Please read this, it MAY help you. This is an excerpt from a post of mine in another thread.

(the coins and XP are racking up one at a time while I'm there and the wait is rarely very long in either place)
THEN AND ONLY THEN do I click "Play" and go back to my farm.

ALL my XP are awarded when I get "home" and at least SOME of the coins I earned for plowing. Once again, after noting these things, I checked them out and they DO work for me almost every time.

With the server caching problems being SO BAD, we have to get a bit inventive and think outside the box until they can get it straight. BELIEVE ME.....it's NOT EASY doing what they are doing.

I don't guarantee ANYTHING. I'm just telling you all what has begun working for me after observing the game's behavior after the latest "maintenance" build. (Lost a lot of coins and XP doing it, but, until I figured out what worked for me, I was already doing that..... )

Hope this helps at least a few of you. Try it....it MAY work. What have you got to lose? More coins and XP? You may be doing that already....... Or may not be.

And this is a post that also points out what may be happening to you. Take it all under consideration, OBSERVE, then take what steps you think would work for you.

I believe many if not most of the farmers who insist their coins/XPs are missing are only encountering some minor glitches which I've noticed.

1) For example, let's say I hide trees to plow a 100 square field. I click all 100 squares, but my avatar has only recovered the first 20 squares (registering 20 points) when I "unhide" trees. As soon as I unhide trees (flowers, buildings,) all 100 points will register. BUT I decide to stay until the other 80 squares are recovered. The counter will at that point double count and add another 80 on to my total = 180 (or 80 more than I have actually plowed). As soon as I leave and go home or to the market, the counter will deduct the extra 80, making it appear as if it is deducting points, when in fact it is only correctly recalculating.

2) at times when I do not appear to have received coins for harvesting, the coins always show up the next time I log in to Farm Town. They also sometimes show up at my next job harvesting or plowing.

3) there is a timing issue when I harvest with others in that often I still see the crops on my screen that the other harvester(s) has already gotten. If I am not careful, I will harvest these "phantom" crops only to discover that Im not getting coin for them (since the other harvester got them already). When I harvest with others, I watch my coins each time I click on a field. If the coins don't increase, then I know I've encountered a "phantom" field.

4) there is also a timing issue with plowing in that my screen shows unplowed fields that in fact have been plowed by the other person(s) working with me. When I click on these "phantom" fields, a plowed square immediately appears (instead of the whitened square with "0%") and I don't receive XPs. So I watch out for these squares and dont get tricked into thinking I've plowed them. Sometimes I will ask the farmer to rehire me for plowing (or harvesting per #3) and that gives me an updated screen, taking care of the problem.

Sorry this is so long but I suspect recalculating/reloading issues and phantom crops/plowed squares are responsible for most of the "missing coin/XP" complaints.
