New Release -- January 21st, 2012

[Hornyroo]

I have to say i like the quest idea.. but it has one major hang up.. the products we send to the facilties should be the first ones processed through, not the last. I means we either have to keep our facilties empty just in case we need them, or beg our friends to work endlessly to keep the products flownig through fast enough to complete quests. Either outcome is not good for long term playing as we'll either have nothing left in storage to advance coins and xp, or well be so sick of begging and logging in and out of extra accounts we will just give up. I think this is detrimental to the survival of this game and I would really love to do the quests, really is such a small change gonna kill anyone?

There seems to be a misunderstanding, whats already in a facility is irrelevant, if you start ALL or start 30.. you will have to wait till the ALL or 30 are done for the quest to complete. However, if you start them as single items (if you need 5, then start 1 batch 5 times) you'll find you wont be waiting... except for the normal processing time

Ok, what I would like to know is what do the numbers in the black circles mean, just thinking about what Rob said above, does that mean the one with 10h mean those items will be ready in 10 hours? I think I can say that the ones with the green check marks are done... Any place we can go other than here of course to get this info, is it going to be posted soon or we just going to figure it out as we go?

the number in the black circle means how long till ALL whats needed is complete, so for 5 items that take 2 hours each, should have 10h in the black circle

i don't see the answer to the ? if we need to keep facilities empty so we can start just for our quests??? if all my facilities are full -- as they usually are, do i need to wait till they empty to start an item for my quest or will any that are produced after i open the quest count??
thank you

I just wanted to say I completed my first quest, pretty simple just make some Milk and then some cheese, but now I have to wait 85 minutes before my next quest is unlocked. All my fields are ready to harvest, my facilities are full, I am afraid to do anything in fear that if I harvest or work my facility I will need what I just did. That is what happened last night when they released it. So now I don't know what to do I guess I will go to the market and see if find some work.

No, you don't need to keep them empty. You just need the room to start the required number of batches necessary for the Quest. If it says to start one, open the facility can click the Start Batch button, NOT, NOT, NOT the Start ALL or ALL button. If you need to start an item that takes 8 hours to produce and you start 8 batches, the quest will require 64 hours to pass before it will show that the step is finished. If you start 1, because that is all that is required, then the Quest Manager will require 8 hours to pass before it will show that the step is finished. If you are at 100% in the facility, you will only need to wait until you can start the required number of batches, and then the time it takes the number of batches you start to finish.

The key will be start only the number of batches you need for the quest to keep the time down. Once the Quest Manager records that you started the required batch, you can go back and fill you facilities to 100%. It has NOTHING to do with where the batched you start are in the production Que of the facility.

I have held my temper as long as I can. I am about to blow a fuse. I have been a contented player for years and have had ONLY good things to say about this product and it's makers. But enough is enough!!!!! I have had it up to my eyeballs with these stupid popups telling me my progress on the belts that I achieve. I DON"T CARE about the progress. All I know is I press all my "start all" buttons quickly and cannot get two more facilities until all 8 items in the previous facility start transmitting popups. I get MAD and close the facility manager before I finish because I do not want to see the popups any more. I even went to a neighbors farm today to harvest their crops and the **** popups started appearing while trying to do my work.

Why can we not have a "check box" switch in the preferences drop down menu that allow us to turn off these irritating announcement that we could care less about. You say, well it is only until you reach 6th Dan. I say and then they will release another 25 facilities to produce hundreds more of the idiotic announcements.

ENUF!! is ENUF!!

I have to agree here ... AGAIN ... Would you please listen to these pleas to get rid of the pop ups on the facility manager. It is absolutely relentless when we are trying to fill our facilities; sometimes in a hurry, and the pop up won't stop coming. For every single product in a facility it sends a popup. As Mcdaddie says, WE DON'T CARE!! and for the very few that we do care about, by the time it comes around we are so furious that we click it off without accepting it too.

Not only are the popups relentless, but there are some neighbours out there who seem to think that it's a really good idea to accept them all and so there is an unending stream of their requests for a bonus on our facebook pages.

The must be another way to deal with this. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO GET RID OF THEM !!!!!

sometimes it can take that if you have like 10 items each at 6 hours per item.... that would indeed take 60 hours to complete that
