New Release -- August 30th, 2011

"A Farm can only be watered once a day."

I guess I didn't understand this from the first post, having never had the first irrigation tool. I feel slightly cheated.

Sure, it's great, a 4-day crop is now ready in 2 days - and you'd never see the above in-game message.

But when we plant a 12-hour crop, and irrigate them = 6 hour crop.

When we plant a 2-day crop and try to irrigate them, after we plant them, the message above comes up.

So great, now I'm back to having sticky notes, telling me when I can irrigate my field again, so the current crops get some benefit from the tool which costs 95fc (45 for the first tool, 50 for the second).

Note: and no, the fields don't stay irrigate for a full day. We were told we had to use the tool each time we planted, and we have too - just not in the same day.

I have yet to figure out, is that once in the same 20-hour period (1 FT day), or once per calendar day.

Irrigated plants will grow twice as fast and will have a (W) when you mouse over them.

Notice you will not see an immediate change in growth, what will happen is that all crops and flowers in the farm that are still growing will be fully grown twice as fast from that point on.

You can irrigate a plant more than once, but it's growth speed will only double the first time. As before, you can irrigate only once per day. It's OK if someone irrigated your farm that same day.

When you use this tool on other people farms it behaves as if you were using the Brown Sprinkler, growing speed doesn't change.

This tool is an extension of the Brown Mobile Sprinkler, meaning, unlike the Manure Spreaders, you are irrigating the plants, not the farm, so if you plant new ones and you want them to grow twice as fast, you will have to irrigate them after you plant them.


Post Release Changes - Aug 30, 11:15PM EST:

-Brown Sprinkler can now be used to water any farm, not just neighbours farms
-When neighbor irrigate your farm, you can now use the red sprinkler right after that to double plants growth speed
-If you owned the Red Mobile Sprinkler sometimes the Brown Mobile Sprinkler was showing up instead of the Red Mobile Sprinkler
-When using the Red Mobile Sprinkler, sometimes you had to refresh to see the growth speed increased, or after a refresh the increase in growth speed was lost. Some of these issues are now corrected.

Clydesdales are very large horses, and I love that he stands out on my farms. For those who want proper proportion, perhaps we could have a new stable for the clydesdales to live in.

My issue with the suggestion of a stable for the clydesdales is that both stables we have now are farm cash stables I don't want to buy another stable just for my clydesdales I bought the red stable because of the clydesdales. I refused to have a stable and the other horses on my farm even after they became harvestable. I got my horse hair through ingredient request. What I think a good option is to have switch views on the stables and clydesdales, that way people can make the stables bigger if they want, make the clydesdales smaller if they want or leave everything like it is now. It really doesn't bother me that the stable is too small for the clydesdale I just don't want the clydesdale to be made smaller I think it will look like a dog if they do that.

The only issue with this suggestion is that both stables are fc items, if they where coin items it would be different.

For me, it's wasn't 20 hours (1 farmtown day). I had to wait until the same time, calendar day that I used it yesterday.

I got it at 4am, and immediately used it - yesterday.

I had to wait until 4am today, to use it again. Yes, I've been trying each hour for the last 4 hours (when it passed the 20 hour mark).

Yes mine will only work after 24 hours too - thats OK - Im settling to irigating all farms the same time every day and planning round that.
