Flowers and Balls!
Hi! Today’s update brings a whole new category of items, the Flowers. They are delicate long-term crops that benefit from regular care.
We’ve also added new decorations, the most important ones being the Soccer Ball and the Beach Ball that you can kick around the farm. Their position is synchronized over the net so you can actually play some games with them!
New features
- New item category: Flowers, with Poppies, Roses and Daisies
- Completely removed Poppy and Rose from the Plants category. Any Poppy or Rose planted before this update will be converted to Broccoli. They will also be removed from any quest in progress, and the quest will be recreated if it’s no longer valid.
- New items:
- Soccer Ball and Beach Ball (synchronized position). These items have a limitation on how many of them can be placed on a single farm to avoid network saturation.
- Low grass Road: This allows you to place the same grass used in buildings and decorations, and avoid accidental placement of items on them. This road will not grant the speed boost.
- Vegetable Truck: High level, improved version of the Vegetable Cart.
- New decorations: Sundial, Pottery Wheel
- New animals: Arabian Horse
- New crops: Cherokee Purple Tomato, Red Pine Mushroom
- New languages: Polish and Danish
- New country flags: Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon
Improvements
- Limited the maximum number of points of interest that can be placed to 20.
- You can now flip a fence on its place when Moving it.
- Quest Log: The number of currently placed/planted items of that kind is shown.
- Disabled Fences collision while placing them (now they perform the same as buildings)
- Improved some hair colors’ looks.
- Slightly increase color saturation (was lowered in a previous updated).
Gameplay changes
- Reduced some daily wait times (Quest discard, Honeycombs) from 24h to 23h to prevent the leap-day effect.
- Crops now have only a 50% chance of withering after a week (otherwise they’ll remain able to be harvested forever).
Bugfixes
- Prevented farm from trying to simulate negative time offsets upon loading.
- Farms previously loaded with negative time offsets should now work properly again (seasons should start advancing again).
- Fixed Easter Bunny Hat unlock message showing an Id instead of text.
- Fixed Point of Interest numbers not being shown on Very Low Quality.
- Should retroactively fix some Easter items that weren’t properly unlocked at the time.
- Fixed crops water level incorrectly maxing on specific situations when loading a game .
- Should have fixed a number of crashes related to out-of-memory.
