If you click to go to another farm or somewhere, the black "loading farm" will sit there and cycle untill the server catches up b4 it takes you there.

I'm using my past experiences in bulldozing as a frame of reference here.
Once a whole farm is bulldozed and you click save - it takes a long time b4 its saved. Trying to go to another farm wont happen untill it finishes catching up on server.

I'll try this out though - the next time i seed something........

When you click on save it should save everything quickly it just depends on your computer and internet speed. Now on how long the farm you click on takes to load depends on your computer and internet speed not what you have done on the farm you are leaving it will load at the same speed as if you have no work pending on the farm you are leaving. When you click on save you are saving all work on the server it doesn't matter that the work doesn't show done on your farm. Give it a try nxt time you plant and you will see it is much faster.

Really would like to see a alternate view of the ice cream shop.

But for those of us who don't do Halloween, then it would be a pain to have that happen

.

Just to lend my voice to the Save discussion, I never wait for the avatar to finish his work. I don't have that kind of patience. 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.

I also save in the same way and go on to the next task...... most of the time if i am seeding.. after i save i will go to another one of my farms and come back to where i just seeded just to make sure I didn't miss any fields.... that does happen from time to time......
