Hi lucy503

That is a question we can't answer as the developers are the ones who decide the cost for the items in the game.

If you want to make a suggestion, please post it in our Suggesion section where we have all ideas grouped by theme to the developers to read.

You can't start a new thread there, but you can post as a reply to a thread that fits with your idea.

I think us farmers have been conned with these new tools. Prior to the release of the flower harvester 36x36 and the tree shaker 36x36 I had both of these but the 32x32. Here is mu complaint. I have wall to wall flowers and trees on two farms that are 46x46. When I use the flower harvester and tree shaker 32x32 it takes 36 mouse clicks to complete the work. When I use the upgraded flower harvester and tree shaker 36x36 it takes the same amount of clicks to finish the work, so it's no quicker. I feel I have been conned out of 100 farm cash. I wish I hadn't bothered to buy these new, upgraded tools.

I have held back for 6 weeks now, but I have to say I am so so disappointed about the new tools, flowers have always been a pain in the butt, so of course I purchased the flower harvester at once. So the old one took 36 clicks to harvest a farm and the new one, well it takes 36 clicks? So my disappointment and question is, why did I pay $50 for a tool that is no better than the last????

Hi Grumpdad,
I moved your post the General Feedback thread about tools since it is not about the current release.
The tools are not created for the number of clicks it takes to do a farm. They are increased by size to be able to harvest more flowers, trees, crops, etc. per click. Not everyone has full sized farms and it will do the slightly smaller farms in less clicks.

If you plant a 5 day crop and then fertilize it and it says Only good for 3 days do you need to re-fertilize it after 3 days or is it good for the 5 days.

Hi hairball,
No. The crop will stay fertilized the whole growing time. But if you plant another crop after that on the farm then you will need to refertilize as it has expired for the farm.

Sorry if I don't "get" this but it seems every tool (flower harvester, tree shaker, log truck, fishing boat) at the 20x level uses a set square area pinned to the top corner of the grid and works the grid.

Why don't the 20x harvester, plow, seeder work the same? They don't give the set square! They should.

Thank you.

Hi John,
That's what the EX tools are for. The 20x20 tools are for normal non-layered fields.

But the Ex harvest plow seed combine tools don't cover 20x? They start at only 5x correct?

Hi John,
They start at 5x yes, but that means it will do all the fields within that 5x5 area, which be as much as 400 fields if you have them set up in the staggered 9x method.

The 20x20 tools will do 400 fields too, but in a much larger non-staggered single fields area.
The EX 10x10 will do up to 1600 fields if they are staggered in the 9x pattern within the space of 10x10 normal fields. The regular 10x10 tools will do the normal filed size of 10x10, but that is only 100 fields.

The Ex tools are made to do all fields within a specific area. Where the regular tools are made to do a specific number of individual fields.
