Hi Taz

The time and date on my computer is correct. I am in Australia but that should not make any difference either as it should be going from the time I plant.

Some of these crops are 2 day crops and I know there is no possible way they could be wasted. I was farming everyday and keeping a log of what crops are planted so I know when they are due. Particularly annoying are the 12 hour and 1 day crops. They definitely do not go as they should. I have even said as much to a friend who plays too. We've gone over several settings together but all is as it should be.

I am wondering if maybe Flash could be the problem? When I go to clear the flash history I never see Slashkey there. I see only local and others related to FarmVille. I use Firefox and 3rd party cookies are always active.

Anything you can share with me I'd appreciate it.. I really want to get this sorted out so I can start enjoying it again. It has had me so worked up I harvested and plowed and just left it for a couple of days. I planted again last night (Australia time) but have yet to see if anything has wasted.

Regards,
Lorraine.

Hi Lorraine,
I don't know what else could cause this for you. I use a program that tells me when they are ready and when they are wasted. The program is wrong on the wasted time because they only calculate it to 1 times growth rather than the extra.

Thanks for trying Taz. I just harvested my sugar on farm 20. It still had 8.7 hours to go before wasting. I harvested, plowed and replanted at 10.54 Australia time. I am going to watch it and see what happens from here. It now says that it will be grown in 11.9 hours. In the market it shows as a 12 hour crop so why will it be ready in 11.9 hours? That's set at 3/4 growing time. It should be the 12 hours + the 1.3 further til wasting. If this is where the problem it then it needs to be coded correctly. No wonder I am losing crops.

Am I the only one that feels this is wrong?

It is not telling you the waste time. That is when it will be ready. You will not see the waste time until after it is ready. It that what is confusing you? It will say 11.9 because that is the first increment of time after 12.

No no. I know that. I still don't get why it says it is a 12 hour crop when it is going to cut the growing time down. 12 hours is 12 hours .. not 11.9

It just makes it very difficult to plan ahead. Because you can't trust that it will keep to the times stated. But anyway, so far so good.... it looks like it has settled down for now. (fingers crossed)

PS ... I just harvested and planted potatoes. Potato is a 1 day crop.. 1 day = 24 hours. So why is it then now ready in 19.9 hours ... which is almost 5 hours sooner?

Hi Unicorns4me,
A 1 day crop is 20 hours not 24 in Farm Town. A 2 day crop is 40 hours not 48. In other words a Farm Town day is 20 hours.

Ok.. that's helps. No wonder I have trouble planning anything. Although, I suspect that this has nothing to do with my problem.

I just found 4 out of 5 farms which had potatoes planted, wasted. Only one was waiting for me to harvest despite them all being planted within a minute of each other...and even more amazing it was the middle one of the 5 farms which have potatoes, the other 4 were dead as dodos..... and no I do not use anything other than a flower sprinkler to water my flowers. Well it is supposed to water my flowers, not my crops.

The other thing is I clear my history/cookies every night before bed from Firefox.... would that reverse my work?

I, too, have noticed the game is very sluggish lately.
