BBwolf
 

Is there any way we can get rid of the BLACK BOX in the middle of the screen, at least move it to the bottm of the screen, you cant even type a note to somebody and check your spelling as long as its up, that is the one thing that has bothered me for the past 5 years.

Vanilla
 

can we have vanilla for our crops

Vanilla is already a crop.

thank you :)

when l am doing trees etc the other things like flowers used to dim out and go when job done now it doesnt can l get it back please?

Click on the wrench icon at the top and make sure that the eye option is checked and either the dimmed or hidden option just under it is checked.

Edit: If you see the eye down in the bottom right corner, you can cycle through to see if you can find the setting you want.

I've noticed a significant LACK of spam in the forum lately and I can not tell you how much I appreciate that. Thank you mods and helpers for working to keep this website safe from those who pollute the forum with garbage.

Farmtown Feed
 

Since we've been given the ability to work neighbor facilities with just a few clicks I find that I need a decent Farm Town games feed more now than ever. Since the "old" one has not been reinstated, I started looking around FB and found that we have the ability to build our own customized list that works just as well as the old feed. It requires some fine tuning, but now I can't do without it.

I'm wondering if the mods or helpers could put together a "how to" for other players so that they can also take advantage of this awesome tool. I'd share mine, but we're not allowed to post links outside of the forum.

I moved you post to general feedback. Please send me a link to your list in a PM. I don't think your link will work for me, but I will take a look at it.

yes i agree with all your comments and i will be hosting best helper award in my blog around end year .

some notable helper/moderators is already the best . One of them is knightrider .I think they did a great job in the forum too .

Thank you, I just try to help those that need help so that they can continue to play the best game on Facebook.

Removing factory from facilities manger
 

Is is possible to remove my wool facility from the Facilities manger?
I have a issues with working the Quest, it never fails if I need something from a long term production like wool I end up having to wait 15 or 16 hours for it. Is there a way to isolate one farm from the manager?
Thanks aka Wildeye

You can go directly to the farm and click on the facility itself. There isn't any way to remove any facilities from the facility manager without removing the facility from your farms.

Thank you
 

Yes,
Thank you for all of the animals, buildings, and people that are more realistic than other farm games. Thank you also for letting us earn FC with quests. I will never be able to earn 2 for completing 8 in 7 days, but I'm fine with that. I do not have all of the facilities and do not want them. Too much time and work for this evening farmer--I'm a librarian by day and a farmer by night. And even though I do have a few suggestions, I won't mention them here.

The Facility Manager
 

By the way the Facility Manager is still a bit out of sync when I go thru it page by page.

My facility manager is in perfect sync all the way to the bottom of the list. If you use the scroll bar on the side only to click and not to grab the pointer sliding it then it stays in sync.

Farm Town Gifts
 

Why do the folks that I know do not play Farm Town keep showing up over and over again and again when I am selecting the Gifts in Farm Town?

I know that those folks do not play Farm Town and that I am only allowed to select from that list of 12 it appears. Therefore if I do not select one on that list it is because I do not want to send them a gift as they do not play Farm Town or I don’t want to send them a Farm Town Gift.

Therefore I suggest that if I do not select a person for a gift I would appreciate if you don’t keep showing that person again and again as I can only see 12 on that list. Because fairly soon I can select no one or maybe 1 person on that list. That’s when I forget it as that is way too much for me to bother with.

How long beta
 

How long is FarmTown going to be in the beta stage?
My understanding of 'beta' is;
To only be released to a select few beta testers to iron our bugs and only after a period of 'beta testing', where as many bugs as possible are caught, will it be releassed to 'the general public'

beta testing

Every game on FB is a "beta" game.Taking the beta off would not change anything.

That list is still compiled on FB end,they will either have to block the game,or unfriend you.

Alpha testing is to a specific or a few people to test to see if they can find major problems, then it is put into either open or closed beta and sent outside the company that made the program usually to the real world to find other bugs that needs fixed. This game is in open beta and as long as they keep adding New Releases to the game it needs to stay in beta. This was also found: Some software is kept in perpetual beta—where new features and functionality are continually added to the software without establishing a firm "final" release.

Like Whosyou? mentioned taking it out of beta isn't going to change anything.

I moved your post yesterday about this to the Help & Support thread about gifts and answered you.
Here is a link to that thread. You post and my answer are on the last page.

Shortage of Silver Nuggets
 

All of a sudden I have a silver shortage. Can FT increase production of silver nuggets please. Thank you.

It would be best if you put your suggestion in the suggestion section so the developers can see your suggestion, you can't start a new thread, this way they can keep the suggestion section easier to read, but you can put it in the thread that is closest to what you are suggesting and if you don't see one that is close, you can put it in the thread My idea doesn't have a thread.

Loading/Enqueueing Black Box Annoying!!
 

This had disappeared for a while, but it is back with a vengeance now. It slows down working on farms considerably!! Is there any hope of losing this silly black box forever??? Would also be GREAT to lose it when fishing, too, of course.

yes it is annoying it keeps popping up and I sometimes get knocked out of the farm I am working on, surely it is not needed, plz do away with it once n 4 all.

Not sure if this will help and I don't harvest much any more, but you might try turning off items you have no interest in. I have found in the past that by turning off buildings and such, loading does become faster. If you're only harvesting crops, turn off everything else and I believe this may speed up the loading process when moving from farm to farm. Trees are especially a nuisance.

The way I speed that stupid box up is like go ahead and harvest the different things (like one of each that's on the farm) then you click and shift the farm, so the farm goes "invisible", but don't let go of the click... this lets the black box register all the different items REALLY fast (well faster than if you sit and stare) then once it's 100% loaded thing you can go about your work no problem :)

Gotta say, my facility manager has been outta sync for over a week.

2 Suggestions for Developers:

Can we have a check box for each of our factories that we own multiples of where those that we check will either be included or not included in the 'start all' and 'load all' option. Like, I have 3 sawmills and sometimes I'd like to be able to only start 1 and not all 3. Since 2 of them still may have orders in them, I can't use the 'active only' option.

Also, in Services that load the Teddy Bear and Rubber Duck in, if I uncheck it in the Toy Store it goes ahead and unchecks it in the Baby Store also. These Services should not be connected in our loading/starting procedure.

With the Teddy Bear and Rubber Duckie is probably like the factories, it goes by the item, when you uncheck an item it is unchecked in all factories or service facilities which ever one you was working with.

You should put your suggestion in the suggestion section so the developers can see your suggestion, you can't start a new thread, this way they can keep the suggestion section easier to read, but you can put it in the thread that is closest to what you are suggesting and if you don't see one that is close, you can put it in the thread My idea doesn't have a thread.

I just tested this and when you uncheck in the toy factory it does not uncheck in the Baby Store. Not sure why it would have been unchecked in the Baby Store for you but they are not tied together.

I tried it in mine when I posted my post and it did uncheck both, but I just tried it again and it wouldn't uncheck both. I don't know why it did it that one time

Cost of meat
 

If I understand correctly every batch of meat costs $xx plus 5 fuel.
A unit of fuel sells for 1200 coins. This makes the cost of the meat very expensive. Am I not understanding something?

A fuel can sells for 1200 coins. Each fuel can makes 300 fuel. So each fuel is only worth 40 coins, so the cost of fuel to get a batch of meat is 200 coins plus the cost of the meat.

which order did you uncheck them in?
maybe
unchecking Toy Store, unchecks it in the Baby Store also
but
unchecking in Baby Store DOESN'T uncheck Toy Store

... i've seen weirder things happen

When I tested I went both directions and neither effected the other.

Baits
 

Please increase the production of seawater and fresh water bait in the fish farming plant. All the bait is taken when we load the bait in the fish and tackle shop. The fish farming plant does not produce enough bait to fully supply the fishing boat or the Fish and tackle shop.

You need to put your suggestion in the Suggestions section where the developers will see it instead of in the Feedback section. You can not start a new thread there but you can reply to an existing thread.
You do not have to fill the bait in the Fishing Tackle Shop. All you need to do is uncheck the boxes in that facility for the baits and then you can build up your bait for use in your waters.
