i agree!! i am an admin for a very large FT group, and when all other "fixes" had been tried, 9 times out of 10 the memcache cleaner would resolve what ever random issue occurred. people will always find a way to get around the "rules" so to speak, but in our group, running the memcache for anything other than "cleaning" old FT data is reported to an admin, and the user risks getting banned from our group. we also have reported someone mis-using to slashkey. at times, i have needed a specific factory emptied so i could move to another farm, so it was WITH MY PERMISSION that it was used to work my fac over n over. please please please please bring this invaluable resource back! please do not punish those that use it responsibly for all that have mis-used it.

A new tab would open and a bunch of information lines would appear. Then you could X out, and be back at that neighbor's farm, and work it all over again.

so, the memcache basically wiped out the information that you had already worked that farm.

While I understand that it allowed one to re-work the neighbours farm - it was most useful for clearing any problems that we had and that is why I miss it and hope that it is brought back

I was thrilled to be able to buy the new turbo boat! However whenever I get hired to fish the only boat that comes up for me to use is the blue boat (the first one) so now fishing for anyone else is slower than ever for me. Is this something that is going to be fixed? I can use the Turbo boat in my own farms.

Love the new people! How cool are they??? I now have Indians on the same farm with my cowboys. The cowboys are busy shooting it out at the O.K. Corral while the Indians are doing peacepipe thingies in their village in the mountains. Also bought the Turbo boat (difficult to find the sweet spot). Like the land management tool. And 'course I love having a new farm. When the diamonds get all evened up I'm always afraid we've seen our last farm. So glad it wasn't true. Eager to see what goodies we get with the new levels. Hoping for a few cactus to place around the cowboys. We could use some horses at hitching posts, tumbleweeds, etc. More old West stuff. Thanks for this awesome release!

Love the new release. The turbo boat is awesome, got it first. Like the new people. And FARM 16 how cool is that?? The new facilities are....well this is the first time I thought "really??" But every town has a funeral home. I bought the factory. And will eventually purchase the home. Just a different item than I expected on Farm Town. But this game is more realistic than others.

Sorry about the ramble, just typing out loud.

Thanks Raul and Devs for another great update. I know you have to put a lot of effort in to the game to continually introduce new items and features.

I do appreciate all your efforts. And hope Farm town continues far into the future.

Some people have sick people in hospital, long term. Some people were victims of corporal punishment in schools. Some were victims of abuse at the hands of church leaders. Seriously, we cannot possibly know, nor can developers know, what facilities or buildings, or decorations will trigger painful issues and memories for players. We can't drive through our home towns and not pass by funeral homes, hospitals, etc. (Well, I guess it is possible, but definitely not realistic or easy). I had a brother in law drown 2 summers ago, but on the majority of my farms I have water of some type. Farmtown is not a bubble inside which we can hide from "life". But in Farmtown, we all have choices that offline life doesn't offer us : We can simply not buy these things. Or we can buy them as a way of taking back some personal power.

Pertaining to the update , my Search feature does not work. I read that it had been fixed, but it isn't functional for me.

I just had the 10 minute time-out and after clicking that to reconnect, I went to go to my default farm or so I thought. What I found was my farms were all moved around even though I have not done anything with the new Farm Selector Manager. I had to go into it to Reset back to original order. I hope this is not going to continue being a problem.
Also please fix the Clear_Memcached so we can use it again. Fix the repeat working of facilities part and re-issue the rest of it. This is useful for clearing more than just the browser cache and helps to fix the neighbors zero level problem.

Not mine either, and I really miss it, that search engine is all for me...
