I had a blast this morning in the marketplace. I had some extra time so I decided to take some jobs and it was a lot of fun seeing what everyone planted. I'm not in dire need of points so harvesting potatoes and or watermelon was just out right fun. I felt kind of bad watching people beg to plow on one farm after they harvested. And then felt a little bad that I had to leave and get some stuff done and I wasn't sure if I was going to finishing plowing one of the farms I was hired at. I'm not the speediest plower but I try.
Anyhow, it was just a joy to get around and look at other people's farms while working on them and not be overly concerned about their hiring practices, planting practices etc. |

I'm beginning to think I am going to have to start babysitting my employees. When I hire them and leave and then back later only part of the field is harvested or plowed, trees aren't touched or just harvested here and there. If I stay the field is completely cleared or plowed and trees done.
I at first thought that maybe due to glitches, people were kicked off the farm but since this is everytime I have hired people (I usually hire 2) in the last week or so I am wondering. None of the housekeeping tricks, clearing cache, refreshing etc... changes anything so that seems to leave the employees not doing what they are hired to do. I know it's only a game but if you are hired kindly finish what you start.

I know in the past I haven't finished what I started because my real life has gotten in the way. Children needing stuff, elderly parents needing stuff people stopping over and phone calls all take precedence over a computer game. Or sometimes I think I can finish before going to work or an appointment and I can't and I don't always have time to give the farmer an explanation on where I'm going or what is going on in my life.

"sorry, rl" is more than enough and takes only 5 seconds at most to type.

Hi everyone. I am fairly new to FT and have learned a lot about hiring and working on others farms just by reading this thread. However, I have one question. When I hire someone to harvest my farm, how do I get them to plow it when they are through? I know I can ask them, but how do I enable that for them? I hired someone to harvest my field and I asked them if they wanted to plow. They said "yes" then they stood there. Were they waiting for me to do something?
Advise is greatly appreciated! Signed, A Newbie |

Since the second farm was added I have had between 1800-1900 fields planted and usually hire from the MP multiple times a day to harvest and plow them. People come and go all the time. Connection problems, real life problems. I've rarely had anyone leave a note that they had issues but it's happened. I wouldn't think any less of you if you didn't. I'd just go grab another person to finish the job.

I don't often work for others but I would never notice if you are there are not. Most unfinished work is, I'm guessing, related to connection issues. I see no difference between being there and not being there. Stuff happens. Now, trees are the exception. If you want trees harvested you have to specifically ask for someone to do them. Most experienced workers will have their trees turned off and won't even see them. Plus, most would never do them unless asked. People are finicky about their trees and a lot of people don't want them done. That's handy because they are really not worth much for the harvester or the farmer. Also, people may not see your instructions to harvest trees. A lot of people like to work in full screen mode and once in full screen all communication ceases.
