    Have the game at full screen, toogle off the browser menu (F11), and it now looks like a proper store bought game!

    Any indication what and when the first new thing will become available?

    BTW, did everyone notice the environment remains no matter which of the 3 farms you are on?

    The first thing will (probably) be the airport, one of the biggest features. No guarantees though :D

    And yeah, for now the background won't change when switching, but that might change later on ^^

    Well, the new paddock in the upper left of the Farm area looks like it would be pretty fun for horses to jump around in, later on..

    ;)

    Can you say roughly what the airport is for? Is it tied to an event for instance

    I can not say, I'm sorry :) It's totally top secret. It may or may not have anything to do with new events, maybe even special farms you can or can not visit. Not saying anything here.

    I think that the specialist level deco should be worth more that 78 HP compared to normal event deco worth 74 HP.
    4 HP to complete much harder event is only a small reward, should be at least 20 hp more!

    new look is great. I wonder if harbour will have multiple options such as touristic guides, fishing trips, trading.

    Everything looks great except the new decorations with 78 happiness.. Whats the point of wasting your time with way harder event just for extra 4 happiness? I dont get it

    I hope this is some kind of mistake

    Nope, not a mistake, sorry. :(

    These new decos are supposed to be prestigious objects to show you managed to succeed in the challenge to finish each event in the hardest difficulty setting rather than a go-to deco everybody needs to and is able to get.

    The new difficulty level is supposed to be all about the challenge, really.

    Additionally, we of course had to make sure happiness levels will not go through the roof after you finished the new difficulty level more than once. Reaching these -100% is supposed was always supposed to be a little challenge and we intend to keep it that way. ;)

    Regards,
    Steffi

    Yes importing spices from farms in warmer climes to enhance the dishes in the gourmet restaurant would be good. Could trade some other stock too like excess pigs

    If the new difficulty level is all about the challenge would be great to see that choosing to play the Farm Speciallist event players wouldn't have the option to skip tasks with gold so this way would really be a challenge equal to all players that want to do it and not only for the ones that choose to zoom by it with gold skipping..

    Hey wappie,

    your friend has unlocked a new deco in the deco-tower!

    This lock is a new notification to show you that you may click on that new deco in the tower to remove the black layer and look at it in all its beauty. :)

    Regards,

    The new environment looks amazing! I really like how none of the new areas are steering too much attention away from the farm itself but that there's something else to look at now and the whole 'world' just looks much more lively and vibrant!

    Awesome job, can't wait to see what all of these areas are for! \^-^/

    I love the new farm environment!!!

    I have a question about the events though. Would it be possible for us to try the event twice if we finish early? Say we complete the new difficulty level and have a couple of days left could we try the event again for a smaller version of the deco? I don't have any of the smaller event decos & I would like to get at least one of each but if it means passing on a higher happiness deco I probably wouldn't do it.

    There we were on a little farm out in the country and suddenly we are surrounded by things.
    The sea has arrived as well! I know their has been a lot of flooding around here (England), but I did not think it would affect the game.
    It's like industrialisation has taken over. Shouldn't some of these things be by the village rather than by the farm?

    Nope, you can finish it only once per event and you'll have to wait for next time after you finished.

    As I said, if you want to do it as soon as the event pops up the next time, the only way to unlock the hardest level will be to have the deco unlocked in the deco tower (we have no other way of checking if you actually finished the event on the current hardest difficulty level before as no such data was stored before).

    Well at least now I understand why that stupid ugly tower has to be there. You must have had a plan from the get go.

    Ok, I can see that now. From a programers standpoint. But still, the sky scraper has no place anywhere near a farm. Couldn't that have been given more of a country store feel? Accomplish the same thing?

    I have a question:
    When a new event comes, will it be in same location? it is so crowded right now i might just miss it LOL.

    Monica- I was thinking the same thing earlier, but I got side track with posting other stuff. I'm glad that you posted this question. I just went back to my farm again to look to see what/where/how much space would be allowed for the events & Monty or any of the others that visit. Sure hope that there is enough for Steve to park that big van, if not he may have to downgrade to a smart car/van. Um not sure what he would do with his other tools though.

    Monica- I guess we have our answer. I just saw Orphanage drive & Monica at the top of the farm. I suspected that either that spot or the one by the book store would be the spot where the events would show up. Good timing.

    LOL yep i see it too. I think the spaces in the grass might be mashed down a bit, so they probably will go to same location. Gosh so crowded ;(
