I don't have any trains at all. So the ones he has missed you have to do one by one now? I like the old way, just say that you had 50 facilities on a farm, you would do 25 and he would do the rest.

The mayor still does 50% of the factories on a farm for those that doesn't have any trains.

It is just now that they have added that the mayor can do all farms from the first farm you get to if you have 2 trains with 10 boxcars each, but if you don't have the 20 boxcars then the mayor will work only 25 - 40% of the workable farms as long as they have at least 3 workable farms.

You only need the trains if you want the mayor to do everything. Otherwise You work 50% of the 60% of the farms and then the mayor takes over and does the rest for you.

Folks, I have been to market several times now to uncheck products needed for new facilities and there are no boxes to do so. If this has been addressed I thank you in advance! Marsha

You don't have to uncheck anything for the new facilities. Anything that is used for the new facilities has already been taken out of the Non-ingredients.

Before this update, the game automatically saved the option I use most often at the market when I go to sell. Non-ingredients under the storage tab, and animals under the items tab. Now it reverts back to 'all' every time. Any chance this a glitch instead of a change?? I hope it can go back to remembering my most common choice.

I absolutely think this is one of the best updates EVER, there have been a few before but with the Major doing all facs if you own 2 engines with 10 cars each is FANTASTIC, now it is like before you have to really be fast to get the posts. I haven't really worked anyone facs for about 2 years but am doing them now everyday. My friends and neighbours already loved me before but they are madly in love with me now, so thanks Raul and team :-)

for reference for us no train people. it was stated the mayor would do 25% - 40% of the number of farms as long as there were 3 or more farms to do.

if your neighbor has N farms, your friend does Y farms, and the mayor does M farms.

N Y M %
3 2 1 33
4 3 1 25
5 3 2 40
6 4 2 33
7 5 2 28
8 5 3 37.5 *will probably be this one
8 6 2 26
9 6 3 33

and so it seems the most efficient number of facility farms is 3 with the majority of the facilities on the last farm.
