By the way, I always ask first before harvesting trees.

I just tested this out & found it to NOT be true for me....was hired to do crops only, & went back to my farm & harvested a tree; no problem.

Thank you for these great additions, changes and upgrades. I particularly like the storage option you added recently.

And also, thank you for putting this information on the forums and not making everyone listen to a podcast, or some other annoying thing. You place your news and updates where it is easy to find them and easy to access them.

Cheers!

Thanks so much for the upgrade..so love the Autumn trees...and to be in control of if our trees are harvested, or not, is simply the best... ...more levels would be the icing on the cake..

Love the improvements! Especially love the Autumn tree! Farm Town is phenomenal!

whats going on with the pts? if you dont stay at the farm you harvest and plow till every single plot has been done and all that is left are the plowed plots then you loose all of the pts. this is very frustrating.

I don't know what you mean about being frustrated by having to stay on a farm until every
single plot has been plowed. Um does that mean that if you wanted to leave the farm
before the job was done you don't get the points?
So let me get this straight does that mean that you actually want to leave before the job that you are working at is done? Like you want to leave before the job that somebody
hired you to do is done?

I get frustrated when I hire people and they don't finish the job. They only go for the amount of points they want and then leave. What's up with that? If I did that at a real job
I would soon be fired

No, he is speaking of once having done all the plowing/harvesting the owner needed he can then leave without having to wait on the character to finish. You can still do this by hitting the refresh button in your browser instead of the "Go Home" button in FT. If you hit refresh in the browser you do not lose points.

Sometimes they have crashed and all the work they did harvesting that was unpaid at the time of crash remains on your screen.Most harvesters do the higher paid crops first for this very reason.So instead of getting cross with them please feel sympathy for the work not paid and no chance at the plough because of the crash.
It happens to me whenever a scan runs on my machine so I could have been an "offender"

Hi, I always stay on the farm until all finished. I never get to join in the plowing because I have to wait until my avatar catches up to all the fields that I harvested or plowed. If I go really slow and stay right with the avartar, I am getting shorted on the harvest unless I am the only one working. While all others are hired to plow I am still waiting until the avatar vistes each field and even though the farmer send me the request to plow and I accept. I cannot do anythhing until the avatar catches up and then all the coins and xpc start shooting upward. What am I doing wrong.
I cannot tell you the fun I have had and still am with this game. It is so wonderful. Thanks. Jan

I don't know why you wait, when I am harvesting and then get hired to plow I don't have to wait for my avatar to catch up, my coins automatically add up. If I don't get to plow after harvesting I click on "play" NOT go home or back to the marketplace....by clicking on Play all my coins are exactly as they should be.
