I have got a 5x5 harvester but some times when I get hired to harvest some1 elses farm I can not use it. Any1 know the reason 4 this.

Everything should be fine unless it's a stacked or layered farm, then sometimes weird things can happen.
And as long as you have enough fuel.

I do have enough fuel so thats not the problem. It happens on normal farms as well as layered or stacked. It s just really annoying as it took me ages to save enough farm cash to get it, now I cant use it most of the time. Thanks any way for ur help

This is now happening on multiple farms. It started happening right after I purchased a 100,000,000 upgrade and had a hired combine working on my farms. I ran out of coins and had to sell items for them to continue.

Try clearing your cache and macromedia files. Exit your browser. If you ran out of coins, that would explain why it wouldn't stay plowed.

Each time I plow for someone I only get 5 cents. It doesn't matter if it is a neighbor or someone I do not know. Is this correct?

Do we lose coins if we harvest/plow our own farms? A couple of my neighbors are telling me, that if they are unable to hire someone to harvest/plow for them, they harvest/plow their own farms, and coins seem to be coming off their coin tally. Should this be happening. :confused:
P.S. I was just told that even when they hire someone else the coins are still coming off the tally. They have only noticed this since farm 10 was released. One neighbor lost 10,000 coins on a crop of pineapples.

Actually it would be since the combine was release. If you harvest and then plow with the separate tools then you will see no cost except for gas to harvest, when you start plowing it is costing you 20 coins for each plot. Now since we have the combine you are seeing all of this cost at once as you harvest/plow. So you use 1 gas per plot and pay 20 coins to plow per plot. So for the combine (5x5) you see 500 coins cost and your gas goes down 25 units per one click. If you use the harvest/plow/plant combine then the cost goes up to include the cost for 25 seeds.

I wanted to be more up to date working on other people's farms and bought in addition to my 3x3 Harvester the 4x4 Harvester and kept it in storage. When I tried to harvest on other people's farms it never showed up and I ended up doing it by hand.....what did I do wrong or is it a glitch?

If you where multi hired you will not see the tool at the bottom of the screen you will have to click on the tool box and the arrow then you will see the harvester and be able to use it.

To add to that reply... And if you're only hired to harvest (or any single job), your tool will not be found in the expanded yellow tool box. You will find it, instead, as an icon (picture) on the brown area to the right of the farm chat box. There's a glitch with this. Whether you own the 4 x 4 Harvester or the 5 x 5 Harvester, the icon you'll see to click will be the same -- "16x" will be the label. But when you start harvesting, you'll get the correct number of squares outlined -- whether 16 or 25 -- depending on which harvesting tool you own.

Ok, I mentioned on some post yesterday that I have noticed that when I plant a field, save it, go back and check on it, all is well. Then, when I go back in later to check on it, or harvest it, it is gone! At first I thought I was just losing my mind, and I hadn't actually planted anything. But then, today, I planted all fields on farms 1, 5 and 9, saved them, went back to check on them, and they were all fine. I just went in to check again, and there is nothing there but plowed fields, ready for planting. What gives? I am using up my time and fertilizer, and getting no results. This is starting to become frustrating. Just when I thought everything was going perfect and I was happy and had NO COMPLAINTS about anything! Now my crops keep disintegrating. Any clues about why thing is happening and if it is scheduled to be fixed??

Hello,
Not sure i'm understanding you. You have to be hired by the farm owner to harvest their farm. The only posts that go out are to work facilities or send requested gifts/ingredients/claim crop bonuses. Do you mean, you are trying to work their facilities? If that's it, two things to try...
double check all aspects of the time and date are still correct on your computer
try clearing your caches, close browser, then try clicking on a new post. Instructions if you need them are in the 1st post on page 1.

Harvesting is not posted on Facebook. Do you mean when they post for work in their facilities?
Check your date and time on your computer and make sure they are correct. If this is off you can get strange problems.
Also, how long after the posts are you going to try and work?

Hello. When I harvest on my own, do I receive the same amount of crop versus having someone else harvest it, OR how does this go when I harvest on my own. I believe when someone else does the harvest, they receive a small portion and I receive a large portion; please clarify; thank you; who receive what when I harvest on my own; thank you.

What the worker receives comes from the mayor and not out of your crop. So either way you get the same amount. The difference is that the crop a worker harvests for you is worth more if you are going to sell the crop.

I have just started back playing after almost 6 months away and a lot changed while I was gone. I've been working on the premise that the highlighted number in the top left box for each type of seed means how many days of production are in storage.
I evidently am incorrect as to what that number means. My wheat seed says 7 (black) and I have no wheat now because I missunderstood what this number meant.
Coffee too is the same way. I can't produce if I have no raw material.
Can you explain to me, exactly what this number is?
I know I was trying to follow it with sugar, but some production uses the raw form and some the granulated form ... I know it is inaccurate for sugar if the number does mean, days in storage.
I need help to better understand the number coding and appreciate any help given.
Sincerely, nat

The number in the upper left corner has to do with the Belt System. There is info on the previous update about the belts. Has absolutely nothing to do with days of harvest, etc. Hoover over the seed icon and it will show you how many units are needed for the next belt. Wheat is a 2 day crop....all crops stay in storage until you utilize them in a facility or sell them in the marketplace.

I never know if I will have them or not. Very aggravating to be there to work and not have the tools. I cleared cache, and did all the stuff.

Was the one where they didn't show up maybe a multi-hire? If so your tools will be in the yellow toolbox and not showing out like they do for single hire.

Delete the harvested fields - it would seem that there is something underneath them .... when you delete and refresh - you will see your 'other crops' underneath. You will only be able to plow once these have been harvested.

I was hired to chop some trees and found another girl was helping, too. We did about half each and then started top and bottom on another section. Although the trees were showing and we were chopping them down, a message appeared and said Already Done. We noticed that we were not getting any coins for chopping this bit so we downed tools and went home. Neither of us had done this portion.
What do you think caused this notice, please?

Where are you clicking to get the bigger machine? You should be clicking in the extended toolbox (yellow toolbox above the Map) to pick up the tool.
You do need to have the Farm Cash tools (4x4 or 5x5) to use them on other's farms.

I am having problem when using my flash new combine machine on other farms. When harvesting/plowing, a box comes up with eg. "Loading Peanuts", or whatever the crop happens to be. The box stays there for the entire harvest and the only way of working is to go full screen and pan around the box to avoid it.
This does not happen on my own farm, just when working for others, and only when using the combine. Not when using any of the other tools.
Is anyone else having the same problem?

Hello,
I've only seen that once, and it was when hired with a load of other people also using combines, so i wasn't surprised. If that's what happened and it's only happened on the odd occasion, i wouldnt worry . If it's a regular thing on a solo hire then i would try clearing caches, see if that helps.

I tried clearing cache etc, but it makes no difference. Well actually it does- it is now doing it on my own farm :( Only when using the combine though - all other tools, including the 5x 5 harvester and 5x5 plower are fine (tested using them separately instead of the combine). USe the combine and up comes the box after the first few plots are worked and it stays right through to the end of the job. Most annoying.

Hello,
What else have you tried ? After deleting the macromedia file for FT did you go back to the adobe site and try upping the storage allowed to 1MB?Updating flash player for the browser you use? Tried another browser?
Taking the combine out of storage, save game, reload and put it back into storage, sometimes resets it, might be worth a try.

I play multiple times per day...
Each time, if a farm isn't fertilized - I do so. Based on the shaded areas of my farm selector grid.
Each time I cut down my trees, I look at the stumps, and they always says they are (f).
For the last couple of days, my fully grown trees have not been (f) - even though their stumps were.
Oh sure, occasionally a patch might slip through in the past. But now that we're told what field is fertilized in the map-grid. I'm confused how this is happening.
Unless, 1 - there is a problem with the farm-grid or 2 - trees aren't able to be (f) anymore, and the stump(f) is just a leftover from better days.
edit: This should say: Chopable trees. Maple, Oaks, Cedar, and Ebony.

Aug 21 2011, 05:49 PM
It happened again three times:
1. Cedar Trees. Everyday I played, everyday all farms showed fertilized. Including the day I chopped them down, their stumps showed (f).
Today, the farm with the cedar trees (Farm 8 (http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?farm_id=588355893&farm_ix=7)), didn't show fertilized and I took care of that. After fertilizing the other farms that had fallen out, I went back to look at each of them.
Cedar trees didn't show (f). I exited the game, and reloaded it, to see if that would fix the problem. It didn't.
2. Over on farm 3 (farm 3 (http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?farm_id=588355893&farm_ix=2)), I have pine trees. They showed (f), but the farm had falled out of (f) status. I remember looking at the trees, prior to fertilizing the field.
I fertilized the field, they still said, Pine Tree(f); I continued the rounds to the other farms. After the reload, I went back to all my farms. Now, farm 3, showed Pine Trees. They also lost their (f) status.
3. Ditto on Farm 2 (farm 2 (http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?farm_id=588355893&farm_ix=1)). I have Maple Trees and Pine Trees. Both of them were in (f) status, but their farm had fallen out. Same as #2 above... fert. the farm, they both showed (f). Left the farm... after the reload, neither shows (f).
Houston, we have a problem.
note: Turn off buildings, turn on trees. (Trees and buildings occupy the same space, the farm is staggered 3-deep).
I play multiple times per day...
Each time, if a farm isn't fertilized - I do so. Based on the shaded areas of my farm selector grid.
Each time I cut down my trees, I look at the stumps, and they always says they are (f).
For the last couple of days, my fully grown trees have not been (f) - even though their stumps were.
Oh sure, occasionally a patch might slip through in the past. But now that we're told what field is fertilized in the map-grid. I'm confused how this is happening.
Unless, 1 - there is a problem with the farm-grid or 2 - trees aren't able to be (f) anymore, and the stump(f) is just a leftover from better days.
edit: This should say: Chopable trees. Maple, Oaks, Cedar, and Ebony.

It happened again three times:
1. Cedar Trees. Everyday I played, everyday all farms showed fertilized. Including the day I chopped them down, their stumps showed (f).

Your trees are all fully grown and ready for harvesting. If they were that way before you fertilized then no they will no get fertilized. You have to do the fertilizing before they get fully grown. In other words while they are stumps.

You missed the content. I fertilize my farm, every day I see the farm unfertilized.
But today, I checked the status of my trees before fertilizing the farm.
They were (f), before. Then I fertilized. They were still (f). Then after a reload of the game, they were not fertilized.
Something about having a fully-grown fertilized tree, then the farm goes out of the 72 hour window. Then when the farm is fertilized again, the tree(f) - become tree.
The only thing I'm guilty of: Is not regularly chopping my trees, and expecting them to stay in (f) status, until I'm ready to chop them, even through multiple times of fertilizing the field.

As far as I know, as long as the tree or crop grew even 1% while the field was fertilized, your yield should be doubled. I should probably double check on this as you seem the type to rip out my throat if I'm wrong..

Aug 22 2011, 11:45 AM
It happened again today. It seems to be confirmed on my farm, this time farm 1.
1. My cedar trees were (f).
2. Then the farm became unfertilized.
3. I did not chop the trees.
4. I fertilized the farm.
5. I reloaded that farm.
6. The cedar trees, were now regular, not fertilized.
7. First time for the real test:
a. I checked my storage to see how many items I had, 70,810 cedar log piles.
b. I chopped one cedar tree, then checked my storage again, 70,812 cedar log piles.
c. I reloaded the entire game, and checked again (70,812).
d. Chopped 1 more cedar tree (that showed not fertilized). 70,814
8. So... based on this (I'll do the same inventory test on Maples, Pine and Oaks, next time those farms fall out of fert.)...
It looks like this problem is graphically based only.
Dweeb
Aug 25 2011, 01:02 AM
This graphic problem seems to be fixed.
Today, farms with Maples, Pines and Oaks, all became unfertilized.
Before, and after fertilizing - the trees showed (f).
Reloading the farm, and reloading the game, the trees continued to show (f).
It'd have been nice, if someone "official" had replied to say it was fixed; just so I'd know I wasn't losing my mind for the last couple of weeks.
Tomorrow, the Cedar tree farm should become unfertilized, and will pay atten to it. The stumps are showing (f) right now.

I would not know, all of my tree-farms have buildings on top of them. Definitely a space saver. All but farm 10, are staggered farms (I hate harvesting pineapples on a 3-stagger, so farm 10 is my PA farm).

Sorry yes meant haven't. It isn't a system wide problem. In fact very few have reported having any problem with it. If the developers fix something then they have been very good about posting that it is fixed in whatever the last release announcement is and nothing has been added about fixing anything on this.

Try deleting those plots, saving the game, then reloading, if they come back, delete them again.... repeat that until you just have grass after refreshing, then you should be alright to plow new fields again.

This is an ongoing programming glitch.
Is it not fixed.
I had Maple Tree(F), on farm 9. I let them sit. The farm was fertilized. Enough time went by, and the farm became unfertilized; So I fertilized again.
The Displayed trees are now Maple Tree, not Maple Tree (F). I cut a few of them down, and got 2 log credit in my inventory. I reloaded the game, cut a couple more, for 1 log credit for each cut. I visited all my farms, to check their status - all show (F), although some are in stump form.
I came back to farm 9, checked inventory, and cut a couple trees, and got 2 log credit for each.
note: after cutting trees I always verify the stumps show (f). Every day (several times a day), when I log to each farm if they are not (f) I do so. There is zero chance that my farm was not fertilized as these trees were growing. They were fulling grown as were (f).
Or that they'd have to admit that there was a problem in the first place?

Do the flowers look ready to harvest? If they do you should be able to harvest them. If they don't look fully grown and you know they are due to be ready soon, try reloading in a few mins, it just may need a few mins for the data to catch up.

A crop if planted on a farm showing as fertilized will stay fertilized until it is harvested even if the farm shows it isn't fertilized any more because it's 3 days have run out. I have planted as late as 30 mins before the farm's fertilizing ran out and the crop stays fertilized until I harvest.

I have 5 farms. Four of the five work fine. My original farm freezes up. Sometimes I cannot even hire people to work it because they cannot do anything when it freezes. What would make only one of the five farms do this..
I have added another farm and am having no issues with it. I changed my default farm from #1 to #3 and it did not help. I am wondering if somehow in the past, unknowingly, I layered my farm or field. I know absolutely nothing about layering but have learned that fields can be layered on top of each other. I have included a link that I hope leads you to my Farm "Trojan Acres"

My farm 11 has some "dead zone" spots. I can't move the animals into their stalls, trees grow up under the seacoast and I think it is haunted!

On my farm 5, I planted 3 fields. One of my fields that has rhubarb planted in it will not load. The other 2 fields load each time I go to that farm, but the Rhubarb will not. Is there a problem with Rhubarb?

Hello,
Did the crops not make it to your harvest product storage? Was the filter set to "All" or "from plants" when you looked? If they are not showing up there, try the suggestions in the 1st post on page 1.
If, after trying those, it happens again you you'll need to go to the following thread, read the 1st post on page 1, then post a reply there with the information requested.

On farm 1 I planted chives and they are showing as wasted, but when I plow them under they don't stay plowed. They come back as wasted and I get a message that I have 2+ hours to harvest them in. I am being charged for the plowing and getting XP, too. I have emptied my cache and have clicked on the disc icon (which always shows that changes have been saved), yet when I leave that farm and come back the wasted chives have reappeared.

Hello,
Please click on the following link. This is an known issue. Currently the only way around this is to use the combine, or hire someone who has one. When they have been harvested you'll need to refresh/reload/leave the farm and return to see the crops in storage.

Hello,
There can be a delay on information updating from what one person sees on their screen than another, but this usually only happens when the crops have only just become ready to harvest. To make sure there's no problem at your end of things try clearing your caches out to get rid of any old data related to FT that may have caused the problem and double check that all aspects of the time, day, month and year are still showing correct on your computer.

And as you can see, the info says "Ready To Harvest", and still over 5 hours before wasting. Now I lost all my potato's. Has this happened to anyone else?

It is a glitch they are working on and it is the red sprinkler that is causing this. If you have a combine then that will harvest them ok and you will get the product. If you don't have a combine then find a neighbor or buddy that has one and get them to harvest them for you.

Not sure what's going on but I keep losing harvesters. I hire them to harvest and plow and some of the time their avatar moves when they are working and sometimes not. They usually get some of the harvesting done but then disappear. Today I watched as a worker started plowing. I left for a minute to go to one of my other farms and when I returned, she was no longer there and none of the fields were plowed. Also I noticed in the Hiring Marketplace, I can type in the chat box but no one seems to respond to anything I say. Don't know if they are just not looking at the chat box or what.

Are you farms very busy, as in a lot of animals on the farms, layered or staggered fields, trees, flowers or buildings stacked on top of fields? These can all cause problems for workers.

Your link is fine now. Like Al I had a look and don't see anything that should cause you to lose them. Maybe they are leaving because you don't have "enough" work for them or maybe they have all had problems of their own.

When you are hired then either look in place of the gift box for the tool or if it isn't there then it will be in the extended (yellow)toolbox above the map. Those tools do have to be in storage and not on one of your farms to be used for hire.

She cannot use them on other farms even though they are in her storage. The other one has the 2x2 plower and cannot use it on other farms either. Both farmers can use them on their own farms with no problems. I have played the game so long, I can't remember what we had to do to use them. Perhaps be a certain level? A certain number of neighbours? I seem to remember having to buy each one in order to use them....eg the 2x1 then the 2x2 etc. I don't see the 2x1 plower in the market either. Sure hope someone can help with this as it is frustrating to them to have them and not be able to use them. Thanking everyone in advance.

I am guessing you mean this was done by someone you hired. Your internet connection wouldn't have anything to do with it, however they may have had problems with their connection or thought they had gotten everything. What tool were they using if any?

I've reported this before but don't see any 'fix'. When I harvest flowers I get half way through them and then get "already done". This cost me an entire farm of flowers and it's a repeat issue!! The flowers were wilted/dead so I watered them and then started harvesting. I'm really getting tired of losing my flowers. :-(

Yes, it was someone I hired from the marketplace. She just had the regular (one at a time) harvest and plow tools. Everything seemed to be going fine and then suddenly her avatar froze for a while before she disappeared. This is happening on this farm almost every time I hire from the marketplace. I didn't get a chance to ask her if there was a problem or not. Don't know if she would have even seen a message in the chat box or not. It hasn't happened yet when hiring neighbors to work. But, most of the time I have to hire from the marketplace. Hasn't happened on my other farm at all.

Not happy one bit so hows about you sort out the times ADMINS

I don't need help but just had the weirdest thing happen and am wondering if this has happened to anyone else.
I was on one of my farms harvesting trees with the big shaker. All of a sudden it got a mind of its own and started running around the farm highlighting trees. I kind of got it back in control and then it started up again. I reloaded the farm and once again it went off on it's own. LOL
It seems to be okay now, although I'm not 100% sure.
When weirdness happens it always seems to be when they are working on an upgrade. Hmmmm?

You have always been charged for plowing. If you plow your own fields it is 20 coins. If you hire from the market it costs you 15 coins. If you hire a neighbor it costs you 10 coins.

however, the issue w/trying to get a complete window to fully open/access when I want to hire/post for someone to work on my facilities is a bit of a problem......if I share to all my friends it's not an issue, but since many do not play I generally go to "custom" then "specific people" which as I add people the save button disappears......

however, the issue w/trying to get a complete window to fully open/access when I want to hire/post for someone to work on my facilities is a bit of a problem......if I share to all my friends it's not an issue, but since many do not play I generally go to "custom" then "specific people" which as I add people the save button disappears......
thanks for reminding me about the plowing....really don't know what I was thinking, if at all this morning ....
If you don't have a list already of your FT neighbors, try creating one in Facebook. Then you would only have to enter the name for the list (one item).

Hi, I was told a long time ago that when we hire our neighbors to do the work on our farms we get more crops vs doing it ourselves. IS this correct? I do know it cost more to hire from the market vs neighbors. I would also Like to know about the difference of ME doing my OWN farm an hiring neighbors to help, Is there a difference in what I get??
I have a lot of neighbors and it seems to be that most do their own work! I have added an added an it is getting real irritating! People seem to only want to be neighbors to USE the facilities on your farm!!! That is not the total reason for PLAYING FarmTown and it wasnt when I started the game! I try to hire every time I have stuff ready, but I get fed up when people don't reciprocate!!! I would rather just hire from the market at times! I have buddies that want work more than neighbors, and That is another question: How do I know How Much crops etc I get if I hire a buddy? Also If I get hired from a buddy, Is it worth it? since I am using my fuel...
The tools have really made it nice to do the farms but on the other hand it has crippled Farm Town as People do their own work more than they used too an then the ones that don't buy the tools are left to want someone to hire them, which I do some but when I am in a rush its hard to have to wait!

First thing is you do not get more crops when hiring as opposed to doing them yourself. What you do get is a higher value for that crop if you were to sell it in the market. If you are going to use the crop in facilities the higher value doesn't have any effect.
If you have buddys that are more willing to work then your neighbors maybe you should think about making those people your neighbors. I have done that with many of mine. We start out as buddys for hiring and end up becoming neighbors.

Hello. My #8 farm appears to be broken. Half of it is plowed and when I try to plow the rest, or get someone else to plow it, it looks normal, xp's count up, coins go down then POOF!!!!!!! that part is back to harvested again. I would happily plow all day if the xps kept going up but they don't. I have cleared everything and tried a few times - any solution? Thank you.

Hello,
Try deleting all those fields that are misbehaving, save game, then reload. If more reappear just repeat the process until you are back to green. Then try plowing new fields. If that doesn't work and you continue to have problems, do come back and let us know.

Hello,
When hired to harvest crops, you receive 25% of the selling price of the crop you harvest and 10% of the crops. Did you save the game before leaving the farm you were hired on?
You can try reloading FT and see if the coins tally corrects and the crops show up. Other than that, i would recommend the suggestions in the 1st post on page 1 of this thread to clear any old data that may have caused the problem.

If you are hired only for one job (plowing) then your tool should be located in place of the Gift Box and not in your extended tool box.

You need the Tree Shaker tools or you can use the sickle (single harvest). The larger harvesters are only for crops and not trees.

Hello,
How many fields did you harvest? You receive 10% of the crops and 25% of the selling price of the crop you harvest. If it was red maple you harvested it would appear as "maple sap" in your storage.

Red maple trees or yellow? Red ones you harvest, yellow ones you chop.
What exactly is the problem and where are you when you try, your own trees or when hired?

That was not what the option did. If it was checked then the screen moved to follow what the avatar was doing. That option is no longer available.
Your avatar is following what you are doing because the avatar has to complete what you have clicked on for it to do. There is no option to freeze the avatar. However you do not have to wait until the avatar finishes. When you have finished clicking on what needs to be done, click the save button at top and move to another farm. The work will be completed.

Hello,
As well as clearing browser cache, have you tried restarting your router or updating the flash player for the browser you use (unless it's chrome which has it's own built in)?
You could try using another browser, see if that works better for you. Some work better than others, it's a matter of finding one that suits you.

When you harvest your crops go into your storage. To get paid for the crop you will have to go to the market and sell that crop. That is the only way you get paid for harvesting.

So I'm not sure if these two issues are related or not. There have been a few occasions when I go to my farm, knowing that there are flowers to be harvested, but before I can do that, I need to irrigate them to bring them back to life. So I do, they show up ready to harvest, as they should be, and I harvest them. I check in my storage and see that in fact the harvests have been placed there, but when I go to reload my farm and then check the storage, all the flowers I just harvested are no longer in there, as if I had never harvested them, yet the flowers are now showing as having just been harvested and won't be ready for another 1.3 days. This has now happened 3 times.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

This and other issues have been going on at least 3 days. I've cleaned my cashe and that didn't help. Nothing has helped. Having a problem on FB too. Maybe it's a FB problem. I've thought about going back in time (recovery) for my laptop, but doubt that would help. I've thought about deleting FB and re doing that but do not want to lose my FT stuff.
