If someone sends you an animal as a gift and you would like more of them. While they are in your gift box click on more and a wall post will come up for you to post asking for more of them.

On the bottom row is a tiny cash register..where you go to buy things...GOT IT???

I have to agree with the other person that responded to you that looks like a store to me not a cash register.

Plus when you scroll your mouse around it says "Store" and when you click on it it says "Store" at the top.

15 days = 360 hours
1 batch takes 2 hours to produce so that is 180 batches
10 wheat per batch so 1,800 fields of wheat is enough for 15 days.
That is 900 bags of flour every 15 days.

Now I don't know if you get help and take it down below 15 days if you can add more or not will have to actually try it and find out.

Okay, now my blonde roots are showing.
Are you saying "at a time" you can have no more than 180 batches going at once? Or that you can only produce 180 batches every 15 days? I haven't hit any limits yet, so I guess I don't understand.

You can only have 180 batches going at one time. If you get help with it you can add more as they finish what you have going.

You can earn extra Farm Cash by accepting some of those offers in the Market Place. I tried it, the first one I clicked had expired. Great... so I looked at the list of what else there was. There's NOTHING that I would click on - insurance quotes? Magazine subscriptions? Yuk! If there was something worth clicking on, I'd do it but it's like giving you a list of telemarketers and asking you which ones you want to call you. We all hate telemarketers so that's really NOT an option.

Once you reach level 80, which I have, you've gone as far as you can but your total experience keeps going up as you work on farms for others, etc. I would think the FC could be incorporated into that total rather than adding it to your total if and when they create a new set of levels. Then you wouldn't get more FC when the levels increase. Your account could jump up to the new level according to your experience but your FC would not change. You would start earning at that point.

In other words, your FC would go up as it always did but your level would not. If you spent it all and they introduced new levels the next day, you'd have to work a bit to get new things just like everyone else. This makes sense to me.

To clarify your comment... is this 180 batches total for facility or for a given product within a facility?

No that 180 was for wheat for the red windmill each facility will have different limits depending on how long it takes to produce the product.

30 min = 720
1 hr = 360
2 hr = 180
3 hr = 120
4 hr = 90
6 hr = 60

The first post explains it, there is now a production limit

So why the outcry? The way folks are going after the helping in the facilities, you could have everything done in just a few hours anyway.
The key, as I see it, is to go to the neighbors section and gain neighbors who will work your facilities.
I did that when I got my facilities and have a great network established within a week.
