That helps you move things around the farm without having to click on the item, then click on the command Move, then click to drop it where you want it. With the yellow hand you click to pick it up, move it where you want it and click again to drop it.

Just to add to that , it does not work with animals.

my request is simple- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE increase the amount of the factory consumables that we can gift. what i mean is very simple- you upped the salt gift to 200, how about doing the "upping" on all the other items, like tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, milk, eggs, etc etc????? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE???? i KNOW i can't possibly be th only person that thinks is a GREAT idea...

Well, either that, or get rid of them altogether.

Well, yes -- but what's that got to do with it? ;-)

I agree Increase them.

Increase them to what? What would the tomato gift have to be to actually make a dent in the thousands of tomatoes you need to run the facilities that need them at full production? 200? 500? 1000?

The gifts should be things you can't grow or produce yourself. My FB gift page is filled with 25 x sugar and 15 x blueberries. Frankly, I don't get why people send this stuff in the first place -- it's not like it's at the top of the page. They have to actually scroll down to find it. When I'm accepting gifts, the "worthless" ones are last. Yes, you can exchange them -- thank goodness. But the animals, trees and baits are the ones I collect first when I'm short of time. Which seems to be most of the time, lately. :-)

So, I'm not saying "get rid of gifts." I'm saying get the useless stuff off the gift page.

Edited to Add: Sorry! Just realized this wasn't a "Suggestions" thread. So, to keep it OT -- I *love* the stuff in this latest release. The combine rocks. I've given up trying to hire people most days -- I end up cleaning up what they don't do, or have to hire several people because one only harvests, the other only plows. One will do trees, but not flowers. So, I haven't hired in a long time. The combine makes working my farms a breeze. Thanks!!!

I use them all the time. Would love to see all gifts increased to 200. May not make much of an dent in what you need. but every little bit helps. Especially cows milk, Sugar, blueberries, Strawberries.

I use those gifts all the time. I wish you could buy all tress and not just recieve as gifts. Pain in the butt taking the trees from your gift box and putting them on your Farm.

But Keep those Gifts coming.

perhaps a gift token system would solve the problem to a degree anyway ...i have posted this suggestion 10 days ago in suggestions

[RomanticSoul]

and I agree...Would love to see more farms. Hard to keep up with all the stuff I need with only 9 farms.

The yellow hand is brilliant for moving trees even stumps
i had set some (+ 100) in the wrong place and it was so easy on full scene to move them
