I've asked the devs for clarification on this.

yea a few days ago 50 was the max. it wouldnt let more go in, however now i accidentally have 57 cows thinking i had more room, i put more in.

will they EVER make myspace facilities produce faster or adjust the work time to go faster?
I have a lot of those facilities in my storage, not being used because they are just too darn slow.

How is it not fair to spend real money? someone has to pay for the servers & development of the game, without it, the game wouldn't be half as good as it is now, so i don't mind giving my support.I so agree!



Another question........ when I'm fishing, after I get X number of fish, a cloud of +17 and +23, etc floats up, yet neither my coins or XP changes. What are those numbers for??
Could someone answer this for me please?

dont suppose anybody is likely to introduce a fertilizer or something to speed up the growin process i think it would be a good idea

i think thats a good idea, maybe get the cow poo from the sheds LOL, and maybe use wasted crops too, add some irrigation and maybe knock 20% off grow times for it

as I mentioned in another thread you posted this question in, if you go to the store and select the ponds tab you will be able to then click on the question mark for each of the water types and see what you can fish from each of them

That is happening to me too. It looks like you are getting coins but nothing ever changes on your coin count.

Hello:

I have just bought the Fish Farming Plant last night, and am producing some fish and shrimps containers and put them into my "Pending" screen; but there was no "Produce Faster" link for me to click to ask my friends for help. Am I missing something? Or is that the way it should be with Fish Farming? Why don't I have the option to "Produce Faster"
in this Fish Farming Plant?

there isn't a produce faster button, because the fish are grown, not produced, like with trees, you can't speed those up either, as much as i would like to

250 mouse clicks in 2 seconds queueing up max production...

"Connection to server timed out"All I can say is you're better at counting than I am. I just tried and cannot get even close to 250 in 2 seconds. Well Done !

If you must know.....
There were more than a thousand and they were in there long BEFORE I discovered that there were issues. They perked along just fine all day yesterday. I checked last night before I went to bed and they were still perking along just fine. I get up this morning and there's no production in that facility. So, you can just take your confusion somewhere else.

What confusion? We are playing a bata game. All new updates are subject to monsters eating what we do. I also loaded a coffee and pulled out the first batch that was done and then lost about 650 when I got back to it the next day. And that was after reading the forum and knowing about the problems. So it was my fault for loosing them by doing so much before I was sure that the problems were fixed.

No sushi for me yet. Gona give it till the Monday and seer where it stands. :cool:

Yes my fields stay plowed, and I can plant crops on them. Now, three days later, the pineapples were done, they were harvested normally by two people from the marketplace. Both of them were hired to plow, and ditto. They plowed, I got zero experience for 800 plots; but it cost me zero coins. I then replanted (another 3-day crop).

In my other three farms, I harvested, plowed, and planted. I was charged the correct amount for things I plowed and planted, and received the experience expected. (1pt and 2 pt).

Windows XP SP3, 32 bit
Google's Chrome internet browser
Flash (which updated itself a couple days ago, as it always does to stay current).

Today is the first time I've hired someone to harvest/plow for me since this update.

Please bring back, us paying them to plow and getting 1 experience point while they plow.

I hired two to plow, before learning the farm owner no longer gets experience for this.

ick.

Are your fields staying plowed?

i thought the same thing, until i refreshed, and saw my xp went up after i refreshed, i just wasn't seeing it as the plowing was being done

Thanks for answering my question. I'll try what you suggested.

Another issue. What's up with the plowing? The plow runs away from me on it's own accord where I click to plow. Freezes my screen and I can't do anything until it's done monkeying around by itself. Really strange.

HELP - having a hard time locating info.

How many eggs does a hen lay each time it is harvested?
(If it is 1:1, then no wonder I cannot keep up with the bakery...)

In real life, hens lay multiple eggs. I've been having neighbors gift me hens like mad, but still not staying on top of bakery - running into the "you need more eggs" message. I've about 30-40 hens across two farms (with two chicken coops, one on each farm). Thanks!

Actually i had that pause junk for a very long time....... I just seeded all 4 of my farms and for the first time in I can't remember how long I didn't have that Pause.... I has been driving me nuts.... I haven't harvest or plowed today yet to see how that is but seeding has greatly improved..... however the disconnects when queuing up production is just horrible.... Has taken me two hours so far to put my stuff in production on one farm only.... It's just nuts.....

you could try clearing the stored data from cdn.slashkey.com on your hard drive
it should be located in 'my documents/application data/macromedia' somewhere, you may have to perform a search for it. what that will do is make the game reload all your farm data from the server again, rather than from cached files, it might help

It is not humanly possible to click 250 times in 2 seconds so whatever you are doing to click 250 in 2 seconds is probably what is crashing the game. Try taking a little longer to click 250 times and see if that helps you out.

I now have an ATV that I have absolutely no use for. I traded it for a cherry tree...it looked confirmed, but i still ended up with a stupid ATV....tried again with ground coffee (i have the factory) to exchange for a walnut tree...guess what...now I've got coffee in my gift box...I am getting tired of glitches...thanks

I've read through this forum tons of times and haven't found the answer to this one and I've posted it before. At first, my coffee grinder and sushi restaurant took my harvests and when I went to check on them, it said there was no activity on those facilities. Then they worked properly the second time I tried them and now, once again, it took my harvests and said nothing was being worked on. This is tiresome. I know it's a free game, I know all I have to do is grow the stuff or fish it again, but it is frustrating. I'm not complaining so much as hoping the devs will see this and fix whatever glitch needs fixing. And not everyone has the patience needed to click through every single page in the forum to find their answer, or time.:cool:

That is because you are looking in the wrong spot! A simple search will take you to the right one. Just search for missing coffee. For those that don't have the time to sit and read every post.....there is a search option so that you can find what you want without having to read the entire forum.

speedmonkey
Jun 26 2010, 04:31 AM
everytime i click trade it wont let me so i can't trade the other stuff i get for the animals i lost when the new stuff came out

You shouldn't have to trade to get any animals. Read the forum or do a search for missing animals and all the answers are there. This has been dealt with time and again in this thread just GO LOOK!

Can't you guys queue this stuff up? I've spent 4 hours doing nothing but trying to queue up work in my factories.

<connecting w69.slashkey.com>
<waiting w69.slashkey.com> -> 2 seconds go by
+1 XP

<connecting w69.slashkey.com>
<waiting w69.slashkey.com> -> 4 seconds go by
+1 XP

<connecting w69.slashkey.com>
<waiting w69.slashkey.com> -> 2 seconds go by
+1 XP

"CONNECTION TO SERVER TIMED OUT"

Do you know how frustrating it is to go in and queue up 15 days worth of ice cream and have 2 FREAKING XP'S ACTUALLY REGISTER THEN HAVE THE SERVER TIME OUT THEN GET TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN?

How about trying this on for size?

<connecting w69.slashkey.com>
<waiting w69.slashkey.com>
+250 XP

How difficult is that?



If you think it is so simple, you get a job at the company and write the coding for it yourself. It is a great idea but just because it sounds simple doesn't mean it is!

All my cows, chickens, geese and goats are missing after I added them to their buildings. They were on my first farm where I had added them and then I put the buildings in storage so I could put them on my fourth farm. I got 5 cows as gifts and they were the only ones in there.

REALLY PEOPLE READ THE THREAD OR SEARCH FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW! THIS HAS BEEN DEALT WITH AT LEAST ONCE ON EVERY PAGE OF THIS THREAD. YOU DON"T HAVE TO LOOK VERY HARD OR VERY LONG TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CORRECT THIS AND AVOID IT IN THE FUTURE!

THE ANSWERS ARE HERE YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM!!!

I would be willing to bet that half of this thread is about people losing their animals and others telling them how to fix it! Yet, 52 pages into this we are still getting the same questions and angry posts that were posted on day 1. :confused:

speedmonkey
Jun 26 2010, 04:39 AM
LOL this is a repeat.... do not move your buildings with animals inside them....... add your animals to storage then your buildings then move them....... just put the buildings back on the same farm you had them on and your animals will hopefully return..... store them separately then move them.....

Isn't this a repeat of a repeat of a repeat? This is like the hundredth time that this has been asked and answered. READ THE THREAD TO FIND THE ANSWERS!

Then why keep loading it up? If you are having problems with it would it not be smarter to work in smaller batches while the devs sift through this endless list of complaints? There is a thread in the forum to report these issue to directly and the devs are aware of the problem and trying to fix it. It is taking so long because they have to look all over the place to fins out what is wrong because the complaints are in the wrong location.

If you hit yourself with a hammer are you going to do it again just to see if it hurts as bad the second time?

Ummm I don' think that is new. Why would you get paid to harvest your own crops? You payment is the crops and whatever you can make off it selling it at market. I have never been paid to harvest my own crops and neither has anyone that I know. Unless you are using the harvest and sell option instead of the harvest and store option, that is the only thing I can think of that would make it appear that you are getting paid for working your own farm. You don't get paid to plow your own farm, or harvest your own trees either.

Maybe the devs should just stop trying to make the game better for us.

As far as the gift exchange I have not had one instance of it not working. You have to click on the "click here" link and then click the exchange button after you have decided what you want to exchange it for. TWO CLICKS NOT ONE!

Weird thing is, on my system, which isn't a particularly fast system.... i don't have any trouble with xp updating... mind you i do take a few steps to make it faster

1. i direct link all 4 of my farms so i don't have to go through #1 everytime
2. while updating xp, i usually zoom all the way down to my avatar, cutting out as much of the graphic detail as i can (especially animals)
3. making sure my cache is clear, & flash is right upto date

i can usually get about 6 xp's per second :)

And you're right, the devs are doing an amazing job, and one expects a few glitches now and again, especially on a beta game thats uptdated contantly as we play... GREAT JOB DEVS :)

I did not delete all sites I scrolled through the list until I found the slashkey site and just deleted it. I have yet to reload we will see if that works.

Thanks Mew


Follow Up:

This seems to work. After clearing the slashkey data it seems to also have corrected the XP issue. My XP is adding up much faster now and not lagging so bad. So others having to stand around and wait for their xp to finish catching up to them might try this as well. It seems to have worked for me! I recommend bookmarking the adobe site so that you can clear it on a regular basis or when you start noticing lags.

Again, Thanks Mew!

This is where it's located on my system

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\LJZA67N4\cdn.slashkey.com

you might have to show hidden files to get to it

Even after showing hidden files I was still unable to find this folder. Are you still running XP or are you using Vista? That is the only reason I can think of that it would not work.

ok this game is crazy!!!!! i went and did all my trees which werealot NOT ONE OF THEM WENT TO MY STORAGE!!!!!!!!!! GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR WENT TO MY FACILITIES TO MAKE STUFF AND THE TREES STUFF WAS NOT THERE!!!....WHEN U HARVEST URSELF U DONT GET MONEY WHEN U HARVEST THE TREES URSELF U DONT GET NUFFIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try refreshing the game after you harvest your trees. That might help. I have noticed a few times that stuff is missing but if I refresh it shows up. Sometimes the most simplistic solution is the answer.

Im running XP :) i've no reason to change it :), but anyways, no worries thanks to Molly, i didn't even know about that little utility on the adobe site.. but i am glad you got it sorted out, i had a feeling that was the case :)

Maybe a new thread should be started called tips on speeding up the game :) i myself do quite a few different things besides the cache, zooming right down to limit the detail (especially animals), making sure flash is upto date etc etc

Maybe you could post a list of those little tips here or if you would not mind sending me a copy of them in a private message through here. It is really difficult to know them all since I rarely mess with those kinds of settings on my system. I know how to do it all I just don't know which ones will make a difference and which ones will not. I had to upgrade to Vista so that all of my school programs would work. Going to college means I have to upgrade everything to stay compatible with all the programs that they require me to use.

1. I personally use Firefox 3.6.3, it seems to be faster for flash based games

2. make sure you have a nice clean copy of the most recent flash player, i uninstall it first, then re-install it.. to remove flash from your system

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

3. clearing out your browsers cache, and cdn.slashkey.com

4. bookmarking a direct link to all 4 farms so you don't have to go through 1 e.g

apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=##########&farm_ix=#
replace the ########## with your own farm ID number and the # with 0,1,2 or 3, for the 4 farms

5. after going into facilities and loading up loads of stuff, zoom in on your avatar, blocking out as much graphic detail as possible, especially animals
... maybe even turning your trees off too

Hope some of this will help out some farmers here :) if anyone knows any further tips :) let us know :)

when you harvest your own crops you get an option to sell your crops or to add to storage to make more money.. you do get your crops or trees put in storage to sell or use for production. just be sure you choose that option......i have made that mistake a couple times myself as i am sure most of us have and thought we lost our crops ..........

REALLY PEOPLE READ THE THREAD OR SEARCH FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW! THIS HAS BEEN DEALT WITH AT LEAST ONCE ON EVERY PAGE OF THIS THREAD. YOU DON"T HAVE TO LOOK VERY HARD OR VERY LONG TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CORRECT THIS AND AVOID IT IN THE FUTURE!

THE ANSWERS ARE HERE YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM!!!

I would be willing to bet that half of this thread is about people losing their animals and others telling them how to fix it! Yet, 52 pages into this we are still getting the same questions and angry posts that were posted on day 1. :confused:

Bumping this up in hopes people will read it and do what it says. How much you want to bet someone will post their problems with their animals

I am very disappointed with the gift exchange...when it is not working could you please put a banner up top so we can wait till later to exchange the junk some people send us for what we really need. I now have an ATV that I have absolutely no use for. I traded it for a cherry tree...it looked confirmed, but i still ended up with a stupid ATV....tried again with ground coffee (i have the factory) to exchange for a walnut tree...guess what...now I've got coffee in my gift box...I am getting tired of glitches...thanks

SO Don't Use the Gift Exchange. Keep all the junk you are sent and sell it. Or even better yet just Ignore the gift.:eek:

I'm using Mac OS 10.3. I found my slashkey files in macromedia, but I've never messed around with these files before. What happens to your computer when you delete them? I'm just a little nervouse about getting rid of all the farm stuff. Will it run faster after this?
I should say that I have two facebook accounts and I have farms on both of them. The more recent farm (last month) does run much faster than my older farm (over a year old).
I've just noticed in the last month or so that everything is running slower on the older farm, harvesting/plowing/planting/facilities. I clear my chache all the time and delete cookies, but that doesn't seem to help much anymore.

For those that are having issues, I have just finished going through the following process and can't believe how much better my games are now.

I don't think we are allowed to post outside links but going to risk it here and hope it is allow to stay to help so many that are having huge issues and don't know where to find information that they need.

Since the last Firefox upgrade to 3.6.4, I have found the latest version of flash is playing havoc with lots of lagging with anything using flash.

This Adobe Tool will help to clear anything that flash is storing on your computer so that it is nice and clean. I deleted all website using this tool so that when I visit my favourite pages, the page loads up as if I have never visited before. It does not delete your applications so don't worry about that.

Worth a try if you are having problems or just want to freshen/speed up applications that you enjoy.

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

I did see some improvement but decided to uninstall Flash and install a fresh one. Wow...the difference is what I was looking for. No lag at all now.

I used an uninstaller that can be found at this link....easy to do.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

I then reinstalled from this link...once more easy to do.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

PS... un-tick Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus (optional) if you don't want that to install.

Installing Flash updates can cause issues with previous versions, which is the case this time round for me and the reason that I had to uninstall the old version.

Hope this is of some help.

I should add that I am using Windows 7 plus Firefox browser. My machine is a 64 bit

all that happens when you delete them, is the game is forced into reloading your entire farm from the server instead of the cache files stored in cdn.slashkey.com

it basically works the same as the browsers cache, but for flash instead

and yes, it can make things run a little smoother :)

AMEN! Thank you for saying it. I guess I should have but I didn't. If you all want to continue to whine and complain just stop playing. Delete your farm and go play a game that runs slower than a turtle. Farm your little hearts out in Farmville and pay out the a** for the useless **** they want you to have (cause they won't give you what you ask for). Rely on your neighbors to make your crops grow bigger and have to sit and click just as much (even more than here because you can't hire people to plow for you) to get any XP. Put all the cartoon buildings on your 1(ONE) farm and stare at how pretty they are cause they don't do anything else. Forget getting better income from your crops because you can't turn them in to anything else. This is how ever a wonderful solution to all your animal, crop, and production problems because you can't do anything with all the **** that you grow. Oh and don't forget to enjoy the never ending pop-up screens every two seconds asking you to share all your **** with your neighbors but you can't have any of it yourself even though it came from your farm!


To everyone else please continue to enjoy your game. It should run better and smoother once all the people that want to complain leave!

Maybe the devs should just stop trying to make the game better for us.

As far as the gift exchange I have not had one instance of it not working. You have to click on the "click here" link and then click the exchange button after you have decided what you want to exchange it for. TWO CLICKS NOT ONE!

Dude, the **** dont work on myspace........... neither did the produce fatster, and some other stuff.

if you follow these directions that i copied from the Help and support section a while back you will find this will be very helpful... after you delete the folders ok and you reboot your pc and sign back into farm town it will rebuild the folders a pure clean install of Farm Town like your very first visit......
the messages here with outside links will be removed guys we can't put outside links a mod will remove them ok??

here you go:

**Further to clearing browser cache and history to ‘clean’ the system, there will be a cdn. folder in your computer’s C drive which collects corrupt and ‘trash’ files from flash-based games such as Farm Town.
Clearing this can help with some issues, such as connection errors, loading issues, and sometimes problems with chat, hiring and invisibility on the game.**


This is to be used ONLY after all other suggestions have failed, and ONLY if you are confident about deleting files within the root drive of your computer.
You need to have administrator access to your PC in order to do this.

The name of the folder is cdn.slashkey.com, and it will typically be found in the Macromedia folder on C:\ drive.
This folder contains all of flash player’s cached files, and clearing it forces a ‘rebuild’ of the information so that the new connection to the game is completely clean (like a new start)

To search for it, go to start menu > search > files folder > and enter cdn.slashkey.com.
Make sure your Internet Browser is closed, and no other files are open, or you will get an error.

Select the folder and delete it.

Reboot your computer before reloading the browser and logging back into Farm Town. This recreates the folder with fresh contents and server information, and forces an update of your system in relation to the game.

Hi Mrs Borgies. :)

I've undeleted your post, as the external links you posted are useful ones which we Mods have checked out before for relevance and safety, and in fact have used ourselves in the Help and Support section.

Sleepyhallow is correct - we don't generally allow external links to be posted, but we can and do allow ones that are safety checked and useful to other players.

Please feel free in future to PM one of us Mods with any links you might want to use, and we can either allow or refuse permission for them to be posted.

Thanks. :)

You're welcome, Rob. It's just an easier way to do the same thing, as it saves searching for the file in C Drive and running the risk of deleting something important. :)

I did not delete all sites I scrolled through the list until I found the slashkey site and just deleted it. I have yet to reload we will see if that works.

Thanks Mew


Follow Up:

This seems to work. After clearing the slashkey data it seems to also have corrected the XP issue. My XP is adding up much faster now and not lagging so bad.

That works too, just deleting the Slashkey data. I'm glad it made a difference for you. :) As someone else mentioned, it just gets rid of all the junk flash player leaves behind and forces a 'clean' reload of the game.

no kidding, the last FF update is what got me started on all these tweaks and fixes. i tried everything i could think of, re-installing what i could and everything, and still was bad. until i finally came to the conclusion it was the FF update. i will update to 3.6.6, and see how that goes.

UPDATE: i tried 3.6.6, it was an improvement on 3.6.4..... but i'm sorry to say, its nowhere near close to how smooth i had 3.6.3 running, so for the time being, i have reverted to 3.6.3, and again, game runs perfectly great on that

I've also been having problems with Firefox on Farm Town. I reinstalled my flash, emptied my cache, and it still acted draggy. So I installed Chrome and gave it a try and it was perfect. Just like Firefox used to act. So for now, I'll use Chrome for Farm Town but keep Firefox as my browser for everything else.

I've also been having problems with Firefox on Farm Town. I reinstalled my flash, emptied my cache, and it still acted draggy. So I installed Chrome and gave it a try and it was perfect. Just like Firefox used to act. So for now, I'll use Chrome for Farm Town but keep Firefox as my browser for everything else.

I did all that too even upgraded firefox to 3.6.6. I cant even harvest or plow someone else farm as it freezes on me. When selling my crops in the MP it takes forever

l see the harvesting function has been tweaked. THANK YOU!! l used to click so fast trying to stay ahead of that girl - she moved like lightning LOL - always getting in my way. Seems that now l can click where l want as she is moving at a more normal speed.
Whew...!

no kidding, the last FF update is what got me started on all these tweaks and fixes. i tried everything i could think of, re-installing what i could and everything, and still was bad. until i finally came to the conclusion it was the FF update. i will update to 3.6.6, and see how that goes.

UPDATE: i tried 3.6.6, it was an improvement on 3.6.4..... but i'm sorry to say, its nowhere near close to how smooth i had 3.6.3 running, so for the time being, i have reverted to 3.6.3, and again, game runs perfectly great on that

THANKS for the info!

i am also having troubles dang thing... uninstalled flash, reinstalled. updated fire fox.. not sure i have enough ram to install dang chrome....... this is just nuts. i had a partial layer going on and it freaking crashed on me again... guess i will attempt a install on chrome... people say it is better by far than FF has been lately any way...... thing is i am on freaking dial up and dang installs take hours grrrrrr
anyone know if Slash key is still accepting submitted graphics?? the link is there if you go to your account so i am assuming they are...... here's hoping... i did a few things for the farm that i have seen in the suggestions.....

The last Firefox update didn't work at all well with flash based games. Some players have gone back to version 3.6.3 and others have updated to 3.6.6.

I have all 3 main browsers on my PC so I can monitor what's happening (lol) and the 3.6.6 version of FF is working fine for me with the new flash update. BUT.. it will only work properly if you uninstall the old flash player, clear cache, clear macromedia files, turn off the PC and reboot.

Sleepy, I really feel for you being on dial up, and I'm truly amazed that you manage to run Farm Town without Broadband.

I have no idea what version was available when we first started playing (check my 'joined' date, too lazy to myself) but we used FF and it did freeze up often. We switched over to Chrome and it runs well. Lately though I can't get through loading my facilities without timing out several times and get timed out a lot working other's facilities. This may be computer related, don't know for sure yet.

We've done a few posts in this thread of things people can try
one of the main fixes that we suggested is to clear the macromedia cache itself
use this link http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html and on that applet, it will allow you to delete cdn.slashkey.com and force the game to be loaded fresh from the server

another thing you can try, as mentioned in previous posts on this thread, is reinstalling the flash player

Thanks for the suggestions Rob. I've gone through those threads and we've tried all that but doesn't make a difference. Did it all as suggested. The cdn. file doesn't appear at all anywhere. I'm pretty sure the problem has a lot to do with the computer I'm using.

My computer's proccessor is a full gig faster than my wife's computer and 250meg more ram, but she doesn't have anywhere near the same trouble timing out that I do. I notice my hard drive runs all out for long periods and often, her's doesn't. When it does this it really slows things down. Last time I was in bio I noticed something different about the hard drive but don't recall what it was. Have to go back to check that out some time. I was told by someone my problem is because it is an eMachine but don't know if that is fact.

i can't see how the fact that it's an eMachine would effect things like that, specially as you say it USED to be fine. from my experience, when a hard drive is working too hard like that, is usually because of either 1. It's having to use virtual ram, which is stored on the hard drive, or 2. the drive needs badly defragging, or 3. the drive is getting full

Then why keep loading it up? If you are having problems with it would it not be smarter to work in smaller batches while the devs sift through this endless list of complaints? There is a thread in the forum to report these issue to directly and the devs are aware of the problem and trying to fix it. It is taking so long because they have to look all over the place to fins out what is wrong because the complaints are in the wrong location.

If you hit yourself with a hammer are you going to do it again just to see if it hurts as bad the second time?

Read the info at this link. It doesn't apply on my Mac OS 10.6 system, using Safari 5.0. However, when I reset Safari, which I do at least once daily, basically I am doing something similar and I have not had the problems being frequently reported with FT (and other aps). The image below shows the options I routinely check mark when resetting Safari.

it is probably your browser. unfortunately IE and flash just don't mix.... If you can.. try to download google chrome or Fire Fox. they are much more compatible with Flash...then go to adobe site and use their uninstaller you can do a search for it at adobe and uninstall your flash and empty your temp files and then reinstall it..and reboot your pc.... hope that helps you....

Hi Sleepy. :)

I posted the official Slashkey response to these links a short while back, as they're becoming more prevalent. Here it is:

Slashkey is aware that users are implementing these sorts of game tactics and they are not condoned, as they are cheating.

Also, when clicking on the free gift links, users are taking their fate into their own hands, because we don't have any control over the content of those links and they are clicking at their own risk.

If these links are posted on the Farm Town discussion board, or anywhere else where Slashkey has any control whatsoever, they can and will be deleted.

Some have already been removed; if there are any more out there, please send the link via private message to myself or to another moderator, and we will ask Slashkey admin to deal with it.

Many thanks.

thank you for your response Molly this is the first time I have heard of such things. will defiantly not go to those kind of sites....

With the gift exchange.... life is much easier.... I can gift the same thing to everyone.... 40+ neighbors and growing.... twice a day.... sometimes 3 times to some neighbors....

and they do the same back. I am getting gifts (Lots) from neighbors who never gifted before. It is not unusual to open the game and have 15+ gifts waiting.... and they can be what ever I want them to be.

So use the gift and gift-exchange often to get what you need.

In the meantime I plant just the green and purple grapes at all four farms, and make a FORTUNE on the cellar and wineries.... gotta get ready for the next upgrade you know.... :D


As to the gift sites.... so what....let the "buyer" beware. I assume that it or they are accessible to everyone anyway. Don't know about the risks of spam or "unwanted" contacts..... and I don't know if it is worse than having neighbors we never knew, will never meet, and we cannot be sure of. Most of my neighbors are friends or friends of friends, but I still have some fingers crossed..... lol

I'm simply trying to load my factories. For the past 3 and a half hours I've simply been trying to load my factories. The mouse clicks for this take less than 15 seconds, yet 3.5 hours later I'm still trying to figure out why this doesn't work.

I am a professional computer programmer, I do this for a living. I do this to put food on my table. Nothing gets fixed if no one complains. Nothing gets fixed if the programmers do not use the program.

The main problem is 1) usability and 2) basic computer science concepts. Granted, there are constraints with using flash as the engine for this but the nuclear sized holes in this program are simply due to sloppy programming, programmer's that don't use the program themselves, and the difficulty in farming out general computer science work to people that don't care. It is painfully obvious this is all being farmed out. I'm simply the squeeky wheel trying to get the managers of this project to re-adjust how they are running it.

The fixes for this are simple. Someone just has to care.

Judging by the amount of posts on this subject I am sure the developers are aware of the time lag. I just believe that games should be fun (even if they have bugs, poor progamming , glitches etc..) and if they are not fun why play them.

OK, I am NOT a computer programmer, but as a user of the game I have made some basic observations. First of all, I don't experience the severe time lag you do - not sure precisely why - but I do notice that the one farm of yours is facility-heavy. I am almost certain this makes a difference, and I think it can be expected to. I own all but 2 of the facilities (no desire for the chocolate and juice factories), and they click along just fine. I do click on the save button and refresh in between - this seems to clear the way for more loading very quickly. Also, my facilities are spread among all four farms. This doesn't seem like rocket science to figure out, especially as we have all seen how much "active" components like animals can slow things down. Secondly, as many players as there are, that's how many ways there are to play this game. It's not like a program that has the same functionality for everyone who uses it. This is bound to result in headaches for the developers, who are trying to keep up with glitches and problems at the same time they are working on advancing and expanding the game, which, of course, is largely FREE to play. People who choose not to purchase farm cash really aren't missing much, and it's everyone's choice to spend real dollars or not. Just as it's everyone's choice to quit playing if they're not satisfied....just sayin'.

p.s. the word is "squeaky"

Hi, Thanks for the response. I have those the same as I always have since starting to play the game...a friend told me about them early on. So I'm not real sure why this is happening now. I always have a little trouble after updates but nothing like this. I even updated my browser and flash player and it's still happening. Oh well, I still love the game just a little annoying on how the plow thing is working now. Hopefully this too will pass. Thanks again!

Hi, Thanks for the response. I have those the same as I always have since starting to play the game...a friend told me about them early on. So I'm not real sure why this is happening now. I always have a little trouble after updates but nothing like this. I even updated my browser and flash player and it's still happening. Oh well, I still love the game just a little annoying on how the plow thing is working now. Hopefully this too will pass. Thanks again!No problem ... the settings quite often get "changed" after an update that is why I suggested checking them. Hope you get it sorted

I am not having anywhere near the lag you are Vince and there have been tips on what to do to possibly fix the problem. If you are a programmer you should know these things.A little bored with you slamming this forum . Grow up!

I was just in farmtown and got hired to plow. While I was plowing I went in and checked the box to follow avatar while walking to see what would happen. Well it was doing the same thing. So it seems my avatar is stuck on that for some reason. Hopefully I can figure out how to fix that.

OK, I am NOT a computer programmer, but as a user of the game I have made some basic observations. First of all, I don't experience the severe time lag you do - not sure precisely why - but I do notice that the one farm of yours is facility-heavy. I am almost certain this makes a difference, and I think it can be expected to. I own all but 2 of the facilities (no desire for the chocolate and juice factories), and they click along just fine. I do click on the save button and refresh in between - this seems to clear the way for more loading very quickly. Also, my facilities are spread among all four farms. This doesn't seem like rocket science to figure out, especially as we have all seen how much "active" components like animals can slow things down. Secondly, as many players as there are, that's how many ways there are to play this game. It's not like a program that has the same functionality for everyone who uses it. This is bound to result in headaches for the developers, who are trying to keep up with glitches and problems at the same time they are working on advancing and expanding the game, which, of course, is largely FREE to play. People who choose not to purchase farm cash really aren't missing much, and it's everyone's choice to spend real dollars or not. Just as it's everyone's choice to quit playing if they're not satisfied....just sayin'.

p.s. the word is "squeaky"

I have 4 farms with one having every facility & must say I don't have ANY problems queuing up jobs. And I keep several of my factories completely loaded up.

This has always been my favorite game & the enhancements made to it have been wonderful! BIG shout out & much thanks to the game devs!!

The only thing left on my wish list is an easier way to fish - all that clicking is tedious and at times too physically painful to fish out all I'd like to get for my restaurants.

I am too.... I convinced my wife to buy the Wine Cellar and the winery(s).... and now they are not loading on any farms.... ouch

Bad enough to have the wood shed disappear for awhile .... or my scare crows for two days....

but not the WINE CELLAR !!!!!!!

I could be looking at a loss of millions per day....... and that is all real money, right????

Is there a way to get them back without waiting for the devs to correct the problem??

LOL..... don't think the devs would be game enough until the last update settles down. It turned out to be bad timing with the Flash issues, which poor Farm Town is getting the blame for as well......but yes an update would be good! Ducks for cover!!! :D;)

make sure when you harvest for yourself that you click on it to send it to storage to earn more coins and clicking on to harvest and sell ........ i have done that by mistake myself......

Anybody else having trouble loading the Cellar??

I have visited a number of my neighbors who have them.... and the cellar has not loaded on any of their farms. Plus, I am unable to see some of my trees.

The trees ... no problem....

But the cellar hopefully will return,

I have done the same. I wish the harvest always went to storage to stop these mistakes. I often reload my farm thinking that I may have clicked on the wrong choice.

Did you try refreshing? I have noticed that sometimes the stuff I do doesn't show up right away but if I refresh the game it shows up. You have to do a full refresh though not just switch farms or go back to your own from someone else's.

Hope this helps!

Where can Y get cows and goats?

Cows and goats, as well as hens can only be gifted. If you ask your neighbors for one and get one before you take it out of your gift box click on the more option and it will ask you if you would like to put out a request for more. This post a direct link on your FB page so that all of your neighbors can send you one right from there instead of having to go to the send gift tab within the game. You can also do the same thing with any trees that can only be gifted, like mango trees.

Hope this helps!

Oh ya, and I rolled the coin display. You need more than 8 digits. I now have 112,849,40 coin. Smooth move there slick. American, ya, we use commas.

I started loading my factories at 8PM (20:00) and I'm still not done. It's 10:30 (22:30). That's 2.5 HOURS TO LOAD TWO FACTORIES. TWO AND A HALF HOURS TO LOAD TWO FACTORIES. Hello. check check check (tap tap) Is this thing on? TEST TEST (tap tap) TWO AND A HALF HOURS TO LOAD TWO FACTORIES.

You have posted this long drawn out post three times in the same thread we all get your unhappy that it is taking to long to load your factories. Have you tried any of the posted suggestions to fix the problem? Most of them pretty simple to do. It could very well be that the problem is not the game but something that con be corrected with a few minor adjustments to the computer running the game. Mine was slow as a herd of turtles too until I tried some of the suggestions posted in this very thread.

They can't roll out a new one because they are to busy trying to sort out the useful information from all the complaints about the last one!

Kinda hard to do when people keep posting the same things over and over but don't bother to read the forum and look for a solution to their problem. Maybe I missed the big news release that said complaining was all you had to do to solve your problems.

As far as the disappearing trees there is a thread specifically dedicated to the problem of crops disappearing from your storage. If you do a simple search of the forum I am sure that you can find it and it may have some answers to the question. You just have to be willing to look for them instead of re-posting the same complaint over and over!

You can harvest for yourself but why and the great green earth would you get paid to work for yourself?! You choose to either harvest and sell (which equals your payment) or harvest and store (which tells you that you get more money for harvesting it into storage). You don't get paid to plow for yourself, in fact, that cost you more money, you don't get paid to plant your own crops, you don't get paid to work your own facilities, so what would make you think that they should pay you for tending your own farm?

Your payment is either making your crops into something else and then selling that or directly selling your crops. It is insane to think that you should get paid for working for yourself!

For heavens sake it has only been 2 weeks since they gave us 10 new levels. Adding levels, I would assume, is not a simple task. They have to come up with new stuff to go along with all those new levels as well. Think back to when you were level 30 and couldn't by red roses. It is no different now, new levels requires new rewards. If they didn't come with new rewards everyone would be complaining that they are not getting enough stuff for all their "hard work" in a game.

I have deleted several posts from this thread, as repetitive posting is considered spamming and is not permitted.

May I suggest that anyone still having problems with the game should look for the official thread in the Help and Support section and post there. We may be able to help. :)

Oak trees are no longer harvestable? When did that happen? Was there an update recently? I've always harvested acorns (every little bit helps, coin-wise), but now when I hover over an oak tree, it just says "OAK TREE" with no percentage and they're not harvestable.
