Farm Town Weekly Says Farewell

Farm Town Weekly Says Farewell

Greetings! We very much enjoyed spending another Monday evening among friends with whom we might never have met if not for this remarkable game and their willingness to support community outside the isometric arena of Farm Town.

The primary focus of this episode was to discuss the most recent update which roundly delivered new levels, crops, items and features. It was a very nice evening spent talking over these topics with friends, but ended quite somberly as I had to announce that there will be no more new episodes of Farm Town Weekly being recorded on Monday evenings.

We did intend to deliver a fourth season however due to circumstances and events unseen in our forecast, we will be unable to do so at least not at the present time. Please listen for more details and thank you all so very much for your support over the last 12 months.

May 21st Farm Town Update

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

By now you have probably already seen the posts to your Facebook wall where your friends have bought everything from an Oil Refinery to a Taco Restaurant. Those clever little possums at Slashkey even added a small and large Sea Coast to enhance the fishing feature added in the previous recent update. Here is a copy of the post Raul made to the official forum where he announced the details of the new version.

Hey there, We just released a new version with the following features:

1. Small Sea Coast (coins): Allows you to catch Haddock, Dolfin, Swordfish, Mackerel, Eel and Crab

2. Big Sea Coast (32 FC): Allows you to catch Cod, Grouper, Swordfish, Mackerel, Eel, Yellowtail, Tuna, Crab and Lobster

3. Oil Pump Tool (coins): Allows you to produce Crude Oil

4. Oil Reinery (32 FC): Allows you to produce fuel out of the Crude Oil to be used in your harvesters and seeders. You can store the Fuel Tanks in your storage. When you go to the Fuel Station to refuel, it will take not only the fuel tanks you have received as gifts from friends, but also all stored Fuel Tanks in your storage produced by the Oil Refinery. Both counters are displayed on the same line, ‘Fuel Tanks’, in the Fuel Station.

5. Taco Restaurant (coins): Produces different Taco products like Hard and Soft Tacos, Chicken Quesadillas and Burritos. You can get the Chicken or Meat as gifts from friends or Order them from the Semi-Trailer Truck.

6. You can now harvest your flowers. You can also hire people in the market to harvest your flowers: Flower prices have been slightly adjusted to accomodate this change. It functions like the trees, when you harvest a flower you get the coins and it’s restored to it’s original stage.

7. The current Flower Shop is now a facility (25 FC): Allows you to produces different flower buckets from the harveted flowers.

8. The frequency of the Mayor asking for gifts on the game has been reduced considerably, you should not see it more than 1 or 2 times per day.

9. The Semi-Trailer truck now deliver 3 times more Hotdog Sausages in the same period of time.

10. There was an annoying error when people were harvesting for others. If the farm where they were working had some Hens moving, the message ‘do you want to use this option for the remaining of this session….” was popping randomly, this have been fixed.

[Update: Taco Restaurant now rotates] Enjoy! Thanks –Raul

Farm Town Weekly Season II Episode 12

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Farm Town Weekly Season II Episode 12This is the last episode of 2009 and Oh Boy did we have technical issues at TalkShoe. Thanks to all of you that stuck with us and seen the show to the end. I do want to mention that on this episode we welcomed April Hinkle, Bill Hamilton, and Roger Haffner to a chair on our honorary Farm Town Weekly Board of Directors and congratulate them each here once again.

We also talked about the “Farm Town Classifieds – Help Wanted Ad” post that can be made from our website and asked folks to give it a try this week. A brief discussion about the current poll on our website and if there is still a need for a “Fire” button. In addition, an array of Facebook topics was discussed from privacy changes to pending changes to profile layouts. Fan pages versus application profile pages and how to disconnect from a group. In spite of the technical troubles with TalkShoe, it was certainly a great evening thanks to having neighbors on with us to share in the conversation.

New Holiday Items Storm Into Farm Town

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Snow in Farm Town

It Snowed! That’s right, you can now gift and even buy patches of snow for your Farm Town farm. You can also buy a snow covered tree and lots of Christmas Holiday items. Just check the gift page to see all the new Christmas items that are now available to decorate your farm and send to your friends and neighbors over the weekend.

There are plenty of other winter wonderland and holiday items for sell in the Farm Store for both coin and Farm Cash. A couple interesting items to note is they added an ice skating ring along with the patches of snow, both of which were suggested in the Farm Town Weekly fan page discussion area. Hmmm, maybe they ARE listening to us afterall.

Happy Farming and be sure and join us Monday to share the fun you have over the weekend with your new seasonal items and Christmas decor.

New Version of Farm Town Supports Second Farms

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Slashkey announced today that they have released a new version of Farm Town. The main feature included in this update is the ability for farmers to purchase a second farm.

To maintain stability across their servers, the developers have released this update to only about half the Farm Town farmers and will be monitoring server load while steadily releasing it to the rest of the Farm Town population. According to the official forum at Slashkey, all farmers should have the ability to buy a second farm within the next couple days.

Christmas Holiday Items Coming Next Week!

The new holiday items are on their way and should be available sometime next week according to the official announcement in the Farm Town “Slashkey” Forum. Between the addition of second farms and new holiday items, we should have a lot to chat and talk about on the next few episodes of Farm Town Weekly.

Note: New members will be seated on our Honorary Board of Directors on Monday so please come and help us celebrate these special friends of Farm Town Weekly.
