I always have a hard time remembering not to try & compete with people who are way ahead of Me. I know that many of My neighbors have the cash to be able to afford pretty much every facility out there and are at like level 185. I'm proud of My level 146, and I'm doing pretty good I must say

That is great. Happy farming.

Now I have 8 dairies. Still not enough cheese. I like the smokehouse a lot, but have issues with being able to get salt and bait by gift only. Between all the rivers, lakes, and seacoasts plus the salt, I need a minimum of 20 gifts a day just for those. I will never be able to get any more trees, hens, or cows at that rate. I wish bait and salt was available from the fish farm or the truck.
Is it too early to beg for farm 9 so I can get another dairy?

Is the salt problem an issue of the developers, or of your wish to have all those things in quantity?

Just a question, I don't mean to get "salty".

I like to stock my facilities to the max every day. The salt wouldn't be a problem, but the bait uses up a lot of gifts. I like to fish the 8 hr. waters at least twice a day plus the 24 hr. ones every day.

I hear ya on that.

For many months I simply bought from the "Pond" section for decoration. I could not be bothered or interested in the constant click of a fishing pole. No wonder people at the market say no to that kind of fishing.

The Sushi stuff was of little or no interest either. Those facilities were not what I wanted for my farms.

Then the Fish and Chips came along. So I got boats for fishing.

And I enjoy going to the market again with the 4x4s and the chainsaw, and now the boat.

I don't have a huge number of water items, but I have enough variety and quantity to even enjoy some fishing without bait. At least it comes in lots of 200.

Maybe that is what the devs should do for salt..... and maybe cheese.

Can you imagine getting 3 gifts of cheese, and it would surpass the whole output of a dairy plant's 540 ..... lol

But then, someone would buy a pizza hut for every farm, and complain they still did not have enough cheese.

LOL I have no trouble keeping up with bait and salt. I want to see my major facility farm at 100% but I kept running out of cheese so I fixed my issue by posting a link but I do it so late only the neighbors I'm related to work them and they only do the things I want done. I haven't yet gotten it to 100% utilization thanks to my Petrochemical Plant being on there. But one thing I think we need is to have cheese available as a gift and somehow be able to collect salt from at least the seacoasts. Not to mention making bait available for purchase. But for now, I'm happy because I get enough bait and have no plans to buy any other bodies of water other than another large lake with boat so I can get more salmon to use in my smokehouse.
