Seems like it would help to be able to click on the purchase and see what it needs before you choose to buy. Now I have this factory in my storage since I have no way to make it work.

If one of your FT neighbors or friends "post" to help work their facilities and they have an oil refinery, you 'earn' some of what you help them produce. So you CAN get the items to work your petrochemical plant. Same with fuel, you don't need an oil refinery or even an oil pump - just work someone's farm that has the oil refinery and you get the items, but at a slower rate that's all.

Yup. We need to be able to see what prerequisites each facility needs in order to function.
lt's only fair.

Sorry, had to add more.
lmagine some farmer goes and buys the tea shop >> with cash. Only after she gets it on her farm does she find out, that in order to have a successful shop, she now needs plentiful supplies of: coffee and tea (both of these are separate purchases). She also needs LOTS of milk, thus she needs cows (gifts) and the barn (purchase) to keep them in. She may feel she needs cinnamon which is a FC purchase.

lt's only people who come to the forum on a regular basis who have any clue about these things.

lt's only fair.

Hi, if you go to the store and click on the facilities tab beside each facility is a green box with a question mark in it. If you click on the green box it tells you what it makes.

Not ingredients but rather which other facilities are needed to actually finish all the steps to get the most money for your time. For instance to get the "smell good" products it takes oil pump + refinery + essential oils facility + perfume facility etc, etc, etc.

I disagree. It gives you some idea but does not tell you everything it produces or what is needed to produce the necessary ingredients. If there was a list of all needed items for the facility and then a list of what they make, that would be different.

Has anybody else noticed that half of the Thanksgiving items are now gone? Also, my gifts aren't showing up in the gift box now. This started after the time changed a couple of hours ago.

UPDATE: All Thanksgiving items are back now. Sooooo strange.

the timelines changed due to a crack in the space time continuum known as daylight savings so for a period of time these things ceased to exist and returned when the timeline was properly realigned ........lol

Haha! I must be in the middle of a fabric rip in time, then. The gift page switches back and forth between Halloween items and Thanksgiving items.
