I really love playing the game with all the new updates, facilities and products ... being able to help on other people's farms is really entertaining and profitable as well as a chance to either chat with new people or look around at their farm to see some of the incredible ideas people are using in their farm designs. ...
That being said, there seems to be a problem with the ever increasing inventory requirements ... The problem is with timing and the production output of the Farm Cash Paid For Facilities like the Semi-Trailer Truck, the Fish Farming Plant and the Bee Farm ...
When I put out a production I like to give a wide variety of products from a wide selection of facilities with sufficient quantity to make it fun for those who visit my farms and work at my facilities ... I believe that half the fun is gaining XP, coins and Product ... however, it is getting to a point where a person has to pick and choose what facilities they are going to use ... many of the facilities have to remain idle or put out such a low volume of production that it is not worth having ... BECAUSE the output from the 3 facilities I mentioned is NOT NEARLY enough to satisfy the growing demand.
Examples ... Chicken is put out at the rate of 5 units per hour or 120 units per day ...Yeast is put out at 5 units per every 2 hours or 60 units per day ...
Chicken requirements with the addition of the latest restaurants has grown to 4440 units to produce a full production run, but the output from a single "Truck" takes approximately 37 days to make and deliver that much chicken ... (it was bad when the requirements from the Taco Restaurant were 1440, but it is ridiculous now) ... Yeast takes 300 units to make a full production run in the Brewery ... but it takes the "Truck" 5 days to make that much yeast ... so if you put out a full compliment of Brewery products you can't use that facility for another 5 days ...
The Bee Farm takes about 10 days to produce enough jars of honey to meet the requirements of 1410 for full production and Beeswax (a new product) takes 4 1/2 days ...
Fish Farming Plant requirements are also ridiculous ... Shrimp requires 600 units which takes 18.75 days to produce ...
Since we paid Farm Cash (Real Money) for these facilities and since we pay coins for production, and fuel in the case of the "Truck" output something needs to be done to either increase the production output or speed up the timing ... We should not have to pick and choose what we are going to produce and which of our facilities we are going to have sitting idle for a month at a time ...
I don't have the answer, I put this out to the developers and the other players to come up with a reasonable solution ... otherwise, why purchase more facilities ... My Seafood Restaurant is getting filled with cobwebs and my Pasta Restaurant hasn't made anything "Chicken" since the first week I owned it ...
We increased our "Crop" output by fertilizer and we increased the ability to own and harvest more trees with the Tree Shaker ... purchasing a "Truck" for every farm and 2 or 3 Bee Farms and Fish Farms is not realistic ... in the cost or the design of the farms ... I have purchased a second Truck (begrudgingly) to help alleviate the problems on my farms, but it takes FC away from other tools or facilities ...
