Theme Suggestions for Farm Story 8/24

[kooky panda]

Okay lets change up the suggestion thread from items to themes.

Please give me some themes you would like to see added to Farm Story.

[MiniLaura]

Cat Heaven: cat toys, cat trees, catnip, and cats in the store for purchase without having to buy gems to get a "free" gift.

[myweedpatch]

Id like to see themed Surprise boxes with just " like items " in it so I know what I'm gambling for...

Boxes/baskets could be all houses or all animals or all fantasy or all realistic farm gear/decorations/ etc or all camping items or all fancy trees or all water features or all halloween items...etc... You get the idea.

[yanochka]

Fairy Tale theme - need a palace, princess and prince for my unicorn :-) royal fountain, royal carriage, cobblestone roads, etc.

[yanochka]

Seasonal themes - winter, spring, summer, fall (not holiday items) - for example snow patches and snow-covered trees for winter..

Ooh, I like this!

[sissy8]

i don t like themes but i go for theme birdies:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[xokay]

Not really a theme, but I'd love to see a Magic Box offered for coins every once in a while. Like maybe a 2 week promotion or something.

This is a great idea!

I think it should stay with FARM based themes. Seasons, holidays and the like if done right would be a good idea. Castles, palace, princess, prince, unicorns, royal fountain, royal carriage, cobblestone roads and the like belong in a different story. I am sure that I am alone in this thought. As I have said before, 'One person's option and not worth much'

[DRL23411]

Reality, those that like the castles, use them and those that don't, don't use them. Why make it difficult on those that like that stuff.

[DRL23411]

Expansions have each level available for coins or gems. Why can't more of the gem type purchases be made available for coins? I, personally, will probably NOT buy any gems. At least at this point I won't but deeper in the game things could change. I DID try to buy gems once but none of the screens allowing access ever appeared. It was just too difficult to gain access to spend money.

I agree :) I personally want my far to look more "real", so more options/ themes that could help with that would be nice for me ( and maby a few others). I know many people will disagree with me and thats fine I'm not trying to knock their opinions, this is just my preference.

You're not alone. I also would prefer more farming based themes. Keep the holiday & seasons themes but in a farm style. Perhaps 2 or 3 different themes could be offered at the same time. This would create more diversity throughout players' plot designs as well as allow a player to further express their individual personality.

I don't think anyone need apologise for wanting their farm on FS to look like ... well, a farm.

Where does all this meteor, bicycle, dungeons and dragons stuff on farms come from ? Was there a detective theme at one point - presumably Dept of Agriculture officials digging up potatoes to check that they are proper seed, lol. As to themes, we have plenty already - the ones that farmers deal with in the real anyway - Spring, Summer, Harvest, Winter. But farmers play too and so we get Halloween, Xmas, Holidays and so forth. It's plenty without having to pop round to the medieval outfitters for a suit of chain mail to wear to put your brassicas in the bottom field :)

I really like realistic myself. And items don't have to take up an entire square either. For example, those bamboo potted plants and the red wagon would have been better in a quarter and half square, respectively. TL has got to work on proportion and sticking with the same artist so it's consistent.
I want boxes like i mentio ed earlier (see list above) so that I know what I'm going for when I spend my gems. No giant surprises or major disappointments.

[myweedpatch]

An old bicycle with a basket would be seen on a farm. I like the old trashy farm look. A hillbilly approach can be more realistic!

Would love to have a pitchfork, shovel, hoe, rake to lean against my shed or hay bale etc...

Fine, that's an item but, it's suggested as a theme - that is, a series ranging presumably from a dirt track to a repair shop.

[hectorloch]

Nuclear ! That's the clear way to go now. Top prize, a Fast Breeder Reactor Station. Then we need Disposal Tankers, Danger Marked Waste Drums, Decontamination Units and so forth. Definitely a winner on any farm, I'd say.

[OnaraSan]

right, why's the cats in RS and not FS???

[hectorloch]

But we should remember history too ..... so, um, er ... yes, Coal Mining Theme !

[Hawaiianmomma]

Lol God Bless You Mr.H

[LanokaHarbor]

Well, the pirate theme is going over so well..., isn't it?

How about something more related to farming....
John Deere theme!

[localyocal2]

I would like log cabins ,beavers ,racoons ,new tree like spruce or even a maple tree ,Kim tree how about a true river you can build around your farm

[pinkster73]

A FARM theme! That would be so cool!

[pinkster73]

Maybe a Japanese Zen theme, with ponds, rock gardens, those sand thingees you rake, waterfalls, temples. You know what I mean?

[LuceX]

I kind of like this one! I could see a whole apocalyptic farm theme!

[myweedpatch]

I don't know. It maybe a stretch to wish for something so obvious. 

I'd be happy if they can fix the scale on some of the old items and pay attention to any new ones coming out.

PS: I'm running out of room on my farm to put everything... 24 x 24 isn't ***na hold it all...

How about ability to buy a neighboring farm and play it on the same device! Just think of all the stuff you can buy. All them gems to be spent on fixing up a new farm!

[kooky panda]

An army theme would have been awesome, although I'll go for water now.

MAKE AN ARMY THEME PLEASE! <3

Kettenkrad sounds interesting. Come to the theme suggestion thread and give some examples of things you would like to see in the army theme.

Other than that could be bunkers, barbed wire, depots, outposts and so on, bet you got alot of imagionation!

Other things I'd love to see in the game is: Road pattern, river pattern, more cats, more characters like humans, more vehicles and more small objects like the mailbox and so on.

Best regards!

[Hawaiianmomma]

The fantasy homestead is very lovely.....built for medieval fans of all sorts...

Our Gnomeo and Juliets fit quite nicely.......
Maybe also a forested mountain range and a sword in the stone
A whole theme wrapped around Arthurian Legends.....
Complete with a whole new cast of little people
Percivale
Merlin
Nimue
Guenevere
Arthur of course
Taliesin
Gareth & Lyones
Lancelot
The lovely Lady of the Lake
Gwyn ab Nudd
Cauldron of Annwn
Cernunnos
A Firedrake
Lleu

I wouldn't mind seeing this spin on my farm it fits nicely around it....thank you for sharing honey....wonderful ideas you have there
