I knew there was going to be something having to do with seafood/sushi, so I have been saving my rice and fish. Thanks for proving me right! And the coffee grinder! Great updates! Thanks!

Fish ice cream ewwwwwwwwwwww

Yo do realize that this is a video game right? It doesn't have to be realistic and you concerns about "factory farming" really don't make a whole lot of sense given the fact that this IS A VIDEO GAME! If you are not going to use the new facilities (as you stated about the coffee grinder) then why complain if those that want to use it are happy with its functionality?

Our devs are hard at work trying to give us what we ask for and it seems rather inappropriate to complain about what they give us. They cannot and will never be able to please all Farm Town users. If you don't plan to use some feature that they give us great-don't use it but don't come and complain about it either!

Not trying to be rude but if we wanted reality we could go buy real cows and coffee ice cream then real world concerns might apply.

I don't consider your comments rude at all and yes, of course I realize that this is a game and I am not "complaining," merely commenting and exchanging comments with others. One person, in fact, explained that in the real world, coffee ice cream is made from ground coffee, by the way.
As for fish farming, another person (in this or one of the other threads) had brought that point up first.
One of the fun aspects of FT has been that, unlike that "ville" game, it's stayed a bit more realistic in design and concept.
And, no, I wouldn't expect any game to actually replicate reality.
Thanks for your perspective on FT.

NO you will lose the animals!

That is the way it works. You are not supposed to transfer buildings with animals in them. If you want to transfer the animals to another farm, move them one by one by putting them into storage and then taking them out of storage on the new farm. Then you can put them into a building you have on that farm.

Today I've been able to add more cows to the dairy shed. I'm hoping they won't now disappear. I can't find any posts about the limit being changed.
Anyone know anything?

Wonderful new additions, sadly coffee is disappearing from the grider and seafood from the seafood resteraunt, each time I've loaded the factories the pending items disappear and are also gone from my main inventory. Any ideas on how long before this is fixed? I won't load either of the factories again obviously but spent a pretty penny for them to be just eye candy

ok what is the DB: W68, MPS:F5 notation at the bottom of some of our posts? If anyone could tell me what that means I would appreciate it.
