I liked the idea of the belt thing when it was first mentioned, and I think it has potential, but its current implementation is not ideal. There will be a lot of these posts and I really liked that FT was the game that cluttered my feed up the least. That's not the case anymore. What if instead of having a box pop up to post every time you reach a new belt for each new crop (and that's a lot if you harvest all your stuff at one time), you increment the belts as you do now but the farmer has to manually click their belt to post their current rank w/ the option to get the bonus. I really like the feature to request ingredients in part because it's a manual thing that the farmer actively has to do. Does that make sense? Also, what happens when someone has reached the final rank for a given crop? Can they no longer post a bonus?
Also....it seems to me that it didn't take much to rank up. I made it to brown by harvesting half a farm's worth of corn. I assume black is the last level? I was hoping that these ranks were a way to give us a challenge...something to work towards...but the way this is set right now, I'll hit black belt on all the crops I regularly harvest in no time. Again, I like the idea of the belts, but I think there needs to be some tweaking.
