Still not clear on how the train boost works. I sent an invite to a few neighbors and haven't got any response and don't see status where the notifications of them working facilities are. How are the invites presented, how long are they good for, do they expire, are they posted on wall or show up in our gift request, are they only good if we are online, how would I know if I got one from a neighbor? Questions, Questions, I have questions...

They show up in with the gifts, but have to be done from the My Requests tab and not through the App Center. Seems they don't work through the App Center. When someone clicks on one you sent then they will get products and you will see "Name accelerated your train" in the Activity Log under your farm.
The only way you will know you got a Boost request from a neighbor is to check your gifts in the My Requests tab. You will see a train engine as the picture of the item.

Taz, I don't have the working trains, but I got two request from my neighbors on my request page, I clicked to help them, It said I go x amount of products, does my end go in the gift box or my storage. I checked my give box after but not there, and no way to tell if it goes to my storage. Thanks for any help.

The items that you get from working others trains should go into your storage, but unlike factories, with the trains you only get like 1 or 2 percent of what the train is carrying.

There seems to be an error with the Boost of trains this morning, I clicked on several, all of which said expired - I've only been away 12 hours and thought oh I missed out on those as they have had enough clicks - however, a neighbour has just sent me a fresh request for hers - just dispatched the train a few minutes ago - and it said the request had expired.

Any thoughts?

Just my thought - are you using the "My Requests" tab on the game screen or are you going through FB? It doesnt work through Facebook for some reason.

OK i want to retract my comment earlier about a great fix. Well I cannot work fac at all but only clients. I just tried to work a neighbours fac that i ahd not worked for 24hrs and that mayor said opps you have already worked them. Now this problem has only happened since i dispatched my train this morning and also sent out requests for others to help. SO PLEASE GET THIS BUG FIXED. ty not a happy farmer at the moment

I have helped heaps of people with their train boost requests but now cannot work their facilities, some of these I haven't worked for months or ever, but since the boost the Mayor says Oops to me too, it is a glitch I hardly work facs but had time on my hands for a change.

:confused:
Ok , I 'missed' when the train boost first started , I was reading about the new release here on the forum yesterday , saw where it had started , went straight to my farm ,, found I had forgotten to dispatch it out last time I unloaded (I like to leave FT, clean my cache and then come back in to dispatch)....

I sent it out and then sent out the boost requests.

I just checked my train status and it says > x goods and 6 more days ... I can see where 10 neighbors 'boosted' my train .... a normal dispatch is 7 days
:o
If 10 neighbors helped , shouldn't it be less days ?? What am I missing , I figured with 10 helpers it would be at somewhere around 3 to 2 days due ..


OK , never mind ,, lol I went to the 1st page to read the updates and saw the 2 hour increments information .. nothing like reading the instructions duh !

I appreciate all the hard work the developers do ,, my only 'sugestion' is to move the people off the gift list to the store ,, no need to have them in a seperate area imo ..

ok have worked it out the problem with the boosting and fac help.
If you help anyone with their boosting of their train you cannot help them with their fac but you can only help with the clients. i have tried a few different ones and came to this conclusion. the ones i helped boost their train at 6am on fri (and it is now 12:17am sat) i CANNOT help them with their fac. but the people i did not help i can work. also i had a couple of requests for boosting that had been expired as they had their quota i cannot help them either. so does this mean i cannot help my good neighbours with their fac until their train comes in in 5 or 6 days and this seems the case and i have taken note of times etc and i ahve not exceeded my time limit for helping with fac work at all. so please fix this problem as i have done all the cleaning etc and it is not only me that is having this problem.

I am not going to like THE BOOST then :( I will be truthful, I have several friends who have awesome facilities to do, and yesterday they were affected, couldn't work their facilities. When I do facilities, I at least can see what I am getting. BUMMER!!!:(:(:(

I have been able to help someone where I boosted their black loco train - the one that costs Farm Coins. But I could not help a neighbour where I had boosted their new locomotive goods train - the Farm Cash one. She only posted the Facilities not services so I dont know if that works. I havent had a chance to try out anyone else. If I get anything else useful I will post it. No one has complained that they cant work my facilities.

I was able to do facilities and clients for one with the coin engine that the boost was already pushed ahead 1 day. I had a boost for the FC engine but they have not posted their facilities.

The train boost is in the My Requests so would have nothing to do with that.
Have you cleaned the memcache? You can do that by clicking here (https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?do=clear_memcached).
It is a little confusing but if you are trying to go back and do the same request link from previous, then the time limit is actually 8 hours after you worked the last request not just theirs.

Taz I went to the Memcache, but could not clear it... I am on a Mac so don't know how that works.. I know everything says "unsetting" beside the application..

That is the clearing. After that then you close that and reopen your farm.

I am a bit disappointed in the Boost...seems we can only boost it by one day....and it has caused problems for some of my neighbours who cannot work my facilities now...so bye bye boost!! don't think I will bother with it again....the train can just sit there fully loaded from now on...so the mayor will still do all facilities for me...don't really need the goods it brings anyway and they are way too expensive!! lol

Quick question, how many neighbors may click on your train boost request? I have click on a couple of request and have received points all the way for over 2400 to 174. How is that determined?

12 neighbors can help with your train, that would accelerate your train by 24 hours which is the limit that a train can be accelerated in a trip. Not sure what the numbers you mention are, but when you click on a neighbors train you get 1 to 2% of the products that the train is carrying.

They have changed the dozer behaviour now so that the type of field deleted is determined by the type of field under the mouse when you click. You can still accidentally delete things you don't want to delete if you're careless, but at least it doesn't simply delete every field within reach.

This is my experience with the train boost: I just sent a boost request to my cousin and my husband. They both clicked on the request and received products from my train. Then they both went to FB and clicked on my factory help request and both of them were able to work my factories. I do have the first locomotive that was available. My cousin is on WF36, my husband is on WF8, and I am on WF10. So it seems everything is working ok for some of us. I was surprised that they could boost my train today because both of them had boosted it yesterday and I thought boost requests would be limited to 12 DIFFERENT neighbors each dispatch, so that is a good feature since most of my neighbors are not good at gifting and requests. I hope things get worked out so everyone can enjoy this feature. Even though it only boosts it up to 24 hours faster depending on how many boost it for you, I think every little boost that helps get certain products faster is a good thing.

I was about ready to shell out for some FC to buy more train cars, but after seeing how it works, I don't think its a good buy. You can only gain one day out of seven, no big deal.

There is usually only one item that you need for each car, so it would make more sense to buy another facility instead.

Gregh

When using the 3x3 dozer to delete planted fields, I get the "delete this field?" popup (with the option to suppress further popups where the item is worth less than x Coins) if I select a single field, but not when I select multiple fields.

This is not ideal behaviour. We should get the popup for planted fields regardless of how many fields are selected, with (of course) the option of telling the game not to display the popup again in the current session.

Not incidentally, this would address the concerns some people have about accidentally deleting planted fields.

- Bulldozer Multi-Tool change: If you click on a Harvested, Wasted or Plowed field the Dozer will only delete Harvested, Wasted and Plowed fields in the covered area. This will avoid deleting growing or ready crops unintentionally.

I thought according to Rauls message above that the dozer only deleted harvested, wasted, and plowed fields, cause it says that this will avoid deleting growing or ready crops, so when did they change this? I just tried an experiment and plowed a 3x3 field and planted something on there and used my 3x3 to try to delete the growing field and it deleted it. I just tried another one and like Gregh said when I tried to delete a single plot it had the pop up, but when I tried to delete 2 or more plots no pop up. I agree with Gregh if there is any growing or ready crops that you should get the pop up and it include so that you can check mark like harvested/plowed/wasted plots only or all plots for the current session.

Thanks to Raul and all the devs who have given us another wonderful update. There are great new things to play with and I must say that I am enjoying the dim out tool since it has been released. The train boost can maybe be improved as 1 day is not much of a saving, but then again a saving of time is still a saving.
There are just two things I wish could be fixed or made easier.
1. The way we ask for neighbours in the neighbours tab is so laborious and I am sure that another system can be worked out. Why do we have to take the long way around to make new neighbours? Can something else be worked out for us. You do so well on the game just a pity that has not been sorted out over the last 3 + years that I myself have been playing the game.
2. This is just something that I feel quite strongly about - others may not agree with me but here goes. We now have 16 farms and I feel that it is enough. I do not even have farm 16 yet and actually I do not think that I will buy it in the near future. Can this not be the last farm and then give us a 4 X 4 grid to even it out. This will also help a lot when some of the design boffins do up their farm. Also it would be great if we could see our farm as a whole of 16 instead of the one at a time.
Overall I love this game and this is about the only game that I play daily and take my time to enjoy it. Thanks for all you do for us.
Anyone is welcome to come a visit my farms.

Someone else may have already said this, but when the new holiday stuff is released, I'm really hoping we get some people in coats and mittens and hats and stuff to put on our holiday farms. The people we have now are going to get COLD! LOL

There is usually only one item that you need for each car, so it would make more sense to buy another facility instead.

The real beauty of the train cars is the working of neighbour facilities. Ten dispatched cars means that each farm of facilities is done by the 'mayor' with just two clicks by you. That's worth it for me.

I would like to know when the holiday items will be here too. With only 3 weeks to christmas, it will hardly be worth having them, if we have to wait much longer.

When this release began, on Nov 24th... the following was part of post #1

Last Year Holiday Items: New Holiday Items coming later next week

That would have been last week, so I assume they will be coming shortly. Perhaps the devs are trying to resolve the slow slow slow server responses.

Ah but does that mean later, next week or later next week? We might have to wait until Friday or Saturday :eek::eek:
I am waiting for the new decorations to put out the old ones - to save moving it all about.

I agree with Maggie, it depends on how the weeks are calculated, since it was released on the 24th and it is the end of a week like it shows on a calendar, which could mean that the 11-25 to 12-01 could mean this week and that next week could mean 12-02 to 12-08. The meaning of next week has been a debate going on for a long time

OK I'm confused...I thought it took 12 people to boost a train 1 day, but today it only took 10...now I do realize that FT is on a 20 hour schedule not a 24 hour one like us humans so 2hrx10clicks=20hrs... ;)
but here's the thing, yesterday and the first day the boost was activated it took 12 clicks/people/friends/nieghbors to advance my trains 1 day 2hrsX12clicks=24hrs... :eek:
So now what is it 12 or 10 :confused:

I am thinking it may depending on what time inthe day your train is at the time you send the requests out. So if it is not a full day then it will only take as many as it takes to roll your train over to the next day.

Your train can be boosted by a total of 24 hrs in one trip. Once done there no point sending more requests out until it's next trip.

How do we know if it has been advanced? Do we count up the "... accelerated your train", if so if we Boosted 2 trains how do we know which train they accelerated? I have the standard train on one farm and the Enhanced Train on another one, I have boosted both of them. From what I see there is no way tell either.

I have never had the every 8hrs thing work for me.....but I havent posted cause i usually have many neighbors I do so is likely I dont get back to them. But is saying something since it is brought up.

The 8 hours is not 8 hours after working that individual's but is 8 hours after you work any facilities.

It isn't fair at all to announce in an update that more items will be coming in a specified time, then they aren't released. It's equally unfair that there is absolutely no communication from the powers that be to give the players an explanation for the delay, or a new specified date. Credibility in any business goes a long way. Phrases such as "later this week", "next week", "in the next release", and "soon" seem to all mean one same thing : "Whenever we're ready". I have a Christmas farm not completed, because it was stated that new items were coming out, supposedly last week. I dare not even look at the contest theme for December, because if it is Christmas, we either have to wait indefinitely for the rest of the items, before entering, or we enter using the old decorations and thus are at a disadvantage in variety that would be offered to those who are patient enough to wait. :( This happens every year, the developers wait and wait and wait, before the Christmas things are released.

How do we know if it has been advanced? Do we count up the "... accelerated your train", if so if we Boosted 2 trains how do we know which train they accelerated? I have the standard train on one farm and the Enhanced Train on another one, I have boosted both of them. From what I see there is no way tell either.

From what I can see the only way to tell which trains have been advanced and by how much is by trying to click the boost button and it tells you your train has already been boosted the max 1 day - no way to see who did what and how much is left.

That is the clearing. After that then you close that and reopen your farm.

Thanks, but what is it today... I cannot get the avatar to advance and when I am seeding she just stops there and everything freezes then I have to kind of shake the screen and then she starts moving... I think I am going to leave it for a while and see if it gets fixed... I refuse to work like that, lol

I suggest we make ONE click to change all gifts to something we want and ONE click to return gifts to the senders


That would be nice to have that 'magic button'


I am having problems here also

I keep getting the same list of gifts that I have already accepted.
The very same list. And that includes the train boosts also, and the same friends to 'neighbor'. The very same list.
Then I try to click on 'my requests' again, but again it is the same, I reload, I close out and reload, do the memcache also, also no change
Still getting the same gifts over and over, so when I go to place my gifts and animals...there is none to place.

I have tried to reload and other things, so I don't know what is going on.

How about some clothes, winter coats and other items that will fit over the clothes they have on now?.....
Maybe for the summer a person laying on a blanket on the beach could turn into a person on snow making a 'snow angel'.
Or a person skiing down the slopes could turn into a person swimming, or water skiing.
How about a pair of boxers [people- not dogs] that could turn into sword fighters?

Thank you that does help some, also I just discovered that you can only boost 1 train at a time well probably it was because I selected all users the first time, I guess it is like gifts you can only send to the same user 1 every so many hours.

Hi,

Your train can only be boosted up to 24 hours in one trip, so you need only send out 12 requests for one train and then 12 to another set of friends for the other train. That is assuming your friends remember to check their gifts to accept.

Dec 04 2012, 08:53 PM
Ah! thanks Tiger Laybourne. I thought that was how it worked :)

and you can't send out any requests anyway once train has received the maximum number of boosts....:)

I have been giving some thought to the release of decorations and trying to think of some ideas for the New Year. Basically there are decorations for February,March,April, October, November and December..so is there a way the decorations could be released earlier? My thoughts are may be a month before the holiday. When a comp is designed around a Holiday this may help relieving farmer stress. Thank you for taking my suggestions into consideration. I love this game and love the way you have listened to the members to improve it.

- The boosting of other people trains was interfering whenever you were able to work on other people facilities, this is now corrected.

Sorry Raul this is still causing a problem. I just boosted my friends new Farm Cash train and now I cant work her Facilities - I dont even get the pop up message about working just the one to do weeding or whatever.

The 200k house is nice... I put three of them together, with the one in the middle turned 90degrees... looks like a nice place to celebrate the Holy Days of Christmas.

If we get the next 5 expansions in time, that will give me a little more elbow room for the three parts of each Christmas farm 12...... after all, Santa did gain a few more pounds this past year.

If you rotate the rink, it will not hide.
Other items that hide may also show if the place where you are putting them is rotated. I have had 100% success in doing this.
In fact I just did it with a skier who "sunk" in the snow hill. When I rotated the hill, presto, he stayed on the slope, very visible. Good luck.:)

Is your train dispatched? Your train needs to be dispatched for the mayor to do your work in your neighbors facilities, according to the first thumbnail you don't have your train dispatched, cause it showed the mayor only working half of the facilities.

(image deleted to save space :) )

Try removing the two or three snowy hills nearest the corners along each edge then refreshing your farm. In all probablility the "missing" ones will pop up. Sometimes two objects on the farm interfere with each other - the way some sections of the Hallowe'en black fence did - and one of them will be hidden.

All of these new releases and all, use up our resources. When I had 10 farms or so, with an oil pump on each farm, I had no trouble keeping my oil reifineries working. I have 7 of them now, adding one each time I filled each one up.

NOW I have 16 farms, each still with an oil pump, and I cant keep more than one of them full all the time. When I pay real cash money for the refineries, because I could keep them full was OK, but now I can't keep them full, and I resent that I spent the farm cash for them only to have you add different requirements without compensating for the production of oil to run the refineries.

I think that the oil pumps should pump more than what they do now, or we should be able to put more than one on a farm so that we can run the now idle refineries.

Just a guess... but I guess that you also have one or more gas stations... and they eat up the gas like crazy.

If so, open the gas station, and uncheck the fuel box. You will be amazed how much fuel will accumulate if you have that many rigs.

I have two gas stations with unchecked fuel ... and 7 rigs, and one refinery...... and currently still have 7+million fuels available and 23,000+ fuel tanks waiting which, at today's gas prices would yield 6.9 million more and rising.

yep.. my guess is the gas stations.

Just a guess... but I guess that you also have one or more gas stations... and they eat up the gas like crazy.

If so, open the gas station, and uncheck the fuel box. You will be amazed how much fuel will accumulate if you have that many rigs.

I have two gas stations with unchecked fuel ... and 7 rigs, and one refinery...... and currently still have 7+million fuels available and 23,000+ fuel tanks waiting which, at today's gas prices would yield 6.9 million more and rising.

yep.. my guess is the gas stations.

:D Actually I think OP's complaint is that there's not enough Crude Oil to go round. She's probably swimming in Fuel, but can't produce enough Crude Oil to keep her seven Oil Refineries running at 100%.

If your facilities are heavily worked, even a single Oil Refinery can run through the Crude Oil produced by 16 farms. The addition of Mineral Oil increased the demand for Crude by up to 50% yet the supply of Crude has not increased. Each Oil Pump puts out 8 barrels of Crude per day and there's nothing we can do to increase that.

(I have only 5 Refineries and even I can't run them at 100%; I run one at 100% to make Fuel and Mineral Oil but the other four only produce Petrochem for my Petrochem Plants. I have 28 million gas in the tank and 22,755 cans (worth another 6.8 million gas) in storage, and my Petrol Station can't sell Fuel fast enough to stop the stockpile growing. Like OP I used to run out of Crude Oil all the time.)

Thanks so much for the new winter stuff and people. I did my farm for Christmas....made a little village and will redo for winter after Christmas. So very nice thank you again!!!!! :D :) :D

Has anyone tried to put the people skiing on the new snow hills??? I'm hoping they don't disappear behind them.

I think someone posted they could rotate the hills and put the skier on the hill - its still trial and error tho - he has spots where there is deep snow and he sinks LOL.
I really wish we could put trees on top of these snowy hills and also the grassy hills though - I wish they would behave like the earth patches.

Try removing the two or three snowy hills nearest the corners along each edge then refreshing your farm. In all probablility the "missing" ones will pop up. Sometimes two objects on the farm interfere with each other - the way some sections of the Hallowe'en black fence did - and one of them will be hidden.

Thank you, I believe this has helped. I actually pulled them all off and put them in storage and then pulled back out and spread them out a little more and used less and it looks like it is holding now.

This is just something that I feel quite strongly about - others may not agree with me but here goes. We now have 16 farms and I feel that it is enough. I do not even have farm 16 yet and actually I do not think that I will buy it in the near future. Can this not be the last farm and then give us a 4 X 4 grid to even it out. This will also help a lot when some of the design boffins do up their farm. Also it would be great if we could see our farm as a whole of 16 instead of the one at a time.
Overall I love this game and this is about the only game that I play daily and take my time to enjoy it. Thanks for all you do for us.
Anyone is welcome to come a visit my farms.
Toni

In my opinion I would not want to see them switch to 4x4 that would mess up my farms, I have them connected with roads and train tracks and if they moved them from 3 across to 4 across I would have to redo several of my farms unless they allowed the farm selector to move farms one time and make those permanent then I might not have to redo as many farms.

I think things are working good, but i don't have a train.

can u have more than one semi truck anyone know? I know it would need to be on different farm like the other facilities but didnt know.

On new release thou, I always love what they release and ready for some more :) Still waiting for those snowy mountain tops or volcanos!

My Christmas wish for the New Release is the rest of the upgrades to 32x32 and new switch tracks for the trains, and possibly the asphalt road crossing for the tracks would be nice also. If we got only those in the New Release I would be happy, then I could continue working on my farms.

Yes you can have more than one semi as long as they are on different farms.

[1] Expansion of farms 11-16

[3] LOAD ALL FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITIES button at $100 FC

[4] HARVEST ALL ANIMAL FACILITIES button for the Facility Manager at $75 FC (only the 1% will be inclined to buy)

[5] LOAD ALL SERVICE FACILITIES button for the facility Manager at $100 FC

[6] TURBO CHAINSAW at $75FC which will harvest each type of tree that is adjoining... if your apple orchard is all grouped, one click harvests apples.... then one click harvests all orange trees that are touching each other... etc.

[7] CHICKEN AND MEAT gifts moved from 20 to 50 each gift

[8] FENCES AND WALLS can be rotated at 45 degrees, not just 90

[9] New VIEWS for Confectionery Factory, Sugar Refinery, Hamburger Restaurant.

[10] Bonus to workers hired in the Market Place who are hired and actually FINISH the job... no bonus if they quit, miss some work, get bumped etc.

if things go any higher withthe FC I will quit buying anything over the current 32 or 35. THis 40 and 50 FC is BS. We can barely get anything with the amount we pay for FC. we get 250 FC for $40 real money. If you buy farm expansions at 30 fc tand you get 5 there is 150 gone Buy 3 facs and there is another 92 to 94 gone. Maybe make everything that is big items that you buy with FC the same price. Like 30. that would make it easy to figure out what you need and how much you can buy. so if you buy 250 FC you can get 8 itens with FC and have 10 fc left over.

I do agree with the 2 FC for each level acheived. Would make it a little more lucritive for us at the top. But then again I am asking for a Christmas Miacle (sp) right!!!!!1

i would def. like a "load all" button in my fac manager. i have so many stupid facs it takes me over an hour to load them up, and once i post-POOF! they are all empty, after 5 or 6 people help. not that i'm complaining, i'm glad that the mayor helps, and i love the fact that all my neighbors do too. but i do have more than 6 friends that like to help.

The only thing i'm spending FC on from here on out is for additional farms.

I would like to see more than one farm offered in the next release. That way I could begin to remodel some of my older farms and move stuff around.

I would also like to see you be able to put as many of each kind of facility on one farm as the space allows. That way every farm is not cluttered up with facilities. This would allow more room on the other farms to desgin things.

Just my two cents.

For those of us that do not have tons of time to play quests the FC idea there is a waste of time. Just my View point. If you play them alot them I hope it works out.

That would be a nice idea for people to earn more FC, but in my opinion it would be a mistake to add the FC with the quests, and that is because one neighbor will tell another neighbor that they received FC for doing a quest and the other neighbor hasn't gotten any, then they will come to the forum and complain that they haven't gotten any FC for the quests and that their neighbor has, the little by little all the complaints about one neighbor getting FC and others not will start coming in the forum. Now if it was for doing a certain amount of quests, maybe like 1 FC for every 10 quests done or so, but then again you have the people have can't do certain quests because they can't afford the facility so they won't be able to complete as many as others. There have been some on the forum that says they get like 4 or 5 quests in a row that they can't do, so that would take them longer to get a certain amount of quests done. This is just my opinion with the info as to why I think like this.
