Yes, there have been Saturday updates. As for late afternoon, I have been anticipating the release and waiting to plant just in case so I looked at some of the older releases and they are all time stamped. Many of them were around 7:00 pm but there were also others around 5ish and even a few at 12 or 1 am. I am central time so not sure what time zone those times are for. So basically, it is whenever they want lol

Yes, in my earlier post, when I posted the dates when the farms were released. I stated that farms 2 and 3 were released on a Saturday. All other updates after farm 3's release was on a weekday (mostly Friday's).

Well it's the weekend and we need that new farm. The game is really quite boring when there's nothing new coming out.

you must get bored easily because updates come pretty often compared to when the game first came out. the developers also do a great job giving us a great update each time (bravo devs) i dont mind if it takes alittle longer get an update for levels and land im pretty sure the coding for both is allot harder/more work then then adding a tractor to the game so keep that in mind. things dont just magicily appear over night in the game

First of all, I can't even begin to imagine how you could be bored!!! I spend so much time working on my farms every day, I don't have time for a real life!!! Perhaps you need to buy some facilities. The only way FT was boring was when it was "plow, plant, harvest, sell, repeat!" And it's been at least a year since that was the style.

I will admit, there was a time when I was ridiculously impatient for a new farm -- I think it was #5 -- because Raul had said it was comming, and I didn't realize this was a new approach -- letting us know we could expect a new farm sometime in the fairly near future. Well, I've learned that patience with the devs is a really great thing. We are getting so much new stuff so fast -- really cool stuff -- that I need the time between releases just to decide what I want and how I plan to use it.

That said, let me repeat what I posted a week or so ago in another thread:
The last 4 farms have been released on Friday. The intervals between their releases were 7 weeks, 9 weeks, and 8 weeks. Working from November 12, that means #8 could be released December 31 (Oops! Missed that one!) January 7 (looking very dicey) or January 14 (an early Valentine's present.) I'm betting on January 21! The Devs need a break to catch up and make sure they've got it right.

You couldn't have said it any better! I have 7 full farms, and I'm playing this game constantly...no way anyone could be bored.
