The gifts are used prior to crops in the facilities, but neighbors can't buy gifts from you for the co-ops. Don't know if it's meant to be that way, but that's how it is.

This ship thing is for those who are playing the game all day, not for those playing for a couple of hours here and there!!!

Having to log in all day to send ships on their way isn't practical for anyone. We're all waiting for a way to opt out.

The first part of this response is not true. That's the way it's supposed to work, but in fact it doesn't - harvests end up getting used in the facilities before gifts. This is my experience: I have been accepting most of my gifts as pineapples. I currently have 28,164 gift pineapples and 253 harvested pineapples. I used to have over 20,000 harvested pineapples, but that number has been steadily decreasing since I haven't been planting them, but only accepting them as gifts, and the harvested pineapples have been getting used in the facilities rather than the gifted ones. I've reported this on the help thread, but was told it didn't really matter unless I wanted to sell them, in which case I should submit a ticket. I think the developers need to look into this without my having to submit a ticket, which is why I'm responding to this post on this thread.

Yes, Tiger posted that the order has changed in this post over in Help & Support. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other because I never sell things I need for my facilities.

Hi earlgray and Dulcinea,
We did ask the developers when you (earlgray) brought this up before and were told that yes it had been changed to use regular first, then large and last gifts. This is the way they set it. The only question now is whether gift crops can be bought in the co-op quests if that is all you have left. That question has been sent to Support to determine as we moderators have no way to test this.
If you don't agree with this order of use then please post your suggestion to change it back in the Suggestions.

I have brought this matter up with support and the only response that they thought fit was
"Hi Stephen,

Originally, gifts were used first, but this was changed.

Rob

Slashkey Support Staff"

Clearly that do not see it as an issue!!!!!!!

Hi Grumpdad,
We have asked the developers and the rules for co-op quests have never allowed the use of gift products for co-op quest buying.

But the order of usage has been altered after that decision, by changing one rule and not the other it has effectively made gifts useless, surely this should be addressed???

Hi Grumpdad,
Changing the order did not have anything to do with whether co-op quests could use gift products or not. That rule has been in place since the beginning of the co-op quests.
You can still use your gifts (tomatoes in your case) to fill your facilities and can even sell them to others farmer to farmer in trade. The only exception being in the co-op quests others cannot buy those tomatoes from you because they are from gifts.
If you wish to make a suggestion to change this please post your suggestion in the Suggestions section of the forums. You can not start a new thread in that section, but you can reply to one that fits your suggestion.
