michelle jo Aug 25 2022 02:18 AM

thank you for new update will we have to pay farm cash for this new farm pass 0r is it going to be just like the other quests we have please and thank you x

Clohar Aug 25 2022 02:42 AM

Thanks for the new update but I've seen a discrepency as the TEST TUBE RACK produce in the Science supplies factory is used in the Science club service. When I go to sell my items at thee market using ''non-ingredients for me'' selector the test tube rack is appearing into that list. Can you explain, and if it is an error please correct it please to avoid selling those at the market

Grumpdad Aug 25 2022 03:17 AM

The ingredient planner for The Great Scientists Book shows what is used to make it but not what it can be used in?? Is this also an error??

Palmarina Aug 25 2022 03:57 AM

thanks for the update and the new facilities.
Question: can we upload the science book in a service facility please?

Susan Canning Aug 25 2022 04:47 AM

Thanks for the update I have had an E=MC^2 farm for years, done in flowers

RoseArienh Aug 25 2022 07:14 AM

Thanks so much for the update. I love the Science Club, but it's causing me a lot of confusion. In the Science Club, when I click on the little notepad to the required ingredients, I see:

A run until-full of what you stock in the Science Club F5 requires:
Maple Lumber Pile
Teak Lumber Pile
Pine Lumber Pile
Plastic Granules
Stainless Steel Sheet
Aluminum Sheet

But when I look at "see stock planner for the Science Club" it shows the Pencil Compass, Calculator, Funnel, Test Tube Rack, EMC2 Equation Poster, Atom Model, Telescope, and Mobil Science Workstation that are made in the Science Supplies Factory.

So, while in the Science Club, I tried loading one batch of Telescopes, and on the "what's in stock" tab, it indicates that I now have 2 Telescopes in progress. But I have made no Telescopes in the Science Supplies Factory yet.

Is it just me? Do you need to pat me on the head and advise a second cup of coffee? I'm also curious about the Great Scientists Book.

Alexm2012 Aug 25 2022 07:29 AM

Will the farm pass cost money to purchase like other games? Or will it be a farm cash purchase like for the premium I will be buying it regardless but would rather know now so I can a) add the farm cash in

Hi ALexm,
When Raul releases the farm pass he will give us all the details about it.

Denise Dianna Aug 25 2022 07:16 PM

Hi Amanda,
You do not have any belts in the Science Club as it is a service facility and those do not have belts. The belts are in the facilities and the only product loaded in the Science Club currently that has belts is the Great Scientists Book that is produced in the Printing - Packaging Factory. The rest of the products for that service are from the Science Supplies Factory and we do not have belts for that facility yet.

Alexm2012 Aug 31 2022 05:39 PM

Hi Alexm,
My guess would be midnight EST in the US as that is the time used for the servers and the game for those things that use the 24 hour clock, like the NCC.

Right? I'm as anxious as the next person but dang!

Snookie Sue Sep 02 2022 08:53 AM

Better they take their time than screw up and make the game inaccessible. Raul-time has always been in some other universe. ;)

KnittyGirl Sep 02 2022 09:05 AM

How do we find the new "Farm Pass" game? Forgive me, but I don't think I've seen how it will be made available (like the quests, facilities, train manager etc); I was wondering if it will be through the Toolbox. I haven't seen it so I'm waiting patiently but wondering how to find it when it does become available! Happy Farming everyone!!!
