I was hired to harvest a whole farm of flowers... but they were dead, and the player didn't follow me to their farm, so I couldn't do the job. It would be nice if we had that option, so that if we find ourselves in this situation, we can water for us to harvest, but the play doesn't get the benefit of the flowers being watered after we harvest.

I am not understanding your message. I purchased the new sprinkler.. It says in the forums we could water the flowers on buddies farms or anyones farms. I was unable to do this. Thus the reason for the post

I can see my brain going into overload with this new tool!

Thank you so much for such a great update!

Good point

First the old horse has so many issues going on size just being one of them. It should not be the standard the new horse is compared to. I would like to pretend the old horse never existed. Second if they make the Clydesdale smaller I think they will look more like a dog then a horse. My vote is to offer an alternative view of the stables keeping the same look they have now but making them bigger so the Clydesdale's look more proportional to the building.

Good Point!

LOL the chicken coop looks bigger than the stables!

What I would really like to see is if the same proportions were apllied for all objects including our avatars. You might have to change the zoom level minimum up slightly so everything could be seen but it would certainly look a lot better.

While I agree with your opinion, it is probably not as easy as it sounds.

irrigating grown crops does no good, right? have to irrigate while in some stage of growth?

makes a 2 day crop grow in 1 day? Is that actually 20 hours?

Obviously it's great, but a bit of a mind trip figuring everything differently!

Yes the farm has to be irrigated after you plant crops and you can only irrigate a farm once a day. That means you can only speed up one crop on that farm a day.

If you irrigate right after planting then yes it turns a 2 day crop into a one day crop. Yes that is actually 20 hours. If you irrigate a crop several hours after you plant it then it will only half the time that is left not the total time a crop takes to grow. What that means is if you plant a 2 day crop wait 20 hours to irrigate it then you will have 10 hours left of growing time instead of 20 it will not go back to the time you planted the crop and half that total growing time.

Well, I remember old days when we all discussed about sizes and scales of houses and animals. We can stop this discussion. Last time nothing happens and that lead us to facilities and houses where smurfs live next door to King Kong. The charm once was to have right scaled houses and that everything fit together, this idea is dead since years. Some responsibles really forgot to look at the game when typing the source codes in their PCs'....

And BTW: I`m not happy with the update. A "start all" buttom without a user-installed preselection option (like the selling stuff, where I can chose for the future what is automatically sold and what not) at the mines was a useless tool.

A good thing was the red sprinkler!

new facilities.... oh boy, what for? I can`t even produce enough metal ore in my mines and I have mines on each farm.

the new tree: great to have one, but ... 1 facility to use it in... wow :-(

new Lama and new sheep: great, but you really should think a little of reducing the FC amount from 5 to 3 or maximum 4, so that it makes sence for me to buy these animals.

I like the new dog. Cute one, but where do I get the dog house?

In total this is an average update. Sorry, but really new ideas weren`t born ! Especially when you are top level nothing changed as there are no new goals. That lead us to the old discussion: we need something (maybe quests or whatever) that keeps the maximum level-players attracted to the game and make also the entry for new players interessting. Ok, now everyone is happy because of the new update, but in 2 weeks, the complaints stay the same. Change something !

true, the sport stadium would need to be the size of a whole farm
