New Release -- November 12th, 2010

Thanks a billion, devs. Or what used to be a billion. It's mostly gone to upgrade farm seven. :^)

[Victorious Vivian]

Thank you Raul. I have a question though. Some of my neighbors haven't leveled up and still have gotten the new items. Is there any reason why some haven't gotten it? Just curious.

I don't know where to ask this. I can't find this info and am sure I am over looking it somewhere. I was wondering how much fuel it takes to run the tree chopper and how many trees the fuel chops down. Does it cost the same amount of fuel if there are 20 trees in the area you click on or only one tree?

Costs the same if you click one tree or 20 at a time. It will chop down all the trees you have..works best in 8x4 arrangement. Believe it's just one fuel tank for one click. I don't pay much attention anymore lol.

Oops was mistakenly thinking that I'd paid FT Cash for the 3/3 tools, so was hoping to use them at the MP. My mistake. So just harvested almost a rull farm of rhubarb and then plowed the farm. ... Oh, well, sold the rhubarb at the MP and got some needed FT Coins and also some Exp. Points for the plowing.
Going to have to decide, when I buy my $20 worth of FT Cash in December if I want to use the FT Cash for one of the tools or for a facility I'm thinking of and put the tools on the list for April next year.
Ah, decisions, decisions LOL Just like real life, hmm?

Personally I don't think you should be able to use the large harvesters and plowers when working for othersl. Trying to force us to buy dollars for these items. Can't compete at market when others have the use of these tools. How does everyone else feel about this.

I think that the majority of farmers will NOT have the fc tools to use. I don't feel that work will become an issue unless the one with tools wants to be greedy and not share or turn off the tools. With all the complaints that come in here about fc and how people feel that spending money for the game, I doubt thsi will mkae them buy the tools, so based on all teh complaints I see here, I bet most players have no or little fc tools

Well im disapointed only the FC tools can be used, but its STILL a great idea, even if i have any or not.
As an "employer" - granted i'll jump on someone saying they have a 4x4 before ill jump on someone else, - however that will help immensly on all those "crumbs" that always want to hire 2 to 5 ppl to work the same stinking farm, thus straining the servers and increasing the likeliness of timeouts for the workers.

Another benefit might be that the work goes faster than that individuals previous max speed while working, so if you end up hiring someone with a slow pc on connection
(the ones that make you grit your teeth cause they go so slow), that even they will have speeded up a bit with a 4x4.

Like i said it SUCKS only the premo tools are included in what we can use to work elsewhere, cause thats the biggest things i been wishing we could do since i started this game, but thats no reason to cry "foul".
It's actually a blessing almost.
It will make the person hiring more than 1 person per farm look bad for doing so, and also a resounding problem the devs may see in thier decision on not including the use of the 3x3 tools for other farms.
Let it play out...
I quit trying to find work at the market almost a year ago because ppl cant just hire 1 person.
It's not worth my time, and i always left right away if i saw another person there - even if it was pineapples....

Maybe if we scream loud enough the devs might reconsider, who knows?
