If you go to market and want your friend to join you in that market place - send them a 'come join me' request and you end up in the same market

I have a few water falls and stacked waters on my farms and was just told that workers cannot collect a bonus because they have to reload the farm to get all the fish. I guess this wouldn't be an issue if they had the turbo boat.

TY! We were in the same market... no confusion there... just could not see each other, but I appreciate that you took the time to respond!

About the Bonuses.... I think we all should stop complaining about getting paid for a partial job. When you are hired and you complete one aspect of the job, you are finished that job on that farm. If you forget to get the bonus, it is gone. I don't see why people are offended because we get a bonus for finishing a crop on one farm. Sometimes I get kicked off a farm, or I leave because it takes me 4 minutes just to load the farm before I can get to work. Then the 'farmer' has tabbed crops and my computer slows down so much that it is not worth my time to stick around. I WOULD NEVER leave a farm if it was working like it should. Some tabbed farms are good once you wait the 4 minutes for it to load, but others take forever to do anything on. I am frustrated with these people and wonder how they themselves work on their farms when that have a ridiculous amount of tabbing and overlapping!!!. I think if we keep complaining about some people getting things for free, they will just take it away from us. Try just accepting things as they are. It would REALLY frustrate me if I was working a bunch of farms and they got kicked off because the farmer has his stuff overlapped and tabbed, only to lose my bonus too!!!

I feel better now... thanks for giving me the opportunity to vent a bit!

ckerider - I'm just back after a long absence from the game, and i didn't understand what was going on at the farm I was working - when you referenced "tabbing and overlapping" - that's what it was! The farm just looked different, and the job was impossible to finish because of the layers of crops and flowers on top of each other. (all of which you couldn't even SEE without hiding trees) And the graphics got all choppy when i scrolled from one section to the next.
I have no idea how to stack crops on top of each other, or if overlapping and stacking are the same thing. But when it's done to an extreme, it makes working the farm **** near impossible.

Hey Daisy...thanks for answering me. I really don't know how they do it, but I know it takes a lot of time for them to set up the tabs (some have 9 to each square!!). If you should be able to work one of these overlapped/tabbed farms, you do get a lot of moola, but it is NOT WORTH IT! I have 17 farms and do not do any of that stuff, and somehow I manage to fill of all my facilities and post to get the work done everyday. I simply don't get why they need so many trees and flowers and crops be able just to do their farming on a daily basis. I have decided that I won't work these farms, but there is no sense to me of saying to these people WHY I AM QUITTING! I just simply leave and try find a regular farmer just have some fun with their farms.

If the two of you are not on the same server then you would not see each other in the market. When you go to the market you go to the market on the server you are on. By using the Join then your friend will come to the same server market you are on.

to my understanding, reading the notes re the hire STRANGERS ...it does not work if they are your friends, buddies, or neighbours...they must be strangers!! and have found that if hired to pick flowers, then they must hire for all for the tool box to open...have had not problems if hired to harvest and plow, its the other jobs, flower picking, tree chopping, fishing that we seem unable to access our big tools for..also noticed that I have had to click on the treasure chest as soon as a job is completed, before putting down the tool and picking up a new one...

I just harvested the my orange lily 2986 and carnations 2987 in storage after harvest. I unloaded my train which was on the same farm. I reloaded farmtown and my orange lily count was 2365 and the carnations were down to 2366. I did not load any facilities or do any thing else, yet lost hundreds of flowers... Myself and other neighbors are noticing seemingly random shortages... this is one instance where I was able to know exactly what happened... Is anyone aware/working on this storage issue?

It's old advice that we hand out because it usually works, but clearing your memcache may make the missing flowers reappear. (It's also possible that it may not, as the carnation count may have been wrong (too high) before and the game simply displayed the correct figure when you reloaded.)
