I agree that working the facilities takes quite a bit of time, and I don't do that as often as I like. But when you're talking about the new stuff, it's a matter of click and close the tab. It doesn't take any more time to do that than it does to skim through the feed. Actually, I would think it would take more time to evaluate each post to determine if it's worthy of a click.

That way I don't get people using up their 12 hour slot to send to me on something when I would have preferred something better.

that sounds like a great idea, but I just recently realized that by changing my "postings" notices as default to just my farm friends ... that sets ALL my photos and status postings also JUST to those people. Facebook doesn't have a privacy setting that allows us to distinguish between games postings, photos and status.

Now I'm selectively choosing who to send each belt/dan notice to every time. Seems there could be an easier way of doing this. I do use my FB page to correspond with close friends and family and really don't like the clutter all these posts create otherwise.

It takes some work in the beginning, but after that it's much easier than selecting multiple people. Put your "Game Friends" on a friends list. Being quite creative, I call mine "Game Friends." ;-) Then, when you post, select the "Game Friends" list, and it will only be visible and available to them, but doesn't change your default settings.

I agree with Original Tree and levarti2 in playing FarmTown. We need to remember it's only a game and with that said, if you are bored or it's too much, taking a breather away from the game helps. I, personally, love the game and love the interaction with other farmers! I love the fact I can 'grow' the crops to 'produce' goods and being able to 'sell' them. I do the same if I get bored from catching up with my own (9) farms, so that is when I 'plan' ahead with my next group of crops to grow. I've made my own "shopping list", so I can plan how many layers to grow certain crops and then I created a "Crop Schedule" with the times (3 days, 2 days, 12 hrs, etc) and this helps me organize my time with the game. The rest of the time, is visiting friends and see how they set up their farms, help harvest, fish, or whatever, or rearrange my farms for better productions, etc. There is ALWAYS something to do.

Thanks for listening...and Devs, you're doing fantastic and thanks so much for all you do. I agree with more products to make like rhubard pie, choc cream pie, sweet potato pie, mint choc chip ice cream, different clothing items (pants, lingerie, shoes, etc), other bar drinks...the list is endless at this point! Even those wonderful Green Bean casserole with onions! LOL...<3

plz make this work for myspace!! I have both myspace & facebook farms. We have to work twice as hard on myspace & it feels like all the new releases only work for facebook. We need to be able to exchange or gifts & we deserve the bonuses as well

i have been told that it is a myspace issue it is not that slash keys does not want to give it to you.

hate the belts and dan degrees too much like farmville. would just love more farms and more levels. never get to post my belts or degrees and it was 24hrs since i was last on and I clicked on a bonus and still didnt get anything for it. I know for a fact it was over 12 hrs cause I just got off a 12 hr work shift and I cant get on farmtown at work. I have always loved this game but its just getting old now. would rather have more farms and levels.
