OFFICIAL Hiring and Bonus Chest

[Jessesmom113]

Tonight I hired a farmer to do all jobs on my farm. I was occupied with something and was away from my computer for quite a while. I checked on him periodically and he was very slow but was progressing through the farms. The last time I returned he had left a message that all the farms after farm 20 had "disappeared" and he could not use my log truck with chainsaw on the last farm he did. I had hired him with permission to use my tools and fuel. He was taking an extraordinarily long time doing the work that he did complete and I wondered if there was a time limit to complete jobs. He was on my farms several hours. I m[ght have been a little irritated by that but as I said I was busy in another room. I did check his progress from time to time. My user ID is 1375055654 Build No: 630

Hi Jessesmom,
No there isn't a time limit that we know of. If he sat without doing anything for a while he may have timed out, but all he would have to do is reconnect.
As far as the tools he may not have been able to use the log truck on that farm if there weren't any trees on that farm to chop. Any trees on that farm may have needed the shaker and he didn't understand that. He would be handed the tools needed for each farm one after the other as he completed each type of work.

three time today I was hired n the market and each time I was knocked off and I thought I would be asked to go back but there was NO pop up to say did I want to return to the farm to complete the work and there used to b before why has it been removed.

Hi Iceberg,
It has not been removed. However if you are suddenly disconnected or freeze then it doesn't know to send the pop up. The pop up works if you leave a job before it is complete and go to your own farms within 10 minutes.

I just harvested and plowed over 40 farms after being hired in the market. I didn't get any exp point for the plowing, just for fishing.

Hi wranglerjane

When you fish, you get 100% of the selling price and also 50% of what you fish.
Then in the bonus chest you can receive some xp for fishing.

I can tell you that when you started working you had 47.843.127 XP and when you finished, you had 48.415.554 that means you got 572,427 XP

Edited to Add: I visited the farms you were working on and they are all harvested not plowed.

Tks Taz 4 getting back to me.

Additionally, though this may be extremely unpractical to do, I would love to have a feature that would select all the farms that have trees ready to chop.

Hi TheBigMama,
I copied your post from suggestions to answer the second part of it.
You already have a way to select all farms that have chop trees on them. In the drop down list you have specific jobs and one of those is Hire to chop. Select that, then click on Show Work, then click the All button and that will select only those farms that have chop trees.
You can do that far any type of job you want to hire for or you can choose the Hire for multiple jobs and then select only the jobs you want them to do then again click Show Work and All to select the farms for those jobs.
