FarmVille Latest News
FarmVille Podcast – August 28th:
Hey Farmers and welcome to this week’s installment of the Official FarmVille Podcast! My name is Lexilicious and I am here to bring you all of the latest news and information about FarmVille from Zynga. This week, we will be discussing our latest releases and you guys will all be getting a sneak peek of things coming to FarmVille in the near future!
One of this week’s most exciting releases was the long awaited Pigpen feature. Pigpens are FarmVille’s newest constructable Animal Building that will allow you to store up to 20 of your Pigs at a time. If you are level 16 or above, you will be able to place the Pigpen foundation on your farm upon logging in. Alternatively, you can also purchase the Pigpen frame from the Market for 5,000 coins. In order to use your Pigpen, you’ll need to finish building it. Selecting ‘Look Inside’ from your foundation’s menu will show you what you need to complete your Pigpen.
Neighbors can send you the materials you need to construct your Pigpen from the Free Gifts Page, or you can click the “ask for more” button from the pen’s menu. When neighbors send you materials, they work exactly like any other free gift. After you accept the gift it will appear in your gift box. After clicking the “use” button under the gift it will automatically be added to your Pigpen.
Alternatively, if at any time during your construction process you decide that you’d rather simply purchase the materials required for the pen, you can do so by clicking the “Buy” button from the Pigpen’s menu. Every 24 hours, you’ll be able to collect from the pigs stored in your Pigpen and you may only have one pigpen on your farm at a time.
As I said in last week’s podcast, there will be additional functionality added to the Pigpen in the coming weeks. If you have any feedback you would like to share with us about the first version of Pigpens, please make sure to visit the official FarmVille forums and let us know what you think.
In addition to pigpens, Farmville’s newest feature allows you to proudly display your accomplishments! Crafting Recipe Mastery has just been released and will reward you will Experience Points, Coins and Mastery Signs for all of your Neighbors to see! Now, you don’t need to do anything extra to start gaining levels of crafting Mastery, you just need to continue making goods at your crafting building. As your recipe level increases, you will unlock greater levels of mastery, and get an XP and coin bonus for doing so. Of course many of you have already achieved fairly high levels with some of your recipes. The appropriate Mastery stars will be automatically awarded to you for each recipe, as well as the XP and Coin rewards that accompany those Mastery stars. Mastery signs will all be placed in your gift box. You’ll also get a pop-up notice of this the first time you open your Market Stall or Crafting Building. If you are looking for a little more information on how the details of this feature works, please make sure to visit the Game Updates section of the forums for more information.
And lastly, our first installment of the Wild West Theme made and appearance this week, bringing with is some great new animals, decorations and buildings for you to decorate your farm with. The Wild West theme looks very different from any other theme we have released in the past and it is perfect for our farmers who may have a little bit of a wild side.
Now before I get into our coming soon segment this week, our friends from the iphone FarmVille team wanted me to give all of you a quick reminder about the “where do you mobile farm” photo contest. This great event ends at 11:59 pm on August 31st and you can win up to 500 farm cash for participating! All you guys have to do is take a picture of yourself playing FarmVille on your mobile device and you can win big. Head on over to the FarmVille Mobile forums for more information on this event and make sure to participate while you can!
Alright! On that note, let’s go ahead and get into the part of the podcast I know all of you skip forward to hear… it’s time for a sneak peek as to what will be coming to FarmVille in the near future.
Well, first up this week is something I know our breeders will be very excited about… Nursery barn expansion will be making its way to Farmville in the coming weeks. Along with this will be a new Wild West themed Mystery Game and more Wild West items.
And lastly, we will soon have new and improved Neighbor visits for all of our players. With the new visit system, you will be able to do more on your friend’s farms besides fertilizing. Soon, you will be able to plow your Neighbors fallow plots, collect from their animals and harvest their trees.
When doing these actions on your Neighbors farms, you will gain coins and experience points for helping and your Neighbors will also receive the appropriate amount of XP and coins when they return.
Alright folks, well that’s it from me this week. I will be back next week with all of the latest news and information from around the farm. Again, my name is Lexi and I want to thank everyone for tuning in this week. Happy Farming everybody!

Still no option to keep the Ugly Duck w/o transforming. I want to get rid of that stupid pink candycorn over all of my Ugly Ducks.
[Reply]
no no no no one needs to mess up my system of harvesting my trees or my animals. I have them on a timed harvest!!!!!! The only area this should work on is in the co-op on fields only!!!!!
[Reply]
[Reply]
What if I don’t want particular places plowed up? What if I’m planning on reconstruction? Do we not have a way to block our neighbors from doing these events? I may not want something harvested.. plots or animals.. I WANT the control over when I post these items to my friends.. not someone else.. this is MY FARM.. geezzeee
[Reply]
[Reply]
I WILL BE DELETING MY NEIGHBORS IF THIS HAPPENS,,LIKE THE OTHER GUY NO NO NO ONE WILL TOUCH MY BABYS,,UNREAL NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
[Reply]
I foresee a problem with the plowing of fallow plots, harvesting animals and trees. Many have taken a lot of time to get their trees & animals on a schedule where they all become ready at the same time! And some people don’t want their trees harvested as they enjoy the fruits on the trees!! For those who force breed, they are going to be very unhappy about coming to their farm to find their ready horses unready!! BAD MOVE FARMVILLE
Boooooooooo
[Reply]
I’ve been trying to expand for about 1-1/2 weeks with no success and no help from Zynga!
[Reply]
I DO NOT WANT ANYONE WORKING MY FARM!!!!!!!!!!!! UNLESS I GIVE SPECIFIC PERMISSION TO THAT PERSON. I HAVE A SCHEDULE THAT I WORK ON THANK U VERY MUCH. IF I LEAVE A CROP IN LONGER IT MAY BE TO COINCIDE WITH THE TIME I’M AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO MY WORK SCHEDULE. IF IT WORKS ON THE PREMISE THAT WE DECIDE WHO WHAT WHERE AND WHEN THIS WOULD WORK
I THINK. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE THE COMMENTS ON THIS ONE. CT
[Reply]
U AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBOR WHOSE CROPS OR TREES U’LL HARVEST, BOTH WILL RECEIVE XP N COINS. NOT JUZ U!!
SO CHILL GUYS!
UR CROPS MIGHT NOT WITHER NOW!!
[Reply]
Why don’t the nursery and cow barns have pop up messages like the horse stable and coop?? It would be nice to know right away with a message indicating you either got something or not without having to sit there and wait.
[Reply]
i like the changes except allowing my neighbors to touch my plots.. also why cant we rotate our things yet?? it´s hard to place everything this way, oh maybe i should mention that i lost 40 cash playing that game where i was supposed to “earn prices for hitting a balloon”, did it mention anywhere that it took farm cash??
[Reply]
Would like to have a sheep barn or barn that holds spare animals,or a hay bale barn. Don’t really need the animals anymore on my farm though, I just like collecting cute ones. Love the cellars!!!!!! It is nice to finally have ample storage. Don’t like the special deliverys as it seems to be another form of 1/5 tank of gas which seems to be a waste of time. Loved the gemstone collection. I like keeping the valentine mailbox Christmas tree, and St. Patrick’s day rainbow because they are cute but they don’t go into my barns of which I have quite a few now, some I don’t know whether or not to get rid of because I spent all that effort upgrading them. Wish I could make other things in my spa but 4 items.
[Reply]
hi the most exciting things to give to yield from pigpen xps or diffrent shapes of pigs like the thing going on in foals
[Reply]
I agree with Sylvia. I’d prefer to harvest my own farm. I have a system too.
[Reply]
I so agree with Sylvia! Stay away from my farm! I’m the only one who will decide if my animals and trees should be harvested or not. OMG, I have a system in these things!!!
Does FV really have to go the same way as that stupid (!) FrontierVille? If you want to harvest your neighbours farm, play Frontier, not FarmVille!
If we follow this road, before we know it we’re clobbering foxes and bears in our garden… Ieuw! You know, there is a reason I play FarmVille and not
FrontierVille!
Again, this is not good! I don’t want it!
[Reply]
In addition, if you do proceed with allowing neighbors to harvest crops, please install a disable feature for those of us who prefer to play our own games, please. Thank you!
[Reply]
yippee can’t wait to be able to do more things on my friends farms; hopefully my work will give a payoff to me for being a helpful neighbor and to my friend they should also get something but the person doind the work should profit more.
[Reply]
I agree harvest my own crops and tend my own animals and farm after all it is mine to build and have fun with.
[Reply]
I DO NOT WANT ANYONE HAVESTING MY FARM OR ANYTHING ON IT I LIVE MY FARM THE WAY IT IS.I LIKE TO KEEP TE FRUIT ON MY TREES THAT IS WHY SOME OF MY TREES I PAID FARMVILLE CASH FOR. I DO NOT LIKE THIS AND IF I HAVE TO I WILL NOT HAVE ANY NEIGHBORS I WILL DELECT THEM ALL.
[Reply]
Wish there were not so many clicks to send gifts and receive gifts. Then waiting for the farm to load back again.
[Reply]
I don’t want to walk someone farm
It takes to long to work it now and if you have a lot of people to work well you are looking at about 3 hours to get done
I think you should make the person a box to stay in
One which someone can move if the need to
I don’t want someone harvesting my farm
My Tuscan Cow is still missing
[Reply]
upgrade to dairy barns i had to restart a few of mine 4 to five times before they upgraded. i bought 5 more to hold all my cows, all but one now hold 40.
i will be glad for an upgrade to the nursery barn, we need a sheep shed and goat barn too. also more than one chicken coop/disabled for mystery eggs
[Reply]
i like the larger farm for moving things around but no volume(space) was gained had to sell all my colts and white chickens.
[Reply]
If you allow neighbor harvest without a disable feature, I’ll just delete neighbors or just quit the game. I like the surprises of harvesting my own farm. Otherwise, what’s the point?
[Reply]
Can also cancel Zynga account and e-mail. Do NOT like the new feature at all.
[Reply]
NO!!! I want to harvest my farm all by myself! System, schedule, etc. Great…now there will be neighbor wars. No more nice Farmville…no neighbors unless you can disable this feature. Come on Zynga…what were you thinking?
[Reply]
If they allow others to plow Harvest our animals and crops WTH is the point of playing… It will all ready be done for you.. Not to mention will they have access to use of our coins farmcash crafting builds… this is going to be the end of farmville if this is not completely controlled. I will stop playing if 1 single thing is moved on my farm… Thats the point MY FARM… Not my neighbors or a friend who click a fert post to get to my farm… This is sooooooooo wronge in SOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOO MANY WAYS…..
[Reply]
I do not want anyone touching my farm….. I have worked too hard on it and have a system set up to match the time I have on here. There won’t be any reason for me to play……… Why bother having our own farms
[Reply]
Where do all the coins go that we make from selling goods once the wineries and such are fully upgraded?
[Reply]
No one should be allowed to plough and harvest someone elses farm without their permission.
[Reply]
i do not want others harvesting my things- this is crap-we breeders work hard for all to enjoy and this will not work -i will be very upset-this is a good way to run your players off
[Reply]
As far as the ugly duckling goes…Mark..when you click on the pink candy corn..your ud turns into a beautiful swan.
Please don’t have anyone else work our farms…it is the way we want them.
Also, we desperately need to up grade our farms to at least 40 x 40 or 50 x 50…PLEASE<3.
Also, please, let us be able to upgrade our horse building as well as our nursery, chicken coop and dairy barns.
One last thing..let us be able to rotate our buildings to fit our farms.
Love you Lexilicous
[Reply]
Suggestion: Could you please bring back the ability to see the crops that have been planted on neighbors’ farms? When I fertilize now, I can’t click on anything to see what it is, except crafting building. I would like to see what my neighbors have planted so I don’t plant the same thing, especially when a group of us making wine have a strategy. Thanks.
