Hi Susan! the robot allows you to add animals to their buildings in bulk from the farm, but it is not working for Farm Cash animals yet.

Hi, this just started happening tonight. A neighbor and I meet every night and do each others work. I use a program that helps me keep track of harvests, and I also write stuff down on a white board on the desk so I know exactly which farms are ready and what I'm hiring for on each farm.

Tonite I hired my friend for 1-2-3-4-10-11-17-19-20 but only 1-2-3-4 and 10 showed up in blue, the others were dark green. We had this problem a long time ago, way before the last update, so she knew to work any dark green ones, too.

We both clean caches on a regular basis and I had just done it before I hired her because I posted facs and it goes much faster if caches are clean.

Just reporting it to see if anyone else is seeing this. Thanks!

Ya. And the developers have known about the problems for some time. They tried to fix it shortly after the December update, but it seems it's back again.

I've said this before, but want to say it again. I really like the fact that workers can use our tools. If some people don't like it, they can "uncheck" the box that allows this to happen.

But, I really dislike the "Eye". Is there any way to get rid of it entirely?

Are you saying that the eye is graphically displeasing, or that the image is repulsive (a follow through of the closed eye used in the tool box to HIDE items) or that it gives some the feeling it's hexing us or that you don't want your workers to be able to hide things they're not working on?

I dont like the eye either - its weird - spooky - I like the function of it fine but its creepy.

[Retrophyt]

I agree about the eye. I thought the "dimmer" switch in the options worked just fine. The eye doesn't always stay in the position you put it in.

my daughter came over tonight to show me something cause i didn't believe it. she worked the market and got hired by a couple low lvls like her so did the 3x3 harvest, 3x3 plow. she also got hired for 15 or more farms by people well over 500 (one had 50 million xp) and they wouldn't let her use any tools of theirs.

she's just started and clicked on a wrong thing so wasted some FC and is struggling to buy some tools. i can't believe people wouldn't let her use theirs.

she suggested that people who purposefully (the only way) uncheck the box to let workers use their tools shouldn't be able to use their tools if they work on someone else's farm.

i do feel i must mention there were a couple people (mid level - low 500s) that did let her use their tools and she thanked them.

I used to do all my own h/p... but now I hire and share... and enjoy it!!!

I really don't need the extra bonus (have 100k to 500k of all the crops in storage).... it is just fun to find a lower level who can now accumulate some coin and levels.

Currently I have about 400,000 acorn squash growing and when I hire, it will be a low level... for one small farm (while I visit theirs to affirm their level)

They should make a tidy sum from that day working with my 10x

[rocker grrrrrl]

I am noticing that the cost for certain items in the store has been reduced, along with the XP for said item. I mentioned this in a new thread in the help & support section, so if that needs to be closed or deleted, I apologize in advance.
