New Release -- January 19th, 2013

[chrisluvsanimals]

Need a clarification on #3 in the new update please!

3. Employers and Employee Bonus Improvements: If an Employee is working on the Employers farm and they are both receiving bonuses, anyone of them can hire or re-hire the other for any type of work and they will continue receiving bonuses.

This is worded like Employers now get the Treasure Chest bonus in addition to the Harvest Bonus.......I'm sure this isn't what was meant but it is unclear.

Thanks for helping clear this up

It addresses the situation where you hire someone to work on your farm and they hire you to work on theirs at the same time.

There is no bonus for employers; this fix is simply to ensure you each get your employee bonus for working for the other.

When you are hired by a stranger form market and you start work on their farm a chest icon appears below the fuel icon top left of your game screen. Once you have completed all jobs on one farm, you click on that chest to collect your bonus before moving on to another farm and the pop up will tell you what you have earned.

You will not see the chest for jobs your neighbours or buddies hire you for.

The employer get 20% extra for hiring from the market but you don't see a box or anything telling you.

This is what was posted at the time of release. Don't forget when you are making your calculations to take into account whether or not your crops are fertilised and what belt you have achieved for them.

Extra Box/Product when Hiring Strangers from the Marketplace: To increase work availability in the marketplace we have decided to reward those who hire strangers (not a Buddy or neighbour) in the Marketplace. That is to say, if you go to the Marketplace to hire others you will receive an extra product (regular non-large box, fruits, flower, log or fish) in your storage for each product harvested. This will help employers having more products to load their facilities.
