With the growing importance of Starred plants (for who feels like doing this feature) and at your suggestions, we took a few days to expedite Joe planting and harvesting in Bellflower Meadow. You rightfully pointed out that since you moved some of your crops, Joe should harvest there too. Features:
   – for Seeding, you use: 1 Seeding Template for your farm, and 1 Seeding Template for Bellflower Meadow.
   – you use only 1 Harvesting Template for both your farm and Bellflower Meadow.
   – Joe harvests both places using 40 Energy (same amount as he used before to harvest only your farm).
   – multiple harvests in the other place do not accumulate. Example: if you harvest with Joe on your farm for the second time without going to Bellflower Meadow with Joe to harvest, a popup will appear to remind you that you have 1 unused Harvest there, and ask you what you want to do – discard that Harvest and create another one, or cancel. So, it’s best to use Joe to harvest both places, since it’s ‘free’ anyway.
   – Harvest crops first option is now saved, so you don’t have to check it every time.
   – if Joe stops the plan because there is no capacity in the Old Shack, you can make room in the Shack and then click on the plans button to resume the plan until it’s finished.
   – there is a produce estimation for the plan (some trees give variable amounts), and it doesn’t include starred plants. This is useful so you know how at a glance if you have free space inside the Old Shack.

Happy farming! 🙂

At your suggestions, here’s a Coupon Code for 20 Harvesting Templates: E3F7W5R

You can claim it by going to XP Bar > Stats & Skills > Vouchers and typing it in the input field at the bottom center of the popup.

Happy farming! 🙂

• new feature! There’s now a better way to sell Silver and Gold crops, fruits and flowers: put them in 2 new Big Crates and send them to the Mayor! Be sure to check our Fan Page for more on this story, and where a cool (and extremely useful) gift also awaits you in our first comment to our last post. And, don’t forget to LIKE and SHARE if you like the new Big Silver and Gold Quality Crates, and for more gifts!
  – there are 2 Big Crates, one for your Silver plants, and the other for the Gold ones.
  – you need to put 2 of each plant. Examples: the Big Silver Crate requires 2 Silver Apples, 2 Silver Carrots, etc.; the Big Gold Crate requires 2 Gold Apples, 2 Gold Carrots, etc.
  – there is also a Leaderboard, that shows the top 100 players who shipped most Big Crates in the game. If 2 players shipped the same amount of crates, the player at the higher level will show higher in the Leaderboards, because there are more plants unlocked at that level.
  – each shipped Big Crate counts as 5 Orders, in Competitions and daily counters.
  – the crates also award a percentage bonus of the total value in coins. The coins are collected when the Truck gets back from the Town Hall, NOT when you place the starred plants inside the Big Crates. To see the current value of the plants inside the Big Crates, hover over the Send button (the Truck). The price includes the percentage bonus. Each plant added will reward you 5 XP, collected when you collect the Coins.
  – the 2 new quests related to the Big Crates and dialogues appear at level 40, even if you completed the required quests for them to appear, and studied the silver and gold starred plants botanical plates at an earlier level. The second quest appears after you complete the first one. First quest also rewards 1x Energy Bar 20, second rewards 2 x Energy Bar 20.

We hope you will find selling some of your starred plants easier and fun (especially if you have a few of each), compared with selling them with the Train, and we hope you like this new feature.

Happy farming! 🙂

• new features and changes related to the Market Stand. Please keep in mind that the Market Stand, as all features after we launch them, is in Beta, and we might tweak it, based on how it is used and your feedback.
  – reduced the limit from 30 to 20 daily Market Crates.
  – to compensate, there is now a new type of crate, the Blue Market Crate. Through them, you can request the items you need, put the money in the crate, then wait 20 hours (a CLM day) for somebody to get the money and give you the goods. If not, you’ll get the coins back. Since you can ask for precisely what you need, it is considered of a higher value than searching through people’s ads and stands for what you need. Just don’t expect Peacock Feathers. 🙂 Honey, yes, there’s plenty of that on the Market.
  – the ads for the Blue Market Crates appear in the Newspaper with a blue stripe background for the price, instead of the green one.
  – the 20 daily Market Crates are divided into 15 normal Crates and 5 Blue Crates. We might tweak this too in the future.
  – you can now also help a Neighbor requesting a blue crate, beside the usual action limit of 1 per Neighbor. Cumulative actions are tallied in first column in the cream top bar above the Market popup.
  – now, each crate you sell will also give a few OPs. OP reward increases the more crates you have, up to the maximum of 10 crates. As with anything related to the Market, we might remove this feature, but, for now, it rewards you OP.
  – added new sounds, improved a few animations – the Market Stand UI is now much more polished, and we hope it’s fun for you to use.
  – you can turn on and off the Newspaper ready notification from Settings.
• engine update that allowed GREAT video memory optimizations, especially for older computers with not so much video memory that could feel slower and even get occasional  crashes (about 1-3% of players, from our logs). But all players with all but the more powerful computers should feel the game run constantly good after long periods of play, we hope. Especially when going from place to place (visiting Neighbors, Bellflower Meadow, Factories). We kept updating the game gradually during the last few weeks with these optimizations, and we’ll keep updating in the following weeks.
• new, better way of sorting by quantity for Seeds, that does not reset when you click on Crops: there is now a checkmark in the subfiltering menu next to the dropdown list, that when checked, sorts everything by quantity from low to high (except alphabetically).

Market is here! Be sure to check our Fan Page for more details, and where a cool (and extremely useful) gift also awaits you in our first comment to our last post. And, don’t forget to LIKE and SHARE if you like the new Market Stand and Newspaper, and for more gifts!

• new Achievement: Crate Commander

Guide available here: https://clm.beetree.games/help/general-gameplay/market-stand/

We initially estimated this feature to take no more than 1-2 weeks to develop, but it took a month and a half (among other features we’re working on). Initially it was supposed to be a static Market Stand (just a picture), but we couldn’t decide on a final look, so naturally we made the most customizable thing in the game ever. When you visit your Neighbors, there’s a big chance no two stands will be alike.

Happy farming! 🙂

• 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.

• game performance improvements:
  – optimized the assets loading procedure so the game download size is smaller. If you have low internet speed, this should shave a few seconds from the loading time.
  – optimized how the assets load into your video card memory. This, depending on your farm configuration, should make the game run faster.
• redesigned the Bees, so the color and look for their homes (the ol’ skeps) are more accurate to how they look in real life (they’re made from dried grass rope).
• fixed a bug where you had the Bees on Automation in Bellflower Meadow or background Automation on your farm turned on, and it returned an error while returning from visiting Neighbors.
• now you can move the Halloween Picnic Blankets from your farm to Bellflower Meadow.

• you can now make the Appetizers Collection for the Special Order. We upgraded several things, added info tooltips both in the Collections tab and on the Appetizer recipe, so it’s as easy for you as possible to keep track of them. Also, we have an article about it here: https://clm.beetree.games/help/general-gameplay/animal-appetizers-set/.
• now the Flowers subfiltering in Shop > Seeds takes into account shrubs and potted plants that are also flowers, so you can easily see all your flowers in the Shop.
• we received many messages asking about the Cow Shades. To answer them all, depending on the Deal you purchased that didn’t contain the Cow Shades, you will see 1 or 2 new Deals, with the exact difference in both price and items, between the Deal you purchased and the ones with the Cow Shades. Also, because we removed the Carving Templates from the appetizer recipes, you will get instead of Carving Templates the equivalent amount of Salt and Pepper. The Deal appears only if you won the Ostrich, because the Ostrich is required for the Quest and Special Order with the Silver Omelette.
• more items in the Shop, for all players: Rooster, Chicken Coop, Tulips.
• various bug fixes related to the Event and other optimizations (Gear Manager popup).

• the Ostrich can be claimed, for the winners of the Event.
  – the Ostrich makes an Ostrich Egg in about 10 hours, and requires various foods, just like the Turkey.
  – you can also give her a name.
  – you can make 2 things with an Ostrich Egg: the Omelette, and an intricate Ostrich Egg Carving, in your Craft Shack.
• for players who purchased the Cow Shades, there is a new quest and a new appreciative letter from Jerry, for the Special Order requiring a Silver Starred Ostrich Omelette. This order comes every 24 hours. Also, this Silver recipe looks fancier.
• Barn management enhancements and improved Shop filtering and clarity:
  – Barn: in the All category, you will find a Seasonal & Collection subfiltering (bottom left bar), so you can easily find all your special recipes from all events (if you haven’t sold them).
  – Shop: removed the Buildings category, as it wasn’t clear what they do, and added a Production category.
  – Shop: decorative buildings such as houses are moved to the Decorations tab, under the new Homes & Buildings subfiltering.
  – Shop: added more subfiltering options, so you can find Decorations more easily: Themes and Seasonal.
• new graphics for Eggs, Milk, Butter, Bacon.
• bug fixes:
  – fixed Peacock/Turkey food bubble flickering.

We will remove the Easter stuff & Mushroom House in a day or two, put back the levels for crops, gear and produce, and add further refinements – Ostrich chasing Joe, making the appetizers collection again, etc.
