I am on facebook and just bought the sugar and dairy mill and already had the red windmill. I have used all 3 and the sugar and dairy mill seem to work just like they should, getting things done in the time it is supposed to. However, I really think the windmill is getting things done alot faster than it is suppose to. How fast is the farmcash mill suppose to produce flour? Perhaps it is registering like that one.

Could you please expand on what is wrong when you calculated things?

Here ya go David... I was looking at what the hired harvester is paid per plot, comparing it to what is at the Uncle Joe site and the official FT site.

Edited to add... my columns didn't print correctly but the first number is what was on the Uncle Joe (plowed by neighbor chart). The second column is the official FT number and the third number is what I was actually paid as a hired harvester.

Crop Uncle Joe (Plowed By Neighbor) Official Actual
Chart
Beets 18 17 20
Squash 16 17 17
Basil 23 25 24
Asparagus 18 19 19
Sugar 26 28 27
Eggplant 28 29 29
Sage 30 32 31
Blackberry 58 60 60
Rosemary 104 108 107
Broccoli 88 92 91

The numbers shown in the "actual" column are what I was paid as a hired harvester when I did my test over the last few days. I hired my other identity to do the actual harvests. I did not compare crops where Uncle Joe and the official site were in agreement.

By "dairy buildings" I assume you mean dairy sheds. Do you have cows and/or goats on your farm? You can't harvest unless you have the corresponding animals that go with the particular building. In the case of the dairy shed that would be cows and/or goats.

Once your milk is in storage you can then use the dairy processing facility.

You need one dairy shed on each farm if you have cows and/or goats on each farm but you need only one dairy processing facility that can be shared by both farms.

Have you gone to the dairy facility, opened it and clicked on WHAT'S COOKING? That will show you how much is done and how much is pending. When you want to move it to storage, just click on STORE and it will move the finished product to your regular storage so you can sell it at the MP.

My problem is that when I click on the Windmill and Dairy Processing plants, I cannot always get them to -- open -- with the first click on them. I usually have to click multiple times before they will -- open (for lack of a better term) -- and allow me to click on produce or store. Can some one please help with this problem?
Thank you to the developers for the wonderful new additions to this great game!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

I noticed that too, but thought it was just cos I have both on the same farm.
Looks to be half hour for both now

Just for info.. there's now a step by step guide on how to make butter over in the Help and Support section.

It doesn't cover all the facilities (yet) but the basics are the same.

Enjoy!

Thanks,

Hi There,

why only one facility actually producing goods??

do you know that
the code can multiply the number of facilities times the production rate (of one facility)
and compute the total production rate??

Rhetorical question; of course you do!!

so why not implement it?

Why would you handicap your software application
by not implementing the total production rate ?

what gives ??

Correct me if I'm wrong. It costs 60c to plant sugarcane,you can sell it for 111c (if you do it yourself) But if you turn the cane into sugar you only get 60cs. Am I right? you don't actually make any money?.. Maybe I'm figuring it wrong.
