• Horse gameplay improvements and bug fixes:
  – fixed Horse’s stats decreasing too fast (Strength, Stamina, Speed) (more than twice that we intended). Type Coupon Code HRF5GT in the XP Bar > Stats&Skills > Vouchers to redeem 5 free Horse Racing Feed Mix A, so you can get the stats back up. By detraining too fast, for the second Event you had Strength level 4, and it would take AGES for you to get back to level 5,6,7… clearly not what we intended. Target is, if you train your Horse twice a day (at about 4 hour intervals, for a full bar of Energy), you should be able to do all obstacles no problem.
  – fixed 5294 ‘storage is full’ bug – horse Fertilizer was not counted correctly in the Old Shack.
  – fixed game freeze/game not saving when travelling to farm after putting the Horse in the Stable.
  – now, using Racing Feed doesn’t make the Horse full, so you can use it any time you like. Racing Feed doesn’t conflict with the Horse’s carrot-eating schedule.
• Competitions:
  – added possibility to see other player’s activated Swan Pins (earned XP counts double, especially in Competitions). When you open the Competitions window, you will see a new icon in each player’s box, during the time a player has the Swan Pin activated.
  – added Racing Feed Mix A prizes. Hover over any place to see the quantity. Winner takes 8. All players in Competitions Top 50 get at least 1 bag of Racing Feed Mix A. (WIP)
• other fixes:
  – fixed depth sorting for birds in Bellflower Meadow – if they hid behind a tree, they would still show up in front. Now if a Bird goes behind a tree, it is hidden and also has transparency, when you toggle transparency on/off.
  – fixed a bug where when you collected a Clover and the Bees were in the air, they were returning to the hive, but you could still hear them buzzing.

Thanks so much for the feedback, we are improving the Horse based on it!  

Horses are here! Ready to train and transform yours into a Champion? Be sure to check our Fan Page, where a cool (and very useful) gift also awaits you in our first comment to our last post. And, don’t forget to LIKE and SHARE if you like the Horse, and for more gifts!

With gorgeous graphics and real-life sounds, this is not pretending to ‘train’ a horse that sits into a square by feeding it different things, or other gameplay tricks that are practically the same thing, but with different clothes. You actually command your Horse to stay, walk, trot, gallop and jump, on a big Horse Arena. 

In complexity terms, it’s practically a whole game inside the game. It took us longer than expected to develop it, we did much more than the initial concept, because it just felt right (and fun), and we think you, the fans of the game for such a long time,  deserve it. Since this is a farming game, having a horse and a gameplay for it inspired as much as possible by real life felt the appropriate thing to do.

All info about the Horse in this article: https://clm.beetree.games/help/general-gameplay/the-horse/

Although the article is full of numbers and details, actually playing with your Horse is a breeze. We’ve gone to great lengths to make having and training the Horse as easy for you as possible. There are some simple Quests to guide you, and there are 3 new Achievements: Hold Your Horses, Haywire, and Home Stretch. Oh, did we mention the Horse also gives Fertilizer? 🙂

As usual, and because nobody has something similar to this in a farming game as far as we know, the Horse and how it works is in beta, and we might adjust how it works based on your feedback and how you use it. So, if some task might seem too long or too short, don’t worry about it, we’ll adjust accordingly. For the moment, we wish for you to just have fun playing with the Horse around your farm!

Happy farming!

• various usability improvements:
  – you now can turn on or off Automation for any Gear or Animal by simply hovering over it for 1 second. A small button will appear. This way, you don’t have to open any popup, as you did before. This is useful especially with the Brief Objects Info setting. You can turn off this setting by clicking on your OP Bar and unchecking the Show Automation buttons on hover setting.
  – Open/Close all Greenhouses buttons are removed from the OP Bar popup, where they didn’t belong, and now appear when hovering over the bottom corner (base) of any Greenhouse for 1 second.
  – Special Orders notifications now appear only when the Special Week changes, not when the prizes change (they change daily). This way, you don’t need to click on that popup daily just to turn off the notifications.
• added 2 new badges you can activate:
       – Stock Master – have at least 1 of all items available for your level in the Barn (when you check Show products with 0 quantity, you should have no such ‘red’ items). To activate the badge, you need to have them for more than 5 minutes in your Barn, so the counter registers them.
       – Stock Wizard – same as the above, but with Silver and Gold Starred produce. Extremely hard to obtain. Don’t even bother.
• rearranged the badge order in the Farmer Business Card, added above mentioned badges, and added the Competition Winner badge in the Farmer Business Card, so for example orange Neighbors can see they are able to invite players with some SERIOUS game to be their Neighbors. 
• when you hover over your Neighbor’s level star in the Neighbors Bar for 1.5 seconds, you can see their Farmer Business Card and records (Max XP/1 day, Max Crops harvested, etc.).
• you can now pause the Daily Reward counter. CLM is a game where you play to relax, and if you care about this counter, we don’t want you to be stressed about losing the count when you go on vacation, or simply can’t be around the computer for a few days. You can pause the counter for a total of 14 days. You can find this feature in the top right of the Daily Reward popup.
• we created The Blue Marble Award, for players who log in the game for 365 consecutive days.

• usability improvements that will make producing with Gears easier:
  – when clicking Go to Gear from Orders now take you directly to the product to make inside any popup (Jam’r, Shacks, Kitchen, etc.), and the product is highlighted with an orange border. This way, you can produce things much easier, and you don’t have to remember what product was needed.
  – Lemonade Stand now has a queue too.
  – other small improvements.

• major improvements on how the Complex Gears work. Complex Gears are the ones with popups: Spice Shack, Pastry Oven, Ice Cream Cart (Lemonade Stand coming soon). We hope these improvements will help you build a stock of all items easier.
  – we now have a queue with circles, similar to the Kitchen, but made to work the same way the Gears work (you add ingredients, and you can collect a maximum of 3 items). This way, you won’t make one at a time only.
  – tip: after you add 3 products to the queue, you can add an extra one, if you turn on Automation.
  – improved clarity on all popups for how Automation works — you now can see what you have selected for Automation below the close button in any popup.
• Ketchup Wiz is now called Sauce Wiz, it is now a Complex Gear, and has following characteristics:
  – 2 new Sauce Wiz products: Tomato Sauce and Tomato Paste.
  – Pizza now uses Tomato Sauce instead of Ketchup, so we can escape potential blasphemy accusations from our Italian players. 🙂 Also, Lasagna is made with Tomato Paste instead of Ketchup.
  – Orange Icing, Soy Sauce and Mayonnaise havem been moved from the Kitchen to the Sauce Wiz.
  – several recipes related to these ingredients have been modified accordingly (most got prices increased).
  – 1 new product for Winemaker: Apple Cider Vinegar, useful for making Ketchup.
• fixed a big Network Delay bug. Players with slower computers should see less Network Delay messages.

• Raisins Mix is now made in the Spice Shack, instead of the Kitchen, from Golden Raisins and Red Raisins, 2 new Solar Dryer products.

• added more brackets in levels above 200 in Competitions.

• NEW Gear and Recipes! The Grain Flaker crushes Oats into Rolled Oats, and the new Recipes make good use of the Crops and Fruits we recently added to the game. To find out all about them, be sure to check our Fan Page, where a cool gift also awaits you in our first comment to our last post. And, don’t forget to LIKE and SHARE if you like the Recipes and Grain Flaker, and for more gifts!

• gameplay improvements:
  – we have a new setting, Stock indicators, that when enabled, shows little circles of different colors in the Gear selector popups, Kitchen, Craft Shack, Lemonade Stand, etc. This way, it’s much easier for you to see at a glance what produce or recipes you don’t have, and what you need more of. Especially useful when completing Orders.
       – Red circle = no stock in your Barn.
       – Yellow circle = stock under 5 items in your Barn.
  – Recipes popup (the one with the Make button) now shows how many recipes you have in your Barn, so you don’t have to always get out to this popup. Hover over the Recipe image or Recipe title.
  – added when is the next time a Special Order appears, after you complete one. Hover over any Special Order in the Special Orders popup.

• bug fixes and performance improvements:
  – improved game loading performance and size at refresh.
  – improved UI, so it takes less RAM space, so for players with old computers on the RAM limit should give less freezes.
  – fixed a Chicken Coop bug, Tyrone freezing when eating Popcorn plus other several bugs.
  – improved the way the game handles Out of sync events.

• new Settings menu. We have regrouped the settings to be more clear and fixed some issues there. There is also a new Privacy section in the XP Bar > Farmer Profile tab, that also got an upgrade. Two settings have moved there.

• Mushroom House bug:
  – there was a bug with the Mushroom House since last year, that always gave Energy bars, between 1 and 2. Supposed behavior was that it should give Energy Bars in the same amount as the other gifts, not always.
  – also there was another bug (this one since many years ago), that didn’t limit how many houses you are allowed to have on your farm (a maximum of 1).
  We fixed the bug, but many players wrote us asking about why the houses don’t give Energy Bars like they used to. Upon more investigations, we saw many players had more than 10 Mushroom Houses. This clearly was not the intended goal when we launched them.

  Please keep in mind that you should always read the items descriptions, consult the Help section, or ask us directly about details of the game. The Mushroom House description says “Visit every 3 hours during Easter to receive a new gift! The Mushroom House is inhabited by a very generous character. It also has at least 3 rooms, because you can turn on and off the lights by clicking on the windows.” — it does not promise any gift in particular, it just says you receive gifts. This is in response to players writing us about the Gifts.

  Also, as per our Terms and Conditions (and as any game’s Terms, for that matter), if you find a bug or an exploit, you should report it to us. However, clearly this wasn’t your fault or an obvious bug, so:

  – all players with more than 1 Mushroom House will have them deducted and the RC refunded to their accounts, with 49 RC for each Mushroom House.
  – you obviously get to keep also all rewards the little villages of Mushroom Houses gave.

  Next year, we will reintroduce the Energy Packs back in the Gifts list for the Mushroom House, and it will be as generous as before or even more, comparative to a single house now.

• various improvements:
  – fixed an Automation bug where when moving Lemonade and Ice Cream Stands gave an Automation error.
  – various other bug fixes.

• removed the Easter decorations from the Shop and made a few “neutral” ones available all-year-round.

  PS: we know that for some players Tulips, Narcissus and chocolate eggs are missing from Barn. This happened during a scheduled upgrade of our servers. You will have them back on your Barn very soon.
