Any chance that production can be bumped up on it?

IN THE BEGINNING THEY INDICATED THEY WOULD HARVEST IN 12 hrs. BUT THEY ENDED UP TO BE 2 DAYS. THIS WAS THE FIRST TREE TO CHOP.

BUT I JUST PLANTED MORE TREES.

Thanks for more wheat from the stone windmill. It was the first thing I ever bought with farm cash, BEFORE it was made a facility, because I loved the look of it.

There is most definitely a glitch with the sending of ingredients.

Yesterday I sent to a couple of friends when I saw the first requests.

Last night I tried to send more. It had been at least 6 hours since I had sent the first time. I have no idea if the other farmer got the ingredients, but I got a message telling me that the Mayor had not given me any because I had reached the limit of 250,000 coins worth of products in 3 hours. This was not the case.

I just now tried to send ingredients to a farmer again (it has been at least 12 hours since my last try) and again I got the same message.

Am I the only one having this problem?

Nope - I have it as well. I think it is being addressed. Such a great idea! (Except for the piling up of requests on my page. Any thoughts about restricting those?)

I love this update! And being able to accept any gift of ingredients from friends is my favorite addition to the game.

Add me to the list of people who would like cinnamon to increase production . More units per 6 hours or units to be ready every hour or two would be great! It was a great factory when it first came out but now that more factories are producing things that need cinnamon at faster times (the cola being ready every two hours, for example) it would be great if production could be sped up like the bee farm .

my thoughts exactly. They just hold more total production, so youll have to plant 3 times as much wheat now in order to keep those mills maxed out. actually youll probably have to keep planting wheat non-stop now

If you put in the same amount of wheat as you did before, you get three times as much flour.

You dont have to grow more wheat, you just get 3 times as much flour as you did before in the stone windmill.

Same amount of wheat = 3 times more flour.

Anyone have some other ways of saying it so it might stick in peoples brains? :P

I think there's a lot of confusion about the wheat / flour situation.

The Stone Windmill is purchased with farm cash. Do not confuse it with the Red Windmill which is purchased with coins. The Stone Windmill now produces 15 flour with only 10 wheat. Before the upgrade, it would have taken 30 wheat to produce 15 flour. So, that means if you want the same amount of flour as you used to produce, you can cut your wheat production by 2/3rds.

The other change was to the Red Windmill. It now produces faster, but it still uses a 2 wheat make 1 flour. So, you can get the flour faster and put more in to production, but it uses the same amount of wheat per unit of flour.

I hope that helps.

WE STILL HaVE TO KEEP PLANTING WHEAT. WE COULD HAVE 5 STONE WINDMILLS BUT WILL ONLY GET FLOUR IN ONE OR TWO BECAUSE WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH LEFT TO FILL OTHER WINDMILLS.

WHEAT, ONIONS, CORN, TOMATOES SHOULD BE ONLY 1 DAY PLANTING. TOO MANY FACILITIES USE THESE INGREDIENTS.

THANKS FOR THE NEW UPGRADES. ONE THING I DIDN'T SEE WAS FC$$ WE LEVELED UP. I WENT FROM 185 TO 210 BUT NO INCREASE IN FC AS WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD BEFORE.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL THE NEW THINGS.

I don't know if you own the stone windmill or not but here is a little fyi for everyone. This may also be where the confusion is coming from. If you own the stone windmill and open it to start a batch it says a batch will make 15 bags of flour. If you do not own the stone windmill and just click the question mark in the store it says it makes 5 bags of flour. Now what needs to happen is the developers need to change the question mark info so it is correct. The developers are busy people and like the rest of us either forget to do something or don't think about all the parts that need to be changed when making a game change.
