I love all the new filters and they are super useful. With the new reward of allowing a neighbor to work your non-workable facilities once a week it would be nice to be able to disable all/enable all within the Facilities screen instead of scrolling through and checking/unchecking them all. This will allow us to start them all to 100% before someone works them since our requests stay on the wall for so long.

[closerfan]

Please consider adding different types of wine in winery. There's chokecherry. dandelion, etc. Also, different types of ice cream in ice cream shop such as Neapolitan, maple nut, chocolate malt, rocky road, etc. Thank you for all the updates/improvements.

[Lee Ann]

Can we please increase the clam container, several of us beg daily for these to try and keep up, they produce much slower than the other items in the facilities

[charis458]

I would like an option in the super neighbor set up to allow or disallow a neighbor to irrigate.

[brewergirl1961]

I do believe it is time we increase the units on Black Ink & Pigment. Most facilities use this colour. Also Red ink. I cannot believe I own 13 I&P factories and run out of this product all the time. even stocking up for a couple of weeks I still run out. Bad enough relying on friends to gift me Walnuts, covering my farms to keep them going.

[AnnaWalls]

Ponds: Could you please trim the footprint around the assorted river parts. Some aren't too bad but the corner is the worst. I have a river running through some of my farms and through the fields and trees I have planted there. I like to have my fields up as close as they will fit, and then fill any gap with small grass. Some of the footprints are so big as to still leave a background gap around the water - square, for instance, rather than rounded. Thanks so much for all you do. I love this game.

[AnnaWalls]

This is just an appearance thing, but I think it would look better. I remember back when there was only one farm and then the navigation pane first showed up as a diamond. If the navigation pane is going to continue to grow, wouldn't it look better if there were five across instead of four? Everyone counts by fives anyway, and there is room for that kind of change. Of course, if you did that, I'd be forced to redecorate all my farms. hahaha

[Early Girl]

Please add "ship management" within the option for management. We have waited forever, and it's obvious that it was the ultimate goal. Thank you

[Palmarina]

Hi
suggestion to add
- the reed diffuser and incense sticks to the beauty salon.
- the lace dress to the mini mall
- the cocktails in a new facility cocktail bar

[bbarksda]

Create a link between Facility Manager and storage. Then Link items in storage to their corresponding facility. Give us the ability to turn of production form storage. If you need me to word this differently, please let me know. Thanks for your consideration

[closerfan]

I know this has been mentioned before, but it's worth repeating. Please consider a twenty-four-hour irrigation system. This would be one less thing to worry about. Thank you.

[bbarksda]

Please produce more Baking Soda in Open-Pit Mines.

[bbarksda]

Please increase the number of facilities per farm. It would benefit the high end players and I am sure there are many of them who are in the same boat as me. I am losing a lot of product.

[Farm Of Luxury]

My idea is:

When working facilities of neighbors, when the window pops up it is bright white, make it so we can adjust the brightness. For example, when playing at night and I work facilities, and click the work button the next window/facility pops up, after a while the brightness gets to the eyes.

Thanks for reviewing.

[Tom C]

why does every time we go to dispatch a ship, we get a different list of ports, why can we not set it to go to the same set of ports every time, why do we have to choose it. because once again i messed up and hit dispatch before hitting reuse old list.

[bbarksda]

It would be helpful if there were an increase the number of facilities on farms.

[Denise Dianna]

Turbo versions of the Super Facility of the week should be included

[littlesallysanctus]

How about allowing seaweed to be harvested...for vegetarian and seafood restaurants also Japanese restaurant soup. Capsules in healthfood store

Add eel to big seacoast and marlin, squid, abalone, conc,

Turtles for pet store and other tropical fish.

[Palmarina]

Suggestion to add premium rabbit food to the new facility.
Please?

[Lkonikow]

In farmville long ago they had an insta grow function that grew your crop instantly. Could farm town implement such a feature? This could be a farm cash Item

[Scooter]

I would LOVE to see a few more southern American dishes besides the few at "Grandma's Country Kitchen" Suggestions would be -

Have to have Fried chicken! Chicken and Rice, Smother Fried pork chops or chicken (use the gravy ordered from the Semi Truck.)

Some kind of peas (Field peas, Purple Hull peas etc)

Mashed potatoes using what we already have - potatoes, cream, butter, salt & pepper

Sides of fresh raw veggies - sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, onion, carrot sticks, celery

Salads -
Carrot salad (mayo, sugar, raisins & shredded carrot)
Potato Salad - potatoes, mayo, mustard, onion, celery, pickles, boiled eggs.
Garden tossed salad - lettuce, tomato, onions, cucumber, dressings from our Sauce & Condiment factory
Chicken or Tuna Salad - Chicken or Tuna, mayo, celery, pickles, onion served on lettuce.



Smokehouse - Smoked Sausage links to make a Sausage Dog, bell peppers and onions, mustard & hot dog buns. Served at Fair Food Building or Sports Arena


Bakery or Grandma's Country Kitchen -

11 layer cakes - quite popular in the south! 11 THIN layers of cake with either chocolate or caramel glaze.
Berry pies - blackberry, blueberry, strawberry
Apple Dumplings
Peach cobbler

[NJones277]

There is a lot of space taken up on the request walls. I propose another wall for brags or accomplishments. These are not requests. It could include - claiming FC, expansions to farms. leveling up, and purchases of FC facilities. Also could include placement in NCC. Just a thought to free up space for requests like bonuses, gifts and ingredients. :)

[al_bundy]

the Premium fodder facilities are good but being a farm cash item they have failed to include a benefit for the hardest to get animal products being rabbit fleece ostrich feathers and peacock feathers etc

this should be looked at

[gpk]

I would like a way to lock the itinerary for ships. It seems I no sooner get a list of ports that actually works the ships when I forget to use the "Reuse Last Itinerary" button and have to set it all up again.

[ftjill]

White Rabbit Fleece

Please add white rabbit fleece to the new Feed supplement Plant and the Premium Fodder Factory.

[texans]

When working as a Super Neighbor if you previously planted Wheat for example when you came to the next farm it pops up the Harvest plow tool instead of the Harvest-Plant-Sow tool. Please adjust the automatic tool to Harvest-Plant-Sow. Also, when going to a farm if things are done such as fishing it would be nice for those to come up instead of going into the tool box. Doesn't always happen but when working as SN it would be awesome for those to come up automatically. This also could be a preference for those that want to plant their own crops.

[LisaScobee]

When someone is hired as an employee for harvesting, that person can replant the same crop as the farm owner can.

[Susan Canning]

I have had a few ducks in my shed for years. Could the duck down be used for something? Maybe pillows made in household linen fac, or at least make the harvestable for coins

[Susan Canning]

A lot of facilities now use bread and although I have bought 2 new bakeries I can not keep up. I don't want to buy more bakeries as they use a lot of yeast.

Could bread production be increased please, in line with demand.

[petals]

Need to have rabbit feed as part of the premium feed.

[Laura CJ]

I never have enough soy sauce so if you could increase production, it would be greatly appreciated. The facility is farm cash or I would buy several to get more product.

Love the game - been playing over 14 years!

[BethFB]

Would love to have more baits instead of getting like 500 every six hours and have to wait days to get enough to harvest all of our ponds and coasts, could it be like 5500 every three hours as that would be good.

Thank you.
Beth

[GrammieRee]

Please, can you make some way for us to search all farms for specific items?
When a quest says to harvest/chop x-many of a certain flower/tree it takes forever to search on every single farm to try to find that specific flower/tree, especially if you have to search your own farms as well as your SN's farms to find enough of that item.
(NOTE: I had originally posted this in the Farm Pass section but I think it belongs here instead.)

[MOM GLENDA]

please back up the watering 4 hrs like you do other things ..thanks

[dofford]

To whom It May Concern;

If you are going to expand the existing farms, please expand the capacity for each farm to let s put the same amount of crops, flowers or trees on them.
It seems that after every expansion, we have put to much on the farm by just adding the crops to fill the larger farm.
Not much point in expanding in the first place.

i would much prefer you to add more farms as you were doing earlier.
There for a while all you did was expand.

Keep up the good work as the new improvements are really a time saver and makes the FT experience more enjoyable.

[jlawson18@tx.rr.com]

On Facebook, the font used in the names of the fields had the ability to add symbols, in particular music notes. All of my farms had musical notes to indicate that they were songs. Anyway we could bring back the ability to use symbols?

[maltesetoby]

It would be nice if you would sell tools and facilities for coins, I know there are a lot of us like me that can't afford to buy farm cash to buy all those things that we need. I love Farm Town I have just came back after a long break. And still can't afford to pay for the items. Just a suggestion, I will still play but just won't get everything.
A long time fan of FarmTown!

[illusions_fan1]

I have wanted to make the suggestion of the ability to "Like" or Congratulate (celebrate) our neighbours/buddies milestones (level-ups/new tools/new farms) in some way... just to sort of let our fellow neighbours/buddies know their achievements aren't going totally unnoticed. Although since we can't see our own "posts" we probably wouldn't notice them anyway lol.

Clams - yeah we definitely need more! I have 9 normal fish farms and 1 turbo and I can't keep up and at the moment there's a good chunk of Cash Facilities I don't have (that were released during a hiatus) so I probably don't even require the amount that other farmers do at a point where the fish farms I have probably SHOULD be enough although I admit at one point I would have sold non-ingredients(for me) and probably sold a good collection of them my suggestion for a solution is that I think one thing to review might be the refrigerated train car contents and even add bait (with mass fish farms I don't think any players would be upset for more bait) or otherwise even a 2nd refrigerated car that contains the clams AND bait (and presumable something else lacking) because I could definitely see that being a desirable purchase!

Store Organisation: In particular for Facilites Category... this needs revising... the A-Z component in this section is almost useless with the exception of cost but it's not handy when the other options are not streamlined... and the (I'm going to call it a Trophy lol) Trophy filter component is frustrating because the Facility types feature (important!) is lumped in with the (also important!) "Owned/Not Owned/Not on This Farm" Ownership feature... these two sections need separation/better filtering so we can Focus on the type of facility and the concern we have in conjunction with each other and not having them clash.


Thank you!

[Palmarina]

Suggestion for the Dance Club (service fac.): please add some sandwiches from the delicatessen factory (Deli). They use good ingredients and we can't load them up.
Now the Dance Club has drinks, glasses and a ceiling lamp. Please add some food like the sandwiches from the deli factory.
Please?

[Patti Coop]

This is just a thought... orange wine (made with white grapes, but the skin isn't removed) has become quite a thing in the Washington DC area... might be fun if that and rose could be added to the winery. (Yes, I live next door to a wine shop!) Thanks for all you do.

[LisaScobee]

Allow airborne planes to be placed over objects like plowed or planted fields.

[GrammieRee]

PLEASE will you undo whatever you did that slowed down boosting trains?
When you came out with the "one click" option to boost all the trains at once it messed up sending each train individually. Now it pauses to save before allowing you to boost the next train. VERY annoying lag!!

[RozeeS]

It would be nice to have an button at the top, within the facilities/retail, to "select all" or "de-select all". This would enable us to "uncheck" and "check" all the items with one click making it easier than doing this one by one, when wanting to change items selected. Thank you

[bbarksda]

Add something in Facility Manager that let us know how many coins we have to cash in.

[bbarksda]

Add Load All / Start All Button from the Search for individual facilities in Facility Manager. Currently we have to click all of the facilities. That can take a long time if you have the facility you search for on every farm. Adding a load all / start all button on the search bar would save us a lot of time. Thanks for your consideration.

[bbarksda]

Add a "User defined group of facilities " under Facility Type in Facility Manager. Letting us put facilities we want to start in a user defined selection of facilities would save us a lot of clicking of facilities. Thanks for your consideration.

[Bratuski]

Could you please allow us to move our bait from storage to our ponds and lakes
Makes a lot of sense to me. How about you, the Developers

[closerfan]

Can you have two versions of the river options? One with fish and the other without fish.

[KLSiegel320]

Currently, the "Show My Requests" link just goes to an explanation of how requests now work. The My Requests button defaults to "Show Facility Wall Requests", and then you have to click another link to go to "Show Other Wall Requests."

Would it be possible to either split the My Requests button into "My Facility Requests" and "My Other Wall Requests," or in some other way make a one-click way to get to the "Other" wall requests (which are ingredient requests, bonuses, etc.). Maybe a dropdown? So you could quickly go direct to what you want to go to?

Or maybe a simple "requests" page, with filters for the different kinds? It's still two clicks, but at least it's all from one page.

[Dr. Dirt]

Please increase clam production. I have 16 fish farming plants and four turbo fish farming plants and never have enough clams.

[Santmyer]

I was very happy to see that all remaining facilities now have belts and dans available. Going forward please release the belts and dans options at the same time the new facilities are offered.

[♪Jeanne♪]

Move the XP tracker and the level denotation away from the center of the field. They interfere with the visual when working on a large farm. The farmers lists icon and the messages icon could be moved to the right of the screen too. Lots of room over there.

[catbird65]

Hi. I have the following suggestions for an upgrade:

1. have a "fertilize all" button for the manure truck. This will allow all farms to be fertilized at once if needed

2. When fertilizing a single farm, make the resulting pop up "your farm is fertilized" message a "soft edit" so that we don't have to click on the x to close it, but be able to move on to the next farm.

3. In the store under facilities, move "Regular Facilities, Service Facilities & Animal Facilities from the FILTER button to the SORT button. See attached document

4. In the "SHOW FARM STATS", be able to hover over each farm to find out how much longer until that crop is grown.

[kidwboro]

An option to control production levels of individual products in a given facility. For instance, manufacturing 240 plastic granules using 2 petrochemical barrels, instead of the regular 120 plastic granules using 1 petrochemical barrel.

[closerfan]

Could we have two river sections? One with fish and one without fish.

[TheBigMama]

When working my neighbors/buddies help request, and going into other wall requests, I wish there was an option to only show those I have not helped or worked. Sometimes, especially in the other wall requests, I find myself scrolling WAY DOWN to get to the next one.

I didn't see a topic where I thought this would fit, so posting here.
