It wouldn't be bad if the lifelines matched the quest. I have a quest to make the copper tub which is made in the animal supplies facility. I don't have that and it is reasonably far down on my priorities. I do have neighbors that have it though so I clicked the lifeline hoping to get it from working their facilities. I got the 'get items as gifts' lifeline. What good is that?! You can't gift any of the items in that quest.

If making the copper tub was your last step no lifeline can help you with that anyway?

I've done over 50 quests now across two sets of farms, and because of all the comments in the forum I've begun to take special notice and now keeping a record.

What I have found so far is that time and time again my given quest has included NO farm cash facilities.

I have to say that, like a couple of the others, I don't mind that the devs are using a fun way to market the farm cash facilities that do turn up in a quest. They provide us with a fantastic game that we all enjoy, and after all, it is still our choice to buy them .... or not! The quests are intended as a fun, extra curicular for our farms, not the be all and end all.

Hi! I have probably completed about 25 quests now and i have found them to be a fairly even mixture of cash and coin facilities. i have not needed to buy any facilities and am still waiting for that time to come!! I created a farm specially for quests but got tired of it however since i got rid of it i really miss it so will be doing another one!!! Typical!! I think if you have been playing the game a long time and have accumulated lots of facilities the quests are fun but as others have said they are a nice little addition to the game. i still am glad they are only one per 20hrs or i would never leave the computer lol

Absolutely agree with everything you have said - including the part about never leaving the computer if we had more than one quest per 20 hours

I have just spent the past half hour or so back tracking through every quest I've done so far - 51 of them - and yes, I have kept a record

I have found them to be exactly a 50/50 mix of cash and coin facilities. As far as I'm concerned this is extremely fair.

Mind you, we are still waiting for Raul to bring on the 'occasional' Farm Cash rewards

if you think about it the Dev's have again given us what the majority have asked for...... a new challenge and some added strategy if you think about it.......some pf us have farms designated for quests only....and i am one of them.........my sister did but got frustrated.....she got rid of hers......i also get aggravated when i don't own a FC needed facility but then again I also get aggravated when the quests are too easy......to me it's something fun we can choose to participate in or not , just like we can choose to buy FC facilities or not ...we can play for free or play and pay real $$$ to any degree and still have fun no matter how we choose to play....Great Job Dev's.......

The one thing I am not seeing is the simple fact that game has changed if we want to do the added quests. Slashkey is making money, it is a business. That is a given. But I see FaceBook at work here too. They made changes to how things are done. That one of them is to pay for FB as well as ie; the increase in buying farm cash. Also FB has put this on all games that I have seen. And it rubbs me the wrong way. More free goodies whether it is in quests or not does not matter to me. If I feel like doing a quest I will. But I think the devs have done a good job trying to keep this game in the free market idea.

curious about the quests, i have had a few now with the new thing of sending the final product into a service facility .....the thing here is for a couple of the ones i had there are maybe two diff service facilities that you can load that product to....now a couple of times for me and once for my sister we didn't know what the final facility was that we needed until we completed the whole quest...now one i just did thankfully for my bank account it was a coin purchase one that i didn't have but for sissy it was a FC facility and it was rather lengthy quest she did...is there a way that we can be informed of the final facility needed before we spend several days on the quest please........
