FarmVille: Sheep Breeding Level 30 unlocks 50 Sheep slots

How's that for a reward, eh? FarmVille Feed has discovered while Sheep Breeding in FarmVille that Level 30 unlocks a very special prize: another 50 slots for your bred Sheep. Players have cried out for more space for their little woolly friends, and finally with a little work we'll get it.

Well, make that a lot of work. It doesn't necessarily solve the storage issue with Sheep Breeding, but it sure is a nice band-aid.

However, it does appear that there is room for more slots, but they're locked at the moment. (There's still hope!) Until then, breed away, and hoard those Love Potions.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Cool, legit Pig Breeding patterns incoming

by Joe Osborne, Posted May 25th 2011 12:20PM

If you thought the previously illegal Sheep Breeding patterns in FarmVille were awesome, check these upcoming Pig Breeding patterns and colors. And better yet, they will all be 100 percent legit--once release, of course. FarmVille Feed has found several screen shots of upcoming Pig patterns including checkers, swirls, hearts and more. However, it appears that they will be gradually unlocked through, well, breeding Pigs.
At certain milestones, like Level 5, 10, 20 and so on, new patterns will become available either in the Market or elsewhere. If this new feature goes down well enough, you wouldn't be wrong to expect a similar version to come to Sheep Breeding as well. FarmVille Feed estimates that Zynga will offer plenty of Farm Cash options to instant level up and unlock the new patterns, and we wouldn't put it past them either. You better bet we'll be all over this once it does release.

FarmVille: Sheep Breeding changes again with official release of two new patterns

by Brandy Shaul, Posted Apr 28th 2011 1:08AM

Well, that didn't take long. Just a day after putting their foot down about illegal sheep and pig breeding in FarmVille, Zynga has backed off a bit with an official announcement on the FarmVille forums, that details the release of two new official patterns to the game, allowing you to get back to breeding some of those colorful (and neatly patterned) Lambs.

The two new patterns are camouflage and stars, and they come by way of the Purple Camo Ram and the Purple Stars Ram, both available to purchase in the store for 30 Farm Cash each. A high price, yes, but one that's totally avoidable if you already have sheep on your land with those patterns intact, as they are now able to be bred as normal. As for other patterns, like the "eye-patch" pattern, Zynga says that they're not sure if that pattern will ever be made officially available, as it's "a bit messed up." However, new colors and patterns will be coming to the game soon, including the "flasher" color that we'll see "soonish." We'll even see a bit of a redesign of the current breeding system, but that's not to be released quite so soon.

For the complete (lengthy) new clarification on Sheep Breeding, meet us behind the break.

Community Manager Stumpgrinder lays the changes out for us:

Well yesterday's announcement sure caused a bit of commotion. We do understand your point of view, and we don't want you to feel like those pigs and sheep you claimed from your feed, spent bottles to grow and and then bred more with love potions and more bottles, are all going to waste.

Tonight we'll be adding two rams into the Market with official patterns: a white starred ram and a white camo ram. Unfortunately we wound up blocking the "hooded" pattern (which you get from Brutus the Ram) the other day and we'll be putting that back in tonight too.

So yes, all three of these patterns will be now allowed, meaning that after we update tonight you can breed with those patterns if you have them on your farm. Purchase is not required if you already have animals with those patterns to breed those patterns. And of course you can buy the two rams mentioned above from the Market and breed with them too. Note that the so-called "eye-patch" or "patch" pattern is not an official pattern and may not ever be one since it's a bit messed up. New pig patterns may not be available for a bit longer.

In the near future we'll be putting forth brand new patterns as well as colors (including the "flasher" color, which you may see soonish). This will also accompany a bit of a re-vamp about breeding and how it works so it's a bit more robust and fun, though that's a wee bit further down the road.

We're also investigating claims about getting all of one color (notably white) for completely allowed animals, complaints that generally center around FC rams and ewes. So far using various combinations we haven't reproduced a combination that has generated all whites all the time, though we have seen some other oddities that are under continued investigation.

Finally, there may be some clarification needed regarding breeding and pattern inheritance as it stands today:

If the patterns of the parents do not match, there is a chance that the offspring will inherit the father's pattern.If the patterns of the parents do match, the chance of inheriting that pattern is greatly enhanced.

And there you have it. All that Zynga has to say on the current state of affairs with Pig and Sheep Breeding in FarmVille. With such a huge (and popular) feature in the game, it's great to see that Zynga is actively trying to achieve a balance with all players, and when (if) they update the system yet again, we'll make sure to let you know.

What do you think of the release of these two new patterns in the game? Do you want the flasher color to be the next thing Zynga works on? What other patterns would you like to see? Sound off in the comments.

Zynga confirms FarmVille Pig Breeding; stash those Love Potions

by Joe Osborne, Posted Apr 20th 2011 10:50AM

Geez, how many leaked images does it take to officially confirm something around here, huh? Alright, we'll settle down, because Zynga has confirmed to FarmVille Freak that Pig Breeding is coming sometime in the future to FarmVille. Aside from that terribly vague time frame, Zynga provided the above image, showing that Pig Breeding won't be much different than Sheep Breeding. You will still have to build your Pig Pen and expand it to hold more Pigs, not to mention Love Potions will be needed as well. The only thing you can do now to prepare is stock up on those Love Potions, and if you have an unfinished building, hoard those building supplies.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Pig Breeding Coming Soon

by Brandy Shaul, Posted Apr 12th 2011 9:13PM

Here's something that should make animal-lovers in FarmVille very, very happy. Remember when Community Manager Lexilicious told us that an exciting change would be coming to the Pig Pen feature in the game? Well, it looks like that feature will be Pig Breeding, and it looks to work the same way as Sheep Breeding, in that you'll need bottles to grow the Piglets that are born.

While yes, some of the text on the above window does say "Lamb," this is likely a place-holder issue, as Zynga has been known to use the same formatting for different features after simply changing the text, which clearly hasn't been finished here yet.

Any other details about Pig Breeding are still up in the air, but for now you can always prepare by saving your bottles, so that you can have a bunch of cute little piggies running around your land (ok, maybe not running, but looking just adorable while standing still).

We'll make sure to give you all of the details about Pig Breeding as we have them, but for now, let us know what you think of this feature in the comments. Will you breed your pigs to receive free Piglets, or were you hoping the "revision" to the Pig Pen would be something else?
