Happy Holidays from the CLM team!

The Flower Shop is here! Be sure to check our Fan Page for more details, and for the Coupon Code with really useful Gifts. And, don’t forget to LIKE and SHARE if you like the new feature, and for more gifts!

Features:

• you can customize each Flower Arrangement by mixing and matching flowers with Vases of different colors and shapes.
• how it works:
  1 choose a Vase to put your flowers into.
  2 choose the Primary flower.
  3 choose the Secondary flower (or flowers).
  4 you can add extra Wildflowers to your Flower Arrangement, for a touch of beauty, or… Dill, for a touch of… ingenuity.
  5 choose a backdrop and a table to make a Flower Diorama (optional). Flower Dioramas are wooden boxes with transparent glass sides that house your Flowers and Vases. In real life they really exist. The flowers dry up, and they make beautiful wall or shelf decorations. But truth to be told, we just wanted an excuse to allow you to make “postcards” out of flowers, vases and various serene sceneries.
• with 5 Primary flowers with any combination between them, 3 optional plants, 6 Tables and 9 Backdrops, there are hundreds of combinations for you to create a Flower Arrangement that perfectly suits your mood.
• to unlock a Primary flower, you must make 20 Arrangements with the previous Primary flower (similar to Lemonade Stand).
• our plan is to make Arrangements with ALL flower species in the game as Primaries, so the number of unique combinations you will be able to create will be HUGE.
• you can save up to 18 Arrangements or Dioramas. These Arrangements do not go into the Barn, as there’s no way of managing a Barn with so many different items. You sell them directly from the popup window (shipped by instant courier to Jane).
• Flower Shop is customizable with Orange Vouchers, just like the Market Stand. Choose flower buckets of your preferred color, and a nice gold accents paint for the roof.
• you get Vases, Backdrop Silk Prints and Tables from the Train Crates and Orders, once you unlock them with the Quests. Some of them can be bought with RC afterwards, once you get the first one from the Train or Orders.
• 2 new Quests will guide you through all of the Flower Shop features. There is no time limit, so you can take tour time.
• 4 new Wildflowers to forage, for the Flower Arrangements: Buttercups, Snow in Summer, Poppies and California Poppies. You can find them in all areas: Farm, Bellflower, Factories and Sawmill. Joe is not required to study them, as they’re not to be eaten, so they’re not a health risk.
• the Spring Flower Bouquets will be removed from the Craft Shack soon. You can make the exact same Arrangements in the Flower Shop now, but with any Vase you want.

Release notes:

Flower Shop is a Beta feature, and we will tweak it and improve it based on your feedback. Some features related to it might not work properly.

The Flower Shop is a whole new concept in the game, and quite unique in the genre, as far as we know of. As usual, we don’t develop based on what we have or what is the fastest, but what would be the most fun.

Initially we planned a simple interface to make your Arrangements, and a few preset bouquets but it just didn’t feel premium for such an important feature requested by you so many times. So we did a new interface, with a table, and nice transition animations that help you understand what is happening, as it’s a totally new concept. Each arrangement is hand painted (as everything in the game is, except the animal animations) in very high detail, and creating a system to implement all the flower combinations, present and future in our CMS required a lot of engineering and creativity too.

We hope it’s as fun for you to create Flower Arrangements as it was for us to develop. We also hope making Flower Arrangements will be a calming and relaxing experience, as this was our main idea and goal. The different tables and backdrops from the Dioramas can bring a dreamy and postcard-like feel to the arrangements, possibly helping you slip into a “vacation” frame of mind, away from the problems of day to day life.

Regarding the Winter Event: developing the Flower Shop and the Winter Event took 12-15 hours/day for the last weeks, weekends too, so we can release them in time around Christmas. The extra unplanned features mentioned above added a bit of time due to the detailed work involved, so we kindly ask you to be patient a tiny bit more. The Flower Shop and Winter Event are somewhat connected in a cute way that we can’t wait to reveal. The Winter Event will follow very, very soon.

Happy farming!

• bug fixes and improvements:
  – resolved issue where Facebook friends were not displayed in both the Web Portal and the Facebook game due to missing Facebook friends permissions.
  – fixed an issue where some farmers were unable to place pots from the Warehouse onto the farm. Also clarified how Potted Plants work in various places in the UI: you can have as many Pots of any type you want in your Warehouse, but you can only place up to the maximum of 18 on your farm.
  – fixed the issue of receiving a ‘Player has too many Neighbors’ message when attempting to add Orange Neighbors from the Web Portal.
• more info on the Advent Calendar (WIP):
  – you’ll be able to unlock the 1st of December for free if you complete the quest on December 2. So if you are on a lower level, don’t stress out, as you should be able to complete the quest. There is no time limit to complete the quest, as the Calendar will be available up to Christmas, but for example if you complete the quest on December 15, you won’t be able to collect all the things from the Calendar. December 25 unlocks only when you collect the Gifts from all other days (1-24 December).
  – 9 days will be unlockable from 2 RC/day, a limit meant more for encouraging collecting your Gifts daily instead of collecting towards the end of the Calendar. You can also choose what day to unlock from the missed ones.
• Snowball Fight is ON.

This is not the Winter Event, it’s just an extra thing we created as a sign of our appreciation for you. Also, we anticipate the month of December will be busy with updates. 🙂 Happy farming! 🙂

• now the Kerry Cow and Ayam Chicken can be claimed by Event winners! The Kerry Cow works like the Black Sheep. With the Ayam Chicken, is a little more complicated. We tried feeding Orchardgrass only to the Ayam Chicken, but the other Chickens from the Coop always come and eat Orchardgrass too. Guess you can’t train Chickens.
  – SO, if you want to save your Orchardgrass for the Ayam only, place it in a Coop of its own.
  – HOWEVER, Chickens being Chickens meaning they’re totally unpredictable except when crossing the road, we noticed that the other chicken breeds apart from Ayam reward Silver Quality Eggs too, but very rarely. Like, don’t get your hopes up rarely.
  Based on these two possibilities, you decide what strategy works best for you.
  Also, please note that Automation only gives Orchardgrass to the animals asking for it only when you are on your farm, at the moment.
• Farmer Business Cards now show inside Competitions and Leaderboards, if you click on the farmer’s photo. They also show in other places where you can interact with other farmers, so you can see what they have to brag about.
• on plants with multiple harvests, when a harvest is ready it also shows what harvest you will collect (ex: Raspberries, Click to harvest 6/6). This is useful if you want to know that after a harvest you need to cut that Shrub or Grapevine.
• at your request, we added another Name field on the Web Portal My Account page, so you can add your Name especially for the Neighbors Bar. If a name is not set, it just displays the Nickname.
• added a nice Spooky Recipes Collection popup for the winners of the Spooky Recipes Contest, so the Collection remains in their Collections tab.
• bug fixes:
  – fixed a bug inside Remote Gear Management where when you changed the Gear produce, it didn’t update correctly.
  – if the Truck is on Bellflower Meadow and you are at your farm with Joe, you can now call the Truck back, for 1 Fuel, directly from your farm.
  – fixed Joe not picking up loot when he’s without Truck in Bellflower Meadow.
  – fixed a bug causing Joe to be unable to travel between areas or traverse areas repeatedly without a page refresh.
  – fixed toolbar drawer remaining disabled when traveling between areas.
  – several other small bug fixes.

• Trick-or-treat your Neighbors! All details here: Trick-or-treat your Neighbors
• Halloween Deals – 90% Sale! Starring Mocktail Dracula, The Cloth Reaper, Strawie Scarecrow and Cows’n Roses.
• fixed several bugs you reported related to Joe, the new Water Sawmill area and the Truck, plus a few more miscellaneous ones.

We will update the article based on your feedback and questions, and we will add more things for you in the following days, that we wished we would included with the Event. It’s tough to predict how long software development will take, even when we’ve given it plenty of time and skipped a few weekends to finish these new updates. We always do what would be fun and simple for you to use, not what is fastest to develop.

Happy Halloween!

UPDATE:  >>> Click Here to go to the Web Portal <<<   There, just click on Continue with Facebook. That’s it, your farm should be there!

Before, make sure you are logged in on Facebook with the same account you have a farm with.

Issue 1: If you Click on Continue with Facebook and see a Level 1 farm, you are not logged in with the account you have your farm with. Don’t worry, whatever logins you try, you won’t lose your farm. 🙂 Just log in with your Facebook account you have a farm with, and then click on Continue with Facebook again.

Issue 2: If you’ve made an account directly on the Web Portal using the same email you use for Facebook, please message us and we’ll erase it, so you can log in with Facebook and access your existing high level farm, until we find an automated solution for this too.

——

We are now testing this Fb post gifting system with Coupon Codes to address the issue you messaged us about, of the link in the comments not being visible for many players, since we can’t pin that comment to the top.

We will update the guide below and make adjustments based on your feedback. This update is somewhat connected to the Halloween/Autumn Event, so it had to be released first. Halloween/Autumn Event will follow very very soon, an event that is quite… umm… dark.

 
Guide for the new map area available here, but in order not to spoil the quest, it’s recommended to explore the area first, as it’s not very difficult. Guide: https://clm.beetree.games/help/general-gameplay/the-water-sawmill

Good luck exploring! 🙂

With the growing importance of Starred plants (for who feels like doing this feature) and at your suggestions, we took a few days to expedite Joe planting and harvesting in Bellflower Meadow. You rightfully pointed out that since you moved some of your crops, Joe should harvest there too. Features:
   – for Seeding, you use: 1 Seeding Template for your farm, and 1 Seeding Template for Bellflower Meadow.
   – you use only 1 Harvesting Template for both your farm and Bellflower Meadow.
   – Joe harvests both places using 40 Energy (same amount as he used before to harvest only your farm).
   – multiple harvests in the other place do not accumulate. Example: if you harvest with Joe on your farm for the second time without going to Bellflower Meadow with Joe to harvest, a popup will appear to remind you that you have 1 unused Harvest there, and ask you what you want to do – discard that Harvest and create another one, or cancel. So, it’s best to use Joe to harvest both places, since it’s ‘free’ anyway.
   – Harvest crops first option is now saved, so you don’t have to check it every time.
   – if Joe stops the plan because there is no capacity in the Old Shack, you can make room in the Shack and then click on the plans button to resume the plan until it’s finished.
   – there is a produce estimation for the plan (some trees give variable amounts), and it doesn’t include starred plants. This is useful so you know how at a glance if you have free space inside the Old Shack.

Happy farming! 🙂
