Default No Facilities vs Earned FC

Look, I need to earn FarmCash. The only way I can earn FarmCash is to complete Quests. How can I complete the Quests, when I don't have the facilities required to complete them? It's one of those things where they think that if I don't have it, they think I'll buy one in order to complete the Quests, yet I need to complete the Quest for the FarmCash. When choosing what to do, the benefit should be for the player, not the company. If you want me to continue playing (everyone in general), you need to help me get there. One way to get there is not to sabotage my attempt. Please, Fix the program so that the facilities that we don't have, doesn't come up.

Hi Knolan,
I moved your post to the Feedback subject thread about quests as the thread in the Social area you posted in is only for posting your open quests for others to be able to buy from you when they can't find a step among their own neighbors.
If you wish to make a suggestion for this please post it in the Suggestions section where they are grouped by subject for the developers to see.

Y'all need to study probability a bit more.
Then why do I always get quests that require newly released FC facilities a day or two after that facility becomes available?

That only happens to me in the NCC. It does seem whatever algorithm used there pushes the newest facilities to the front, perhaps as an incentive to buy them. That's why I save my goodies up instead of working new service facilities right away. Inevitably, those facilities show up in the NCC within a few weeks, and I want to have lots to stock them.

But my regular and co-op quests are random. I do get new facilities and facilities I don't have, yes, but no more often than I get other facilities. I can go months getting facilities I have, and then boom-boom-boom, three or four facilities in a row I don't own. I've even gotten two of the exact same quest. Now that's random.

How are you supposed to complete a quest when you don't have enough help tags to collect what you need? On top of that NO ONE has what I need. I need cork and cork tiles and not one neighbor has a quest containing cork. No one in the quest help thread has it and I have clicked on dozens of people in the market place and the inn and no one has either item. I was given only one help ticket so if I ask for one I won't be able to ask for the other. At least give us a fair chance to collect the needed items.

Hi Lorraine,
I moved your post to the Feedback subject thread about quests as you are not making a suggestion. You can always tell what facilities you need for a quest by hovering the mouse pointer over the step to see what facility it calls for so you will know whether you have the facility to complete the quest. If you don't have it and don't want to buy it, then you won't waste time doing the steps before it.

Default Quests - Locked Facilities or Seeds

I have had two quests in the last two days requiring ingredients/items to be produced at locked facilities or harvest items. The one now requires salt from the mineral mind when it is locked until level 56 - I am on level 24. Another quest that had to sit there until it expired was to harvest vanilla which is locked until level 44. So I am locked out for quests until it expires. I have one quest completed 4 days ago. this quest that requires the mineral mine will be there for 7 days, so my one completed quest is useless now. Why do you make it so that you have to have facilities or sees that are locked?

Hi Donnie,
I am sorry, but they set the quests up as randomly assigned. They do not look to see what level you are or what facilities you own. So for those just starting out it is harder to get the quests going.

Not sure that this is where to post this, but here goes.
I see people posting in "live chat" that they need to borrow a facility to complete a quest.
How does this work? I did not know that facilities could be loaned out.
Thank you for any help on this.
