Discussions about Hiring and Hiring Practices

[ccheney]

I've run into heavily layered fish farms too. The problem is we need an insane amount of fish.

How many times has this happened?

We will try testing this to see if we can duplicate it.

Let us know if it happens again.

EDIT TO ADD >>

We have done some testing and are unable to reproduce this. Just in case it was stray data causing the miss hire, can you please try clearing your FT memcache. To do that Click Here. A window will open with a list of "unsetting", that is the memcache being cleared. Close that window and FT if you have it open in another window. Then reload and try hiring for just HP again.

Do report back if you still get the problem.

Strange things do happen occasionally. One day I went on my farm and someone was there harvesting and plowing and I never hired anybody I had just logged on. She wasn't a neighbour or a friend because I checked. It was so painful watching her using the single harvest and plow tool so I hired her just so she could use my big tools. Not been back since.

I have a question...I know we get extra when we hire from the market, and the worker gets the bonus chest. Does this also apply if we hire a stranger from the inn? The game guide only mentions hiring from the market.

Hi Dutch,
It works from either market and from the Inn. You just can't hire them on a farm.

Thank you Taz

Well.. another farmer just did it again. I hired her on the market and i know i only ticked "hire to harvest crops and plow" and let her use my tools and fuel. And yet she did all my trees too !!

I even asked her how the hell she managed to harvest the trees, and then clicked on her once more. ONLY ! "hire to harvest crops, and plow " was checked !

I'm so tired of this, i dont want my trees done, i use them mainly for decoration.

Edit..and now she's busy doing all my flowers too.. i hate this !

Hi Kai

Which tool is she using to harvest your trees and flowers? Is she harvesting them one by one?

She was doing both the trees and flowers with a harvester.

I asked her several times how she did that (even after i double checked that only crops and plow was ticked) and she answered :

"with the tools via the toolbox symbol" so apparently she had all the necessary tools available.

Hi Kai,
Was she doing the trees and flowers 1 or 2 at a time or larger groups?
