When moving the trees that actually get chopped down into stumps is soooo easy! This would make it sooooo nice! Thank you for your consideration!

I find it harder to move the stumps of the smaller trees. I think that this would make it hard for some of the more physically challenged players. People with eye problems, arthritis, and other medical problems might quit playing if things were mad even smaller.

Just a thought.

they should leave the xp as is to maintain some balance for those that aren't fanatics

There is only one farm that has a neighbor requirement, and that is #3. And even then, you can buy that with FC. The rest of the farms are purchasable with coins, albeit a LOT of them. Farms 4, 5, and 6 have bankrupted me over and over again, and I'm barely starting my upgrades for farm 6. If you are already past 3 farms, your point is invalid and does not apply.

It would be nice to not be at the highest level automatically every time new levels come out but I think that it would have to be a huge change in the XP to do this. There are so many people that are in the 2 & 3 million XP range that it would be almost impossible.

It's not an overnight solution, something that they would gradually implement as they add levels. Assign max xp between Levels 135 and 150 to 50k/Level, between Levels 150-175 at 75k/Level, between Levels 175 and 200 at 100k/Level. By the time we get to have Level 200, we will probably be up to 8 farms, maybe 9, which wouldn't make it staggeringly hard to do, but it would slow down the amount of people maxing out their levels with new upgrades.

Just like you can't do anything when you are waiting for all of your clicks to add up when you are filling your own facilities. Just make sure all of the +3 xp things have been counted then click "take me there".

I have never been able to work on neighbors facilities when I visit them. Is this possible???

Hi, you cannot work on them when you visit your neighbours. You have to click on the posts asking for help on your home page.

Today I had it full up, and topped it up a couple of times after neighbours worked in my facilities. When I went to market I worked out that I had sold over 3 million coins' worth of goods just from this facility. The t-shirts alone brought in over 1 million. So they should, when they advertise such a fun game!!!! lol

By contrast, the sewing mill is very poor value. It relies on sheep and llamas, paid for at a high cost, and mulberry trees (as well as cotton). I have found it impossible to max out the textile mill with anything except cotton, as it just takes too much. I have 200 sheep and llamas, and about 300 mulberry trees, and that still doesn't do the trick. With all that, I would be pushing it to get a million coins' worth of goods each day from this facility.

The wine cellar is also an excellent one, and jewelry is fantastic.

The oil refinery is disappointing in money value but great in convenience. It's good to have unlimited fuel.

Keep up the great work and please, please, give us value for money when we buy facilities with farm cash.

I was on another thread about " if i could only buy one facility with FC waht should it be? " Pretty much the out come was the wine cellar. The packaging facility is better? Doesn't the ink facility take alot more planting?

8. Can't work on a neighbour facility issue: This has been corrected according to most feedback we have received. Also, some users had the 'Farmer Friends' tab empty on the send gifts page, this should have been fixed as well.

9. The farming issues when Decorations were hidden should be fixed now. Hiding fences should work much better now as well.

11. Paper Mill (coins): Allows you to produce Paper, Cardstock and Paperboard out of the Pine log Piles you get by chopping your Pines.

No real problem since it DOES drag eventually.

I cannot stress this enough. I have 200 seep & 200 Llama and just over 200 mulberry trees. I max out my production in cotton and mulberry all the time. I am currently working on stocking up on sheep and Llama wool so that I can get the production maxed out. Once it is maxed out you should be able to keep it that way or almost maxed as long as you restock as often as possible and make sure you collect wool as soon as it is ready. I have done the same with my yeast, meat, chicken, eggs, milk, and any other item that is hard to get...like cheese! Make or order as much of that stuff as you can everyday and then don't use any for 3 or 4 days. You will find that it adds up fast and then you can max things out and then be able to keep it loaded up fairly well.

You are sooo right here SpeedMonkey.... I took your advice and did just this..... wow has it ever helped..... I have stockpiled all kinds of stuff when i was off FT during my surgery and a few days after I did log in to just harvest my animals and stuff.... I stocked up on all those ingredients and then slowly did the other things you need often like flour, tomatoes etc. this has been just the best thing to do.. I will load all my ingredients storage and see how much of what things i have then decide what i need to plant... just doing this i am able to max out my facilities twice a day... I have a list of neighbors that live in diff time zones and are online at diff times so this way I catch them all offering them a full load to work with... they love this and do the same now...... we have quite a little community going with each other....

[SunnyD]

is anyone having trouble moving the "big bulldozer" today?? i tried the yellow hand, tried just clicking on move and tried clicking on delete fields , none worked.. had to put it in storage and then move it to my sixth farm to use it today... no problems yesterday....i did check the first post in this thread to see if something has changed.. may just keep it in storage actually..........it is easy to use that way. not having to go back to the farm I keep it on is great..... LOL
