New Release -- October 26th, 2012

[Electrox]

Each water has a set hours till you can fish again. FC water is 8 hrs, so 50% is 4 hrs. coin water varies I think.

FC waters take 8 hours, coin waters take 20 hours; but if you're trying to calculate readiness by the clock, you have to remember when you fished 'em last. I long ago stopped writing down crop and harvest timetables. Simpler to hover the boat and see exactly how close they are - which is, alas, the functionality we have lost and which I was asking the Devs to restore.

For the devs: When you release new facilities, please consider including what tools can be used for that facility. The game guide has not been updated for tools since May, and knowing what tools (conveyors, workbenches, etc.) are associated with each new facility would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hi. Can someone jog my memory please. I haven't hired at the market place for a while.....when hiring from the market palace..do you get the same amount of XP for hiring someone to Plow as you do if you Plow yourself, or are the XP point split between 2 people when you hire someone. (Hope that makes sense)
Thanks

With the new release empty waters dim out until they're ready to fish! (I have the turbo boat so there are never any partially-fished waters, they're either full or empty.)

If you have a non-fishing tool selected you can see the water, of course, but it just tells you "0 Fish - XXXX Bait".

Could the Devs figure out a new way to tell us how long till the fish are ready?

Are you asking to be able to see how close to ready the ponds are when they are dimmed out? The functionality is still there (for me) when they are NOT dimmed out.

Hi , yes you get the same amount of experience points when you hire to plough as when you do it yourself (1 xp). As for the hired workers, it is simply a matter of whoever does the ploughing of a particular plot gets the xp .

Really like the dim out feature. It works great on all my farms except the orchard. I have trees in 8 x 8 plots covering most of the farm. Flowers planted between the trees and plowed fields filling the rest. No overlapping layering.

What I noticed is when I select the dim out feature it slows the game down, way down. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this??

Love the dimmer tool but just noticed a small problem when working on a neighbours farm. When the harvest tool is selected the harvestable fruit trees and flowers are not dimmed out and some are in the way of the crops. I would not use the crop harvester to do trees or flowers so is it possible to get these to dim when the crop harvester is selected. This does not happen with either type of combine tool.

Maggie if you are meaning the sickle that tool can actually be used for crops, harvestable trees and flowers so none of those would dim out.
