Great release - BUT...
This was a great release, the "store all" is fantastic, it relieves us of some of the tedium of playing the game.
However, I do have one small problem with this release. The size and scale of the new facilities doesn't fit in with some of the older facilities. I've been playing for several years now and I remember complaining about how much space the refinery took, but I think at this point we are going a little too far in the other direction. Now that we have multiple farms, we can stand to have some slightly bigger buildings. A Hospital the same size as a bakery, (or a bakery the size of a hospital) doesn't look right.
I can solve the problem by grouping like sized buildings on the same farm but I shouldn't have to do that. I was going to put a helipad next to the hospital, but it looks all wrong when compared to the "toy" helicopter on top of the hospital.
Perhaps some larger alternative views can be developed for things like hospitals, schools, airports, train stations, etc...
Remember the core of the farm town gamers have always been involved with decorating their farms, not being slaves to facilities. The facilities are only a means to gather enough cash to buy the things we want for decoration.
Anyone else agree that there should be a better scaling of facilities....
