I made a friend of mine a super neighbor, and she harvested the beets I had planted for a quest. As a result, I didn't get credit for the beets towards the quest, and had to replant them. Is this the way it's supposed to work?
If so, it seems sort of awkward - how do you keep your super neighbor from harvesting things you don't want harvested? I know you could make the farm private, but that seems excessive; are there any other options?

Hi earlgray:)

I'm afraid the only way to keep your crops safe is making that farm as private. If you have a quest farm, then you could use it to plant crops you need for your quest and place there, the animal sheds you dont want to be harvested using the Harvest all button. Then your quest farm can be set as Private.
When you set a neighbor as Super Neighbor, they can do any job available on your farms when visiting them.

Does the 400 animal on the farm mean we can put 400 instead of the 200 in each shed?

Hi oneninerlady:)

The limit for 400 animals is only for loose animals on the farm.:)

When my wife comes as a super neighbor to my default Farm 16 she gets a message that there is nothing to harvest on Farm 1 and has no tools to do ANYTHING even though there is work on farms other than #1.

If Farm 1 has work there is no problem.

HELP!:eek:

Something funny is happening with clicking on the cooperative quests on the neighbour bar at the bottom of the screen. When I click on the first neighbour I get one further along - it then scrolls using either right hand button to the first one skipping a load and same in reverse. It doesnt matter which neighbour I click on - it opens the co op quests for the wrong one - the same one all the time.

I'm having problems with the cooperative quests and the neighbor bar too. Some of my high level neighbors are showing as level 0 and a name of 'Friend' Their blue dots aren't showing either and I have verified that they do have quests going

me and a couple neighbors where testing out the super neighbor -I am able to work their farms just fine....but they can not work mine....they land on a farm that does not have anything ready and then move to a farm that does and no tools are available to them and are not able to work the fields. I tried clearing the memcached and cookies and cache and still nothing

Hi John and Lance,
Try putting a 2 day tree somewhere on that default farm they land on and never harvest or have them harvest it. That way there will always be something on that farm for work. That should allow them to go on working the rest of the farms.
The developers and mods are still trying to test and solve all the problems with this and obviously not everything has been fixed yet. Please be patient.

Raul has just posted another fix for the Super Neighbor:

My sister and I have set each other as super neighbours. We are now both having trouble. I cannot see her when I scroll through the coop quests. She cannot see me either. From time to time other neighbours (lower level than my super neighbour) are missing from the coop quests too.

In addition we each show up on messages to the other as being at level 0.

I have just unset her as a super neighbour and reloaded and she is still level 0 and does not show up in the coop quests, though the people at a lower level than her are now showing up with their quests.

I am sure it will be fixed eventually but I just wanted to point it out.

The neighbor bar is larger...all across the top is larger. When you open quests etc the windows are larger. I think the farm is fine but it dos seem harder to work them without going full screen.

Thanks Raul!!!

You would have to tell them or they would have to navigate to each farm and see if there is work.

I think using the super neighbour will be an individual thing. For example, when my sister goes on holiday I have her facebook sign-in information and I log in as her to do the work. Now I will be able to check things from my own farm and do the work that way.

Others may want to message a friend and say: I have some crops that will be ripe this evening. Come around when you have time.

It's something we will all need to think about in terms of our own needs.

Hi littlesallysanctus,
You do not have to set up any super neighbors and no one can delete anything off of your farms currently. You will need to wait until the design portion of the super neighbor is released to find out exactly what is planned.
You can still use the free-style hand and allow neighbors to help design that way without using the super neighbor design features when they are released.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate, Chrome Version 43.0.2357.124 m.

I was online until after 11 pm on 6/9. When I came back online on 6/10 and brought up Farm Town, I could not zoom my farm in to push farm further back and the fonts were very large on the line under the grey bar and also the neighbor bar and tools area next to it very large. I usually have my Chrome browser set to 125% zoom. When I zoom back down to 100% all looks fine but my farm window is very small and cannot work with it that way.

I had a windows update the night of June 9th and thought it may be something with that causing this. However, when I restored my computer back to a date before the updates, it made no difference at all. I checked with other farmers and found they were having same problem on Chrome. I went to Chrome Help and did all the suggestions. They did not fix the problem.

Thank you for looking into this Devs!! Attached is pic of my farm screen.

Latest information from Raul:

Post Release Updates - June 12th, 5:38PM EST

- We just confirmed that the issue with the zoom and the big farms and the quest chart not showing was due to the Chrome/Flash update a few days ago. We have managed to create a workaround so at least the quest chart is fully visible, however we don't think we can do anything about the bigger farms, let's hope Chrome release a fix soon for this.

Co-op quest arrow to the next neighbor isn't working if they have finished all the quests. It puts me back to the beginning. The only way to get past it is to find that person in my neighbors and click on the next person. This has happened with 2 neighbors quests just now. I don't remember having that problem before. Is this a new problem?

Hi RFMad,
If they have all quests finished and collect ed coins for them then you shouldn't even see them in the list. If they haven't collected the coins then you will see them but it would not allow you to buy from them. Try closing the manager and restart it and see if they are dropped from the list at least until they start a new one.

Just closing the manager didn't help but I restarted the game and it took those neighbors off my list. Thank you :)

When will we be able to select separate items for the same facility when we have more than one of the same? ie. I have several dairy barns, I would like to uncheck an item for a couple of factories, but leave the same item checked for the others. Right now, if I uncheck one item (ie. feta cheese) on 1 factory, all of the factories will be unchecked. I would like to process feta cheese on 2 factories, but have the rest of my dairy factories unchecked. I would like to have more control over the factories than I do now. I have too much Whey, I would like to downgrade processing whey by leaving 1 factory to process whey, but all the others not process the whey.
I would still like to see the fees for the enlargement of plots lowered, I can't raise enough money to get past the 30x30 sizes. Hey, I know what you could do, have a special weekend when we can purchase lot expansions at a discount.

Hi,

They need to tell you. It is intended for use when they are on vacation, so they will need to tell you when and how long for. When you then visit their farm you should see a red dot on your picture in the neighbours bar, you will have to go to each farm to see what work is available on them.

I use Firefox to play Farm Town now - it doesnt have the current problems with the Flash player - which might be affecting a lot of things. For some reason Chrome and Flash have a problem talking to each other.

Hi sqrfolkdnc,
Not that I have seen mentioned. If you will provide a link to your farms then I can check the times for you, but I have not seen any mention of a change in the time from 20 hours to 24 hours.
Provide a link to your farms so we can check this. Going to your farm and copying the address does not work as that is a generic link that takes us to our own farms. The automatic linking does not work either so you will have to create one and paste it here in a reply. Please follow the instructions on how to do that are in the following link:
http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=579554

Added: I just checked mine and I can open a new one in 5.4 hours which would be excatly 20 hours.

Every once in a while, when I go to my farm, I wind up with the bulldozer all ready to start deleting things. (Also, all the farms are blue in my "farm locater." The color changes when I travel to another farm.) Clicking on the green walking man only gets rid of the clear tool temporarily. As soon as I travel to another farm it’s right back ready to delete stuff. It’s working as if I’d been hired. I see the message that I’ve arrived in farm (#). The only way to stop it is to reload the game.

This AM, when I first arrived on my farm I saw that it hadn’t loaded completely – all my neighbors were white with a blue background. I reloaded the game. That’s when I got the bulldozer. But other times I’ve accepted or sent gifts, then loaded my farm & had the bulldozer appear right away.

Hope this is something that can get fixed easily. I'd hate to start deleting items before I realized the bulldozer tool was already set.

(NOTE: Another friend of mine has mentioned having the same problem.)

Hi Barb,
It sounds like your data is stuck with you holding the bulldozer.
Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close it and your farm, then clear your browser cache and close your browser. Reopen and try again.

Hi,

Nothing has officially been said by the developers about this yet, but when i hover my mouse over the farm grid top left of the screen, and you hover over each one, the ones that are private have the name of the farm and {extra} along side it. Don't know if it will stay that way yet though.

ETA Update the {extra} has now been removed.

From Raul's notes for the New Release


Post Release Updates - June 16th, 2:40 AM EST

- The 'My Neighbours' option is back on the request windows.
- Some users were experiencing weird issues while navigating Cooperative Quests like suddenly moving back to the first neighbour, this should now be fixed.

Hi Jo,
Are they not showing in the neighbor bar as your neighbors regardless of as Super neighbors? Check what level they are in the My Neighbors, then sort your neighbor bar by level and see if you can find them.
I don't know that there is a limit and Raul didn't say there was one, but it is possible.
Only neighbors can be super neighbors. If they are friends but not neighbors then they cannot be super neighbors.

Nice suggestion, Tiger, but it is rather inconsistent, which is why it probably isn't "Official." I know for certain that my last farm is my only one marked as Private and it does not say {extra} when I hover the mouse, but I do know some people who have decided not to use either the Super Neighbor feature nor the privacy feature but sometimes get {extra} on it and sometimes don't! As a matter of fact some of them asked me about it last year because they thought I might know what was going on... :)

The last few days, when harvesting my chicken coops, I notice that the first four show the message "XXXX animal products transferred to inventory", and the remaining coops show the message "xx hen eggs, xx goose eggs, etc..."

Why would that be?

Also, I have noticed much of the time I am rarely on server 40, like I used to be and instead I am on WF36.... and running really slow.

Hi all, I noticed something strange for the first time today. I was at my super neighbor's farm, doing some work, and her flowers weren't ready to harvest. They still had 5.9 hours to go. So I watered them and was ready to move on to the next farm, when they immediately became ready to harvest after the watering. I was able to harvest them all just like normal. This was the case at every farm.

has anybody else noticed this??

Hi Stoneface,
It depends on how many animals are being harvested. I don't know the exact amount when it shifts from showing the amount of each type to just showing a totaled amount, but that is why they show different.
Server shifts are done to balance out the load across the servers. This is done automaticaly by the server gateway.

Hi Rocker grrrrl,
This has always happened when watering flowers. They show with time before (which is correct) and then after watering show as ready, but if you refresh that farm they will go back to correct time. If you go back and look you will see that the flowers you harvested were not really done.

Hi Sandi,
The neighbors limit is based on how many digits the database can hold, it varies because not everyones ID is the same length. ID's are normally 8 to 15 characters in length. so it can vary from 80 to 110. depending on the ID's of your neighbors. At the present time, it is a limitation of the game, and can't be increased.

When you reach your limit of neighbors 1 of 2 things will happen. Either when you add a new neighbor 1 of your current neighbors will drop off your list. Or when you try to send a request the request will not be sent and the box will not change to yellow background.
So if the length of the ID of the one you are trying to add is longer than the one you deleted then it may not fit.

Thanks so much for the reply Taz. I was actually waiting for the yellow box to show up ... but it did not. But then the new neighbour sent me a msg to say that he has accepted my neighbour request. I was stunned ... checked my neighbour box and there he was ... very strange ... but I am happy! :)

Yes, you are right. I have my quest farm set as private, so I am the only one who can work it. In your case, you could set your Quest farm as private, and ask your superneighbors to not work your designed farms.

Are you both opening the tool box? I have checked your data and you have the 5x5 combine harvest/plow in your storage, the other tools are coins tools. Is your friend able to use the 5x5 combine h/p? Also, are you both receiving any message?

Your friend should be able to use your 5x5 combine harvest/plow when trying to work your farms if you have crops to harvest. You say when she opens the tool box the combine is not showing up there. Please check if she has the red dot in your neighbor's bar, which means she is still your superneighbor.
Also try to place your 5x5 combine h/plow on your farm, then reload the game, put it back in storage again and reload game again, and ask your friend if she is able to use it.:)

Hi auntsusie,
How many farms can you set as private? 26?
Farms marked as private cannot be worked directly by the player for anything. However, if you have a farm marked as private, then the mayor can work it for facilities (as in during the part he works for you).
You would need to leave at least one farm not private and always post work from a facility on that farm for them to be worked by those with both trains. For those with less then at least half of the facility farms need to not be private and again posting from a facility on one of those.

you need to have at least 34,094,000 to get to level 626....if your friend is on level 270 they would have under 6,841,000

so anyone who has less than 34,094,000 XP when the new levels come out will not get hte new levels anyone over that will have their levels increased up to 650 depending on their XP level 650 is 36,612,000 so anyone who has more than that Automatically gets the full 25 levels.

Hi max_river:)

Your semis are on your farms. Please click in your preferences (the wrench) and be sure you have the check mark for Show Tools.

If that doesnt work, then Ttry clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close it and your farm, then clear your browser cache and close your browser. Reopen and try again.

I have almost quit because of "quests" BS, and now "Superuser". Is 'farming' a thing of the past?

No, some players still enjoy the design, and the planting, and the placement of factories etc in a theme format.

Some play the numbers game.... accumulate more points for the sake of accumulating more points.

Some play occasionally for the entertainment and diversion from real life.

And then there are some, many, who are just plain addicted.... :eek:

The Devs do a good job of trying to please a wider playing audience. Granted, a LOT of players have left the game and only a few come back - and are probably shocked at the enhancements.

I wonder if the vastness of the game might scare off some potential new players. But if they know they can "grow" with the help of neighbors and tools, and working other farms, perhaps they will give FT a shot.

I just wish there was a way/incentive to get more former players back on the farm.

I cannot wait for the super neighbors to be able to sow crops for us as well. Will we be able to suggest which crop to plant or will it be up to them?

Thank you again!

Thank you! People keep forgetting that this game has so many parts! You can play the parts that appeal to you and totally ignore the rest and STILL have a lot of fun! Nobody is forced to do anything they don't want to but so many levels of players can be happy with what they have and keep working for more at the same time, it's great!!! :)

Hi domer_46530:)

To check how many hours you need to wait to be able to fish again, please get the fishing rod or any boat, then click in the Eye to open it, then when you hover the fishing rod or boat on your waters, you will see the time.:)

Thanks HOWEVER that only works for my farm I can not go to a neighbors farm and see how long until his/her fish are ready I can see EVERYTHING ELSE Trees, Crops ect but NOT Fish help! It used to be the cuser was all you needed not a pole or boat which you can not use on another farm unless you are hired or are a new super neighbor. Please ask the developers to return it to the way it used to be.
Thanks

I am not sure if this "glitch" is from the last update or not. I just discovered it the last few times I have used my transplanter tool. When transplating trees the last few times If I turn my trees off so I can line up where I want to put my trees and then turn them back on after sitting them down, I refresh my farm and the trees I just sat down have dissapeared. GONE. Not to return. The first time that happened I thought I must have done something wrong. But it has happened at least 3 times now. Today being when I realized it must be a glitch. Anyone else with this problem?

Man. Take me off FT for several days and I forget everything! I'm wanting to try the new "Private" tool - which, presumably, we work just like how we mark a farm as a quest farm or a default farm. But . . . I've totally forgotten how to do that. I'm sure I could find it somewhere in all the documentation but if someone can spare me having to look for it, that would be awesome. I KNOW I'm going to feel really dumb on this one.

Hello Farmer Susan,

To make a farm private just click on the farm name and that is where the check box is located.

Is anyone having a problem with the "superfarmer"? After superfarmers have visited my farms, when I go to FT, all my farms show as blue and the only tool that comes up is the green bulldozer and I am treated like an 'employee'. (As I go to each farm it says "Marilyn has entered Farm #) I have to go to each farm, click the green man to make the bulldozer go away before I can do anything. I've turned off all superfarmers until this can get fixed. In addition, it looks like all farms are being made available to my superfarmers including the farm I have marked "Quest" and "Private". I don't want anyone working that farm at all.

I just today discovered marking my farm private is not working. Someone (neighbor of mine of course) was able to water all of my flowers on my PRIVATE farm. Is it supposed to work this way?
Thanks

Hi GarrettHillBabe,
If they water all the farms at once with the sprinkler then it may do that. Even if they do that does not keep you from watering your crops and trees on your private farm as it only will do the flowers for them.

Hi Cindya,
Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close it and your farm, then clear your browser cache and close your browser. Reopen and try again.

If that doesn't help then try the suggestions in the Loading thread in Hepl & Support.

I'm glad they're adding servers on a routine basis as well as giving us software updates every few weeks. I read the other day the US military is paying Microsoft a ton a money for XP updates because it's cheaper than buying all new hardware that can handle newer operating systems. It's good to be civilians, is it not?

Hi Qivis,
It is not just hardware that would have to be updated. They also have many special programs that were written specifically for that operating system that would cost them even more to rewrite to upgraded operating systems.

I'm having a super farmer issue. When someone I've marked as a super farmer comes to my farm, AFTER they leave, and when I re-enter my farms, they are all shown as blue in the squares under Farm Names and I am treated as a new hire but only the green bulldozer appears. The first time this happened I almost deleted an entire farm. I have to go to each farm, then click the green man to stop the bulldozer and I have to do this to all farms before I can then do any planting, moving, etc. Why is this happening. I've stopped all super farmers until this gets resolved.:confused:

Hi,

We're not sure why this problem has cropped up for a few people. We are trying to reproduce it.

Some have reported that if they exit and reload FT the problem goes away.
If you can reproduce this consistently do let us know.
