New Release -- February 15th, 2013 - Page 16

So we know there is a glitch with the sprinkler system ... just wanted to share my experience since I'm doing my weekend planting.
Before the update, I was required to either wait until all crops had been "planted" as indicated by my avatar processing all plantings, OR instead, save the planting and refresh the farm BEFORE I was allowed to water with my green sprinkler. The system would always say "Wait, I'm busy" if I tried to water before the planting had been completed.

That did not happen today. I was permitted to use my green sprinkler before all plantings had been processed. It showed that all the crops had been watered, but when I refreshed the page, the plantings that had not been processed before I watered actually were not. The result was a farm with half watered crops.

For now, the way to avoid the half-watered crops is to NOT water until all plantings have been processed/saved by the avatar. Better yet, save the work and refresh the farm before you water at all.

The devs will work this out soon, but there is something we can do to avoid the frustration in the meantime.

It is the weekend where slashkey is located. They deserve time off from work just like the rest of us.

refreshing and reloading doesn't work. What makes it worse is I had to pay real money to buy the orange sprinkler and it worked until the developers screwed it up. I have been refreshing and reloading and I'm still getting screwed up watering with the orange sprinkler. It would help if it didn't take forever for the avatar to finish. Maybe someday the developers will realize everyone doesn't want to use the avatar because it slows the game down considerably and give us the option to not use an avatar.

Then they should have tested the changes before they put them into effect when they were working

I didn't water til ALL my crops were processed and still only half the crops got watered, so that's not the problem.

they are usualy pretty good at fixing things fast. there could be many issues why it is not fix yet. also reamber it is beta game and we are all ginny pigs or tester.

We are the testers, that is why it is called beta.

In my opinion they deserve to have a weekends off and will continue working on the problems on Monday.
