I've been reading replies associated with the new bonus feature and suggestions were made to click on 'save icon' before collecting bonus and moving off current farm. But I don't know where this icon is? Can anyone help please.

PS wondering when the bonus gliches will be sorted out. I've worked a lot of farms and have been unable to collect as the message says I need to finish work but the work is complete.

I think they are referring to the old floppy disk symbol at the top of the farm screen. It is the first one to the right of the farm name.

I've not attempted to collect any bonus yet - so I may be wrong - if so I am sure someone will set the record straight.

I just tried this - froze a ripe flower, then hired someone to do flowers. When they got to the frozen flower, of course they couldn't harvest it and couldn't claim the bonus, so I came over and unfroze the flower. They again tried to harvest it and this time got the odd message "this flower was not harvested in time and has gone to waste".

They then reloaded the current farm by clicking on the yellow diamond in the farm selector. The flower now showed dimmed out to them - and they were able to collect their bonus.

So...

If you encounter frozen flowers that prevent you claiming a bonus, you can try this:

1. ask the farmer to unfreeze them for you; then
2. when/if they do, try to harvest the unfrozen flowers, and
3. after that, reload the farm using the farm selector.

This method does depend on the farmer being willing to unfreeze the flowers. It's a workaround, not a solution.

(It's possible that other techniques will also work - this is just one that I have tested myself and which worked for me. I can't guarantee that it will work in all cases.)

Sad that peeps won't get their bonuses if flowers are frozen, but I for one, don't want to unfreeze those I purposely froze. I have some flower ART on my farm and don't want them harvested, but the other flowers can be. Maybe the devs will be able to work out the issue on their end.

I LOVE the chest bonuses! But we shouldn't have to work so hard to get 'em. Work hard for the farmer who hired us, yes. But the farmer shouldn't have to follow us to the farm to hide any semis, oil rigs or other tools that might have things hiding behind them - and we shouldn't have to worry about frozen flowers or trees planted so close together you can't possibly fine the exact one that's still ripe. Instead, how about a "Show me what I missed" button the employee can use? That could make everything that's non-harvestable on the farm totally disappear (not just be dimmed). That would include tools. And maybe even the background color of the farm should be changed to white because I know some of my flowers are hard to see on the sandy colored background of one of my farms. And we need an exception for frozen flowers - shouldn't be penalized for not harvesting those. There. Did that cover all that we need?

Oh no, wait! I have one other thing on my wish list: I think neighbors should be able to claim the chest, too. I understand about trying to encourage us to hire newer folks - and I like to do that and am all for it. But just now, someone hired me from the Marketplace and I didn't see any chests to work for and my thought was, "@#%$(^@! Must be a neighbor of mine! I don't want to work for neighbors!" Whoaaaaa . . . THAT'S certainly not a neighborly way to feel! Well, heck. I honestly don't know what to do about this part of my request because I do understand about wanting to encourage hiring strangers. I just think it can create bad ju-ju among neighbors, which isn't a good thing.

All the worker has to do is use their 'dim' feature and everything becomes hidden/dimmed except the crops ready to be worked

Bet someone else has already responded to this LOL

Here is another issue with the bonuses. I went to a farm that has raspberries ready, but only about 90% of them were ready and I didn't notice (farmer did not wait until everything ready before hiring - he just assumed they would be ready by the time he got somebody). Anyway, I was hired to H/P and fish (there were large oceans and boated lakes along with some other stuff) and I was also hired to do trees, both regular and chop. Anyway, I did everything and it took a ridiculous amount of time. Of course, during this time, the last remaining crops were ready, yet I couldn't refresh to get them. I lost a HUGE bonus of salmon and cod, which are about the 2 most sought after items, at least for me. This is wrong - if the crops are not ready when you arrive at a farm, they should not be taken into consideration for the whole time you are there. As it stands now, I have to look at every single crop to see whether or not it will come due anytime soon, (and some people do quest farms with lots and lots of crops on each farm).

Well, I love the dim feature, but it isn't perfect. Someone doing my trees couldn't get the bonus cause they couldn't find the tree that was unharvested even though they were using the dim feature. My trees are set up for being harvested with a shaker. I came and looked for quite a while before I found this tree and the only reason I did was because I slowly moved the shaker over the entire field and when I moved it over it the pop up saying ready to harvest came up. Before finding it, I would have sworn all the trees were harvested and still am wondering if I accidentally placed a small tree among some bigger ones, so that it is hidden. I have them arranged by types, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a little one in with some bigger ones. I love the idea of a button to show me what still needs done just in case a problem like this arises.

I too use the dim feature but quite often I find I have to put down say the shaker and click on the sickle for harvest.... its then I find the elusive tree.
Worth a go. Nothing to lose.

Yeah, I agree. The dim feature helps but not enough now that we're all interested in claiming the bonuses. When stuff is all planted together it's too hard to see what's left in the middle of the clump.

Hi,

This sometimes occurs if there has been a fault in the request uploading. All I can suggest you can do, is to ask your friends to send a new request out and then it should work. It did for another member we have helped who had the same problem.

Hi, some have reported to me on facebook saying they can't claim their bonus after working on farms in the market. thank you
ps: why can't we get bonuses for even our neighbours working our farms. I hire my honey who is my neighbour and it is unfair coz she doesnt get bonuses, yet she finishes all my farms. If i hire from the market, they mostly quit after a few farms. please address this so that everyone can enjoy FT exactly the same - Thank you

Not sure where to put this so if it needs moved please do so mods. :)

Tonight when harvesting for a neighbor I noticed instead of an arrow I'm getting a white hand. I get the icon for whichever tool I'm using. I noticed on trees it gave me the hand when I highlighted on top of the tree and the arrow when I highlighted from the side of the tree. Anyone else having this problem???

And I'm getting it on and off while seeding my farms now.

great news that now its no longer necessary to click on the save icon before the chest anymore..thanks guys...though its going to be a bit hard for me to break that habit!! hehe I find clicking on save gets rid of that annoying black box ...loading....etc..praying that a fix comes for the annoying frozen flower problem soon...instead of making flowers frozen, maybe give the option to change them to a decoration?

its only for strangers hired at the marketplace that the bonus comes into play for...the hired person has to finish all the work they are hired for on a farm, then click on the save icon, then on the chest...failure to do this results in an expired bonus message...and if hired for crops and flowers, just one frozen flower will prevent the worker from collecting all they have gained on that farm..a farm has to be done before moving on to the next one...you cannot hop back and forward and still get the bonus... also if you forget to collect the bonus...its gone!!! lol

Just reporting a couple of anomalies to the devs that I noticed on my farm when I went in this morning to do the harvesting.

1. One of my farms was not watered with the tree sprinkler. I know for absolute sure that it was done yest morning cos I've occasionally had this problem before. So now I triple check that it is done! My routine is to sprinkle, mouse over sprinkler to ensure it says the 19 hour thing, click off sprinkler, check to see that farm is watered, move onto the next farm and do the same.

When all farms are done, I double back and check each farm to make sure it has stuck.

2. On two other farms some trees were only half-grown when they should have been ready to harvest. Red maple and rubber are the ones I can remember. All other trees and crops on both farms that should have been ready were fully grown from the accelerated sprinkler application the morning before.

3. Yesterday, a belt bonus just never popped up after producing. I know it should have cos I checked the number (84) needed to reach the next level and then checked the number (97) I could produce with the "all" click. I didn't have a crop belt to post so I selected a product to post instead, that's how I know exactly what I did and the result. I've heard about neigh's pop-ups being late by hours recently too.

4. Two neighbours have been unable to work my facs and servs. One gave up after trying several times without success (yesterday). The other tried 4 times on each one before she got the request (today). I encountered the same thing a few days ago.

I use memcache regularly and clean regularly as well.

Hello Farm Town Guru's.
I assume you are working on the problems with the frozen flowers. I just lost $120,000. coins because there were frozen flowers left that I could not harvest. That happen to me on two different farm. I use the fade out function and had everything harvested, fished, chopped, etc. This is a very frustrating error.

The 97 includes the extras from the belt you're currently on. The 84 does not. 97/84=1.15, so if you're black belt or higher, you'll probably get it the next time you load.

Are you using the Store All or the Cash Out before looking? The China Buffet is a service facility which you would have to use the Cash Out to unload it.

Taz, this is a problem I have brought up in the past. I'd bet FarmCash the products in question are not facility produced, but are either Watermelon, Mushroom, or Rice. The workaround is to make sure you also clear a facility-produced item. The downside is that if you watch your coins carefully, you actually get no additional coins for the Watermelon, Mushroom, or Rice.

I use the cash out button at the top. The problem is...there is nothing in there to cash out. I don't get coins for the items, they just show up as ready. And the items are Watermelon, Mushroom and Rice. It says I have 10 units of each ready, but there is nothing there.

Add Fried Rice or Grilled Mushrooms or something, and when that is done, Cash Out will make all 4 products show 0 ready.

Aaaah yes, that would be it Spartan! I recall that I did get a bonus belt request for it the next time I loaded but it didn't jog my mind to make that conclusion.

if you are using big tools for the work, it pays to change to the single tool and thats when the problem fish, or flower, or tree shows up and you can then get it...they said we don't need to click on save before the chest to get the bonus but I still do...its become a habit...and I rarely get the expired message...only when I forget to click on save first!!!:)

Farmer_Susan
Jan 11 2013, 09:58 AM
Hey! I just had a great idea - or at least I think it's a great idea. : ) The treasure chest thing makes what we hire people for important. For example, if I'm in the Marketplace and I know someone only wants to chop but not do flowers, I'm happy to only hire them to chop so they can get the reward. I can always hire someone else for the flowers so they'll get a reward, too. So . . . how about having a way that people wanting to be hired can click checkboxes telling what they want to do? The information would be displayed on the screen somehow so that as an employer coming to the Marketplace, I could automatically see what people are interested in without having to ask, wait to see who responds, guess, etc. Maybe it could become their status message or something. I think checking boxes would be easier than having to write something each time. Maybe this has already been suggested. I just thought of it and figured I'd make the suggestion.

Farmer_Susan
Jan 11 2013, 10:01 AM
Well heck. Just thought of an improvement on my improvement. Why not provide the same checkboxes for employers? That way I can automatically advertize what I'm hiring for - employees will be advertizing what they want to do and we can find the matches more easily. Sheesh . . . it's beginning to sound like online dating! LOL

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Jan 7th, 5:50PM EST.


Post Release Updates (Jan 2nd, 6:40PM EST):

- We fixed the 'Expire' message when collecting the employee bonus, this happened when working alone or when multiple workers were present in the farm. You will not have to click on the Save Disk icon anymore to avoid the 'Expire' message.

- FYI, the fact that there are multiple workers at the same time on the farm should not interfere with the bonus collection process.

Post Release Updates (Jan 7th, 5:50PM EST):

- Employees should now be able to collect bonuses on farms containing frozen or unwatered flowers.

Known Issues:

- None

Last night I was working a field and I still ran across the expired message and then on another field of the same farm I had one that wouldn't give me the bonus because it said I hadn't finished everything yet. I selected each tool one my one and couldn't find anything that wasn't completed yet. It would be helpful in that message to tell us what still needed to be worked.

thanks again for the update

Susan, it still wouldn't work! I am very specific when I go to the market. I will put up messages such as:

I need someone with fast internet access
and tree tools
for a packed tree farm
The Torture Chamber

I still get people offering to harvest it when they are on level 10 and can only do x1. lol It's not surprising that they leave after doing only a few trees.

Our workers are keen and optimistic but not always realistic.

I know I have seen it mentioned on here before, but when you are hired from the marketplace to work for someone and you start working and the treasure chest is there you can collect your bonus. The problem is if they hire you again to either add other things to harvest or more farms the chest does not come up after they hire you again.

You have to be hired from the market place and not on their farm, so they either have to hire you for everything to begin with or you would have to go back to the market place and they can re-hire you there.

I lost about 50,000 dollars and numerous points when hired to work on another player farm, he hired me to do 8 farms, chopped, harvest, flowers and harvest trees. everytime i would think i had completed a farm, would go to collect the bonuses. it would say job not completed. i would go back and try my best to find out what i had not finished. could not find anything left. when thru all tools available, still could not find the missing link. got mad and went to the next farm, still same results. i did this on 3 farms totally. very upset about the whole thing. i know i want get my bonues but i had to voice my complaint.

I still get people offering to harvest it when they are on level 10 and can only do x1. lol It's not surprising that they leave after doing only a few trees.

Our workers are keen and optimistic but not always realistic.

Yeah - I've had that happen, too. So it won't fix all the problems but I still think it would be an improvement. What I'm mostly thinking is that the checkboxes would help me find employees faster. If I can scan their status and see exactly what they want to do, it's faster than if I say, "I've got this and this and this - who wants it?" And then I have to sit and wait for replies. Some just say "Me!" when they only want one thing - but they don't say that so I hire them for everything I advertised and everyone loses. They don't finish - I have to go find more employees, etc.

Of course . . . people would have to use the checkboxes, which many wouldn't. But some would.

Love your "Torture Chamber". :)

I am sure people are losing out on the bonus due to the fact so many do not know about the Dim Out Non Relevant Items for Tools function in preferences....just had a farmer shake an entire farm of fruit trees and leave clumps behind that I went and did..also had 4 day crops on this farm so the farmer lost a huge bonus...and now another one has missed 4 flowers and lost a huge bonus from a full farm of wall to wall flowers!!!

You can't sell the manure as far as I know. It doesn't show up anywhere that you can sell it.

Raul, I'm sorry to post this here in this forum but I have emailed Slashkey four times in an attempt to resolve an issue. I have approximately 17 facilities that have disappeared from my farms for a total of $316 Farm Cash and 5,440,000 coins. Is there anything you can do to help me out? Pass the info along to other developers? Restore my farm to a previous date of January 4, 2013 when all my facilities were there and working properly? I have gotten no response from Slashkey whatsoever that they have even received my emails. Even an automated response, we are in receipt of your email, etc., would be better than nothing at all. Please help!

Thanks,
CM

If you have not gotten the automated response with your ticket numbers, then look in your spam folder to see if the emails have gone there. It can take anywhere from a few hours up to a couple weeks for them to respond depending on how many other tickets are ahead of yours.
Unfortunately they do not restore items to your farm, but instead give a refund if they decide it is warranted.
By the way your link to your farm is incorrect.

Thank you, Taz, for your response. I checked my junk mail and there is no automated response from Slashkey. As for the link to my farm, I have followed the directions to link it and I don't seem to get the correct linking info from the address window. I don't know what I'm doing wrong so I don't know how to fix it.

Hi!

I'm having a terrible time collecting bonuses. Many many times the bonus resets in the middle of a huge job and I end up collecting 8,000$ for 2 million worth of work. Please fix. thanks

Please give a giant bonus to the dev or devs who thought of the turbo boat and the dimmer switch... two of the BEST tools EVER in FT !!!

That's right

I love them!

Open the Farm Selector Manager in your toolbox. Click on the Copy Link button at the bottom of that screen. Then go to your signature in here and edit it to paste that link into it in place of the other one. That is the easiest way to do it now.

It should not reset as long as you stay on one farm and complete all jobs on that farm, click the save, collect your bonus then change to the next farm and repeat.

that has happened to me also, the coin amount changes back and forward...usually if more than one farmer is working....very annoying and confusing..so now if someone else is working on a farm I was also hired to do, I leave....I guess if we all do this, those farmers who overhire will find nothing done and learn to hire one person per farm...here's hoping, lol

I know what you mean. I lost all my coins last week. I am talking over 15 billion coins. SK has yet to fix that situation. I have finally received 1 email from them and I have replied to it several days ago. I guess I need to look to see if anything else is missing like buildings and so forth.

but I just saw your profile... oh wait, that was on the Post Office wall.... hhmmm

and with the rumors that Flash will be a thing of the past in a couple of weeks, make sure you have the version you want loaded, so you can use that until a replacement swings into effect.

well, I did a google search and there are a LOT of articles and links on the subject.... but we can hang on to Flash, because it still has so much use for so many users....

maybe, when the devs start another game like a Farm Town Phase II, we might see the use of HTML5 or something new/newer

I am not sure what happening today. I keep getting knocked out of what I am doing. Just now, I was loading my factories, and suddenly I was back on my farm. This has happened three times today.

Has the Wizard struck again?
