Good idea. 'Course we'd have even more need for our wheat flour. Though, here's a thought -- what about using oats (oat flour which could be made in the same mill as the wheat flour) for special oat pancakes. And, of course corn cakes, too.

we just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes.

1. 7 trees: cedar, star, pecan, tamarind, pistachios, papaya and autum tree.

2. 9 crops: green beans, cantaloupe, spinach, cauliflower, rhubarb, oregano, lavender, sesame seeds and parsley.

3. 17 new halloween items (coins): these were launched a few days ago.

4. New, smaller version of the oil refinery: use the 'switch view' option from the item menu.

5. Extended tool box: the tool box vertical bar now have a green arrow on top, when you click on it, it will expand and display every single tool in the game, including the mobile sprinkler, chainsaw, boat, manure spreader and all seeders. A few observations:

- if you have a tool on the current farm or on the item storage you can access it from the expanded tool box as well.

- if you have a tool on storage, you can also use the less powerfull version of that tool even if you don't own it, for example, if you own a 3x3 seeder, you can also use the 2x2 and 2x1 seeders.

- when you launch the manure spreader from the extended tool box, you'll have to click anywhere on the farm to fertilize it, you'll see a quick animation when you do this. You can also navigate to another farm and continue fertilizing. In a few days, this will also be the behaivor when fertilizing farms using the manure spreader tool located on a farm.

6. 4x4 seeder, 4x4 harvester and 4x4 plower (fc): plant 16 fields at a time.

7. Inter-user trading of primary products: when you click on the avatar of another user (where all hire options are) there is a new option named 'sell products to' will allow you to sell your primary products to other users that need them for their facilities.

- primary products are products comming directly from plants (fruits and vegetables), from animals, flowers or fish.
- the purchaser don't need to be a friend or a neighbour of the seller, this option can be used everywhere, including the market.
- every user can purchase as much as 500 products from other users every 12 hours. Notice this is almost a full farm of crops, or many fish or animals products that you can buy without having to work for them wasting space and time.
- the total price that the seller and purchaser see may be different, as purchaser is always paying the price for a medium box, even if seller is selling a combination of large and medium boxes. The difference comes from the mayor, so the the seller don't lose money either.
- the seller can sell the products:

1. 10% below market price: If seller wants to give a friend a break even at his expense

2. At market price: This will be the same as selling the products to the mayor, but it may be convenient sometimes when users want to sell products to each other

3. 10-50% above market price: In this case the seller is making a profit, but it may still be a good deal for purchasers if they put those products to good use on their facilities

8. Petrochemical plant (coins): allows you to produce ethanol. It requires petrochemical barrels as input, which you can produce in the oil refinery. In the future this plant will also produce nylon, plastics and other products.

9. Essential oils plant (coins): allows you to produce essential oils.

Pink roses essential oil -> notice that pink roses are the ones needed, not red or white roses.
Iris essential oil
violet essential oil
lavender essential oil
peach essential oil
vanilla essential oil
cinnamon essential oil
cedar essential oil -> you need cedar log piles to produce this essential oil, which you get by chopping cedar trees.

10. Perfume factory (fc): allows you to produce perfumes out of the ethanol, coconut oil and a combination of essential oils. You can produce coconut oil in the oil factory.

Baby perfume
body splash
eau de toilette
cologne
eau de parfum
perfume

11. Chinese restaurant (fc): allows you to produce chinese food. You can produce soy sause in the food preserve factory. You can produce chinese noodles in the pasta factory.

Egg rolls
fried rice
sesame chicken
kung pao chicken
chicken chow mein
fortune cookies

12. Item storage bug corrected: A very small % of users were losing items when adding them to the storage even when they had enough capacity, this has been corrected.

I have listened to people's advice in here so much and the idea of not using the meat to produce for a few days is really paying off.. don't know why i hadn't done that because i have done just that with other production needed items.....duh me.....My friend just bought her third semi and is so mad at herself for not thinking of the same thing LOL LOL...

We need a seperate place to buy and sell products without being pestered to go work for someone, and everyone begging for jobs.

Adding the ppl to buying and selling to an already over run marketplace makes too much confusion.

How about giving the buyers and sellers a new place to coduct business or create a new:
"Employment Office" and add it to the Map as an extra location like the Inn or the realtor office?

Just go offline and you won't see anyone in the marketplace. It will just be you and Tom.
