FarmVille Zombie Bushel

There’s a Bushel problem in FarmVille. Would you agree, FarmVille Freaks?

Not enough room in our Market Stalls.

Where are all my neighbors to purchase Bushels from?

Bushel requests are broken.

Crafting struggles for scarce ingredients.

Growing crops just for bushels sake.

“If crafting in FarmVille is leaving you frustrated, a glimmer of hope arrived last week. Zynga has now increased the maximum storage capacity of our Market Stalls to 800 bushels. We still need more room.

Market Stall Expansion

The new 800 maximum storage capacity is only 25 more bushels than previously allowed, but I’ll take anything. To take advantage of the new 800 bushel limit, you will have to expand your Market Stall by completing expansion construction phases. Each phase requires 30 parts and will only increase your bushel capacity by 25 bushels per completed stage. In other words, to expand your Market Stall to the full 800-bushel capacity – be prepared to expand multiple times and collect tons of parts.”

You can read the rest of the article about the Bushel shortage, Crafting struggles, and what Zynga has done to fix the problem so far by continuing reading about the Bushel problem in FarmVille at my weekly column on AOL’s Games.com by clicking here.

FarmVille Artichoke Spirit Recipe

FarmVille Freak crafters will be happy to see new recipes added to the crafting buildings! Each crafting building got three new recipes. The new recipes can be found in your Bakery, Spa, Winery, Tiki Bar, and Tea Garden.

Now, if only we could get bushels easier! If you’ve noticed, crafting has become more difficult than ever. There are very little active neighbors to buy bushels from, no room to store them if you are lucky enough to find them, and if you prefer to grow it yourself? Be prepared to re-grow some old crops that you’ve probably already mastered. Some of these new recipes require very old ingredients. Artichoke bushels (for Artichoke Spirit recipe), now? Yep, that’s a four day crop! Please Zynga, give us more crafting options and solutions to make our crafting more successful.

FarmVille New Crop & Recipes Notice

UPDATE 09/24/12: The Century Crops are now on a much wider release than when they first rolled out ever so slowly back in early September.

FarmVille has a new perk for higher level farmers! You will now have access to grow Century Club crops and craft Century Club recipes! The “Century Club” crops and recipes are permanent (non-Limited Edition) crops and recipes especially for Level 100 and 125 (and higher level) players. We’ve already showcased most of these crops as unreleased FarmVille crops. You can visit that FarmVille Freak article by clicking here.

A request for more crops is one of the consistent pleas from FarmVille farmers. Mastering crops is not only a favorite FarmVille past-time, it is also an area of gameplay that still interests a large majority of players, especially veteran FarmVille Freaks who have been playing FarmVille for years. The Century Club crops and recipes give you a new incentive to level-up if you haven’t reached these higher levels yet. And if you’ve already reached these levels in FarmVille, well at least you get to master new crops and recipes!

Level Requirements for Century Club Crops

You will be able to unlock the new Century Club crops and recipes when you reach Level 100 and Level 125. Of course each crop and recipe does have mastery. The crops will be available with Farm Coins and do not require Farm Cash to plant.This means that before you are able to purchase these seeds and plant the crops on your FarmVille farm, you will need to achieve a certain FarmVille Level to unlock them from the FarmVille Market.

The upcoming high-level crops include Alfalfa, Begonia, Brussels Sprout, Buckwheat, Celery, Flax, Garlic, Goji Berry II (different from 7-Eleven Goojii Berries), Green Beans, Kale, Kidney Beans, Lentils, Lettuce, Okra, Orange Marigold, Yellow Marigold. It’s hard to believe that some of these crops never existed in FarmVille isn’t it?

We’ve listed the high level crops as well as their Level requirements below.

There’s also some nifty Level 100 and 125 Signs.

Also you can try to request the new bushel by posting a Facebook News Feed share, but it’s not working at the moment as this has not been released.
