FarmVille sent out a blast to all farmers in that dreaded yellow box above our in-game FarmVille play area letting us know that many users are experiencing problems posting shares to their Facebook News Feed.
Of course it’s hard to complete quests and other FarmVille tasks without being able to post shares so this is quite annoying and problematic. But there is a glimmer of hope, a workaround that may work for you is that you can add text to your share which should allow you to post it to your feed. You know, add words to the “say something about this” area which for now should fix the problem for most players.
Zynga is aware of the problem and working on a solution.
Says the yellow box:
“Howdy Farmers! We are currently experiencing an issue with not being able to post feeds and are investigating a fix. Thank you for your patience on this issue. You can currently work around this issue by adding text to your feed and the share button will work again.”
Have you experienced a problem posting a FarmVille share to your Facebook News Feed?
When visiting your Crafting Silo or Craft Shop you may notice a new Horse Hair ingredient. Although Horse Hair Bushels are appearing in you Craft Shop inventory, there are no available recipes (yet) that require this ingredient. 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.
More info as we know it.
Thank you to FarmVille Freak Joanne for giving us a heads up!
FarmVille has given some of its most recognizable icons a makeover which has many FarmVille Freaks asking, “Where is my corn?”.
You will notice that the usual Corn bookmark icon located on the left side of your Facebook bookmarked APPS has been replaced with an almost unrecognizable FarmVille Duck head. No, this is not a hack, this is the legitimate work of FarmVille doings. Many of you have asked about changes made to icons which are also featured on FarmVille shares found on your Facebook News Feed. Some of you have expressed concern about clicking on these links because of suspicion of fake groups or scams. We can confirm that FarmVille has given its icon material and some top feeds a makeover which includes art and text changes for some shares.
Use the same caution as you always would about clicking on feeds, but be aware that the Corn icon is no longer featured on shares. Some time ago the Corn icon on shares was replaced with a FV logo icon.
From FarmVille Official Facebook Fan Page:
“FarmVille just gave our feeds a makeover! Check out new the art & text on our most popular feeds! LIKE this post if you enjoy our updated look & give us your feedback by completing this short survey here: http://zynga.tm/1E2 ” (Source: FarmVille Facebook Fan Page)
Do you miss your old Corn icon or do you like the Duck better?
As you are well aware, FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise has its own special currency- Coconuts.
These Coconuts have been causing quite the confusion and tension among farmers. Specifically, which farms you can actually harvest Coconuts on keeps changing in FarmVille.
When we talk about harvesting Coconuts, we are only referring to those items that produce Coconuts. Many of you also seem confused about this so we’d like to clear that up while we are on topic in the side note below. If this information is insulting your virtual farming expertise, please skip ahead.
Side Note:What’s up with Coconuts?!FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise has two currencies which include Farm Cash and the new Coconuts. Only items designated as Coconut producers will yield Coconuts when harvested. This means that although you may have placed some cool animals on your Hawaiian Paradise farm that you’ve gotten from the Facebook News Feed, found leftover in your FarmVille Gift Box, or even purchased in the FarmVille Market- only the Coconut producing animals will yield Coconuts! This also applies to Hawaiian animal habitats. It doesn’t matter if you have a Hawaiian Horse Paddock full of horses. If they are all regular Farm Coin producing horses, then you will only get Farm Coins when harvesting your Hawaiian Horse Paddock. On the other hand, if you have a stable stocked full of Coral Horses (Limited Edition Hawaiian Paradise item) you will be treated to Coconuts upon harvesting. Remember:
Only Coconut-producing items (animals/trees) will produce Coconuts.
Farm Coin-producing items (animals/trees) will produce Farm Coins in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise.
Be sure to check an item’s market icon as shown in the FarmVille Market and it will display a Coconut value if item is able to produce Coconuts. Read more about Coconuts by clicking here.
Now back to the issue at hand, in case you haven’t been keeping up, here’s a quick recap on Coconuts.
First, certain Coconut-producing items were able to harvest Coconuts on all farms. This was a FarmVille “Known Issue” that later became resolved by making Hawaiian Paradise items able to harvest Coconuts in Hawaiian Paradise only. The original intention was that Hawaiian Paradise items would only be able to harvest Coconuts if they were placed on Hawaiian Paradise farms.
“Coconuts are granted outside of Hawaiian Paradise when harvesting!
Coconuts are granted outside of Hawaiian Paradise when harvesting applicable animals/items.
Last Update: 3/2/12
Description: Since the release of Hawaiian Paradise, players have been receiving Coconuts when harvesting applicable animals/items outside of their Hawaiian Paradise farm. Coconuts should only be granted when an item is placed/harvested in Hawaiian Paradise.
Then, FarmVille’s official Facebook Fan Page announced on March 6th that they would be allowing players to harvest Coconuts from Hawaiian Paradise items on all farms.
“FarmVille: Your feedback on this is loud and clear! Effective immediately, we are reverting the rules to allow players to harvest coconuts from Hawaiian Paradise items on all farms. ” (Source: Official FarmVille Facebook Fan Page)
Now, we are back to where we started (I think?) as players are once again reporting that they are unable to harvest Coconuts from animals or trees that should produce Coconuts on any other farm besides FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. We are only getting Coconuts in Hawaiian Paradise. This has since become a FarmVille “Known Issue” as well.
“Coconuts Not Being harvested On Other Farms
Last Update: 3/8/2012
Description: Since 3-8-2012, players are unable to receive Coconuts for Harvesting Animals or Trees that are Coconut Producers on Farms other than HP.
Status: The FarmVille studio is aware of these reports and is investigating the issue.
Are you Coconut confused? So is everyone else. More details to follow… In the meantime tell us what you think!
Should you be able to harvest Coconuts from Coconut producing items on any farm or just Hawaiian Paradise? Take our Poll below and let’s discuss in the comments.
FarmVille is reporting via their official Facebook Fan Page that they have finally fixed the Bushel issue.
Which bushel issue exactly? For some time now, farmers have had problems with not receiving bushels when harvesting your crops. Now, you should notice that you will get more bushels when harvesting your crops.
“Hey Farmers! It’s been a long time, but FarmVille fixed the bushel issue. Now get the more bushels when you harvest your crops! Let us know if this improves your game play by completing this short survey below.
Many of you FarmVille Freaks who just got regular access to FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise felt a little snubbed for being greeted with zero free Coconuts. How’s a farmer supposed to buy seeds? No, this is not a gimmick to get you to purchase Farm Cash. It is an unintentional error with a simple remedy. Refresh!
Question: I just got to my FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise farm and there is a balance of zero Coconuts- what happened to the free Coconuts every farmer should get to start out with?
Answer: This is an error. Refresh your FarmVille game and you should receive the free Coconuts to get you farming and planting in no time!
It’s about time!!! FarmVille finally introduced the ability to have Shared Storage on your Lighthouse Cove Farm with new Shipping Licenses.
Before you get too excited the LC Shared Storage license called a Shipping License costs 75 Farm Cash. Although there is a promise for a free version which currently remains locked. The still locked free option says that a “free license” at Cove Level 10 is “coming soon”. As we all know, the problem with FarmVille is that “coming soon” can mean anything- days, weeks, or months.
FarmVille Lighthouse Cove Farm Cash
FarmVille Lighthouse Cove Free
Shared Storage, also known as transferable storage, will give you the ability to move items between Lighthouse Cove farm and your other licensed farms.
TIP: Are you having trouble finding this license on your farm? First, visit your Lighthouse Cove farm and search keyword “License” in your FarmVille Market. You can also see the option available in your Storage Cellar.
Thank you to FarmVille Freak Dark Farmer for a heads up on this info.
Will you be purchasing Shared Storage for your Lighthouse Cove farm or waiting around for the free option?
Recently FarmVille has been offering regular Limited Edition animals for Farm Coins. We’re not talking about the regular 300 Farm Coin Cow, 700 Farm Coin Sheep, or even the 5,000 Farm Coin Pub Cat or other run of the mill hundred thousand dollar Farm Coin animal. Not to digress, but anyone else notice that even a simple standard FarmVille Horse has a price tag of 50,000 Farm Coins? Shocking isn’t it, especially since this same animal can be sent for free via the FarmVille Gifting Page. No, we are talking about the ones that you’ve been eyeing, but can’t bring yourself to spend the coinage on or simply can’t afford.
In FarmVille, animals have a long history of costing Farm Cash with the rare Farm Coin animal thrown in the mix. Now, on a weekly basis we can expect to see at least a couple Limited Edition Farm Coin animals enter the market. Although these pricey critters usually come with an expensive price tag, it’s an option that we welcome. Now let’s talk more about price. For example, this week the FarmVille Market introduced the Thuringian Goat for 2.5 million Farm Coins and most recent a Vosges Cow for 3 million Farm Coins. There’s also a drool-worthy Lion costing 3 million Farm Coins who will be leaving the market in just a few days. The catch is that because these Farm Coin animals are still Limited Edition, they won’t be in the market forever. So you’ll have to spend what Farm Coins you have or work hard on your farm and save up enough Farm Coins to purchase these animals in the time frame allowed. Maybe even some of you have been desperate enough to purchase a Farm Coin package using real money.
At these prices it makes it difficult for beginners or casual farmers to afford, especially if they are hoping to purchase the occasional Farm Coin animal, much less collect and give homes to all the Farm Coin animals introduced to the market. Perhaps, even the most elite FarmVille Freaks are struggling to keep up. The cost of fueling and running four farms, plus purchasing Farm Expansion not only takes a toll on our bank account, but so does stocking up on these fancy animals.
It’s nice to see an option to purchase animals without using Farm Cash, but at these prices, it makes us wonder who really can afford these expensive Limited Edition Farm Coin animals?
Can you afford to purchase Farm Coin animals? Take our FarmVille Freak Poll below!
Yet another problem is plaguing FarmVille today and this time it involves the inability to post or share Feeds on your Facebook News Feed.
Posting or sharing Feeds on Facebook is key to many aspects of FarmVille play. We need to do this to share items with our neighbors, complete quests, and ask for help.
This problem has become a FarmVille “Known Issue”. Zynga is aware of the problem and working on a fix. For this problem, there is a possible workaround that may help (see below).
FarmVille Known Issue: 1-4-2012 Cannot post or share feeds
Last Update: 1/04
Description: Since 1/04, players are reporting that they cannot post or share their feeds
Status: The FarmVille studio is aware of these reports and is investigating the issue.
Possible Workaround: Trying scroll down. Feeds may appear below the game.
Working four farms can be a lot of work especially when there is a shortage of Fuel. One of the ways that we acquire more Fuel is by purchasing Crafted goods from our neighbors that we can then redeem for Fuel. The problem arises when there are none or very little neighbors to purchase goods from which in turn means no Fuel.
Typically, you have access to purchase from each of your neighbors that have Crafted goods for sale. YOu can purchase one good per friend per day. Currently, a FarmVille Known Issue is preventing the entire list of neighbors from showing up making it nearly impossible to stockpile Fuel. For example, my list of neighbors that I’m available to purchase goods from has dwindled to only 6 neighbors, despite knowing that I have many more neighbors with ample goods available.
This is a frustrating issue for farmers experiencing this issue as it is impossible to run four farms without Fuel for vehicles. I’m pretty sure that one-click farming on all four maximum expanded farms would lead to some sort of permanent hand cramping.
As you can see below, this is a FarmVille Known Issue which means that Zynga is aware of the problem and working on a fix. Many farmers rely on purchasing Crafted goods from their neighbors for Fuel for their farms so we hope that this Known Issue is fixed speedily. In the meantime hang tight, and be sure to take our FarmVille Freak Poll below!
FarmVile Known Issue: 12-27-2011 Neighbors don’t show up so goods and bushels are not available
Last Update: 12/27
Description: Since 12/18, players have been reporting that they don’t see all their neighbors listed while attempting to buy goods or bushels.
