I just wanted to say I completed my first quest, pretty simple just make some Milk and then some cheese, but now I have to wait 85 minutes before my next quest is unlocked. All my fields are ready to harvest, my facilities are full, I am afraid to do anything in fear that if I harvest or work my facility I will need what I just did. That is what happened last night when they released it. So now I don't know what to do I guess I will go to the market and see if find some work.

thank you

No, you don't need to keep them empty. You just need the room to start the required number of batches necessary for the Quest. If it says to start one, open the facility can click the Start Batch button, NOT, NOT, NOT the Start ALL or ALL button. If you need to start an item that takes 8 hours to produce and you start 8 batches, the quest will require 64 hours to pass before it will show that the step is finished. If you start 1, because that is all that is required, then the Quest Manager will require 8 hours to pass before it will show that the step is finished. If you are at 100% in the facility, you will only need to wait until you can start the required number of batches, and then the time it takes the number of batches you start to finish.

The key will be start only the number of batches you need for the quest to keep the time down. Once the Quest Manager records that you started the required batch, you can go back and fill you facilities to 100%. It has NOTHING to do with where the batched you start are in the production Que of the facility.
