I've been wondering this for a while but I have a feeling only the devs know the answer.

I try to avoid working on the same farm as others when I'm hired but sometimes it happens. When it does, I can see the other farmer(s) bopping around the farm. But are they actually working where I can see them or is it random? Sometimes when I move away from them so we're working on different bits they seem to follow me. idk, I know it doesn't really matter, I just wonder.

Hi Sqrl,
If they are jumping around the farm then they are working so as they click an area to work it then their avatar jumps to that area.

When you hire through the market, and you have 30 seconds to accept it. What does the yellow pop up mean again? Does it mean they haven't accepted the job within 30 seconds? If so, I hadn't got a notification saying they hadn't so I hired someone else, and it was a good minute before my first hire accepted.

Hi Alexandra

When you send a hire request, the label bacground for the avatar you are trying to hire changes to orange.

After 30 seconds, if they have not accepted the hire, the label background changes to yellow and you should receive a denied confirmation. If you didnt get it, then it is possible there was a problem sending and receiving data.

You can try to reload your game before going to market but if you get this problem several times, then it is better to contact Support to let them know.

A friend of mine , Nancy is also having the same problem that I said last week. We both can't be wrong here is what she wrote about it

I would like to make a suggestion about hiring in the market. When you click on someone to hire and the farmer doesn't answer the name turns yellow after 30 secs. It would be nice at that point the hire request is rescinded so that farmer can't accept after you've hired someone else.

Hi Alexandra_J,
If you want to make a suggestion please put it in the Suggestions section where they are organized by subject for the developers to see.

Hi Joyinlife,
I moved your post to the thread about hiring as it has nothing to do with the thread about buying, selling or trading.


Please first make sure you are on line in your game to see others in the job market.

Try changing your language to any other language through your preferences and click the green check at the bottom of the preference pop up. Close and reopen your farms, then change your language back to English (US), click the green check and then go see if you can see anyone in the market.


If that does not work please contact Support about this. To contact Support click on the link below, fill out the form and submit it. Be patient as it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for them to respond to you depending on how many tickets they have ahead of yours.
http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/settings2/support/

You will receive an automatic response email when you submit your ticket. That email will have your ticket number and a link for you to check the status of your ticket, so please do not delete that email. If you do not see the email then check your spam folder as sometimes those emails get classified as spam.

If you are having a problem getting responses from Support please read the information in the following link:

Default Hiring problems?

Are there any bugs reported that when you get hired to work on farms the only tools shown are your own and not the one´s who hired you?

That there is some problem getting access to the "employers" bigger tools?
