Plowing, Seeding Or Harvesting
 

This thread is for reporting problems concerning any problems with plowing, planting or harvesting. Please read the following information BEFORE posting in this thread. Thank you!

Check Out The Game Guide:

Chapter 02: Basics The basics about harvesting, plowing and planting is included in this chapter, including how to use the search tool and the eye that appears bottom right of the game screen when using tools after reaching level 10.

Chapter 08: Harvesting Harvesting, wasted crops, and how to sell harvests at market is included in this chapter.

Some Issues And Solutions:

1. Why won't my plots stay plowed or planted? Try Clicking the Disc Icon before leaving any job to save any pending changes. Also, try clearing your browser's cache and macromedia cache files.

Click HERE for instructions on clearing your browser's cache.

If they still wont stay plowed or planted, this maybe due to accidental layering. Delete those fields, click the save icon, and refresh the farm. If they come back, repeat the deleting, refreshing, until you have only grass. Then you should be able to plow as normal.

2. How do I get rid of the spaces between my plots? Delete any plots that have spaces on your farm. Go to your preference settings (the wrench icon) and make sure there IS a check mark beside "remove spaces between fields" and then plow.

*If you are having a problem with a specific tool or fuel, please read the top post HERE*

H/P/S pending changes stop saving
 

I have been experiencing a rather annoying problem for the last few days when working neighbor farms as SN.
I am on Chat Server: C20, Farm Server: w27

Here is a typical scenario:
I arrive on a field with crops ready to work. I select my yellow harvest-plow-sow tool, select a crop to plant, and begin work. I h/p/s available crops on that field. The Pending Changes to Save button turns red, and shows the number of changes to save. Most times, that number goes down (sometimes it does not, see below), and I then finish any other work on that field (trees, flowers, etc.) and duly work those.

The Pending Changes to Save button is red again with a number in it, which may or may not count down until there are no more changes to save. This is when I know I might have a problem.
If the number of changes to save does not begin to reduce within several seconds, it may just stick there. The only way to recover from this is to leave the game (go back to facebook or click on My Requests), then reload the game, then navigate back to the neighbor's farm, then to the field I was working, and check to see if that work has been saved - and most times I will have to re-work what I had already done a few minutes previously.

Is anybody else having this problem?

Thanks...

Hi RichmondGuy :)

Are you working if full screen? if so then go back to normal screen and see if they save.

You can also tray the suggestions given in the following thread:
http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352666

Maybe this is a possible slowdown on the internet somewhere in the many links between you and the Farm Town servers.

Thank you for your reply.
I do not work full screen as I have the large tools.
I checked the flash player settings, cdn.slashkey.com did not appear in the list (I use Chrome, so don't require a standalone flash install, even though I have one).
Storage is set at 1 MB.

Did you try all suggestions in the links inside the thread? Please try them and see if they help you with your problem.

Yes, I have. I'll be doing more SN work shortly, we'll see how it goes. Thanks again.

Can we not view the farms that need to be harvested yet. I have not seen that option.

Hi goldendreamer :)

You can see the information clicking in Show names and then in Show work info button.

But the Farm Stats has not been added to HTML5 version yet.

harvesting, plowing, planting
 

Hi. I'm enjoying the new version of the game. I ran into a problem just now. I'm working on my farms-harvesting, plowing, planting-and am working on the 7th farm. After I planted the farm, I noticed one field wasn't planted. I got my seeder, but the field didn't show up, so I reloaded the farm and noticed that some of the farm was not harvested. So, I harvested it and plowed, then planted that part again. I noticed that some of the plots are showing as harvested. When I mouse over other plots that are showing 'scallions', they show harvested, then go back to 'scallions'.

The farm that the problem is on is Farm 8. Thanks in advance for your help.

When i went back to look, I noticed that I have scallions under the harvested fields. All I can figure is, when I went back and had some crops that didn't look harvested, they really were harvested? I'll wait until the scallions are ready, harvest them, clear that part & plow it again, if I need to, and everything will be back to normal.

Thanks!

Hi Karlene :)

I visited your farm 8 and it shows some fields plowed, other harvested and other planted. But they appear/disappear while hovering the mouse over them.
You can delete all of them, reload the game and see if any field is showing up again. You have to do that, till only green is showing on your farm. Then you can plow and plant again.

Thank you, Mary for your speedy reply. :) I appreciate it!

1336382078 Tried to see if we are going to get a better system for planting and plowing. Have layer 3 rows, have largest combine, but the screen fills up telling about what I'm planting and what I plowing.
Do believe we don't need this, and maybe use that energy to get a light that shows like the trees does.
Since this is all I can do right now figure I would let you know what I think.
Just being able to do my own farms is boring but feel we could use the energy from some things to improve other things.
God bless and thanks for not just closing it up!!

Hi Chet,
Please go to your preferences and uncheck the box for Show coins and XP animation. Reload your game after you have changed and clicked the green check to save.

I have one patch of harvested field on my farm 13 that will not let me plow it or delete it or anything. What can I do about that. All my other farms are fine so far. TY

Hi skinni,
Try the yellow bulldozer if you are not already doing so, once you have clciked on it and it doesn't clear, reload and try again and see if it clears the next time.
If there are multipe fields on top of eachother then you have to do that several times until you're back to ground cover so you can plow a new field there.

losing coins when harvesting/plowing fields
 

I am losing coins when harvesting crops. Is this a function of where we are at so far in the new version? I get XP pts. although not sure if the right amount. But it definitely has eaten into my coins in a large way. So as of now am just leaving fields plowed and not seeding.

Hi steveinia,

If you were using a combine to get those crops you are charged for the plowing part as normal, plowing always costs coins.

no tools other than ax available to use

Hi,

Are you looking in your toolbox? If not check there for them please.

If they are not showing up in the toolbox it sound like that they are out on your farms somehwere so you'd you need to go find where they are on your farms and put them into storage so they show up in the toolbox.

Advantage
 

I'm seeing an advantage at this point. I'm not losing any fuel. About all i have an issue about is the graphics lines for planting or harvesting are not as defined. But being able to plant and harvest without using fuel is great. I'm using this as long as i can.

Keep working dudes

ML :)

have been reading through some of the helpful advice and noticed that there is still a link to clear memcache using flash, i know this doesnt work but some people may still be a little confused
Click HERE for instructions on clearing your browser's cache. Click HERE to clear your macromedia cache files.

Hi WendyP,
You are right the clearing macromedia needs to be removed. The Memcache is not a clearing of Flash, but clears data on the server, so I believe it can be used. The browser cache is definately still usable.

The game today will not let me harvest my crops. It say i need a 3x3 harvester which I have. What happening.

The game will not let me harvest my crops. It says I need a 3x3 harvester which I have. I played the game yesterday without a problems

Hi Terri,
I moved your post to the subject thread about harvesting. Is your tool in your storage? If not it needs to be in there to show in the tool box.

Crops going bad After I irrigate
 

My crops are suddenly going bad after I've irrigated them since the new platform.

Hi Dana,
The only thing we know of that can cause that is if the date and time on your computer are incorrect either now or at the time the work was done.

Irrigating
 

Can we Irrigate every 12 Hours or every 24 Hours??

Hi Dana,
Neither, it is 20 hours, which is a Farm Town day.

Crops??
 

I have 37 farms, Most crops are on 50x50 with 3 layers of crops.
Used to get 35,000 out of each section now only get 9700??
Other sections are 36x36 and used to get 18,000 now only get 5000??
With no way to get more farm cash or dollars, can we see what we can do about this shortage??
Thank you very much and God bless ya.

Hi Chet Evors,
I moved your post to the subject thread about crops.
First when you finish harvesting you will only see the basic amount of 1 each plot. If you restart your farms then the amount for fertilizing will add in. Not the way it should show but it does still give you all of them until the developers get around to working on the minor problems
I will guess that you usually hire out to have those farms harvested for you. That hiring out gives yoiu an extra box of the crop per plot. You are not getting those currently since you can't hire, so that is why your amounts are lower.

Crops
 

Hi Tad, will check that out, but do all my own work especially since we can't help anyone else.
Fertilize every 3 days, water daily or when able.
Since we did get do our farms been doing them daily but didn't seem to adding much to products.
Just wanted to make sure we would get as much as we used to.
Sorry to have bothered you, know your super busy.
At least you working!! hehe.
God bless and stay safe.

Hi Chet Evor,
Did you not hire out those farms before the change over? Then since yoiu can't do that right now you are getting less.

#133682078 Evidently you didn't need this but yes always did my own farm work and kept track as I kept growing my farms on delivery of my crops.
Will it get back like it was, seems like a lot of work and time for just a small amount.
Then used to getting more, 10 years of playing or more.
Thanks for such a speedy reply,

Hi Chet,
I can't answer that as I don't know what the developers are doing about the layering. As some have found a lot of that is not working the same currently.

#133682078
Sorry for bothering you, have to be pretty busy since we just changed over.
Seem like if farms are working, it should be just as before, especially with the amount of crops we are harvesting. Same size of farms, same rows but when done only getting 1/3 of the crops we used to get.
Thanks for keeping in touch and God bless ya Taz!

Hi Chet Evors,
I am sorry, but as I said before I can't answer that since you are layering. You will have to wait and see if the develoers can fix that after they get the rest of the functions added back in.

I'm freezing up whenever I start harvest/plow/plant

Hi Texans,
Please post any problems with the new version in the following Migration thread link for now:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=650134


Are your farms layered? The developers haven't said they have done anything with those as yet. Only thing I can think of right now is turn off any of the show items in references other than the work you are currently doing.

Hi lineking,
Have you been to sell anything from your storage? Possibly you sold some. We don't see if you have sold any individual items.
