not duplicate this. You can contact Support about this.
To contact Support click on the link below, fill out the form and submit it. Be patient as it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for them to respond to you depending on how many tickets they have ahead of yours.

You will receive an automatic response email when you submit your ticket. That email will have your ticket number and a link for you to check the status of your ticket, so please do not delete that email.

If you are having a problem getting responses from Support please read the information in the following link:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=644366

I have put in over 20 reports about my ongoing problem of not being able to send gifts/ boost my trains over the last 12 months have not recieved one ticket, my email does not have a spam box as i log into my internet providers online mailbox

Hi Keef,
If you put it in then they should get the ticket and can contact you through PM here. There is nothing they can do about the gift problem as that is a Facebook caused problem you have with that.

sent in did not get a ticket

Hi Keef.
As I said they will get it even though you are not getting automatic reply.

Not sure if you would want this here or suggestions .. but as it results from new facilities of this release ... The 'tapioca pearls" is made in the Boba Tea Supplies Factory -- then moved to the Boba Tea Supplies Store. When cashing out the Supplies Store, the tapioca pearls are included and thus gone from inventory. It is then not possible to start process for the Boba Tea Shop. Can you move the tapioca pearls to another facility so they remain available for the Tea Shop? I hope this makes sense. Thank you.

blocked from the game

thanks tino

Hi dnreynolds :)

We have other products made in factories that are also used in other factories and to load a service facility.
You have to produce more tapioca pearls so you can use them in both, regular and service facilities.

To give you another example of an item used in a regular factory and service facility, the Cheese Making Supplies Factory produces Cheese Wax.
Cheese Was is used in the Artisan Cheese Factory to produce Chedar and Spiced Gouda and also is used to load Cheese Butter Crafter World.

Hi Tino :)

As Taz told you in a previous response, there is nothing we can do about how facebook decide to set their security rules. If they think you and others are posting too fast and several times on your own profile and to many groups, like spammers use to do, then they can block you.

If you wish you can contact Support team to let them know about your problem.

why oh why does facebook block games when supposedly going to fast it is just ridiculous was fine for awhile but now come back with a vengence

Hi Amanda,
That is a question you would have to ask Facebook. We do not have any control over what security levels Facebook sets. The only thing I can tell you is to not post or copy so much to groups. You may not get as many bonuses, but you still get the percentage increase for the belts which also helps.

bloched from the game

Hi Tino :)

As we have told you before, we or the developers have no controll on how Facebook set their security rules. If you have been blocked for going too fast and you continue doing the same, then you will be blocked again.

If you wish you can contact Support team.

Hi Taz. The question is what is posting to much? I do on the very rare occasion post more than one post to a group but on the whole I do not post everyday and usually one post. These issues are spoiling the fun and FB seem to be using it as an excuse to lock those out of their account saying it's a security issue.

I have to assume that it is changes to FB or farm town in conjunction with FB. Also what some people may not be aware of is their internet security having VPN. If you have this enabled it may causing problems when logging into FB.

I was locked out again this morning on FB (5 times in 2 weeks) when I eventually get on I load farm town and get a "community standards" post for a farm town bonus I made to a group which was made on the 30th June. That is weeks ago and just shows how messed up FB is.

Unfortunately trying to contact FB is a sham, so nothing gets fixed. They will not tell you what the real problem is and hide behind anything they can lock you out for. There are no standards, one virtual agent will say one thing another something different. You cannot talk to a real person or email them with your problems. They dont care.

In general Farm Town is slow to load for me. I have some friends who cant get on Farm Town anymore to play. These issues make not for fun playing. It never used to be like this.

Personally I have found this whole experience very upsetting as I love to play Farm Town. I have decided to finish up my quests and take a very long break. I hope if or when I decided to come back at some point, that some of these issues will be fixed; but I may not return as I could find myself locked out again for no reason at all and having to jump through hoops to get back on is distressing.

I have been playing farm town since 2009. I am an elderly person who is retired and love to spend my time playing games on FB. I spend money playing my games on FB but it seems to cut no ice and is seen as expendable.

I know you mods do the best you can and advise as you see fit. But these problems with FB are probably effecting more people than you realise.

Thank you for your time
