New Release -- March 13th, 2015

[Farmer_Susan]

As always, I'm delighted to see a new release and love this game. Since some of this release pertains to hiring issues, I want to throw in my 2 cents for some possible fixes and/or other improvements:

1. There seems to be a "ghost" issue now. The other day I went to the Market to hire and ended up with 6 ghosts on my farm. None of them were the person I hired.
2. One of my issues with hiring is that I prefer to hire solo. If I send a hire and the person doesn't respond, after awhile, I assume they're not going to so I hire someone else. Sometimes both will end up on my farm. I had hoped the fixes in this release would help that but it hasn't seemed to. I don't have a solution in mind for this one but it's an issue.
3. Another thing I would LOVE is to be able to know if a worker is still on my farm, and if so, which one. The new info text things tell us that so and so arrive on our farm (which one? I often hire for 20 farms at a time and people sometimes skip around when they work so the current messages don't give me a lot of info). Also, if I stepped out of the room for a minute and missed the scrolling text, it's gone - the message has disappeared. I think it would help to have some kind of permanent indicator of where a worker is - maybe a little dot on the farm triangle thing (or maybe change the block color of any farm that has a worker on it). That way, if I need to find my worker to hire them for another farm, see if they're still planning to continue (maybe they're taking a break and I can message them - or maybe they got booted off), I can get a quick visual of where they are or if they've gone.
4. There was one more issue but it could have been user-related. I hired someone to do all my farms and they did everything EXCEPT chop. That seemed odd to me so at first I thought it might have been a bug, however, I haven't noticed it except that one time so maybe I forgot to tick the "Chop" button when I hired or maybe the person I hired just really, really didn't want to chop.

Hope those ideas are helpful.

Hi Susan,
Please add your suggestions in the Suggestion section instead of in the release as that is where the developers will see all the suggestions in one location. There is a thread there about hiring that you can reply to with those. Thanks
