So, I checked the timing of the updates after an upgrade that included a new farm, and the last two were 21 days... It's been 18, so maybe we will get some new toys this week to play with!!! I hope it will include new tools to help fill more of the facilities. I am sick of the game timing out because of all of the extra data needed to open the facilities without a tool to load from the facility manager!
Personally, Jerry, I find it easier to fill facilities from my farm than from the facilities manager. My computer is slow but if for any reason I have to visit all my farms, I now empty barns and fill mines from the farm locations too. (With a schedule, you only have to do 1-2 sets of mines per day, so it's not too bad.) The facility manager is much slower than the actual facilities and I only use it when it's absolutely necessary. I've decided it's faster to empty the facilities as I fill them than to do it through the manager too.
