New Release -- February 13th, 2012

[Inge Jones]

What happened to the idea of the animals getting out and eating our crops, and foxes breaking in? And having to feed the animals? New gameplay not just more of the same.

Oh, while I am posting, where can I find the plantain trees? I can't see them in either gifts or store.

They have been released now - at sort your tree store into alphabetic order easier that way to find things. Exactly like banana trees except grow green fruit not yellow.

(2) You introduce quests and then do something to make it easer to do...please...make a CHALLENGE not something dumbed down so much it's meaningless. (3) Changing the ingredients required for a product is unappreciated. I now have to rip up an existing fully functional farm and replant a different tree and reset the farm.....FOR WHAT? This was just stupid...plain and simple.

The only reasonable thing in the release was the increase in capacity at the mines. But then again, this should have come hand in hand with an increase in metal production ability.

This release gets my "Shouldn't have bothered" rating.

Oh dear - WHY do you have to tear up a farm to plant new Plantain trees? I think it makes sense to make plaintain chips from Plantains - you still need bananas for other things.

IMHO the lifeline does not make the quests less of a challenge it just makes them possible for the occasion when folks do not have that particular facility and there is no guarantee which lifeline you get.

2. What should happen and would be a better system is that you first fill all your facilities up first then when you close down the facilities manager there should be another Icon that shows you a list of what belts you reached in the last refill. From that list you should be able to tick off the 5 you want to post .
when posted then others should just disappear till the next belt is earned.

I hate that I have to choose 5 belts and not knowing what is coming due.

I for one only want to post belts that I need product of.. cheese, Rubber Yellowtail etc. not fuel that I have tons of or corn flour, ink etc that I cannot even give all.

Brilliant idea - I wish we could have more than 5 posts for bonuses

Thanks Maggie, I should have thought of sorting

I am disappointed that the social lifeline does not help us with honey, beeswax, shrimp, cod, etc. The honey farm and fish farming plant should be workable, or at least be able to have bonuses you collect from others posting count towards quests. What is the point in the trade thing if you can't trade anything from facilities and it cannot be used for the first step in a quest?

cause we have a Latin/American Restaurant coming i imagine that we will be using the Saffron, chickpeas, black beans and plantains in a lot of dishes......Plantain (plátano in Spanish) is a favorite fruit of my family.....

actually i did manage to get honey for a product ,don't know about the rest your asking.........

Can someone please fill me in where else bananas are used before I sell them all? I think the change from bananas to plantains for snacks is very unfair to those that might not have the other facilities that use bananas.

just fitting the new one in will be the job for many
