Hi There,

1. 29 New People: 10 farming people as gifts. 19 in the People category in the store. Also as gift there is a new 'Magic Wand Stars' decor. The 5 animals at the top of the gifts page were moved to the store.

Super Neighbours can now plant your farms: There is a new check box 'Allow Planting' in the Edit Super-Neighbour window that will grant permission to the Super-Neighbour to plant crops in your farm. He/she will be making the decision of what to plant, the coins will be deducted from the farm owner's account and the farm owner and the Super-Neighbour will earn 2 XP for each field planted.

Access to the manure spreader, mobile sprinklers and stored product amount of the farm owner should be added on the next release.

Cooperative design will be enabled on the next release.

4. 16 x 16 Tree Shaker and Flower Harvesters: Tree Shaker and Flower Harvesters are now available in 16 x 16 mode, this will allow you to perform farming operations over 256 trees or flowers at a time.

To reuse some colors and add more uniformity with the crop tools, the old 8 x 4 yellow Tree Shaker and red Flower Harvester are now orange. The new 16 x 16 Tree Shaker and Flower Harvester are both yellow.

5. Belt and Dans for the next 10 Facilities: Pet Accessories Factory, Reading Accessories Factory, Trading Post Supplies Factory, Courthouse Supplies Factory, Vegan Supplies Factory, Library Supplies Factory, Physiotherapy Equip.

8. Groups of Farms filter in Facility Manager: In addition to the 'Current Farm' and 'All Farms', you can now use this new filter to select the specific farms containing the facilities that will be shown in the facility manager and that will be Started or Loaded when using the Start All and Load All buttons.
