Question, Are we getting credit for the sugar in the corn in making jam's ?
Sorry, but corn will not give you the sugar needed for the jams. As stated before, only by harvesting: apples, cherries, peaches, citrus will give the sugars, and also occasionally sugars will come from harvesting the greenhouse.
Chickadee, Will we get sugar from Peaches and Almonds?
Yes, the almonds give. Last time I got 130 sugar
Are you sure? Please post a screenshot of the almonds giving sugar, as currently almonds are not designed to do so. Maybe you harvested peaches and only thought you harvested almonds?
It is Wednesday.......It is time to quit making excuses for GGS. A statement should have happened days ago. We are past any point, where excuses can be valid.
And your playing their game ! If you don't like it quit, the constant threats of cancelling and quitting are quite tiresome I'll not stop playing & will keep my turbo harvester/ reseeder ($5Aus a month), but will no pay for gold, as your happy with the changes, I'm happy for you to pay for my game play, it's a win win for both of us

Sorry Ghost rider, it's just the way I read it, I agree not point spitting up the dummy & threading to quit
Message to Exxy You are funny! You ever get the feeling you are being out voted on this subject of cats labs and jams ? Get your head of the sand and start listening to people that are paying for this game and the ones that just want to relax after a hard day.. will you ? Your comments are a joke .
Well said
It doesn't really matter at this point. You might not agree with Exxy, but the reality is the farm lab as we know it, is gone and they have accepted it. They have also added some tips here in regards to the jam farm. So have others.
It would be great if GGS would add another icon on the lab to go back to our original use of lab for premium items & use the catalysts icons for the special seeds only.
Where to start. I know!...How about all the players demanding this or that and the ones who are threatening to quit or whatever because you aren't happy with how GGS/StillFront have changed somethings to make it a little more profitable for the company. Sure it's a free game to play and should only be looked at it like it is, it's free no if's and's or but's about. No one made anyone spend money on the game or to stick around for years on end slowly building our farms up, but that also doesn't give us the right to make demands like some have. When many of us high level players started out many years ago there were not as many ways to level up quickly like there are now, unless we bought gold and skipped our way up in levels, so we just grinded it out day after day after day. Many players even way back then complained or demanded this or that. Way back then free to play players used regular feed and fertilizer and accepted it for what it was, we we're just happy to be playing something that we enjoyed playing. For my self I can honestly say there we're times that I also was not happy with how long it took to level up so I could be a stronger farmer to help out during events and projects. The thing I think many newer lower and a lot of higher level players need to think about before they start complaining about things being taken away such as how they've basically made the lab's obsolete for now, is to change their strategy and not be so reliant on something that I personally think was taken advantage of since they introduced the labs and all the premium things became the normal thing to use. So many of use built factory farms and used premium feed and fertilizer to offset the huge amount of dollars it took to start things without having a single decoration on our farms to increase happiness. Switching back to regular feed and fertilizer has certainly changed the amount of dollars we earn but I personally am not losing any, I'm just not making as much even with my main farm not having one single decoration. Things are always changing with the game because it has to or the game would become so boring. Many players do not like change even in their day to day lives outside of the game so when something so drastic such as what, GGS/StillFront, did to the lab, their routine was disturbed. I Don't care what age anyone is that plays this game because it doesn't matter, the same goes for what level anyone are currently at, because it doesn't matter and never should if you are playing regularly, you will continue to level up no matter what you do. Many of us higher level players that have been around for many years know how the company works, they do things that just don't make sense at times when it changes things so drastically and disrupts our routine, but it's their right to do what they want even if it doesn't make sense to us, it makes sense to them on a business side of looking at something which is why they do what they do. The game is dynamic and I'm glad that it is because it keeps me thinking of ways to adapt to their changes, do I like it?? Not all the time, but they have introduced some awesome ideas over the years to help us earn more dollars quickly. Prime example would be the fishing region, if it weren't for that one idea many years ago, so many of us would not be where we are today. That is where all players big and small have to concentrate on building up if they want some serious dollars quickly. Lower level players and even the higher level players who aren't happy with the lab change need to go back to basics and grind it out with regular feed and fertilizer like we did before the labs were even introduced years ago. So many events to keep the rewards coming in. The game is meant to be hard to level up for a reason, to keep us playing and get frustrated at times to make us buy gold. Many of us are guilty of exactly what the company wants, to get frustrated with our progress in the game so if we have the means to buy gold we will. The company isn't stupid, they know exactly what they are doing. We are their lab rats, plain and simple, whether you like it or not. You can either be one or not be one to the extent to which they want us to become one. Don't fall for it. Take a step back and really look at what you want from the game, because it is and always will be just a game regardless of how addicted one becomes to this game. I personally think that there will always be players who aren't happy with anything that disrupts their routine which is I guess their right to be, but to constantly whine and complain on an open forum is quite silly and immature to say the least but I guess it's their way of venting their frustrations out to anyone who will listen. There will always be someone to lead the good fight when enough people are not happy with anything whether it's right or wrong. Pressuring the company or anyone for that matter to change something they are not happy with is their right to a certain extent, but to continue to push their beliefs to the point where it becomes destructive especially with a video game is not right in so many ways. Say it once and be done with it. Be happy we even have this game to play and waste time doing it, because when it really comes down to it, that's all this game is, a big waste of time, but for the most part its a fun way to waste a lot of time. The stronger personalities on this forum will always be the first to speak up when they aren't happy with things, so they make sure they are being heard loud and clear which is kind of funny. It's a game, nothing more and nothing less, it only becomes something more when someone isn't happy with a change to their routine. I think the biggest problem with many players is they are very impatient and want things right now, that couldn't be any further away from how this game has to and needs to be played if you are not a gold buyer. I also have a level 300+ account on the US server that has taken well over 5 years of playing to build. Id like to finish this long drawn out rant or whatever this can be called to anyone thinking that I have no clue about the changes that have been made to the game over the last 5+ years since I started on the US server, they need to think again because I feel your pain, I really do, but the difference is I really don't care what they do to the game even when I've spent real money over the years as long as there is something for me to click tomorrow. I've adapted the mindset to just play what I want to play when it comes to the events. Trying to do it all will most likely leave you jaded like it has a few times for me years ago. So pick and choose your battles to stay within your comfort zone because it's really the only way to keep the game fun and stay sane enough, so that the game doesn't drive you insane like it clearly has with some players, especially the players who are always complaining the most, and the loudest.
There is no way to keep up with the catalysts to produce enough of the premium items to maintain my farm. I have made cow fee 3 times & am already almost out of the catalyst to produce more. I need to make at least 7 a day to keep up with just the cows let alone the rest of the farm items. Give us back the use of our labs or combine the new with the old. Let us make the premium items just as we did before & use the catalysts for the special seeds only, not for the premium feeds/fertilizer/humus. Very stupid, not thought through upgrade, more like a downgrade.
Another player mentioned seaweed and I am curious about it, too.
I have over 7000 seaweed and the description in my barn says I can use it to make humus, which is currently a lie....In fact, I have no idea what we can use seaweed for anymore. If they do keep the lab as it is now, they are going to have to change the description so we know what to do with it.
Perhaps instead of seaweed, the fishing restaurant should be dropping catalysts? And can we convert existing seaweed into a ton of catalysts?

right, the GGS made the change without taking anything into account

So am I to assume the lack of any comments from GGS means...they figure most players will just put up with the new changes? I guess the only real thought put into "upgrades" is how much more money can they suck out of those players who will still buy gold. We're so important that management can just ignore us.
Please be patient. GGS are busy developing a new game and they need extra cash flow (surprised they didn't inform us). This is from the German forum and the link is valid.I translated it using Google Translate for your convinience.

Thanks for taking the fun out of this game! Really! I have been playing for almost 5 1/2 years, run what was until now 2 successful farms, spent countless hours stockpiling feed and fertilizer so that I could be a competitive farmer. Spent way more money than I should have, and now it all seems to be wasted time, money and effort just so you could make it "fairer for everybody". Please explain how you made it fair for anyone? Now you have taken away most of the means to level up, how do I get rep points if I can't make and use premium feed and fertilizer? This looks like a step towards making this a pay to play game. Over the years the changes that have been made have been tolerated, ignored, misunderstood and we continued to play, but this is just low down and mean! Please explain your rational for this as nobody that I have talked to can make any sense of the changes.
I'm not going to defend ggs, i'm not a paid lawyer lol but i would like to point out a few things:
I've hardly been counting the days (though i admit that quite a few days have passed), but i have heard that they were away for the first few days, this should be taken into account.
Although they could be completely ignoring us for good, there's a big good chance that they're trying to figure out a way to appease the players while not completely back-rolling the update as they probably did the update for specific reasons as well as it would show weakness and teach players that if you kick up enough of a fuss, they can be forced to change something in the game.
Of course, if i was running the company, things would hopefully be a little different, but how would i know, there are multiple complex things about running a company that are just as important important than pleasing the customers, although that is an important part of any business.
And you're all saying that ggs should give a statement and that ignoring the players is a bad and incompetent move, well, even if you're right, you also say that the update (specifically the lab) was an bad and incompetent move, so why are you acting like you think that ggs should be incompetent one moment, and competent the next?
I saw, we all just have patience for now, try to adapt out farms to make the best out of the update, and hope for the best

Katie m, your post makes perfect
sense. I concur with basically everything you said (sorry for chopping it, was
too long to quote it all). But, I do have another viewpoint to add. The issue I
have is they offered a feature in the game. We accepted the offer & bought
it, with our time, farm $ and gold for over 4 years time. Then they took it
away. We were blind-sided. It makes us feel like we wasted our valuable time
and money, and for it to be ripped out from beneath our feet makes us feel
vulnerable and robbed.
I can adapt to the change,
figure out a different way to farm without it, but that doesn’t take away the
feeling. I think BF could have taken an opportunity to make this change without making us feel this way.
One of those ways to adapt to the change, is
to add better decorations back to the farm. Then today we get the news they
canceled the CNY event which can reward with a fabulous decoration, so I’m
left feeling a bit gutted yet again.
I initially kept quiet here on
forum after this update; I chose to wait to see if my initial feeling about the
lab change would subside before saying anything. I have to say, after 6 days, I
am not any less upset over it. I may have accepted it, but how it happened &
the actual loss, still leaves me with a sour taste. Since the update, I have 3
labs & a few other buildings that have sat dormant because an outside
source interrupted their processing flow. It’s not just 1 thing that was taken
away, it affects so many others. It’s been a spiral effect and tough to look at
things that were once productive, now sitting dormant. We see enough of this in
the real world these days; it’s worse when it’s extended to the game. It’s
depressing to say the least, and who wants to pass their “play” time at
something as depressing as the news, or just looking out the window. Many come
here to get away from all that.
KatieM, you also mentioned they
must change things up or players get bored. Well, so much is thrown at us every
day in this game, I don’t know how anyone could possibly get bored. We didn’t
need a change. We didn’t want the change. We still don’t (at least most players based on what I’ve heard and read). Thank you for all your thoughts, for the ideas
you did bring forth!
I have read most comments on all 15 pages so far. I think
my favorite has to be from clinn(RO1) on the 2nd page, explaining
PR. Yes, I totally agree. If they had approached this change in a different
way, they wouldn’t have so many upset players, because we wouldn’t have that
feeling of being robbed. This is not the 1st time players have been really upset about a change (think horse racing?), but maybe with your note Big Farm will take the suggestion to heart & perhaps create a position for a PR person to help their company in this area. Players are already so upset now, and without any word back yet,
their irritation has only grown, so it might be too late for BF to do
anything that will be pleasing to the most hurt players (apart from restoring the
lab the way it was, which I highly doubt will happen-hopeful, but doubtful).
Several posts have asked for a refund, but I don’t think
that’s practical. If the programmers had however, compensated by upgrading each
player’s lab to whatever level they’d be able to produce what they were able to
produce before, that might be a step in the right direction.
Personally, I would like to see a few deleted recipes
return to the lab; in particular, the ability to make the higher level
catalysts from the lower ones. Apart from giving us a lot more ways to obtain
catalysts, that is the only thing I can think of that will get me to spend any
more cash to upgrade these (in my current opinion) defunct buildings. But that’s
just my opinion on the catalysts, maybe a suggestion.
Comments
But its a quite basic reaction due to anger , because you are not getting what you want
In the end, GG can do whatever they want with their game , and players can play , suscribe or not , if they dont want to
Players also have the right to express how they feel as well
my comment was solely to all those that think they can stamp their feet and demand ! which is ridiculous
It doesn't really matter at this point. You might not agree with Exxy, but the reality is the farm lab as we know it, is gone and they have accepted it. They have also added some tips here in regards to the jam farm. So have others.

I'm pretty sure, that they are analyzing / evaluating all the feedbacks
Do you really need to hear : "We're looking into it"
There is really a lot of elements to evaluate
