New Release -- September 26th, 2015

[PK...]

Suddenly, my green hand is unable to move a facility on top of crops... Really has made life miserable. If I can find a certain place along the edge I can move them outside the farm, but other than that I can't move anything. Can't move ponds or seacoasts inside the farm, either....

I have restarted the game, restarted the browser, and cleared memcache. Any other suggestions?

This feature was working a couple days ago, or whenever the last time I used it...

Thanks...

Hi PK,

I don't do what you describe as a rule, but gave it a go to test it for you. I had no problems moving my waters on or off the farms and with the facility all i had to do was wait for the footprint to turn green before it would let me set it down. Perhaps this is a temporary problem.

I have the same problem. It worked until this morning, and now it's no longer possible. In fact I had no problems on Chromium (and only slowness on Chrome) until now. I suspect it's because of either a) the flash problem with hidden items becoming unhidden even when unchecked (which only started today for me) or b) the removal of the red squares when hiding trees etc (which is new from today), or c) a combination of the above.

The red squares - they disappear anyway if you hide and reload, and they are extremely useful, e.g. when planting small trees behind bigger ones - then you know where not to plant. Now you have to guess and hope your aim is good.

If this red square issue prevents placing trees and flowers and facilities on top of crops, it will drive a lot of people away from the game ... and so the devs should consider reversing that change.

I'm having problems aiming the smaller tools (which I use for harvesting small numbers of fields on my quest farm) - the 1x2 harvest tool harvests trees as well, so now I either need to wait till this is all fixed before doing quests properly, or moving all my trees to the upper end of the farm (which I have done tonight.)

It DOES appear that the "Red Square Fix" is the culprit of this nasty problem. My problems also only started today, and I strongly agree with RuralVirologist that the Devs roll this fix back and find another way to attack the major problem.

I can handle things not staying hidden, but the new issues related to the red squares is a real deal breaker. I also concur that this will drive people away faster than anything else that has happened to date.

I am hanging in by the skin of my teeth....

Please, please undo whatever you did last night. I liked my red squares - they were very helpful. In fact now I LOVED my red squares. What was the point in removing them?
