so, what is the point of having those options in the wrench settings ? It's a waste of time to reset it. I will just have it turned completely off, then just have to click 3 times when hired.
No matter what you set it to in the preferences it will still default to dimmed when you are hired. Clicking it 3 times will set it back to dimmed, not hidden. If you click it once that will change it to hidden.
The options in the preference are for setting it on your own farms. Whatever you set it to there will be the default when working on your own farms.

I just figured out, not having that square checked off, then the eye goes back to the way it was before this release, you know when ur hired, it shows all, half, and nothing the way it was, is how i have it, so when I get hired, the first farm i go to, i need to click on the eye 3 times.No matter what you set it to in the preferences it will still default to dimmed when you are hired. Clicking it 3 times will set it back to dimmed, not hidden. If you click it once that will change it to hidden.

I haven't seen any change. A growing crop tells me how long before it is grown and a crop that is ready shows how long before it is wasted. So I don't think it has anything to do with the update.

Hi, this is very disappointing, why is it when you get a bonus when you load ft, it doesn't let you post, you hit ok ( green ) and nothing happens, it goes away?? This happens quite a few times. Very Disappointing :(

I get this too - all the time - it has been happening for a while though - not just since this last update. It is extremely annoying.

We are given the option of expanding our farms. I have several at 36 x 36 and the most at 34 x 34. The flash player crashes quite often. I use the most up to date version of firefox (1.11 KB (1,145 bytes) . When I go to someones' farm that is planted 9 x 9 with trees, flowers and bldgs all on the same farms, flash crashes or the farm just will not load. I always make sure the only hing that is on when working farms is whatever I am hired to do is on one at a time. Is there a solution to this? I do all the maintenance, etc that is recommended on a very regular schedule. ty for any help or suggestions as I would like to expand my farms.

Some of this is resolved with memory... 4,6 8 or more gigs of RAM.

About the only crashes I have come when I have FT working, and ESPN or some other similar active video etc.

All farms are at least 36x36, 5 at 38x38 and they are sometimes a bit slower. But I am willing to "pay the price" for all the extra elbow room.

So.... can you expand your memory, and perhaps even consider a different processor? or browser?

Is there a way to tell if memory can be expanded or does it have to be taken into a computer place in order to find out if it can be expanded.

I have 3 GB RAM and would be nice if I could add a couple GB of RAM memory and my processor is 1.87 GHz

I downloaded a malware program and it found a lot of potential unwanted programs (PUP) on my computer, they can slow down your computer. I downloaded Malwarebytes. I don't know if it would help or not, just thought I would mention it.

I did the malwarebytes thing, ended up having to pay over $200.00 to get anti-virus tech to clean my computer. My anti-virus program sent me to their support tech (fee based) technician. I paid it (had no choice) but complained to to my security suite provider and they reimbursed some of the money.

Malwarebytes is a free program that removes the malware. Some anti-virus programs do not like it, but have never heard of one charging for something like that.

You can purchase the full version of Malwarebytes, which gives real time protection, priority customer support, automatic malicious site protection, scanner and update scheduler. I only have the free version and it has helped some on keeping the unwanted programs off my computer, I don't really know if it has helped on playing Farm Town or not, I have found that some problems are browser related with Chrome.

I think this slowness may (now I said may) have something to do with Dev.s working diligently as usual to get all the glitches and kinks ironed out. Flash I think is a conflict between FB and FT regardless of browser. I have spoken. Do I hear any AMENS lol

See Known Issues, More Information and Post Release Changes at the end of this post. Last changes released at Feb 14th, 1:00AM EST.

7. Selling Robot/Tool (FC) [Coming in a few days]: This tool (or tools) will allow you to sell in bulk all items present in a farm that match a particular item name or category. For protection, this tool will never work with farm cash items.


Instead of the selling robot a moving bulk tool would be useful.
Like move all the same trees or flowers to storage or move them to a new location on same farm.

It would be best if you put your suggestion in the suggestion section so the developers can see your suggestion, you can't start a new thread, this way they can keep the suggestion section easier to read, but you can put it in the thread that is closest to what you are suggesting and if you don't see one that is close, you can put it in the thread My idea doesn't have a thread.

Am loving the new tool :-) managed to clear a whole farm in 3 clicks..... one to get rid of all the flowers, one to get rid of all the trees and one click cleared all the plowed and harvested fields :-) it clears anything that doesn't cost FC :-) well worth the wait. Thank you Raul and Devs!!

If you are talking about the Excavator tool, it sells anything except for FC items in bulk, for example if you want to sell all asphalt corners it will sell all of them at one time.

:D Thank you, thank you, thank you for the new Selling Robot. For us designers it is invaluable - to clear a farm full of crates or flowers when wanting to re-design, was a total nightmare and very time consuming - now it is so so easy to do. Best thing since the Green Hand :D oh! and thank you for the 'weather' too, we are having such fun with that also :)

If you don't harvest the item before selling then you lose that product, that is why you would harvest the cranberry trees and then use the tool.

Feb 18 2014, 05:00 PM
It is great to see the improved benefits of harvesting trees and flowers. Thanks! Do you think there will ever come a time when XP can be gained by harvesting these? Many times in the marketplace, people are looking for people to do their trees, and generally, new players are after the coins, but more importantly the XP, for levelling up. Just wondered! Still quite pleased with this much of an improvement.

romesz
Feb 18 2014, 05:07 PM
Cranberry TREES, yeah, but what about just cranberrys themselves? Or wheat? The product, not the item that makes the product?

this is the new excavator tool and if you own one it is just a single click to sell thousands of items.
It does makes a big difference when someone's farm is wall to wall trees or flowers or even walking path. Anything decorative could be sold by just one click.
The product you can sell after you harvest, but that is a totally different part of the game.

You are confusing a selling tool with a harvesting tool.
We only got a selling tool this time and it does works by clicking an item and asks if we want to sell all of the same item or all of the "like" items.

The App center button just takes you to all the apps that is on FB. If you want to check for older posts than shows on your Farm Town Requests page you would just have to check your News Feed page which is your FB main page when you load FB.

Feb 19 2014, 07:53 AM
My one and only complaint about the new upgrade is that people without 4x4 or larger harvesters are not able to fuel up again when they are in the middle of working for someone else. They get a message about needing what they already have - seeders or other tools that use fuel - to add fuel to the tank unless they either open Farm Town in a second browser tab or go home and ask for rehire! No big deal for me, but many of my neighbors are barely computer literate and don't deliberately use more than browser tab because they do not know how.

Your neighbors still get the normal amounts of harvested crops, trees, flowers and fish (some of them just increased), coins and experience.
Hired strangers from the market also get bonus if they complete the jobs hired for. The reason for the bonuses was to encourage workers from the market to take jobs they don't normally like to do such as fishing, harvesting trees, and harvesting flowers. The incentive for you to hire from the market is you get extra harvest.
Strangers from the market cannot work your facilities or services.

Well all morning I could not get in to Farmtown. Now I was able to do it but my avatar is back to moving slow and I am having to wait for it to do it's thing. Seems like we have gone back in time a bit ... obviously there is something wrong with farmtown and I am hoping it will get back to normal at some stage today. Is anyone else having this problem with the avatar? Very frustrating...lol
What will I do without farmtown? for today I am going to stop trying!

Literally in the last 15 mins my toolbox has reverted to the way it was before the update. It not longer shows my new excavator tool that I paid 50fc neither is farm stats showing up. So Slashkey may well have have fixed gift boxes but in doing so have messed up the tool box.. I even have to click instead of hover... and the Eye has also gone.

My Farmtown must be really out of sync. My tools are no longer grayed out, my avatar moves slowly like she did before the speeded up update, I can't select which mode to sow in (I like the "stored amount" but it won't do that.). I love the new updates and upgrades but I think time it screwed up my town.

Restart your farms and it should all straighten out. This is a result of a fix for Flash crashes. If it doesn't straighten out after a few restarts, try the memcache clear (link below), then close that page of unsetting text and restart you farm.

Hi Tony, Not sure this is the place to ask this question but I don't know where else to go. I was hired to work a farm today and was harvesting flowers when I came upon several that I could not harvest although they were grown and ready. It seems they were "frozen" and there was no way I could unfreeze them. At least this is my belief. If there is a way a worker can unfreeze an item on a farm not his own so he can harvest please let me know. The farmer who owned the farm told me no other worker had complained about the frozen flowers and could I just use the syth to harvest. No I couldn't. I told her I thought she had to unfreeze the flowers herself. Was I wrong and if I was how can I do this. I left the farm without collecting almost 600.000 in bonus coins. Needless to say I didn't finish harvesting her farms. Can you explain and help?

Frozen flowers are not supposed to be part of the hire or keep you from getting your bonus. Did you try to collect your bonus after finishing all except the frozen ones? If so what did it tell you?

The excavator is only for selling bulk items from the farm. It was created for those who want to clear a farm quickly for redesigning. If you want to put the items in the storage then you need to use the storage tool that puts one item at a time into storage.

This situation happens when a farmer places similar items to close or on top of each other,

Yes, about the POOF of the Bonuses!
When you come back to your farm and there's a big pop up that says Loading . . . and then the Bonus Pop Up is behind it, if you click the check mark on the Bonus then you lose it. If you don't check anything and wait until the Loading Pop Up leaves, you can then click on it.
Another issue is when you are exiting FT and the Bonus Pop Up comes up there's no way to disengage the exiting process to click on the Bonus.
These 7th Dan Bonuses come but ONCE and we players are losing a lot of them!

I now have hutches on all 20 farms and each one is packed to the brim with 180 of the furry little creatures but I still don't have enough fleece to run my facilities once a day.

Have you tried to go through all your facilities that uses the rabbit fleece and uncheck or not start the items that you have plenty of.

I just looked at the data sheet and it shows that 2,490 rabbits fleece is needed to fill all the facilities that uses it to 100% and if you have them on all 20 farms you would only need to have 125 rabbits to make enough to fill all of the facilities and this data sheet was updated 2/4/14, so if you have 20 farms full with the limit of 180 rabbits you should be getting 3,600 every 2 days. The amounts stated is for just a single of each factory that uses rabbits fleece, having multiple facilities would change how much is needed to fill your facilities up to 100%.

I'm running short on Oak Lumber, Silk Textile, Leather Rolls and more and I could keep going. I only have limited Duplicated factories. Demand keeps increasing with every new Factory release yet supply is not being increased. I have 3 textile mills and 3 sawmills and still can't keep up. I also have 3 train running. It is a real issue for those of us who are trying to have full factories and services pumping. Any help the Developers can offer re. increasing supply of those products we need so desperately would help.

Have you tried to do like I mentioned to Farmer Susan above and go through your factories and what you plenty of then stop producing that for a little while until your other items get stocked up. Just like in the real world if a factory is running low on something they would see what they have plenty of and just stop producing it until they can either get more ingredients or the other items are stocked up. I know this will make some of your factories not at 100%, but you would have enough ingredients for other items.

Yeah - I know I can uncheck stuff. And I've also been asking neighbors for things that use rabbit fleece to stock up that way. Tried buying it in the Marketplace but no one is selling.

I may not be understanding what you said correctly, but if I need 2,490 for each run - given that I fill my factories each day, if I can only produce 3,600 every 2 days (1800 every day), that's not going to cut it, right? Even if I don't have multiples?

I finally bought 6 sawmills and 6 textile mills to keep up with oak and silk. That - plus 3 trains like you have - seems to work for those items.

Guess only two of us have lost 7th dan bonuses because we did not harvest them ourselves..which I do not think is the case.....

anglnwhite
Feb 22 2014, 03:55 PM
Two things.

First, there really does appear to be something up with the Dan bonuses. I filled my facilities, went on to do some other work and with every click (I was moving things), I had a different bonus screen whiz by. Took a few minutes to realize that it was the action of "clicking" that initiated the new bonus screen. As long as I didn't click something, I had the opportunity to inspect the bonus and accept or refuse it. I've missed bonuses before because a new one popped up in its place, but not like this. Bonus screens run amok. :)

Second. The new excavator tool is fabulous. I've been turning one of my farms into a winter theme and I've been clicking my finger numb removing dirt paths. Gave in, bought the tool and removed the remaining 500 paths with one click. With all the redecorating I do, the excavator is going to prove VERY handy.

Thanks again, team Farm Town.

The main question is how many multiples of the factories that you have, only if you have multiples should there be a problem with running short on rabbit fleece unless you post your facilities every day, as stated these figures are for a single of each factory that uses rabbits fleece and these stats are without posting your factories. I did make a mistake, I had forgot there was a new release since the data sheet was last updated. To fill all of your facilities to 100% and have them last for 15 days til empty you need to have 3,120 rabbit fleece and to fill what is used in a single day it takes 208 rabbit fleece. I have went through to show you how much each takes for a single day run and a full 15 day run. Note: The number before the / day is the number of rabbits fleece needed for a 1 day production and the number before the / full 15 days is the number of rabbits fleece needed to fill up that item for a full 15 day run.

004 / day or .....60 / full 15 days ..... Slippers from the Shoe Factory
024 / day or ...360 / full 15 days ..... Lure from the Fishing Accessories Factory
024 / day or ...360 / full 15 days ..... Duster Janitorial Supplies Factory
012 / day or ...180 / full 15 days ..... Hat from the Party Supply Factory
096 / day or 1,440 / full 15 days ..... Exotic Chair from the Interior Design Factory
006 / day or .....90 / full 15 days ..... Sleep Mask from the Travel Supplies Factory
012 / day or ...180 / full 15 days ..... Winter Hat from the Winter Supplies Factory
012 / day or ...180 / full 15 days ..... Trapper Hat from the Winter Supplies Factory
006 / day or .....90 / full 15 days ..... Winter Earmuffs from the Winter Supplies Factory
012 / day or ...180 / full 15 days ..... Coat from the Winter Supplies Factory
208 / day or 3,120 / full 15 days


Each farm can contain more than 180 of each animal, you can have 180 in the shed/hutch and however many you want to run loose on your farm, but these figures that I am using below are for a post stating that Farmer Susan had 20 farms with hutches of 180 rabbits for a total of 3,600 rabbit fleece.

So if you have 20 farms with 180 on each farm, so every time you harvest you harvest 3,600. So for example you just started and on all of your factories (shown above) are empty and you just filled all 20 farms with 180 rabbits.

Day 1 waiting for your rabbit fleece so you can harvest.

Day 2 you harvest your rabbits and got 3,600 fleece, then filled up your factories to full which used 3,120 of your 3,600 fleece and leaves you with 480 fleece.

Day 3 you used 208 fleece to fill them up again which now leaves you 272 fleece.

Day 4 you used another 208 fleece which now leaves you 64, but you harvested your fleece and receive 3,600 for a total of 3,664.

Day 5 you used 208 fleece to fill them up again which now leaves you 3,456 fleece.

Day 6 you used 208 fleece to fill them up again, but you also harvested your rabbits and received 3,600 and after 6 days you have a total of 6,848 rabbit fleece.

All of these figures is like stated above single factories and without posting your factories, when you post your factories there are too many variables to figure out how much rabbits fleece is used and the more you post the more you will need. As far as multiple factories, just add the multiple factories to the figures above and that will tell you how much rabbit fleece you need for full 15 days run.

Some of us with multiple factories also need a bit more challenge or new goals in the game to keep from getting bored. So we google Farm Town tips or join Farm Town groups on Facebook even though none are officially sanctioned by the developers. Some offer help in taking advantage of glitches and others help in basic play or both. In any case, you will also want to keep in mind that the "wabbits" as I like to call them can be fleeced twice a day and not just once a day. Remember that the Farm Town "day" is 20 hours instead of 24 and is a whole different animal.

This is an awesome post, KnightRider. Thanks. : ) I had done some investigating on my own and discovered that I had 2 fishing accessory things, and WAY more lures than I needed so I unchecked those and also "hat" - which I had a few extra of. I also figured out - which is obvious from your stats above - that the very BEST thing to ask neighbors for is Exotic Chair. I had 4 neighbors respond to my request this morning and it netted me 96 rabbit fleece. Part of the challenge of the game, I guess - to figure out the checks and balances. Just like real life, unfortunately! LOL

Thanks. : ) I had done some investigating on my own and discovered that I had 2 fishing accessory things, and WAY more lures than I needed so I unchecked those and also "hat" - which I had a few extra of. I also figured out - which is obvious from your stats above - that the very BEST thing to ask neighbors for is Exotic Chair. I had 4 neighbors respond to my request this morning and it netted me 96 rabbit fleece. Part of the challenge of the game, I guess - to figure out the checks and balances. Just like real life, unfortunately! LOL

Your welcome.

096 / day or 1,440 / full 15 days ..... Exotic Chair from the Interior Design Factory

...


WOW!!! i was wondering why i was running out of rabbit fleece. 4 fleece to make 1 chair!!

about being able to have only 3600 rabbits on 20 farms - you can leave rabbits laying around your farm and they still get harvested, so you can have more than 180 / farm.

i have one farm i never go to with lots of extra animals laying around.

---
i remember when you could first let workers use your tools and i was afraid that nobody would want to work your farm unless you had top tools cause everyone would get addicted to them.

lol, i've fallen victim to be addicted to big tools and spent my birthday present on buying 8x8 seeder and combine. but i love them. :D

i'd also like to thank the devs for making my preference option for Hide stick through game reboots :D:D:D:D

I have an iMac... to take a screen shot press the keys Command, Shift & the key 4 at the same time and you'll see your cursor arrow turn into something like a cross in a circle and from there you can outline what you want (like when you are cropping a photo)... the minute you let go of your mouse it takes the shot and save it on your desktop... I hope I explained that properly...

Thank you Shellgirl, I will try it like that… I knew I had to press command & shift but kept hitting the S key, could not remember, again thanks for taking the time to reply..

Not sure if this has anything to do with the recent update, but I have been having trouble with train acceleration, when responding I keep getting the "sorry, this request has expired" . this is happening no matter who sends the request or how soon I respond. It is happening on all types of engines.

Additional:

I also seem to be having problems working on facilities... on certain neighbor that I have not worked over 24 hours or more it keeps telling me that I have worked those facilities already... I have cleared my memcache and my history, but keep getting the same messages. This is not the case with all my neighbors, but it seems to be the same neighbors all the time.

You can't ever harvest frozen flowers

If they are truly frozen by the farmer, you are correct, you cannot harvest them but they do not count against your bonus.

Sometimes they act like frozen flowers even tho the farmer has not frozen them. This happens when they are planted on top of crops or planted overlapping another flower or a tree, etc. In this case, you must use the scythe to get your bonus.

The problem is, you still have to touch each one of them to know if they are truly frozen OR keep clicking your bonus after each singleton to make sure you get everything you could get. I bailed on a huge 'flower only' job this morning due to too much stacking and overlap and too many flowers needing scythed. it's just not worth it. :)

definitely not liking the new options for sending out boosts!!! Only options are neighbours or friends that have helped me. So longer able to send to FT friends!!! Another FB "Enhancement"??? definitely one that doesn't enhance my experience!!!

I don't like the 2 choices either. I used to be able to ask friends that play Farm Town that weren't my neighbors to be able to boost my trains but now their names won't come up with a search :( With the cap of 80 neighbors, I need help from non-neighbors. Please change the choices back - or is this FB?

Instead of changing it back - how about just adding a 3rd option for boosts from non-neighbors? I really like not having to sort through a huge list of folks, many who don't play anymore.

Also . . . can the cap on 80 neighbors be increased? Maybe that would help? I don't know all the ramifications of that, though - there may be other reasons to keep it where it is.

The 80 neighbor cap is set by Facebook, though most people are able to keep around 100 neighbors.

Facebook sets the number of neighbors allowed, but that number isn't set in stone and I doubt if Facebook will ever change it.

Question on what people are saying about the new way the train boost list. The 2 options are neighbors (which I don't have a question on that option) and friends that have helped. The question is about the option friend that have helped, does that mean any friend that has done any of the help options that came out in a previous release?

It seems like if a friend helps on a bonus, ingredient request, work farms, send a gift, water flowers, work facilities, sell products, or work railroads would be on that list, so if anyone has someone that is not on their list that they want on their list they should send them a message or post the message when they post facilities and have them do one of the helping options to put them on the list or is the friend that has helped something else. All of my friends is also neighbors I don't have near the limit on neighbors.

On the new train boost thing - can the lists be alphabetized? I like to spread things around - send requests for train 1 to the first 50 people, then requests for train 2 to the next group, etc. The lists seem to be random now, which makes it hard for me to know where I left off. Or even better - some way to let us know which people we've sent recent requests to and which ones we haven't?

Also, this is an issue I've noticed for awhile - I'm assuming the devs already know about it. But sometimes when I click the boost button, the bottom part of the popup hides behind the footer of neighbors who've helped, which makes it non-functional because you don't have access to the Done button. I haven't isolated the steps that make it do that - happens about 15% of the time.

Those lists are from Facebook and they don't seem to know how to alphabetize. Kind of like the Games feed in that they are not in chronological order. Unfortunately Farm Town can't control those lists.

For your other issue you are the first reporting. I have never seen it happen on mine.

i was a bit peeved about that at first too debs. there are some farmers i like to help regardless of whether they ever help me and they were missing off my list.

on the other hand - due to time constraints and how slow the process is to send out a bunch of gifts each day (on top of the mountain of other chores) - i've taken to just sending my trains to anyone who sends me gifts. i only send around 12 requests per train in an effort for them not to be empty or expired when they're clicked on. i figure a train-load of goods is as good as a gift, yea?

this new feature saves me the time of having to keep track of everyone who helps me in any way. i don't have to keep checking my gift box to see who to send to, i don't have to keep scrolling around to see who sent ingredients, bonus's or who worked my farms ... i can just clicked through the list and viola! it's done, lol.

so i love it now. my biggest gripe with this game is the time it takes to play it so i'm always grateful for any time-saving features. and those who don't show up who i want to help ... when i get around to it ... i'll just tell them ... send me a damned box of flour or something ... so i can send you my trains, lol.

when the option to allow employees to use your tools was released and you hired someone to harvest only - they got your combine tool and had to use it to collect their bonus.

that was a pain for me but i got around it by just not letting them use my tools on farms i only wanted harvested.

i think it was yesterday i forgot to uncheck the permission to use my tools on farms i only wanted harvested. i was ****** at myself thinking of all the crops we were both losing and all the xp he wouldn't be receiving yet when i checked - he was only harvesting.

so was the forced use of the combine just a glitch and has it been fixed? :)

If you hire someone to harvest only they won't be allowed to use the combine, that is harvest/plow. If you let them use your tools then they would be allowed to use your highest harvester if they want to and have the fuel to use it. The employee isn't force to use any tool, it is up to the employee if they want to use the employers tools or not. As long as they do all of the work whether or not they use your tools they will get the bonus.

I don't often make any comments in here as I'm usually pleased with everything but have to say I hate the new way Train Boosts are laid out now. I'm probably a really sad person but I like to be organized and list each train and who I have sent requests to in alphabetical order. That way I can easily find and cross off the ones who respond so I can ask them another time. Now the names are all over the place and it's really annoying. I can't understand why it's had to be changed and I hate it enough to probably not bother with my 5 trains anymore.

I had to sell my clouds. Even though they 'hide' when I go to work my own farms, I am, for the first time (on my own farms) unable to highlight harvestables that are in the vicinity of the clouds. I have this problem working for others constantly (even before clouds), but have never had this issue on my own farms.

I am so extremely glitchy ever since I cleared my meme cache (for the first time ever) that I just can't get excited about playing anymore.

Every thing is such a tedious chore.

Every time I aim at something with my cursor, the last thing I was aiming at highlights. It's overly time consuming just to get something highlighted. Beyond maddening and totally not a relaxing game to play any longer.

The avatar has GOT to go. She renders these big tools of mine practically useless. I click to harvest a load of trees or flowers and she stands there and waits for me to make the next click before she whacks them down from the first click. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for her to whack them down so I can get a clean catch of the next bundle of trees or flowers.

Like I said before, The game is always one step behind me and waiting for me to make the next move before it completes the previous move. Out of synchronicity and beyond maddening.

Totally agree, the cursor is out of sync / alignment with where I'm pointing, really dreadfully. I'm having to click several times to get a field done instead of all the ones around it. Sometimes 3 tries per click to get area highlighted.

Also, the avatar is totally in the way and when it's not, the bag of seed is blocking my cursor sometimes. In Farmville we players learned we could corral the avatar so it couldn't move. That greatly increased the speed and enjoyment of the game.

I totally agree with this - its more maddening that before waiting for her to catch up. Chopping trees is particularly awkward. Why cant it be made to work like when we are working others farms - one highlight - clear - boom?

Aussie if you click once and miss the targeted area you have to move your cursor slightly to reestablish the area you want highlighted. Well, after the first click, the avatar is right on top of your cursor and you can't click on top of it. Your screenshot doesn't illustrate the issue at hand. Also, while not sanctioned,
when working stacked fields each click is quite close to the last one and this causes the avatar to be on top of the next click.

Campaign to corral the avatar!

Hi, that would be because you own the ordering station, which has cut the usual delivery time to 30 minutes instead of 1 hour. The quests use the normal time shown without the ordering station.

Wow. Never occurred to me that I was the only one this was happening to. It happens on both my laptop and my desktop although it happens much more frequently on the laptop. I don't THINK I have large fonts selected in either browser - would seem especially unlikely on my laptop but if you'll remind me where to check that in FF, I will. I'll try the tab thing next time I need to run trains - I've got a couple due in today.

Ok, so this is just a fun, silly thing but it DOES pertain to this release so here goes:

If you've got some of the rain clouds and lightening and stuff - especially a whole bank of them, you can run your cursor over them really fast and because things turn yellow when you run your cursor over them, it highlights the sky and gives the illusion of actual lightening. It takes so little to keep me amused at times. ; )

Also, is there any plan to allow us to "deactivate" our avatar? I find it very annoying that with every errant click of the mouse, he takes off & moves directly to where I'm working, often getting right in the way of everything, which causes me to have to stop & "send him away". If only I could just deactivate that part of his movement. I don't mind that he's right there when I'm plowing/planting/harvesting/chopping/fishing, etc.,. But that movement on an errant click is highly annoying! Please let me "turn him off" or something equal to that.

Also, why do the avatars have to look like hobbits when all the other "people" you've given us to place on our farms look like regular people? What gives?

The eye is the dim out function. If you click on it then it will cycle through off, dimmed and hidden.

My screen is acting strangely. The farm name and the rest of the stuff on the top is partially hidden up above the rest of the screen. All information across the bottom in the same way below the screen. I can go into a setting I get to through the right mouse button, and it brings everything back on the screen, but the top and bottom are about 1/2" down and up respectively. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I rarely use full screen, but right now, this is the only way I can see all the tools, setting, etc. Thanks.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the new release since I haven't seen anyone else posting on it, but since this release on my sons profile that I took over, when ever I first enter the game I have no neighbors but if I go to the neighbors tab they are all there and when I reload the game they are there again. Anyone know whats up with that?
Don't have any neighbors or is it they don't have pictures? If it is the latter you should be able to just click play again.

there weren't any names, numbers, pictures, icons or anything, just blank boxes.

I don't often make any comments in here as I'm usually pleased with everything but have to say I hate the new way Train Boosts are laid out now. I'm probably a really sad person but I like to be organized and list each train and who I have sent requests to in alphabetical order. That way I can easily find and cross off the ones who respond so I can ask them another time. Now the names are all over the place and it's really annoying. I can't understand why it's had to be changed and I hate it enough to probably not bother with my 5 trains anymore.

You can always do the search name and just send to the ones you want.. as soon as you start their name the whole name appears and then just hit on the side where it says "request".. and if you have somebody like i.e. "sandy" all the sandy's will appear underneath in the column where the friends names are.. easy…

Must not be many people of Irish decent playing... No one seems to be inquiring about St Patties day stuff. Only 17 days.

actually no, there were seperated boxes just nothing in them.
I just tested it out and it worked this time, maybe the game was just lagging and taking longer than normal to fully load.

it seems you can only boost 1 train each day

booted my train on farm 1 then went to boost the train on farm 2 and no one comes up in the list as i have exactly 50 neighbours

Every 8 hours for each person. I just did my 3rd one today. The 1st and the 3rd one sent to the same people. The 2nd one I sent to a different group of people.

Ok, so this is just a fun, silly thing but it DOES pertain to this release so here goes:

If you've got some of the rain clouds and lightening and stuff - especially a whole bank of them, you can run your cursor over them really fast and because things turn yellow when you run your cursor over them, it highlights the sky and gives the illusion of actual lightening. It takes so little to keep me amused at times. ; )

If you want to check it out, you can visit my Splendor 'n' Spooks farm in my sig line. Very fun.

The avatar has nothing to do with this release. Any more posts about that will be deleted. Please keep posts in this thread about the new release only.

Sorry, Taz. My bad. I went to the avatar thread and posted there. Still having issues with synchronicity though. Any suggestions?

Since last update, watering and fertilizing does not work on all farms

Also, this is an issue I've noticed for awhile - I'm assuming the devs already know about it. But sometimes when I click the boost button, the bottom part of the popup hides behind the footer of neighbors who've helped, which makes it non-functional because you don't have access to the Done button. I haven't isolated the steps that make it do that - happens about 15% of the time.

This just happened again and I had paid attention to my steps this time. I went to Train Status to unload, then back to Freight Cars to dispatch, then immediately back to Train Status to boost. I was in full screen mode the whole time and AFTER I clicked Boost, I clicked escape so I could get the popup. When the popup appeared, it was under the neighbors-helped footer as described above. I tried clicking tab to get to the Done button like someone suggested but that doesn't work. There's no way to close the window and start again - you have to reload. When I came back after reloading the page, I was going to see if I could replicate the error. I was in full screen, clicked on boost, then hit escape but it worked fine (i.e., didn't replicate the bug). I don't know if you have to unload and dispatch first or whether there's an unknown variable I haven't isolated yet.

Hope this helps.

P.S. This really doesn't pertain to the new release because I've noticed it for quite awhile. I just assumed others had reported it so I never did. Feel free to move this wherever it needs to go but it would be nice to know where it is so I can follow it.

Try just doing all of it from the normal screen instead of starting it in the full screen. It may be that shifting from full to the normal is why it is winding up behind it.

Ok. It really hasn't bothered me that much - mostly just wanting to help by reporting a bug. I'm a software developer in my "spare time" so I know how valuable bug reporting can be.

Spare time == when I'm not playing FarmTown ;)

You don't happen to use a plugin/addon called Hacker Vision do you? If so turn that off and see if it happens again.

I don't have Hacker Vision but I do have Chris Pederick's Web Developer Tools. When I heard that I was the only one who had reported this, I wondered if that might be the culprit. It's gotta be something I have on both machines that's atypical for other farmers. That addon isn't something I can turn off - I'd have to uninstall which isn't feasible because I use it daily. I'll just refresh my FT page when the "boost behind" window happens. Not a biggie.

I would be careful with that as it may cause problems with Farm Town.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the people that have that hacker vision and now blank your monitor is having problems with Farm Town, I don't trust an add on that has the word "hacker" in it or the name "blank your monitor". I am sure they could have come up with a better names for what these do, they might not cause problems, but I wouldn't trust them.

I had to come back and THANK the Devs BIGTIME!!!! I was getting to the point of being unhappy about the game after 5 years and tons of real world money. It had gotten to the point of taking a half day or more to do all of the work on each farm every day. And I was letting crops waste and flowers die because of all of the work. It is hard to find workers that will do the job and finish their own work. I was doing it all myself. I still am. But because of the new changes I can keep down the time it takes to about 2 to 2 and a half hours now. So THANKS TO THE DEVS!! Ya'll made me a happy farmer again!!!

yes "blank your monitor" is a very lame name, however, it's certified by mozilla and they're very strict.
