Yay for more tools. I can customise more. I like the production bubbles as it's not always easy to tell if an animal is ready, especially with the chickens
The production bubbles look good in the picture. So what does the tractor do and the train? I imagine the train I fill orders but what kind of rewards does it give? I can only afford one and I don't want to spend all of my coins yet if it isn't going to be profitable for me anyway.
Thanks for your votes and waiting for the other players! Tractor allows you to: - harvest crops and plow fields at the same time - deliver goods to the city by your own - almost 2x better exp and coins than from truck orders - have fun with driving the tractor Train Station allows you to: - complete train cargo - 6 wagons with 3 different orders - you have to complete whole train within 18 hours - you are rewarded with every single wagon - and for completing the whole cargo with bonus coins and the Silver Chest To sum up: If you want to have nice profit and a lot of fun - take the Tractor. If you want to have a big cargo to complete with very nice rewards - take the Train Station.
Thanks for that info that helps. How are you feeling about their price point? 13k for the tractor and 17k for the train. I have just over 20k but I still feel most of that has been earned through watching adverts. I've purchased up to the sheep and loom but haven't gotten my second chicken or cow pen yet. How do you deliver your own deliveries with the tractor? Or will that be obvious if I buy it? Just worried about spending all of my gold incase the prices for the tractor or train change.
Prices are set as a first stage of balance process. For now it is feature_level * 1000 coins. For me it is a good price because it unlocks a huge feature. You can earn up to 500 coins from 3 golden chest within 24 hours. Then counting 200-300 coins average for truck order. It gives 2-4 days of playing with 20 truck orders per day. Including bird treasures and watching ads, you can reduce the time by ~1 day. Maybe these prices are too high. However we plan to add scaling coins from treasure chests up with your farm level. Keep in mind that train has 1-2 bugs, but we will fix them tomorrow with the next update. It should be obvious. Additional 3 orders will show at the bottom line of Orders Board. You can watch the delivery process in the gameplay video here: https://vimeo.com/219495262 (starting from 1:35).
I just started unlocking the tractor so hopefully tomorrow I'll get to test that out. I think it would be a good idea to change the cats starting toy as the mouse is a bit fiddly it doesn't always work and takes longer to use than my snow boot or slipper. Also most of my truck orders are under 200g the ones I actually manage to complete it's not often I complete the 200-300 plus ones. With the gold chests they are becoming very hard to get the better animals I unlock like my sheep it takes forever to get them to full hearts and all that time I'm missing out on gold chests it does seem like a bit of a punishment for progressing but I know I'll get it back there eventually. Have you thought of having some space with the love you need? Maybe 95-100 awards it? As the pet can bring it down quickly if your not online at the right moments for chests. Possibly bugs but I've been noticing for a while now whenever I'm feeding my cat it's food bar will fill but then instantly drop a bit again quite frequently, is it going down that fast or just a display error? Also the new winter shoe toy seems to stay on the ground for a while after being used especially in front of the house.
Thank you, we will think about that. We will have an eye on that. Please remember that putting gadgets on your animals increases their love too. So with the very first gadgets, you have minimum 1 love for each animal at the start. That's why the chest is a reward for "the last farm happiness", not the actual after returning to game. You shouldn't be afraid of it, you will have a time to restore farm love to 100. This is a display error. Noted as a bug. Thanks. It's out in a beta stage. If you want to help testing Blocky Farm, read this post please.
So I have a few more pictures of bugs I'll post them when I get a chance if you don't have them, although no idea how they are triggered. Unlocked the tractor and you all are evil! Took me a while to get it out of that damn space you have it starting in, tricky getting use to the steering but I've done a few deliveries with it. Super hard to steer I keep trying to use the wheel 360 degrees. The pickup points are also evil due to all of the objects in the way Pretty aggressive these farmers....happily driving down the road in my tractor....minus the happy part because I suck at driving it at the moment and then I get pile drived into a tree by another car. The cars on the road just seem to pole through me reducing my reward a lot. Are they suppose to? One of the bugs seem to happen by the stall for selling my goods of the cat is along that road on the stall side whenever I throw a snow boot no boot appears but the cat runs further down the road and keeps doing so whenever you try to use the boot again. The other was a bit random I was just collecting goods and trying to order more and the picture appeared for when you hold down to move a building and the arrow for it stayed there until I shut the app down. Finally why does the red hat unlock before the cherry tree which I need to make it?
This is the arrow one I mentioned in the last post, before today it had never happened but it just stays like that with the lights flowing through it. I can still move and interact with other objects too, it just happened again and it seemed to be I was dragging my screen across and had my finger over a farm plot and it just appeared.
So bittersweet for now? We got reports about too aggressive other cars and we will probably change that. We will be thankful for a feedback divided into pros and cons of the Tractor feature. Then we will try to fix the cons. Yes, this is a bug. Toys disappear when trying to use them outside your farm. Bug, already fixed. Thanks. We know about that issue, but we are still not able to reproduce it
Blocky Farm 1.0.3 (25) update Dear friends! Blocky Farm 1.0.3 update (build 25) just landed! Here is the complete changelog: What we are working on now? The well, ads, casino, animal production cloud messages, fruit trees balance (will be almost 3 times faster), more cards, treasure chests coins scaling with level, visiting other farms bugs and more. Thanks for your constant feedback!
Been beta testing this for a while gotta say these guys are the easiest to beta test with, been in communication with one dev on twitter and they have been quite helpful on making reporting bugs very easy, I've had a fair share of issues but they have fixed them as fast as Apple can get there butts up to review the update. I find the game cute & adorable lots of potential. Needs more decor (of what I know more are coming ). Once you unlock some outfits aww man the animals are sooo adorable! Offline play so happy for this! Cute graphics actually managed to make a creeper in my town as a signature type thing ^-^ It's slow going as all farm games are but it has cute voxel type graphics, has a town and villagers to do quests for, a tractor you can drive. There is a mine and mining vehicle and a farm boat I believe all may be interactive eventually? This game is fun, thank you for allowing me to beta test!
Thanks for the update I'm very happy the order board is working well now although I'll miss the 30 sec time on orders. Also really happy you added the visual for the amount of items in storage on each item. So tractor pros: - - it is a nice addition to the game and makes the game more fun with more to do and I can't think of many iOS farm games that do something similar. - I feel like it rewards you for playing the game, given that you have to deliver orders yourself which takes time but you get more profit in return - it does look good and in the future could give you customisation options if you wanted - it can be fun when not being viciously assaulted by cars or getting snagged on a lamppost ect Cons - - the starting position for the tractor is very awkward as it's surrounded by objects and it was frustrating trying to get it out, maybe move it somewhere closer to a road like by the market? - picking up items from my warehouse and silo was hard but I moved some buildings and it's not as bad now but I do have a rock directly in front of my silo pickup. - steering can be a bit fiddly or it's possibly just something to get use to but it's possibly too sensitive. I try to turn hard around a corner and usually end up going completely off the road. I also try to turn the wheel in a 360 degree motion but you can't do that. I'm always trying to turn the wheel the wrong way for some reason. - as mentioned already the cars, even when you drive carefully a tiny tap to something loses gold and the cars in town seem to have odd paths circling the fountain and some have plowed me down the road and into trees where I was reduced to 20% sometimes they are hard to see coming with enough time to move when your driving. ((Been much better at driving today, although cars still annoy me, pulled off the road completely to avoid one and it still rammed my trailer as it took the corner)) - I don't bother using it to collect my crops because it's easier to do it myself. Although if I had more land and changed the layout of my crop fields eventually it may be better. Sad to see the increase to cost for the storage upgrades I'm on 170 for each but want more space which I get slowly. Did you ever think more about an unlimited iap? Edit: would it be possible to add the amount of items in the warehouse already when you hold on a basket when collecting from animals? Often I don't know if I want to waste more storage space on chicken eggs but have to go to the warehouse first to check how many I have. Also how have you cleared so much land Shining? Looks like your already clear all to the train tracks and from the market stall up. iAP's aren't free on this beta are they? I didn't want to try but I know some devs make them so for testing. Edit: escaped cow and sheep since the update and my notification icon when a chest is ready doesn't appear anymore.
Along with my post above my cat is also wearing the wrong glasses I put the black ones on earlier and now it's showing gold ones? Whenever I try to put black back on it just stays on the ones the cat is wearing.
Sent through my beta application yesterday (I too missed the form) , if theres still time to give some feedback Im happy to help!
Woahhh! Thank you so, so much for your kind words, patience, feedback and for your time that you spent on testing Blocky Farm! It is pleasure to have such a players! Mine and fishing boat are our ideas for updates if only game succeed. They will be fully interactive with a complete new space on the map, but it is a long road to this Thank you for your honest and fair review of the Tractor. We should definitely fix other cars interacting with our Tractor first. Don't worry. Upgrades now will cost more wood and stone mainly - using them will make more space in the barn - it will not occupy so much storage space. And of course we are thinking about an unlimited IAP, but bug fixes and important game improvements first Here you have first 15 lvls storage upgrade costs: Noted. We will think about this too. Will be fixed. Thanks! Thanks. This is a problem with this particular glasses only. Thank you very much! We will invite you to the Test Flight tomorrow. We will publish 1.0.4 update within one day with several really great changes that you all asked for!!!
Blocky Farm 1.0.4 (27) update Dear friends! Blocky Farm 1.0.4 update (build 27) just landed! This update is basically an answer your needs and feedback. We improved the way of moving buildings around the map. We did several player-friendly balance changes. Moreover, we added finished production animals clouds! Here is the complete changelog: PLEASE TELL US HOW DO YOU LIKE THESE CHANGES!!! Happy farming! PS I've just sent next Test Flight invitations!
Thanks for the update, finding the bubbles on animals very helpful. Also I keep thinking that we could do with a parking space for our tractor? Something you add or a decoration we can park it on and it stays there. I'm always seeing my tractor bashed around the farm by visitors. I also got a train that is asking for 4 cherries which is a lot given their grow time and it seems unfair to ask for that. Plus I can't send the train away early even though I won't complete it.
Along with my above post I wanted to add this picture. I purchased basically all of these from dream ranch I think maybe 1 was sold before I got there. But I didn't actually get any of them? When I was going from farm to farm visiting shops it kept saying +2 between every farm after I purchased some wood. Although I didn't get all that wood it kept saying I was getting but I'm wondering if it's some bug that stopped me getting those tools that I did purchase?
