The Great Farm Update Date: May 24!

[bawpotter]

Well, it's almost here! The Great Farm Update Date! It is almost Memorial Day, so get your grills fired up to celebrate the unoffical beginning of summer! TL isn't adding summer-related content JUST yet, but I suspect we will be seeing it soon. This week, the new teasers are from DW. Welcome the Marjoram to your Farm soon!

While the soil is being tended to, let's talk about our hopes.

1. More Goals!
2. Coin Content!
3. New Gifts!

In the mean time, let's all get ready for The Great Update Date!

Nice but crop harvest pop up should go away. How many posts does this take?

[ThorVII]

Herbs herbs the magical... um....plant

[WendingWanderer]

Basil is good.

Let's hope it grows quickly.

[koala23farm]

let me guess, 16 hrs, 1xp

[Snapenath]

let me guess, 16 hrs, 1xp

This is a good guess....

Although we'd prefer a 3 or 6 hour one...

[bbieprnc]

How about Goals for Android? Do we know if they are on horizon?

Me too, I just guess TL would us that

You will not hear about Android or goals in the same sentence from tl any time soon.

[navymom2010]

I agree with the farmer below. Also I having problems today of my farm freezing up. I was wondering if anyone else is having the problem?

[pinkster73]

Got the pop up. Limited time offer is a sand cat. There's a new Mediterranean chest.

[pinkster73]

Box items:

Fish stand
Cheetah cub
Royal palace

[acciochocolate]

A 3 hour crop!!!

My farm was also appearing glitchy today, but seems okay now. The grass was brown and flickering black, etc.

[bbieprnc]

What is in the chest? BTW the pool - sorry but it's ugly.

[MiniLaura]

I certainly hope the aquaculture pond is NOT TeamLava's answers to our constant requests for water tiles.

[pinkster73]

Treasure chest

Agreed -- but that said, I really like the aquaculture ponds and I will be pleased if TL released them to tide us over until smart water tiles can be completed. A girl can dream :p

I also love my sand cat, and am excited to plant some 3-hour marjoram this evening :)

[Classic70]

Not only is it lovely, it's a 3 hour crop as well! Delighted!!

[yanochka]

so, what's in the chest??? :D

[pinkster73]

so, what's in the chest??? :D

Ha ha nice.

[yanochka]

I had enough gems left for one box - and of course I got the treasure chest :D

[jeanietpa]

Welcome to my farm to check whats in the Chest, but I still missed 1prize ��

[Classic70]

A nice crop AND finally a lovely cat for my farm (even if strictly speaking it's a desert cat). I'm happy!

[gabo84]

i visited your farm.. its amazing.. I'm farmer hell btw :)

[gabo84]

farmer hella.. . was referring to jeanie

[MrsPamB]

There's a picture of the palace on the TL Facebook page. My Photobucket isn't working, maybe someone else can post it?

It's really nice, but too much of a gamble; I will have to live vicariously through one of you braver souls ��

[yanochka]

From Jeanie's farm

[driftboutique]

Ooh, I like the barn and the cheetah cub. I really want the palace though... I might have to go for it.

Is that gazelle-ish-thing in the box too? Or is that from a past update that I glossed over?

[yanochka]

Gazelle is from the box as well (I am pretty sure about it).

Jeanie - do you remember what were the second and third prizes?

This is my guess - please correct me if I am wrong:

1st: Imperial Palace
2nd: Mediterranean Barn, Cheetah Cub
3rd: Fish Stand, Gazelle
4th: Treasure Chest, Rocking Chair, Lion Statue, Exotic Vase

[pinkster73]

Before all these issues that happened and have not been addressed this thread would have been 10 pages long by now.

[shakiba]

I never knew you can sell fish from farms.. O_O

[pinkster73]

Ya the fish stand is kind of out of place.

[MamaMini]

I actually wouldn't mind the fish stand. Set it up near a pond with the fruit stand and some trees and it might look cute, but for everything else being offered in that chest, it wouldn't be worth trying for.

[viviansmo]

oh, I might have to go for the gazelle. it'll be good company for the moose and the buck. plus my daughter's name is Ryma which means "white gazelle". dang it... well, 6 gems away from having enough to try, although I have very bad luck with 3rd place prizes it seems. :p

[DerGelbeKaiser]

True.
It's actually a nice update. A nice short time crop, a cat (overpriced as usual), a new box (albeit one with eyewateringly aweful 4th prices. I wont be going near it) and a water feature for coins. Not bad.
The mediterranean theme is a bit odd but kind of fun. With mule, cow, date trees and the tent I still have in storage I'm one baby jesus short of a nativity scene :-D

[lin77]

The box items are ugly & tacky! No thanks!

[WendingWanderer]

Grab a food trough and a make and female gnome. Mary hasn't given birth quite yet. (It's still Christmas Eve) :-D

[jeanietpa]

Sorry I didnt remember the number of Prizes. I kept pressing to find the 1st till im out of gems. Some od the items in this Box are not match to each other. For me, it's the Fish stand and Exotic Vase. Fish stand fit to Market story n the Vase will be nice at Home story or so :eek: too much animals by the way... Thanks for passing by, I accepted all, but there will have ppl come to take picture for Forum, not accept more friends, del me if you dont want to be on my list.

[WendingWanderer]

They're selling an aquaculture farm (fish farm, 2x 2 squares) for $50,000 (coins!), so the fish stand makes sense.

Oh, that thing is growing fish in it?

[bobbyrae]

Apparently that would be why it's an aquaculture pond :p

[pinkster73]

Never heard of it. I'll have to Google it.

[pinkster73]

Ah. Aquaculture pond - fancy for fish pond.

[cltucker0]

Ah. Aquaculture pond - fancy for fish pond.
Uh, until I read this I thought it was a pond for my animals to drink out of which is why I put it with all my animals. Oopsie!
I thought it was for my agriculture to drink from.. :)

[yanochka]

Sibel's Palace

Actually, for me, it's going to be both - fish pond AND livestock water.

The fish can share.

See bobbyrae? I'm not the only one who didn't know what an aquaculture pond was. Now, back to my "agricultural haven".

[bobbyrae]

Lol...it is just a fancy word for a fish pond. :)

That castle sure is fancy...is that morse code in the swimming pool out in front of it?:confused:

[MiniLaura]

Looks more like Braille to me.

[Snapenath]

They look like meds capsules... :D

[RoseMeyer]

the water thing looks like somoebody was fixing the window on the tool shed and set it on the ground while they went to get the putty knife.

Does anybody here read braille or morse code? :p what's the secret message in that pool? :p

[bobbyrae]

Grrrrrrr.....forgot to click off the multiple quotes...:mad:

[pinkster73]

It says pinkster.

[yanochka]

It's fertilizer :D

[viviansmo]

I thought it said "buy gems" in the pool in front of the palace... you know, subliminal messaging and all... although maybe yanochka's right.

[pinkster73]

No I'm sure it says pinkster.

[yanochka]

Can someone provide stats for the new animals from the boxes so I can update special animals charts?

I am looking for coins/time for cheetah cub, gazelle, sand cat and also lion cub.

Thanks!

[WendingWanderer]

Sand cat - 55 coins, 22 hours
