I have all facilities except for the oil refinery and stone windmill (don't need them) and am managing OK (oh and by the way, I have yet to purchase any FC....got them all through offers and saved up FC from leveling up to level 80). I don't stress out about keeping the facilities at 100% production...just not possible with only one farm dedicated to crops. I am able to produce something in every facility every day right now and that's fine by me, even if I can't always produce every item in every facility every day.

Love this game! Keep up the good work devs. A 4th farm and new levels would be fantastic though.

Seven houses on one farm now? And, you want a 4th farm? LOL!

CORRECTION: Eight houses! Ugh!

LOL..well, sure, but the people have got to live somewhere, right? I suppose I could make a tent city, but that would get chilly in the winter. Farm #4 would be dedicated to crops since my farmtown minions now have nice places to live and eat. The employment rate is dropping however with only 1 farm to work at. I'd hate for some of those houses to go into foreclosure.

Thanks. I really like your first farm with the whole White House effect using the double mansions. Nice and clean and uncluttered.

Of course this is also true for some of the other crops such as blueberries and raspberries. And I definitely won't be hiring others to harvest them, because if I did grow flowers to harvest, it would only be a portion of those on my farm, not all of them, and there is no way to limit which ones are harvested when hiring.

I don't have the Flower Shop, but as I'm understanding it, the flowers do grow back after being harvested. That cost to sale price on the roses does sound lake a good profit margin.

Wow got 96 units of fuel from the refinery when I refueled this morning this one's got to be the winner!

As you do in real life, utilize the space you have, and get rid of what you don't really need.

LOL How true. I was browsing a few older posts last evening and sure enough, "more space, more space" was a pretty consistent theme.

[quote=farmermuff;3555602]Some new levels would be nice. With all the new ways to earn XP before you know it half the people playing the game will be at level 80. I am also not a fan of all the new facilities. We just dont have the space for them. Why couldnt the sandwich, pizza, and taco shop have been one shop? Agree that a multi-functional restaurant would be a good option. Perhaps not instead of, but in addition to, just as there are different type barns. I know, barns aren't functional, but my comparison is to having choices.

I guess what I am trying to say is, its time for FT to start developing the existing facilities more. And start making some of these facilities that only produce one item, produce multiple items. Agree. This concept applies to not only the food shops, but also to other facilities. The Diary Plant could have also produced ice cream as many small dairies do. The bakery could "serve" freshly ground coffee and more baked items. More end products could be added to the Preserves Factory. Etc. This could give players options to acquire specialty facilities or make greater use of the basic ones.

If you guys are afraid you wont make money off of it, just charge for the right to produce that item. Like if you created something like a general factory that produces, sugar, chocolate liquor, olive oil, corn flour and wheat. And you want to add peanut oil and ground coffee to it, just charge coins or FC to "upgrade" the facility to produce those items.
Interesting suggestion.Though I'm happy with what I have now, this could be an option for the developers to consider.

Same thing happened to me. I had one gift of fuel and when I went to use it it went into my storage where my only option was to sell it. I also ask Why???

Nevermind I found the answer in help and support. I should've looked there in the first place
