Hi,

they are talking about the Job Completion Bonus. It's what you get when you a hired by a stranger from market. Once you start the job on that persons farm a chest icon will appear underneath the fuel icon top left of your game screen. Once you have completed all the jobs on one farm you click on the chest to claim your bonus, before you move on to the next farm.

That means I have never got any bonuses then. I had assumed they came automatically. I have never clicked on anything and just always when completing one farm moved on to the next farm to help.

Twice recently I hired someone from the marketplace to harvest and plow. When I went back to check the farms, they "plowed" a design onto my farm - one was a face, I have no idea what the other was supposed to be.
So i had to go back and plow the empty spaces. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

What I have noticed, is a preponderance of people at the marketplace wanting to work, saying - "solo only, no fishing, no trees, no flowers". yeah - I'm not hiring you.

people have "solo only, no fishing, no trees, no flowers". so they don't get hired to do work they don't have the tools to finish the job with.....they cannot claim the bonus chest if all the work hired for is not done....and if you have more than one farmer working on a farm, the bonus is messed up and no one gets it...

Daisy i've never had anyone do the designs on my farm but i get really sick and tired of all the 'demands' people make at the MP!! Just like you stated. I refuse to hire anyone with the word "SOLO" as their name. I've even seen some saying they only want LARGE layered farms to work solo!!! Pretty pathetic!! and disgusting.

WHEN I go to the MP to work....I always change the color in my name and put "all tools...solo plz." I say solo because I can not count the number of times I have been hired only to get to the first farm to find there are already 5 people there fighting for the work. And the work is almost done. If you have 5 farms that you need done.....hire 5 different people!!! One for each farm.

But then there are always people who like to mess with others on here.

I get that Jean - but conversely, I can't count the number of times I've hired someone for a 'solo' job, and they don't complete it. If I don't have time to check (Ahem, I'm supposed to be working), I always hire two people, to ensure the job gets done.

i too don't hire anyone thats picky as to what they will or won't do, if we all took this stance, then no one would get their fishing, trees or flowers done and we'd all have to do those jobs ourselves, YET, those same people who refuse then go on to hire people and expect them to do there farms, no justice there is there. Make the game more equal. x

quite frankly I am getting very tired of hiring workers who refuse to listen when told to tick HIDDEN in the Dim Out Non-Relevant Items for Tools in preferences so they won't miss anything...twice I have had fishermen using a Turbo Boat miss some of mine..its all on the same farm...and they have lost the bonus....some also miss whole groups of trees..not just the odd one....I think they try to work too fast and the tools actually miss these things...if only they would listen! I give up!! wish that neighbours could get the bonus, at least that way I could get some good workers...well thats my gripe for today, hehehe...lol

But EVERYONE has tools to harvest a few trees or flowers. I get that someone might not want to do an entire farm of something if they have to do it one by one. Most of my farms with crops have at least a row of trees or a flower bed. If workers say "No trees or flowers" - they won't finish the job, so I don't hire them.
