A train, please can we have a train that actually runs on rails? I have suggested this already in the suggestions section.

Ok..since I can't find a place to post this and since the search was unhelpful, I am posting this here. Another problem with the red sprinkler is this: If I am going from farm to farm to work, and I have just watered the last farm....and I forget that I still have the red sprinkler in use....when I go to the next UNPLANTED farm, the minute I click in the farm, of course I water the farm. So then after I plant the farm....I am unable to rewater it for another 19 hours and that crop doubling is lost to me. I personally spend a lot of money on this game, and that sprinkler should not be a liability to me in any way. And yet..it is quite often a liability. There is no reason that this sprinkler should not water the WHOLE FARM for 19 hours and work the same way the manure spreader works. That way if I forget that I am carrying it from farm to farm, and I sprinkle the next farm inadvertently, it will not be a problem. Thank you for listening.

Hi

The sprinkler system is being reworked.

the new red sprinkler works in the same way as the original sprinkler works as in works once per day.

one way it could work is if they make it like the other tools and it disconnects once you leave a farm.

Well....that would work, too. Anything that would make it so that carrying it from farm to farm is not possible, or is not a liability if you do carry it around. I know it's being reworked...I just had not seen any posts addressing that particular aspect of its problems. Right now that machine is a bit of an annoyance. If I want to water flowers, most often if I do not want to interfere with crop growth, I have to use the watering can. It's usefulness at the moment is extremely limited, so I hope that they soon come up with some reworks for it that address all its issues. Thanks for the reply.

You're not alone there. I've done that once or twice

and kicked myself thoroughly for it. I try to remember to click it off before changing farms, but sometimes I'm in a hurry and forget to.

Agreed, a set up the same as the manure spreader would work really well.

I agree too. The manure and water sprinkling should be used as equals, in fact it would be better if you combine the two. This will save us all some time with these steps.

Thanks for increasing so many of the products. I was able to go through my farms and get rid of half my multiple facilities like the textile, sawmill, metal mill, and rubber factories. I still need 2 of each but that is better then 4 or 5. I do think a few things were missed.

Sugar was increased but not nearly enough. Sugar is the ONLY item I ever run out of. I would love to see a sugar refinery like the flour one that is FC that produces as much sugar as the wheat production. Before the upgrade on the Stone Windmill I ran out of flour constantly, now I have over 53,000 in storage.

Prosciutto - This needs to be increased. I have 2 smokehouses and still it isn't enough. I always post for help with the Italian sandwich and sometimes I get enough, sometimes not, especially if I need other items.

Air Freshener Factory - We were told the potpourri would be taken out of one and replaced with the car air freshener. But it wasn't. The potpourri and scented candles are used in 2 service facilities but the reed diffuser and incense sticks are not used in anything. A little better balance would be nice. An increase would be nice too. I was going to get another to help stock up but it is a FC facility and last update I spent 177 FC so can NOT spend more.

I have all the factories. I wrote them down as I filled them last time. There are still currently 20 factories that do not have a fill all button. Figuring on the past, there will be 3 more tools needed to have a fill all button on all of them. That will be another 105 FC. Then we have to worry as new factories are added whether those will be included or not. Then if we get a start all button at the top then that will be another 45 FC. I understand the need to make money, to pay bills, etc. But to milk those people who PUT you in business is BAD BUSINESS. And yes I understand I don't have to buy everything yadda yadda yadda, but as many have said to get the full playability and enjoyment out of the game you need those things that cost a fortune.

Lastly, I agree with the several posts I have seen with being able to mark off certain products from being filled with the fill all button. I have multiples of the dairy, soda, and bakery to keep up with what is needed with cheese, bread, and farmade. So to utilize the fill all button I paid for I end up filling things I don't need.

I love this game and will continue playing, I just wish we weren't being nickel and dimed to death and that when a new factory is introduced someone would take the time and do some basic math to make sure what is needed/produced is logical with existing factories or make the changes so that it adds up correctly.

I am quite irritated by the flower irrigator now, I often have to water my flowers to undead them so I can harvest them, and then I decide what to plant, but omg i can't irrigate now, stupid flowers, and the increased crop speed is lost to me. Either make it so even an unplanted field is irrigated so that once u plant the time is sped up, or make it so watering flowers by an unplanted field doesn't affect the field at all, so then u could irrigate it once u plant, or seperate the 2 waterers from each other so u can either water or irrigate.

LOVE the new facilities, so pretty! I wasn't even expecting an update.

Deanna J. Lloyd · #10 Sep 26 2011, 12:17 PM

Could NOT figure out what was going on when I was restocking my facilities. Suddenly my oil pumps showed 50 units instead of the 28 I had loaded earlier in the day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now the supply facilities (the ones that aren't available for our neighbors to speed up) can just about keep up with my needs. I especially appreciate the increased output of shrimp!

To echo someone else's earlier post, could we PLEASE have the brown sprinkler backk?! Sometimes I just want to water my flowers, not speed up the crops -- and I can't do that now -- not unless I want to use the watering can -- and for some of my farms, that's a really tedious process.

Awesome update. Love the new facilities. As usual, the FT devs rock!!!
