I just noticed that mine had reverted back too. I changed to the new view, saved the farm - dont think I did that last time then did the usual - clear cache, macromedia files and rebooted my browser. Touch wood its still showing the new view.

Me too - meat I could cope with as it was non specific - why cant the new restaurant just use meat. Even if I dont have the new facility I am still going to get gifts I balk at. The dead chicken carcass was bad enough - I suppose at least its cubed and chopped "L" word!

I'm worried about the new feature that allows us to only work 1/2 the factories on each farm, & the mayor does the other half. It indicates how many items have been added, but, how do I know that I'm getting all the XP's that I'm entitled to. I would prefer that we have a choice to allow the mayor to process half of the factories, or allow me to do it myself. I prefer to do it myself, even tho it's time consuming, ;

Grammy, I've only got one friend who currently plays farm town and I put in my post which facilities I'd like him to work or skip, and he was able to do that, prior to yesterday. When they first put in the "work facilities" function you actually had to click on each production in a facility, then they added the work all option, then they ended up taking away the option to work on individual ones (I'm not sure when they got rid of it because I stopped using facebook at all for a while last summer in an effort to use my computer less to keep my apartment cooler). It impacts the farmer who owns the facility because it makes it so a certain facility cannot be skipped over if the game has decided to put it in the second half of the places for that farm (it's not even done alphabetically).

Other than thinking that your worker gets a share of your goods - as Grammy Snowbird says I am sorry but I really dont understand why you are so upset - it makes it easier for your friend and just means your goods get produced quicker. I never keep my Facs full - I fill them all up, then wait until they are all empty while I gather enough to fill them up again.

This was a great update. Thank you Raul ;-)

I am having one problem, and that is the black FLASH player screen of death. It happens when I am working others' facilities, not all the time, but enough to be a major inconvenience. This just started happening since the latest update.

Oh dear - sorry with all due respect how do you know you get the XPs anyway without checking the math - same goes for anything in this game that adds cumulative totals.
I for one love this feature - I think the Devs have done their best to give us a good way to speed up working on Facs and make it easier to get workers - which is what we asked for.
It seems that those who dont like this feel their freedom of choice has been taken away - I apologise but I just dont see it as a problem

Strange - I suppose the time is right on your computer?

Another fantastic improvement. I really love that the mayor helps us now in facilities. Thanks again.
