Belt System Updates -- June 2nd, 2011

I always like giving better than receiving anyway. :-)

Oooh I dunno - I have got all the corn I need to fill up my facilities (over 3000) from just harvesting two fields this morning and getting a bonus gift from a friend. Helps her helps me. I think its a great idea - works better now we have the option to ask for a posting box and we only get pop ups for Brown and Black. If I delay my onions until this evening I will probably get enough of those as well.

Clicked on a friend's bonus offer from 27 minutes ago and was told it had expired. Huh?

My friends have got that too - but could click on and earlier one OK.

I havent had any problems - I think sometimes it seems to come up with that message when you have already clicked on that bonus or already sent your limit. Does it with the ingredient requests too.

Amazingly fast response. Love our developers.

I haven't had a chance to fully absorb Raul's post about how the belts work - will do that later. But I did notice one tweak that would be nice - the hover doesn't seem to work when you have a tool activated. For example, when I'm on my farm and click on my seeder, that's when I'd like to be able to see how many of each crop I have left for a certain belt. I don't want to have to look in the store to decide what I want to plant first and then click on my seeder and go back to the store. That makes it a 2-step process each time when it could be 1.

And again, I'll say that I LOVE being able to click on the belt posts. I got over 1500 pine logs, plus lots of cotton, corn and wheat this morning and it truly made me a happy camper. Still wish you'd get rid of the 3 hour thing, but overall, I love this new toy. And about posting to FB . . . ok, here's a different twist . . . but to me, I sort of like being able to advertize FT. I love this game. Feel like it's the best game out there. So I want it to do well and thrive. I'm happy to be able to do my part in attracting new users. And when I post, I know that I'm making my neighbors happy, too, so it's a win-win, IMHO. And . . . I always have the option of not posting.

With all the notifications crowding our pages, I had an idea - beginning players need to work at facilities to gain $$, goods and XP. I don't have time to work at facilities; my 9 farms are a full time job. I love being able to choose bonus items or ingredients to share when I send. I also love to refer clients. Can there be a preference box where we can get only the requests we wish to see? I would block requests to work and requests for another tree or item obtained as a gift.

I notice that since all this requesting has come up the marketplace for selling is usually empty. I am lucky if I can get 1000 items once a day. It would help if the time restriction were loosened up so I can take advantage of sellers whenever they happen to be there with me.

Hi, I am not receiving notifications on my wall for helping my fellow farmers. I went into my account into and it does not have the option to allow FT to post to my wall.

Well said Farmer Susan!
