FarmVille Rotatable Buildings Coming Soon?

FarmVille Tuscany Villa rotated
FarmVille Freak Martijn shared with us some exciting news concerning the ability to rotate buildings in FarmVille. One of the most common complaints about decorations and buildings is that they are "as is" and you cannot rotate them to fit your farm's design.

The good news is that Zynga already announced via an official Podcast that more rotations would be "coming soon". We all know that "coming soon" could mean days, weeks, or months in FarmVille, but FarmVille Freak Martijn may have found some proof of upcoming rotation improvements supporting that it may be very soon indeed.

FarmVille Freak Martijn has been a long-time FarmVille Freak and started his own FaceBook fan page that is dedicated to finding unreleased FarmVille items and features. You can check him out on FaceBook here: FarmVille Code Hunters aka The Men Who Stare at Codes
FarmVille Tuscany Castle and Tiki Giant Hut rotated

    "One of the most anticipated features still to come in Farmville is on it's way! Just recently Lexilicious mentioned in a podcast that we will soon have the ability to rotate our buildings.

    Today we found proof that the artistic development team made some progress towards this feature. Recent additions to the long list of buildings have all been now equipped with a left and a right side view. A Little disappointment here, they're not really rotated, but rather mirrored.

    We've taken the liberty to extract these images from the server files to show you some proof. So far, the first release of Tiki buildings and the last release of Tuscany buildings were found to have a left and right side view. No animated buildings that have this ability have been found yet.

    Look closely to the shadows on most of the buildings to see that these are really all seperate images. (The Tuscany church is the only one that shows no difference at all but there are indeed two images hidden in the gamefiles and the Tikibar still only has one viewing angle)

    There is no telling at this point when this feature will be available in the game. The artistic team has a long way ahead of itself, seeing that there are a lot of buildings already available in the game." – FarmVille Freak Martijn

Is FarmVille Coming Soon to Android?

After feeling left out and forgotten with the recent FarmVille iPhone collaboration that birthed exclusive virtual FarmVille items (see Snow Leopard) for iPhone's FarmVille application users, Android supporters finally have something to be happy about. FarmVille may be "coming soon" to Android!

Lots of naysayers said it couldn't be done with iPhone, Android, or any smart phone for that matter, yet the FarmVille application for iPhone was successfully released at the end of June.

So could FarmVille be coming soon to Android? Possibly! The URL www.farmvilleandroid.com was just recently registered by DNStination, which is the same registrant as FarmVille.com. As of yet there has been no official release made by Zynga or FarmVille, but this could be a good indicator of a future FarmVille and Android partnership. Worst case scenario, securing the FarmVilleAndroid.com domain name demonstrates FarmVille's interest in Android, even if it is just a placeholder for now.

It seems like a wise decision as there are many farmers who are non-iPhone users who would also love to have other options to satisfy their farming needs.

Would you like to see FarmVille available for Android?

FarmVille's Formula for Land Expansion

Ever wonder how FarmVille calculates the cost of land expansion?

Well, with the latest 26x26 land expansion being rolled out and currently available as a limited release, lots of farmers are wondering how the 2 million coins price tag for 26x26 land expansion is validated . Please note, not all farmers have access to the 26x26 expansion at this point. More users will gain access over the next few days and eventually everyone will have the 26x26 available in their FarmVille Market.

A FarmVille Freak came up with the following equation that FarmVille seems to have used for past, current, and future land expansions. He shared his equation via the official FarmVille Forum.

    "I've done the math, and the current price formula for expansions is ridiculous. I have determined this:

    14x14 -- 52 New Plots = 10,000 coins | ~192 coins per new plot
    16x16 -- 60 New Plots = 25,000 coins | ~417 coins per new plot
    18x18 -- 68 New Plots = 50,000 coins | ~735 coins per new plot
    20x20 -- 76 New Plots = 75,000 coins | ~987 coins per new plot
    22x22 -- 84 New Plots = 250,000 coins | ~2,976 coins per new plot
    24x24 -- 92 New Plots = 500,000 coins | ~5,435 coins per new plot
    26x26 -- 100 New Plots = 2,000,000 coins | 20,000 coins per new plot" (Ben MKM)

More details on the 26x26 Land Expansion:

    Can be purchased with 2 Million coins OR farm cash for 80 FV$.
    The coin option will require you to add 5 new FarmVille neighbors, unless you already have the maximum of 300 neighbors allowed.
    You must have a minimum of at least 35 FarmVille neighbors to purchase the expansion.
    Land Expansion is currently in a limited release, meaning only a certain percentage of farmers have access. FarmVille will be "slowly rolling out" the expansion to all players over the next few days.


How do you feel about the latest FarmVille Expansion? Is it too much? Does it matter? Will you purchase as soon as possible?

FarmVille Special Delivery Boxes get 'Open All' feature, save headaches

With the amount of Special Delivery Boxes that some FarmVille players have to open daily, unpacking them individually was becoming a lengthy chore. Thankfully, Zynga introduced a small update to the game recently that allows players to open every Special Delivery Box in their inventory at once, FarmVille Freak reports. With this new 'Open All' feature precious minutes have been restored to many players' short farming sessions.

However, this doesn't remedy the other problem with Special Delivery Boxes: high level players simply don't need them. A few months ago, there were players who expressed their disdain for the smart items because they simply were on top of their game and didn't need 500 extra Bricks, so to speak. Until that improvement comes, just be smart about who you're sending Special Delivery Boxes. If a player is over Level 100, you might help more by leaving them be or sending some Fertilize All.
