Yes 2 of my 4 accounts can see each other.

Hi NiMo,
For your sandwich restaurant chain to export one of your neighbors must have a service facility chain that can stock those sandwiches. When you export to them then they need to import what you have sent.
If you had one, for your service chain to import then someone else has to have the corresponding regular facility chain to be able to export to you.

Account 2 has Movie Theatre importing from Pizza Resturant.
This account can export to that account.

Hi NiMo,
All we can see in the data is what chains you have started. We do not see any of who you can export to or import from. As I said, yes the sandwich restaurant can export to the movie theatre, but the only product from the sandwich shop that loads in the movie theatre is the hotdog supreme.

I can now see that.

Needed to play this to understand it, and now what you are saying makes sense.
Whats that saying - "practice makes perfect"

Question New facilities

I'm having trouble getting the Quests done. For the main reason, I can't afford to buy the Facilities. I have to complete the Quests in order to earn enough FarmCash to purchase the Facilities. I am unable to complete the Quests bcuz I don't have the Facilities that require FarmCash to buy. So, in other words, Why can't the dev's pick Facilities that have been in the store for 9 months or longer? I'm sure I"m not the only one. I know the dev's want to increase sales. But, that's not the way to do it. At least be reasonable when it comes to choosing which Facilities to use for the Quests. They can easily program the game to use only Facilities that have been in the store for 9 months or longer. (9 mnths is an approx time frame).
I have been unable to earn FarmCash from Quests for over 4 weeks bcuz 6 out of 9 Facilities for Quests are the new one I don't have.

Hi knolan

It is better to post ideas for the game in our Suggestion section, where we have all suggestions grouped by theme for the developers to read.

You can't start a new thread there, but you can post as a response to a thread that fits with your idea.

This is the link to that section:

Trying to understand what just happened. I went to export products - opened the screen and there were maybe 8 or 9 neighbors I could export to - some could export 40 products, some 80 and one neighbor could export over 200 (260, I think, but it might have been 240). I like to send goodies to as many people as I can so my strategy has been to start with a lower numbered person. So I chose one of the people who could export 40 and clicked that button. I had assumed that EITHER the others would remain unchanged (which happens at times - I guess if they have different products from what the 40 person had) OR that the people with 80 would go down to 40 and the person with 260 would go down to 220. What happened instead is that after I clicked, I DID still have some people with 40 (not sure if those were some of the original 40s or whether they were some 80-40=40 people), but the part that suprised me is that the person who originally had 260 now couldn't be exported to at all. In other words, to maximize my exports, I would have had to export to THAT person first - to make sure I got at least the 260. Is this a bug or is there another explanation? I would think that even if the 260 person had that many of just one product - that after I exported 40 of that product to the first person, I'd still be able to export 220 to this person. But maybe it doesn't work that way.

If it matters, this is my Soft Drink Factory > Snack Machine that DID have a bug in it at one point. I think Raul said that particular bug would be fixed with the next release so maybe this is part of that and he just hasn't gotten to it yet, which is fine. Just trying to understand what happened here if it's NOT a bug.

I'm sort of hoping this is a bug, actually. I like the strategy of being able to start with the lowest person first so I can export to more people. Spread the wealth.

Thanks,

Susan

Hi Susan

I will try to give you the better explanation I have for this.

The Soft Drink Factory products are used in multiple service facilities like the Movie Theater, Dance Club and Snack machine.

When this happens, you can only see the picture of one of those services, in your case, the Snack machine, but you are probably exporting to the other services too. When developers complete the ‘Check Products’ button functionality you will be able to see exactly which products you are exporting and with that information you can figure out on which facility they are being used.
