New Release -- December 23rd, 2010

[driverdave]

twas the night before christmas
and all through the house
not a sound to be heard
except a hand on a mouse

it cos we are all farming
with the great new update
thats kept us all up late
and we all think it is great

the facility manager
is a fabulous thing
sorting my factorys
now goes with a zing

the hills are alive
and the animals are hyper
time for me to shoosh
cos im not a great typer



MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL AND A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE DEVELOPERS

Okay, try this problem on for size:

I have lots of Cedar Trees because they are my favorite looking tree. I also harvest/cut them.
I have them placed on different farms in two rows.... the front row spaced out every third spot or so, and the back row right next to each other. It is the back row I cut down, and the front row is left for decoration.

I bought the SDPS - Super Dooper Pooper Scooper - and my trees produce double.

except...

The Cedar Trees on some farms do not get fertilized while all the other trees do.

and

On some farms (where I cut every other Cedar tree) only the ones I have been cutting show the "F". The others do not.

any thoughts?

Yes, I refresh etc.

as an example... if you visit Fattoria Sesto, you will see even the Oak Tree stumps show "F", as do harvested Rubber trees etc. Yet the Cedar Trees which were not harvested and not "F"ed

just a thpught...mabe you need to harvest the cedars that are decorative just once for them to become fertilised????

Thanks for all the new items. How lovely to get them in time for Christmas playing, and a day early so the devs would have time to fix some of the inevitable bugs.

I'm looking forward to farm 8 and so pleased that it didn't come this time. I'm saving up for it and hoping that when it comes I'll have enough coins to just go to the office and buy one land upgrade after another and get it to full size straight away. Wouldn't that be good? I'm only at a billion coins so far.

I'm also looking forward to new levels so I can get the new manure spreader, even if I have to add some farm cash.

I'm not so sure about the new knitting and knotting mill. I'll wait to see what the Game Guide says. So far I've thought that all the textile stuff is seriously under-rewarded. I'm also sorry that it takes sheep wool instead of llama wool, as I run out of sheep wool with the toy factory but have loads of llama wool left over.

However, another fun update that will make me plant some different crops.

good thought.... but then it is only the Cedar trees that show this quirk.... and only the ones that I usually don't harvest..

I am going to chop them all down anyway and see what happens.

I have a neighbor who buys all the logs for her "Essential Thingy", so they won't go to waste

Any crops or choppable trees that are 100% complete at the time of fertilizing wont get fertilized
