I also feel that it is going to make it so much easier for XP to be gained unfairly. And before anyone says "well, what about the layering or stacking which gains XP unfairly," the Devs have known for a long time about this and have never stopped it. Please, please give us our old Sprinkler back. The next thing we'll be getting told is "Please use your harvested crops that are in Storage."

You're right in that the Devs do a fantastic job on here and its the most brilliant game. I am however failing to see what the big deal is about the so called "unfairly gaining XP points" really has any bearing on the game. As long as the Devs keep releasing new levels, which they always do, I dont really care how people on lower levels get their points. Its only a game at the end of the day for your own satisfaction. The simple fact is that alot of the higher level players are getting far more points through their facilities than they are through stacked or layered fields. Their only incentive is to get the crops for the facilities and xp points are not the driving factor, certainly not for me anyway. As this game is BETA its understandable that new players now are getting far more advantages than those of us that started when the game started and this doesnt bother me at all. Like you, I would love to see the two irrigators separated and have their own functions... who knows, maybe the devs might do this but either way, once we get to understand the full functions of the red irrigator, im sure we will see its brilliance!

did you try to harvest them?? earlier posts mentioned some retrograde behaviour of crops and the very first post(rauls) i believe says that they are working on this but the crops should be harvestable however no doubt the mods will know the precise answer but for now try to harvest the crops and all should be well

Was just about to have a big moan.
Went to a field of Potatoes that had been red sprinkled.
Field looked wasted, even though it said 13.5 hours to go before being wasted.
Could only get the harvest/plow tool to work (harvest only tool refused to harvest).
I checked the storage levels all through this harvesting/plowing process and the storage figure stayed at same reading, even when I finished farm, I then went to another farm then returned to this farm, checked levels again and IT DID INCREASE.

Yes there are bugs, but it does at least look like you do not loose your crops.

I bought the red sprinkler yesterday. I had just harvested flowers on two farms. I then used the red sprinkler on one farm. Today, the flowers are at the same growth rate on both farms. When I put the mouse over the flowers, it has an "F" but not an "FW". So is the red sprinkler not working at all or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help you may be able to give!!

Basically this is a free game. I'm very happy with any updates they give us. I know you have to spend farm cash to get certain items but it's your choice whether you buy them. You can have a lot of fun with the game even without the FC items. Keep up the good work developers.

Sandraneta · #8 Sep 02 2011, 10:17 AM

Yes, this is a free game of sorts, and yes, it is ones choice to play. It is also suggested by the developers that players make recommendations. That said, some of choose to play this free game, pay to play this free game AND make recommendations. Best regards.

Can someone please explain to me why 8 farms all harvested yesterday, planted at the same time, watered at the same time...........and replanted this morning (close to the same time) and ONE farm will not let me water.
So annoying. Glitches abound with this update. Much thought was put into the update, but not sure it was actually tried out to see if it worked for several days.

Hello,

There are some issues with the use of the red sprinkler, the devs are aware, i'm sorry but we will all just have to be patient while we wait for a fix. If you scroll up a few posts, other members have found ways to workaround the problem in the meantime. You might find them useful.
