Also, Taz, may I direct your attention to just two paragraphs from my post that I think illustrate my true intention, which was to carefully and POLITELY present the case for evaluating the production of kaolin clay:

OK, so rather than just fume and complain,I did the math.
and
Dear Creative, Ingenious Fabulous Developers, I did the math for you. I hope you can see that introduction of the Restroom Supplies Facility, created a serious imbalance in KC supply and demand, one we would all like to see addressed sooner rather than later, please.

As Farm Town grows and becomes both more fun and more complex, it seems inevitable that demand for some basic products may outstrip the ability of even the most ingenious player to meet. As has been well said elsewhere, we all play out own game, and balancing the availability of products is really our own responsibility.

However, sometimes the cumulative effect of new releases is to create a supply/demand situation that needs rethinking. Case in point: More and bigger farms accompanied by more and bigger tools eventually created a demand for fuel that simply couldn't be met. The players presented their case here in the Forum and eventually the developers increased the output from each Oil Pump (and the Refinery as well, I think)

I came to the Forum to present my case and request that the developers consider looking into the issue. I could wish you had at least acknowledged that before chastising me for an unintentional faux pas.

Deanna:

I Know what your talking about I have the same problem with poly fiber
I can not produce enough for my textile mills I have 5 trains all sending in Petrochemicals and 8 oil refineries producing petro chemicals and 6 petrochemical factories producing poly fiber and my 6 textile mills can not get enough. I really need a train car to send in poly fiber.

Hi, I'm having the same problems as Tartan Lady,for the past couple of hours. The game is slow loading, and when it does finally get there I can't access the facilities. Not sure about sewing plants/harvesting etc as I haven't had the chance to try those.

P.S. I'm on WF38 and using Chrome.

P.P.S. Planting crops is ok, it's opening the facilities that's the problem.

Thanks for the reply on the other thread Taz !

someone said they have 5 trains....I couldn't put a 5th train anywhere. I bought the engine for nothing. We need more cars now with some of the much needed products we can use. I don't need cows or any other animal but sheep and Llamas.

Hello Carolann,

You can put 1 of each type of engine for a total of 5 engines on your farm, you just can't put a second train of the same type. You can put one of each of the following a standard engine, enhanced engine, supreme engine, ultimate engine and turbo engine, they can be on one farm or any farm you want them on. Also you can have 5 of the same boxcar as long as they are connected to separate engines.

I was able to work them yesterday, but today I try to work my neighbors facilities and I continually time out. The Mayor does all my facilities for me, so a farm that takes a minute normally is taking 5 minutes. There is definitely an issue. I don't have a problem working on my own farm.

Knight, is it 5 total for the whole 23 farms, or could you have 5 engines per farm? Just curious.

SeaJay,
It is 5 total. You can either put them all on one farm or you can spread them out any way you want over your farms but the total number can only be 5 which is 1 of each engine. No duplicates.

Good to know. I don't think I would have bought any more engines in the near future, but I might have if they released a bunch of new cars not knowing I could only have 5.
Thanks

I get this message quite often when I click on the link to Show FarmTown Wall Requests but if I go to their Facebook page and click on the link there I'm able to work their facilities.
