How this version looked

Everything we've added to L.O.S Farms, newest first. Changes marked (from Jade) come from our friend Jade's work on the game server. See Credits for everyone whose work L.O.S Farms is built on.

October 1, 2026

Sneak peek: a Mac launcher

  • The L.O.S Farms launcher is coming to macOS. The Mac version is built and will run on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, with Flash built in like the Windows and Linux launchers.
  • We're finishing the last piece, Flash for Mac, before it goes up on the launcher page. We'll post here when it's ready to download.

Missing pictures

  • About 29,000 items that showed up as just a dark shadow now have their pictures back, including many Halloween decorations, animals and trees, and the clan event prizes. Their art was on the server all along but the game couldn't find it.
  • If something still looks like a shadow for you, reload the game. If that doesn't do it, clear the launcher's cache.
  • About 1,200 market items whose pictures aren't on the server at all have left the market for now, so nobody buys an invisible item. If you already own one, it stays on your farm.

A seasonal market

  • The market now follows the calendar for many more holiday sets. Christmas, Valentine's, Easter and other holiday collections from later years were showing all year round. They now come back on their holiday and leave afterwards, like the older ones already did. Right now that means Halloween sets are in and Christmas sets wait for December.
  • In-season holiday items count down to the end of their holiday (Halloween's run until November 3) instead of a far-off date.
  • Anything you already own stays on your farm.

Fewer pop-ups

  • The "Free Stuff! Subscribe to our daily gift email" window no longer pops up every time you log in. We don't send emails, so it couldn't give you anything anyway.

Market and mastery fixes

  • Buy back mastery signs. In the Mastery window, a crop, tree or animal you've mastered offers its sign again for 500 coins if you no longer have it. It now stays in your gift box after a reload.
  • Seed packages work. Buying super seed packages in the market (20 seeds each) now keeps them. Planting that crop uses one of your seeds instead of costing coins, including seeds from the Greenhouse.
  • Item licenses work. Market items that need a license can be licensed for Farm Cash, and the license now lasts its full time instead of disappearing on reload.

Travel farm treasures

  • Expanding a travel farm uncovers treasures again. Each expansion of Haunted Hollow, Hawaiian Paradise, Winter Wonderland, Jade Falls, Enchanted Glen, Atlantis, Australia, Celestial Pastures, Sweet Acres, Mystical Groves, Holiday Lights, Fields of El Dorado, Emerald Valley, Mediterranean Riviera, Oasis Gardens, Horseman's Hollow, Fairytale Fields and Toy Town adds that farm's tombs, snow gifts, flotsam, chests and rubble past the old fence.
  • Open them with tools (pickaxes, mallets, nets and so on, 1 Farm Cash each) or Complete Now. Each one turns into one of that farm's decorations, animals or trees, and gives you a tool toward the next.
  • Some expansions come with a free building, like Haunted Hollow's aviary, Jade Falls' orchard and Hawaii's water tractor.

Clan event fixes

  • Prize buildings are yours for good. The Lost City, Desert Monastery and Sky Temple are now given once. Finishing a map section again in a later round still gives that milestone's prizes, but not a second copy of the building.
  • Daily bonuses carry over. A prize building already on your farm keeps giving its free daily bonus in every new round. Before, a new round switched it off.

Clan event: Fortune Road

  • Fortune Road is back as a clan event that runs in two-week rounds. This round ends October 15, and the next one starts right after.
  • Clan Tokens: harvest the three ingredients in your clan window (every 2 minutes), then craft them into tokens or buy tokens for Farm Cash. You start with 7 Token Moulds. Ask your clan for tokens (5 asks a day), and earn a Stat Point for each token you give.
  • Join the event for 80 tokens. This gives you and your clan 80 Stat Points.
  • New tasks for your home farm: harvest crops, animals and trees, plow, plant, or hand in coins and bushels. Pick up to 3 tasks from your clan's board of 12 (easy, medium and hard).
  • Ask for help with a task, and a clanmate can take it for half the work. You each earn half the points.
  • Every task moves your clan along the treasure map. At each milestone everyone in the clan can claim a prize. Finish a map section to win the Lost City, the Desert Monastery and the Sky Temple, which each give a free bonus once a day.
  • A new round resets the board, points and prizes. Your tokens carry over.

Farmers Clans

  • Farmers Clans are here (level 5 and up). Look for the Farmers Clan button under your farm name.
  • Start a clan for 10 Farm Cash, or scratch the welcome card for a free one. Pick a name, a logo, and whether it's public or private.
  • Join a clan from the clan list, or search by name or clan ID. Public clans let you straight in; private clans send your request to the clan's owner. Clans hold up to 10 farmers.
  • Invite your neighbors, chat with your clan, and keep up with who joined in the clan news.
  • Clan events (team order boards and rewards) aren't running yet.

Growing contests

  • The Prized Pig, Dream Unicorn, and Social Sheep contests now work (level 15 and up). Buy a contest animal from its contest building, place it, and feed it its chow: it grows stage by stage (a pig can turn out good, bad, ugly, plump, or the town sheriff), and some animals change into a whole new animal as they grow.
  • An animal stops growing at its last stage, after 100 chow, or a week after you bought it. Then weigh it in: the more it ate and the sooner it finished, the higher the score and the bigger the prize (coins, XP, and chow back at the top tiers).
  • Chow comes from your Gift Box, or you can buy it with Farm Cash while feeding. Extra contest slots cost 25 Farm Cash.
  • Growing with a neighbor as a partner isn't available yet: animals are grown on your own.

Super Plots

  • Super Plots now work. New players get 4 free in their Gift Box. Use one on a plot to make it a Super Plot for good: seeds cost 5 times as much, and planting and harvesting give 5 times the coins, XP, mastery, and bushel progress (vehicles included).
  • Super Plots now stay super after a reload.

Treetop Fair

  • The Treetop Fair contest now works. Harvesting crops by hand can turn up mulch. Feed each tree its mulch, then enter it: winners move up a tier and go to your Gift Box, and when every tree passes a tier you win that tier's prize (5 Farm Cash at the top).
  • Lost an entry? You can buy the mulch back, or buy the win, for a little Farm Cash.

Free gifts

  • The free gift picker now shows the gifts you can send (198 of them).
  • You can send each gift to each neighbor once a day. Before, it was once ever.
  • Only giftable items can be sent as free gifts.

More fixes

  • Harvesting trees and animals with a vehicle now saves, with your coins.
  • Harvesting an evo cat now gives its feed.

Bushel Trader

  • The Bushel Trader now works. Trade 25 bushels for one bushel of your choice; it's ready after 3 hours, or right away for 1 Farm Cash.
  • You start with one trading slot. More open for 10 Farm Cash each, or by themselves after every 25 trades.
  • The Bushel Babies swap now works too.

Feline Evolution

  • Feline Evolution now saves your progress. Open an animal crate to get a baby cat, feed it, and grow it into one of two new cats, all the way to an elder cat (which comes with a new crate).
  • Buying feed, feeding, growing, and finishing early with Farm Cash are all kept after a reload. Before, nothing was saved.
  • Moving a cat to storage still resets its feeding progress, as the game warns.

Collections

  • Collectibles you find while harvesting are now kept. Before, they disappeared when you reloaded.
  • Trading in a finished collection now works, with its reward, coins, and XP. Collectibles in your Gift Box can be added to a collection, and you can buy the ones you're missing.

Crafting buildings

  • The Dairy, Yarn Barn, Sweet Shop, Apothecary, Horse Stable, Hollybright Park, and the elite horse stables now save your progress: crafting, harvesting, goods, unlocked stations and recipes, upgrades, bigger storage, and order boards with their rewards. Before, nothing in them was kept after a reload.
  • New order boards are dealt as you finish them, and stables with several animals open a new board for each one as you level up.

Fixes

  • Selling an animal from a breeding pen now saves and pays its coins.
  • Removing a neighbor in the game now works (it removes you from each other's lists).
  • Skipping a whole quest with Farm Cash now completes it, with its rewards.
  • Vehicle harvest and plow patterns are now remembered after a reload.
  • Throwing away bushels from your crafting storage now saves.
  • Making a building ready now with Farm Cash now saves.

September 30, 2026

Leagues are back

  • All twelve FarmVille leagues have been rebuilt, from The Pavlozny Festival to the Lakeside Yuletide Wreath Festival. Each has its own farm, daily orders, rewards, a weekly leaderboard, and a bonus building at the end.
  • Staff are testing them now and will switch them on one at a time. See Leagues for how they work and what's in each one.
  • League farms now show their full scenery (they used to load as a blank lot).

Fixes

  • Weekly leaderboards in every league now load; they failed before.
  • League days now turn over at the same time as the game shows (midnight US Eastern), so you get the right day's rewards.
  • The developer console can no longer be used by players to change their own coins, Farm Cash, or XP.

Discord

  • New #updates channel: every new entry on this page is posted there automatically.

Farmdex: catch FarmVille animals in Discord

  • Wild animals appear in our Discord while people chat, like Pokétwo but with FarmVille animals: more than 5,800 of them, with their real names and pictures from the game.
  • Name the animal to catch it with the Catch button or /catch. Stuck? Press Hint.
  • Animals come in five rarities, from Common to Legendary (dragons, unicorns, phoenixes), and there's a small chance of a ✨ shiny. Use /hunt to go shiny hunting for one animal.
  • Every animal has a level and three stats: Yield, Speed, and Charm. Your selected animal earns XP while you chat, and babies grow up at level 20 (foals into horses, calves into cows, and more).
  • Look after your collection with /animals, /animal, /farmdex, /select, /nickname, /favorite, and /release, and swap with friends using /trade and /giftanimal.
  • Earn Farm Cash for every new animal and every shiny, plus a care package for every 50 animals in your Farmdex.
  • Send an animal to your real farm: once a day, /sendtofarm moves a level 10+ animal to your in-game Gift Box.

More for our Discord

  • Chat levels: earn XP by chatting, check it with /rank, and see the most active farmers with /leaderboard → Chat level. Some levels come with a role.
  • Birthdays: set yours with /birthday and the bot wishes you a happy birthday with a 10 Farm Cash care package. See who's next with /birthdays.
  • Welcome cards: new members are greeted with a farm-themed card showing their picture, their name, and their farmer number.
  • Live stat channels show how many farmers we have and how many are playing right now.
  • /help lists everything the bot can do.

Privacy

  • The Privacy Policy now explains what the bot keeps for chat levels, the Farmdex, birthdays, and welcome cards. The bot notes that you chatted and where, never what you said.

September 29, 2026

Holiday events

  • Holiday items come back on their holiday. FarmVille's limited-time holiday items return to the in-game market each year and leave again afterwards, like they did in the original game. That covers 13 holidays: New Year's, Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, FarmVille's Birthday, the Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
  • About 2,250 items were matched to their holiday using the theme tags in the game's own files.
  • Staff can set each holiday to follow the calendar, stay on all year, or stay off, and can change its dates.
  • The Discord bot announces when a holiday event starts or ends, and /events shows what's on now and the next holiday event.
  • Anything you already bought stays on your farm when a holiday ends.

In-game shop

  • Staff can put almost any FarmVille item on sale, including retired and never-released items, at their own price, level, and end date, or hide items from the market.
  • Shop changes are built as a test version that staff check in the game before making it live.

Discord bot upgrade

  • New commands: /help, /link, /profile, /item (with autocomplete), /crops (best crops for your level), /events, /suggest, /bug, /poll, /giveaway, and /remind.
  • Suggestions and bug reports sent from Discord become forum threads.
  • Giveaways pay out as care packages.
  • Discord roles now follow your farm: a linked-farmer role, roles for site ranks, and opt-in ping roles for care packages, community goals, and events.
  • New members get a welcome message with how to link their farm.

Forums

  • Upload GIFs (they stay animated) and short videos (MP4 or WebM, up to 50 MB) to posts, as well as pictures. Upload limits are shown in the post box.
  • Fixed the emoji box getting stuck open.

Look and feel

  • The sign-in, password, and older staff pages now follow your chosen site theme.

September 28, 2026

Launcher and playing

  • Fixed signing in from the new launcher, which sent you to the website instead of the game.
  • The game now runs in the L.O.S Farms launcher. The Play buttons on the website open a page that explains how to get the launcher.
  • New maintenance and "page not found" pages.

Earn Farm Cash

  • Care packages worth 5 to 100 Farm Cash drop in Discord. The first farmer to click gets them.
  • Daily, weekly, and monthly rewards: /daily, /weekly, and /monthly in Discord.
  • More Discord games that pay Farm Cash.
  • Community goals: server-wide goals that start on a timer. Everyone who helps shares the reward.

Accounts and profiles

  • Sign in with email and password as well as Discord.
  • Upload your own profile picture and forum signature image.
  • FarmVille-themed rank tags for staff and community groups.

Community

  • Page discussions on the wiki: every page can have its own discussion thread.
  • A contact form for questions and requests.
  • More "unofficial fan project" notices around the site, so it's always clear L.O.S Farms isn't Zynga.
  • The Discord invite and links were updated.
  • The Discord bot now shows as online, with farm-themed statuses like "farming strawberries".

Rules and privacy

  • The Terms of Service, User Agreement, and Privacy Policy were reviewed and updated for email sign-in, rewards and care packages, cookies, and your data rights, and a Copyright Policy was added.

Behind the scenes

  • Separate Admin and Developer dashboards. The developer dashboard shows server health, system usage, and status checks for the game server and APIs.
  • Staff can choose which Discord channel gets each kind of post.
  • Server status is posted to more than one Discord server.
  • Backups were fixed.
  • Fixed a crash when viewing some staff profiles.
  • Fixed a game crash caused by an item with a broken price (the Double Coin Statue).
  • In-game photos are saved properly.
  • Better protection against spam sign-ups and bots.

Before L.O.S Farms: the game server (from Jade)

L.O.S Farms runs on Jade's improved FarmVille server, fv-replowed-jade. Jade's fixes are the reason the game plays properly: farms save correctly, quests finish, crafting works, and travel to other farms works. Highlights, newest first:

  • September 2026 (from Jade): travel between farms by level, and the Mistletoe Lane, Jade Falls, and Hawaiian Paradise terrain; each farm keeps its own currency and unlocks; garage equipment, vehicle plowing, and storage expansions save correctly; Hawaii prices fixed; stronger security for game requests; crash reporting; Discord ban enforcement; chat history kept.
  • August 2026 (from Jade): crops, harvest rewards, quests (including recipe, harvest, and mastery tasks), crafting cottages and silos, breeding pens, orchards, chicken coops, and the Greenhouse all save and load correctly; duplicate objects on farms fixed; farm expansions fixed; offline friend requests; the return-home button; player save export and admin save restore; Discord sign-in and account linking.
  • Summer 2026 (from Jade): the Docker setup that downloads the game's files from the Internet Archive automatically.

The full list is on Credits.
