New Features

• new game beginning: new players will start from scratch on a new farm, with land patches similar to Bellflower Meadow. They will have the “pleasure” of meeting Lance, Frank’s knucklehead cousin, for a little while. The total land will be identical, and the total price in coins is the same as for existing players. As a token of our appreciation for you, such long time players of the game, you will too get all the shiny new stuff: a Hatchback with a broken oil pan, an old Camper, a shoddy Rain Shelter, and a pile of maple logs. Where to put them? See below. Also, be sure to check our Fan Page for more details, and where a cool (and VERY useful) gift also awaits you inside the post text, as a Coupon Code you can claim from inside the game. And, don’t forget to LIKE and SHARE if you like the new buildings, Joe’s Energy naps, and for more gifts!
• NEW FEATURE: Joe can regenerate 40% of his baseline Energy while sleeping in the Camper or Rain Shelter, and another 40% while sleeping on any bed from the Log Cabin. Resets daily. He doesn’t sleep in your Farmhouse, as that’s your home, and he’s only a guest there.
• 2 new land plots for your farm, available to buy only if you bought all other areas: Sunrise Ledge and Ridgeview Trail, with the prices being very expensive and extremely very expensive, respectively, and they don’t increase the Max Limits with anything. You don’t really need these, but if you need a little extra space and already rolling in coins, they might prove useful. For players without Max Limits, these expansions work just like Yards (you can’t place crops or shrubs on them).
• the Stone Path in Bellflower Meadow can now be rearranged, and some sections can be added to Warehouse. So, if you removed the big rocks and are annoyed by the path’s wavy pattern, you can make it any shape you like, but the path’s gotta be there. We got a letter from the Woodburn Town Hall, and they said people visiting Bellflower Meadow gotta stay hydrated. We know, it wasn’t even working in the beginning, and YOU were the one who repaired that fountain. Bureaucracy…
• Joe can now cut the 4 Poplars near the Stone Path from Bellflower Meadow, that sit in front of your land there. But, since they’re kind of protected, it will be extremely difficult, as they require 9 Tree Permits each.
• new sound engine for your Farm, Factories and Water Sawmill: no more invisible dogs barking. You will hear the sounds of all things centered on your game window. If you zoom in on your chickens, you will hear plenty of chickens. If you zoom out, all sounds on your farm will whisper far below, and you will only hear the soothing sound of the high altitude winds. We think it is much better, and you should give it a try if you play with sounds off. No music needed, just ambient the sounds and sound effects.
• added water ripple effects for all areas – now all areas with a river or a lake have water ripples that move faster in the areas where the river flows faster, and in any direction on the lakes.
• added waterfall animations in Bellflower Meadow, along with animations for the Willow Tree.
• the bottom right river shore on your farm has now more contrast and plants on the lower side of the river, to avoid confusion when Joe says he can’t go through there.
• now you can view your Neighbors Herbs Garden plants when you visit them.
• Neighbor Key is now also showing in your Farmer Profile tab, where you can also copy it from.
• improved Max Capacity description when distributing points for farm limits.
• improved Foraging Spree on all areas: now all the foraging plants and flowers appear much faster (they sound like making popcorn), and with a new growing effect.
• updated Beatrice’s farm (old Bees farm).
• added a general toggle for transparency of tall objects that includes both Trees and Gear. You can still toggle transparency separately for them.
• new way of showing that you have News, with a red circle above the menu, so you can read it at your own convenience.
