Well, we're finally back, having missed a week of being able to do anything with our farms. Will you be doing anything to reward your loyal players for having wait out this mess? Or are you thinking we'll just forget this whole mess?

So glad to be back! Thank you so much.

welcome back everyone thanks to all who work to get us bk up and running

just do one containeer

So happy the game is back up. I took a long layoff from the game and recently came back. This break affected me way differently than that layoff did. It actually gave me anxiety! lol Thanks to the developers for getting us going again. Hoping another update comes soon but this must have been a big setback so I will do my best to be patient. Happy farming all!

I'm so glad you're back! Thank you for all your hard work. :)

PS When is the Halloween stuff coming out? I'm ready to decorate my Halloween Town!

Thank you for your time and patience on getting our game back up. While we were down I went searching for another farm game where I could do what I do here, there is no other game. Again thank you.

Just wanted to say Thank You to all the Devs who worked so hard to get this straightened out. So glad to be back on. Your hard work and patience is well appreciated. Thanls again.

thanks I am glad to be back. Thanks to the Moderators for dealing well with what must have been a stressful situation.

Thanks
 

Not sure if this is the place to put this but I would like to thank you all for all you did getting FarmTown back up and running you all did a great job. Only game I play and I love it. it is such a good game Lorraine aka Wild Farmer

When will a much delayed new release be available?

Hi rockcandymountain :)

Im sorry but we dont have that information as the developers dont tell us in advance.

slashkey and farmtown are a great community hope to see you for a long time. not many games have this level of support and dedication to their community.

Suggestion
 

Hi,

I'm playing another game that left Facebook several years ago. Before they left, we had plenty of notice and a transition period where we could play it on Facebook or on the platform independent of Facebook. The link to the game is embedded in our game forum which still resides on Facebook. It has been that way for several years. That forum and many of it's existing players are still active on Facebook. Many of us still on Facebook use the link on the forum to access the game years after the game left Facebook.

I'm sure you could set up a standalone Farm Town platform numerous ways, but if you want to keep your existing players that are on Facebook, please consider maintaining a link to the new platform on the existing FB Farm Town page if the game is going to another platform. That way we aren't dependent on maintaining all of our email addresses to get to the game. Rather just one link to the game would need to be maintained.

Hi Parrot Mom,
If you want to make a suggestion, please post it in the Suggestions section where we arrange those by subject for the developers to see. You can not start a thread there but you can reply to a thread that fits your suggestion.

The purpose of providing your email address is to allow the development of a website for playing Farm Town to be used only if Facebook forces them to move from there.

Some small problems...
 

1) First, thank you devs for getting your game to run under unity. Porting it from flash was no small task and we're all grateful you decided to port it instead of abandoning it like many other developers.

and with the carrot comes the stick. Small stick, but a stick...

2) Clicks, which this game does by the boatload, can get extremely laggy. I know, I know. This is just kind of a general comment. But when I can click faster than the game responds by hand then we got problems. I can click on a field three or four times before the system moves the square and does something like plant. This isn't good.

3) The navigation map with the one square per farm thing sometimes refuses to shrink back down. I'll click around they thing trying to get it to go away and it will just sit there taking up screen space. The only thing that seems to fix this is to navigate somewhere then hope the thing goes away.

4) In coop quests the very first time I click "show neighbors coop quests" the upper left box in the coop quest grid always has a highlight. My first thought is "Oh, they've got something I need!" Then it's, "Oh that stupid bug again." This is super easy to reproduce.

5) Again on coop quests, when moving the mouse around in the neighbors coop quest grid you can inevitably get whatever the mouse was last on to stay highlighted when the mouse moves off the coop quest grid. I can understand if the mouse flys out of the playfield entirely that it stays highlighted but it's still on the playfield and keeps the thing highlighted, especially if it's just on the scrollbar.

6) There is basically no way to hide trains. I somehow got a few fields stuck under my trains and I have no way to hide the train to clear that silly field out. With what it took to get all my trains crammed together like I have, I'm not moving them anywhere.

7) With all the awesome tools there is an abundance of workers and not enough work. You need to come up with something like a treadmill in the job market so we can click on something. Like four clicks an xp or something while we're waiting to get work.

8) Zombies in the market. I've started waiting for people to move or talk in market before hiring anyone because I've hired so many zombies in market.

9) Zombies in my farm. After visiting market, zombies will pop up in my farm when I go back. The first few times this happened I was thinking someone was stalking me or something. Since it happens so often I finally figured out it was just a glitch.

Again, these are small annoyances and not serious bugs. Just add these to the "real soon now" bug list.

Good job in general, and using the farm pass as a revenue generator is a great idea. I personally love it (until I get an impossible task, LOL!).

Farm Pass
 

I have 601 points and so have completed Farm Pass for this season (month). I have already made the suggestion so I am saying it again here....there needs to be more to farm pass. I have already completed it on the 17th of the month and that is with a ten day "vacation" because FB shut us down. There needs to be more!

Does Facebook own Farm Town?
 

sayso, I wondered because when I by something it is a pain to pay it now. They also say this is Facebook, not Farm Town. I think I will stop baying if the Facebood guy will get all of it. I'm just wondering.

Hi Sayso,
Facebook does not own Farm Town. Facebook handles all the transactions for all the games when you buy the ingame purchases like Farm Town's farm cash. Slashkay owns Farm Town and they get paid the amount you pay for the farm cash minus a fee for processing the transaction.

Warning about storage and neighbors
 

Just a warning to all.... if you need/use large amounts of storage do not remove deadbeat neighbors!!

I went through and cleaned up my neighbor list... BIG MISTAKE!

I now am way over my storage limit because I lost a ton of spaces PLUS since I have the added purchased storage that doubles the spaces that have even made it worse! I had like 3500 spaces and now only have 1460!!

That is one of the problems with having played for a long time... so many drop out and unless you want to add a ton of random people to your facebook you can't keep enough active players/neighbors.

So do NOT remove them unless you want to add a bunch of randoms to your FB!! Sucks!

You might want to check the following thread link for other players looking for neighbors:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=391198

Thank you! I will see. I just hate adding a bunch of random people I don't know to FB.

Back when FB started and all these games first started it was easy to have plenty of neighbors that you knew from your own FB or close referrals. I think that is one of the biggest issues I find with games I have played for years. It is hard to keep up with the high demand for neighbors by the game... unless you want to add a bunch of strangers... ugh!!!

The other issue is as for me I have my FB pretty locked down. In order to get and accept new friends I have to go change my setting and unlock my FB opening it up to other weirdos!! It just seems like there would be a safer way to deal with that for games.

Hi ImTznU,
The only thing you have to unlock is to allow them to send you Facebook friend requests and messages. After you have added those who you want then you can lock those back down.

Going Away from Facebook
 

Eventually I know that you'll move away from facebook and we have our emails at the top of farmtown so you can email us when it goes ahead etc.

What about anyone who has a new facebook and haven't played farm town before...how would they get into the game? Unless that will be in the email you give us too?

Hi Alexandra J,
All the information about it will be available if or when the move happens.

Watering all flowers on all farms
 

I think its about time that allowing farmers to just water a neighbor, friend or anyone elses flowers was stopped. Now that the Farm Pass requires us to water using the Watering Can its not nice to find someone has visited and you cannot water the flowers you need unless you have them on a farm marked Private. Asking that flowers not be watered doesn't seem to work as some people just ignore that and go ahead regardless. Maybe give that option in the Hiring process in Preferences for those who want their flowers watered.

Hi Aussie Rae,
If you want to make a suggestion please post it in the Suggestions section where we organized those by subject for the developers to see and not the General Feedback section.
