Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes:

2. 3 Winter Paths: Ice Path, Gray Ice Path, Snow Path and Shoe Prints in Snow, all in the winter category.

3. 5 Animals: Penguin, Panda, Polar Bear, Seal and White Tiger.

4. New Levels: 50 items all in coins.

5. 40 x 40 Farm Expansions for farms 21 - 24: 30 FarmCash OR 20,000,000,000 coins

6. Search feature in the Harvest and Item Storage: There is a Search icon in those windows to quickly find items, similar to the Search in the Facility Manager.

7. Log Truck with Chainsaw 16 x 12: If you already own the Log Truck 12 x 12 then you can buy this new Log Truck to harvest up to 192 trees at once.

8. Multi Planters can now be used for plants in your gift box: Just open your Gift Box and click the Multi button on flowers or trees.

9. Ingredient Planner Improvements: Ingredient Planner in the Facility Manager now shows Service Facilities information as well. You now have the option to select specific Service Facilities in the filter.

Also, when All Facilities is selected in the Ingredient Planner filter, the results will include ingredient numbers for all the facilities in the current view of the Facility Manager, which may include Regular Facilities, Service Facilities or both.

10. Red and Orange Gift Packers: Cut even more the waiting time to send another gift to a friend. If you own the Red one the waiting time will be 3 hours. If you also own the Orange one the waiting time will be 2 hours.

11. 'Store All' Improvements: Some hardcode users with lot of facilities were experiencing errors while doing a Store All operation, this should now be corrected.
