I planted rose hips and hibiscus for her to harvest tomorrow but now I'm thinking maybe it only works for one item?

No you can use the lifeline for multiple items Susan. Did you have her harvest at least 10 mango trees. Remember when working for others you have to harvest 10 to get 1 as you only get 10%.

Oh, duh! Ok, I'll try again. Thanks for the reminder. She'll be a happy kitty. : )

I do not have the time to go thru all 72 pages of this post. I needed cotton for a quest and hired someone from the market to harvest and plow for me..including a field of cotton. I did not get credit for it. Where does it say in the quest rules you must harvest the crop yourself. Now I have to plant another field of cotton and wait. Oh well, I have Hobos making camp under my bridge waiting for the freight train. They are trashing my farm with their empty bottles of Ripple and Thunderbird wine. Maybe Ill just join them until the cotton is ready. Oh by the way..do you think the FT Sanitation crew could come by and clean up the mess and drop off a porta potty???

There is a Blue Plastic Outhouse (sure looks like a porta-p) for the normal-inflated cost of 18,000 coin.... or the pink one (which no respectable hobo would use) for $10 Farm Cash. Then there is the Waste Truck for a mere 450,000 coin.

I let the hobos waiting at my farms use the gas station rest room.

In the initial release information in January release notes it says:
Right now, Quest Steps need to be completed by working by yourself in your farm or facilities. That is to say, crops or products you get as a bonus working for others, as gifts or by trading at the market won't count, but they will in the future. For now, if you hire others to harvest it wont count either, this may change as well.

Stoneface,

I am laughing so hard by your response that I may have to wait in line at your GAS Station...Too funny

Did I do something wrong or does making wine and champagne really take days to complete and then you only get 3 or 4 mil coins for it where as other quest you can complete 1 or 2 days and get 10 - 15 mil for? I have had quest for 3 and 4 year red wine and 5 and 6 year champagne and they have all taken a few more days that other quest.

The amounts you get are based on how many steps first, then by how fast, your level, etc. Since the number of steps to do the wines are few but just long then...

and yet another quest that I cannot complete because I don't have the facility that costs farm cash. frustrating. I wish there were some way to delete a quest that we are unable to complete. I have a limited income and will not be buying farm cash at any time. it was great when we could earn the farm cash. now, it's almost impossible. we have to wait until you upgrade to a new higher level. even the promise of "farmcash awards by the mayor for completed quests" hasn't been fulfilled. losing interest in this game and I've been playing for over two years. if things don't change I will sadly be giving up a game I've really enjoyed until now.

I just opened the quest to make an aged Champagne. I noticed that the time to make a barrel of Champagne was 30 hrs instead of the 3 that the facility says. Will it make a difference in the timing? Will it go off the facility or the quest?
I enjoy the quests and don't have any problems - even when I don't have a facility. I just let it expire and open a new one the next day. Thank you for a fun game where everyone can play the way they want without pressure to do it one way.
