i didn't know that i've only had to mark everything once. that will save a lot of time and hassle! *i'm lazy* lol

Sally & her e-farmer tool
 

Her Message: sally: hire me pls! i use the ******** tool from (web site removed)

This person is really annoying.
*You cannot hire her
*You cannot ignore her
*You cannot report her

She pops in, drops that message and pops out a million times a day! Just long enough to drop that message into the Market.

How Annoying!

If Slashkey is the owner of this site and tool they need to put it in out tools for farm cash or get rid of this annoying person.

Slashkey is not the owner of this tool. They have tried many times to stop this but they use multiple accounts and as soon as one is blocked then another pops up. There isn't anything that Slashkey can do to stop this. You will just have to ignore them.

I have the same problem. It has been off for some time now. It is extremely difficult - close to impossible - to reset manually to get it aligned again.

the dark blue Start / Store All buttons for each facility are the ones that get lost with the out-of-sync error. each facility in the manager has about 1 or 2 pixels too many rows now and so each page moves those buttons further off the screen.

I have this same problem when I'm going through my facilities page by page and it is very annoying. I have the start all tools but there are times I go through them page by page to start just what I want to start.

Exactly! Eventually to the point that they are difficult to click on.

how do I love thee?
 

Farm Town how do I love thee?

10 train carriages work all friends' facs in one go
Search in fac manager finds items for me
Farms change colour when worked
Cash for working quests
Eye hides items not needed for a task

That is just off the top of my head. I am sure that I have forgotten loads more.
Thank you developers and also mods. I love this game.

Facility Manager
 

In the Facility Manager every day I click on every Dairy Shed, Chicken Coop, etc. that I have to processes those animals. I also after that close those and then go back to the Facility Manager to make sure that I processed it as I could see if some were processed as those always said ready in so many minutes. If so I knew that I processed it, otherwise I would click again as I missed it before. That insured that all were processed.

Today I couldn’t do that, as over 80% were still empty and showed nothing. Therefore if I clicked on it, I got the message ‘no animals to process’. There were no messages of ‘ready in xx hours’. Therefore I thought I didn’t process it before, however, as I always would have done, I clicked on it again anyway as that is the only way I insure that I process everything.

I would like that to return in that Facility to the way it was yesterday, when I can check everything, Thanks

Hi!

We have an open thread about this in H&S in the following link

http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=599358

Could you please post there and give the information about your farm link and your WFnumber?

Farm Buildings Factory
 

I'm a farm boy and love everything about Farmtown. Have noticed though that the Farm Building Factory is quite an Oak Lumber hog. I added two new sawmills and still not keeping up.

"Calculating Ingredients Importance"
 

i can't sell on the market because this message won't go away....

Hi!

Try the memcache link in my signature where it says AQUI to clear the game memory. You'll see a list of unsettings, close that window and the farm if it is open. Then clear your browser cache and close it. Reopen and try again.

Maintenance in FT
 

It would be nice if the developers could post something on Facebook to show on our HOME page a day ahead of when they are going to do a Maintenance an if possible the amount of time it would be down to players.

Luckily today I had stuff ready but it was long term stuff so was still good when I was able to get back in again!

There are times I do plant 8 hr or 12 hr stuff the night before an so the 8 hr would have been bad by the time it came back up again.

PLEASE CONSIDER DOING THIS! Thanks

The only way the developers could post on Facebook is if the developers was friends with everyone that plays Farm Town.

How were they able to post the 'updates' on FB a long time ago then??? I used to get them on my home page an even in email an then they quit doing it.

THEY could do a 'generic' Farm Town Maintenance alert post! Like Zynga does with their games.

It was an unscheduled maintenance, they had to shut down without notice before the glitch with the animals made things worse. Normally, you may have got notice.

Don't the developers use their page, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Farm-...14745418566392, to notify users? If someone joins/likes this page, they will see it on their news feed.

As has already been stated this was an unscheduled maintenance, so there wasn't any way for them to notify anyone before it happened.

Aren't animals and buildings one of the very first and fundamental elements of the game? Part of me hopes they accidentally broke it by changing stables to be coin purchase instead of FC, but somehow, I don't think that's the case.

I like the message in red text as the game loads and think that would suffice as an area to announce future, planned maintenance. A newsfeed message is probably going to be missed, as rarely as they notify us.

I seem to be having problems with watering & tree maturity times now. Anyone else sensing this? My super animal sheds lost still have no animals - of course the ones I paid hard cash for would be the ones still effected :(

Many people were effected, but will take a few days for everyone to be restored.

complain, complain, complain....get a life!

thanks for the help :)

Where are the notices sent? On our wall on FB? or ??? I have the FT page checked to 'follow' but not sure that will make a notice show up on my home page an I never go to that page to look at anything.

Thanks for responding!

You're welcome:)

If they are going to do scheduled maintenance which requires taking the servers down, which is very rare, there will be a message above you farm like there is today about the animals. That way anyone who opens their farm will see it.

Maintenance today?
 

Starting this afternoon, my trees don' fade when I want to chop, they all stay there. Same with flowers; nothing fades out so it is very hard to see each individual type for harvesting and chopping. Does this have something to do with the maintenance?

Down in the right corner you can click through the eye to get to either hidden , dimmed or nothing. I believe the eye open it does nothing, half open it dims and fully closed it hides everything. You can also check the wrench in the preference bar and make sure that the eye is checked.

No it doesn't have anything to do with the maintenance. The maintenance was yesterday morning.
Look in the lower right corner when you have the tool in your hand. There is an eye there. If the eye is wide open then nothing gets hidden. Click it once and it will go to dim out and click it again it will go to hidden. That is how you set the dimout to make things fade or be hidden all together.

*phew* glad you don't run this game.

In terms, i agree with lollipopbunny , As you said

"It would be nice if the developers could post something on Facebook to show on our HOME page a day ahead of when they are going to do a Maintenance an if possible the amount of time it would be down to players."

But i think FT developer should published it in their FT Fanpage regardless of scheduled or unscheduled . If the maintenance is last minute , they should still post it on their FT page as i mentioned in my first word

They post it at the top of the farm page when it is is scheduled maintenance. When it is unschedule and crashes there isn't any way for them to give you advance notice.
I am closing this thread as the subject has been thoroughly discussed.

I had not noticed that, thanks for the tip. :)

This works great, thanks for the tip! I read it when you first posted and have been using it since, much better!! :)

I'm constantly amazed that I'm still learning this game after 5 years, and the best stuff comes from the mods and helpers. Lots of jaw-dropping, game-changing, moments, people, thank you very much!!

have you tried going offline?I never get that box unless someone else is on my farm working.When I go offline,it stops.Might work.

Click 1 body of water of each type and then wait a moment for each fish to load. I find this works better than going through all the fish quickly.

And when it comes to crops, it's best to harvest 10 or so of each kind on a farm and then wait for each to load instead of harvesting everything quickly. The max sized tool at the moment harvests 100 fields at a time, but if you just click on the edge of the farm it gets 10 and the 10 are enough to tell the server what you're getting.

i don't know anyone that would make a chicken coop out of new oak lumber, they'd rip up an old pallet like the ones made for the post office. too bad those are made out of pine, lol

If the Farm Buildings factory made them out of old pallets I doubt if they would sell any. If I went to buy a coop and one was made from new lumber and the other was made out of old lumber, I would buy the new coop that would last. That is why all of my factories always uses new or fresh ingredients for quality (not quantity) products.
