New Release -- January 8th, 2014

For the first time in AGES i have been able to hire people to fish, shake and chop! Wooohoo! Love that people can use my tools!

I'm very happy with the update, especially with teh farm grid colors, so nice! I don;t always see as well as I would like and that really improved that little corner for me!!!

To those worrying about people using their tools, the limiter on hires using your tools is...it's their gas. How many people have enough petrol if they don't already own all the big tools? Plus, if they are using their gas to run your tools, that takes away from the gas available to them to plant and get supplies in. Bring on the 'increase fuel production!!' posts.

Thank you, Slashkey, really like this one!

I'm in the market spreading the word to the players who have NO idea about the Forum or the changes to the game, had to leave they either thought I was lying or being 'snotty' cause I told them to join the Forum and read up on the latest features of the game

OMG the personalities of some people

For some reason, I cannot use my mother's bigger tools when working her farms, even though she has them and they are in storage. I worked a lot of jobs in the market place tonight with no issue, but I can't use hers. Does it not work if you are neighbors?

Nothing was said about neighbors not being able to use them. Are you out of fuel? It does require you have fuel and not the employer.

It has been mentioned before, as least my me a few times, that when some one first joins the game, they should be directed to a short tutorial on the forum,

and if they complete the tutorial, they might get an extra $5 or $10 farm cash.

... and be many steps ahead of the game and perhaps become a long time player if they knew more of what they could do.

I could not be more happier than the feature that allows us to use the employee's tools. My sister hired me today and what a joy it was, as with having bad arthritis in my hands I now find it so much less painful than when I had to use just the single tools. Overjoyed is an understatement.
As for the complainers, my sister worked extremely hard to get where she is and spent hard gotten money to buy her tools, but is willing to help any new player get ahead. She says she remembers the bad old days of having to slog along with a single tool and with more painful hands than I have. Share the love is her motto. She has a newbie group where she does what she can to help newbies forge ahead in the game. Love her for it

I would have liked to have seen GREEN for the farms to still go to as in GO and RED for the farms that have been worked as in STOP. Just a thought.

Any suggestions would be better in the suggestion section so that the developers can see the suggestion, you can't start a new thread, but you can post in the thread closest to your suggestion. If you don't see one that is close you can post in the thread "My idea doesn't have a thread".
