Now,with the fact that if you took an average of quest from a large enough sample,it may in fact be that those with more factories are gaining more fc than those without.However,it would be due to the fact that they are able to,on average,complete more quest.Just like buying lottery tickets,the more you buy,the more CHANCES you have to win...The odds however remain the same for each one.

This is the fairest way to do this.A completely random quest has a completely random chance of giving 1 fc.

Kudos! Now I can rest easy! I have spent my last $1 (U.S.) on facilities for the quests. Thank you for this explanation. Now:

HOW ABOUT EXPLAINING THIS TO ALL THE PLAYERS?
It could be added to the message we see when we first click on a new quest, either high-lighted or in bold italic with underlining.

In case no one has said anything yet, Virginia, it doesn't work that way. No-one can complete the final step in anyone else's facility, each of us has to use our own. You can help someone get ingredients by letting them harvest, or by sending them a gift, or by selling them what they need, but you cannot build the final product for them, and they cannot work your facilities to get the final product. +1 for trying to help, tho.

Plus, they would need to have the correct lifeline at just the right time that would allow them to work for you to get ingredients. the chances of getting what you need are much better if you just go to the market and ask to buy what you need or work for it.

So, what is the answer for the quests that require factories that we do not have and require FC to buy them? Is this a ploy to make more money for FT?

This is not a ploy for FT to make more money, if you do not have the factory to complete a quest, you will just have to let that quest expire and wait for the next one to open the next day. The quests are picked at random and FT doesn't care if you buy the factory needed to complete the quest.

This question has been asked and answered many times throughout this thread. Those who have done all the quests so far and have kept a record have found that they have been almost exactly a 50/50 balance of those that require farm cash facilities and those that require only coin facilities.

They have been quite fair about it and the choice is ours.

All businesses have ways they try to get you to part with your money. Whether or not you part with it is up to you.

I don't have all the cash facilities and I have not been able to complete all the quests. No biggie. I just wait and see what is available the next day.

if you have the EMPLOYEE lifeline you CAN work neighbours facilities to get what you need....I have done it and so have some of my friends... its only the final product you cannot get by working others facilities...

I have done a Quest a day since they started and am now thoroughly bored with the whole thing
