Then you will know if you will get another belt so you can then close the store and click the check mark or x.

Indeed Jas that does work in theory.. unless of course you are harvesting a lot of different things. If you go and check on the status of carrots for instance, whilst someone is harvesting.. they then move on to something else and all of a sudden the pop up for the next item goes over the top of it and you lost the original one, resulting in you missing the belt for that crop which happened to me and i felt real ripped off coz i was in the same boat.. do i post the brown if a black is only going to pop up? at the end of the day though... its all free bonuses so I dont complain.. just plan it better by getting my husband to do each thing one at a time until that particular belt is going no further. Im sure it drives him nuts but at least I dont miss it then.. not that you can do that if you hire a stranger hahaha

I, too, would like some kind of list or status report telling me where I stand in giving and receiving bonuses. I also think it really isn't fair to with hold a bonus because somebody is getting too much. The work was still done, so the bonus should be given. Tonight, I noticed that when I reached a brown or black belt, I wasn't even given the choice to post, presumably because I had already reached the 1 million coin limit.

Well it's about as clear as mud.

It seems it is determined that I have had my lot for the 12 hours but still sends to the requesting party. I sort of get how it is working but it's a bit of a mess as far as I am concerned. If we put the effort in to help others we should be rewarded. I am getting mighty choosy on what I post and what I will click on if I am looking to receive anything. No clicking willy nilly now.

I don't like to whinge because Raul is doing a terrific job but this really is one thing that needs looking at and a better explanation given.

No nana, I don't think it has anything to do with reaching your 1 mill limit. It all seems very random to me as to when the pops up appear. I have never been anywhere near the limit purely because not many of my friends post, and I too hardly post, yet I still don't always get the pop up.

I can see a great delay on any future updates.. because if I was being a fly on the wall I can see Raul and his Dev scratching their heads wondering what they can do with this Disaster "belt system".. first flooding our walls, limits and people not know what they entitle... Raul its too hard.... can it and move on.

I been at the top limit of levels for so long.. there is really no challenges for us..

You need to move on and improving the game...
increase levels at least by 20-50
make things dear to buy utilities with farm coins or till you reach certain exp points not levels.

been playing game nearly 3 years and with no challenges I am getting bored with just seeding, harvesting, plowing, filling up my facilities. We need challenges.. Levels. Use of more new crops.

The aim of this game is not to make it easier but make us make desicions what crop will i do next etc. My problem have to much coins ($4 trillion) exp (18 mil)

Just an Idea.. once you reach say level 210 to get your next utilities must have x amount exp points
and the cost eg. $5 mill each
but also cost us say 3-5 mill exp points taken away from your total.. ( taking away your exp should not lower your levels but harder to buy your next item)

This will slow us down making more interesting and more challenging. I willing to spend real money but not just to keep doing the same old thing.. seeding, harvesting, plowing, filling up my facilities.

AND DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS FARMVILE ---- DONT MAKE US AS NEIGHBOURS TO SEND US THINGS TO CONTINUE PLAYING..

Ball is in your court Raul... now score a touch down.

Farm Town has never really been ALL about challenges, it's what you put into it yourself that counts, like being creative with your farms instead of seeing them just as a means to earn lots of coins and xp.

Why not move on from earning coins and xp? forget the seeding, harvesting and plowing for a while and maybe decorate more? We now have competitions, why not work towards those? So make your own challenges don't rely on the devs to make them for you.

As for new levels, I personally don't get all excited about them, they are after all just numbers.

As for the belts, no they are not a disaster, a little confusing yes, but not a disaster. The pop ups have become less and there is a lot to be gained from them once you have all your dans.

As the game has progressed, it seems everyone just wants more and more all the time, not stopping to think about how much is involved keeping a never ending supply of new releases, updates and challenges going. If the devs were to release everything at the rate people want, it will require releasing more and more cash items, which will result in more complaining.

I am also one of those people who wants more and more too, but I never come on here to complain about it, because I am totally aware the devs do what they can, I can't expect them to do anymore than that. So I have learned to amuse myself with what is available in the game. It's all about being imaginative

I am glad and agree with you Anyone can play the Farmtown the way they want but as a common male I gone pass the let see how pretty can I make my farm..

That is why this so great.. I have gone through stages and found hours of enjoyment.

In the beginning it was who had the most creative farm and with limitations of having no money to spend because you wanted save for that mansion that cost 1 million dollars
Then the next stage was a second farm with more decorative stuff to use.
Next came a change where more farms and new utilities followed by more farms and power tools.

Some like me are enjoying the game because They challenging themselves.
I developed a spreadsheet that told me when crops where due, what crops I need to harvest to ensure I could keep my factories going.. and NO, mine factories are not all always full. Working out what products gives me the best exp and $ amounts because of limited cheese production etc. Why use up valuable cheese on a product that gives you a few coins and 1 exp where you use the same cheese and get 4 exp and 100 coins. Can you see my challenge?

I am not play this game to have the highest exp or coins otherwise I wouldnt spend real cash on it. The challenge of the game for me how efficient can I run ALL my farms and facilities for maximum profit and points.

Please do not get me wrong.. I agree with you on all points if that the way you want to play your game.

I love this game because really it the only game that the Raul and dev listen to their players and come up with things that will make everyone happy.

I am not complaining but pointing out how I feel and hope I am giving suggestion or an idea to improve the game.

Personally I hate the idea of people getting free gifts for my hard work and effort just by clicking on a post. <evil> I don't like sharing my spoils, that why I like the work markets and sell and buy markets and not the free giveaways.
