Farm Town on Facebook...

[lovetoscrap]

That happens Metro. Sometimes it seems like your character is walking around a maze. It has to do with the way the game is designed to get you from one place to another. In some cases you can't walk across certain things so your character will have to go all the way to the end of a row and then around to get to the plot right next to you. It is ANNOYING! With practice and experience you kind of figure out a system to avoid the walking off time waisting.

Also if a farmer hires several people to work at the same time it slows things way down. I have reached the point where I just leave if there are too many people--not worth the time and aggravation to fight over a harvest. And FarmTown itself often just gets bogged down and slows down. I will be on a harvest at one place and fly along but the next will be painfully slow.

Make sure you check out the Farm Town Forums (the link is at the top of the screen when you are playing) Lots of great advice and information there.

You know something else I have noticed that past couple of days? I can no longer just walk through walls or rivers. My little farmer actually takes the time to go around or go over a bridge. This is new, to me at least.

I do this too, just leave. If I am hired and there are already like 5 or 6 ppl hired, I just leave. Too slow and not worth get aggrivated over.

When I hire at the MP, I hire no more than 2 people. No farm needs 5+ ppl working at the same time.

lol, it's a weird glitch. Sometimes the game makes you walk all the way around the farm for no apparent reason. I do it all the time - looking like a dork.

Thanks...I'll check that out.

Thanks for the advice. I went from 9,145 coins this morning to 32,059 now...just by being hired three times.

Okay smarties, how did one of my "buddies" manage to find out who I am then invite me to be her friend on facebook so that we can be neighbors? I am trying to figure it out. It feels weird that someone can do this. I don't mind having "buddies", but I don't know if I am all that comfortable with people being able to contact ME. I don't even use my name for my avitar. Please shed some light on this. I almost feel like I am being stocked

 

[Cinderella2004]

The only thing I can think of, Davidsprincess, is that maybe they put you on ignore, to get your real name???

That is very weird! I don't think I'd feel comfortable with that either.

That may be it, but so weird.

I went to delete a plot but instead deleted one of my watermills I am sooo bummed Be careful before you hit that delete button!!!

 

[wendy46001]

I delete planted fields all the time
normally when i'm rushing to finish....

i also go wandering around farms...

I set it up so most of my farm should be harvested around wed.
that way i can move my river...for something i wanted so baly...its becoming
a pain and my crops dont line up correctly

Have you exhanged messages with them? (through the leave a note thing?) I *think* that if you do that then your email address may show up.

But I just tried it with my daughter and nothing did show. But I swear I sent a message once and a little box popped up that had my email address and said I was sending a notificaiton to that person. I remember being freaked out because I try to be very careful about that.

I can't get in! I got booted off last night before I finished planting and figured it was a sign for me to go to bed. Now I can't get on and finish my planting!!!

What am I going to do????

BTW I have deleted trees and planted fields by mistake. It is easy to do! Too easy!

 

[Pin Wizard]

I deleted a couple of my trees by accident last night. Way too easy to do.

For a week I had trouble on and off with FT. Mostly, I'd get the green background and nothing else. As of last night, FT gives me the green if I run it in Firefox. I went to AOL and it ran fine...amazingly. However, I had to use Firefox to run YoVille. At least something works! Maybe I'll try Yahoo or Google. Hate to download yet another program for it though.

That's true...I haven't done that yet...I will usually hide the trees when I'm doing something so I don't have the same experience.

 

[sorcerormickey]

I have deleted more stuff than I care to admit. When I was putting in my river the other day, I must have deleted the same segment 3 or 4 times. Had to rebuy.

It is too easy to do when you are hurrying.

Question-- how do you get your rivers to overlap and look like that are cascading?

Question-- how do you get your rivers to overlap and look like that are cascading?

It's best if you work from the top of the page down. After you put in the first section of river, place a dirt path on it (near the bottom), you might need 2 or 3 (I forget exactly how I did it). then you can lay another section of river ontop of the first river section so that they overlap. Continue for as long as you need. If I were able to get on FarmTown here from work, I would put a section on my farm so you can go and look at it, but they have us blocked from Facebook.

To all those who are thinking about the beach scene....Yep, it does look cool! It is a lot of work and EXPENSIVE!! I did it and leveled up quickly, but took it out after about a week or two because with all those pieces of path hiding underneath the rivers, it makes your farm run really slooooooooow....especially once you have more than one or 2 people trying to do any type of farming.

 

[wendy46001]

I've never seen a beach...can anyone post one of those??
or a place i can go view some ideas

Though my farm is in shambles
i left all my hedges a muck and sold a bunch of stuff....

 

[wendy46001]

Ok just looked up a beach

I currently have fancy farm envy

any one with a hill, waterfall, beach, island
you are my hero

Thanks-- I may try this. If it makes these slow way down I'll take it out. I have my house on a hill and wanted the water cascading down from a little pond into a big pond.

I am at work too and they have blocked Facebook at Youtube too.
