wow.. thanks for all the new stuff. The new flowers are quite lovely!! It is sooooo nice that we can buy the Cajun restaurant with COINS!! Thanks so much for your hard work to keep us busy and loving this game!

Thanks for the update, cant seem to get the new fishing boat to work though, clicked like I do with trees and nothing happens, had to revert back to red boat to do them. Do keep noticing a message flashing on that says ' extend mode select' not sure what that means

Hi Jeannine,
They will be added when the production increases are added.

Hi lpeaks,
The water pieces have to be within the red square. It is trickier to use when they are off the edge of the farm. Extent mode is when you have the red square meaning that it will harvest all within that land area.

I have a yellow square like with the trees, and am used to using the tree shaker now, I was covering the whole area, as there was more waters outside the square area overlapping and when I click it did nothing, I cancelled and I still had all fish there, so it didnt connect somehow. Will try it again in the morning and see what happens. Do you know what the extend mode select means?

Hi lpeaks,
The tools are switchable between the old method and the new one. Extend mode means you are using the new (area) method. You can change it by clicking on the tool symbol that replaced the eye. That will pop up the 2 modes.

ok thanks Taz, makes sense now :)

thanks taz for letting us all know!! you mods are all awesome!! ;D
