You will find, that, even if we are given the opportunity to purchase a 4th farm, it still will not be enough to grow the amount of crops necessary to produce every product, every day.

Well said.

Oh darn, they never wrote that in the FT by laws? Jeez, I hoped they had!

I haven't added all of them, like I said. Some of the ones I'd love to have, I just don't have the FT points for, therefore, I don't have them. But I would REALLY like to move my cows and such to one farm, so my visitors/workers don't get lagged all to Hades and back. Space has become a critical point, as you can tell by the multitude of posts elsewhere. This isn't news. It's something that's been said for over a year. (which is why they keep adding farms, I'm guessing!)

Space will always be a critical point with people in this game. As it is typical with humans, they're never happy with what they have. If the devs would allow everyone a 4th farm tomorrow, I can guarantee you it wouldn't be 24 hours until the whining would begin for a 5th farm. As you do in real life, utilize the space you have, and get rid of what you don't really need.

I wanted a 3rd and 4th farm before the facilities came out. I want one farm for decorations, one for crop patterns, one for a forest (I know you can plant under trees but didn't want the hassle), and one for crate or flower designs. Now I need at least 5 farms because I need one just for the facilities. But you are right people will always want more land in the game.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....

Going giddy with the last update...and the feed thing has been fixed...WOOT! For some reason that stopped working for me over the last few weeks.

Two words: SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

Been fishin' like I'm part of the Deadliest Catch team....

Haven't gone back to planting underneath things yet, but since I'm setting at level 80, I won't worry about it until new levels are introduced...

Ah, what a fun game this continues to be....

The purpose of the forum is to say what you like and what you don't like, not really to say I don't like complainers. The complainers are actually doing what they are suppose to do. They are saying what they don't like about the game, not what they don't like about what others say. You, on the other hand are saying what you don't like about what another person says, definitely not a purpose of the forum. And I, am probably also, trying to explain the purpose of the forum, and that is probably also not the purpose of this thread. The complainers belong and the praisers. We probably don't.

LOL! See what I mean? We don't even have a 4th farm yet, and somebody's already wanting a 5th farm.

I feel like we're sacrificing the looks of our farms to try and cram all the things we'd need to sustain even 1/2 of these facilities. I'd love to go back to having nice looking farms, but until we have a few more farms, that won't happen.

I still don't have many of them as I refuse to purchase coins, and for some reason, I'm not getting awarded the coins I should be, even after I file the complaints.

I'm itching for farm #4 as well, mainly for crops and trees. That said, the tightness of space did force me to be a bit more creative and rearrange my farms after this last update. And you know what, I like my farms better now than I did before, so being forced to be creative is a good thing in my book. I have all facilities except for the oil refinery and stone windmill (don't need them) and am managing OK (oh and by the way, I have yet to purchase any FC....got them all through offers and saved up FC from leveling up to level 80). I don't stress out about keeping the facilities at 100% production...just not possible with only one farm dedicated to crops. I am able to produce something in every facility every day right now and that's fine by me, even if I can't always produce every item in every facility every day.

Love this game! Keep up the good work devs. A 4th farm and new levels would be fantastic though.

Some new levels would be nice. With all the new ways to earn XP before you know it half the people playing the game will be at level 80. I am also not a fan of all the new facilities. We just dont have the space for them. Why couldnt the sandwich, pizza, and taco shop have been one shop? They all make like 5 items a piece and they all cost coins. Why not just make it one big fast food resturant or something. I feel the same way about the watermill and the windmill. Why cant one of them just produce both regular flour and corn flour?

I guess what I am trying to say is, its time for FT to start developing the existing facilities more. And start making some of these facilities that only produce one item, produce multiple items. Like I am pretty sure there will be a coffee grinder some time in the future. One of the existing facilities needs to be able to do that, instead of there being a new facility for it.

If you guys are afraid you wont make money off of it, just charge for the right to produce that item. Like if you created something like a general factory that produces, sugar, chocolate liquor, olive oil, corn flour and wheat. And you want to add peanut oil and ground coffee to it, just charge coins or FC to "upgrade" the facility to produce those items. It beats having to buy all these new facilities and then having to delete, sell, or store them when a nicer one comes along.
