Great points Though my cousin and her husband who have a farm in Kansas might disagree that Kansas farms are boring LOL Living in a lovely area with mountains, rivers and forests, I prefer that type landscape so appreciate the fact that FT offers pine trees. Do wish someday they would offer some variety -- like blue spruce, cedar and varied size of the evergreens, but I'm happy with my pine trees.
The facilities are great for those who enjoy them. I've just deleted three of the ones I tired out, but that's my choice.
Something for everyone is a really good concept. Personally I'm not keen on most of the new things, but other are, so -- super

If I wanted a Texas farm, I could have one now, complete with oil rigs. If I wanted an oceanfront property, I now don't have to labor over layering the river sections to create a beach. People have created mountain hideaways, trailer parks, ski resorts, islands, etc. The facilities just add a bit more fun to the mix. Prior to the facilities, the vast majority of the farms looked like a flat, endless vista resembling farmland in Kansas. Boring!!!

Besides, NOTHING says you have to load up your place with facilities -- I love the fact that I can pick and choose what I want for industrial/retail places that fit in harmony with my farm design. And I still have tons of land to farm upon to use as produce in my facilities, share with my neighbors, or just grow because I like the looks of the crop.
