This week’s Official Farm Ville Podcast for July 23rd 2010 is live! Farm Ville s Community Manager, Lexilicious, is this week’s host.
While this week’s Podcast mostly covers a summary of the tutorial on Crafting Buildings and how they work, some more exciting news from the Podcast reveals that Farm Ville will be making an effort to concentrate on technical issues and bugs, instead of releasing enormous amounts of new content. Many disgruntled farmers will be happy to hear this news considering that oftentimes new content overshadows the annoying bugs and errors that slow down our farming.
You can listen to the Podcast by playing the video above, read the FarmVille Freak Summary below, or read the entire official transcript provided by Zynga at the bottom of the post.
Farm Ville Freak Farm Ville Podcast Summary (July 23rd 2010)
Crafting Buildings
Why do some users have access and others don’t? To insure the stability of the app and to be sure that it is being used as intended. Eventually all farmers will have access.
- Farmers Level 25 and above will have access.
- Pick your profession from Winery, Bakery, or Spa. Each building has their own unique Recipes and required Goods.
- Everyone starts with a Good that is one minute from completion.
- To make Recipes will need to collect Bushels from your friends or collect your own.
- After making Goods, they will need time to “Cook”.
- Selling Goods improves existing Recipes and unlocks new ones.
- Selling Goods to your neighbor gives you 1 XP for your Recipe points.
- All farmers earn 90% of items sold.
- Leveling your Crafting Building unlocks new Recipes and also improves your business’ success.
- Higher level Recipes yield higher Goods.
- Crafting Buildings currently can only be leveled up to 5 star levels.
- You can trade in crafted Goods for Fuel rewards.
- You may only have 200 crafted Goods in your inventory at one time.
- Additional rewards, besides Fuel, will be added in the future.
Shopping for Goods/Bushels
- Goods purchased from neighbors can also be traded for fuel rewards.
- You may purchase a different building from the Farm Ville Market for coins, but you may only have one building for coins.
- If you want both buildings you can purchase with farm cash for 80 farm cash.
COMING SOON
- Farm Ville has finally listened to lots of farmers including Farm Ville Freaks requests! They are planning to release a smaller amount of content and fix bugs instead!Especially since the release of the Crafting Buildings, they want to give users adequate amount of time to absorb this feature and start using it before we are bombarded with more stuff!
- More New England themed limited edition items including: New England Mansion, Miniature Horse, and Coastal Beach.
Are you happy with Farm Ville decision to work on quality control and improvement of in-game errors and bugs over providing new content?
