If you want to use it as SN only for coins items, then there should be an option to not allow you to purchase farmcash items. That is why I asked you to post in suggestions if you wish. :)

I did, noticed several others also for same issue ;)

Why was the Taste of Mexico made a FC item? The Mexican Restaurant was a coins facility and now I can't buy the Taste of Mexico as I don't have FC. I rely on coins facilities for my farms. I have bought some FC items in the past but I am no longer financially able to do that. I think that if one facility costs coins, the matching facility should be the same. It's the same with the stables. All of the other animal facilities have coins for a regular animal facility but the stables are both FC. It's hard to accumulate enough horse hair when you have to buy stables for every farm with FC.

Hi lvurn11 :)

Sorry, my mistake. I'll look again because I'm sure I had a restaurant that was coins and the matching facility was FC

SeaJay Oct 18 2018 10:53 PM

I just had to sell an item and re-buy it in the opposite direction because I could buy and lay anywhere with the purple hand but did not have enough available space to rotate it. I had to buy the item on another farm, save it to storage and then go back to the farm I am decorating.

Hmmmm

There are more ways to get FC other than leveling up. You can do the Co-operative Quests, the regular Quests, and the Neighborhood Chains Contest as they all offer FC for prizes if you meet the criteria for them.

I do all of those and they don't add up anywhere enough for even one FC facility every month. Do the math. I haven't upgraded any tools in a very long time. Thank you

The purple hand is ok, but a bit of a disappointment. Though things can be placed on fields, it doesn't allow placing items on layered fields.. The description on it is vague on that point. I know layers are not officially supported but it would have been nice, However, as it is it does allow for adding facilities where there is not enough room. And that makes it OK but pricey at 50 FC,

AlyceAnn Oct 19 2018 07:54 AM

So to buy multiple animals with the purple hand you still have to place them one at a time on the farm? That saves a fraction of the time. If this is all it is concerning animals and you can't choose how many and put them right in the shed then it is so not worth the money. Am I wrong or missing something? It will buy multiple but you need to place 250 animals one at a time? For every different animal in the shed?

RomanticSoul Oct 19 2018 11:19 AM

Wondering when all facilities will be made workable. like the bank. Oil pumps. semi trucks/ open pit mines Mineral mines. Stuff that never gets worked when people work your facilities.

Hi TGrrrr,
No the purple hand can not be used on super neighbors farms because it can be used to buy farm cash items.

Hi DanielP,
The reason it won't set anything on layered fields is because the 9x layering is using all the squares in that area so there is no place to set the item down. Only 1 item can be in 1 square of the ground. If you have the Grid Ground cover you can see that all the squares are used.

All facilities only have 1 square as the anchor point, so they do not take all the space the graphic shows on.

Alexandra_J Oct 20 2018 11:49 AM

then the purple hand will be a complete waste of money if you cant put anything on your farm from storage if you have your farms x3 or x9 and most of us have x3 or x9 farms dont we.

So the purple hand is like the green hand???????????

Hi Alexandra,
I did not say anything about the 3x. With 3x that means there should be spaces for you to set down things from storage, though you will have to move it around to find the open space.

And no the purple hand is not like the green hand. The green hand can not purchase anything from the store or remove anything from storage.

Alexandra_J Oct 20 2018 03:42 PM

But it does say we can take things out of storage to put on our farms. It shouldn't matter if we have our farms plowes normally, x3 or x9. If we can't take our things out of storage when we have a x9 farm then the freestyle hand isn't worth the $50

Purple hand
 
Misunderstood about the purple hand and feel I have wasted 50 farm cash!

Hi Alexandra_J and Katzyin,
I am sorry, but this tool does only does the same layering as the green hand. The only difference is it allows you to use things from the store or your storage that the green hand could not do. No tool will do any layering of plants and crops.

Alexandra_J Oct 20 2018 05:59 PM

So the purple hand only takes out facilities then from storage?

lrds Oct 20 2018 06:05 PM

Please, please, I need more neighbours, I only have really 2. all the others left the game.

PLEASE, HELP ME!

Thank you.

Hi Alexandra_J,
That is not what I said. It will take any item you have in storage out and allow any item except plants (fields/crops/trees/flowers) to almost fully overlap other items. However, there has to be a free square to set those items down, so with 9x plowed fields there is very limited squares open to be able to set things down.

Well I would like to say thank you for the purple hand. I have arthritis and all the clicks the green hand took to stacking my lakes was making them sore. I have completed 4 farms with lakes and gained over 25 million in exp ( 1,000 per lake) and my hands have not suffered.:D

So thank you for this wonderful tool.:p:D

Update from Raul:


Post Release Updates - October 24th, 5:30PM

- Added a new 'Rotate Items' to the purple hand so you can rotate a big number of items more quickly
- When using any Freestyle Farm Designer, including the yellow hand, when you mouse over an item the name of the item will show up on top
- If you disconnect from the mainframe to go offline, when you go back online, you will see an updated list of all avatars that are currently connected, this should work everywhere, farms, marketplace, etc
- Removed the black Loading... when scrolling through the neighbour list

SeaJay Oct 24 2018 06:32 PM

Very cool. ty

Taz D Oct 25 2018 11:41 PM

Raul just added the following:


Post Release Updates - October 25th, 6:30PM

- BugFix: Sometimes after loading a very populated farm with few empty spaces available, the Avatar was not visible at all. Moving forward, if we can't find an empty space to show the Avatar, we will force the avatar to appear on the lower corner of the farm. This bug was also making more difficult for users to see each others avatars on those farms.
