so,
looking for a python (or any experienced) developer to contribute to bot
you can msg me at @invisibleobsidian
only if you want to, as a volunteer. there won't be much to do.
still, I'll only accept according to my criteria.

^
well any cs major is also welcome. if you know most basics+python. and know bot commands a bit. then might work out.

problems w @famtreebbot fixed. bot was like only working 30%. now it's fine.

sorry I used wrong bot token. rip.

channel for bugs: (@fam_tree_bugs)
After trying literally everything to keep track of bugs, and track how much it affects users, nothing seems to work.
So, now all "known" bugs will be added to @fam_tree_bugs, if I didn't prioritise it, and it affects you, you can comment to let me know that it actually affects users.
I feel we don't have much bugs for now, and this channel can be used for feature requests, but that is for later.

EDIT: Renamed channel username

new minigame:
stocks! (/stockhelp)
buy and sell stocks, as their prices rise and fall.
commands : /stockhelp, /stockbuy , /stocksell , /history & /portfolio. check out yourself.
prices update every 10 mins for now.
(experimental, and your balance is not connected to main game)

update:
now /stockshelp got a global leaderboard, check it in /mb
(also € will be used in stocks to signify that its not connected to game money, for now)

so, I had a simple error, but that caused auto feed to not work. so many people's crabs are now dead.
I will replace auto feed with feed once in 2 days etc later.

bump,
I don't think there'll be any post for 2-3 months (busy irl). you're always welcome to contribute. at some point, bot will get open sourced too.
You can also pm me to do advertisements VIA BOT and FOR BOT. (both ways). I'll just check the prices. @invisibleobsidian

else, I'll just check for downtime.
happy shipping & gaming everyone.

new mini game (/sonar):
Start with /sonar.
you have treasure chests spread throughout the map and you use /put [coordinates] aka /put C5 (or /p C5) to place sonar devices. these tell you the rectangular distance to nearest chest.
There are 5 treasures per game
on finding treasure => +25k $ bonus
cost of putting sonar => 3k $

you play together with other people in the group.

_

Federated Groups (group listing):
Now,
You can add your group chat to bot's list of groups.
Then doing /groups will show your group chat with number of messages done on that day.
Active groups will be on top.

this way, your group will join other number of groups who will play fam tree.

On how to set it up, please DM me @fam_tree_official (or comment below)
(This will be new official account maintained by board members & me, to maintain high availability)

This will also replace @fam_tree_support_bot, you can just ask your doubts to official account, and any of us available will reply you.
There is ofc @famtreesupport in case you need to use bot for it or you're restricted.

You can request your group to be added to
/groups
via
/jointreefed (admin only)
in group chat

notice:
The cloud server is having strange problems.
(beta bot is unaffected)

it might stay dead for tomorrow.
I'm trying to investigate.

issue is patched.
(will work for weeks, I think so)

To keep the "community" like vibe, (without me being active)

We'll try to revive @fam_tree_memes.

You can send memes or really anything related to fam-tree to @fam_tree_support_bot or @fam_tree_official
then , we'll forward it.

You can add: memes, beautiful trees, /q of jokes/drama and maybe some ads of groups.

If idea of this channel really worked out, then there'll be a fam tree community site.

Buying bot money with real money.
prices have dropped.

everything will be 10 INR/million.
so, for 10 million it is 100INR.

to purchase, dm @invisibleobsidian
don't expect instant replies there won't be any changes in prices even if you're mass buying.

I had to do this not to gain money but to stop people from doing it in black.

hello guys,
for a few days bot is dying a lot.
For some failures, I need my laptop and can't fix it in my office hours.

But, I'll fix this problem this weekend so stay stuned.
meanwhile remember

@famtreebbot is available in case you are dying to use it. (you should !)

bot is alive again
I've found solution to fix this thing, but will add it on sunday.

well,
crabs have been reset to 5 days back. since I didn't have frequent backup.

hello guys, due to abuse, pfp images are temporarily disabled.
there is a solution to this, I'll add when I get time.
