    On some un-bought plots of land there are two ugly orange trees that look dead.  One location stayed the same, while the other one moved.  I bought plots of land based on where these dead trees are to clear them out.  And now the design of farm is totally messed up with that ugly dead tree smack dab in the middle of my carefully designed shape of farm

    And that is just the minor issued compared to my flower farm. Where I bought very expensive plots of land at very specific locations to have a uniquely interesting fence line. And now the shape of the farm is absolutely beyond repair.  Big farm just died today for me, there is no reason for me to continue playing this game as I will have to start completely over from scratch and then have no guarantee that my creation won't get vandalized again in a future update.
  • Nothing seems to be working.  Cannot navigate from the flower farm to other farms and nothing fits anymore, also lots of goods missing everywhere. The Viking farm is become a nightmare.  I can't play the game like this, You might be trying to improve the game but you have messed up big time!!! I give up.

    I do not mean to sound nasty here but nothing on the test farm worked right and people let you know so why did you do this? ARE YOU TRYING TO DRIVE US AWAY?
    GGS' motto: If it ain't broke,  don't fix it  tweak it till breaks.

    I have lost every thing on the vikinfarm and so on,,,, and so i have too start over.... again..
  • Is not a mess, is a beautiful big job and it needs some fixing here and there.  If you have been working with computer programs you should know by now that it takes few  tweaking here and there.  But the job is beautiful and the graphics are great and beautiful.  This is an improve and lots more to do for us who have been playing from almost day one and didn't have much more to do.  Take it easy and relax.!  I am sure help is coming
  • I hate it!! The flower farm is a mess!! Change it back!!!
  • what are the village dollars used for?  AND HOW DO I GET THEM?

    Somehow you've managed to break the game entirely.  My organic market has reverted to the most basic status from the most upgraded.

    The Viking farm is not even worth doing any more as you've wiped out nearly my entire inventory of produced items (Viking tunic, Viking tankards, etc.) and all the penguin feed, so progress for this chapter is completely stalled.

    The flower farm layout is a mess and cannot be worked with at all.

    Thanks for nothing, but I have no desire to wade through this mess and wait another few months for non-response from support.

    Well I would like to know what happened to the test server  Cuddly Fox said it would be here permanently  and I had people saying to me what dont you understand permanent is a time frame so I believed this yada yada and here today I cant find it of course just won two gold licence for the first time and it is all gone. Much like all my inventory on viking farm.  I am furious  I feel like I have been duped by cuddly fox and believed the long time players here that she was the official word.  What is going on
    It'll be back in a few weeks, Damaria. They've taken it down to focus on the Live Farms for now, to make sure the patch is running smoothly, and to fix any bugs that pop up (like the Viking Farm one).  They said they would put the Test Farm back up in October, and it'll be just as we left it.. So not much we can do except wait for now. :)

    goodgame studios is purposely vandalizing people's creations to entice more gold purchases to fix all of the problems they created.  goodgame studios has repeatedly shown throughout the years they do not care about the community.  there were huge layoffs in the company a few weeks ago in other games, and now it is time for big farm employees to get the axe and this company to go bankrupt once and for all

    Missing items on the Viking farm & missing decos on the Flower farm:
    We have been assured that these items are not lost, just not visible & a hotfix will be run to restore them all. We do not know if that will be today or tomorrow. Sorry :(

    EDIT: The Hotfix will be run tomorrow.
    Sorry but this is entirely useless unless you compensate and extend the Viking farm by at least 2 days.  People have lost progress and time and will now be far behind thanks to the technological incompetence of GGS.

    Somehow my Viking Farm has been opened. I never intended to open the darn thing. NOT part of my temporary farm plan. YES I have a temporary farm plan. Those of us who do not have mega millions in disposable farm dollars yet sometimes opt to play only chosen temporary farms. Please close it & put things back the way they were. I feel like I am not the master of my farm anymore. Good grief......

  • I think I should take a break for a week and come back later to see what my farm looks like.
  • Has anyone else had the Viking Farm open automatically since the update?  I had chosen not to do this temp farm and now the boat is just going to be sat there  :(
    YES!  And I'm not happy about it.  I don't want to run the temp farms.  I've read that to do the Viking farm it can run upwards of 80M if you go the whole way.  I'm not big enough yet to run a temp farm and I do not want my ship to sit for 6 hours when I can send it out in 2 minutes.

    Hey Guys,

    What do you think of the new update? .... You can discuss it here :)


    Love many of the updates, still getting used to many others. I have noticed that my Viking Farm is missing several products and all of the flax I spent the last day producing. I assume that missing "stuff" will be fixed shortly?
  • I lost 95% of the deco's on my GF only have about 5 of the lowest count ones available  how do I get them back

    I put all my decos on the flower farm to rearrange it with the new layout and now they have disappeared from my storage. Any one else have this problem?
  • I like the new format it was nice on the test server and it's nice here.  I got one problem.  What the devil did ya'll do to my flower farm??????  I come on during lunch break to do some farming and I discover that your new format has put all my stuff in storage. Nothing that was there fits on the farm I left last night where everything fit.   I can't leave it without at least placing some of the buildings and to top it all off I have -83 in happiness points.  You people need to get your act together cause it sure as the devil isn't working at this point in time.  FIX THIS Sierra Hotel India Tango NOW!!!!

    Having played on the test server I was already used to the changes.  What I didn't anticipate was losing my entire inventory on the Viking Farm, it's zeroed out.  Will this inventory be returned?
  • I, too, am missing high-level decorations on my flower farm. Thank you for having a plan in place to fix that, but I'm really not looking forward to having to rearrange...again...

    I love the new "rings" - no more accidentally clicking on normal pig feed when I wanted speedy! - but dislike being unable to see how much feed/fertilizer I have in storage when the "building" is in use. Could this be changed back please?

    Most other changes will likely just take some getting used to, but one that I very much dislike is needing to constantly jump between farms to catch the "neighbors" who will buy products. That is VERY inconvenient, and downright annoying! Makes me not want to even bother. Please change this feature back to all buyers being able to be seen from all farms.

    Looking forward to seeing the final product, if and when all glitches are fixed. Hopefully sooner than later... :)
  • All my stuff from the viking farm is gone! Change it back! hate the new format!

    Ok there are some things that need fixing. But in general VERY BIG THUMBS UP FOR GGS.

    We have a lot of new things to discover. I like to know what we can build on the horsefarm. A Racetrack for our horses so we can see how we loose or win a race. Thank you GGS for the new things. 

    And i am sure in a few days it will running better then it does now :):):)

    Afterall New York and Dallas are not build in 1 day
  • Not amused, not amused at all. The test farm was there for a reason, to find bugs which then will be fixed. As far as I am aware not all bugs were fixed so far so I'm not quite sure why our real farms are being thrown into the trial.
    And especially at a time when a temporary farm is on. Why not wait until there are no events/temporary farms so things will start smoothly?
    As the viking farm has been completely wiped, I would hope that by tomorrow this game will be reset to the state before the fix/broke. 
    Thank you very much

    One question, what does the red exclamation point on the World Map indicate?
  • You haven't lost anything!!!! They have changed the shape of some farms and they removed the decorations and sent them to the Inventory box to be able to re-do the shape of the farms.  This is a great job.  and will be beautiful when it is finished.  You just have to relax !!!
