4. My Super Facility: This feature intents to provide another way to acquire high demand products and also to incentivize and make trading easier between farmers. You can access this feature through the My Super Facility icon in the tool box, the one with the brown roof. Check the rules below:

a) Every week you can upgrade a facility that produces ingredients to a Super Facility for the remainder of the week. These facilities may be Mines, Mills, Semi-Trailer, Fish Farming, etc but in general it can be any facility that produces at least one product that is commonly used as an ingredient on other facilities, like the Brewery.

b) The exact facility that will be upgraded will be chosen at random by the game

c) Every instance of the Super Facility will increase production by 50% during the current week

d) The extra production will be split in 2 buckets: The Trade Marketplace bucket and the Neighbours bucket

e) You can sell all the products in the first bucket to any farmer at very low prices, so buyers have a significant incentive to accept your offer, however this transaction can only occur in the Trade Marketplace

f) You can sell all the products in the second bucket to any of your neighbours, this transaction can occur anywhere

g) Even if you sell your extra products below market price or give them away for free to other farmers and neighbours, the Mayor will still reward you for helping others based on the amount of products you sold or gave

h) In a particular day, every product type has to be sold to a different farmer

i) When selling a particular product type all its available stock in the bucket has to be sold at once

j) At the end of each day all unsold products on each bucket are lost and the buckets start filling again the next time you start productions on the Super Facility

k) The main screen will show information about each bucket for the current day

l) You can check weekly totals using the notepad icon on the top right corner of each product

m) When the week is over, you can check your weekly totals and upgrade your next facility

n) To sell your Super Facility products to a farmer click on its avatar and select the 'Sell Products to' option, then on the first dropdown select the 'Extra Products from Super Facility' option

o) To quickly start productions on all instances of your Super Facility use the new 'Super Facilities' filter in the Facility Manager

p) This feature uses the player’s local time to determine when each day and week starts and ends. Each day starts at 12:00AM and ends at 11:59:59PM. Each week starts on Monday 12:00AM.

***The benefits of this feature include:***

a) Every extra product produced by your Super Facility did not cost you any extra time and ingredients to produce, so when you sell it, all the coins you receive are pure profit

b) For every product you sell (or give away for free) you will earn one back as a gift from the Mayor

c) The Super Facility products you buy from other farmers can be used to complete pending Quest steps if you have the Trading Lifeline

5. Other minor Improvements:

a) The 'Select Farm' screen when hiring at the market now works only in multi farm mode
b) When you receive an offer from another farmer to buy products we now show a percentage number (%) that reflect how the offer compares to market price

6. House of Pancakes (Coins): Produces Pancakes.

Strawb Banana Pancakes
Chocolate Pancakes
Spiced Pancakes
Cupcake Pancakes
Blueberry Pancakes

8. Dutch Restaurant (Coins): Produces Dutch Food.

Post Release Updates - January 25th, 2:00PM

- During the next few days or weeks we may have to adjust the rules and benefits of the Super Facility feature, this functionality is very dynamic and it's difficult to know without testing live the effects on the different areas of the game.

Post Release Updates - January 25th, 8:30PM

- If you try to sell the same product to several users at the same time, the first one that accept the offer is the one that get the products, the rest will see the following message: "Sorry, this offer has already been taken by another farmer."

- When you receive an offer, in that first message you will now see the Markup % above or below market, so you don't have to click the Review Offer if the % is too high for you.

- Changed the different Markup % available when selling Super Facility products, the maximum above market is now 50%.

- The default Markup % is now 0% (market price)

Post Release Updates - January 26th, 2:00AM

- Each neighbour online status in the Neighbour Bar, represented by the green dot, is now much more accurate after the game loads
- Every time you select the 'Order by Online Status' option the online status for all your neighbours is updated. After that the name of the option will change to 'Refresh Online Status' so you can use it at anytime

Thanks Raul for the update!

ty for new update. but I thought super facilty was for non workable by friends I got the saw mill and my will metal mills.

Thanks Raul for new update.

Hi max_river,
I sent an email to developers concerning this. However, if you think about it those facilities also supply ingredients for other facilities. I got the Oast house which supplies the Brewery.

i got the oil factory ..from the way the super facility was described the only ones upgraded were those that are non workable by our neighbors .. at least that is how it read to me as those were the ones that had previously been listed in the past 2 updates .. no big deal if that's not the way things were able to be worked out but would be nice since those take the longest to produce any products and seem to have the highest demanded ingredients

Hi storm,
Raul has changed the information to clarify it:


a) Every week you can upgrade a facility that produces ingredients to a Super Facility for the remainder of the week. These facilities may be Mines, Mills, Semi-Trailer, Fish Farming, etc but in general it can be any facility that produces at least one product that is commonly used as an ingredient on other facilities, like the Brewery.

Thanks for the update!!

Thanks for the update! Can't wait to check it out!

As always, thank you Raul and team!

Thanks for always making the game interesting! :)

Just tried the new Super Facility. It selected the Paper Mill. I have 6 of them. I went to my Facility Manager, used the filter for Super Facilities & received a whole list of facilities. I guess I was expecting that it would only display my Paper Mills. Although they were all there I did have to search for them. Can it be fine-tuned to just show the facility/facilities for the current week?

Hi BarbLH,
You have to uncheck the Animal buildings and the Services. Then set the regular facilities to the Super Facilities. Then you will see only those.

THANKS!

I wish you would give up on Beta and go up like 1000 levels.

It's not like we're going to take the money and run.

Just sayin.

OK, thanks, Taz! Will try that tomorrow. :)

Hi All,
Just a reminder if you wish to post suggestions for changes please post them in the Suggestions section and not here in the release. You can not start a new thread there but you can reply to one that fits your suggestion.

Wow, just in time for my birthday! Thanks!

Thank you for the update

awesome update does the extra products from the super factory get awarded at the end of the week?

ooh cant wait for the dutch restaurant my husband is dutch so will have to buy that one

Ty for updates but how do you sell to your neighbours with the super facilities

Hi amanda1955,

Just meet your neighbour on your farm or their farm, then click on their avatar to sell products to them.

Why do I not see the 'Super Facilities' filter in the Facility Manager?

Update: disregard - the 'Super Facility' has it's own icon in the toolbox...looks like the 'Super Facilities' description needs to be revised to clarify its location...

1) will the Super Facility always be a coin purchased facility or will cash ones like the bee farms, fish farms, oil factory, chocolate factory etc... be included

2) i know this is a suggestion but can you make the icon picture of the Super Facility that is chosen for that week link to that facility it will make it easier for those who do not have the FM tools yet to keep it full (link to it like u have for the quests)

This morning following the update, I noticed that one of my Co-op quests were missing (I always leave 4 open and there were only 3). Did not think much of it at the time but now every time I load my farm I have a notification that a co-op quest can be redeemed, I open them but there is nothing there. Coming out of the quests I then have a notification that a co-op quest has expired, I again open the co-op and when doing so the number one disappears. I have cleared memcashe but it still happens every time I load the farm!!!

Any ideas??

Hi Grumpdad :)

We emailed the developers about this problem, please be patience while they check into this.

Is there a limit on how much you can buy and/or sell with the super factories and what day of the week will it change? thanks for the update and keeping the game interesting

Will it trade goods for the Super-facility and it count towards our regular Quests?

Great update! Really excited about the super facility.

I can also echo what Grumpdad said. Both my wife and I are missing co-op quests that were started yesterday. Mine was for Gin. Interestingly, I can buy the corn/grain alcohol/juniper berries from other farmers, I just can't start/collect. Hopefully this will help find the solution.

Hi Zeeky,
The filter for the Super Facility is in the Funnel filter in the dropdown for the Regular facilities.

Hi JNelson,
No it won't always be a coin facility. And you do not have to have the tools for the facility manager to be able to keep tthat facility full. Suggestions go in the Suggestion section.

Hi Alexandra,
We have asked for clarification on the use in quests, but we think you would have to have the Trade Lifeline for them to count toward quests.

which day of the week with the new SF start on? Thursday or Friday

Hi JNelson,
Since it was released on Thursday I would say that would be right, however we don't have specific information on that, so don't quote me.

Shortly after the release last night, I tried the Super Facility. Mine was the Fish Farming Plant. My facility was near empty so I fully loaded it, checked the Super Facility and it showed all that I had just loaded. Now this morning, I check the Super Facility and it showed zero product. I reloaded my facility with what little I could and when I check, it only shows the small amounts, so I lost all that I loaded last night. Thank you, as always, for the new release.

Is there antway to tell if your neighbors are on line?

Hi Lin Greenthumb,
The following will explain why you lost all of that:
j) At the end of each day all unsold products on each bucket are lost and the buckets start filling again the next time you start productions on the Super Facility

Hi Jkmyer,
Yes there is. If you look at the Neighbor bar at the bottom of your game. Each neighbor that is on will have a green dot in their block. Also you can sort the Neighbor bar by Online Status which will move all the ones on line to the front of the list.

Super Facilities
 

This Super Facility is great, but it blows your buying for the day. If you try to be helpful to someone, you lose the ability to buy anything you might need. The buying limits were incorporated without any of this in mind!

Thanks for the update!

Thank you, Taz. I will keep that in mind as it never occurred to me I would need to sell those before midnight last night.

Hi Grumpdad :)

The developers have fixed the problem with the missing quests, please check if yours is back.
