- new features!
– sort your seeds in the Shop by how many you have in the Barn, in ascending order. This way, you can easily plant what crops you’re low on, right after clicking on an empty plot. Click on the Shop and choose Quantity in Barn from the bottom left subfiltering menu. This subfiltering resets each time you click on a plot, because Quantity in Barn also includes shrubs, etc. (seeds not plantable on plots). If you want to keep this subfiltering selected, open the Shop from the menu bar, instead of clicking on the plots.
– sort your seeds alphabetically, from the same subfiltering menu. For the time you want to plant a certain crop, but don’t know where it is in the Shop.We’ve added lots of plants lately and we will add more, so this feature started to become necessary.

new Farm Chat system, with 2 channels: Help and Barn (top right in the chat window, next to the chat window title to select a channel). Some players wrote us they’re afraid to ask questions related to the game on the chat, and we firmly want everybody to feel included and helped. Feel free to ask any question related to the game on the Help channel without fear, because if anybody bullies you for doing so will be banned. Of course, this feature is not to be abused, by asking 50 questions at a time just to flood the chat, for example. We also understand that the chat is a somewhat important place for some players as a way to socialize, therefore we added another channel, called Barn. We also can’t help to contemplate why Facebook removed their chat feature a few years ago.
– the Help channel – we will STRICTLY reinforce politeness, helpful attitude and farm-related topics, delete all offending messages, and enforce long bans for the offending party on this channel.
– The Barn channel – will be reserved for various topics related to the game, but not so strictly enforced. We will also ban on this channel for offensive language, delete the offending messages, etc.
– for both channels, upon (first time or repeated, depending on the situation) affirmative complaint ticket resolution (e.g. message to us or us reading the relevant chat logs), the… ahem, … Plaintiff shall have the Defendant’s future messages on the Farm Chat automatically muted, and the other way around (depending on the situation), for a variable amount of time, or permanent.We very much prefer to work on the upcoming content and features for the game, rather than police the chat, so we kindly ask to please be polite and mindful to others.
- even though the game is not made or optimized for mobile devices, quite a few players somehow manage to play the game on tablets, which usually have limited gpu memory, so we have have improved the game textures to use lower memory and to better load the game in this case.
