Hi, I don't know about anyone else, but I liked it alot better when the colors changed from farm to farm that the Mayor worked, atleast we new where the Mayor was.

The FT Mayor absolutely needs to be watched at all times.... Since he has not been kidnapped in recent memory, he is getting a little too big for his britches !!

:cool:

I love the new updates. Appears there may be a glitch though. When I am trying to work or refer on a friends farm (from a post on the wall) it only goes to a certain pint before the mayor says "Moving on to next farm" and then it won't let me work any more farms after that

I've used this and it doesn't always work right. I have had farms on my farm that were not worked because of it. I worked all of one person's farms and the mayor said he worked the last 2. I reloaded the person's farms from the work facilities request and there was 2 that I was able to work because the mayor did not work them.

That shaved ice cart is the teeniest, cutest, most colorful AND flavorful little purchase ever. I fell instantly in love with it.

The syrup factory is also very pleasing to me. ♥

I'm gonna go with...AWESOME update this time South Florida!! I actually pounce on facility/service posts when I see them now.

So when can we expect the problem with allowing others to use our tools and *fuel* to be fixed??? Sheesh, some of the most eager to actually do any real work nowadays in this game are the newer players, and their fuel levels are not adequate to complete the farms they're hired for, even though I have allowed them to use my tools and fuel. Then I have to go thru the same rigamorole with others who are in the same boat, with not enough fuel. Was this feature thoroughly tested before being implemented??? Once again, too many new and major features rolled out together in one update. Always problematic.

Facebook made changes and messed that up. Your better choice now is to use the Games Feed from your Facebook Home page.

my Game Feed link on my home page has been erased by FB. i still have the link though ( https://www.facebook.com/apps/feed ) but only 1/2 the posts showed up on there. some of the rest showed up on my Home Page but not all.

i think i'm going to have to start making a post of my posts

/sigh at FB breaking, er fixing, not broke stuff

Once you have closed the Games feed all of those posts are considered by Facebook as having been seen and they don't show them to you again. That is why when you go to work those right clickon the Games feed to open in a new tab. Then right click on any post you want to work to open it in a new tab and only close the work. Go back to the Games feed and work the next one.

still finding that the mayor is a liar, :) he is not working all the farms even when he says he is...also I still get that "Oops," message when doing referrals...he then proceeds to move to the next farm but if say there are 3 farms to do...he is only doing 2....making it necessary to go to all farms, uncover buildings and manually click on one on each farm to check, and this can be a bit difficult as some people have their facs hidden inside larger buildings...maybe the mayor needs to retire..some new blood is needed..he is getting a bit past it... hehehe
I also prefer the way the farms changed color as he worked..at least that way we have some idea of which ones he has worked...now we have no idea at all.....whoever changed this needs to fix it asap....

Last night I tried working facilities for 4 neighbors. Each time I got to the first farm for each one, I was only prompted to water, rake or whatever. After doing this I then tried both refreshing their farm and going back to their original hire request post. I would return to their farm but never got the work facility pop up.

On another note, now when I go to the Market to Hire someone I cry out:
"Who wants to shake a tree farm? I have fuel and the tools for YOU to use"

Thank you Developers for this!
xoxoxo

I get that a lot Rugged Barbie, usually when I've hired more than one farmer to harvest my farms and go off to raid factories while they're working. Guessing the server can't cope with too much input at once as it also happens the few times I've tried to work 2 neighbours facilities at the same time. Even after clearing memcache and browser cache and logging out and back into FB it sometimes takes 5 or 6 reloads of the 'i would like to hire you' post before the 'sure take me there' dialogue box appears. If it's not letting you do factories, try doing the services (presuming your neighbour posts both) then going back to factories - that sometimes kickstarts the mayor back into action. Hope that helps.

Please let us know whether or not you had the box checked. It may be a new issue the moderators need to investigate since not many people have tried using the feature yet and not many have asked.

Hi, I hired someone a little while ago and she didn't see any tools displayed for her to use.
I went back to the market and made sure that both tools & fuel were checked off for her to use. They were ... I just figured it was another one of the glitches that are being worked on.

But am mentioning it now, because you asked us to.

today i tried to work posts from somebody i worked yesterday morning - got the oops message for all farms on both posts - always thought we had to wait at least 8 hours - this was almost 24 since i worked - also finding i get the oops message on at least 1 farm (except for the one person who only had 2 farms available)

just an update - took a break from working facs & clients from 3pm yesterday until 4am today - worked 6 people - got the oops message 3 of 12 times - rest appeared to go as advertised - beginning to think this may be something that will happen now and then - at least the mayor appeared to work them all

When that happens to me I switch to another browser. No browser is perfect, which is why I recommend having at least 2 in addition to the one that has been installed with your operating system - and yeah. That goes for Linux users too! ;)

Also be sure it is an invitation to work the factories. In the first week or two it is easy to mistake "I just bought a frozen treats factory" for "please help me with my facilities" just because you've seen the picture. Even after 5 years of Farm Town some of us are still in the habit of doing things in automatic mode! :D

I am able to go to all tabs send gifts, neighbors tab etc and it still wont load my farm, so it isnt just a problem with not being able to work facilities

Bringing up Quest Manager. Look at current Quest. Click to close out Quest. Copy goes away but the big Quest Screen stay open - Blank on inside - I have to reload page to get the blank Quest Screen to close. This has happened for several days now. Not sure if this is from new release.

Also, with let worker use my fuel and tools boxes checked, I find some workers are working one tree at a time or one field at a time.

I have reported this before, when farms become unfertilized some of the trees do also. With this last release my sunflowers that were fertilized became unfertilized when the rest of the farm did. I am also not able to work facilities for some reason.

Mar 17 2014, 10:17 AM
Please keep your posts in this thread to the subject of the release. Posts concerning not being able to work facilities or can't load farm are not from this release. Please post those problems in the Help & Support section.
The fuel problem and the oops when working services and facilities have been reported to the developers.

Many thanks for the 3 Train lists back again and in alphabetical order too. :D Brilliant! I know I am sad but I have five trains and work through the people boosting them in alphabetical order. I then cross them off my list when they boost the train so I don't pester anyone with requests who isn't interested. It was really difficult keeping track when the list changed but I'm very happy the A - Z list is back. Thank you.

Mar 17 2014, 04:33 PM
Still having that frustating OOPS window openeing 1 out of 2 times and since normally the biggest farm containing failities or refer clients is the one by default and that this famous window is opening on the first farm it reaaly bad to loose most of the items we are entitled to get. My other point is concerning the change of color when the Mayor is working farms. After discussions with my french speaking Canadians neighbors it appears that all of them prefer the change as they can find where to go when the mayor has completed his work especiallt those havaing less than 2 complete 10 long cars trains

Hi everyone,

Update on the fuel issue when hired... Until this is fixed, there is a workaround, It seems that the issue doesn't effect the individual tools, only the combine harvest/plow. So if you're hired to do both, use the harvest tool then plow seperately.

I would like to say, in general terms, that NO message from Farm Town should begin with 'Ooops'. It makes me want to put my fist through the screen!

I too have been having problems getting in to the game since the update. Computer hangs on the 'loading user' screen.

I am finding that I only get the Oops message when doing the referrals...normal facilities get worked every time...my server is WF4, Google Chrome, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 thanks to the devs who I am sure are working on solving this glitch...also I have found that by checking my facilities I can see which farm is the main one being missed when people work my farms...for some reason farm 8 seems to not get as much help as the other 19, :)

I ahve jsut found a work around for ff users to send gifts and train boosts. Hope this is the right place to tell you all.
1. have your fb page open
2.open options in ff browser
3.open content tab
4.open exceptions on block popup windows
5.type facebook in
6.click allow
7. close all and then refresh bowser and all should work
I have just sent a train boost via ff before and gifts as well.

Which browser you are using has nothing to do with the oops for working facilities. It happens in all browsers. The developers are working on the oops problem.

I decided to reload the job offer and change the farm # to the 1st one on the list that said "oops..." and I was able to collect for that farm, then I just exit since the other farms were just done. I have tested this more then once, maybe 5-6 times today and I just did it again. Oh ya please bring back the colour changing after the farm has been worked. Thank you and Happy FarmingHi,

Taz I did not have that facebook.com in mine but my husband did and could not send gifts or boost his train at all until he did what i did. the facebook.com was to do with his apps that he had on his tablet not to do with his laptop. i only own a desktop and mine is still working well when it didnn't work before i changed to what i have writen before. my daughter also couldn't send gifts or train boosts with jsut ff until she changed things as well. hope that clears things up for you.

Try going to the farms from the link a second time. I found one I did earlier today and went back to it. It worked the first farm but gave the oops for the rest because I had already been there.

I just loaded my farm in Firefox and was able to accept a gift and send one back, then went in and had to unload my train and dispatch, then I was able to use the boost to send to my neighbors, so it looks like FB finally got it fixed. I usually use Chrome, but wanted to test in Firefox.

Post Release Updates - March 19th, 5:00AM EST

- After many hours trying to find a workaround for the friend request issues in IE and Firefox, Facebook finally released a fix today or reverted back what they did before, we will continue monitoring.

- The sharing employers fuel is now working when employees use the harvest-plow combines

Ok, so now that the mayor is helping, I'm a factory-working FIEND. Problem is, if I look for factory/services posts on FB, they seem to throw them out in random order and often I end up with posts that are 12 or more hours old - that I've either already worked and/or are pretty maxed out. I went to my "My Requests" game feed and they seem to be in order there but I only have a handful of posts - maybe 10 total, which includes the "new high score" and other stuff that doesn't really help me. I found 2 factory/service posts there this morning - that's all.

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to find these? Can we have more posts on our "My Requests" page?

Hi, this is something facebook did, those with the new layout seem to be those that are effected.

i believe if you go to the game feed, again, you'll see different posts. so make sure when you click on posts, you use the right mouse button and open in new tab, that way you can get back to that page of posts.

You might also try searching for a Facebook bonus app (there are several) that lists bonuses from the last 24 hours. They are very helpful and unless someone has a post that happens to appear first thing when I log into Facebook in the morning, I use one of them to run through a list without posts for games I do not play and so forth instead of looking at the wall.

I have 4 FT accounts, I am the only one that worked my fac's yesterday--half of the farms that were supposedly done by the mayor were worked, half were not, yet when I went to the farms to try and do them manually I got the usual " you have already worked this facility today". My production ranged from 72% to 24% done on facs that were all 100% full to start, yet I or the mayor "supposedly" worked them....needs fixing!!!

Ok, so now that the mayor is helping, I'm a factory-working FIEND. Problem is, if I look for factory/services posts on FB, they seem to throw them out in random order and often I end up with posts that are 12 or more hours old - that I've either already worked and/or are pretty maxed out. I went to my "My Requests" game feed and they seem to be in order there but I only have a handful of posts - maybe 10 total, which includes the "new high score" and other stuff that doesn't really help me. I found 2 factory/service posts there this morning - that's all.

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to find these? Can we have more posts on our "My Requests" page?

Hi Farmer Susan. I have the new FB newsfeed(hate it). Under your profile picture on the upper left side it says Newsfeed. There is a little arrow to click. Make sure it says "most recent stories". It helps, but sometimes the posts are still out of sync as far as time frame.

So I forked over alot of cash to purchase some train cars so I could take advantage of the new promise of being able to help faster. Was really excited about it. Unfortunately, now when I click to help someone in their facilities all the game will let me do is visit and rake or water. VERY bummed out. Anyone else experiencing this? Just started being able to send gifts again last night though.

Post Release Updates - March 19th, 5:00AM EST

- After many hours trying to find a workaround for the friend request issues in IE and Firefox, Facebook finally released a fix today or reverted back what they did before, we will continue monitoring.

- The sharing employers fuel is now working when employees use the harvest-plow combines

Known Issues:

- Random "Oops ..." message when mayor working facilities
- When leveling up, the unlocked items are shown but players may lose context if they are hired or sowing, etc
- Farms completed by Mayor have no indicator now, we will paint them in a different color, like dark blue

That is going to be done as well as fixing the oops for working them.

Hi everyone,

Raul just posted in the top post

Post Release Updates - March 19th, 10:37PM EST

- Fixed the "Oops ..." message when mayor working facilities
- When working facilities, farms worked by the mayor are now colored dark blue. As usual, farms worked by you will be dark green and pending farms to be worked, light blue
- When employees select a tool that require fuel the fuel icon will be shown on the top left corner
- When leveling up, you will not lose your context after checking the unlocked items, ex: if you were planting you will be able to continue planting immediately, same tool, same seeds, etc.
- More information provided in the scenario where you click on a facility post and when you land in the farm you are not actually hired and can't work the facilities

Please let us know if there are any issues

I am having major problems with the mayor helping. Not all farms are being worked. A friend who has no trains worked my facilities and told me after working 3 farms, the mayor helped with the remaining 9, when I have facilities on all 20 farms. Also when working the first farm, the mayor kept popping up saying I will complete the work on this farm for you, he kept coming back after clicking on OK.

When working facilities and services, I keep getting the pop up that the mayor will work all "??" facilities on this farm. I click OK and it pops up the exact same message without saying it sent any products to my storage. The number of times it pops back up depends on the number of farms that require work. Then I get the message that it will complete the remaining farms for me and that shows it sending products to my storage. I think I am missing the products I should be getting for about half the farms.

Ok heres what its doing......when the you complete the farm......instead of the mayor popping up and telling you how many products you received it just repeats the help with facilities on that farm......if you keep hitting the thanks it just keeps popping up.....which apparently counts as another farm so when the mayor helps with remaining farms....its off. For now until its fixed you can hit the x in the corner when it pops up the second time instead of the thanks and go to next farm. Thats seems to help with when the mayor helps at the end. Otherwise you have to go back and reload to get the ones the mayor didnt get. Not even sure im getting products on the ones i work.

I go to the next one and it says since I have 2 trains dispatched, he'll finish them. I look and only 2 of the 4 remaining farms are changed to dark blue. I went to the still green farms, and nothing happens.

MY information:
I have both trains full so mayor is supposed to work all farms.
The first set I did after this was posted by Raul had only 1 farm of services and 6 farms for facilities. Services worked right. Facilities Mayor only worked the first farm. Closed and went back and mayor worked the other 5 farms.
The second set I did again had 1 services farm and 6 facility farms. Both parts worked correctly.

So if you have only worked 1 set so far please try a second set and see if it works correctly.

We will gather as much information and pass it on to the developers. This has been a major change to how Farm Town works so please be patient as they work on getting it right.

Worked as many facility and referral posts as I could find. The mayor seemed to have completed all the farms that were available without a single "Oops" message.
I very much like that the farms turn dark blue as they are worked, but would feel better if the farm that I started on would turn dark blue too. No biggie, just sayin'.
One thing that I noticed is that while the mayor says he's working (for instance) farms 17 and 20, the farms that are highlighted on the farm grid are actually farms 18 and 19. Is this because people have rearranged their farms?
Thank you so much for the work all facilities option! Now the only barrier I have to being a facility working fool is that I have to search through the FB feed for posts. :rolleyes:

Hi try running the memcache cleaner, that usually works to fix that

I don't have any trains at all. So the ones he has missed you have to do one by one now? I like the old way, just say that you had 50 facilities on a farm, you would do 25 and he would do the rest.

The mayor still does 50% of the factories on a farm for those that doesn't have any trains.

It is just now that they have added that the mayor can do all farms from the first farm you get to if you have 2 trains with 10 boxcars each, but if you don't have the 20 boxcars then the mayor will work only 25 - 40% of the workable farms as long as they have at least 3 workable farms.

You only need the trains if you want the mayor to do everything. Otherwise You work 50% of the 60% of the farms and then the mayor takes over and does the rest for you.

You don't have to uncheck anything for the new facilities. Anything that is used for the new facilities has already been taken out of the Non-ingredients.

Before this update, the game automatically saved the option I use most often at the market when I go to sell. Non-ingredients under the storage tab, and animals under the items tab. Now it reverts back to 'all' every time. Any chance this a glitch instead of a change?? I hope it can go back to remembering my most common choice.

I absolutely think this is one of the best updates EVER, there have been a few before but with the Major doing all facs if you own 2 engines with 10 cars each is FANTASTIC, now it is like before you have to really be fast to get the posts. I haven't really worked anyone facs for about 2 years but am doing them now everyday. My friends and neighbours already loved me before but they are madly in love with me now, so thanks Raul and team :-)

Mar 21 2014, 06:55 PM
for reference for us no train people. it was stated the mayor would do 25% - 40% of the number of farms as long as there were 3 or more farms to do.

if your neighbor has N farms, your friend does Y farms, and the mayor does M farms.

N Y M %
3 2 1 33
4 3 1 25
5 3 2 40
6 4 2 33
7 5 2 28
8 5 3 37.5 *will probably be this one
8 6 2 26
9 6 3 33
and so it seems the most efficient number of facility farms is 3 with the majority of the facilities on the last farm.

The Mayor seems to have finally sorted his job out now. My problem is I have missing crops or they just don't get to my storage.. eg. corn, tomatoes, wheat, sugar just to name a few. Nothing has changed by way of my using them.. it just doesn't add up. Anyone else getting robbed of their crops? Some of my friends are posting they're running out of main crops with no replies from Slashkey

You need 2 different locomotives - they can be on the same farm or different farms. You can however have the same cars on one train as the other. Hope this helps.

It may have something to do with which browser you use and the security settings. I have Waterfox, Cool Nova, Maxthon, and Opera in addition to Internet Explorer and they each have differing ways of doing the auto-complete and following the settings to clear browsing history, last session, and cache. So one of them gives me All as the selected category once in while but not every time and the others stay on non-ingredients.

All I can suggest is clearing the Farm Town cache using the link below and see if that makes a difference or trying another browser.

You need 2 different locomotives - they can be on the same farm or different farms. You can however have the same cars on one train as the other. Hope this helps.

as 2 follow-up Questions....

[1] Since there are 13 different FC cars to choose from, and 10 are required to get Major help, and 20 are required to get total help.....

then obviously there will be duplicate FC cars and they can be on the same farm.

...so... if I wanted to increase my Petro Barrels... could I have, say 5 Long Tank Cars on one train on one farm, and maybe 5 more on the other train on the same farm ??

and

[2] Since I can have at least two of the same FC cars on the same farm, and they will both produce (and I assume both can be Boosted), do you think that the devs be allowing multiples of other FC facilities on the same farm both/all of which will produce?

tengunn
Mar 22 2014, 09:37 AM
This is what I find in the forum under trains. Says to me you can have one of each train and up to 5 of each freight car but they must be on different farms.

Yes, you may send 1 Standard Freight Locomotive and 1 Advanced Freight Locomotive and 1 Supreme Freight Locomotive and 1 Ultimate Freight Locomotive and 1 Turbo Freight Locomotive, enabling you to send 5 trains at once. You can NOT have 2 of the same locomotives.

You may have 1 Long Boxcar of each type per train, if you purchase another of the same Long Boxcars, it will have to be coupled to the other train. Meaning you can have a total of 5 of each boxcar so long as they are on different trains. Any additional Long Boxcars would serve only as decorations and will not carry any products.

I have two engines on my farm with 10 cars each so the Mayor is working all of the facilities. This morning I work regular facilities where one farm had most of the facilities and several farms had just a few. It worked the farms with fewer facilities fine, but on the big farm it said I received "0" (zero) products, I am not sure which farm number it was but it was in the middle of the farms being worked.

This happened with a different neighbor yesterday. She has 4 farms with regular facilities only. The three farms with a few worked fine, then it worked the fourth farm with the majority of her facilities and again said I got "0" products.

as 2 follow-up Questions....

[1] Since there are 13 different FC cars to choose from, and 10 are required to get Major help, and 20 are required to get total help.....

then obviously there will be duplicate FC cars and they can be on the same farm.

...so... if I wanted to increase my Petro Barrels... could I have, say 5 Long Tank Cars on one train on one farm, and maybe 5 more on the other train on the same farm ??

and

[2] Since I can have at least two of the same FC cars on the same farm, and they will both produce (and I assume both can be Boosted), do you think that the devs be allowing multiples of other FC facilities on the same farm both/all of which will produce?
You can only 1 of each car on a train. the duplicates will act the same way a duplicate facilty would as decoration only.
No they are not allowing duplicate facilities on a farm. The trains are handle differently, by the engines being different.

This is what I find in the forum under trains. Says to me you can have one of each train and up to 5 of each freight car but they must be on different farms.

Yes, you may send 1 Standard Freight Locomotive and 1 Advanced Freight Locomotive and 1 Supreme Freight Locomotive and 1 Ultimate Freight Locomotive and 1 Turbo Freight Locomotive, enabling you to send 5 trains at once. You can NOT have 2 of the same locomotives.

You may have 1 Long Boxcar of each type per train, if you purchase another of the same Long Boxcars, it will have to be coupled to the other train. Meaning you can have a total of 5 of each boxcar so long as they are on different trains. Any additional Long Boxcars would serve only as decorations and will not carry any products.
The only correction to this is that the trains do not have to be on different farms.

The Shaved Ice Cart should be a Factory because it produces something, you can always tell if it is a Factory or Service Facility by the following:

1. Factories Produces items.

2. Service Facilities Provides a service or item(s).

They could take the items that is produced in the Shaved Ice Cart and either make a Service Facility or maybe put them into Service Facilities that already exist, but that would be in later releases if done at all.

This is like the Electronics, there are 2 factories and 1 service facility.

Oops! My bad. The brain damage has kicked in again. Sorry about that. He did write a few days for the quests at beginning of this thread. He did state though that the rules for earning farm cash via the quests needed to be worked out. So to my mind that meant it might take up to the release of the next set of levels before we actually start getting any. Even we helpers need to re-read what Raul has said once in a while.... :p

Had a neighbor come to work my farms and she got the message that

"... work is reserved for friends..." After clearing all the data (memcache , history etc), she was able to work.

I though it was just unusual until it happened to me too. However, I had worked another's Client Facilities with no problem, and then went to work his Production Facs/Facilities... and I got the same message .

I cleared everything, but the message still came and blocked me from working.

I did notice in the first instance, that my neighbor - when blocked from working - did not appear as active "green dot" neighbor until after she cleared memory.

Are they farm cash cars? Only the farm cash cars count for that. So you need 2 trains with 10 farm cash cars each.
If that is the case post a link to your farm here. The automatic linking does not work so you will have to create and provide a manual link. Instructions are here for how to create that link:

Hi,

Bonnie Jo is indeed correct, having any duplicate cars on the same train would mess things up, as the second car would only serve as a decoration, leaving you only 9 working cars. You'll have to wait till that train returns, and switch out the long cattle car for another.

8. Earn Farm Cash while completing Quests: Here are the rules:

- Earn 1 FarmCash if you have completed at least 3 quests in the last 7 days
- Earn 2 FarmCash if you have completed at least 8 quests in the last 7 days, this is difficult, only about a 1000 users have done it in the past week, and is more difficult to do continuously

Once you get your FarmCash, you'll have to wait at least 7 days to qualify for more FarmCash rewards.

These rules may change in the future, specially if we do more changes to the Quests functionality.

I have done some figuring and almost the only way to get 8 quests done in 7 days is to make sure that you start each quest as soon as it is unlocked every 20 hours. I calculated that if you start your first quest on Jan 1st at midnight and started a quest every 20 hours you would start your last quest on Jan 6th at 8:00 pm. So that would give you approximately 1 day for you to finish all of your open quest before the 7th day ends. The 8th and final quest that you started on Jan 6th at 8:00 pm is going to be the hardest, it only gives you 1 day 3 hours 59 minutes to complete that quest.

it doesn't say you have to START 8 quests in 7 days, just COMPLETE 8 quests in 7 days.

say you get your sunday quest and don't really do anything on it till monday at which time you have 2 quests. then (assuming you actually can do all the quests you get), you just do 1 quest a day so that 8 are completed in 7 days.

that's how i read it but i suspect i could be wrong.

You have to start a quest to complete it and at the end I mentioned that on the 6th day at 8 pm when you started the last quest you have around 1 day to complete all of the quests started (if you had any open) and the 8th and last quest would be the hardest you only had 1 day 4 hours to complete in order to get the 2 FC. You can't start one every 24 hours cause on the 7th day you would be starting the 7th quest.

Raul said that 1000 people managed it in this past week, so it is possible.

Also, it says you have to complete 8 quests... not start them in that time.... so if you have 5 quests already running, and complete them all in 1 day, that leaves you 3 quests to complete in the remaining 6 days.

Question, it does say 'complete' 8 quests in one week, so does that mean, every other week you could hold back one completion if you have already done 7 until after the cut off time, that way you could complete 8 for the following week if you normally complete one a day.

ok i am just wondering if you can finish more than one at the same. because sometimes you finish more than one in a day.

I notice at the bottom of my quest page it now shows how many has been completed in the past 7 days, see picture below:

Now if they would show how many more days til the 7 days is over would be great (this has been put in the suggestions section).

It doesn't always appear on mine either, I just finished a quest and it didn't appear.

I saw this when working my farm. I clicked 'wait' and came in here to read about it.

I decided there's no way I'm going to do 8 in 7 days and went back to collect the 3 day bonus.

It's gone...

Is it only there when there's quests to start? Or should I make a fuss?

problem solved - when I had a quest expire it came back

If you are talking about like it shows in my picture, it doesn't show all the time I had it show a couple of times then it hasn't been showing.

I do Every single quest, Every single day. I have not missed one in months and did not get farm cash for the last two quests even though it said I was supposed to. Why????

Eradani
Mar 25 2014, 03:43 PM
if u start a new quest every day or 20 hours how can u possibly do 8 quests in 7 days??
so no one will ever get the 2 FC this seems very unfair. I would do 2 and 3 quests a day if I could so you might want to consider letting us do more then one every day please.

if you start a new quest every 20 hrs, you can actually start 9 quests in 7 days

If you are talking about like it shows in my picture, it doesn't show all the time I had it show a couple of times then it hasn't been showing.

I got the new quest screen when I opened my quest this morning. I just cashed in my quest for today. When I checked my quest from this morning I received the 12,000,000 coins for the 6 step quest, but got no button to collect my 1 Farmcash.

It sounded like some people were already already collecting FC from the earlier posts here.

So...
Are people already getting paid Farmcash based on having met the requirements in the past 6 days plus today's quest?
If so, I should have qualified for 1 Farmcash today. I have completed my quest every day for the last 18 days, receiving the full bonus on all quests.

Is anyone else having trouble working other people's farms? Every farm I go to, the mayor says he is going to work "##" farms, then comes back and shows 0 products were sent to my storage. It happens with people who just posted, as well as those that posted several hours ago.

I don't have the notice at the bottom of my quests, I've checked 3 or 4 times today and it's not there. I completed two quests today and I'm about the complete #3 but still nothing appears about how many quests or collecting bonuses. Am I the only one?

with the mayor now working all farms for farmers who have 2 trains dispatched, you have to be fast now or the facilities may be empty.. and it all depends on how much that is actually loaded in these facilities, on how much you collect..:)

yesterday i thought i was victim of a bug because people were getting FC and i didn't even get a message and i KNEW i'd completed more than 3 quests in the past 7 days BUT today i completed a quest and was told i'd completed 8 in the last 7 days and would i like 2 FC? yes plz and thx

this new non-optional level up FB post is just aggravating and if you want some advertising posts to get people interested - give me the option to post that i earned FC doing quests !!

Just a question here. I went to buy some flowers from the store and the ones that you can send as gifts are no longer available to buy from the store. for eg red roses, pink roses, zinnia, white lillies etc. So are they like this on purpose or is it a glitch as this has happened once before in another update. but if i had one of the flowers in storage i can put it down on the farm and then buy multiple. but this is no good for me as some of the flowers i do not have on any of my farms and i am trying to do a quest farm. So jsut letting the devs know and wandering if this has happened on purpose.

You are right they are changing some of the flowers to gift only, like you said red roses, lilies, and forget me not's. It is really bad on Red Roses you need to fill all facilities 5,040 Red Roses. A picture of some is below:

Have you used the farm manager in the extended toolbox? click the copy link button, click on a farm, which copies it to your clipboard, then paste it in a post here

If not, you can send me a private message with your facebook profile link if you prefer, i can get the link from that

Hi max_river, and everyone else that is having the issue when working other facilities and the mayor giving no products.

Raul need a couple of things,

Is it both service facilities and regular facilities? or just one of them?

Do you do half the work and the mayor takes over? or do you have both rains and the mayor does ALL the work?

Can you try to take a screen shot of exactly what the mayor is saying when he is working them please? i know thats not easy, but if you can try for me.

to take a screenshot, press Alt & Prt Scrn, then paste into any paint program. and save as .jpg

Since this was only release late on the 24th and some are getting FC, then be patient a couple days and see if you get some. I haven't gotten any yet either.

Known Issues:

- You can't buy giftable flowers on the Store
- Some users are not seeing the possibility to Collect FarmCash from Quests
- When trying to Collect Coins in quests some users may be seeing the ''Sorry Can't redeem prize now, try again later' message, please report if thats your case[/QUOTE]

I know you ARE looking at this problem but Im one of those that is not seeing the "Collect Farmcash" option at the bottom of Quests. There is a white bar with "Collect Coins" on the left - nothing at all on the right and it doesnt tell me how many quests Ive done in the last 7 days either. I can tell you that - at least 7.

Apart from a period with no internet Ive started a quest every day and finished one most days.

Question about facilities and clients: I havent got the trains yet, and i know the mayor is meant to do half of the facilities and clients for you on each farm. But that isnt happening with me, what mine does is, it does like 10 farms, then says that i done enough and for the mayor to take over and do the rest of the farms for me. But he's not and i have to do the rest one by one. There has gotta be a glitch somewhere or i am not getting it. Please help!!!

I noticed the message to collect Farm Cash on my quests, but thought since I had 2 more that would be ready today, that would make 8 for the seven days, so I would just wait to collect until I finished those two. When I came back to do the next step for one of the quests the "Collect Farm Cash: option was no longer there. What is up with that?

You were right TAZ! I was worried because I didn't get the FC this morning. I have been working hard at the quests. Well I started my new quest this morning and just now got 1FC! So like TAZ said...be patient. :D

Though I haven't seen it yet, I would hazard a guess that you want to collect it as soon as it shows, because that means it has already looked at your 7 days and any more you get would go toward the next 7 days.
Edit: I just checked and got my first FC too.
Raul has just added this:
Post Release Updates - March 26th, 2:30PM EST

- You can buy again giftable flowers on the Store
- All users that haven't collected the FarmCash for completing quests should at least see now the 'Quests completed in the last 7 days' message along with the 'Collect FarmCash' button in black (or in blue if the collection is already available)

I just tried to work a neighbor's facilities and got a message that said, "Sorry, this job invitation is reserved for my friends only." Is this a glitch or do we have a new tool to restrict jobs? I checked and this person is still listed as a friend.

P.S. Just tried another neighbor and got the same error message.

Post Release Updates - March 24th, 10:10PM EST

- I forgot to mention about a fix in my previous post. When you landed on a farm to work friends facilities sometime you were unable to work because the game incorrectly said you have to be friend with the owner of the farm (you really were friends), this error may still not be fixed 100% but it should be very rare now.


I just got this error message. And is there a way to "fix" this?
