Early October Game Update

As of 13 October, this update now should be live on ALL platforms.

I think that once they sort out this colossal nightmare and every one has an update on every platform that WORKS, players will find some of the new options helpful.  Please note that I initially made an error in terminology, and that the products I called 'Essences' actually are 'Materials'.  Essence is nothing more than the new name for Liquid Fertiliser.

Among the new options, we now have the ability to feed Pets to capacity with the tap of a single icon, the ability to set Pets to open all Chests automatically, the ability to refresh Coffee House orders individually, new Community Techs that increase the odds of obtaining rare products or of receiving double products... I have described all options in detail below.

Note from Freyashawk:  I am going to ask for your patience and understanding with respect to site updates.  I must undergo two procedures for cancer on the 9th, four hours in the operating theatre minimum... I will do what I can here, but it is going to be a difficult time.

There are a few elements that are clear:

You can set your Pets to open Chests automatically.  The same switch used to serve guests automatically will accomplish this.  Tapping on a new tab to the left of the feeding tabs that existed before simply feeds the Pets to maximum level instantly, but that is a very welcome addition to the business of dealing with the Pets.

Note that you still must collect the Chest contents manually and if you do not do that in a timely manner, new Chests still will not appear, rather like the situation before this automatic option was added to the game.

New Farm Birthday Setting
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There is a new Neighbour setting that is entitled 'Birthday Neighbours'... from what I understand, it simply creates a list in chronological order of those neighbours who will have birthdays in the near future.

Refreshing Coffee House Orders
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You now can refresh Coffee House Orders individually.  This is really an improvement!

Furthermore, if you set a Pet to search for a rare item and it fails to find it, on occasion, you may see a new option to Share Request in Community.  Your request then will appear in Community Chat and any one with the item can send directly to your farm to be used in Coffee House!

Helicopter Orders
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It looks as though the Dev Point value of Helicopter Orders, even without the new Community Tech, has been raised.  The first three orders of the day have a value of 15 Points now instead of 10.  After this, the value is 5, not 10.

New Research Lab Topics
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are new categories now in the form of Animals and Machines.  To even see them, you must tap on 'Change Research Topic'.

At the moment, the change is Free, even if you have changed more than once previously.

Note here that both Zoology and Mechology Techs are unlocked progressively in order.  You cannot skip one and move to another as you can with Treeology for example, where you can choose one fruit over another to unlock.  Here you must unlock each for the next to become available.

The developers have given a temporary option to switch techs repeatedly without charge until 16 October I believe.

You will find the original Research Lab topics, upgrades and so on here:

Research Lab Cropology, Treeology, Upgrades and Recipes

How the New Techs Work
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The new Techs are listed below with the Upgrade material lists and requirements but essentially, they both operate with an entirely new product type called 'Materials'.   At the same time, they have renamed the Liquid Fertiliser.  In fact, 'Essence' simply is the new name of the old Liquid Fertiliser.  When you use the Active Animal Tech, Wild Hunger, on one of the designated Animals, you will receive specific Animal Materials.  When you use the 'Out of Nowhere' Machine Active Tech on any designated Machine, set to one of the products that accepts the Tech, you will receive specific Machine Materials that are linked to that Machine with the random products that are associated with the operation of this Tech.   There is a new section in the Lab Storehouse for these Materials.  Materials then must be processed before they can be used.

Materials are useless until they are processed.   They are the equivalent of Seeds but instead of planting them, you simply tap 'Process' while they are still in the Storehouse, using the Liquid Fertiliser to perform the transformation.  They then become materials that can be used to cook new special dishes in the Storehouse.  Personally I would rather have one of the old Cropology or Treeology Topics, but will continue with the new ones until the guide is complete.  I now have unlocked all of the Animal and Machine Techs, but have not upgraded them yet.  My short supply of Blue Mystrons prevents me from unlocking any more of the new Recipes at this point in time but I will forge ahead as quickly as I can.

Cost of using Essences to process Materials
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I had not paid sufficient attention initially to the fact that the cost of processing any material is specific to THAT material.

For Mechology, for example, the cost of processing Gluten is far less than that of processing Dark Brown Sugar.

Gluten: 5 Energy Essence to process 2 Gluten Material into a single Gluten
Whey: 9 Energy Essence to process 2 Whey Material into a single Whey
Toast: 9 Energy Essence to process 2 Toast Material into a single Toast
Grape Seed Oil: 9 Energy Essence to process 2 Grape Seed Oil Material into a single Grape Seed Oil
Dark Brown Sugar: 11 Energy Essence to process 2 Dark Brown Sugar Material into a single Dark Brown Sugar
Beef Jerky: 11 Energy Essence
Dried Rose Petal: 11 Energy Essence

Thus, to be able to upgrade any of these Techs, you need the Material AND the actual processed item.  You may have more than enough of the Material and still have to wait to replenish your Energy Essences before you can process the actual item.

Note here that there is a new category of Material that must be processed for use in recipes...   basically we must process food now.  Essences are required to actually perform this, but Essence ins nothing more than the new name for Liquid Fertiliser.  For example, you need 5 Energy Essences to process the Drumstick Material for the Recipe.

Go to the Lab Storehouse where you will find a new section for all of these Essences or Materials.  Choose 'Process'.  One Drumstick Material costs 5 Liquid Fertiliser to process and will create 1 Drumstick.

Mechology Research Topic
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Essentially, the Out of Nowhere Tech, which is the Active Tech, will give you a number of totally random products whenever you use most Machines and set it to any Product.  There are exceptions, however... for example, you cannot set a Cheese Master or Fast Cheese Maker to Goat Cheese and then use the Tech on it.

You do receive the specific new Material needed by using the specific Machine but you will receive random products as well.

For example, needing Gluten, I used 'Out of Nowhere' on the Dutch Mill with the setting on Oat
Flour.  I received 2 Gluten Material as well as 1 Wheat Flour, 1 Wine, 1 Rice Flour, 1 Buffalo Milk Cheese, 1 Rye Flour and 3 Oat Flour.  The Gluten Material, however, is random as well!  Got 2 Gluten Material for one use, none for the second and 1 for the third.

To make Gluten from Gluten Material, go to the Lab storehouse to find the Gluten Material and then tap on 'Process'.  You need 2 Gluten Material to make 1 Gluten.  Cost of processing each is 5 Liquid Fertiliser oddly enough.

To change to this for the first time is Free.

Freyashawk and Out of Nowhere
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Even at Level 1, I notice that no ingredient is required to use Out of Nowhere on any Machine where it can be applied.  Furthermore, apart from the random products I receive each time, I receive 5 of the intended product.  For example, using Out of Nowhere on the Dutch Mill for Rye Flour, I received 5 Rye Flour even at Level 1, as well as the various other products and no Rye was used.  Using Out of Nowhere with the Buffalo Milk Cheese setting on the Cheese Master, I received 5 Buffalo Milk Cheese.  At that point in time, I only had 1 Buffalo Milk in Barn and there it remained intact.  So it is kind of a Super Gold Finger, but only for the Machines and products that accept it.

Community Updates
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In Community:

You can claim rewards on a timer, much like the Rewards given by Darryl's House now.

Note:  The four bars will be filled evidently if you have participated, however small your participation in all of your Community Challenges and Achievements during the past week.

You can donate RC to the Community to gain both Gems and Reputation Medals.  The maximum is 5 RC per week.

Town Office:

This is a new Building with a persona who deals with the new Techs.

Important:  Any Gems used to unlock Techs will be deducted from the total needed to raise your Community Level.  In other words, I set my own Community back significantly by using Community Gems to unlock the Techs so I could complete this guide.

Some of the Techs are better than others.  For example, the Explorer Tech actually increases the amount of Power that you will be able to harvest from the Island Volcano.  At Level 3 upgrade, you should receive an additional 3 Power each time you harvest from the Volcano.

The Fisherman Tech, on the other hand, is a little more flawed in my opinion.  It only slightly increases the chances of obtaining a rare bonus product from SOME of the items processed in the Seafood House.  I will compile a full list but as an example, you have no increased chance of receiving anything when you process Gulfweed.

Furthermore, the usefulness of any Tech may depend on the progress and levels of your own Community Members.  With maximum Dev Points, the Pilot Tech, it appears to me, is without use.  The Businessman Tech that increases the amount of Sea Resort Points from any Order is at present rather pointless if you have reached the Maximum Level 11 in the Sea Resort!  It may be more useful when they release new areas and increase the Maximum Level... so talk about it with your Members before you use all the Community Gems on these Techs!

It is in the Town Office that the new Community generated Techs can be unlocked by a Leader or Vice Leader as follows:

On the Seaside Farm, the Fisherman Passive Tech costs 6200 Community Gems to unlock.  At Level 1,  some of the 'rare' items in the Seafood House will have their drop rates increased by 2%.  Each upgrade costs 85 Reputation Medals.  At Level 2, the chance improves to 4%.  At Level 3, it becomes 6%.  When you access any item in the Seafood House, you should see a little green addition to the wheel percentage that indicates the Tech's effect.

On the Island Farm, the Explorer Passive Tech costs 9400 Community Gems to unlock.  At Level 1, it increases the Volcano's Power production by 1 Power.  Each upgrade to this tech costs 125 Reputation Medals and increases the Volcano's Power Production by 1.  Thus, if you have a Level 3 Community and upgrade the Tech to Level 3, you should receive 9 Power each time you harvest from this Volcano.

On the Island Farm, the Pilot Passive Tech costs 9400 Community Gems to unlock.  At Level 1, it gives double the amount of Dev Points from a Helicopter Order 1 time per day.

On the Island Farm, the Designer Passive Tech costs 9400 Community Gems to unlock.  At Level 1, you have a 5% chance of obtaining double items from the Hardware Store and Sawmill.  Each upgrade to this tech costs 125 Reputation Medals,  At Level 2, your chances increase to 10%.  At Level 3, to 15%.

At the Sea Resort, the Businessman Passive Tech costs 14000 Community Gems to unlock.  At Level 1, this increases the Amount of Resort Points you can earn from Resort Orders by 5%.  Each upgrade to the tech costs

Each upgrade of the Fisherman Tech costs 85 Medals.

Here are two screenshots showing products respectively that are and are not affected by the Tech.

The Tech is at Level 3.  As you can see, Gulfweed does not get any improvement in the rare bonus product, but Seaweed does.

Once the Tech is unlocked, the Community Member must pay Reputation Medals to upgrade Level of said tech.

Each upgrade of the Explorer Tech costs 125 Reputation Medals.  Our Community is at Level 3 at present, and the highest upgrade I could manage was Level 3 for any Tech.

This is a Sea Resort Tech and is the most costly.  The price to unlock it is 14000 Community Medals.

(I did not unlock this one.)

Colourful Holiday Quest and Geta Collections Mission

The subject of the new Quest sequence is the Ramen Museum... a place like this only could exist in Japan.  It is an interactive Museum devoted to Ramen.  Another name for it is the 'Instant Cup of Soup Museum'.  An extraordinary experience, I imagine, with a room that has a ceiling that mimics the heavens, from sunset sky to blue sky dotted with clouds.  there is a Ramen Tunnel and walls covered with various commercial instant ramen offerings.  Here are some photographs:

Above are photographs that show various ceiling displays.  Here below are some of the booth and wall displays:

The new time-restricted Quest is paired with another Collections Mission that gives a Stove House Recipe as a Reward.  For those who are not willing to go through the agony of completing a Collections Mission, it is good to know that, once the Mission has expired, the Stove House Recipe probably will become available in the Market in the same fashion as the last one that was given as a Mission reward.

Collections Set
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Collections Sets now are found in the Lighthouse but still consist of three different items.  The Collections Set for this particular Quest is as follows:

Festival Lantern Decoration
Elegant Lantern Decoration
Toy Machine

Once you have registered all three in the Gallery, claim the Collections Set by accessing the Lighthouse.  It will be the first icon and the rewards are:

1 RC, 88 Green Mystrons, Clam Friendship Flower

Geta Collections Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Collect Geta

Collect 70 Purple Geta from Cane
  Note that you will need 40 Cane to produce Sugar as one of the Quest tasks.

Collect 50 Green Geta from White Wine

Collect 30 Black Geta from Black Bread

Collect 10 Pink Geta from Kumquats
  Note that you will need Kumquats for a Recipe included as a Quest task.

Reward: Dipping Noodles with Seafood Sauce Stove House Recipe

As previously indicated, there is a new tab in the Market for Stove House Recipes.  The Happy Summer Smoothie, a Reward for an earlier Collections Mission, now is sold there for 12 RC.  It is expected that this one will become available once the current Quest expires, probably for the same price.

Special Items Needed for Quest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Some of the special items you will need for the following Quest sequence tasks include a Toy Machine, a Sakura Tree, a Matcha Tree and a Kumquat Tree.  The Sakura Tree, the Matcha Tree and Kumquat Trees are premium Trees, although they can be found randomly in the Green Mystrons Shop.

Note that, with the advent of the E-Mart and Flea Market, you can find the fruit of premium Trees at another farmer's stall...  One of the benefits of belonging to a Facebook group such as Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk is that I keep active threads for farmers to state their needs.  You can request the fruit of the Matchat Tree, Kumquats or Sakura Flowers now from a group member if you do not have the Tree yourself.  (Only one premium item can be sold on a stall at a time, however.  There is a time restriction as well, but it still is possible to obtain the premium items you need in this fashion.)

The Toy Machine usually is NOT available for purchase in the ordinary Market but has been added temporarily for 8 days at the price of 800 Coins.  Note that when purchased, it will be incomplete.  To complete one, you will need the following:

5 Gears (request from Neighbours)
5 Screws (request from Neighbours)
1 Filter (1 RC)
3 Switches (3 RC each)

Your total cost in RC therefore will be a minimum of 10 RC...  do not pay RC for the Gears and Screws as they are Free Gifts from any Neighbour if you request them.
