New Release -- December 3rd, 2010

Hi Farmers,

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

1. Holiday Items: Most of them in coins. There are 5 new holiday animals on the gift section. There is also a Snow Cover on the Holiday section in the store that covers the entire farm with snow.

2. Plow Tool Improvement: The plow tool now works similar to when you are hired for plow, if you are on top of a harvested or gone to waste field, you will see only the highlighted fields. You will only see the red or green cursor when you are over grass.

3. Blue (coins) and Orange (FC) Bulldozers: Allows you to delete 3x3 or 4x4 fields at a time. All Bulldozers have been updated so you can also delete single items, not just fields, without switching to the yellow dozer.

4.Gift Certificates: There are 3 Gift Cards (55, 120 and 250 FC) on the Holiday Section that you can send as gift to your neighbours.

5.Separate Work-Hire/Sell-Trade Markets: There is now an additional Marketplace that people can use when they are not interested in hiring/working and just want to sell and trade products with other users. You can still do all operations on both markets, but with the option of explicitly indicating your intention, the chances of accomplishing your goals should increase.

6.Item Storage Improvements: There is a new tool on the extended tool bar ('Add to Item Storage', above the hand) that will allow faster transfers to the item storage. Also, when you are moving items from the item storage to your farms, if you have more than one in storage, you can continue placing the same item and they will be removed from storage automatically.

7.Rubber Tree: Allows you to harvest the Latex from the tree.

8.Metal Mill: Allows you to produce Copper and Stainless Steel Sheets to build Cookware and Toys. You can extract the Iron, Copper and Chromite ores in the Mineral Mine.

9.Cookware Factory: Allows you to make cookware. You can produce Plastic Granules on the Petrochemical Plant:

Bamboo Utensil Set
Copper Sauce Pot
Silver Cutlery Set
Rubber Gloves
Copper Frying Pan
Tea Kettle
Knife Set

10.Rubber Factory: Allows you to create Rubber Sheets from the Latex, that you can later on use to make toys and other future products. You need the turpentine as the solvent which you can produce on the Petrochemical Plant.

11.Toy Factory: Allows you to make toys. You can produce Plastic Granules on the Petrochemical Plant:

Flying Disc
Rubber Duckie
Ballons
Teddy Bear
Rocking Horse
Scooter
Doll
Skateboard

More holidays items coming next week and more animals coming on next release.

Enjoy!

Thanks
