Howdy, Farmers!

Grab your spyglasses and head to the coast, because we’ve finally spotted the ship on the horizon again! It’s time to polish the deck and get ready – the Cruise Ship is officially docking at your farm again this Saturday!

Before we launch the full fleet, we need a brave crew to test the waters. Our INT players will have one extra run starting tomorrow! This is a technical trial run to ensure the ship sails smoothly before it starts everywhere else. To all our INT sailors: We need your feedback! Please let us know how the voyage goes.

🛠️ Cruise Ship Improvements

Our engineers have been busy in the drydock! Here are the changes and fixes:

• Cooperative Task Updates! More Tasks from the Start: The number of available tasks in the cooperative has been increased from the get-go compared to the last run. Unlock Extra Slots: Cooperative Leaders and Deputies can now choose to buy additional task slots using gold from the Cooperative Account. Note: These unlocks are only active as long as the event runs and will reset for the next run.
• When you skip a task, the new task is reserved for you for 10 seconds. This ensures no one else from your cooperative can pick it up before you do!
• You can now delete cooperative tasks with fewer clicks, just like personal tasks.
• Progress Tracker: A new panel on the right side shows your current task progress and the remaining time.
• You can now see the name of the player responsible for a task at all time – also when the task failed, for example, not just while the task is in progress.
• Tasks that felt impossible or had requirements far beyond the given time have been adjusted to more reasonable amounts.
• The amount of rewards for completing difficult tasks of higher star levels has been increased to make the challenge more rewarding.
• Hard Work Rewards: We’ve upgraded the rewards. We added Golden Windroses (previously only in Ranking Rewards), Chooseable Seasonal Apples, and Organic Coins. While it now requires a bit more work to finish all Hard Work tasks, the rewards are significantly more valuable!
• Cheaper Boosters: Prices in the Booster Shop have been lowered.
• New Ranking Rewards: Players placing 1–50 will now receive the Wood Dragon Statue Deco (part of the Chinese New Year Set #48). Other set parts will be available in offers. We’ve also added more WoF Tokens (Balloon & Cruise Ship) and more Golden Apples to the rewards.

We wish you a good journey and hope you like the next run of the Cruise Ship!
