When you have the last field clicked the seed bag deactivates and the green man highlights. This will let you know if you have all the field seeded. If you still have the seed bag you missed a field.

Oh yeah. I would DEFINITELY do that! Great chance for Farm Town to make some money.

Incidentally, the new storage seems to be helping a BUNCH. I figured I was getting pretty full (though hadn't received the warning - YAY!), so I went to the Market to sell stuff last night. It was a BREEZE! Didn't take forever like it used to. I could be wrong but I attributed the selling speed to the increased amount of storage we got with this release and wanted to say thanks.

Now . . . about those additional Halloween decorations . . .

I click Save and go on to whatever my next task is, whether that is to jump to another farm or leave the game entirely. The point is, clicking Save does save immediately (barring internet problems). Haven't lost anything yet.

Sorry, but i just tested this on both bulldozing and seeding, and it doesnt work the way it was stated.

Although i was able to click save and immediatly go to the inn, i tried clicking the go-home link, and as i suspected, all i got was the
"loading farm" black box that would not take me back to my farm any quicker than waiting for my avatar to finish planting.
I sat in the inn waiting the same amount of time it takes for the dude to finish planting, while watching coins and points popping up over my head.

Let me rephrase that:
While it may work for others, it doesnt ring true for me.
Obviously your pc is beefed up more than mine.
I have 2GB's of ram and highspeed cable - 768Mbs per sec, and a 256 mb video card.

The fact that you can immediatly go to another farm means you wouldnt have had to wait any longer for your dude to finish to begin with, because your pc can transfer data faster than mine.

But the bottom line is no mater what - nothings gonna load till that dudes done and the data is saved.
it's not immediate just becuase you clicked save, but rather because your computers that fast

I have no idea why this does not work for you... i and many of my neighbors doing this as well. and it always works for us.. i do have a pretty good pc but I am on dial up service so I know my server is way slower for me than most people that play this game... and it always saves for me this way.......

Hi, sorry it does not work for you. I have a 6-7 year old pc with 1 gb ram and a crappy wireless modem and it works fine for me. Have you checked your preference settings to make sure that there is not a tick beside "follow avatar...." and "wait for each plow/plant "?

no i dont have follow avatar on or wait for plow/plant.

maybe it because im on myspace instead of facebook?

myspace players are notoriously robbed of the good features... lol

ie: "produce faster"

idk - beats me. I even tried realoding, but of coarse, some work did not get completed when i did that.

ahhh your on My Space....... yup i bet that is why....... i did at the urging of a friend of mine.... decide to start playing Farm Town on My Space umm that lasted about 3 days...... till i got ticked off and left...... i loved starting a new game and all...... but ummm no way could i put up with the slowness of their platform... you should really think of playing in Facebook if this is the only thing you use it for......

When will we be able to "buy" fuel as I can not get my neighbors to gift me fuel for my 6 farms and always run out while planting????? Help!!!
