Hello,
No sorry, currently there isn't a way to unwither crops. Only the devs would know if they were going to introduce one.

I personally wouldn't want an unwither tool, When I mess up and lose a crop (as I did this morning) because I forgot it or timed it wrong, I view it as a natural disaster like a hail storm or sudden freeze. Don't like it but things happen adds a little something to the game. Just my opinion.

Thanks
Fritz

Agreed, For what it's worth, I also think an 'unwither' tool would spoil the game.

I am also in on the 'No' side of this one, that is if we are 'voting' on it. Just wouldn't 'feel' right.
One of the reasons that I quit playing the Ville game. [They do have the 'unwither' tool.] but it makes the game 'not fun' anymore.
There is a feeling like the real world in a game where things grow, then are harvested or die, in their time.
Now as far as the 'freeze' tool, that might be alright on things like flowers. I can see where it would help the person in the military, where they did not know when they planted that they would not be on time to harvest, but in that case, would they know in time to use it before the crops died?

And in consideration of the Developers [time & $] spent on this game. I am very much appreciative of everything that they have put into the game. However, as I am now unable to work, I am on a very limited income, and am unable to pay [real $] for anything. I always thought that I would like computer work, but so far, the only thing that I 'am' doing is just playing the game, but I would like to help the developers if there was anything I could do. [I would love to help them, I would have to learn what was needed.] Hey, that might help some of these [me included] people who are impatient to get the updates on the game to understand just what was involved in all these new toys that we all enjoy.
Thanks again for the happy farming you have given us.

I don't think it would ruin the game. However it would make people lazy because you could just water and harvest like flowers.

I suspect you're right Randall, which is why they would make it a 45FC item I'm guessing, so alot wouldnt buy it anyway! Id much prefer a FC item that would let us mature the crops quicker.. but I dout we will get that lol

While I agree with you about the "unwither tool" - I would like to have the ability to "freeze" my crops. The request to freeze crops at any given growth stage has been made previously by people who like the look certain crops have and want to keep it that way for design purposes. I would like the ability to freeze crops when I know I won't have access to a computer or the internet for a while.

Yes, I could simply not re-plant my farms, but sometimes I don't have the time to do that (I am in the military).

OK - off of my soap box and back to designing my super-tuna canning factory (increases canned tuna production by 400%!)

I agree with that, I mean we all know if they do make a tool that unwithers our crops, it'll be FC. But having the option to freeze our crops is a good idea. A lot of people plant crops and then get busy and may not have time to harvest them, so then we can just freeze our crops and unfreeze them when we're ready.

I also want to know what happened to us getting experince when we fish. The Devs did say 'in the future', and that was a while ago. I'm just throwing this out, but I think we should have belts and dan degrees for fish too. Maybe that would help solve the tuna shortage.

We need more ways to earn farm cash. By the time we buy all the tools we need, we don't have enough cash to buy the facilities. There has to be another way. I think we should some how come up with a way of turning coins into farm cash or just let us buy the facilities with coins or tools with coins and facilities with cash. Something has to change.

it takes a team of people to develop and maintain a great game like Farm Town. this team works hard to provide this entertainment. there has to be a source of income to pay the people and to maintain the servers for the game. i think this game balances the non pay items with the pay items very well. each release usually has a couple facilities and time saving tools for fc. the rest of the release is basically free. new seeds, new decorations, new farms, etc. cost nothing. also the upgraded levels give us about 25 fc free. i think this game can be enjoyed by all - those who want to pay some real money to play and those who want a free game to play.
