Belt System Updates -- June 2nd, 2011

[Oopsy-Bumpty]

Thank you ridgie

NOW assuming the pop up issue is going to drop off quite soon, it still leaves me with a couple of questions that so far have been ignored. How do we know if we got lucky and have received a bonus? I have harvested quite a lot over the past few days and have had no indication as to whether or not I got the bonus. Do we in fact get a notification?, in which case I have been rather unlucky so far. Also what is the bonus quantity based on?, is it random or a fixed percentage of our harvest.

This is something I would like the devs to provide us with some details on. I am not one who gets upset if I don't receive anything, I am grateful for whatever, whenever, it's ALL good fun to me, BUT it would be nice to know when I HAVE been rewarded and to know just how much I received.

Now devs, tell me please, when did you say were getting another 15 farms??

They should appear in your gift box when you open your farm. The thing to remember is that if you have helped others and gotten goods from that then that is part of your 1,000,000 total.
What I do in the morning is to harvest my crops from over night and see if I get one I really want. If I do then I wait for a bit before helping others, so I can get some. Then I go help others after I have gotten mine. That way when I help they get theirs but I get the limit message for my part. I win...they win.

No Taz I am referring to the none request bonus that is based on the whatever % chance of a bonus. Or simply put ...the chance bonus

So far with my harvest, no little notifications or floating pictures like when we harvest a neighbors farm. Maybe that is in the works.

It would be nice to know because, will it allow me to stop planting more flowers? Is it a better chance on the flowers to gain the bonus, which is a 4 day crop versus planting a 12 hour crop, like sugar or is it based on harvesting every 12 hours? *gasps another 12 hour thing*

I'll take 3 more farms please.

I know, I know.... never has a new release left so many unanswered questions, or caused so much chaos, which I have to add is making me giggle more everyday, yes I have a very warped humour.

Just 3 farms? wow you are easy to please

Now I don't know if other things in my gift box reached my storage. Don't know if belt bonuses are getting to my storage. Would have to clic k one and check.

Hope devcs will look into thisl. Why post if they are not going 5to get to you (storage).

Love the game but no point of doing posting if not working.

Did you ask for stuff to make sheep wool textile rolls or did you ask for ingredients to make something that uses sheep wool textile rolls? If you asked for ingredients to make the rolls what you got was sheep wool not the rolls, if you asked for ingredients for something that uses the rolls not sure what happened.

From what I can tell you will get the percent you are at when you harvest a farm. What that means is if you are at the 52% mark and you harvest 1000 fields you will get 1520 boxes added to your storage or 2520 boxes added to your storage if you have them fertilized. This is the same for all crops, trees, and flowers.

Well if that is the case, it makes perfect sense. How did you manage to find that info? or have you been making notes of every harvest?

Just watching what is going in my storage. Until I get to a final dan belt it is hard to do the exact math on it since you may reach one or 5 belts in a harvest of one normal 1024 field farm but I know there is way more in my storage then what would be there without the extra "chance". Also it is like the 20% you get for working for other you can do the math on it but there is no need you know that you get the 20% and it is added to your storage. Those 20% are easy to spot if you always hire for your harvest or you harvest a crop that you never plant because it is not used in a facility. I think it is the word chance that is causing the confusion and also how other games do their chance stuff. I know there are games out there that say the chance of something happening is this but they are lying to us. FT developers are not like that if it says you have a 52% chance then that is what it will be. It could also be like the fish in water is. If you take note of the amount of fish a lake with boat it has 199 fish in it now divide that number by the number of types of fish in the water you will get about how many of each fish you will get each time you fish that water. So 199/7=28.43 so you get 28 of each type of fish. That said one day you may get 32 salmon the next 28 salmon, the next 25 salmon, so while you should get 28 each time it will very but is around that 28 mark. Now like I said before 1000 fields will get you 1520 boxes but when you do the math one day it might be 520 extra boxes the next it could be 510 the next it could be 530 but it will be very close to the 52% you should get. I think once that really sinks in to some people they will stop hating the belts and love them. I know I do because there are some crops that I use so much of it is hard to keep them in stock even with the spreading pig s*** on my farm.

hehe, sorry jas I am giggling because there is no way I can keep up with your wonderful mathematical brain. But yep I am getting to understand it all a bit more everyday.

At first I wasn't that fussed about the belts, but I have come to realise what a great asset they are going to be for all of us....if only people would take the time to see it too
