I have one sitting in my list now that requires I load a sandwich to the Modern School, and all is complete except for that step and I have no $$ to purchase that facility and don't really CARE to purchase it! There is no lifeline that allows you to load ingredients into another players facilities, at least as far as I know.
I enjoy fulfilling the quests and think they add a new dimension to the game and am only slightly upset when I finish one and the next one requires that I grow the same three crops again, all of which take at least 2 days. If the quests are "selected just for me" the computer should know what facilities I have and which quests I have already done and move on. Thanks for letting me "vent"!  |
The lifelines cannot be used for the last step of a quest so if you do not have that facility then you cannot complete the quest. I have two right now that are for the Flower Shop. I don't own it and even though I could buy it I do not want to get into the whole flower thing. So they will sit until they expire.
The quests are not "selected just for you" but are randomly selected without knowing what facilities you own. The lifelines are also random and not selected for the particular quest you have.
And just an FYI the "Gift" lifeline can also be used for an ingredients request. So if something you need is an ingredient of a product then you can request ingredients for that product. For example, ketchup is made in the preserves factory. If you don't have that then you can request ingredients for the french fries with ketchup and get it along with potatoes.
