New Release -- October 20th, 2009

[Hanalei]

So, basically, except for the seeder (which apparently has major glitches) these are just decorations like windmills that don't work, cows that don't give milk, treehouses you can't climb, and hammocks that you can't lay on?

Why on earth would I harvest myself and GET LESS MONEY for the crops, when there are so many people and friends starting out that need the experience points and money?

For the look or for use when you don't have enough time to stick around and make sure someone else finishes...Or don't buy them :P

Come on, people. It's a free app, and one that is maintained and updated regularly, loved and used by many people...So many people asked for these tools, but they didn't have to give them to us - yet they did. They're not going to be loved by everyone, so if it's not for you, just don't use them.

I, for one, love to see things happening to the game. It's exciting! Any changes you guys are willing to spend time on I appreciate, whether or not it's something I'm going to use personally.

One thing that would be nice, for the machines that seed (or whatever) 2 crops at a time, and for the feature that allows you to plow 2 at a time, it would be nice to be able to do two in either direction, not just left to right. If that doesn't happen, I'll live but I'd love you guys so much if that was available!

I agree. A lot of the things on Farm Town are for aesthetics only (like all of the buildings) but lots of people still buy them. I enjoy Farm Town and appreciate it when I see new things and new options.

Just bought the Big Seeder and I LOVE it! It made the planting process so much faster and besides that - it made me feel super cool.

::::: adjusting John Deere cap :::::

Not sure yet if I'll buy the others, 'cause I like hiring workers - but huge thanks for the Big Seeder! Great addition and mine works just fine.

Not everyone can plow 4 fields at once. You have to have 8 neighbors. you also can't hire anyone to plow for you until you have 8 neighbors. Some people will never have that many neighbors unless they add complete strangers to their facebook just so they will be a neighbor (which is what my husband had to do.) I think he would have rather been able to purchase a tractor but now he has 4 people that he doesn't even know just so he can play the game a little more effectively.

Would you mind going through the step-by-step of using the Big Seeder? I just purchased one and then have had 2 friends give me a gift of fuel but I don't know what to do. People keep saying their fuel says empty so I don't want to miss a step and lose my fuel. The seeder is sitting on my farm and my 2 gifts of fuel or still waiting on me to click: "use." Do I click on the gifted gas cans first or what.

I'm not sure this is right, but it worked for me. All I did was buy the Seeder, then go to the Map and click on "Fuel Station". It started adding up all my points and worked like a charm. I didn't have to do anything else. I haven't had any gifted fuel yet but I'm assuming it would work the same way. There are instructions in the first post but I read instructions only when all else fails. But if you want the REAL scoop on it, I'd suggest reading the first post in this thread.

Thanks so much. I actually am one of those who do read instructions. I had read the first post but really wanted to hear from someone who had success with it. Several others haven't been so lucky. Thanks for the details. Your instructions make it seem pretty simple to me. I shall see tonight when I'm ready to plant. Wish me luck!

I love the new tools. Even if they were for decoration they are good additions. I may even plant some of the quick turn crops for a while just to play with them. I still plan on hiring though. You still get the extra percentage if you hire.

well said.if you don't like it or don't need it then don't buy it.as simple as that.
