The ultimate fix for this is to have a gift token system and a gift shoppe thats located in the markets people could send tokens and collect tokens and just go to the gift shoppe to redeem them for whatever item/s in the amount that they really need ....i did suggest this in the sugeestions forum but no one seemed to have read / commented on it maybe if i keep talking about it someone will comment and maybe it will reach the ears of Sir Raul

"**************I would also be willing to PAY EXTRA COINS to buy special seeds that will FREEZE a harvest when it matures for 1 day so that I can plant 2-12 hour crops without worrying about losing them.******************************************"

I agree. At one time I expressed an interest in a reward system wherein tokens were provided allowing a one-time early harvest per token, in case I have to leave before harvesting a quick crop. Your thought mirrors that.

good idea i do see its merrits

however i find that farmtown is very realistic (well crop times arnt) but i guess if we had to wait 8 weeks for a crop to be ready we would give up playing but real farmers cant freeze there crops (unless its very cold where they live) so that would be unrealistic farmtown is about managing your crops only plant what you know you can harvest like dont plant rasberries if you know you will be going out directly after planting and wont be home till the morning

i personally hope they dont introduce a freeze crop option

I liked a suggestion a few days ago about being able to freeze crops with a limit of only three times a year to cover a break away from home. At the moment when I take a week long holiday in the REAL world, my virtual farm planted with four day crops doesn't quite make it through. I'm addicted enough to this game to be miserable about having to go away with my farms unplanted.

Yep, I do have a notebook computer, but I like to pretend that I'm not addicted to Farm Town when I'm on a trip

I actually would also rather have a selection of crops on either end of what we have now,that gave us a few more time options to use so that they fit in with our real world schedules. Perhaps some 6 hours ones and at least a couple of 5 day ones to cover a full real world week.

Well, I can't say I agree with the objections to some ideas because they aren't farmlike enough. We never log on to find our farms laid to waste with a banner saying, "Too bad, a tornado came through. Please replant." Or discovering we have to spend a million coins to drop a new well. A little whimsey is welcome in this world away from home, whether it be a dance club, an occasional frozen crop or always fair weather.

I suggested a year or two before, before we have a mega updates for facilities and only had farms to make this Farmtown more realistic.

My suggestion was to add weather to the game (random of course because this will increase the need to buy and sell as some farms may have bad weather for few weeks ) We would have a daily forcast weather report for the next 7 day and depending on the weather if you could seed or harvest.

The weather report could be either symbols under the fuel tank icon or in preferences.

Eg If you sow one day and your crop is due when heavy rain is forecast that you only receive 75% of crop. or if you seed say a 3 day crop and the next 3 days is sunny that your crop yield increases to 130%

And if you get a weather report of a hurricane that any crops needing on that day will suffer loss of their crop.. but you can still sow and plow on that day.

That would make Farmtown more challenging.

here are some other ideas eg.

Cold snap - Fruit Trees 20% loss of harvest
Heavy Rain - loss of 25% of harvest
heat wave - Certain crops loss of 25% - cucumbers, squash - plants that affect by heat
Hurricane / tornado (rarely) - loss of crop or up to 50%
Snow - depending of the crop - loss of crop or up to 50%
Sunny Days - for crops 2 days or more increase harvest by 10% per day.

programing would not be hard - if then statement
yield =harvest yield x type of harvest divide or multiply weather factor.

I feel this would make the game more interesting and could to lead to other ideas. ( I have many more if this was to happen)

Also Farm town should have two levels..for this to happen
Level 1 farms to continue playing the game as they are now
Level 2 (more experience players) for the farmers that want the real experience - reward would be maybe double - Farmtown cash for each level . greater exp points etc.
