You don't accept the gifts, you keep them in the gift requests. Then accept them when needed.

I am referring to the gifts sent daily by neighbors... the ones which I can open and accept, or exchange. I have them ready to "exchange" for something new if and when that happens.

Thank you thank you thank you. I just found was discovering that when I went to my storage that my last sort option was saved. This is cool thank you. So I thought I would test out the new facility manager and see if the option for all farms was enabled. It is OMG this is nice. I did find one thing though. Not sure if it is a learning curve on my end and is WAD or if maybe it is a bug that still needs to be worked out. If you select All Active Facilities on all Farms and you do a Store All before you Open and work the facility, if that facility has nothing pending it will vanish and you have to go to that farm to reopen it and work for it to visible again. It list all my multiple farms and list which farm they are.
Overall very nice Kudos to the Devs.

thank you
Doc

The key word here is "Active" and means all facilities that have production. If a facility has 0 pending and 0 completed then it is no longer active. For this reason I use the second option which is all facilites on all farms rather than using the active ones.

I also have 6 dairy farms, 6 dairy barns, 6 wool sheds and 6 chicken coops. That way I am able to keep up with the demand for cheese and eggs. I am fussy with the gifts that I receive and I love the fact we can exchange them so I normally change everything to cows, hens and goats to fill up the barns and coops. The wool sheds are easy because you can buy your animals. It doesn't take very long to get enough cows, hens, etc when you exchange the gifts. I have a ton of neighbors that are excellent gift givers. Thank you neighbors! I also have 2 pig sty's and fill them up with exchanged gifts. I find that 2 pig sty's are enough to fertilize all 8 farms particularly since they don't all need it at the same time. I love this game and these forums are very useful and get all my questions answered. So once again thanks!

I so loved the updates as per usual! And happy to see the facilities manager is fully working now! Nice The only thing I wish, when I bought the fork lift.. was that it would create a One button to Store them all! not just 1 button per factory. It is a bit quicker but a ruling button would be even better

Thanks again

I second this!~ A Super Forklift! Even if it's a FC upgrade it would be worth it!!! SO nice to have the facility manager fully functional - thank you, Devs.

I would not buy the forklift just because it still required attention to every facility. However... a super duper fork lifter might be worth considering.

You know that the devs will require the purchase of the first one before any Super Dooper..... like the Manuer spreader and other tools

I hope this is not a bug, but when I upgraded farm 8 to the full size of 24X24, using farm cash to do so, I really got a farm of 26X26. I hope this is not a bug because I have many trees on the new land. However, I did not see this as an addition to new release.

If all the patches of plowed land are placed edge, you will have more patches than the stated farm size.

For instance, the 24x24 will actually yield 32x32 patches.
