Think about it just for a few seconds...

How many farms do you see with Ice Cream....Pizza....Sandwich Shops...taco resturant?

I had to check to see if they've changed the name of the game to FactoryTown or ResturantTown. I thought this was a FARMING game.

My god...how many farms come with an oil refinery?

The developers are lost big time. They stopped developing their game and started trying to out do FarmVille. Foolish thinking IMHO.

Why are people begging for a 4th farm? Because all of these stupid facilities have taken up so much FARMING area. Stop for a minute...doesn't it strike you as absurd that the direct result of these releases is to REDUCE farming? Huh? Say what? er...um...can we get back to a FARMING game please?

I guess you didn't see that the game is called Farm TOWN. They didn't need to change the name of the game. It has always been FarmTOWN. I live in a farming community and we have TOWNS that include businesses other than farms. We have bakeries and factories and restaurants, etc. Hello? Do you think that farmers in this century live completely off of the land like Little House on the Prairie? Even then they had a saw mill and a grocery store, etc. If you choose just to farm, so be it. But please understand that a TOWN consists of more than just farming. It's a community of many different things.

All the new facilities are great but what about a fish & chips shop?

I like the idea of different farms for different things. My 1st farm is set up as a village, no crops at all, the 2nd is for animals and some crops, #3 is where all my factories are along with an airport and some more crops. Adding another farm would be useful but I would like to see more levels available first. I've been at level 80 for a month now and am all out of farm$.

considero que al llegar al limite de 80 se deberia poder comprar con monedas, ya que hay cosas que no se puede acceder sin pesos, y resulta aburrido el juego.

@ Double T Dude ranch: thank you for the answer, that's cleared my mind.

For me, the facilities have increased farming as I have planted crops to use in the facilities. I wasn't crazy about placing the facilities on my main farm with my house and all, but I think it looks ok, and my 2 other farms are totally crops. However, what the facilities have ended up doing for me is to make the game seem to end, probably since I am level 80. I now have over 60million coins, and am endlessly planting and loading facilities(a very time consuming task) for my neighbors. After all, I don't need anymore coins, which seems pretty evident and there is nothing whatsoever to work toward anymore, no more land, no more items, nothing. It has caused me to make lots of coins ever so quickly. Also, probably because of the facilities, it has become harder to find people to harvest my crops and trees, so I end up doing my trees myself alot of the time. I even had trouble finding someone willing to plow one day. Haven't figured that one out. At any rate, most of the people who are actually at teh market to work, are saying plow only most of the time. Now, if FarmTown would make it so that people could choose to get a cut of the crops they harvest instead of coins, perhaps people would be more inclined to want to harvest. Or perhaps they could come out with a 9 harvester and plower and I'll simply do it myself, which is what I do do occasionally anyway, especially with low pay crops. I wish they would come up with a goal or something for us high level players. I have really enjoyed this game in the past, but feel it may have come to an end. Perhaps that is what it is suppose to do. I don't know. Of course, I suppose I could delete my plots and just decorate I suppose if only I was creative. I think I was only meant to be a basic farmer though.

Oh now I get it. I should have read what you put in the forum earlier to understand the flower shop. Thank you Raul

Thank you so much for the constant updates to the game. It definitely keeps the game interesting. Especially love the fact that we can refine oil and make our own fuel. YESSSS!!

MJR, I use FF on my PC but I've learned that Safari works better on my Mac. Not sure why but it does.
