The Farmers' Market - permanent new feature

Update: Kitchen and Windmill Boosts

Confirmed that it is a coin deduction and the price is to clear the flag off our farms. The team has changed it from 500 coins to 1 coin instead. Sorry for the confusion.

Updates
1. We are now able to buy more hickory trees without restarting the game
2. Kitchen and Windmill boosts strength have increased - the crafting times are reduced to 50% instead of previous 20%.

Please update your Farm 2 app to version 2.5 for this Farmers Market feature.
The Spin to Win is now available in the game. :) See Spin To Win (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?92767-Spin-To-Win-July-7-2016) thread for discussion.

The Unsung Heroes - Special dedication

Dedicating this Hall of Valour to our unsung heroes amongst the community! Despite the challenges of The Farmers' Market feature and against all odds of not getting any gold cowbells, they bravely persisted on their journey to get their gold cowbell! Let's cheer them on. Good luck guys, keep going and dont give up. :D

Hall of Valour

blubingo - 70+ trucks

[noemata]

Yeah...looks like another hot air balloon where 6 items are requested per truck in exchange for 'cowbells' (bronze, silver and gold). The first truck delivery seems to be the same for everyone then the 'orders' change from the second delivery onwards...truck returns every 4 hours. Once you have collected enough "bells" then you can 'exchange' them at the cowbell exchange.
Enjoy everyone...

[bakerystoe]

UHm when does the Spin to wheel start! And how the smokehouse works? don't understand much about it. I feel so greatful because this is such a exclusive update that I really love!:)

[theotty]

I am excited to see new features for the Game!! Thanks for sharing the info!

[fml999]

New items in the market! I take it hickory trees are for the smoker? Looks very interesting. Will this be a permanent feature? Really hope so. I like the idea of buying with bells ����

[justmine2]

Can android do this?

[Niire]

Oh man, I am really hoping this is for droid too...it looks amazing!

[bss0226]

So please explain the hickory trees... You can buy 5. They get cut down with 10 saws. You can't plant more hickory trees after harvesting... Presuming we need the wood for the smokehouse, do we only need them once?

[Rynetory2]

Update:

I've just finished updating the information in Post 1 and also the Farmers' Market and boosts in the Guide, so have a look. If anyone has more information, please post to share. Thanks.

I'm also checking on the questions which you guys have posted, will update when I get more information.

[justmine2]

Answered my own question. No for android. Some nbrs not getting bells for finishing band 1 nbr got 3 bells and the cat and dog!!

Part of the update I guess, I can now view what crafts I will be able to make in each building once I reach a certain level. I like this! Two examples:
3173431735

[ghjvcucjb]

FYI: I was so excited for the new building this morning that I started clicking and giving without carefully looking at the order. After giving a zillion high money and high crafting /cooking time items, I realized the last one was 5 red rubies! Impossible. Already went through dozens of tools and zero rubies. I'm lucky to get one or two a month so now I can't finish the order and lose out on all the other items I gave. Be careful everyone and slow down with all the new stuff.

[fml999]

Yes these are permanent. :)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Very cool 😊😊

[AllyPally215]

Got the kitchen boost - lasts for 22 hrs, but I don't see a difference 😥 Maybe doesn't work if u were already crafting items..?

Edit: does indeed only work for items i add after u planted the flag :( the reduction on the crafting time isn't impressive either.

I have rubies in my next order. If its five like you, or even one, not happening. I am not getting tools like i used too, and rubies have become an endangered species.

[bss0226]

Is the reward, gold cowbell etc random? We really need a way to discard an order and reset the timer like the trains and planes

Also I have had many trains which I discarded because they asked for smoked peanuts, smoked tomatoes, smoked bacon, smoked salmon.

[bss0226]

I have the exact question about the hickory trees.
After collecting wood from the hickory trees, if you restart your farm you can plant 5 more

Thank you for this. I was tempted to use a couple of the bronze cowbells I received to buy the boosters, but since they don't last, I'll probably just hoard them until something new comes along...or until there's official word that they have no other use than to buy boosters. It would be nice if we could trade in x number of a lower cowbell for 1 higher one.

If the Smokehouse is going to be a permanent building, it doesn't really make sense for the hickory trees to be limited. I hope this is only temporary.

[PookieBear50]

Has anyone received delivery orders that earned more than just a bronze cowbell? If so, what kind of items were in it? I'm assuming that the color cowbell we receive is going to be directly related to the types of items being requested? It would also be helpful to know what kind of cowbell we're working towards, so as to decide if we want to sacrifice hard-to-find items (like rubies) or time-consuming-to-craft items (like Sashimi).

I got 1 silver bell. I had harder items to fill and assumed I'd get a gold and got only a bronze. Not happy

I thought it was only my farm that the rubies have become endangered. I use to sell them off by the cart load while trying to get the iron ore. Now that we have the vases to craft I can't find any rubies so that building sits idle unless I find something in the newspaper.

I have a delivery order for 21 iron ore, and knowing my mine, now that I need 21 iron, I'm going to get mostly silver instead. Is there any word on what happens if we can only partially fulfill and order? Do we get back items that we sold? Do we get anything if something's not quite complete?

[LuvsHorror]

If the Smokehouse is going to be a permanent building, it doesn't really make sense for the hickory trees to be limited. I hope this is only temporary.

You can only own 5 at a time. Each one takes two ax hits to harvest. I was immediately able to purchese 5 more. I think it's to create more of a challenge.

Gosh, you got an order for 21 iron for Truck?!?! So far I haven't seen such large quantities required, not even for trains. The truck works like the train, you have to load all and you won't get back once loaded, only the coins and xps. I believe this feature works like the Secret Bakers Club in BS2 so you wouldn't get a reward if you didn't load all and you had to wait for timer to count down.

To add: if such large quantities are needed for Farmers Market, I think maybe we need a list of orders and quantities for this too.

I hope not! I can't see myself stockpiling dozens of ores, silver, gold, rubies, to sacrifice for truck deliveries...I don't have the space. And since we probably won't get the reward, I don't think I'll complete THIS particular order.

Just to clarify, I'm at level 62 right now, so that order might be unique based on what I have available to me at this level. Maybe someone at a much lower level (perhaps 15) would have something comparable in difficulty and quantity?

When does the truck come into play?

[bss0226]

I have a truck from farmers market asking for 34 cheese, 16 sugar, 10 quiche 32 apples and other items

Earlier truck asked for 38 biscuits, etc

[PookieBear50]

I have a truck asking for 34 cheese, 16 sugar, 10 quiche 32 apples and other items

Honestly speaking, these quantities seem better suited for one of the two train levels that have yet to be introduced, rather than a delivery truck that only allows 18 hours to fill (with 4 extra hours, but only if we knew in advance the quantities we'd be asked for, like in the Fairground events).

[bss0226]

Next truck, 18 corn bread, 26 anchovies

And the last truck with those high quantities, bronze bell

If we are not getting gold cow bells how in heck are we supposed to get the smokehouse which I need because I keep getting items needed for train (getting gems).... Smoked peanuts, salmon, bacon, tomatoes etc and it's a huge number of gems to skip those items

I would be willing to trade gems for cow bells, especially gold ones

[Rynetory2]

Thank you Everyone for posting your orders. The quantities are pretty appalling, so looks like we need plenty of barn/silo space. The quantities of the Truck order for the same item (e.g. biscuits) seem to vary even for the same farm. (Thanks sweetbama205) I dont think keeping a list will help... I guess the only way is to have a big barn and craft some of these orders while we wait for the Truck to arrive and craft more when it does. I'm all ears if anyone has a better strategy.

As for the smoked crafts orders and lack of smokehouse, I guess my farm will face difficulties in deliveries, trains, trucks, events and etc from now onwards... and gold cowbells are very rare. :( If anyone has the smokehouse, please share with us. With my luck, I doubt I will see it soon. Hopefully by end of the year if I get lucky.

21 gray mushrooms today. Gray mushrooms are almost as rare as red rubies in my farm :-(

Also, after accidentally giving a zillion high ticket items on my fist truck, I was unable to get the last 5 red rubies and my truck left and didn't give me anything. All those items gone and not even a thank you in return. Don't think I'm doing any more deliveries unless something is adjusted. Hopefully smoked item requests won't be too frustrating going forward

You're right, the quantities being requested are appalling. I'm inclined to say that, unless I receive a small, DOABLE order, I'm going to ignore the truck entirely and just do plane and train deliveries instead. Without knowing in advance how many of each item might be needed (since it only tells us WHAT we need but not HOW MANY we need), and realizing that if we don't COMPLETE the order we don't get anything except the coins and stars, I cannot see myself filling up all the space in my barn with items I may not even end up giving to the truck. As I mentioned before, these quantities seem much more suitable to the (not yet introduced) second- and third-level trains than a delivery truck.

[bss0226]

No mine didn't. It disappeared after I clicked on it. I only got the coins.

Sorry, I didn't realize that the coins were to collect, I thought that was to recharge. Oh well, I'm not using them again. Actually I purchased it by accident while replanting trees. I'll certainly try NOT to do that again

[Helle2103]

What do I do with silver bells? Have 3 now but am only in lvl 42. And the only item to buy for silver bells is lvl 60 item.
Maybe there should be more items to choose!

[ankavale1000]

so I honestly don't know what to say about this event thus far. No gold bells for me at all, and I think part of the reason I am beginning to get really frustrated (even though the event just started) is because of the 4 hour wait plus the large quantities of items requested. Unlike plane deliveries where we can discard, I don't think we can discard truck deliveries. Also, where as I can usually have a good run of 6-10 plane deliveries, and maybe I'll get one good event item, here with truck deliveries, after surrendering a bunch of items, no gold bells, but worse, I have to wait 4 hours. When drop rates are terrible, I think the worst for me was like 30ish plane deliveries to get one event parts, I truly hope that is not the case here. I mean, I manage 3 truck deliveries a day, if I have to do 30 truck deliveries to get one gold bell, it would take me 30 days to obtain 3 gold bells for the smokehouse. Maybe I am being pessimistic, but I've had plenty of bad experiences with drop rate during events. Accordingly, for the next month or so, I would have to kick out train and plane deliveries that ask for smokehouse craft items. I am not feeling good about this one. One suggestion -- please take this into consideration -- hold off the smokehouse craft items from train and plane deliveries until the farm has obtained the smokehouse.

[tromalyt]

The game is broken. I am getting orders at the balloon and the train of smokehouse items.

I do not have the smokehouse and I have no hope of getting it any time soon.

[syncler78]

Okay, so I managed the first two truck deliveries without extreme quantities of crops/crafts and got 3 bronze bells and 1 silver bell. This time however, the truck is asking for 8 rubies and 2 red/white bouquets (so another 2 rubies)! The other items are 6 belts, 5 blackberry jams, 4 orange chocolates, and 4 milk chocolates. And I don't even know what it is besides some coins and xps that I might get from this order! Not doing this one! I'll concentrate on getting my plane and train orders done.

[zxzxzp]

I did the first truck order and not sure I can do the next one. Like someone mentioned before, the truck seems very similar to the train! And like they said. I wish instead of the truck the other two slots on the train were open in this update.
Just a suggestion, maybe after we earn certain number of gems sending train orders. The next slot opens. With higher gem values. And hopefully doable orders.

[tankerslacers]

We need the ability to increase our barn and silo capacity between the new items introduced in the last month or so and now the truck deliveries. PLEASE allow us to increase both our barn and silo capacities. Now THOSE are the challenges I really enjoy.

[driver1711]

For today's Truck "Bakin' Me Crazy", I need
1 Cranberry Bread,
3 Caf? Latte,
3 Blackberry Jam,
11 Cheese,
4 Milk Chocolate,
15 Flour.
Should be fairly easy to do if I can find the milk. Last one was impossible with it requiring 3 rubies. I am level 69.

Filling the truck completely doesn't give you anything, unlike the plane, it just makes the truck leave sooner so you can start on the next order sooner. The only money and xp you get is when you fill each item.

[LadyFencer]

I haven't had outrageous deliveries yet, but I do not like that there is now a truck on the right side of my screen and little trucks above all the places I need items from. The screen is too cluttered.

I have filled mine a few times and frankly, I am not impressed. I am stuck on ice cream with this last one and since I haven't bought the ice cream shop yet and no ones selling them, this orders a waste. So I have t loaded anything.

I sent a few I considered to be valuable stuff and got bronze bells. I do not understand how they can make it so random that high dollar stuff equals lowest bell. I would think the higher value and harder to fill stuff would give a better chance of silver or gold bells.

So I will wait it out and see if it gets adjusted. If I don't get a smoke house, oh well. Sooner or later someone's going to be selling those items in the paper if I need them

I play to relax, not be frustrated. One good thing, people are buying like crazy right now.

[PookieBear50]

It's nice that there will be some easier orders mixed in with the impossible/outrageous ones. The waiting period between them is a pain, though...4 hours, I don't mind. The 18 hours' wait for the truck to go...that's another story.

57 cocoa isn't usually too difficult to collect and buy. My current order is asking for 5 rubies. Needless to say, I'm passing on this delivery.

I had an order that wanted 7 red vases and 5 flowers in vases. The one just before that wanted 5 rubies. My next one looks a lot easier, it wants biscuits, I'm expecting it will want a lot. So far I have several bronze, a silver, and a gold bell.

I'm really hating these trucks. So unfair. I keep getting requests for smoked items on my trains. Can't fill them. I've done 18 delivery trucks. Got 13 bronze and 5 silver.

We really need a way to buy cowbells with gems or cash and/or upgrade bronze bells to silver, silver to gold. Maybe 5 bronze = 1 silver, 5 silver= 1 gold. Or similar. If you're not giving us the gold, give us a reason to continue and use our cowbells. I really don't need a goat skin or so many bronze...

Please!

I am at level 59 right now so even if I get a silver cowbell, what can I do with it? I cannot buy anything with silver cowbells. And when I reach level 60, there is only a pet animal I can buy. I can?t see it what it is and I do not care. I have like 10 pet animals in the cellar, I do not have space to put them. I do not need any more pet animals, specially if they are one of those that have houses occupying 9 spaces and the house only holds one animal.

[bss0226]

Another thought... Take out the randomness. Tell us what bell we will get. Make the easy ones to fill give bronze. The harder ones silver. The inane ones, i.e. Hardest ones, gold. Then we know what we will get. After all, doing 75 or 80 items and getting bronze is lame.

Filling vases (empty and bouquets), jams and jellies, pear items etc should reward more than BRONZE

PLEASE

[PookieBear50]

Alternately, keep the random factor of it, but tell us what kind of bell we will get. That way, if we get an impossible order and see it is only a bronze bell, we won't feel so bad about ignoring it, and if we get an extremely doable one that's worth a gold bell, we'll be pleasantly surprised and eager to fulfill it.

But, if we could have a dismissal button that could send the truck away if we're not going to attempt to fulfill the delivery, that would be helpful in getting rid of the floating truck icons. They are useful and appreciable when working towards filling the order, but they are very distracting as well, especially when we're not going to attempt fulfillment.

Looks like you can recharge your boosts after they expire for 500 coins

Never mind, the 500 is the reward you receive after the boost is used up

Hey, when I click on used flags it cost me 500 coins each!

[ankavale1000]

I had to let my train delivery go today because it asked for 10 (or 12, can't remember) smoked cheese. Some of my plane deliveries also asked for smoked items (smoked tomatoes, smoked salmon, and some other stuff I don't even know what). I really don't see myself getting the smokehouse any time soon, putting aside the truck deliveries, I am having somewhat of a hard time doing train and plane deliveries now because of the smokehouse craft items appearing repeatedly everywhere. Please take out the smokehouse craft items from train and plane deliveries ... so this might be too early to mention, but since starting this year, events are back to back ... this current one is about to end in 2 days or so ... which means there might be a new event next week ... if the smokehouse craft items repeatedly appear in plane deliveries by then and us players need to do these deliveries for event parts ... there will be trouble -- epic proportion.

I am not going to comment on the truck deliveries, I am keeping a tally on the total cost of items that I surrendered, giving it an approx. $200,000 value for the smokehouse.

Please remove smokehouse craft items from current deliveries until the farm has obtained the smokehouse. Thank you.

The team lava team needs to tweak this to get a higher number of gold or it will aggravate all of us and many may abandon this game. It is taking the fun out of this game and making it frustrating and more time consuming, as if we weren't spending huge amounts of time in this game

Your truck is here despite your building isnt ready yet. Dont worry you'll be able to start your order once your building is ready. :) The icons above your craft buildings indicate the orders are from those buildings. Just so you know, the truck asks for items from the mine and the quantities are about 21 iron or silver as others have shared.

Gosh, you got an order for 21 iron for Truck?!?! So far I haven't seen such large quantities required, not even for trains. The truck works like the train, you have to load all and you won't get back once loaded, only the coins and xps. I believe this feature works like the Secret Bakers Club in BS2 so you wouldn't get a reward if you didn't load all and you had to wait for timer to count down.

To add: if such large quantities are needed for Farmers Market, I think maybe we need a list of orders and quantities for this too.

I don't think it's safe to make that assumption about set quantities. The first order I had asking for rubies requested 5. The second time rubies showed up, it asked for 8.

[LuvsHorror]

Like Bss said, I like the idea of trading up bells. Say, 5 bronze for a silver? And 3 silver for a gold?

Seeing as how others get orders for white mushrooms and mine ore, I have been stocking up. Have too many bronze bells, 2 silver and 1 gold so far. Only thing I want is the smoker, then I'm done with the truck. I hate filling orders.

When playing, it's always best to play the most recent update or version to prevent synchronization problems. Usually for special versions, once an event ends, the special version receives no further updates. At that point, it's best to return to the main game.

Well, I said it looks like that, not it is. I was just making a general observation based on what I had and others had seen so far. So don't worry, I'm not making any assumptions. I was glad ruby was a lesser quantity. Besides, I mentioned in an earlier post there weren't any fix quantities so no point in making the Truck Orders List. Hope this helps to clarify.

Thank you Everyone for posting your orders. The quantities are pretty appalling, so looks like we need plenty of barn/silo space. The quantities of the Truck order for the same item (e.g. biscuits) seem to vary even for the same farm. (Thanks sweetbama205) I dont think keeping a list will help... I guess the only way is to have a big barn and craft some of these orders while we wait for the Truck to arrive and craft more when it does. I'm all ears if anyone has a better strategy......

Yes. Ignore it.

Getting the smokehouse is nearly impossible, the orders ask for too much, stockpiling will take up too much barn space. You cannot trade all those bronze for gold. You cant even buy anything with the silver. I could go on but have likely made my point....

None here yet. My orders have been reasonable since the milk. Waiting on the next which wants rubies, might end up passing on it. By the time I get a smoke house, I have the feeling it will be equal to a million dollars worth of items. Just a hunch.

A heads up.

A friend of mine got 3 gold finally and bought the smokehouse. It takes 1 hour to build and each menu item takes 1 hour to craft

You will need hickory to smoke the items and you'll need bronze or silver cow bells to unlock each menu item except for the smoked tomatoes. So save your silver and bronze bells. You'll need them. Once unlocked, you won't need the bells for the smokehouse

Here's hoping I get 2 more gold cowbells. Finally got 1 yesterday.

[WINDHAMHILLS]

Just taking this opportunity to vent my frustrations with this game. I hadn't read player comments for a while and had hoped to find that our concerns had been addressed by Storm8. Evidently not, after reading the last few pages of this forum.
I hate to have to say it, but this might be the end of Farm Story 2 for me. I'm at level 89 and have enjoyed several years of farming. Now I find I can't complete orders because I can't get the smokehouse. Filling orders is an important fun part of this game for me. I've filled all but one or two of the truck deliveries since it opened and all I've got to show for it is 1 gold cowbell, 2 silver cowbells and 7 bronze cowbells in a row. i haven't had any outrageous orders to fill like some have reported, but I did have to provide 23 bread and 28 flour in the same order. I've had to let several train deliveries go unfulfilled because of smokehouse items needed. I've yet to see any smokehouse items available for purchase.

If anyone has found a work-around for this problem, please let me know. I'm going to try paying gems to speed up the next truck. Maybe that will help.

[ankavale1000]

I have three farms. All same level. After completing approx 30 truck deliveries on each farm, I have 1 gold bell on each farm. The ratio 30:1 is what I had predicted at the start of the event and I'm hugely discouraged and saddened.

Well, what about a CRAFT BUILDING that only a selected few could have? Would that be UNFAIR ADVANTAGE? Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with players getting it early. My problem is with the setup of getting the smokehouse. My problem is with TL.

A craft building is more akin to fruit trees and plots, rather than pets. Setting up a pet based on luck events is bad enough as it is, setting up a craft building based on luck is basically telling the players to walk away from the game.

Without the smokehouse, deliveries are therefore limited. I discarded my train today because I didn't have smoked cheese. I discarded a few of my plane deliveries, too. No need to mention the balloon. Instead of enjoying this game as I used to, this whole week I find myself throwing away deliveries constantly.

By the time the next event comes around, I know I will face the same issue, though may be worse, because if event parts are only obtainable through plane deliveries, then it would be even more difficult.

I think my time with Farm Story 2 is coming near an end. I've really enjoyed it up until now. I've met some really nice farmers here. I don't win all the pets but that's okay. A craft building based on luck just doesn't sit right with me. The Haves, The Have Nots. There's enough inequality in my real world, I don't need that in my virtual world too.

The best of luck to all of you.

22 orders! When is that third gold cowbell gonna drop? I have been on day and night, and I think I may be about done with the whole thing. The frustration is starting to get to me. This is ridiculous. It's a game, but this isn't fun. Who thought this up? I hate complaining, but if I see one more bronze bell I might throw my Ipad out the window.
I need a vacation from this game.

I haven't gotten any gold bells yet, but my current train order needs BOTH smoked peanuts and smoked salmon.

[mearro]

We can now unlock golden lure for 3 gold cowbells.

[LuvsHorror]

I won't be getting another gold cowbell because I have given up and am selling all my stuff. Sorry my prices are high, but I'm broke.

[jmterao]

The new rubbage pile gave me a saw.

Lol, I tried it twice. Got a saw and a nail. trying it twice was enough for me. I am over that thrill.

I quit chasing the gold cowbells.

Sooner or later people will be selling smoked stuff and I will get it that way. I really expect the price of the smoked items won't reflect how hard it was to get the shop. If an order is reasonable I will send it, but rubies and other items that are just too hard to find? It might as well be asking for paint buckets. I will pass.

I have just started concentrating on selling stuff and expanding everything that can be done.

I just hope the crafts from the peach trees bring high dollar. Two days before you can harvest. 200k for 4 trees was a bit excessive in my opinion.

[WSEagles]

Trying to get the gold cowbells is like trying to find green balloons! I have 0 gold cowbells. At this point, I'm done trying to get the smokehouse. Also, after scrambling to find green balloons for me and my son so he can get his first pet and now you can buy the pets! Why do an event if you are going to offer them for sale later. With the delivery truck, please get rid of the mini trucks above the buildings and also the number 3 above my market house!!!!! And when the truck leaves and comes back, my screen moves to watch it.

Your truck is unbelievable as well!! I really really hope mine does not get to that! I happily placed you in 1st place. :)

Just wish my truck stop asking for toy train, horses, dolls and pear crafts. Every single truck asks for them. I'm going to wave a white flag at my truck soon!

judyandthecat is correct- your luck is fabulous! I think it would be a waste if you gave up now being so much closer to it than others. But saying that, I can understand the frustrations you felt that led to your decision.


I agree this truck is making me want to give up. The rewards are not commensurate with the items we need to supply and the receipt of gold cow bells seems to be stacked against us. I would gladly buy the smokehouse for gems or part of a package to get gold cowbells for real cash. This is so frustrating

I agree. I would rather purchase the smokehouse just to get rid of the frustrations and make the game enjoyable again. Although I know it's unfair to others who don't have gems.

Sigh.... If any member has a good solution, pls let me know too.

[Rynetory2]

Does any one have a glitch with the farmers market?. I have built the market sent one order and the next time I open the game the market is gone and the ground is covered in snow. I have green grass when the market is visible. I have filled one order and start on the next and I can't load the van as the market isn't visible. I am playing on a iPad Pro. I have turned off the iPad and even checked for game updates, not sure how to fix this problem.

Can you reinstall the game if you're still having this issue?

[judyandthecat]

We all are very frustrated with the low drop rate for gold cow bells.
I am not going to quit a game though that I have played for years.
Random luck is a tough one for a machine that players need items to fill train and plane orders.
Rynetory2 is trying to at least put some fun in it by posting outrageous amounts.
All I can say is hang in there and maybe just treat truck deliveries as one or two a day.
As for trains I go for two gems if I am unable to fill the whole train.
Planes are better because we have the option to delete the order.
Good luck and keep trucking....
I still after 21 deliveries have zero gold so we all are basically in the same situation.

[mearro]

Just saw the very first item from smokehouse for sale in newspaper, well if you have coins

[bakerystoe]

Got 33 buns last truck and then I missed it:(

[RobsAngel91214]

Add me to the list of the frustrated. 3 trucks in a row all wanting large amounts of silver and the flower vases with and without flowers which are seemingly impossible with only 2 rubies and none to be found and not enough coins for the flower shop. I've asked for help on the buy/sell board and continually watch the papers and friends' farms. I suspect others are having the same problem because these vases are like non existent and my tools are once again depleted. The truck I have now wants 11 more silver(11 the last two trucks also), 4 plain vases and 1 with flowers. It's insane!!

[LuvsHorror]

I'm not quitting, just taking a break. Want to start over after a rest. Game was getting to me. I'll get that smoker. But it sure feels good to let it go for now!

Can anybody give an example of what you need to give for a gold bell.

I wish I knew.
I have sent 24 trucks
18 bronze
6 silver
Zero gold

I have used my rubies, my red vases, copper and silver ore, candles, jams, pillows, everything you can think of...
This game was the last game I played at night and the first game I opened in the morning.
Sometimes you have to know when to fold your cards...or let the truck idle...
I am as frustrated as everyone else and maybe the players that got gold have a suggestion.
Heck I even used gems and got a truck early thinking maybe that would change my luck but it didn't.
Talk about disappointment...
I don't have the items for my next truck and that's it.

[bss0226]

I've done about 45 truck deliveries. 2 gold, 19 silver, rest bronze. The latest truck gave me my second gold. It has been so frustrating/aggravating to get this far. I can't imagine how many more deliveries to get 4 more gold ( I really want the ability to make golden lures in addition to the smokehouse)

[bss0226]

My next train and is a doozie...

63 milk, 34 cheese, 17 simple syrup, 7 Apple pie, 4 sweet tea, 3 chocolate syrup

So please explain the hickory trees... You can buy 5. They get cut down with 10 saws. You can't plant more hickory trees after harvesting... Presuming we need the wood for the smokehouse, do we only need them once?

I waited out the previous truck cos it was asking for toys, ruby and ruby crafts, pear crafts, consecutively and I ran out of most goodies after 25 trucks (no gold). I decided to stop trucking to replenish my supplies. The next truck came so I opened it for a peep. It was surprisingly a very small truck so I decided to send it using the last of my supplies. To my utter most amazement and shock - it gave me my first gold cowbell from my 26th truck. :D

I have no suggestion but just posting this in case you see this truck at your farm. Who knows it may give you a much needed gold cowbell? It may be helpful for others to post their gold trucks too. Let's keep sharing whatever info, who know it may help... Good luck Everyone and keep trying!

- 5 rubies
- 4 wild bouquets
- 5 strawberry chocolate
- 1 doll
- 9 belts
- 6 orange marmalade

I was quite lucky to get 1 gold cowbell with my first few trucks but then I stopped because I couldn't fill any order so I'm still waiting for easier trucks to come (well if that will every happen, so far I keep getting orders for vases and flower bouquets). Sadly I don't remember what it asked for but it was a fairly easy order to fill, I crafted all the items while waiting and once it was on I immediately delivered everything and sent the truck to go and got the gold cowbell. I don't know if the timing matters? Like the faster you deliver you get the gold and the longer you get the brown?

Maybe certain trucks give a gold cowbell?? Just trying to come up with something even though the truck probably has nothing to do with it and it's all probably random...anyway, good luck to everyone!

Nevermind...just noticed that kisten had the same trucks with different rewards. Oh well...back to the drawing board I guess :confused:

Regardless it may be more fun or more frustrating of leadership board, it actually prevent others from getting their gold among the group. I dont think it's fair given that everyone needs this building for their game. At least with random prizes, everyone has a chance. Well this is just my humble opinion.

Has anyone received delivery orders that earned more than just a bronze cowbell? If so, what kind of items were in it? I'm assuming that the color cowbell we receive is going to be directly related to the types of items being requested? It would also be helpful to know what kind of cowbell we're working towards, so as to decide if we want to sacrifice hard-to-find items (like rubies) or time-consuming-to-craft items (like Sashimi).
I've earned 3 silver so far, several bronze and no gold. I can't remember the items it asked for but they weren't as difficult as some of the orders I've only got bronze for. Earning silver bells is useless for me, anyhow, as I'm currently on level 41 and it looks like you can only use them to buy a long horned goat colour skin only available at level 60 - I guess I'll hold onto them until I've levelled up another 19 times then. :confused:

Actually, you will need silver cow bells as well as bronze when and IF you get the smokehouse. It is used to unlock the crafts

[jmterao]

Just curious. To those that have gotten gold cowbells, did you buy items to fill the order or did you make everything yourself?

Second thought, in receiving the gold ones, did you wait until the order was about to leave or did you fill it early on?

I have sent a few more orders and no gold for me yet. Did get 1 silver and it seems to me I either had most of the items or made them all.

(I may be giving the programming people way to much credit with the above thoughts)

(I may be giving the programming people way to much credit with the above thoughts)

Unfortunately, I think it is totally random and stacked against us

I put the items together before the truck arrives. Some items I buy if I see. Items I don't have in stock are usually on my other farms so I buy from there and make replacements for them on the other farms. This keeps my main farm open for things I have to make for goals etc

Then I send off the items usually shortly after the truck is available.

I don't think it matters how fast or slow you fill or send off. Someone mentioned that the gold drop rate is something like 1 in 30. So you should get your first gold bell toward the end of 30 deliveries, second toward the end of 60 deliveries and the third toward the end of 90 deliveries. To see how many you've done, rough Guess, add your cow bell count and then add the number you think you've used

I think I've done approximately 60 deliveries because I have 2 gold, 25 silver, 26 bronze and I know I have used a few bronze for rubbage piles

Gold the second gold day before yesterday so I think it will be a few more days at least if they'll give me the last bell

I also think team lava/storm8 purposely try to keep us from getting these items. Eventually, I think they will sell packages of cow bells for real money. This is how they do business. Make it so hard that we will spend money to buy items or gems to get the hard to achieve items

Summary of feedback
Based on what members have reported on their gold cowbell...
- some members got it early in their game, first few trucks.
- 2 members got it at 26th truck
- others somewhere between 26 and approximately 30 trucks

No conclusion. But if you are close to 26+ trucks, keep going. Who knows you may get yours like the rest did? It's random but no harm trying.

I weep for whomever had an order with white truffles! I also made the mistake before of adding items and realizing I had one last thing I couldn't finish or find in time and all my items went to waste.

This one is asking for cranberry bread, juice and jelly. Plus iced tea, regular tea and the tea with lemon and honey. Like, cut me some slack!

Yesterday I had three requests back to back, asking for sugar and cream. Maybe not the worst thing but those 30 plus items are my main uses items. Don't ask me about the truck with four cafe items. Including the coffee using caramel.

I just started playing again after taking a six month long hiatus. So don't sue me for not remembering the names of items. I'm super excited to get the smoker, so I keep checking this game religiously.

Seeing all these items I now regret not playing for so long. When I came back I said I wouldn't care, but visiting farms looking for rare items for the train and truck, they're SOOOOOOO cute!

I love all the new stuff and cannot wait for spin the wheel. Might have to get some gems again soon!

[orleansparish]

None here yet. My orders have been reasonable since the milk. Waiting on the next which wants rubies, might end up passing on it. By the time I get a smoke house, I have the feeling it will be equal to a million dollars worth of items. Just a hunch.

I have one gold that I got on the day this was released. What I'm puzzled by is this one player that had smokehouse items for sale within a few hours of this being released. I know many aspects of this game is luck based, but come on!!!

I cringe to think if gems were used to speed or finish things. Or girlfriend has one heck of a storage facility running.

[Helle2103]

This time: 48 biscuits.

More than 20 truck deliveries: 8 silver bells and a lot of bronce. No gold

[yppahc]

How are you managing to fill your trucks? Have you put the rest of the game on hold? I keep all my machines busy which has meant I cannot fill lots of trucks. Eg today I needed dolls houses which are rarely for sale. I had 40hrs worth of items already queued in the toy maker. Am I better leaving things idle to make things once I know I can see the next preview?

My barn is full but as usual the truck always seems to ask for the things I haven't got stashed away.

I know the feeling. I just sent a truck with all my carmel sauce, cream and sugars and the new one wants the Carmel suckers. It wants white truffles as well so I will be sitting this one out.

Still no gold bells here. :(. My quantities have been reasonable just the selection hasn't been. Lots of cranberry juices and the new truck wants them as well.

This new shop has thrown the entire balance of my farm off.

[Rasenkyuugan]

I think it would be great to be able to 'load' part of the order, especially when you get an order like I just got which includes 57 milk and 33 biscuits (this will be fun LOL).

[jmterao]

Well my order finally popped and I will have to pass. 10 white truffles. The last time I had an order wanting 7 white truffles, I used gems to keep my hogs digging till they found them all, and the reward for that? Ta Dah! Drum roll..... Bronze bell.

Not this time.

[margarita1013]

I must be the only one having trouble with this new update. I had 23 mining tools and not one ruby? When I do manage to fill the truck, I never get a gold bell. Seems to me, the more you need an item, the less likely you are to get it!

[Lilliepaddd]

Why can't this game have easier goals, events etc. I don't need to be challenged I just want to farm. My next order requires 8 rubies! Ya right!!!

Tired of seeing bronze bells... Just saying TL

I think this game uses a kind of artificial intelligence that knows what we need and then tries to keep us from finding it. I've noticed that I see an item in many neighbor's' stores all the time. But when I need that item, suddenly it can't be found

And getting the elusive gold cowbell is another one they've inflicted on us. You can't even buy the missing items if you wanted to use gems. Other events etc at least let us use gems to buy or skip. Not this one. Very frustrating for all of us

[ghjvcucjb]

45 flours and 11 red juice! Plus everything else. The problem isn't making the flour, the problem is barn space to hold everything before we can load it. Wish we could load as we go.

Rubies have become an endangered species on my farm since we got the vase making building. I use to sell them off regularly. Now nada. My building pretty much sits unused. When my truck order asks for vases, I don't even bother trying.

I ignored this new update after my first order was red vases and floral arrangements. Impossible with the lack of rubies in my farm. But I keep getting a zillion orders for smoker items so thought I better figure it out. Now my entire farm is on ignore while I try and get bells for that stupid smoker. Not sure how long I can keep it on hold as I'm running low on mining tools, saws and other items I can only get with plane deliveries.

Same here. Wish I'd never bought the flower shop, I never use it because I hardly ever have rubies.

[SallyCat60]

This new feature does seem to have affected sending plane orders: it's catch 22 atm. Plane is asking for hard items the same time as the truck or asking for smoked items which we need to fill truck orders to gain the gold bells to buy the smokehouse. So far I haven't had a sniff of a gold bell but hey, I got five silver bells now (which are completely useless to me until I level up 19 more times :/ ) and bronze bells which at least can be used for something such as speeding up the kitchen and mills to make stuff quicker for the truck which then rewards you with.... another bronze bell... Despite the coin rewards being seriously under the market value, it at least gives reasonable xp to help level up so there's one good point.

[dugambon]

This is the first time ever that I complain. The truck takes all the fun out of farming. Enough bronze and silver bells, but gold stays far behind. The truck totally prevents the 'normal' farming which used to be fun. The orders are outrageous and an attack on the barn that we treasure. I have not heard one positive thing about the truck. Please release us, give gold bells or get rid of the truck.

[gerrywerry]

THIS! And to be able to dismiss the truck if you're not interested in doing it, like we can with the train!

[fastfoody]

Are the serious ?

I went to the mine with 27 tools and got home with 1 ( one ) red ruby. And now there asking me for 11 vases. Im gonna quit with the truck.

[fastfoody]

THIS! And to be able to dismiss the truck if you're not interested in doing it, like we can with the train! yess !

[Helle2103]

12 red gems!!!

How should that be posible? Last time I mined 35 items there were 0 red gems.

You need to fix this. The game is not fun anymore. If we could dismiss the truck ordre then OK - but now I have to wait a day.

6 red vase
3 romantik bouquet
3 Wild bouquet
5 peanut brittle
4 strawberry chokolade
7 belts

[LuvsHorror]

I did it. 3rd gold bell. I started skipping orders to take a break, then a couple easy ones popped up. And now I have a smoker, all unlocked. Wow.

Congrats! Now that you have the smoker, would you even think of continuing to send truck orders? Is there a point anymore to it?

Hey! Does anyone know how to remove the truck symbol all around the farm?

Omg I just got one of those crazy 57 milk orders! Lol!

[DragonManda]

Those little trucks hover above the location where you collect or craft the items for your current truck order. For example, my cows currently have the truck icon above them because my truck order wants a lot of milk. In order to get rid of the truck icon above each thing, you have to complete that section of the order. So I would have to turn in 57 bottles of milk to get rid of the one above my cows.

[LuvsHorror]

I guess if I want to be able to make those really fancy fish lures we only get by Stormie. I will try for that, but I think that will take a really lng time.

[LuvsHorror]

I like that symbol, wish there would be one for train and plane. Very helpful, unless you don't do delveries, then I suppose it's a pain in the behind.

Proposal for team lava.

Let us buy gold cow bells for 120 to 160 gems each. This is how I figure....

There are 2 new pets for 2 gold cow bells each. Most pets are sold for between 240 to 350 gems. So dividing by 2 comes out to 120 gems to as much as 180 gems. Let us use gems. I too would like the lures after getting the smokehouse. I would gladly use gems even if I had to buy more gems.

This truck is not fair. Selling gold cow bells for gems is a way to level the field and does not force anyone to buy the gems. It's a way around that I think we all could use

[jmterao]

If you unlock the fishing lure, does it stay unlocked or do you have to spend 3 gold bells every time you want to make one?

[jmterao]

i got a 63 cocoa but tried to get a picture and it didn't come out. Just FYI I guess. There more than milk that goes big.

[LuvsHorror]

I actually don't know, but I would think so. Like the smoked items are unlocked once and stay unlocked.

[Prooks]

I took a break for a couple of days. Once I started up again. I received my First Silver Cow bell and 2 bronze. No Gold

[NYM9CX]

It's no fun if each truck delivery wants the (2) romantic bouquet. Mining got more sliver than I'll need. NO RUBIES. Paid 67 gems for first truck Then, second & third trucks again has (2) romantic bouquet delivery refuse to pay 67 gems truck leaves with other deliveries 34 hours wasted and no bells given if deliveries aren't completed. Would like the other challenges reading on the other posts. Please stop any type of bouquets if you can't mine rubies or available from T8. 洛

I don't ;) def a pain... Hope it goes soon. The farm takes so long to load as is!

Thanks for your submission. I couldnt add you to the Hall of Fame again since you are already currently at 1st place with 63 milk. :) And someone mentioned earlier in thread that it's easy to find cocoa so maybe we should only count barn items since barn management is more challenging.


If you unlock the fishing lure, does it stay unlocked or do you have to spend 3 gold bells every time you want to make one?

Agreed with LuvsHorror. I should think this is a one time unlock like the rest of the crafts in the smokehouse.

Update: Kitchen and Windmill Boosts

Confirmed that it is a coin deduction and the price is to clear the flag off our farms. The team has changed it from 500 coins to 1 coin instead. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh that's why it was only one coin to clear my used windmill flag! That's a great update, thank you. I thought the price had gone down because I'd left it sitting there for so long :))

This would be impossible for me as I never seem to save up enough gems, lol, I always seem to be using them to help expand land or upgrade workstations. What would be a nice idea is trading bells for bells? I.E, trading bronze bells for a set number of silver or gold bells, or trading silver bells for gold? The quantities needed to exchange lower value bells for higher value bells would probably be quite high, but at least if we're only getting bronze or silver, it gives us an incentive to keep sending truck orders and maybe get a nice gold bell surprise along the way, lol. Maybe once we've got all our gold bell prizes, they also can be exchanged for gems?

[WSEagles]

Today's truck order is asking for 6 vases and 3 daisy/rose vases! Yea right!!!! Who has 9 rubies!!!!!!!! And I bet I would have gotten a gold cowbell for this order but I can't do it. This game is starting to not be fun anymore. My farm is so off balance with this delivery truck. Also, since rubies are hard to come by these days, I want my money back for buying a flower shop I can hardly use and stop putting these vases in the orders!

Level might play into this as well. I have a second farm, level 26 and I just received the first gold bell on delivery #16

My main farm is still chugging away at over 20 deliveries and hasn't found one yet.

[FunkyJM]

Hi all :)

I'm level 54, did 26 trucks, 0 golden bells :eek:
(maybe for next calculation on new info for the *What we have so far*)

Also a nbr friend of mine said she got her fourth golden bell with an easy truck this afternoon. Dunno what the requirements were. Will ask her and if she knows, she can reply here.

[Helle2103]

4 ! Gold Bells. Then they do excist. Have had 10 silver and 17 bronche.:(
