Is there a veterinarian on the farm??? I think my animals may need to be seen soon, they haven't had a checkup in ages... LOL

[shirleybedford]

why is the fourth farm so much more expensive than what the other ones were?
I am level 80 and had 22 million dollars, until I invested in the fourth farm. now I don't even have enough to do an upgrade on it. guess it will motivate me into working harder to make more coins. Before I thought I had so much, I was focusing on the points, in case theres another level up grade, I would be ahead of the race. so in order to do a big POINT turnover, I planted cheap stuff to get it out faster. now I have to focus on pineapples and such for the big COINS. Just change things up a little. its all good though. Love my farmtown!!!

I think it's because many of us at level 80 (myself included) were reporting loss of interest due the lack of a goal to work toward, and seemingly no point to continuing to amass the huge amounts of coins our facilities earn. So I'm happy it's expensive, I was sad to reach the "end" of the game, and now have something new to work for. Currently have a 20x20 Farm 4, which is just space to play with decorating since I'm comfortable with my level of growth and production on the other farms (I do use crop layering, the technique is described in a thread in the social forum).

Also, regarding adding FB friends to get FT neighbors: FB allows you to set up "friend lists." All the people who are just my friends to be FT neighbors are on my "farm town" list. You can restrict what people on a particular list see about you and what you see about them. I primarily use the list feature in that I only post my work-my-facilities requests to my FT list, my other friends aren't bothered with them.

I agree with you calliopejane. Its like I was saying, I was caught up earning the points (in case there is a level upgrade?? anyone know??), that I wasn't earning much money---planting cheap crops to do a fast turnover for the points. Now I am taking a different strategy and planting the high dollar crops to earn more money, to upgrade my fourth farm. it gives us something to do instead of feeling like we're at a dead end. so I agree. thanks so much for responding! I haven't tried crop layering, will have to look into that. thanks!

The way animals are packed together in some layouts (due to fact animals cannot be moved between farms), I'm thinking that vet is needed LOL

Yes in both regards. I was under the impression that when you received help from your neighbors that the production time was decreased. I was unaware that the cap was set at a single day of production. If I understand you correctly, you get help from neighbors to speed up production, but MS and FB are equal in that the facilities will only produce so much per day, whether it be done in the 1st hour w/ help on FB or over the entire day as the devs designed on MS...

If that's the case, then I retract my previous statement about facilities being a cash cow on FB and not on MS.

FT said they were going to up the levels, but nothing so far, with all the new facilities it takes no time to level up, soon you'll have everyone on 80 and no where to go, so the app will die
