Hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.

just to add a note I went and worked a neighbors farm and when I came back I was missing another gift. 2 people have gifted me this morning but my count only increased by one. I am going to redeem the gifts I have left and see what happens.

What job where you hired for and what tools for that job do you own?

Thank you

Just tried another one - was hired from the market ONLY for chopping trees with chainsaw and this guys farm was loaded with them. Chainsaw appeared on the main page, but extended toolbox not accessible. First farm there were about 30 or so that I could not get to no matter what I tried. Went ahead and went to another farm (for the same person), and there were 7 trees it would not let me chop, no matter how hard I tried. Lost the bonus on both farms so i didn't even try the other 5 farms that I know were loaded with trees. btw, I had just cleared cache and memcache immediately before doing this guys farm just to be sure of things.

I have found out that sometimes I have to water the flowers to finish the job to get the chest bonus. I have searched farms for several minutes and everything appears done then I water the flowers and there is one left and when I harvest it , I get to collect the bonus. I had a pretty big bonus the first time and I had given up until I decided to water the flowers and that is when I found one flower that was not harvested.

The chest bonus is a good idea, what I dont like about it is that it needs 100 percent complete. This needs to be changed to about 90-95 percent. There are many farms that have smaller trees that are hidden by larger trees that can not be gotten to. Flower that need to be watered first. The owner should have to have them watered first. There have been many times I could not receive the bonus, thanks to one of the things listed above. Please check into this.

[ohoh]

im not able to collect the bonuses after getting all the work done, i click on the tressure icon and it continues to tell me that i have to finish in order to collct, and i cant even though everything is done, is anyone else having that problem?

That happened to me, didn't think to water, I just assumed a bug and left. Thanks for the info!!!

Anyone else notice that the coins you get for visiting your farm once a day has finally gone over 40,000? Is it tied to levels?

Ohoh, try the above if you are hired for flowers. also, are you using the dimmer switch? I was hired to clean up someone else's leavings and that was a necessity. The Treasure Box is sensitive, it's not going to give you what you didn't earn, there has to be something left. Unless it's a bug, but I hope not.

Are you saying your worker did not get their bonus or are you expecting a bonus for yourself when they finish?

Fruit trees are another problem especially when they are not fertilized, it is very difficult & time consuming to find any you may have missed.

Maybe if everyone wrote the Boss and told them that they cannot work their farms due to the stacking, they would take those down or at least not bother the rest of us with them. I tell them right off I don't do 9 layers or stacks, thank them for choosing me, and leave. There are other jobs and other workers, no sense in wasting anyone's time.

For the fruit trees, are you using the dimmer switch? I never use the fertz highlight, the dimmer switch is way better for finding undone work, especially picking and fishing.

I find that FROZEN FLOWERS are the worst...there is no way you can harvest them...so you cannot finish the job to collect the bonus..and yes, some people insist on planting tall trees on top of short trees, which makes it near impossible to harvest...sometimes if you put down your big tree shaker and pick up the single harvester, you will find that elusive tree and can then shake it..and I have found if you click on the bonus chest before clicking on the save icon, you get that message saying the bonus has expired!!!
