New Release -- August 30th, 2011

[jsbh821]

Awesome updates as usual! Thanks to all who make this a great game!

[Satis]

Having let it settle a bit, these are my feelings about the upgrade.

1) I like the concept of the red sprinkler but I REALLY want the old brown one back for just doing flowers.

2) I would like the old notice on crops showing 'percentage of growth' to be made available as an optional alternative to the new 'number of hours to go', which I find very confusing.

3) I'd like the wording 'Ready in 1.3 Days' to be changed, as I find that if I just hover the mouse and glance at the message, I often mistake this for 'Ready to harvest.' It slows me down when doing a swift inspection. Perhaps 'Harvestable in 1.3 Days'?

4) A long-term wish; I would love to be able to group items in the Facility Manager according to my own design. For example, I'd have everything that needs cheese together, and everything that requires sugar.

Have you tried re-loading the game, clearing your cache, re-booting your browser or PC?

Just a thought - it happened to me but behaved when I closed the game and re-opened it.

I have lost crops due to mis-reading the "ready" message in haste, so I like number 3. Also, a customized facility manager is a long-time dream of mine, too. I would like to be able to exclude some items from "start all",although I love the concept (e.g. I NEVER make peach liqueur because I would rather use the peaches elsewhere, so I can't use the bottling machine in the distillery). Small thing, but a "dashboard" for the facility manager where we could arrange facilities in a preferred order, choose the order in which they fill, choose what items to start each time, etc. would be terrific. And, of course, my longed-for "super forklift" that would store ALL items at a click. One can dream....

A few things I've noticed since the update:
My oil pumps Appear to be working super fast, last night I emptied the done and started all, 28 pending. This morning, 26 pending, 5 done........the math doesn't work, lol. When I stored the "done", I got 2 from each pump, again, the math doesn't work, lol.
I emptied a textile mill, moved it to another farm. I later decided to move it somewhere else, forgot I had already emptied it, check it and it had stuff done even though it was 0 pending and 0 done when I moved it.
I cleared my cache, etc last night so it isn't a problem with that.
It's not a big deal really but if it is happening with the pump and a problem with the textile mill, it could be happening in more facilities.
Thanks for the wonderful update, you all are amazing

Thanks for your hard work. I must admit that I really enjoyed irrigating all of my neighbors farms, even if there were no flowers. After all, crops need irrigation as well.

If you are having problems with things.. its always a good thing to read on here first because generally someone has the answer and you can solve it straight away and get on with the game lol

I have the same problem. I tried Taz's fix and I am still unable to post!

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work. I love all the new levels and great new releases. I'd love to know why I keep running out of sugar. I plant and plant and plant and I still run out. Does anyone know why? Thanks.
