    Besides the FF disaster..I am missing my GOLD MINE!!!..I had gold processing due today..anybody find it shoved in some small corner somewhere?..I've looked on all 3 farms with no luck..someone said something about it being by the horses but I don't see it..
    The gold mine IS on the horse ranch, Contrary.  It's just in front of the big rock in the center of the screen. Kinda blends in to the background. ;)

    it is on the Horse ranch, you'll have to scroll up from the horses to see it
  • I put a lot of effort in designing my flower farm nicely - now it is completely ruined. I don't like that new long rectangle shape of it at all ! What was wrong with the old square layout that you had to change it  ???
    Total mess on the flower farm - responding slowly with all those items in the temp storage, so it took me an hour to do all the necessary clicking to put the buildings back on the farm. Of course had to store some decos in the process - now they are gone and to be found nowhere ... Placing items back on the farm especially hard because the temp storage for buildings + the storage for decos that opens below cover almost half of the screen and farm.

    Having to switch to yet another place to train horses, race and use mine is a major pain - there had already been far too many clicks to do and now it is even more ... it was much more convenient with the stables next to the farms.

    All in all, total disaster, mess and even more wasting of players' time and efforts. I don't like it all at all - taking a break from the game for a few days. Not so sure if more plots is a cool thing - really already a ton of clicks needed to harvest and start production .... do I want more buildings and more clicks ? No, I don't!

    yes how can GGs justify taking land from flower farm and throwing decos into inventory 

    i mean how low can you go ?

    All that land was very expensive 
    Come on wake up or get some realistic ideas and staff with some positive ideas 
    You can't take what's been paid for or can you ?
    This has got too stop

    Can someone help please. Half of my flower farm is in inventory and half of my plots it looks like I am going to have to but again, unfortunately I can't do anything because I don't have room to put my stuff from the inventory. Is anyone else having the same problems.
  • so pissed that I didn't make it through the Asian event. You all took down the game for quite awhile this morning and never added any time to that event. I had rice growing so I could collect cranes. I have stuffed violets in all afternoon from work trying to get enough and was down to only about 30 cranes left to collect and was even feeding the violets gold to do it but the timer ran out and I lost it. I hadn't gone for the 77 happiness dragon before because I don't have time to spend all day at this game (some of us work!) but I took a chance this time cause I knew I would be around during last weekend and could attempt it. I got screwed!!

    It's on the ghastly new horse farm (horses like green rolling hills), but it's hard to see against the dark, dark brown of the dessert.  In the middle above the horses -- near the big rocks.

    Wish they would lighten the dark brown ground -- lots of stuff doesn't show up very well against it.
  • I've lost everything I had in store on the Viking island - completely cleaned out of everything Thanks a bunch.
    me to,...nothing left, no food, no dump,...

    yes we all have.  They removed land from the Flower Farm and added the land at the left side of the new rectangular shape farm.  All  that land they want us to buy has to be given back to the players because is not new land.  Is land they took from us to changed the shape of the flower farm
  • All goodies from the Viking's farm disapeared from the storage. All players have no food for penguins, no linen. All players have nothing in the Vikings farm. It is a great robbery :(
  • The new update has wiped all current yields on the Viking event farm.  Please can someone fix this.
    I too lost everything on the viking farm.

    Let's not be fooled by the introduction of new plots and another upgrade level to all buildings. It is clear that the idea behind this, is certainly not to please any of us but to create the cravings for more, encouraging players to purchase more gold as the price for everything is insanely high (and I'm in the supposed bracket of players of level 150+).
    The more, the merrier? Nope, in this case less is more.
    Way to bring the last blow to a game which is dying because of not so subtle greediness.
  • Really upset, because now I lost the reward for the Asia Event.  Give everyone the hours from the time you put the new and improved (not) farms up today, until the time the event ended, back to us to finish the event.

    Really ticked because now it is costing me a lot of money for production on the flower farm, because I went from a lot of happiness points to negative happiness points.  Where did all my decos go?  They are not in the box!!!

    We paid a lot of gold and money to get the farm to what it was, and now it is less than 1/2 of what it was.

    Where do you guys get off taking away our money and time, that we have already invested.  It was OUR MONEY & TIME and YOU DO NOT have the right to do this, and if you do then I need to find another game to play.

    1.  The graphics are pretty.  If only the game was 1/10th as good as the graphics.  But good graphics in no way compensate for a messed-up game.

    Pingo speaks truth.  The graphics do set BigFarm apart, but they're worthless without good game play.  Developers, please take note of that when you set your priorities.

    Okay I finally managed to get out of layout mode, took a couple of hours but I was able to get those items that were sitting in storage back on flower farm. Doesn't look the way I had it for the last 2 weeks since I just rearranged it but for now it will do. Not moving anything till the hot fix tomorrow as I a not sure what else will happen or where my items will end up.

    Flower Farm
    Now for some of these additional upgrade levels: why oh why oh why would you do that....really? Oh my goodness to upgrade my flower shop to the final level which is level 10 is................................ 172:48 hours which is about 7 days and $170,000,000. This is beyond crazy for the amount of money and time for this last stage which I know is a choice/option.......that I got. But why does it cost the amount to do 3 temp farms? By the way I hate (yes its a strong word) the flower farm layout as of now. Land prices here as well are just crazy, in fact all of the prices to buy land is ridiculous. We should be given an 85% discount on purchasing the land (thought that would make us laugh, no way we will get that kind of a discount) and a discount for uncovering it.

    Gourmet Farm
    Bakery to go to level 9...............58:30 that's 2 1/2 days about and $50,000,000.

    We have asked for additional land for years but we didn't think that it would be so expensive and it would be so messy.


    EDIT*****(Need to add something so I needed to edit my post)

    I am not liking having the customers for the organic market on all farms asking for different items. That is way to much and it will be kind of hard if you are trying (when you do see them coming up the path) to catch them for the discount.

    Oh and why did my organic market start over again?

    Ohhh....the horizons/backgrounds that was pretty much a waste of time, money and gold. Cause the horizon aren't even showing up on all 3 farms now.
  • Flowerfarm can't do anything there...and can't go back to the mainfarm from here must first log out off the game and than in...I think you doesn't want us to do that everytime and I can't empty the fields and trees...to bad. When will you repair it. Some in our coop are thinking about to quit....I think first you must play with it...but yes all farms must works that is now not happen....
  • Hey Guys,

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


    jeg måtte selv plasere alle mine dekorationer på min blomsterfarm og har mistet rigtig meget på min vinterfarm det er jeg meget utulfreds med 
  • contrary (US1)contrary (US1) US1 Posts: 122
    To: Farmerjohn & MRG..Thanks for the answers. Prior to update horse ranch showed on my MF. I never did the horses and now it does not show up. Just noticed horse ranch tab on what I call the navigation tabs (upper right of screen). Clicked on horse and what do you know..there was my mine with gold waiting...yeehaw..
  • ,In my cooperative because of the many flower farms are thinking about leaving the game. I am among them. All the decorations that I lined up because there was no place to get them back where they were, they're gone. Gone are the products with the Viking farm ... This happened even members of my group. Give us back our flower farms as they were and return products Viking farm

    The worst thing is that EVERYTHING people are complaining about here on the live farm was complained about on the Test Server - but the developers apparently just ignored all our comments.

    Now, it's true that the Viking Farm screw up couldn't have been predicted.  And the Flower Farm rearrangement problem probably should have been predicted, but it wasn't obvious.  So the developers can be forgiven for those - especially if they make it right for everybody.

    But all the stuff that people don't like here, they also didn't like on the Test Server.  The developers COULD have fixed all these things before inflicting them on the Live farms.

    We tried to help you out, BigFarm, but you refused to pay attention.
    Very few people like things new it take us out of our comfort zone I can live with going to the FF to access the ship,  different people at stalls  ect not a really big deal changing dimensions on my FF  was a big deal to me but guess i will get use to it eventually. Time is an issue only in CC  for those who still play and everything you need is on MF so I dont really understand why everyone should be kicking up dust.

    Mine too...so frustrated! In addition, not having the Asia event extended...I only needed less than 500 cranes to finish. :-(

    I am afraid that
    the player who play Live account & Test Server with one browser
    to switch the server with logout & login
    cannot logout from Test Server.
    So can not play in Live account

    If you clear your browser caches, it will fix it for you. Everything will reset back to normal login screen, choose your server and login - there you go! :)

    Btw, Where is ship? Did anyone spotted harbor yet?  
    When you go the 'Flower' farm, it's there, or on the map right beside it.

    I put everything in storage on flower farm, couldn't put everything back. Had spent millions with Greta getting that farm very much to my liking and ticking over nicely . 20+ months of earning money ,gone in a flash. Farm running at a loss now. Decorations I bought and spent millions extra on where for a different  shape farm. Also my vikings shivering ,the coats + everything else gone. GGS should compensate for this huge mess

    As I said before: shame on you SSG. The only way to fix it is put the previous version back and rethink it all over by listining to the feedback we have given you. And the idea of give us more land is perfect  but not for these prices. It looks like an ordinairy plan to let us buy more gold. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

  • So is there any word on what's going to happen with the Viking Farm and all of the missing products?  This is pretty crazy.  :-(

    Mrs. White from what was posted in the Official Announcement by CuddleyFox:

    "Hey guys,

    There will be a hotfix tomorrow to fix the missing decos from the flower farm and products from the Viking farm."

    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/133430/update-sept-20th-from-test-to-reality#latest
  • I'm glad someone posted that there will be a fix for the missing decos from Flower Farm like I experienced a little while ago! It took a long time to acquire/place those decos to reach a -92% production cost. What will they do about the 10% drop in happiness that is costing me extra $ in the meantime, I wonder?
  • so here's a thought...since this messed up everyone's farms and you didn't extend the Asian event nor are you probably going to extend the horse event or the Viking farm, wouldn't it have made sense just to shut down the entire game until you fixed the Viking farm and the flower farm cause now anything we have done is probably a waste of time cause you are probably just go to roll it back so all our work today is for nothing. 

    I don't usually let this game upset me when you all do changes like this but today I'm upset. 

    Oh and I see no way to "rotate" or "move" items that are on my farm..the little orange x and yellow rotation buttons are now gone.

    Hi, Darnchts, you'll find the rotate and move buttons when you click on the upgrade button.  Took me forever to find them.

    I was all set to call "Epic Fail" on this when I first logged in. My Flower Farm was stuck and I couldn't access the ship because of it. All my "stuff" on the Viking farm was gone. I've got the Flower Farm and ship situated now, and I assume you are all working on repairing the missing goods on the Viking Farms, since that seems to be affecting everyone. So I'll let those two issues go for the moment.

    However. There are two other issues that I think are NOT improvements over the old arrangement. I think it was a mistake to move the Produce button to the spot that is reserved for the Finish button. I think that will cause more pain and anguish in the long run. Also, now you can't see how much feed you have for the stables unless it is not currently producing, which means you have to go into the inventory screens to see what you need to produce in order to plan ahead. MUCH more time required. Also, it isn't as easy to tell which feed you are using. I have a hard time telling which feed it is just by the picture, as they are quite similar sometimes. I supposed I will get used to that in time, but the produce/finish superimposure I think is a problem.

    The second issue that I think was not an improvement, was to move each "global" item onto a specific farm. It is too hard now to tell when things are finished, and much more time and effort is required to access them, especially since you now have to check them manually to see if they are done.
