Game Migration Updates

FB 1486937153 - Farm 3 - There is something invisible on the farm which doesn`t let me plow with the big plowers. Like a magic barrier which is moving itsself to another place each time I reload. I cleared everything possible (setting: everything) several times (Bulldozer 8R) but the error always occures. I tried to use the plower from maximum to small. Seems there is one point which is always blocking the action as there would be something standing there (but it isn`t. I checked that several times). Plus: sometimes afterwards some already plowed fields also dissapear magically and the ground cover can be seen. I want to overlay the fields and spent much farmcash yesterday to size this farm up. Annoying that I cannot even lay the first layer (neither on nor offline). Please fix it.

Hi rposer,

I am sorry but we can't help you with any methods of layering or overlapping fields or plants. Those methods can cause problems and so we are not permitted to give or let others post the instructions in the forum for any that may or may not be working since the migration.

I had a look at your farm 3 and I can see you have facilities and animal sheds on top of each other in the top corner. Those will cause a problem if you are trying to plow under those. The only things that you won't be able to see yet would be some of the animated items like working animals and Farm Cash flags. You do have flags on that farm, so although you can't see them those will prevent you plowing in some areas where they would normally be showing. For those I am sorry but you will have to wait until the developers get time to work on animated items and add those items back to the game.

For the single layer plowing issue not saving, and there's nothing in the same spot as another, you may have had a slow down that meant those didn't get saved at the time that you did them.

My issue occured as stated online and offline before layering. Just chose the biggest plower and move it over the wide area. Then suddenly the green square at some random place turns red although nothing is existing there. It is not an issue of layering, it is an issue of the the normal set plot of field process. And it occures only on farm 3.

Hi rposer,

There's seems to be some misunderstanding here. In both of your posts today you've stated that the plow tool turns red and prevents you from plowing on your Farm 3 when you can't see anything on Farm 3 that is preventing it.

I have explained that you have flags on that farm that you can not see. You may not remember putting any on that farm, but they are there, just not visible to you at the moment. You can't do anything about the them being there to move, store or delete them until the developers have added those back to the game so you can see them. As they are on that farm in your data, when you use the plow tool on that farm and you move over a spot where one or more of those flags are, then it will not let you plow there because one part of the plow tool recognizes there is something there even though you can't see it yourself, and turns the green to red.

If you want to get as many fields on that farm as you can without waiting for the flags to be added back so they are visible again, the only thing I can suggest for you is to use the single plow tool to mouse over the entire farm without plowing. It will go red when it sees something there like one of the flags that you can't see. Then you will have an idea of where they are and can plow around that area if you wish.

I was trying to buy Farm 31 and the process froze during "processing purchase" The blue bar was complete (and yes, there are coins in the bank but it would go no further than that. Just wanted to know if this is a bug or should I just try again. No coins were taken from my bank. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, as a super neighbour I have been trying to move my neighbour's facilities around on her farm, she keeps them hidden " inside " living buildings. So I've tried to move them 3 times, and every time she gets back to her farm they haven't moved from their original positions, it's as if I haven't been there. Any ideas as to what's happening ? Thanks , and thanks for all your hard work on here since January.

Hi Peekachoo,
The developers are aware of this problem. We will have to wait and see if they can fix it soon.

I still can't play, my quest box is not available yet.... is this the same for everyone? I really miss this game.... I'm not too computer savvy, so maybe I just don't know how to fix it so it works.... Someone, help me out....
