Thanks to Raul and the developers for all their hard work.

I thank you too Raul and devs.

I agree - I would love to see a school, church, a gift shop, and a grocery store (these would not be facilities). I too am developing my third farm into a town and park, and would like to continue on that course, placing the facilities on a fourth farm.

Thanks for all you do!

Wow... what a nice surprise!! I woke up this morning and there are all kinds of new things!!! I would liked to have seen a small coffee shop but I'm sure that will come eventually.

As for giving it as a gift, that's a great idea! When family members ask me what I want for a birthday or whatever, I can ask them to buy me a facility! I have everything else I need in real life so this is great for both of us.

I don't mind spending a few dollars here and there to buy a facility. What does it cost for ONE night out at the movies? If you have a soda and some popcorn, and you live in my area, you spend a good $25 for just one night of entertainment. Look at how much fun you have with FT and at not nearly the cost!! These games aren't free to make - someone has to pay the developers and programmers, etc. and if we don't spend some money now and then, the program will not be upgraded. Like all of us, we like to reap the rewards for our hard work.

They did a bang-up job on this game. I can complete most store-bought games in a few hours and those cost me $19.99 at Best buy. Compare that to the many hours you can play here for free. It's still cheap even if you do add a bit of FC. This is just on-going fun at its best!!!

Thanks to the developers/programmers and crew!!! Well done!

I just re-read this. I could never ask a neighbor to spend their real $ to send me a farm cash item!!!

These are all very nice additions to Farm Town but how about fixing the problem so many farmers are having in not being able to work in other farmers' facilities? Thanks.

The olive trees are on the gift page. Ask your neighbors to send you some.

I have two comments on the latest updates...

The facilities take up a great deal of space, plus we now need more trees to "feed" them with. I had great plans on designs for my second farms and was going to use #3 for crops but now I need all the space for crops. As a result I have all of the facilities jammed together on one farm so I have easy access and so my workers don't skip any of them. Some of the new buildings should have been a whole lot smaller, like the size of the bakery.

Another issue I have is that there is no real incentive to take the time and effort to feed the facilities. I'm sure before long I'll become bored with them because the coins continue to mount VERY quickly and there is nothing for us higher level players to do with them. At both of mine I think I have in excess of 50 million coins. Please give us some high buck items to spend them on so we have the incentive to continue using facilities.

i have looked in the gift section for olive oil and cannot see any.i have good neighbours who always gift(maybe because i always do)but there is a limit to how many we can send which isnt fair...im short on neighbours to get my third farm,but dont know anyone.is there anywhere to look?i want proper neighbours.please do not send me messages via the envelope on ft as i do not answer these.as even though they are good peeps some are constantly sending these rogue msgs.

Plantains are related to bananas. So I am assuming that you need banana trees.

Im Loving the new Facilities But sadly I can not afford to spend real money on a game so I therefore cant get them all. Please dont make this go like so many other Apps MONEY HUNGRY.......
Other than that small problem I am loving the game thanks
