BTW - you can't string quests out to accumulate 5 because the average quest expires in less than 5 days. The longest I've had is 4.9 days.

My point is that as a beta tester, I'm pointing out what I consider a problem.
You can't get to 5 concurrent quests UNLESS you have a bunch of long quests that you can't complete because you don't have the facilities.

I have all the facilities and tools and I can't get to 5 concurrent quests. I thought the idea was to reward the higher level players

I have had quest for 7 and 8 days, so there are longer term quests.

How stupid is it to have a "gift" lifeline for a quest that nothing can be gained via gifts? "Produce Nylon Reel"... Exactly what part of that is available through gifts? I now have four open quests and cannot complete a single one because I do not have the required FC-only facility.

Good news is, I finally made it to level 30 and got my first quest; bad news is, the quest requires a sawmill which isn't available until level 44. Dingaling!!! Wake up devs!!!

you can do an ingredients request and get what you need gifted when people work it

I dont' think they are the same. The developers seem to choose a quest for something you do not own already. It is purely marketing to get you to buy other items using farm cash. I am a level 310 player and have attempted 3 quest all have requested I do something I do not have that cost farm cash. The life line if not working for me.

I've done 75 quests now across two sets of farms. They are still running on a 50/50 balance of farm cash required quests and those that require only facilities costing coin. They can't be more fair than this, and they are generated as random quests.

The life lines do work, but are not designed to 'finish' the last stage of a quest for you. I have used them sometimes to obtain products needed as a component of a quest, but sometimes you have to think outside the square to work out how best to use it for the ingredient you require.

'Nylon Reel' is produced in the Petrochemical Plant which is NOT a farm cash facility. If you have that plant on your farm, you can click on 'open', then beside the 'nylon reel' box - bottom left hand side of the window. You then click on the + sign and a window will open which then gives you the option to post a message to facebook asking for ingredients to make nylon reels.

When a facebook friend 'sends' (aka 'gifts') you the ingredients, you take it out of your gift box, store it in your facility manager, and then you can go to your petrochemical plant, open it again and click 'start batch' on Nylon Reel.

It's not stupid, and it does work. The quest are intended as a challenge.
