OFFICIAL Hiring and Bonus Chest

[JKatz]

I have a 900 level farm with over 170M fuel so I always hire people to use my tools & fuel. I try to hire people who need to level up when I can. Lately, even when I hire to use my fuel, it isn't using my fuel. What is going on with that? My farms are so huge, they are depleting all their fuel & that creates a huge problem for them.

Is this a glitch or is there something we need to be doing differently?

Hi JKatz,

No it's not a glitch. The game will always use the workers own fuel first. It will only use yours, if you have allowed it, when they have run out so they can continue working using the bigger tools.

Wow, that seems so unfair trying to help a 120 level farmer with my huge farms. She's saving up to buy a refinery now. I had no idea I was exhausting her resources. Thank you for the quick answer.

Hi JKatz,

You are welcome. It's always been that way that the workers fuel gets used up first. The use of your own, when they run out, was added at a later date to allow them to continue working with the bigger tools so they won't quit. All we can suggest is that someone who has a small amount of fuel makes sure they get their own work done first before going to get hired and that if they don't yet have a refinery make sure they are exchanging gifts for fuel.

If you'd like to make a suggestion about this for the game please do so in the suggestions area of the forum where all the ideas are gathered by subject for them to see. .

Are there issue with bonuses? I've had a few occasions recently where I've been hired to do several farms, the first few h&p yields xp and bonus xps then the rest, also h&p yield bonus coins, but no xp either for the h&p or for the bonus. Is this a glitch?

Hi jackiep63

We are not aware of any glitch adding xp while hiring. But just in case, try to run memcache before going to marketplace to get a job.

Clik in the link below, a new window will open with a short list of unsettings. Close that window and your farm if it was open during the clearing. Then reopen your farms.

Need to work on the market. Got hired for 26 farms to fish. It started out fine but as I moved on to the next farm there wasn't anything to fish and the next one. About the 4th one I was able to fish. Then again no fishing for the next few.When I have hired someone from the market and if there isn't any work on a farm that I had selected I get a pop up tell me so. Why then did it not work for this farmer who hired me? Was very annoying to go through 26 farms (which by the way loaded very slow)to find out there were only 3 to fish. I hope ft will work to make this work better Thanks

Hi sharbroil,

The game only checks the first farm you are hired for to see if there is work appropriate to the hire to be done. The onus is on the farm owner to check their Show Work Info to make sure they only hire for farms with work on. It may be that they don't know that option is available and perhaps a polite message letting them know may help them to hire more accurately in the future.

Please, if you would like to make a suggestion on this, all suggestions for the game need to go in the suggestions area of the forum, where all ideas are gathered together in one place for the developers to see. Here's the link to that section, you can't start a new thread there, what you do is reply to one that most suits your idea >>

I have a friend who just ask me a question. She says she has had a couple people hire her and she gets a pop up that says they will only be paying 50% of the bonus.

This is what she told me: "I am puzzled...I had 2 requests and when they hired me from the market..instead of the usual message ...you will be working on X number of farms etc. ..it reads something like, today I am only paying 50% of the amount for work done etc. etc. I an baffled where it comes from. "

I thought the game determined what you were paid for working for someone.
