I use google chrome for my browser and it works very good. I had trouble playing the zynga games on my laptop (vista) before I installed it.

All is great but holy cow it it ever slow now and when you go to post factories...it won't post for me. After you get a factory going it takes forever to cycle the XP points. VERY SLOW going. But all in all I really do like the new release.

In the big scheme of things, breakfast and morning showers came a poor second and third to harvesting our grapes

I started before you could hire to plow. I bout went blind harvesting rasberrys and grapes. You couldnt even see what you harvested for those horrible white lines. It has come a long way. Everything is so much easier now.

I HAVE TO Agree, this has to be the best game in the world and the only game I will spend real money on, I absolutely love it, I can pretty much play it all day, and not get bored, there's always something to do, but I still need more farms lol not greedy haha, cant keep my facilities full for my neighbours when I cant plant enough to keep em full.

no really fantastic game just keep getting better and better love it

Love the upgrades though!!!

The complaint about cukes taking 4 days is kinna funny. Plant a LOT of cukes one time, wait the 4 days, harvest, process, and stockpile for use. I do this with a number of crops that I need for "garnish" of other products. Plant once....use for a long time. They don't go bad in storage

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I am so pleased that this has been done and I look forward to more new levels. You have done an amazing job these last few months and I know that more users like I are so happy, because, you know what, we are able to continue playing without getting too discouraged. Good Job! Can hardly wait for the new levels. Your recognition of players that have been dedicated to this game is very much appreciated.

So I wonder how many people will be hiring now as for example if you are growing crops for the facilities it makes no difference if they are a 'large' crop or not....so I wonder if you did the number crunching if you would be better off harvesting the crop yourself Anyway hope this is helpful.

The exact opposite show when I am harvesting. The crops that are going into my storage as the employee clear and show the harvested plot as soon as I click on them.

Hmm strange.

There are still a number of crops that can not be used in any of the facilities. For people that plant those crops it is still more profitable to hire help. Besides if we all stop hiring others to help we will lose a very important part of the game, networking and learning from other farmers. As those seeking work it is now more beneficial for us to go work for others because we get a small portion of the crops as well as coins.

Just my thoughts

Not all people run on a normal schedule. If you know that you are not going to be able to harvest in the allotted amount of time wait to plant your grapes until you know that you can get back to them in time. Many people I am sure, rely on the grapes only taking 4 hours to grow. This allows the players that run on weird schedules to be extremely productive during the day. It would be unfair to all of those users to change the grow time. If there is no way to make it back in time for the purple grapes plant the green ones.

Grow times should range over a wide set of time frames to allow all farmers the chance to be productive when their schedule allows it.

Just a thought!
