Really? We actually get a portion of the crops when we harvest for someone else? When did this happen? I know we get a portion of the fish but I didn't know that had been expanded to the other crops.

This started with the June 7th update.

Here's the quote from the announcement by Raul. http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=332914

9. When you work for others to harvest crops, trees, flowers or to fish, in addition to the coins you get, the Mayor (not from the harvest of the employer) will compensate you with a share of the products:

- When harvesting crops or trees for others you'll get about 10% of what you harvest
- When harvesting flowers for others you'll get about 25% of what you harvest
- When fishing for others you'll get about 50% of what you catch

All products you earn this way will go into your storage. [/quote]

To get honey, you have to buy the beehive facility. Then you can "order" the honey. The cinnamon trees are not harvested, you need to use the axe and cut them down just like the bamboo, pine, and oak trees. If you don't cut them down, you will never have any cinnamon.

You do not harvest cinnamon trees. You chop them with the axe in the tool box.

After you chop them you send them to the cinnamon factory unless you plan to sell the cinnamon logs.

I love all the new goodies!!! Thanks for the great boat!! That fish net grabs them up fast!! I really disliked the fishing because it was too time consuming but now, I look forward to heading out with my fishing pole to see what I can catch!!

I would so love to see a gasoline powered chain saw for doing the trees. The axe takes forever!! I would also like a better way to water flowers. It was fine when you only had them as decorations but now, you need a LOT of them to run the flower shop and it's really hard to water them. Maybe have a larger patch and charge more or give us a hose to use.

The new buildings are awesome!!!! I switched both of mine. I love the colors and styles of the facilities in the last few updates. The coffee shop and the other one that uses the herbs.. both very nice!!

Last request, please give us a replacement for that huge oil refinery! It takes up such a huge amount of space and makes the farms off balance!!

Keep up the good work!! Looking forward to next update!!

Would be cool if the 4 plot harvester could speed thru the flowers too!
Hell, it would be worth the fuel on farms with a bazillion flowers.


Of course, there is a wide open opportunity for the Developers to introduce
a whole new tool just for flowers, lol...like the Shaker for the Trees....right?



Endless Opportunities ~ And they do all this just for us Farmers!


<<< haz a warm n fuzzy moment

Guess I should plant my farms and quit screwing around...lol, but I got
lost on the web looking for Farm ideas n what have you on the Google...LOL
