New Release -- June 18th, 2010

[JAS0643]

I was just looking at the coffee grinder and I think the amounts for the batch and units are off. You need 4 coffees to make a batch of coffee that produces 4 units of coffee. Okay here is the break down on cost and everything.

Coffee fields with plowing figured in.

4 coffee 170x4=680
1 batch of ground coffee sells for 780 coins
1 unit of ground coffee sells for 195 coins

That gives me a profit of 100 coins per batch or 25 coins per field of coffee.

That would make coffee the only product that you would make less per field by turning the harvest into a product then if you sold the harvest.

Even wheat, corn, and sugar cane that is turned into flour, corn flour, and sugar makes a good profit if sold and not turned into another product. With Coffee if you don't turn it into ice cream you lose a lot of money on it.

Can mod please ask the developers about this.

I thought the same as you when I first saw this, but it is just a mistake in the help tab. If you look to see how much coffee you have in storage, then go and click to do one batch of coffee, then go back and check your storage, it only takes 1 not 4. It had me worried as well and that is what I did to find out exactly how much is taken. Hope this helps

warning on moving things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

barns are facilities too and u cannot move any facility into storage with product in them or u lose product. U need to empty barns of animals and move each into storage and then remove from storage in reverse on the farm u want them on.

I put my sheep and llamas in the wool shed and I had over 50 in there and the building only shows 3. Also I cannot get more then 23-25 animals in the other building.

I agree I have spent real cash to buy factories, well worth it, but we definetely need more farms to keep us going, hope they will keep adding them. I love the new FT where is the place for Farm Town withdrawels.....so addictive....

[sunryse]

I LOVE THESE CHANGES!! Farmtown is my new favorite Facebook game (again).

Only one thing that cracks me up... On the ? button for the Seafood Restaurant and here too, you have added an "S" to Shrimp.

Shrimp is the usage for singular and plural. I keep expecting to see 'fishes' or 'gooses', LOL

[Charo]

Oh, one other thing... THANK YOU for using realistic looking buildings and no fairy tale coloring-book architecture.
