Where do you get salmon?

I don't see them in the rivers or the oceans?

As a software developer myself, I always loaded changes to a system during the time of LOWEST activity. It seems as though these upgrades are rolled out on a Friday, which HAS to be the beginning of the highest activity, due to the weekend.

Is there a reason you choose to not roll the changes out on Monday or Tuesday?

I also HIGHLY recommend that when you do roll out changes, you add a popup like the Lottery announcement to everyone's farm so that they know an upgrade is occurring. The vast majority of the players have no idea what this Forum tab provides, and the Marketplace gets really ugly with ignorant whiners and complainers.

Thanks!

Thank you! I was wondering if I was the only one having issues today. I agree, it would be nice to know when it is going to be slow/things not working properly, etc. I JUST found the forums not too long ago after playing the game pretty much since it came out on FB. I totally agree with what you said! Thanks! :-)

Coffee fields with plowing figured in.

4 coffee 170x4=680
1 batch of ground coffee sells for 780 coins
1 unit of ground coffee sells for 195 coins

That gives me a profit of 100 coins per batch or 25 coins per field of coffee.

That would make coffee the only product that you would make less per field by turning the harvest into a product then if you sold the harvest.

Even wheat, corn, and sugar cane that is turned into flour, corn flour, and sugar makes a good profit if sold and not turned into another product. With Coffee if you don't turn it into ice cream you lose a lot of money on it.

Can mod please ask the developers about this.

I thought the same as you when I first saw this, but it is just a mistake in the help tab. If you look to see how much coffee you have in storage, then go and click to do one batch of coffee, then go back and check your storage, it only takes 1 not 4. It had me worried as well and that is what I did to find out exactly how much is taken. Hope this helps

The exact same thing has happened to me - grew rice and fished like crazy - loaded the sushi restaurant up this morning - got a little bit out of it - and come back this afternoon and it is ALL gone - and not in my storage either.

So disappointing.

I think the same thing happened with my coffee facility but I can't be sure.

neither do i. been wondering why this one facility doesn't have that button. could it be bec of the very small limit for production. just 3 cllicks and then you've reached your max. i don't know if that has anything to do with it though. paging devs please!

I was surprised to find several new taste sensations when I went to the marketplace to sell products from the seafood restaurant ..

All of the products from the restaurant had the green tick on them ... and when I clicked it, I was told I could make ice cream from that product ...

I'm assuming this is a bug ..

Or hmmmmm .... I wonder..... Grilled Swordfish Icecream, Grilled Mahi-Mahi Icecream, Oyster Shooter Icecream .. etc? There is obviously a whole world out there of ice-cream delight that I am missing.

Thanks I didn't notice that, but just checked it and your right it is only taking one coffee.

It is a world of ice cream I'm going to stay away from.
