Re: Brown & Red Sprinkler Issues
I've been playing FT since 2009, my favorite game, and I think this is the first time the dev's have seriously messed something up and not fixed it rather quickly. Like everyone else, I can't water my flowers with the missing brown sprinkler if I'm waiting to put in a crop and need to use the red sprinkler to cut the time in half. That being said, I'm not giving up on the devs for developing a solution that will make everyone happy- but they do seem to be taking their time about it.

I have no idea if the developers will give the brown sprinkler back to people but here is something to think about. The developers made the red sprinkler with the idea it would replace the brown sprinkler much like the orange manure spreader replaces the red manure spreader. People that bought the first manure spreader didn't complain when the orange one came out about not being able to just fertilize crops and not trees. They probably thought the same would be true for the watering of crops and flowers. Well they where wrong about that, so they have to write new code for the red sprinkler. This is not easy or quick to do. We are not talking about a quick fix of going in and changing the time from 24 hours to 20 hours that only requires a line or two of code to be changed we are talking about writing lots of code to give people what they want. That takes time and can not be done over night. I do think it would be great of the developers to say that they are working on that but it will take some time to do it but they haven't and communications is not their strong suit. I am sure the brown sprinkler will be back soon we will just have to wait till the developers can get it worked out.

Agreed, JAS. They probably have to write code equivalent to a new release. Maybe they need to hire a publicist

Posted this on the other new release forum under Help and Support but just in case someone here has an idea ...............
I posted a couple of days ago that the new switch view larger stables do not work in the facility manager. I took all the animals and stored the stables. Reloaded my farm put the stables and the animals back - it now says ready to harvest but the facility manager says "No animals ready to harvest at this time".
Any ideas please?
I have both types of stable one on farm 2 and the other on farm 4.
Server WF8, using Google Chrome and Windows 7

thank you raul, but would you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE increase the gift items for the factories??? 15 tomatoes is not really feasable, because it takes so many for everything!!!! 100 would be good, 200 would be great!!! if you would consider this for all the factory consumable items, that would be fantastic!!!! thanks raul for all the awesome updates!!!!

I earlier posted that I didn't see much problem with new Red Sprinkler, but after I have been using it for a few days I feel I need to retract that statement and go with the ones that are giving it bad reviews. I love the fact that it does speed up the crops, it is just that I have now had many occasions where I need to water my flowers but had nothing planted or was planning on planting a short growing time plant that didn't need to be sped up in the harvesting and then plant a longer growing time plant that did. So I agree since we did spend so much FC to have them both, we need to to be able to use them independently. The brown one only doing flowers and once a day, and the red one can also only used once a day but would not matter if the brown had been used cause if the flowers are already watered they want need it again anyway. Kind of like the old Almond Joy/Mounds commercial, "Sometimes you feel like a nut, and sometimes you don't".

You can send to the other people aswell about 30 mins or so after you send to the first 35, should work then

I'm probably in the wrong pew but where do you use the cork oak trees or do you use them at all? Would really appreciate someone answering this. Thanks
