One set looks like a good approximation of a real world building, the other set looks like a cartoon or coloring book scenery. The pizza factory and bakery are good, but the design of the newer buildings is increasingly garish, especially that snack factory.

I couldn't agree more! I keep thinking Roger Rabbit is going to jump out from behind one of the new buildings! All one has to do is a side by side comparison of our original buildings with these new ones to see that we're starting to look VERY cartoonish. Not a good direction for Farm Town to take, in my opinion!

What happened to the graphic artists? Were they fired and replaced by children???

Thanks for all the new stuff.
Not sure if this is a silly question but where does one get cocoa to make chocolate? Is it a gift or what? Can't find it as a crop or as a tree.
Because of lots of glitches I have not played since right before Christmas.

You use the cocoa trees with the chocolate factory to make chocolate. The trees are gifts, so get your neighbors to send them to you.

UGH I'm out of room for more facilities. Farm #4 please!

I love FT and have happily paid occasionally for FarmCash to buy/upgrade additional farms and things to go on them but I have to agree with the comments other people have made... the factories and facilities are too cartoon like for my taste so just won't buy them. As one of the more 'traditionalist' farmers I would like to see things like a church, school etc to extend my farm into a village. Oh yes, and a 4th farm would be just wonderful please.

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!

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.

Thanks FarmTown for saving my Sanity , special Thanxs to the Developers

I sooo agree with you. Initially, I wouldn't spend any real money but then I thought about how much time I spend here and when you figure out how much enjoyment we get and what other entertainment costs are... it's really inexpensive to spend a $20 bill here and there to get what we really want. Besides, it's a way of saying thank you to the developers. This IS a business for them, not a hobby.
