Huge Craftshop Update Now Live! [Slow Rollout]

We are extrememly excited to announce that because of your helpful feedback, we were able to complete a full overhaul of the Craftshop and incorporate many of your suggestions! Thank you so much for your ideas, and we hope you enjoy the newly remodeled Craftshop!
And yes...this new version should be a lot faster than the old one!

Accessing the Craftshop
Like the Dairy and Yarn Barn, the Craftshop is now accessible on any of your Farms (except Hanging Gardens) from the menu at the bottom of your screen:
Craftshop2.0_access

If you don't already have the Craftshop placed on your Farm, you will automatically go into Placement Mode and place a Craftshop. Once you have a Craftshop placed, you can access the feature either by clicking on the Craftshop on your Farm or the Craftshop button in the menu.

Finding Recipes
Recipes are now sortable in a variety of ways. You can sort alphabetically, by craft time, or by how recently a recipe was added:
Craftshop2.0_sort
You can also click on the tabs in the Craftshop to only see a certain recipe category:
Craftshop2.0_tabs
Note that recipes under the "Specials" tab are Limited Edition and will be changed out, so keep checking back to see new cool things to make!
Crafting Recipes
To make any recipe in the Craftshop, simply click "Make It" to see a Recipe Card with all the ingredients required. To get bushels for that recipe, click "Get Ingredients" or "Buy Ingredients."

When you're looking at the Parts tab in the Craftshop, note that you can mouse over any of the recipes to see what that part belongs to, in case you forgot:

Crafting Stations
You can now unlock up to 8 Crafting Stations to craft up to 8 items at a time--and you can do it just by gathering parts from your friends! Your Crafting Stations are located in the top portion of the Craftshop window:
Craftshop2.0_stations
Click on "Expand Now" under a station to start gathering parts to unlock it. To unlock a station, you'll need to get 5 of each of these parts from your friends:

Other Craftastic Highlights:
  • Make Vials of Sunlight and Magic Mushrooms to clear Trolls from Enchanted Glen!
  • Make tons of cool decorative buildlings for your Farm, like the Swiss Manor or Asian Pavilion!
  • Lots of special animals can be made from the Specials tab. Make dragons, pegasi, and mini horses to name just a few!
We hope you enjoy this update! Happy Crafting!
