First, thanks for the hard work and upgrades to Farm Town. I love this game, and look forward to the new items/features you add.

I immediately bought the new farm equipment mostly to get the XP points as I am trying to advance through the last couple of levels. Although I liked the 'old fashioned' aspects of Farm Town I decided to give these a try. I am finding that in some ways they actually slow me down. I am finding my farm 'hangs' more when I use these. For example I can seed about two rows (8 plots of 4 at a time) with the seeder, then it gives me a problem lining up for the next one. If I get it lined up and click it tells me "I am busy" and I have to wait for the previous plots to finish before I continue. I have found this to some degree with all of the implements I purchased. Over all I can see it being a great addition for those who want a more modern farm. I bought them knowing I might just sell them back and go back to 'farming by hand'.

Thanks,
Joules

Jessie mc--Are you saying you actually have 19 red fuel pump stations at the top of your screen, or 19 red fuel cans in your gift box?

You might find an answer faster if you post on the "help and support" thread.

Come on, people. It's a free app, and one that is maintained and updated regularly, loved and used by many people...So many people asked for these tools, but they didn't have to give them to us - yet they did. They're not going to be loved by everyone, so if it's not for you, just don't use them.

I, for one, love to see things happening to the game. It's exciting! Any changes you guys are willing to spend time on I appreciate, whether or not it's something I'm going to use personally.

One thing that would be nice, for the machines that seed (or whatever) 2 crops at a time, and for the feature that allows you to plow 2 at a time, it would be nice to be able to do two in either direction, not just left to right. If that doesn't happen, I'll live

but I'd love you guys so much if that was available!

**Please note that losing fuel you already had showing when you refuel, is NOT a glitch. Refueling REPLACES the amount of fuel you have for use in the upper left corner with the amount showing available in your fuel station. It does NOT add the two together.

You say this isn't a glitch. If the fuel amount you have left is not enough to do even one plot, then refueling should indeed ADD to, not delete, the amount you have left.

This issue is the same as if you're planting and run out of coins. Say you're planting cabbage and have 8 coins left. You get the message "you don't have enough coins to plant." Your option at that point is to try to earn more. When you do earn more, does it wipe out the 8 coins you had left?? No. Coins are ADDED to the existing ones.

If you don't want to call it a glitch, fine. Call it what it is, an error in planning, and fix it so it's not unnecessarily wiping out fuel.

I think when you use the tools it should be like in farmville and the avatar should not be involved and it would go alot faster. Otherwise thanks for all of the upgrades! Love the game!!

Each field consumes 1 unit of gas.so there's no way that there will be fuel left not enough to do 1 field.you must consume all your fuel before refueling.

My thoughts exactly. I'd also like to have someplace to store the things I own - some of the other games allow that and it's great - just move them out of the way. I hate having to sell everything - not only does it feel wasteful, it's insanely time consuming!

More land, more land, more land!!!!
