Howdy, Farmers!
Time to head to your farm, we’ve got an update coming for you tomorrow. Here is what’s new:
🍒 Organic Research: Cherry Orchards
Organic Research Trees are now available for your Cherry Orchards! You only need one single Organic Research License to unlock the full organic potential of the tree. Once unlocked, you can use the new Organic Coins (Orchard) or Gold to activate the nodes inside. You can get Organic Coins (Orchard) in the Reward Center.
Highlights:
- “For Science!” Node: Gives you a chance to receive Catalysts for your Farm Laboratory upon harvest.
- “Fine Threads” Node: Gives you a chance to receive a random spinning factory product upon harvest.
🍎 Organic Research: Apple Orchards
Apple Orchards are receiving the same Organic Research Tree treatment. However, to unlock the full potential of your research tree, you’ll need to unlock the final nodes.
Highlights:
- “Colorful Harvest” Node: A chance to receive a random dye factory product upon harvest.
- “Shimmering Harvest” Node: A chance to receive Silver Apples upon harvest.
Note about the Versatile Fruit Garden: This combined apple and cherry orchard also features its own Organic Research Tree with nodes designed to boost both parts.
🍏 This update also introduces Windfall Fertilizer and Windfall Apples. You can produce Windfall Fertilizer in the Nursery using normal fertilizer and water. Windfall Apples will be used in new recipes.
🍇 New Orchard: The Vineyard
A brand-new orchard is arriving on the Main Farm: The Vineyard! You can now plant and manage your vines to produce Red Grapes using fertilizer. The Vineyard is available in three sizes: Vineyard (6×6), Efficient Vineyard (6×6), and Glorious Vineyard (6×12).
The Vineyard launches with its own Organic Research Tree to boost your production output. Note: The Organic Research Tree is currently smaller than other orchards as the Vineyard does not have a secondary product yet.
🏘️ New Community Building: Grape Greenhouse
To help you manage your space, we are also releasing the Grape Greenhouse (6×6). This building allows you to store your Vineyards in one place to save room.
🍞 New Bakery Recipes & Handbooks
With all these new products, it’s time to head to your bakery! We are introducing four brand-new recipes that utilize your Windfall Apples and Red Grapes. Handbooks for all four are available.
The new recipes are: Apple Almond Cake, Apple Chutney, Raisin Bread, Roasted Grapes on Crostini.
All new products will be requested in the Market after the update.
🛠️ Bug Fixes & Improvements
- The Tanuki and Leprechaun (from Golden Week and St. Patrick’s) can no longer prank buildings that are stored inside Community Buildings.
- We’ve improved game performance and stability when you have many sapling trees on your farm.
That’s it for the update tomorrow. Let us know your feedback and if you have any questions. Happy Farming!
