It's just ground cover...it's flat...the decor sits on top. Check out the social section...hills thread.

P.S. Great job! Thank you so much for feeding my addiction... I'll keep feeding your bank account *lol*

Facility chapter of the game guide has the breakdown of ingredients but not xp.

Gift box limit... I have never been notified until I have nearly 150 gifts.

When you plant an 8 hour crop you have SIXTEEN hours. It takes 8 to ripen and then another 8 until it goes to waste. I also think they have a little leeway built in. I had some purple grapes planted and didn't get home until after 8 hours after planting. I had them on 2 farms and none rotted before they could be harvested.

Raul, you guys are unbelievable!!! I can just think of something and it's like ESP. Someone there senses what I am thinking and with new release there it is better than I could imagine. Brilliant mind(s). I am so enjoying this game. TY TY TY so very much.

Nice update, those bits that work anyway! Love the +30 button, and the forklift for emptying the facs straight from the manager too, but do have one very small question:
In the update, there was supposed to be a fix for dead plots:

10. Corrupted items in farms are now hidden automatically: Ocassionally there were items in the farm that could not be deleted or moved, specially plow or gone to waste fields, those items are now hidden.

Mine all still show up on all the farm where they have been for a long time, so I guess this is another part of the update that isn't quite working yet?

I love this update! I'm off to buy the forklift as soon as I buy FC... And those new facilities look interesting too! Might have to buy enough FC for them all! *lol*
Of course I'm still begging the developers to put some sort of crops/goods storage gauge on the storage menu so we can tell how full that storage is getting. I've been losing crops and some goods too, although I try to keep everything sold that I don't need. Although it isn't acknowledged as being the reason for losing stuff, I suspect it is. Could the developers pretty pretty pretty please put in a rough gauge, like a thermometer even, to show us where we stand with our storage?? Please??

Sorry just have to put this out there.
Wonderful new facs... New Tools all took time for developers and that's certainly appreciated...
ON a different note.. I am just near that point of no longer playing due to ONE glitch that has not been fixed and almost every n'bor I have takes advantage of this.
LAYERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why should I play - be competitive - play LEGITIMATE and yet watch as other players fly by me due to the GLITCH that allows them to layer????????????????
I have no doubt that some may say - Hey DON'T PLAY if you don't like it... very true. My answer would be this is more of a "to the point"
WHAT do LAYERERS expect to accomplish when they're already at max level !???????????
Just sign me....

Yes some do layer, but they also run the risk of damaging their farms which we constantly warn. Some of the damage is permanent too which is why we don't recommend layering.

still cannot switch from farm to farm...still getting error messaging of connection to server timed out {sigh}

It has no effect on anything on the farm it is just an option some people wanted. You can use the water cover and land pieces to create islands for a cool look.
