You can get FC for free as well. Again, it is not unfair for them to require FC for premium items. They give us the game for free but you can be assured that it is not free for them to run the game. Server space costs money, developers don't work for free, and their are a million other little things that go along with running a game that cost money. They generously give us farm cash every time we level up and provide us with numerous opportunities to get much more FC for free. To date I have earned over 200 FC for free, if you are already buying FC getting another 200 or so for free should supplement nicely into what you are buying. It is also not required that everyone has every single FC item. That is a choice. If people want the items bad enough there are ways to get them!

I ran a server for a few years or so. To run it, it cost me money. I have to have internet to run it. I have to have electric to run it. I have to have a place in which I put it to run it. Now, do you think the internet, electric and landlord all let me have it for free. Think again.

Nice people would some times send me money that would help pay for all of that so I could kept it running

Wow, had forgotten about that, thanks for the reminder... I feel bad when I am selling and see that somebody is trying to hire me. Sometimes before I even sell anything I let them now I am selling my stuff not waiting to be hired, but they don't listen. Thanks again for reminding me of the little power switch.
Something else I want to know: Tree shaker and log chopper, do I still have to keep putting on storage and bringing out on every farm when I want to use it?
I tried to do like the Manure truck, but it would not work, anybody has another solution?

Thanks,

No, unfortunately, it does not. I think it would be nice if it did! I would love to see the fertilization include flowers and trees, then I wouldn't have to have so darn many trees!! You need at least 1000 of the apple and orange trees alone and that still won't let you max out your facilities that use apples and oranges.

Actually, rather than fertilizing the trees, I would like to see 2 products per tree instead of one. Then, 500 apple trees would give 1000 apples. But would definitely like to see flowers fertilized!

plowing can be tedious if you don't need the coin and XP. I always ask the harvesters that I hire if they want to plow too. The ones that say yes, great, the ones who say no, i just let it go and back to the marketplace. sooner or later i'll find someone to finish the plowing.....its not that big a deal. I don't like to plow and will usually let the person hiring know this and suggest that they hire someone who is lower in xps....

It definitely DOES cost money for this kind of stuff. In the Pre-Internet explosion, I ran a 4-line BBS (Bulletin Board System) that was free to everyone. It cost me a lot for 4 extra phone lines and the line switching equipment as well as the electricity to run it all 24 hours a day. In addition to that, there were things that needed replacing now an then. It was expensive for me but I enjoyed it and my BBS was on-line for almost 10 years. I don't mind paying for a few things here and there because I know there's no such thing as a "free lunch", as the old saying goes. Someone, somewhere has to do the paying.

The people who give us Farm Town do a remarkable job. They do provide for ways to earn FC if you can't afford to buy it which makes the game enjoyable for everyone.

People usually only go to the market place to get work or sell items so I am completely lost on this one. Can you clarify what the problem is? Is it a glitch or is it just something you noticed that was different?

I am guessing (because its happened to me a couple times) When he went to the market, in the chat box, the names of the farmers weren't appearing, just their chat dialog. Is this it? It usually happens to me when I load the market place too quickly from going back and forth to farms. Sometimes you gotta give it a chance to finish loading. I usually just refresh the marketplace. or exit farmtown and come back in. Or, if there aren't that many people, you can find them by the chat bubbles.

Yes, it does work like the manure spreader does, and the seeder does as well. I bought a seeder for each of my farms (way back when LOL) and have sold all but one. My only problem is remembering to click the green man before trying to use the "clone". - oh, and before I sold the other seeders, I tried it several times . . .

If not I think something new might have rolled out! I am going to run check it out!

There are some items that a neighbor can send to another - i have gone to the store and gifted a flower shop and a manure spreader to 2 of my neighbors. . .these items will have the "gift" button to the right of the "buy" button.

Just a tip, if you use the yellow hand to move the equipment to another farm you don't have to click on the green man.
