Fertilizer
How about making the fertilizing per plot not per farm. Sometimes you don't have enough fertilizer and would like to only fertilize certain areas instead of all of them
|
Get your neighbors to send you pigs.....
purchase another pig sty..... I have more manure than I can possibly ever use.... |

2 Pig stys and 40 pigs. I can't use it all, collecting 2 times a day.
|
i have 1 sty fiiled to cap. I have over 3000 piles of poop being stored. There is no reason why 1 sty, filled up and collected 2x a day, isn't enough..I collect 200 piles a day, enough to do 4 farms...if need be stagger the fertilzing and don'y fertilize at 3 days if the crops are still fertilized... a 4 day crop will still be fertilized on teh 4th day as long as you fertilized it before it was mature.....if it was per plot than people would ***** and moan about it taking up to much time like they do the facilities....
|
was going to ask whether we needed to fertilise even though the crops were fertilised prior to maturity, but this has answered my question. thank you :-)
|
I have enough pigs manure, more than I can spread them. The trick is to get more pigs. I can't remember how many pigs do an entire farm, but all I've got was a little over 100 pigs and I've put most of them in the stys, except for a few that walk about the places; and that is plenty manure for me already!! Once a farm is fertilized, the whole farm stays fertilized for at least 72 hours, and within these 72 hours you can collect 6 times manure from the stys and that's plenty already. I've only have 4 farms with fields and am never short of crops except in some instances when I would forget to plant rice for the fish.
You only need 50 manure to fertilize a farm for 72 hours.....I think; and even after the 72 hours has elapsed, those crops that you have fertized will STAY BEING FERTILIZED until you harvest them. I have more manure than I can use. Too bad we can't sell them. LOL!! Sandie Angel :) |
Fertilizing
As a newbie, I need to understand how to fertilize more than one farm.... do I need stys on both farms and then how do I use the manure spreader on a second farm?:confused:

7 farms, 95 piggies and I have never run out of manure. I have so much pig poop that I do not even collect it everyday now.
|
76 pigs is more than enough for 7 farms :)
|
I now have the orange manure spreader and plenty of manure. When I fertilize a farm with pine trees on it, all my crops and all my harvestable trees fertilize; however, some pines fertilize while others don't. Though maybe mature ones don't fertilize, but that isn't the answer. Any explanation? Not a gripe of problem, but I am curious.
BTW, I love the look of the fertilized trees on my winter farms. Gives them a frosty look. |
Sue just like the crops, if the tree is fully grown it will not fertilize.

I think what this means is that you (or I!) have to fertilize before the chopped trees reappear.

I am adding a few more pigs now to have more fertilizer available since a small number was adequate when only crops were fertilized. No problem since we can exchange gifts. |
You still only need to fertilize every three days. I have 75 pigs which keep all my farms fertilized with some to spare.

Thanks for your comment. I think I will add more pigs -- maybe build up to 60 or so. Too bad all that virtual cow, goat, sheep and chicken manure goes to waste LOL |

I just did a quick test on a farm to see if the game does indeed give double the harvest. I harvested 50 fields of wheat and the stone mill only saw 50 units. When does the game calculate the double harvest? I'm concerned because when I harvest the blue save button goes off every other field. Am I not giving the buffer time to save? I ask this question now after 8+months of fertilizing. AAUUGGHH!
|
Okay, did another test allowing the blue save to finish each time. This time harvested 160 fields, again stone windmill only saw the 160. Am I missing something here?
|
Quote:
|
Okay, that makes sense. Probably I knew that at one point! Thanks!
|
Rob, can you answer why the blue save goes off and on when harvesting, plowing etc? Do I need to pause and let the save finish? Thanks again.

How to Fertilize all Farms
Can you tell me how I can Fertilize all 7 of my Farms. It's only letting me do 3.
|
enough to do 4 farms
Can you tell me how I can Fertilize all 7 of my Farms. It's only letting me do 3. |
How much fertilizer do you have?
What message are you getting when you try to fertilized the other farms? |
How much fertilizer do you have?
That I don't know. What message are you getting when you try to fertilized the other farms? I get no messages. I have 7 Farms and it only let me do 3. when I move it to another Farm that isn't fertilized, it gets stuck and does nothing. I have to go back to where I left it originaly and put it in storage. |
Quote:
And the crops are still growing? Not ready to harvest? Cuz then fertilizing won't help anyway if it's full grown. |
Orange Spreader Does Not Work In Some Farms
I have done the fertiilizing in my farms with the orange spreader, but seems like some of the trees would not take it. Still appearing non-fertized.
In my farm 1 my cocnut trees and the mangoes trees are stll not fertilized. My entire farm 4 is not fertiilized. My entire farm 6 is not fertizlied. I suppose the olive trees are fruit trees as well. In my farm 2 only the lemon trees are fertilized, the mangoes and the walnut trees are not. Please kindly look into this and let me know what's going on. I have both the red and the orange spreader. Sandie Angel :confused: |
Quote:
Hey Sandie Angel are the trees you are trying to fertilize ready to harvest? the fertilizer works on trees the same as on crops so if they are ready to harvest then you are unable to fertilize them :) |
Quote:
This is a mystery. I hope it will be resolved very soon. Thanks so much for your prompt response. I thought I had posted this in the wrong place, so have posted same message in the "Help Forum" as well. I hope I can get a reply from there too. Thanks so much!! Sandie Angel :) |

The number of hours left on the fertilizer on farms keeps changing in big numbers - like from 1 hour to 33 hours a bit later. Then to something else again. Also, I checked that my farms are fertilized when finished planting, and today one sugar field was not when I came to harvest it. With a long growing crop , 3 to 4 days and the field is fertilized when planted but not to the full extent of time I have found the crop is fertilized but the trees aren't when that less time expires. Something needs to be done to rectify this difference in what is fertilized on the same farm. This is getting to be a real problem for me to know when to do it and then the number of hours remaining keeps changing. arghhhh Thank you
