SunnyD, I like your sense of humor! Keep it up for those of us who do appreciate it! lol

Anyway, I just want to add my thanks to the dev's for all their hard work so they could bring us such a great game and all the updates! You are the best!!!

[SunnyD]

I like the pet shop too and it just so happens that the new buildings included a pet shop, hardware shop and a blacksmith shop! Think theres any hope for these to turn into new facilities? heres hoping

honestly, i didn't even look at the new buildings. i tend to check the facilities and tools section of the store more than anything else

[Farmer Jennifer Dawn]

im still wondering tho...i have two holiday pigs on my farm. both roam.....why can't i use them in my stable or get maneur from them? a pig is a pig......dressed with a santa hat or completely nekkid.....

The only time I had looked at the buildings until recently was when I first started playing the game. Until they gave us the ability to fertilize our crops I tried to save every inch of space that was not taken up by factories for crops, trees, or flowers. Now that we can fertilize I have freed up some space for decorations and buildings to complement some of the themes of my farms.

If I could have a choice, I think the following would work for me:

1] Expand farm #1 to 30x30..... restricted to levels 50 and up

2] Expand farm #2 to 30x30..... restricted to levels 75 and up

3] Expand farm #3 to 30x30..... restricted to levels 90 and up

4] Expand farm #4 to 30x30..... restricted to levels 115 and up

5] Expand farm #5 to 30x30..... restricted to levels 130 and up

etc

gives everyone something to work for, now and down the road.

Each farm would then expand 3 time (to 26, to 28, to 30) at a cost of maybe 5 million for Farm #1, then 10 million for #2 etc.


Afterall, gotta have something to work for.

From the Game Guide:

For reasons of server load and compatibility with less powerful computers, The farm is the biggest size 24x24, and will never extended beyond that. As mentioned, this is for technical reasons and mainly due to the fact that the server load will become too heavy.

While bigger farms do sound nice, I can understand why it's never going to happen. Tying land upgrades into levelling also has it's appeal but I suspect it would frustrate a lot of people (all the Veruca's who want it all and want it now). Who knows, maybe it is already being considered for future farm/s.

Sunny, I thought it was funny too!

SunnyD- This has happened to me-Whatever you have planted is still fertilized, even if it is layered. But when that is gone and you plant again, you will have to fertilize again. Its all good. lol. I am so addicted to this game. We need a FTA (12 step program, only problem is I don't want to quit.)

[SunnyD]

actually i have layered and fertilized on the last day of the crops growth and have layered again on most all of my farms... not a problem..they were all fertilized.... today is the first time i have had this ever happen.... it was not a big deal since i have a nice stock of Sherman's poo for use........ hmmm just thought the Dev's should know in case it happens to someone else.....

Tony D of the FTBI (Farm Town Bureau of Investigation) says the investigation into the "Pig-Napping" is ongoing there no are suspects at this time...

I have a question, normally people bring over food to the grieving family. Would it be inappropriate if I brought some Eastern NC pit-cooked BBQ with that yummy vinegar and hot sauce drizzled on it?

Your post is still making me ROTFLMAO everytime I see it. And based on that what would be nice is to see pork BBQ sandwich in the sandwich shop. We could utilize the carrots, cabbage for slaw and apples for the cider vinegar and peppers for the hot sauce and bake some buns over in the bakery. Oh dear I'm making myself hungry now.

Do keep up your sense of humor while we wait on our next updates. I know they're going to be good ... this game just keeps getting better. Plus good things come to those who wait!
