Support the Big'uns!

Are your bigger animals getting jealous of the chicken coops and livestock pens? Have you found an Ox trying to make a den or a mule in your shed? Well never fear, we're going to have the chance to put a roof over the head of our bigger animals as well with the Big Barn upgrade!

Barn Missions will appear at the same time as the upgrade option, all the details are HERE.

You start the barn upgrade by clicking the barn in the usual way and selecting "Upgrade", this will then popup a message from Humble Bob letting you buy the upgrade and place a tarp over the barn while you do the work.

Unlike previous buildings two of the six building materials for the upgrade will be familiar to all of us, the good old bricks (20) and tins of paint (15)! Beyond that you'll need 15 each of Blankets and Beams which are requested directly from friends and 10 each of Stalls and Silo's that are got via wall posts.

Once the barn is completed you'll then get an expanded menu, an about screen and... the chance to store baby, STORE!

The limits to the new barn are 1000 of each type of animal, horse, mule, ox and cow, so quite a lot more space to be had on your frontiers!

Collecting the daily bonus on the barn will spawn some XP or gold but will also give you the chance of an animal. There's a 40% chance of getting a Horse, Mule, Ox or Cow (10% chance on each) or an 8% chance of a special limited animal, White Mule, White Horse, Red Ox or Jersey Cow (2% chance on each) which will possibly give energy when tended!

It'll also drop it's own collection, so we'll be saying bye-bye to the barn collection. But never fear, instead of the Animal Harvest Boost of the Barn Collection we'll be picking up a sawhorse and TWO Animal Harvest boosts :D

Oh, and finally, the obligatory badge for storing animals!

New trees!

Along with the Orchard (all information HERE) we'll be seeing SIX new trees...

Three of these will be variants of current trees, the sour cherry, green apple and white peach. We believe these give the same rewards and bonuses as the current trees, just with different graphics to vary things up and needing spring water to grow.

However we'll also be seeing three new premium trees that will be buyable in the market AND growable in the Orchard with spring water that can drop from the Water Well...

Water Table... How much each tree will require

Tree	First Tend	Second Tend
Sour Cherry	1 Spring Water	2 Spring Waters
Green Apple	1 Spring Water	2 Spring Waters
White Peach	1 Spring Water	2 Spring Waters
Raspberry Bush	2 Spring Waters	3 Spring Waters
Plum Tree	2 Spring Waters	2 Spring Waters
Almond	1 Spring Water	2 Spring Waters

These new premium trees also come with their own collections!

What do you think of the new trees? What other variations would you like to see? Come give your feedback on our Facebook Page!

Tree-mendous amounts of storage...

It's been a long time coming but it's finally here, another of our most wanted features... the Orchard!

Yes, once you've built this new building on your homestead you have a chance (with upgrades) to store ONE THOUSAND fruit trees and bushes!

It'll also be introducing six new trees! For all the information on those go HERE.


It'll all begin with the now-familiar popup introducing the feature and bringing up the mission thread (details HERE)

Once you click to place it, it'll be the traditional few whacks and then the finish screen with another 6 new building items the top three are wall requests, the bottom three direct requests. Now, more on this later but you'll  want more of these than just the first set, so don't be afraid of clicking and requesting as much as you can!

Once you've built it the usual menu options are there along with an "about" dialog...

As you can see, there's an upgrade option. Initially the Orchard will store 250 trees, but you'll then be able to upgrade it another three times, with the same building materials as the first build and each one will give you another 250 space each expansion, finishing off with 1'000 trees storable.

All the rest of the mechanics work the same as the chicken coops and livestock pens, with a feeding option and a chance to view and remove trees from your inventory.

It's also got, as usual, it's own collection...

More on the Orchard and new trees as and when we get it! Give us your thoughts on the new feature on our Facebook Page!

Daffy Ducks - New Injured Animals (ANIMATED)

Time to find yourselves some new injured animals! These ducks will appear when chopping both types of lumber trees or feeding chickens and geese. When you have them on your Homestead they'll take the traditional critter milk to fix up right as rain (off a duck's back)...and then they will reward you with 18XP and 250 Coins every 24 hours.

Bess Gets Romantic

It seems that Hank has picked Fanny to be his beau and Bess is a little upset... But don't you be worrying, a big strong soldier is coming along to help her heart!

Take part in the five ROMANCE MISSIONS to get a chance to give Bess a token of Captain Flintlock's esteem, his best pony, Black Star!

Once you find the impressive black horse in your barn as part of the missions Bess will need a darn good hand to help tame it so you'll need to get some good strong farmhands to bring the horse to heel...

Once it is Bess can, from then on, be seen riding her new black pony with the smile of the truly loved! Let's hope Hank has a good gift in mind for Fanny, don't want her getting jealous... ;)

Do you like the pairing and Bess' new horse? Let us know on our Facebook Page!

Bottoms up!

The sawdust crunches under your feet like fresh snow as you walk across the floor, some sticking to your soles as you go. The piano player in the corner winds down as he realises the silence that fell as you walked through the door, all the eyes following you as you walk across the floor, the clop of boots on wood resounding in the quiet as you lean on the counter and speak...

"Two pints of Fosters, one vodka cranberry, an orange juice and 4 chicken nuggets and chips for table 27 please... do you bring it over?"

Yes folks, your evening out on the Frontier is all set as we open the latest Saloon in our countrywide chain on YOUR homestead! Come along and sample all the concoctions that our talented bartenders can make that'll cheer you up on those gloomy evenings and give you the energy to keep on going!

(We'll also be keeping you busy with a full range of four missions, all the info for them there things is HERE)

Once you get the offer to build yourself a Saloon be sure to place the building or, if you need to do a little civic engineering to find the space, you can find that there building in the market later.

Pop down the base and give it a fair few whacks and it'll build up the frame then you'll be after a few new building supplies to finish it off! You can ask folks directly for chandelier parts, highball glasses and swinging doors (y'all need 15 of them due to how many times they get busted off their hinges in a fight...). Cue balls, barstools and lucky dice y'all have to stick up a poster on your wall asking for them.

Please note the company takes no responsibility for losses gambling with non-official dice.

Once your saloon is built our highly talented and experienced bar staff will will give you the chance to get your hands on some of their special brewing creations to help you on your homestead. Please note that as Franchise owner you will be responsible for providing our staff with the required ingredients and some drinks are only available after a specific MISSION has been passed.

Drinks Menu

Granny's Gut Punch

Made with iced tea and Granny's No. 5 special ingredient, Granny's Gut Punch is just the thing to enhance your experience of the world around you and sharpen your senses to everything. This drink is both strangely comforting and uniquely spicy and will double up all the experience you get for a hefty four hours until the drink wears off and you'll be chasing up our staff for another of those extra special mixes from the desk of Granny.

Please note side effects include an increase in blood flow causing reddening of the skin, a loss of balance and temporary short term memory loss.

Quick Draw Quaff

Merging the natural tastes of oat syrup and the freshest of filtered water collected each morning from the horse trough a crystal clear mountain spring in a secret location this drink refreshes the parts that other drinks either can't, or don't wish to go near. Its thick barley taste may remind some of Irish stout and others of  the time they chewed a mouthful of roofing insulation for a bet. Whichever it feels like to you it'll energise you in ways you've never felt before and let you do five times the work for your energy as usual for an entire hour!

Please note side effects include a yellowing of the skin, a loss of balance and temporary blurred vision, if blurring lasts more than 14 days contact a doctor.

Green Lightning

A confusing combination of two flavours that shouldn't work, and yet do. Although the clash of freshness from the Varmint Julep and the heady hot spice of the mule kick mix gives you the impression of a mad battle in your tastebuds it soon becomes an attractive chaos that invigorates your brain through your tongue and gives you the impression of having sucked upon a leaking battery. For two hours the electric buzzing in your head will speed up EVERYTHING you do on your homestead, it's also the only drink that will freshen your breath, kill off harmful bacteria in your mouth and remove the enamel from your teeth.

Please note side effects include a green tint to the skin, a loss of balance and, due to the quickening nature of the concoction, increased possibility of bedroom disappointment.

The drink ingredients can be collected in mission rewards, requested from friends or sent as a gift from your free gifts page, everyone will have two random ingredients from the six!

When you craft a drink or find one in the saloon Daily Bonus you may find too many in which case it's time to buy a round!

Keep getting those drinks made up and you'll be on your way to getting some badge rewards!


Badge 1 - Drink 3 Drinks - Reward: 500 coins 100XP
Badge 2 - Drink 15 Drinks - Reward: 2'000 coins 300XP
