New Release -- April 28th, 2011

[HelenJS22]

Sorry, I need the silly question department again. I've looked for the answer and can't find it anywhere. The new release says that if we own the combine we can use it on other farms if we are hired. Does the other farmer have to own the combine too before we can use ours on their farm? I didn't think that was the case, but have been hired by a neighbour to try it out and am not being given the option to the use my combine on her farm

The only ones I have seen at the bottom are the ones that have sent "Ingredients" Not sure this is really needed as the names show on those in the gift box as well as the single gifts do. What needs to be put down at the bottom is a list of those who work your facilities, since we don't always get a reply on FB from them.

As always, just awesome. It's so refreshing to have the people working on the game actually listen to the people playing the game. :-)

Just love the upgrade thanks. Can we have a new tool that double fertilizes trees and flowers/crops and another tool that harvests plows and plants at once. Suggestions only of course..

It would have to be a multiple hire and then you pick your tool from the Extended Toolbox (where the facility manager is located).

Yes, it says not enough coins on my end

Instead of some fancy tele-transport (whatever that is), just make it so the employee can refresh the current farm if they desire. A small square the size of a farm square on the 9 farm diamond.

I don't always need to refresh between harvesting and plowing when I'm working for someone. If there's no glitches with harvesting not finishing, I usually don't need to.

Also, make the farm diamond refresh the current farm if you click on the current farm. The number of times anyone makes a mistake will certainly not be more than we already click on the wrong farm. Refreshing the current farm will save bandwidth when compared with the current method of zoning to another farm and back again.

Both farms have plenty of coins ... thanks anyway.

Yep I've hired multiple before and that's exactly what I did, but I have only been given the option of my old 16 x 16 harvester and plow.

Should I be able to have access to my new 5 x 5s on another neighbours farms, as well as my combine. I've completely restarted, and cleared the cache, but still only offered the option of 4x4s. Can't figure out what I've got wrong.

[HelenJS22]

UPDATE: The option shown is still my 4x4, but when I clicked to use it the 5x5 came up to be used.

Still haven't figured out if I can use my combine on the neighbours farm though, and don't have anything ready to be harvested to try it on my own farm.
