I can see how someone below level 10 would need this reminder, but NO ONE above this level should really need it, and it's already become a major headache.
This would have been much better implemented had it been a warning to those below level 20 that they can/SHOULD hide trees, decorations, etc., to decrease load times, especially when working at someone else's farm(s).
However, at least the current warning is useful for a scant few players; the addition to the Daily Lottery dialog of the prompt reminding players to take screenshots of their farms DOES NOT. This is one of those annoying things "the other games" do which drive people up the wall, and eventually makes players leave. Can this, too, PLEASE, be fixed?

i don't understand how it is that big of a deal. It takes a fraction of a second to click it off.....its nice to have a reminder sometimes. I have few decorations out on my farm these days and its nice to remember where they are if they are hidden or not.....

After the crapcrops got introduced i have a huge storage problem. We need more room to store our double crops or i will run into some serious problems soon. Yesterday i had to sell all my peanut butter, strawberry jam, hot dog bread and olive oil (i soooo wish i could sell parts of my inventory and not all or nothing) to be able to harvest my crops and get the stuff i produced out of my factories to take to the market to sell.

Also, after the big bulldozer fix my seeder and harvester jumps across fields and starts planting/harvesting on the neighbor field, specially annoying with the seeder when i have plans to plant something else on that field, i have to delete and plow over again because of the seeder. Big time annoying! Cant believe noone else wrote anything about this, but it would be great if we could get the old behaviour back on the seeder/harvester

Crapcrops????? Doublecrops?????

It sounds like you need to clean out your productions more often. I start production and empty stored items, especially those needed in other facilities, 3-4 times a day. I have never HAD to sell anything I needed.

For the seeder, check if your "leave space between fields" has turned back on; that is what happened to me.

I empty my facilities once or twice a day. Shouldnt really be needed to go through all your facilities and hurry to go sell whatever you produced 3-4 times a day to avoid your storage getting filled up, thats my point.
I had to sell my peanut butter etc because i had 50k peanut butter, 20k olive oil etc, i didnt have room to keep that amount of stuff so i had to sell ALL of it and start producing new materials for my sandwich restaurant etc, so i wish for either bigger storage or the option to sell parts of my products.

And my space between fields option is fine, its just that the seeder jumps to a different field and starts planting there if i am trying to plant on 2 squares on the edge of a field.

The storage limit is not so much the amount of stuff you have in storage but the number of windows you have in storage. You can have 3 windows for the same type of item in storage. Pineapple is an example of this. You can have gift pineapple, pineapple (this is self harvested pineapple), and large pineapple (this is hired harvested pineapple). Now each of those windows takes up memory space in the storage area. So when you get the message that your storage is getting full if you go and load up the facilities and sell all non ingredients you should be fine on room even if one item has 130,000 units of one thing in storage. When you fill up your facilities it will use ingredients in this order gift, self harvested or what you made (ie chocolate liquor), then large. Because of this if you load up a facility chances are you will at least empty the gift window and probably the self harvested window, leaving only the large window. Also selling all non ingredients frees up tons of room in your storage even if you only had 600 units of that item in storage the window is gone so that gives you more room. One more option for you to do is with your ingredients like olive oil when you make some do not store it you can leave it in the facility forever if you like, this way you can build up lets say 6 or 7 thousand units then go to the mp and sell the 40,000 you have in storage that is going to take you ages to use. Now go back to your farm and store what is in the facility that way you have some olive oil to do stuff with and not have to wait for more to make.
