Farm Town: The Most Fun Way to Prevent Alzheimer's

There's a study they did on nuns - followed them for many years and made notes on their daily activities and lots of other stuff, and then noted which ones developed Alzheimer's and which ones didn't. Turns out that one of the most important factors was NOT whether or not they had the "Alzheimer's Gene" but rather which ones continued to learn new things as they aged. Nuns who HAD the Alzheimer's Gene but who maintained a youthful outlook and kept learning new things did NOT tend to develop Alzheimer's. NEW things. In other words, you might think that working a crossword puzzle is good for your brain. It's not that it's BAD, but crosswords rely on retrieving stuff from long-term memory. You're not learning anything new to chock away into short-term memory.

So the way I figure it is that Farm Town is an excellent way to stave off Alzheimer's. Thank you devs for giving us new stuff to learn and keeping our brains youthful.

Completed Quests and Co-op Quest numbers missing

Please note that you can still collect your farm cash when the button turns blue, but you will not see the totals at the bottom or in the Show Quests. This happens every year at this time to everyone. The developers have been informed. Please be patient until they can set it right.

Thank you for posting this...I sure hope they fix this soon as my co-op quests are due to be cashed out for 2 FC in less than 2 1/2 hours...

Hi bjyhey,
You can still cash them out when it is time. Even though you can't see the numbers, they are still there and will count.

Ok may be silly question, but ...
Where is this staging area we have to keep clear ?

Hi NiMo,
It is where the products exported to you are stored. You will only see that products are there when the Import button for your service facility chains turns green. That way you know you have products you need to clear from there by importing them to your regular storage.
