OFFICIAL Hiring and Bonus Chest

[Sandie May Angel]

Guess everyone in the job market has gone on vacation, I can't find anyone there. Have done the language thing, refreshed the screen, came out of farm town, gone back in and it is still the same. I found one player there who was on below level 200, but am not comfortable in hiring her, for she is going to be slow. I want fast workers and there is no one else there in the market except her. So I guess I will only have half my farms done this evening for the one I have hired to do from Farms 1 to 17. The rest I don't care to and I can't find anyone in the job market to hire.

OK, going to sleep. Thank you for listening!

Hi Sandie May Angel,
As you are already set to English (US) try changing to another language, save, close and reopen your farms and set back to English (US), save and then close and reopen. Then go to market and see if you find more people there.

Hi kschell,
I moved your post to the subject thread about hiring.

You will need to explain what happens when you try to hire and can't.

I have gone to the market twice in the last 2 nights. I was hired with fuel but it took my fuel. I asked the hirers and they said that their fuel was used as well. Is there a problem as I only work when fuel supplied and keep my fuel for my workers. Looks like I will not be going back to the market to work if this is happening all the time.. Please check it out...thanks

Hi rodkay1,

There are 2 ways this can happen, it depends on how the farm owner set their fuel to be used and you won't know for sure unless you either ask them about it and see if they have enough to cover doing all their work OR you start work and see it's using yours.

If they have allowed their fuel to be used FIRST, it will use theirs until they run out and then it will use yours.

If they have allowed their fuel to be used LAST, it will use your fuel first and if you run out it with then start using theirs.

I have tested setting my fuel to be used first and the hired worker did get to use mine and not theirs, although I had to reload the game to see my fuel update with the amount used.

[rodkay1@bigpond.com]

They told me they had plenty of fuel and watched it go down as I was working and I was also watching my fuel go down. Maybe they are fibbing but if that is the case then that is why people cannot get workers as a lot of people are like me and save our own fuel for people to do our own farms and cannot afford to supply fuel for other peoples farms. It is very deceiving to see fuel supplied which encourages you to accept the job only to lose fuel...oh well rant over. Thanks and maybe a few of those options should be deleted...Cheers

Hi rodkay1,

All I can suggest is that the farm owner double check that they have allowed their fuel to be used first, perhaps something changed and it's no longer set the way they intended. If it's set correctly then they could try hiring you again and see if it corrects.

I am not sure if the hire offer window has enough room to be more specific about when fuel will be used. It's possible there is a character limit in that area.

If you would like to request any changes to the options for use of fuel, please post your idea in the Suggestions area of the forum where the developers will see it. You will not be able to start a new thread there. Click on the one with the title that most suits your idea, then scroll down the page and post in the reply box at the bottom of the page. Please Note: If you post in a thread and it's not the right one or is better suited to another one, your post will be moved to the correct one.

Hi WendyP,
I moved your post to the Help & Support subject thread about hiring as this has nothing to do with the items in the current release.


First please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close that as it is done.
If your farm is open close it. Then reopen .
https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/p...lear_memcached


Please go to the job market and set up to a hire and check that you have them Allowed to use your tools. It may have been that when they released the new stuff that it changed that setting.


Also go to your super neighbors box in your neighbor bar and click on the Edit Super-Neighbor and make sure all the settings are what you want them to be.
