Check to see who you are posting it to but I also put a comment in the box and remember to put a "." Seems to do the trick.

just letting you know that my flowers still ripen with water and have to refresh to get them to go back to normal times thats using my normal grey sprinkler not too sure about the red one yet been a busy few days.

My only other issues are the severe lag we get I know to turn the dim off as thats a right slow downer only use it for the fruit trees and dont really have issue with them.

Why is it that it takes so long to get to next farm for instance I am hired to do multible farms have learned to h/p first then do other work in the hope that my avatars little legs catch up before I move onto next farm which inevitably she doesnt so for ages get the enqueueing box before the next farm will load have learned to live with it just wondering if its normal and yes i do change quality to low Thank you

You'll also want to make sure the "settings" in Flash Player has the slider under the file folder with the green arrow all the way to the right. It resets itself to only part of the use of local data storage at random intervals.This should solve part of the problem. Even so, it still takes longer than it should to move to the next farm even if we've done both those things. I keep having problems with it taking a whole 2 minutes just for a river bridge to load - that used to load with no lag - when moving to my 4th farm.

Hi, when i use the brown sprinkler or the red one, the flowers are ready for harvest, and after i use the brown, it becomes not ready.

[maggiel29]

There is something wrong with the Echinacea crop it doesnt say when growing how much time left and when ready doesnt say when wasted

3. Hide menu option improvements: When you click 'Hide' in the item menu you will be offered 3 choices: 1. Hide current item 2. Hide all items like the current item 3.Hide all items in the same category.

Notice that to hide several items manually one by one you should better use the Hide tool in the extended tool box (closed eye icon)

4. Speed Improvement: When using Sow and Plow multitools, the slowness associated to the first click has been eliminated and in general they should work better on bigger farms.

5. Extra Warning Message when trying to delete or sell a farm cash item

6. Turbo Tools for Regular Facilities: The new Turbo tools 'Turbo Bottling Machine' and 'Turbo Drive Thru System' allows you to Start Products into multiple Regular Facilities with one click. To use these tools use the 'Start All' button in the Facility Manager.

All products will be produced in the same order as they appear in the Facility Manager and according to the filters selected. For example, if only 'Facilities in current Farm' are shown then only Regular Facilities in current farm will have productions started. If 'Facilities in all Farms' are shown, all Regular Facilities in all farms will have productions started.

Mod Edit Please Note :- The Turbo Tools for regular facilities only work in conjunction with the regular loading tools . They will only load all facilities that fall under the particular category I.E. The Turbo Bottling machine will load all of the following facilities .. Brewery, Distillery, Juice Factory, Oil factory, Plant Milk Factory, Soft Drink Factory, Winery, Wine Cellar.
The Turbo Drive Thru Sytem will load all ..Bakery, BBQ Restaurant, Breakfast restaurant, Coffee and Tea Shop, Donut Shop, Fish and Chips, Hamburger restaurant, Pizza restaurant, Sandwich restaurant. Taco restaurant



7. Railroad Baron Minigame: As usual, you have 3 stages and you can go into Practice mode to play each of the stages and improve personal records or you have the option to play multiplayer with all your friends currently in the farm, in this case, the user who finish all the 3 stages first win.

The Goal of this minigame is to build train paths and coordinate the flow of the trains to their destinations.

8. New Custom Order sort option in Facility Manager: Select this option to rearrange your facilities the way you like it in the Facility Manager view. By default, the custom order show first all regular and service facilities sorted by production chain and then all animal facilities.

Click the blue Up/Down arrow icon and drag and drop any facility to any place you like and this final order will be the one used in the Facility Manager every time you select the Custom Order sorting option.

This option is specially useful now with the Turbo Tools for regular facilities if you want to prioritize some facilities before others to administer and control better the use of your ingredients.

9. Multifarm tools improvements: When using multifarm tools (water sprinklers and manure spreaders) it will disable the farms that are already watered, irrigated or fertilized.

10. Other Bug Fixes:

- When 'Mouse Over' items in any zoom level you should always see the full title of the item without truncation, including info tokens like W,I and F
- XP not incrementing for users with very high XP count, this is now fixed

Actually they said to let them know if there were problems with the flowers still.
Your Start All tools are working correctly. Read the note added in blue text by the moderators. The two tools they released this time only do part of the facilities.

[Bbb-3]

Flowers r still showing ready to harvest when watered when they have time to grow also when hired to harvest trees or flowers not crop I am able to get the crop with the cycle if the crop is ready. You can still get a chest after doing the trees and flowers without doing the crop but if you want to use the cycle to harvest the crop, you still get another chest (if you have tools they do not show up, the cycle represents harvesting )

This helps, but it still takes me like over 3 minutes to make like 13,000 coins. Certainly not worth it. It is not fun trashing all those tracks I don't need. I suppose if I was smarter, I might figure out how to use more of them, but so far I haven't done it and more than likely Im not going to. I can make all the coins fishing or watering everyday and I don't even do those, so I certainly am not going to waste my time on a train track game that isn't even fun. Perhaps if they showed an example of it being done, I could see more how to do it where it might actually be fun, but the way I do it, it is not fun so it is not going to be played.
