I am so with this idea. I have every square pixel full of crops I need for the production stuff, and the production facilities are squeezed in around all the edges as best as I could. Like so many have said already, could we have a fourth farm, prettttty please???
Also, I think if you could put a description in the store of what each facility does and what it takes to do it's thing, that would be really helpful. For example, I have never bought the semi truck because I have NO idea what it's good for. What does it do, exactly, anyway???
And the oil refinery, does that fill automatically and you harvest it? Or?? A bit of description would go a LONG way towards making us 'not so rich we can afford to buy what seems possibly trivial stuff' folks more likely to buy such things. Thanks!

With the semi truck, you can purchase hot dog sausage, pepperoni, ham, chicken and meat for anywhere from 350 - 500 coins and 5 fuel units per 5 units of meat (except hot dog sausage - 15 units). They are delivered at a rate of 5 units per hour (except hot dog sausage - 15) and you can order as much as you like, provided you have coins and fuel. You can then either sell them for a profit or use them in facilities. This way you are not dependent on neighbors for them.

Thanks for that description, Steve. I did notice, just this am, the little question mark thingy that explains stuff. So I did read that there, but I honestly don't recall seeing those there before today. Maybe I failed to notice...

And yes, being able to order stuff is a godsend, since it is almost impossible to get what you need from less than attentive neighbors who keep sending ketchup and flour and stuff you can make yourself, but then won't send what you need in any kind of consistent manner. I sure wish the developers would give us some way to get ALL the things we need for production that we simply can't beg, plead, whimper or even arm twist our neighbors into giving us. I hate to think what my neighbors must think when every time I send a gift, I always tell them what I need in return. When I don't though, I not only don't get production necessities, but I also get bunnies, dogs, potted plants, and all that other unnecessary **** that was kinda cute back at the start, but after about 500 of them, really aren't.

I have 50+ neighbors, and maybe 5 that will actually send what I ask for. That kind of ratio makes depending on the neighbors a very annoying part of this game. I actually think it is kind of thoughtless and very close to rude of the developers to put us at the whimsical (edited the actual word I would prefer to use) nature of neighbors who don't seem to care.

I wish they sold the semi truck for coins instead of farm cash. I have 30 neighbors but probably only 7 of them even play FT. Of those only 4-5 ever send gifts.

Hi , I just purchased mine. I obtained the Farm Cash by doing "Application of the Day" and surveys. I guess it is either that or buy the Farm Cash.

If you have neighbors that no longer play the game, why dont you see if they can send it to you? Recently thats how I have been getting my FC facilities. I've got several neighbors who keep jumping to the highest level without playing the game and they are collecting FC for it. I just get them to use their FC to send me stuff. Ask your friends who no longer play, how much FC they have. Chances are one of them has enough to buy it and send it to you.

I happen to be one of those who maximized levels early and now my problem is I have boocoo coins on hand but no farmcash to buy the new items in the facility area. Is there any way to trade my coins for farmcash? Else I will never be able to utilize the facility items that demand farmcash...please help.

Unfortunately these are people who are pretty low in the levels. So they wouldn't have enough FC.

Just a little FYI for you, you can only order a total of 7 days worth at one time.
