@bspf the game has not been changed for the studio's own amusement. If you were to google "flash ending in 2020" you might get a sense that it is not just farm heroes that is having to make the change. Its not a whim or to annoy us. to be put simply, Flash is ending. No more Flash games. It will not be supported on ANY browser from 2020. Adobe are withdrawing their support completely and windows will not be using it either. It will not be available anywhere. Adobe say 17% only of games use it, what browsers and windows will tell you is that it has too many flaws leaving it vulnerable to being exploited (viruses and hacking) so its better off gone. It also means less flash crashes which drive me crazy, I cannot wait! A lot of King games have already switched. Its not a case of easily switching to a new format. It takes a lot of recoding, a lot of work and its like starting from scratch in some cases. I know another high flash using game has quit completely. Much to the horror of people who spent thousands of pounds. They have bought out a second version of that game, but it would take 4 years to recode all their items to move to the new version that's non flash.
Farm heroes could have the option of switching to mobile only, but they haven't. And html5 means we might see other exciting things happening as well. Who knows what they have planned. Facebook users have always been at the back of the line for anything as its easier on mobile. (They don't use flash there) so please, leave your opinion, the more helpful comments, the more the studio can learn what is working and isn't
Just a little reminder to give us as much information as you can, including what you like/don't like, what works, doesn't work and which browser you are using, thank you
Hi @BetsyC do you mean the boosters as in a shovel every 6 hours etc? I suspect that there are going to be things that are not working which is why the studio will need the feedback but I am sure they will be back

I've discovered the game works better on Firefox - I had been using Safari previously. At least with Firefox, I'm accumulating boosters again. I also discovered USING the boosters works differently. I wasted one because it didn't work the way I thought it did. I'll have to figure it out the next time I try to use one, I guess.
