Next thing was to get to that level 80. I really didn't want to get there though because I couldn't imagine what "life" would be after 80.

That's when they started adding facilities. No way to stop now - had to have them all... and now I see there is much life after 80!! New facilities, new challenges and now 4 farms!!

The only thing I can wish for now would be the ability to move my animals to one of my other farms. I guess I could start all over and build them back up on another farm... that would be yet another challenge. It just doesn't stop. I do think they need a huge warning stating that this game not only could be addictive - it IS addictive!!! I'll admit it, I am a FT Addict!

LOL.... that sounds just like me!

I was there for a few short weeks and soon found out how hard it is. My friends on Myspace were game players that I collected from this forum. I told them what I was going to do (part of it was an ad that was wanting to scan my computer when visiting MySpace) and one followed me back to FB and remained friends. This was during a time when my Facebook FT became boring, as there were no updates with the game. Now with the factories, I like how it keeps me busy thinking about what I need to plant and always something to harvest most days with the 4th farm.

I feel that the devs are taking more control with a vision in their minds to take this game to a higher plain.

New levels would be a good addition! LOL

I completely agree with you on this, and I will admit I am a FT addict also. I play before I get ready to go to the work in the morning, at all breaks at work, and then for a bit when I get home from work. It's feels like a holiday when anything new is added to the game.

You are more than welcome to post a neighbor request in our Facebook Neighbor thread in the social forum

I think you'll lose players over this one - not me, b/c I have enough neighbors (or did, when I bought the third farm) - some of my neighbors (solid players, too) don't have enough neighbors & don't want strangers as friends. As for me, I was wondering what to do with so many accumulated coins - now I know!

I've been playing this game for almos a year, and there ae no signs of wanting to give it up! In fact ...I'm in the process of remodeling farm 1 and ...setting up farm 2. Thing is, it's not about leveling up for me, it's about ...playing. I enjoy making things lovely. Sure, I like all the updages, mostly because I know they'll be waiting for me, when I'm ready for them. As to the neighbors problem, well, there are ways in Facebook to get your neighbors, as friends, yes ...but yo can "isolate" them into a group that can't see very much about you, or what you do. I might say that I have 114 (I didn't think that was even possible!) neighbors, and I have *never* had a problem with any of them, ever. I've used our neighbors thread, too, and had excellent luck so I've found getting neighbors quite easy, and getting to know them fun. Great job, devs, on all things, although ...I do wish you hadn't removed the mother and child statue/fountain from the store! I know, it was probably a seasonal item ...but so is the FT pumpkin, and it's still there! Ah, well.

Sorry there is no way to do that.

That is always the claim "you will lose users" and it never happens. People seem to want to use that as a way of trying to get what they want and it doesn't work.

". . . pulling you in." That really describes it. I started as we all do, planting a few crops, just trying the game to see what it was all about. Then I looked at some of the other farms and realized one can actually make a virtual farm layout in any of a variety of ways. Knew I wanted fields, a pasture for cattle, a small orchard, an upslope area with pines and this led to a place for sheep (small pen at first). My first house was the tiny one which I put in an area next to the pasture. But living adjacent to the cow pasture and dairy shed -- in a real farm, not a good choice. So I "worked" a lot of other peoples' farms to add land and make a place for the log house "uphill" above the fields and pasture. For a while that was a big goal. The upslope area still didn't look right. Needed big rocks along with more pines, so, as I mentioned, the boulders became an objective.
What keeps me "in the game" now is that one of these days I'll get more ideas for farm #3, and maybe the developers will come out with some new buildings (simple farm/rural town ones) -- functioning facilities or not.
Only at level 65 now, but that's fine since there's nothing that is a "must have" right now that requires more levels. Of course, in future, I'm sure there will be.

Looked at your farms, MaryLouW, and your layouts are great. Really like the way you've done your Industrial Way.
