Does anyone else think this is an excessive and unnecessary length of time? :S

Hi, they both actually take 7 days top complete the collection of ordered goods, the only difference is you can collect the items already produced from the semi at any time.

It takes 7 days ...... for now......

Once the "BOOST" button is activated, it may be that others can either "work" the train, or we can add fuel to make it go faster..... or something else to speed up production.

I just need more chicken..... and more chicken... and then some more chicken. I seem to have plenty of everything else available no matter how often I post.

So if the semi trucks quadruple the chicken output, or if the "gift" chicken is raised to 200 (like bait), that would be great. Or perhaps a freight car with lots of cluckers on it.... and a processing plant to wring their little necks..

Since this last update, I have had a terrible time trying to work my own farms. Everything is so slow. I am getting very bored and frustrated with this game. It takes forever to work facilities on neighbor's farms and now harvesting my own farms. I actually get sleepy trying to finish all the work. I bought all the latest tools to get things done quickly but it still takes hours. I have followed directions given to speed things up but it doesn't work. Please get things back to where they were before the update or i'm afraid i'm going to quit.

same here


I know we should expect a slowdown with expanded farms, but I have had all my farms expanded to the max for some time now. It would occasionally be somewhat slow... occasionally... but now it does take so much longer to combine my fields.

I just noticed that it looks Farmtown needs to update its information that it puts on post about the game...

"Multiplayer Farming, Fishing and Factory game with 14 Farms, 330 Levels and 150 Factories, Restaurants and Service Facilities"

hehe.... did you not hear the news.... FT is now regressing and dropping one farm and removing 25 levels at a time at each release....

the devs figured that the players had nothing to complain about, so they decided to give them something.

Sigh....

I broke down and bought the other three cars. My train unloaded fine and I tinkered with it's placement before I dispatched it. Now it is froze and I can't move it. Before today I could move it even tho it was dispatched. The developers wanted feedback according to the 4 am post this morning on the first page.

Hi there,

Once you've dispatched the train, it should remain locked until it's returned and you've unloaded it. That's the only time you can move it. It shouldn't have let you move any of the connected freight cars before, the only thing i can think of is that either some of the freight cars were not connected to the already dispatched train or that it was part of the original problem which has now been fixed.

I've never been able to move my train once it was dispatched. It must have been a glitch.
