FarmVille Biplane Flight Cost Formula

This week the FarmVille Biplane was introduced. The Biplane can be purchased for 30,000 coins and will instantly fertilize your entire crop with Insta-Grow. While the first flight is free, additional flights will cost varying rates of farm cash depending on how much time is remaining until your crops are ready to harvest.

There is no set price as it dependent on several factors including what crop you are growing, the time remaining, and how many plots you have.

FarmVille Freak Ingeborg hypothesizes that there is a formula used to calculate the cost of Biplane flights. Here is her thoughtful explanation described below. Thank you for sharing with us FVFreak Ingeborg.

    Hi,

    I know the calculation for costs on the Biplane:

    * 2000 first hours = 1 FV$ (farm cash)
    * +1 FV$ for every additional 1000 hours.
    * Use 24 hours for 1 day, not the 23 hours Zynga usually uses.

    Example: 100 plots of watermelons =9600 hours= 9 FV$. If they are 50% ready it'll be 4800 hours= 4FV$

    It's a theory, but it works every time I checked! A lot of people keep asking on the forums how to calculate the costs and I can keep answering but i think it's more effective if FarmVille Freak makes a post about it!

    The exact formula will be : (X*H*P)/1000-1= # FV$ ( round up! )
    in which:
    X= Number of plots
    H= Grow time of the crop in hours (Carrots=12, Watermelons=96, Peas=24 etc.)
    P= (100-percentage of the crop)/100. This means: if a crop is 50% ready P= (100-50)/100=0.5
    If the crop is freshly planted P=1. If a crop is at 90% ready P=0,1

    Happy farming ;)

It's official: FarmVille's coming to iPhone at the end of June

We've heard for months that FarmVille would be headed to iPhone, and at the Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference 2010 in San Franciso, Zynga CEO Mark Pincus announced that the farming game officially make its way to the Apple phone at the end of June.

There are not a lot of details on how this version of the game will be different than that on Facebook, other than the fact that it will sync with the Facebook version of the game (unlike the Mafia Wars iPhone app), players will be able to buy items without leaving the app, and it will have push notifications for withering crops. Pincus also seems to hint that the harvesting system may be a little bit different as well. "I'm most excited about how good tractoring just got," Pincus says during the game's demo.

We've contacted Zynga to learn more details on this new version of FarmVille, and to see if an official iPad version will be arriving shortly as well.
