I bought it and it is not worth the FC. It was a total waste of my money.

[Taz D]

I totally disagree. I like the Bottling Machine. I can fill all my bottling items like the winery and soda factory by clicking the All for the products I know I have plenty of supplies for.

[Chelly Jelly]

I like the Bottling Machine coz I have a lot of bottling facilities. It saves me time when filling up all my facilities. The opinion depends on how many facilities you have.

I have every facility there is and can max out all of them in 30 minutes the 2 seconds this tool will save me is not worth the fc in my opinion. Now if it cut the time down maybe but it doesn't and it doesn't even save clicks in one of the 7 facilities it is used in so it is really only good in 6 facilities and one of those it only saves 3 clicks. So my opinion is it is not worth the 35 fc and it seems that the developers will be releasing all these different tools that activate the all button and they will all be fc. I don't mind fc items in the game, I have tons of fc items, but they seem to making more and more of the stuff people really want for fc and not coins. They also seem to be adding on to stuff you must have before you can get the new and better stuff. I know they need to make a living, and that is fine I do not have a problem with that, but I will not feed greed in any game and that is what this is starting to look like greed.

I want to thank you for writing about your problem with semi. I posted for four days, the only response I got from Tony D was to tell me how many I was supposed to get. I learned basic math probably before Tony D was born, so that was most helpful. However after you wrote the dev team started looking into it. So if I have another problem may I contact you so you can post it. Thanks Papaw Bill

papaw bill, sorry, but I think you'll have to be very, very old to have learned math before our Tony was born ..... and he is always extremely helpful when needed. The problems the moderators face is that there are a lot of people out here in forum land who have problems because of very simple mistakes they have made within the game, and Tony and the others have to ask and answer those questions first, rather than begin with complicated questions.

how does the plow/planter work?
Does it work only on your own farm?

Yes only on your own farm (I answered you in the other thread) as you can only seed on your own farm.

i have a harvester,plower and logtruck with chainsaw.in my storage. when i try to use it on someone's farm it comes up and tells me i must have them in storage to use these, which i do!. how can i use these correctly?

[christy.richard]

Can we use our plower and harvester in others farms? It lets me take it there but wont do anything.

[Taz D]

The only ones that work on others farms are the tools purchased for Farm Cash.

[tcpie55]

I also am very disappointed with this machine. I for one, am looking for an "ALL" button to save me time with most of these facilities (as I have over 70). The one's that work with this machine are not one's that click 12 to 24 times an ingredient. It should work for all that are bottled, Essential, perfume,ink..just to name a few.Please try to make it so it is worth FC.

Nothing is making you buy everything the moment it comes out but your own sense of completion either. Jus' saying. :P

[JAS0643]

I do not own everything but my point still remains the developers have started getting carried away with the you must own xy&z before you can buy the new tool. Tools are getting very expensive. To get the 5x5 combo that plows plants and harvests you have to spend 305 fc or $50 real dollars. Now I understand that the developers need to make a living but that is getting greedy. What will come out in the next release will it be 6x6 tools with the all the 5x5 required first. There was very little time between the 4x4 and the 5x5 so I am sure there will be 6x6 very soon. Where does it end? People don't even have to choice of saying you know what I don't want to work for others so I don't need the combo that just harvests and then plows but I will get the 3 way one for my farm, nope they must buy all of them or nothing. Like it or not thank of me what you will but the fact is that this type of thing is a big part of the reason the game has lost so many players. If the developers do not see that soon there will be no farm town and they will really be hurting for money. Lets not forget that people buying farm cash is not the only way they get paid they do get money for the ads on fb so giving the players a few of the most requested things for coins will not brake their piggy banks.

i share the same disappointment after purchasing.. and the same concerns for future items.. this is the first time ive actually thought "hmm, should do i really need to buy FC for this machine?" - machines should be value - this one certainly isnt, and it will make me think twice about the next "super tool"

Hi Tony,

JAS0643 may well have have strayed off topic but the nail has been hit on the head so to speak, the bottling machine is overpriced for what it does and is limited in use at present......

as ive posted i am sure slashkey will build on this machine in the future and yet more farm cash will have to be spent to use an upgraded machine for bottles which the present machine could produce now

perhaps JAS0643's post was indepth regarding farm cash but its raised my eyebrows at the cash ive already spent and wish i'd kept my money in my pocket and not bought the bottling machine

regards
andrea :)

[max_river]

i glade after reading the comments i saved my fc and did not get bottle machine.they could of add more to the fork lift just a thought

[JeffK627]

In order to buy the 5x5 Combine (Harvest + Plow), you first have to buy the 4x4 harvester, 5x5 harvester, 4x4 plow and 5x5 plow, which totals 150 Farm Cash. The Combine is then another 35 FC, for a total of 185. At current prices for FC, that's over $30 for this tool, which is flat out ridiculous.

I submit that we should be able to buy tools that can only be purchased with Farm Cash in any order, without prerequisite purchases. You'll still make your money without being greedy.

[crainshaw3]

I hit the buy button that makes your whole farm covered in water, how do I un do it.

I was looking into this just this morning. I have none of the high priced farm cash tools but something that will harvest, plow and then plant all at once sounds like a great idea even if it will cost me my left arm. I want to know however before I sacrifice my arm just how it works on staggered fields? Anyone know and care to share their opinion about this? I wish we could have a trial run with these before deciding to spend the money. It's the reason I haven't bought any FC tools in the past. If I don't know how it will work on my fields I would rather not spend the cash. I don't have it to spare.

[HelenJS22]

Hi Whoopsidaisy, I've used my harvest, plow and plant combine on one of my own farms that I test staggered and also on farms of neighbours who have staggered farms and had no problems with any of them.

Yes, it costs plenty of farm cash to buy your way up to it, but for me who plays on farm town regularly and runs a small business at home, it is worth every cent of it to be able to charge around farm town, then smack my fingers and get back to my work in the real world :D

Thank you both for the feed back :) I'm buying farm cash this next month to pick up the facilities I don't have yet and will seriously think about adding this also. I love the yield with the staggered fields but I really hate the harvesting, planting and plowing of them, lol.

[pony1pony2]

there whould be a tool like the yellow hand that you can just click on things that you want to sell and they get sold instead of clicking on the object clicking sell and then clicking the check mark. what do you think?:D

[sassysuzie]

I'm surprised there aren't many complaints about the new combine 5x5. Many times when I have hired someone with this tool, they arrive at my farm and everything freezes. Some of my friends have bought one but had to make quite a sizable investment to fill requirements for having this tool. Only to discover it causes too many problems.

Anyone else having trouble with the combine 5x5?

[Angel70]

You can do that with the yellow bulldozer. It will say you delete it, but you get coins for the objects you delete.

[Angel70]

I used to have that problem too. Everytime I hired my neighbour to harvest and plow my field using the combine, everything froze. Not to her, but to me. I had to shut everything down and restart the computer. This problem was solved after the last update. Haven't had any problems since.
Contact Slashkey because from what I read in the last update, they were aware of the problem and asked to contact them if you still have problems now.

[sassysuzie]

You may be right about that. I haven't noticed it happening so much lately. But my friend is still highly aggravated about investing cash into a product she is very unhappy with.

I bought the new combine harvest ,plow ,plant it wouldn't go into storage si I set it on farm 9. The next a.m. I got on and it was gone. I tried everything to no avail. Today now smy old combine harvest,plow dissappeared. It is gone. These are far too expensive to just loose. Is there anyone who can help ? Estelle EMW

[bluehair]

tool......I timed one farm and it was a little over 90 seconds :) sure does save a lot of time :)

[tnbskts]

I haven't noticed the freezing problem recently either. Would be very nice if it really has been sorted, because I was getting to the point of asking for people without tools when I hired at the market.

[Hornyroo]

with the new 5x5 harvest plow plant, it has elimnated the need for hiring anyone.. i do it all myself, and no lock up issues at this point...

[Hornyroo]

my fave new tool ever, after the fishing boats

[pythonis]

i like it very much as well, except that now i dont have an excuse to not clean the house.

[pythonis]

it took you 90 seconds? why so long?

[Taz D]

Maybe they stopped to clean the house....:D

:( Anyone else having this problem? When I had the Harvest/Plow combine I could do 4 crops a day on each of my 10 farms and never run out of fuel. I just upgraded to the new Harvest/plow/sow combine and I did not have enough fuel to plant two crops. Then I had to wait until midnight to get more fuel. Happened again the second day. I'm going back to the old way of farming!

It costs you 1 fuel per plot harvested and 1 fuel per plot seeded. So it takes 2 fuel for each plot you use it on. You are using no more fuel than you would if use the harvest/plow combine and then use the seeder to replant those fields.

[mommom]

Put an oil well on each farm. Then your refinery will make more than enough fuel for this tool. I have it, and only have to refuel every two weeks or so because I have over a million units of fuel by then.

Also, work to help at farms with factories and their refineries will give you fuel.

You can also convert gifts to fuel, but it won't give you that much.

[SSF]

I was sent a side spreader as a gift, but I'm not sure how to use it. Does it have a purpose or is it strictly just for decoration?

Thank you for your help.

LOL, my fertilizer time is off again...I am on central time my clock is correct on the computer...do not know what happened. An hour ago it said I had one hour now it says I have 10....Could you reset it please! ty vm!! Thank you for fixing the facilities too! =) tytytytytyty =)

That would be 10 minutes then. I don't worry with the time left. If there is enough time left for me to plant then I know the crop will be fertilized all the way through. When I go to a farm to plant or harvest my trees (don't do flowers) I check the fertilizer first. If it still has time I do the job and don't worry about it until the next time.
I have only had one occasion where it ran out in the middle of planting. All of a sudden I noticed that my new seeds were darker and didn't have the highlighted glow. Checked fertilizing again and sure enough it had run out in the middle of planting.

[JAS0643]

The fertilizer will tell you how many hours you have left until you get to less then one hour then it switches to how many minutes you have left. The only problem with that is while the number part of the time switches to minutes the word part does not switch to minutes it will still say hours. So if you see you have 1 hour left then notice it going to 30 hours then 25 hours then to 23 hours the time really is minutes not hours. As long as the farm is fertilized at some point during the growing of the crop, tree, or flower they will be fertilized when ready to harvest even if the farm is not fertilized when you plant them or when you harvest them.

[notacheesehead]

:confused:

I just bought the white bulldozer. I got it for when I plant the wrong crop and want to more rapidly clear the mis-planted stuff to correct.

It *says* it will clear 2 x 2, but all I can do is a single field at a time. I have tried using it from tool box select (storage) and placing it on the farm that needs clearing. Still only single field.
Is there a trick to this?

You can't bulldoze if the plot has been planted, that's why it does just 1.

What a bummer this was.....Have you ever heard of a snack machine with two snacks in it. Plantains, and sunflower seed. A couple dried fruit, and the rest drinks....and the snack factory is loaded with snacks......If this is all there will be this was a sure waste of 2,000,000, sorry.

If its a waste, then don't buy it. You don't have to buy everything

[farmer fitchy]

i think there are so many more things that should be in there!!!, and as listed elsewhere no cola!!! its used in too many places already.

[gumballs678]

i think there are so many more things that should be in there!!!, and as listed elsewhere no cola!!! its used in too many places already.

Just because there are products that are used in a lot of facilities, doesn't mean they shouldn't be used. Just look at bread and flour and many other products. You don't have make cola in there.

[pythonis]

If its a waste, then don't buy it. You don't have to buy everything
wont know if its a waste until you buy it.

[Buffycat]

I do wish they would put more variety in the service facilites and not keep using cola and farmerade for everthing. Still no use for ginger ale, couldn't that go in the vending machines? I agree they could diversify their productions a bit more, but I am still having fun.

[max_river]

ginger ale does have use in the pool bar

[Buffycat]

Ahh those lovely pay with real money facilities that I won't buy.

[max_river]

people do buy them with fc earned i would rather buy that than a decoration with my fc

[Buffycat]

Yea I don't have any pay with cash decorations, just useful facilities, but there is only so much u can buy with 240 farm cash, it runs out fast.

[artisanrox]

wont know if its a waste until you buy it.

You can easily do the math in this game (and in the real world) to know whether something is a waste before you buy it or not. Also looking at the game guide isn't hard.



And maybe the devs are working to put more stuff eventually in the service faciltites. :) All i know is I like the fact that the snack machine is in coins, I can throw stuff in there, and it sits there and makes more coin than just selling it to Tommy in the marketplace. It get me more coins, well, after it pays for itself, of course. That's all i care about.

[coinman1952]

There are so many products that end up just being sold that could go into service facitlities that all the redundancies are unnecessary. In fact it would be nice to auto move finished products from facilities to service facilities.

[Vivarant]

Ok so against my better judgement i got the drive thru tool to start production "faster" on my fast food restaurants. I have to say what i don't like about this tool is if you just press Start All you have no way of knowing if all your facilities are producing to capacity.

for instance if i don't have enough sugar then it simply produces whatever it can and doesn't even warn me i don't have enough sugar to truly start all productions. So i still have to go thru each production and make sure it did indeed start all batches.

Because of this i don't think i would get any more of start all tools

[clogger]

I got the Mixer tool and absolutely love it! It is so much quiicker. One click and all products are filled. I plan to get the Belt Dryer as soon as I have the FC. Those tools work with facilities I nornmally have plenty of ingredients.

I didn't buy the restaurant one because I usually do not have enough products to max everything. By doing restaurants myself, I can choose which items to max and which to make a smaller production.

I like the fact that even if I don't want to Start All, knowing I don't have enough ingredients, I can go in and use the All button for the ones I do have enough ingredients. To me this is worth it just as much for that.

If you are using the facility manger you do not have to open the facility just click start all. Now look at pending if it is 100% then you know it started everything if it is not 100% you need to look and see what it didn't start and why. This can be easy depending on what facility and what you are short of ie sandwich shop if it is not 100% chances are I am out of canned tuna, or hotdogs because I rarely run out of the other stuff for that facility.

[lilmoondancer]

i noticed that there is now 3x3 chainsaw and shaker...why not a flower harvester as well?

[JAS0643]

This last release gave us the 3x3 chainsaw, the release before that gave us the 3x3 shaker, I would say the 3x3 flower harvester will be in the next update but that is just a guess.

[Amica]

wont know if its a waste until you buy it.

That's not entirely true... when you're looking at a facility in the store, there's the little question mark in the upper right corner that tells you what it produces or stocks. I think in most cases, you're able to make an informed decision prior to buying.

[katdreams]

So I need the orange spreader to fertilize trees? Well, poot (so to speak)! Wished I'd known that sooner.

You do have to own the green one to buy and use the orange one.

(he means you have own the red one to buy and use the orange one.)


They're a GREAT investment. Those two fertilizers, and the oil refinery, and you're set to play without ever buying any other farm cash.

If you use this tool through the facility manager you CAN see the percentage of how full the facility is. Granted, you do have to go back and figure out where you're short if it's not 100%. It would be much nicer if we did get a pop-up when we're short, much like we get when we click too many times on an individual item. It tells us exactly where we're short. GREAT idea!

I have 3 trailers. I don't think I should have to buy 4 of something that requires farm cash, or pay 40 farm cash for the forklift.

It would be much appreciated!

Hello there jenifoofoo. Could you please place all your suggestions in the suggestions forum.

http://www.slashkey.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2

You are unable to start new threads, you post in the threads that are already there.

If you can not find a thread that 'matches' your idea, post in the 'My idea doesn't have a thread' thread.

Thank you so much! :)

[jenifoofoo]

I have three and cannot even fill up the hot dogs every day. That's just one product. It's really bad for items that can be used in several facilities.

I think that 66 farm cash is enough to get these items in a suitable quantity!:)

I appreciate having enough yeast, but the rest is really needed. :)

They did, you need the ordering station w/ trailer. Then all products show up in about half the time. It's well worth the 40FC. I have 4 trucks and couldn't keep up without it.

[jenifoofoo]

With all the facilities, land is really tight. There are never enough of crops that take longer than a day to grow.

It is really terrible to accidentally plant a whole farm of a three day crop with something you won't even use! (like I just did) :(:o:(:o

It would really be appreciated to have a way to re-do it. I understand it will cost coin, and that is fine.:)

You can always delete the fields then plow the land again and then plant something else.

[jenifoofoo]

Yes, I realize that. Hence the request to be able to re-do crops w/o having to delete the plots.

[clogger]

How about waiting three days, harvest them, and sell them as cash crops.

[jenifoofoo]

Of course that is what I will do.

However, the devs like to hear suggestions, and I am giving one! :-)

[jenifoofoo]

They doubled the yeast w/o having to have the ordering station.

I think that buying 3 premium items should be enough to get products w/o buying a 4th.

[Dweeb]

I also have 3 trailers... but I got the ordering station between #2 and #3.

Having 1 trailer 22fc.
Doubled it's ability with Trailer #2 (22fc, instead of 40fc for the station).
But to double the first 2 trailers, would require two more trailers, 22ea = 44fc. Thus the station made sense.
Then later, added the 3rd trailer. Do I run out? Yes I do.

Is it inconvenient? yes it is? Do I want it changed? No I don't.

Instead of being able to blindly click - Make All. I have to think about what the facility makes, and how much profit I make from it. Then go in, and select which items I wish to start, and how many of them.

It makes the game require thought, rather than just blind clicking.

[jenifoofoo]

What I'm talking about has nothing to do with blind clicking or not. I broke down and bought the ordering station since even people with 5 + the OS weren't getting enough. I could see even if it's doubled like I am asking there will still be a need for more, so I bought the OR, and find it ridiculous that with 3 + the station I STILL run out of sausage packs, which only TWO products to use it for.

106 farm cash and I still can't max out two measly products in one facility. That is not taking into account all the other products that are still lacking.

At some point, the devs need to say 'OK, that is enough money spent to have what we need'.

They saw it with yeast - why not the rest?

Like someone said in another thread, we are more likely to open our wallets if the devs are fair with us.

I'm certainly not purchasing another facility ever that requires farm cash. Why should I, when I have to spend and spend more and more to use it?

Seriously, devs, how many trailers should we have to buy to get these products? Everything else can be sped along by others working them. It isn't right.

[Dweeb]

I suppose the other issue here, is how often we attempt to fill our facilities, and post for others to help us.

I can support a once-a-week fill of most facilities. I try to post them, twice a week - and on the second, I run out.

I see people that post their request daily, and they don't care that each item isn't filled to capacity.

You say you have 3 trucks and the ordering station and don't have enough sausage packs. How often are you filling your facilities? It only takes 480 sausage packs to max out the facilities and with 3 trucks and an ordering station you are getting 720 sausage packs a day. That is 240 more then you need. The facilities are not meant to be run at 100%, 100% of the time that is just crazy.

[jenifoofoo]

First of all, there is no need to keep challenging my ideas.

Second, I have not done the math, I just know that I got the ordering station and I still cannot max out the mere (2) products in the (1) breakfast restaurant.

That is far removed from expecting there to be enough meat, for example, to fill every product in every facility that uses meat.

The bottom line is that several people have said there is not enough with up to five trailers + the ordering station.

The devs saw the need to double the yeast, I am sure they can see it's only fair to double the other ones as well, since unlike other facilities (which this is, even though it's called a tool) other people can't work it and speed production.

Imagine trying to have enough wheat or corn flour w/o people to work it, and the windmills costing fc?

It's the same thing.

And please, if you've nothing positive to offer, don't keep posting to me. Thanks! :-)

[Dweeb]

Two sides of the coin, is positive. It's our game, as it is the next person's.

person A, wants this. Person B, doesn't want this. Person A requests it, Person B has the right to oppose it.

[jenifoofoo]

Really? How is anyone disadvantaged if the devs do evaluate it and decide the trailers should produce more?

What is there to oppose?

It's like this with most ideas. Someone comes along and says how the person making the suggestion is wrong, when it will in no way negatively affect game play for anyone - it's just someone who likes to argue about anything.

There are some things, I see, that people could say 'no I wouldn't like that', but this certainly isn't one of them.

As I said in another thread, on the rare occasion I suggest something, there is always another poster who wants to argue it just for the sake of arguing. And I see it happen to others as well.

[Dweeb]

I don't like things that make the game too easy.

I like a challenge. Games that are too easy, don't keep peoples interest. Games that don't maintain a user-base don't stick around.

So the devs need everyone's input, and have to weigh the pros and cons.

I quit Monty Hall games pretty quick.

If you post your ideas in the feedback section then you should expect others to post their feedback either positive or negative.
If you have an idea and don't want comments then post it in the suggestions section. This way the developers will more likely see it and if others like it then they support it and if they don't then they usually don't say anything about it. The more who support your idea the more likely the developers are to look at it.
Just to add my 2 cents, I have over 23,000 sausage packs in storage and like the others I just cannot see how you are running out. Are you sure it is the sausage and not the eggs that you are short of?

[chocoholics2]

Here's a thought, where does it say "You must be able to fill every facility every time?"
I have never been able to fill them all, sometimes you have to wait a few days, build up stock them fill them. Its like real business - you sell what you have.

Its the strategy I like, do I use flour for hotdog rolls or say, rhubarb pie.
do I use my tomatoes to make ketchup or pizzas.

if we had enough of everything to do everything every time it would be pointless.

Just my 2 pennies worth.

Cheers
David
PS I have 3 trailers also and have more meat, sausages etc etc than I know what to do with.
You do have them on different farms I guess?

[jenifoofoo]

Yes, but in a real business if you buy enough stock, then you have enough stock. :)

[chocoholics2]

Yes, but in a real business if you buy enough stock, then you have enough stock. :)

Hi Jenifoofoo,
I have just been reading back the thread and most of the "comments" have been trying to understand how you can be running out of sausage packs when with your equipment you should be swimming in them.

So if you have a technical issue then please quantify it? :):):)

[StoneFace]

I have 4 semi trucks at each account.... at one, I am fine, with product to spare, but at the other I run low on chicken all the time


just depends on the facilities chosen.... and having the two sets a little different makes it "double the pleasure double the fun."


:eek:

[jenifoofoo]

I am obviously not alone as I saw other people say they have 5 trailers + the OS and still don't have enough.

The sausage packs is just an example. The point is I have spent enough real life money to get enough product, imo.

I will do some checking and see if there is some sort of glitch with the sp on my farm.

[thonotosassa]

How about waiting three days, harvest them, and sell them as cash crops.

I accidentally planted a 4 day crop and noticed it right off. I was in dire need of another crop so I had to delete it one by one, plow and replant. Could not wait four days.

[thonotosassa]

I have six trailers and have to sell some of the stuff at the market.

[jenifoofoo]

I basically have 6 now, which was not right that I had to pay that much (106 fc).

Had I known it would be like this, I would have stopped with two and chosen not to get more facilities that needed a product that I can't get enough of even with RL money.

[max_river]

wow i must be doing something right i have never ran out of them. now hot dogs another story but i just fill every couple of days and i have 3 and os. also people have not been rude they are just making sugestion and comments.

[Hornyroo]

I found a solution that worked well for me. i stopped running my facilities for a month, i only ran facilities with products i consider staples - sugar flour oils etc, and the trucks/ordering stuff, i ran these non stop, i aquired quite a stockpile of ingredients, now when i run my facilities, these stockpile is more than sufficient to deal with any load, and im always replenishing the stockpiles even when im not running all facs at max..

[Bonnie Jo]

I accidentally planted a 4 day crop and noticed it right off. I was in dire need of another crop so I had to delete it one by one, plow and replant. Could not wait four days.
I have done that. :(

My question is ... does the FC Bulldozer do it? It seems to me that I have read it doesn't and that is why I never bought one but it has been a while so I don't remember for sure.

[Taz D]

I have done that. :(

No it doesn't. None of the bulldozers will do more than 1 plot at a time if the fields are planted.

[jenifoofoo]

I have spent almost $20 RL dollars (106 farm cash). That should be sufficient for one tool to work effectively.

I cannot get enough hot dogs to fill two measly products in one facility.

I am out completely after filling the supreme hot dogs - I can't even make regular ones.

That is insane, and poor business to charge so much for such little return.

I shall not be purchasing a single other item if this is how farmtown customers are treated.

[jenifoofoo]

you must not fill them everyday. if you did, the stockpile would get eaten and you'd be right back to not even being able to fill the measly 2 products that use hot dog sausages.

If that's fine with you, good. It is not fine with me after they money I laid out.

With effectively (6) trailers, costing almost $20 real life money, I should be able to fill everything everyday.

[jenifoofoo]

who said the game irks me? Why do people keep reading more into what people say just to be argumentative?

With three trailers + the ordering station, I should be able to fill two products in one facility - the hot dogs and supreme hot dogs. But I cannot. I can fill the supreme one time and there is not any left over for even one regular hot dog.


Did y'all act this way when several people were asking for more yeast?

The devs agreed and gave more yeast. Maybe they will agree with this. Maybe they won't, but I don't see how my asking is bothersome to anyone.

I have a right to ask for a fair return on my money.

[Tony D]

Hi All, I have deleted a few posts from this thread. Please note that posts that turn into personal debates or becoming argumentative or insulting will be removed.

Please try and keep responses friendly ..


Thanks, Tony

I have just purchased another pig sty, but it won't load the pigs. One pig sty is NOT producing enough fertilizer for 10 farms. Can you still get manure if they pigs not kept in the pig sty?

[Tony D]

I have just purchased another pig sty, but it won't load the pigs. One pig sty is NOT producing enough fertilizer for 10 farms. Can you still get manure if they pigs not kept in the pig sty?Hi yes it will, did you put the sty on a different farm ?

[Lonestarlady]

Yes, I did move it to another farm.

[Lonestarlady]

Got them in!! TYVM for your reply!!

[1fritz]

I have just purchased another pig sty, but it won't load the pigs. One pig sty is NOT producing enough fertilizer for 10 farms. Can you still get manure if they pigs not kept in the pig sty?

Wow...I have one pig sty with 100 pigs...10 farms....and I'm swimming in pig poop.

[artisanrox]

Wow...I have one pig sty with 100 pigs...10 farms....and I'm swimming in pig poop.

I have 7 farms to fertilize, and I got an extra sty and 50 more pigs as sort of a "buffer". That way, i can miss picking up mah poop occassionally and I am not lacking any fertilizer.

[jenifoofoo]

so that everyone can see it w/o having to hunt through every thread about the new watering system, please and thank you.

and please make it like the spreader. It's too crazy otherwise. You plant a short crop and can't water the next one you plant under this system.

Plus we need trees faster too - there are so many there is not enough room to plant enough - exact same prob you solved about the crops - pls don't leave trees out!

In every way it makes more sense to make it work just like the spreader.

It costs $20 RL dollars to get the two tools to do this, remember :-)

TIA!:)

[jan tanner]

that will probably come with the next update for more fc

[jenifoofoo]

It didn't with the spreader - they just updated it to include trees! :-)

[tgray]

It didn't with the spreader - they just updated it to include trees! :-)
That's not correct. We have the red manure spreader that fertilizes crops. Then they came out with the orange manure spreader that includes trees, logs and flowers.

[JAS0643]

That's not correct. We have the red manure spreader that fertilizes crops. Then they came out with the orange manure spreader that includes trees, logs and flowers.

She probably meant flowers and not trees. When the orange spreader came out it did not fertilize flowers they added that to the orange spreader a few updates later, at no extra cost to us.

[jenifoofoo]

you're both right. I was probably thinking about the flowers and forgot the trees were not a free upgrade.

Anyway, can this simple question be answered about this new tool?

It's been way more than a day any way you calculate it and it's not watering.

[Dweeb]

From experience:

You can irrigate again, 24 hours from the last time you irrigated your farm. You can attempt to do so, as many times as you like, it won't reset your clock-counter.

Once you hit, (or pass), the 24 hours, then the next time you attempt - it works.

It would be nice to have a timer on the farm somewhere, same as fertilize -- but until it does, pen & paper.

Anyway, we could at least be told how the tool works. This one aspect has yet to be explained anywhere I can see.

Isn't this part of the fun of the game? Figuring out how stuff works? I've been playing a while, long before there was a game guide worth anything. But if you haven't found it by now: read it here (http://www.slashkey.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=162).

[jenifoofoo]

No, it's not 'fun' to spend $20 on a tool and guess how it works - lmao.

The game guide does not describe what a 'day' means to the red irrigater.

[jenifoofoo]

I don't like the way it works at all. I just spent 30 minutes watering 7 farms, with the loading time and whatnot.

Plus, we plant crops at all different times and watering uniformly doesn't work with that, and there is no way to ever get full use of it.

It was not worth $100 fc like this. It needs to work like the spreader and also it needs to work on trees.

That is my last purchase from this game. I'm tired of getting hosed.

[katrina719]

It only works once per planted crop. Not once per day. Every time you plant another crop, you have to irrigate again.

Experience? crops mature too soon, and most of the ones i worked on, died too soon.

Advice? never spend real cash for a tool unless you understand its usage :) :)

It is also limited to once per 24 hour day.

:)

That changed already - each time a crop is planted, it can be watered, even if crops have already been watered on the farm that day?

Advice? never spend real cash for a tool unless you understand its usage :)

True, but sometimes until you but it into application you do not really know some aspects of it.

[JAS0643]

I feel quite disappointed in the new sprinkler, I've just planted Coffee (3 day crop) and being told it will mature in 2.4 days, I thought this new tool would make the crop mature in half the time or have I read it wrong?...... 2.4 days doesn't sound right to me.


Did you water the farm after you planted the coffee? Was is at least 24 hours after you watered the farm the time before that? If the answer is no to either one of those that is why. You have to water the farm after you plant the crop and you can only speed up one crop in a 24 hour time frame.

[Chihuahualady]

Thank you Jas, your explanation is well documented... I wish though that this had been clearer when I purchased the tool, as I don't think I would have bothered with it.

[Jan Edwards]

Putting in my two cents regarding the new 'red' watering system: It has quite a few problems, which you are probably very aware of. I would like to know that this problem is being worked on? TY

[clogger]

For FT crops, a day is 20 hrs. Is the once per day irrigation and once a day watering also 20 hrs?

[Taz D]

For FT crops, a day is 20 hrs. Is the once per day irrigation and once a day watering also 20 hrs?
It is now. Raul posted an update on the release announcement a couple hours ago.

[Bonnie Jo]

I tried the red sprinkler this morning on my farm 10 for beets and it worked great. I didn't know you could only use it once a day per farm, but that understandable and ok. So, then I figured I'd try it again on a different farm and planted potatoes on Farm 6. I keep getting the message that farms can only be watered once a day.....hmmm. Does that mean you can only use the red sprinkler once a day period? Please help...Once a day per farm would be acceptable, but once a day between all 11 farms? That would suck.
Please clarify.....
p.s.
Love the Upgrades overall!!!
It is once a day per farm.

[JAS0643]

I really want it to work like the spreader and water the farm.

I'm not super-concerned that I can't turn over crop after crop multiple times daily - in fact, I would rarely have time for that.

My concern is that it isn't consistent with any method of planting/harvesting.

I'd really like it to fertilize the FARM, and I also dislike the once a day thing. Again, it doesn't flow with the crop rotations.

I have to keep going from farm to farm, with lots of loading time in between, to water. And I have to catch lots of crops partially grown and makes it impossible to keep up with what is done where.

Finally, I would like it to show the (w) when we hover over the diamond like it shows the (f).

:)


The time between watering has been changed to 20 hours so unless you are planting one day or less crops the watering should work with your planting time. Also you can water a farm after you plant it before you move on to the next farm to plant.

I finally have my tracking down and also have changed how I plant long term crops so the red sprinkler is more useful in that sense. The 20 hour time frame change also helped. I don't like that they made me change the way I plant my farms but I can also live with it.

What I really don't like is the fact that I spent 45 FC for the brown sprinkler. I bought it a few months ago to not only water my neighbors' flowers, but also mine. Now it no longer does anything. I spent another 50 FC for the red sprinkler and the combined action of them is not useful at all for me on how I do my farms.

I don't think anything will change though. They are convinced we don't need the brown sprinkler since they expanded the waste time. I stand by my opinion that there are times I want to water my flowers without having to worry about if it is going to speed up the crops I have already planted but didn't irrigate for some reason or another. If I "inadvertently" water my flowers on that non-irrigated field I am not going to be able to irrigate that field again for another 20 hours even if (for example) the field is ready to harvest in an hour.

Just a little FYI if you had not already bought the brown sprinkler when the red one came out you would have had to buy it before you could buy the red sprinkler. So while it may not really be needed anymore it is still required to have before you can buy the red sprinkler.

[Shaldimar]

I don't own either of the sprinklers and reading about all the troubles I am sure I don't want them at all. But somehow along with the changes for the sprinklers, came a slight mishap with the watering can itself. Perhaps they are connected? When I water flowers with the can, some suddenly look half grown instead of mature and all say "ready in one minute" whether they are or not. I wish they had left the water system alone.

I love the concept, I just hope they will work out the bugs! :)

[Shaldimar]

Reading all of the troubles and issues with the sprinklers brings up a question I'd like answered if anyone can do so. I have never bought either sprinkler, but now I find I could use the benefits of the brown one. I certainly do not want the red one for sure, so if I purchase the brown one and NOT the red one, will the brown work and water flowers only as it was originally designed to do? Or is it now just plain useless regardless?
Thanks.

[*Country Girl]

I knew it did not quicken harvest time but also found out that if someone else waters your farms then you will not be able to use the red sprinkler to irrigate the farms they watered until the time period is up. I do hope this is a glitch and they are working on fixing this soon. I wrote to all my neighbors asking them to please not water my farms since I want to irrigate them when i plant.
Also I wish the farm was irrigated (like when you fertlize) and not just the crop.

[dorissau]

If we cannot use our brown sprinkler any more.. then I think you should refund the CASH we spent to buy it. This is beyond ridiculous that we cannot just water our flowers and not accelerate them or make it impossible to later water a crop. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED... or just give me back my MONEY. I keep posting this complaint !
!!!

[JAS0643]

I believe if someone else waters for you it does NOT quicken the harvest time. Would be a shame it your 4 day crop goes to waste whilst you are away. It also makes a mockery of the belt system. I worked for the belts, waiting days for it to happen.

Only you can speed up the growth of your crops but they will not go to waste quicker then if you didn't speed up the growth. Lets say you plant a 4 day crop and don't water it it will go to waste in 8 ft days. That is 4 growing days and then 4 days to harvest the crop. Now if you speed up the growth right after you plant the crop then it the crop will still go to waste in 8 ft days. The only difference is the 4 day crop will be ready to harvest in 2 ft days instead of 4.

I knew it did not quicken harvest time but also found out that if someone else waters your farms then you will not be able to use the red sprinkler to irrigate the farms they watered until the time period is up.

That is not completely true. The way it is supposed to work is if someone waters your farm you can still water your farm to speed up growth right after them, this does work as long as you have crops on the farm. The glitch in this seems to be the people that only have flowers on the farm and no crops it will not let them water the farm after someone else waters for them. They have to plant something for the red sprinkler to work. Once something is planted it will speed up the growth of the crops and flowers. Hopefully that will be fixed soon because some people like myself have a flower only farm.

[Angel70]

When a neighbour or a friend waters your flowers, you can still use the red sprinkler to speed up the growth of your crops.

I do agree that we should be able to use the brown sprinkler only to water our flowers without speeding up the crop growth.

[Simera]

NB: I don't harvest my flowers, I only have them as decorations. And it's really not anything near some Decoration, when they're showing just a lot of "black spots",. Now I have to go back to "the Good Old Days" when I had to hide my flowers, because i didn't have time to water them with the Watering Can!!

I'm guessing it was an oversight on the part of the devs to disable our brown sprinklers on our own farms. I'm sure they will fix the problem. They probably also didn't think that we would all be NOT HAPPY to have a tool taken that we were made to pay farm cash with.

Raul usually know what we are all whinging about, so I'm sure he'll fix it .... but I know that for some NOW would be good.

In the meantime - while we await the return of our beloved brown sprinkler - this game was always about networking and helping each other - ask your neighbours to water your flowers - water theirs - you get paid for watering someone else's flowers and it costs you to do it on your own farm. And yes I understand that if they have 11 Farms all with flowers it may take a few minutes - but if you are hired to work for them - why not on each farm - just turn on the flowers briefly - water and move to the next.

Raul & the Team have listened to us before and I know that they will be working on this issue as we speak - let's give them a little time to get it right.

I love the sprinkler but I paid 50 farmcash for this and after a farm is ready and harvested and plant a new one it should help out for the new planted farm now i have to wait 9 hours before I can use it again.And that was lot of farmcash to spend on that.

I just found this thread, and i went in and read exactly what the developer said the sprinkler would do before i bought it...now i can not irragate my farm for 18 hours, in my mind this is a rip off, and very misleading ...i think because it was not included in what the sprinkler will do, i should be able to get a refund on this 50 farm cash for nothing!!!! But then again, my mom wrote the support at farm town about a farmtown cash gift she never received last week, and they have said nothing....this is the last money i will use on this rip off sight....i will also contact my credit card holder and let them know i feel i have been a victim of fraud, as well as my mother, and another friend that the same thing happened to.....

If you read the entire thing on the Red Sprinkler then you would know that it only works once per FT day (20 hours).
Also on your mom's gift card it is not your mom who needs to contact them but the individual who sent it to her that needs to contact them. Also the response time can be up to a couple weeks depending on how many tickets they have gotten.

If you read my quote correctly i never said a gift card.

If you read my quote correctly i never said a gift card.
I did read it correctly and what you said was:
"my mom wrote the support at farm town about a farmtown cash gift"
This is called in the game a FarmCash Gift Card. Name difference aside, it is still the person who sent it that needs to contact support.

These sprinklers were the last dimes slashkey will see from me as well.

When you get too greedy, people get fed up and quit giving you money!

[Lambo]

I bought the red sprinkler and love it, however, my old flower sprinkler disappeared from my toolbox and I miss it. There are times when I just want to water the flowers and not speed up the crops. I can't do that without the brown sprinkler. I don't even have the watering can anymore. I wrote SK but as yet, haven't had a reply. Has anyone else had this problem?

I want my brown sprinkler back too.

[JAS0643]

I would like to point out something to the people that want the brown sorinkler back. The devs developed the red sprinkler with a way to use it in mind and making the brown sprinkler no longer needed, they failed to see the point of view some if you have about the brown sprinkler. I am sure now that they have had this feedback they will change things so people can use the brown sprinkler if they want too. Now the problem is that means rewriting a lot of code for the game. That is not something they can do overnight. If I am right and they will give you the brown sprinkler back it would be nice of them to say "okay we hear you and will give you the brown sorinkler back it will just take some time to separate the two sprinklers". The thing is communications is not the devs strong suit. Give them a chance to fix things.

[barbara nixon]

i just want to say...as far as refunds..i have had no prob.i bought 2 of one thing and contacted sk and received my fc the next day.they are not ripping us off and u have to go through the right channels..

[pythonis]

simple. since you can only water (irrigate) once per day, only irrigate crops that normally take 2 days or more.

[jenifoofoo]

As we've paid real money to buy the Brown Sprinkler, it shouldn't have been taken away from our tool-box, in any case. I also paid real money to buy the Red Sprinkler, but didn't know that it would stop me from water my flowers separately.
We have A LOT of Tools in Tool-box that we *had* to buy to get the Top-Tool, but we never use them, f course, because of the newer ones is the effective ones. So just *why* remove our Brown Sprinkler that we actually bought?

Please give us back the Tool we paid real money for, Dev's. We need them both.

Regards
Simera

yeah, the only one we actually need to keep we can't. WTF?

[jenifoofoo]

Simple. It should not be that way since we PAID for it! We should get full use!

[jenifoofoo]

Put it back in the tool box. You can't sell something and then take it away.

They can..however..the brown one is in your storage,and can be used if youput it on the farm you want to use it on..until they either make both work from storage,this is a perfectly fine work around

[tnbskts]

People have been reporting that when they do that, it turns into the red sprinkler, which doesn't help.

[Taz D]

People have tried that and it still works the same way the red one does. What they are wanting is to be able to use the brown one just to water the flowers without decreasing the growing time and use the red one if they want to decrease the time for flowers and crops.

[jenifoofoo]

That agreement does not state they can take away items that we purchase.

The brown sprinkler was taken away.

Yes, the brown sprinkler is in my storage. However, when I go to use it, IT TURNS INTO THE RED SPRINKLER. I do not want to speed up growth on my flowers...just want to water them. I want my brown sprinkler back with the properties of the brown sprinkler...nothing else.

[Chris Frost]

I quickly read through the posts in this thread. It seems like a lot of people here agree. We like the idea of the red sprinkler to halve growing times, but limiting its use to once a day is bad planning on the part of the FT Developers.

If I plant anything with a 1 day or less growing time, then sprinkle, I can't use the sprinkler again for the next crop until the next FT day. That sucks!! The manure spreader isn't limited in this way. So why the restriction with the sprinkler?

Come on FT Developers. You can see the sense in the argument... Either make it so the sprinkler can be used after each successive new crop regardless of the time elapsed, or give us half our money back please.

[earlgray]

i noticed that there is now 3x3 chainsaw and shaker...why not a flower harvester as well?

I was hoping for one of these also.

[jenifoofoo]

It is total ********, huh?

Yes, it turns red here too. But I'm able to water the crops AFTER having watered my flowers by clicking the Brown, that turns red after clicking on the Brown on my farm 6. WOW!!
What a complicated thingy it went out to be!! :) Well, seriously, when I water the flowers only, (with the Brown that turns Red) it doesn't half my crops harvest-time. . . for now. Will try again when flowers need watering. Sorry if I mis-lead somebody.

[storm36]

Here's a news flash for everyone .. this is a work around .. if you want to use the brown sprinkler .. open up your storage box and look under the items tab .. then look in either all or tools and the brown sprinkler is located there .. move it to the farm where you have flowers .. add it back to storage if you need to use it on more then 1 farm. when you need to use it, move it to your farm then just click on it to water your flowers only.

Disregard the above .. it no longer works using it this way even tried placing the red sprinkler on a non flower farm and then moving the brown one to a farm with flowers but when i clicked on irrigate, the brown one stayed on the farm and the red one appeared, attached to my curser even tho it was on a different farm

Just tried it and it is not working. I took it out of my storage and placed it on farm 1 and when I selected 'irrigate' it turned into the red sprinkler irrigating both flowers and crops.

OK, sorry about that, it worked the other day that way for me and it didn't change to the red sprinkler either .... wonder if it didn't change because i had already used the red sprinkler on my farm the day before to water my 4 day crop and flowers?

i love that it cuts the growth time of long crops in half but hate that you cant just use it to water the flowers, wish it worked on fruit trees too

[criminalist]

[..., YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY OWNERSHIP RIGHS IN THE SUBSCRIPTIONS,

However, do we have ownership rights?

[criminalist]

I would like to see it because I cannot hire anyone to harvest my flowers! The flowers are all lined up and would be an easy harvest. I hire someone only to go back and find all the crops harvested, but not one of the flowers. I have even hired people who claim to want to harvest flowers. I have even hired people with only flowers to harvest and they hirees still do not harvest the flowers. Instead of buying the harvester, I was stupid enough to buy the sprinkler.

You know what, Farm Town Developers, with that attitude, many of us will probably keep our farms only so our neighbours will have neighbours and be able to receive gifts from us. Then, we will just stop playing the game. I have years invested, FC invested, coins invested, but I do not like snotty attitudes such as yours. Are you friends with Zynga or something?

That is a standard Terms of Service and no different from anything else you use on your computer.

[JAS0643]

So if you don't need the brown sprinkler anymore, why should you have to buy it to get the red sprinkler? Just a dumb idea, but that makes sense to me, just because other people had bought it before doesn't mean if we want the red sprinkler now and didn't have it that we should have to buy both just for one to disappear right after you buy it.

Here's another stupid question, I used the red sprinkler on crops that said they had 1 day left, not 1.2 or whatever 1 day and then it said it had 12 hours left, what happened to the 20 hour days, that doesn't make sense. If I knew it was going to do that I wouldn't have used it on it because now it will have been a waste of my time.

The time left for growing in crops is based on a 24 hour day not the 20 ft day. So watering them and they changing to 12 hours is right.

Thank you, was just curious. Also, if you can only water a farm once per day, I understand that, but why once the 20 hours is up can you not water it again if it's the same crop, say 3 or 4 day crop? That doesn't make sense, then why does it say you can water once per day, but it doesn't say you can only water the crop once in the time period, unless I'm missing it somewhere, which it probably does.

You missed that. It said that you can only speed up the time once per crop. You can't speed it up again.

[bluehair]

has this been increased...I planted some grapes (4 hour) and when they were ready to harvest it said they will go to waste in 5.1 hours? didnt it used to be that crops went to waste the same amount of time they take to grow?

[driverdave]

i have over the last 5 hrs run a test on the time to waste clock and it is indeed accurate my methodology was as follow

plowed a single field on a non irrigated farm
planted 1 single plot of raspberry
it took 120 minutes (2hrs) to ripen
when it was ripe the time to waste started at 2.7 hrs(162 minutes)
i monitored it over the next 162 minutes (2.7 hrs)
there was no change in appearance untill the time to waste timer ran out
the field was unharvestable by any means
(and i have all the harvesters and the combine)

this was a true test carried out in a methodical fashion and the findings speak for themselves

1 . the time to waste timer is accurate
2. at least for raspberry there is no appearance change until the time to waste has run out
3. when it was showing wilted wasted plot it was not harvestable

[warriormother]

Can anyone help me? I own the 5by5 plower and the 5by5 harvester,but although I am at the right level the game will not allow me to purchse the combine harvester/plower..I have enough Farm Town cash,have the required tools and the required level but it is locked to purchase,but it will let me SEND it. Also I can not use the 5 by five tools on anyone else's farm.I might be missing something? Any advice would be appreciated!!

Guess I should have looked in here first Dave. I got up and planted a field of raspberries with the intent of letting them go to waste and see if the time was or if they wastes sooner. Guess I'll just harvest them and add them tomy other 29,000 raspberries...:D
I just wonder if the time has been this way all a long and the developers just told us the time was equal to the ready time.

[janisko]

I'm finding all of the times to be accurate, both with and without the irrigator. Just remember these are 20 hour days, not 24 hours.

It appears the "waste" time has not changed, only the harvest time, when irrigated.

ah well mate....i am doing an irrigated plot experiment too seems theres some contention about the time to waste on irrigated crops so i am in th eprocess now of doing that .......have a read of new release from about page 80 or so lol

[driverdave]

Ok Experiment 2
this is to test the crop appearance and waste timer accuracy on an IRRIGATED crop
plowed a fresh single plot on farm 11 planted raspberry on it and irrigated it
my local time now 3.55pm rasp showing 59 mins to ready
my local tme now 4.55pm rasp ripe and showing 3.7 hrs (222 mins) to waste
my local time now 5.13pm rasp still showing ripe and timer showing 3.4 hrs (204 mins) to waste time accurate in terms of displayed time to waste vs actual minutes at this point
ok its 6.37 pm and the rasp stilll lookin good showing 2 hrs to wasted so far timer accurate vs actual time
now down to .9 of an hr (54 minutes) raspberry plot still looking healthy timer still accurate

OK WE HAVE A PROBLEM ....AT 33 MINUTES TO WASTED IT IS SHOWING AS WILTED
looks like we have proven there is a problem
mods pls pass to devs

Let's hope now that you are saying there's a problem with the irrigated crops' time-to-waste, the developers will actually listen. Clearly, my own reports have been ignored. Let me add (though until Dave proves it, no one will believe it)... once you start using the red sprinkler, all of your crops (irrigated or not) will have problematic time-to-waste clocks. This might be connected to having irrigated flowers underneath non-irrigated crops.

i was happy to confirm the problem Caren.... if a problem can be replicated it means that theres more data for the devs to work with and i tried to pinpoint the timeframe where the crop goes from good to wilted as it may assist in narrowing down where the problem is manifesting itself .. and as proven yesterday the non irrigated crops time to waste is accurate... .for my own part i rarely have crops that get anywhere near wasting (this might be because i have so much time on my hands being profoundly deaf and bascially unemployable ) anyways i will look into the next part of it and see what i can find out ......but i imagine by then the devs will have run the problem to earth and sorted it

[Badlands Farmer]

Can we please, please, PLEASE have our brown sprinklers back? I am so tired of looking at dead flowers most of the time because my work schedule doesn't always work well with accelerated planting. Sometimes it does, but in those times it doesn't, I would like to see beautiful flowers instead of dead ones.

Regards
Simera

I assume that is correct because if a well-meaning neighbor waters my flowers I cannot irrigate my crops for 20 hours.

They need to bring back the brown sprinkler and have it work independently of the red sprinkler.

As a temporary fix they should immediately stop allowing neighbors to water flowers. It's really messed me up a couple of times now.

[Grumpa]

I LOVE the irrigator, but I want my mobile waterer as well. There are some farms that I don't want to irrigate but I DO want to water the flowers. I'm tired of going onto those farms and looking at dead flowers because I can no longer water my own farms without speeding up production of trees. (I have my farms all nicely calibrated so all 2-day trees are ready one day, 3-day trees the next, and so on. If I irrigate the farms that have decorative flowers as well - around the homestead area - then it will spoil my production plans.)

only crops and flowers speed up, not trees.

[dianedrayson]

Thank you, thank you Grumpa!

I was away when this came out and I've only read the release notes once instead of my usual three times. Oops!

Now can you solve how I can water my flower farm without changing the growing time? I don't need any more flowers! I planted enough for my needs.

You cannot do that at this time but you can just wait to harvest flowers until you harvest your 4 day trees.

I have 9 of the helper machines. Love them, but can I store them and they work?:)

[Mrs Grump]

Does anyone know how to use the new purple tractor. I bought it and cant see what its used for. Everything still works exactly the same.

I am guessing you mean the purple forklift. Put it in storage. It works like the other forklift. The difference is the at the top of the facility manager is a new Store All button. When you have the new purple forklift and you click on this button you will store all production completed in all the facilities with just this one click.

[clogger]

I assumed they HAD to be stored to work, just like the harvester, plows, forklift.

Can they be placed on one farm, and still work with facilities on other farms?

The start all tools can be on a farm or in storage and still work on all farms.

[clogger]

Thanks for the fast reply Jas. How nice! That will free up some item storage space.

Which forklifts do you have?

[knolan]

I have the green forklift, & I'm not able to purchase the purple one, it says its locked. I did have the green forklift on my farm 10, & it was locked, I moved it to my storage, & the purple forklift is still locked. Why can't I purchase this item?

Try refreshing your farm. Sometimes those changes don't get saved until you leave.

[knolan]

Thank U!! It worked. Have a good one.

Put the green one in storage, then refresh your farm. Then look and see if you can buy the purple one.

I still think that Gifted Trees, need to be included on the Your Belts "tool".

If I've just gotten a postable degree, I'd like a place to check so I don't get another postable degree (belt) within the same day.

The gift trees are listed in the Belt Tool.

[leslie48]

Does the purple fork lift 'store all' option also include the wool sheds, coops etc, or is it just for the facilities?

[Dad Shadow]

NO.. you have to 'harvest' them. They are not a stored item you can store.

[leslie48]

Too Bad! :( Thank you!

[Ms Lulu]

I have both forklifts in storage and neither one works. They don't show up in my manager. I have restarted Farm Town and reloaded Facebook. I have put them on a farm and they don't work on the farm either. Help please.

By both forklifts do you mean the green and purple forklifts or the orange and green ones? Forklift is like the loader, converyor belt etc, and do not show in the extended toolbox. You will not see them at all.
The way the work is through the Facility manager. If you have the green forklift then on each facility listed in the manager will be a Store All button which will store all of the products completed in that individual facility when you click on it. If you have both the green and purple ones, then you will see and be able to use the Store All button at the top of the facility manager. This will store all of the completed production in all of the facilities at once when you click that button.

In my opinion you are better off keeping the tools.

I have to correct myself on this one, now. Even if I have put the Brown sprinkler on farm 6, to water only flowers, I'm NOT able to just irrigate the flowers only.

Regards
Simera

To water flowers ONLY, I have found this can only be done (once you buy the red sprinkler), using the blue watering can in the facility manager. Trying to use either red or brown sprinkler irrigates the whole farm not just flowers but when i used the watering can, it only watered my flowers, there was no W afterwards and my red sprinkler didnt show that my farm was irrigated :)

[Nukeglow]

Who has REMOVED PRODUCT NAME. Does it work well??? REMOVED LINK

[amberdh]

Who has EFarm tool ($9.99). Does it work well??? REMOVED LINK

Hi there Nukeglow :)

Sorry, I removed the link because all outside links need to be ok'd first before putting out in the forum.

Also, you won't be able to find that information concerning that tool here because it is not an official slashkey product.

Sorry again. Thanks.

Does the red sprinkler cut the harvest time in half for only the field crops? Or does it reduce time for trees and flowers too?

It works on crops and flowers, but not trees.

[C Downy]

I'm thinking about getting the harvester/plow/seeder. I'm curious to know a few things about it. 1. Does it use 2 gas units per plot (one for harvest and one for sowing)? 2. I assume you do NOT get the coin bonus for the crop when using it (you get a bonus for hiring somebody else to harvest as opposed to doing it yourself.) Is that correct?

Is that correct?Hi, yes it does use to fuel per plot. Not sure what you mean with the second question. If you harvest yourself you do not get a coin bonus, but if you use the combine on other peoples farms you get the coin bonus.

That is a very interesting question and one I had never considered and would like to know the answer to now. I had assumed we received these belt bonuses when the crops were harvested, irrespective of who harvested them. You are asking if the bonus is only received if SOMEONE ELSE harvests for us. This would happen no matter what tool is used, but it would certainly put me off paying the extra for the three in one if the bonus were NOT received. I think the next person to receive a belt bonus notification could perhaps read it carefully and let us know what it says - whether it refers to the next time a crop is harvested or the next time someone does it for us.

I know there have been times I've checked my totals before and after harvesting and felt I didn't not get the belt bonuses I should have. Perhaps this is the answer.

[dianedrayson]

There's nothing like trying to answer your own post!

I've just been looking back at the release notes for the belt bonus and found the following:

For example, when you reach the Black Belt for Wheat, from that point on when you harvest wheat there will be a 36% chance of getting an extra box of Wheat.

I think, then, that it doesn't matter who harvests (you or a stranger) and you still get the bonus. (An official answer to confirm this would be good, just in case this is an example of sloppy writing.)

The belt to the best of my knowledge is recieved regardless or what tool is used or who harvests it.

you will only recieve the bonuses if a neighbour clicks on your post but you will recieve the extra % every time you harvest as you move up in belt/dan levels.

hope i have helped :)

I have just harvested my own pineapples and checked quantities before and after. I definitely received a large bonus this time. It therefore makes no difference who harvests, so the original person who queried can buy the purple forklift without fears.

the purple forklift has no bearing on the dans the purple forklifts only purpose is to store all facilities finished products at once.

Oops, you're right. My mind was elsewhere, on the frustration of the slowness of my computer today!!!! I meant the harvester/plougher/seeder.

The bonus C Downy was talking about was the difference you get in sell price by hiring someone to harvest for you. If you harvest for your self you get the regular sell price for crops but if you hire someone you get the large sell price for crops. If you are putting those crops into facilities it does not matter if you harvest them or someone else harvest them it will not change what the product sells for.

I've recently bought this with real money, as I increased my number of facilities and they needed meat,chicken,ham etc. I would like to add a couple more, but the truck is soooooo slow in delivering I still have to rely on gifts from neighbours to boost my facilities. Maybe it's 'cos I live in the UK and we have a smaller road system than other countries, trucks seem to get to places faster ( apart from in the snowy weather).

Devs, you do a fabulous job with the game, but please,please,please, can you get the truck to deliver more produce ?

Thank you !

Hi there is a item in the store under the tools called the "ordering station with trailer"

this will double the production of the semi trailer truck.

you only need 1 and it will work on all trucks.

you can add it to storage or have it sit behind one of your semi trailer trucks to make it look like a double :)

[peekachoo]

Wow, thanks for pointing that out Al, I hadn't seen it. I shall have to wait until I've saved some cash up to get it though !

[clogger]

It is less real money to buy a second semi, which will also double production.

[peekachoo]

Clogger, that's an excellent idea, thanks for that ;)
