Discussions about Tools

The developers made a change to when you are harvesting and plowing together at a neighbors farm, your avatar is instantly there, quickly jumping from click to click, yet when I do my own farm, she still just lazily very slowly walks around the farm clearing and/or planting, plant & walk, etc. etc. I thought I would see a difference in time between the 3x3 and then again with the 4x4 and really with the 5x5, but it still takes just as much time to do my own farm as way back at the 3x3. I won't be fooled again with the 6x6. It only saves on the number of clicks you have to make. If it doesn't save me time, it is worthless. I hope this makes sense.

You don't have to wait for your avatar to finish, after you have worked on your last plot click on the save button and it will save your progress so you can move on to something else.

I own the 25 x 25 combination harvest/plow/plant tool, and have absolutely no interest in back sliding to separate harvest then plow then plant commands. But to get to the only tool that I have interest in, the 36x36 combo, I will need 140 farm cash.

There is no incentive for me to buy the new tools. I'm not willing to drop 140 FC at one time and I won't buy them individually because I wouldn't use them.

You need an option to purchase the 36x36 combo when you have the 25x25 combo equivalent as a prerequisite.

Love the game, but it doesn't look like you thought this one thru all the way.

I totally agree .. when i read about the new 6x6 combines i figured you would be able to get them as long as you had the 5x5 combines but nope .. have to buy the 6x6 plow, harvester and seeder before you can get the 6x6 combines .. i already have all the smaller FC tools just sitting around wasting space in my storage but since i paid FC for them i refuse to sell them since you only get coins for them and not a reduced FC price .. I refuse to spend 140 FC just to have the 6x6 all in 1 combine, not worth 140 FC just to have all the others taking up more storage space and never get used.

I am still unable to buy the purple harvest, plow, sow. I have all green tools. Why won't it work for me??

I totally, totally agree with you, it's a rip off. Anyway I am quite happy with my 5x5 combine and other tools. I definitely will not be forking out FC to upgrade to 6x6

how do I use the solar panels? I have a solar plow, but don't know if the panels or link to the plow or if the panels are just for decorations. Thanks for any in put!!!

I think the basic tools for 6x6 harvesting, plowing, sowing should be purchased with farmcoins, but if U want the combines, U can pay with farmcash. It's crazy with the charges, the farmcash items should be cut in half. They are taking advantage of those who are addicted to farmtown, they have an illness, & are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they get every single item, regardless of cost. The company is going to crash soon if they don't get control & start working for those who aren't addicted (seriously). It's not too late for them to make amendments to the charges for items.

If U look in the upper right hand corner of the box in the store for the solar panels, if there isn't a small light green question mark, it means that there are no uses for that item, except for decoration.

The solar panels are just decoration. They don't do anything.

Solar panels are just decorations... solar plow just means it doesn't use any fuel I believe.
