  • Bakery good was never the problem, the problem is that neighbors did not ask for flower shop items after a while and still they do not ask for it. Already had at least 20 neighbors walking to my market and it is only the regular ones, not a single flower shop item. Pretty sure the CM lied to you @WascallyWabbit that it was fixed!
    The dev was correct that the shop products have been put back in the mix, as Jiesta confirmed, they are appearing again in contracts. He said there is no separate mechanism for the neighbors, they just have a very large selection of items to choose from & they still seem to be avoiding the shop ones. Thank you all for the updated feedback, I will get back to him to address why they are avoiding these items & why they choose honeydew & liquid fertilizer so often.

    Hi everyone,

    This should be working now & we have noticed shop products back in the contracts, so they are available for the neighbors to buy - Has anyone had a neighbor ask for any shop items?
    Thanks Wabbit for your trouble chasing our neighbors!
     
    Yep, on the gourmet farm neighbors are indeed asking for fruitcake and muffins now - I can confirm that one. Neighbors on main and flower farm still asking for the same things as before, no change there.

    I thought it was farm related: then why are the neighbors on gourmet farm asking for cherries? That is the only thing that is weird about them, the cherry asking neighbors on gourmet farm, the rest is only asking for stuff that we can make on that particular farm.

    the liquid fertilizer and honeydew are requested 1/3-1/4 of the total amount while all other products are only requested in 5%.  Is this making people lose supplies by misclicking?
    Suggestion 1: Customers only request if the barn storage is almost full about 80% full  and in smaller amounts for farm supplies such as 5% of total amount in storage.   
    Suggestion 2: Be able to decline customer offers if the player wants to in order to get new customers.

    I am being asked sometimes for Lavender Essence and Jasmine now by neighbors, but rarely (saw the Floral Perfume come by only once these last 6 months)....
    Still wishing the neighbors would ask for ready products from bakery & flower shop more often - maybe even for fish and the ready meals from the fish restaurant? That would be great!  :)

    There are so many things they can change regarding the neighbors and market contracts. Let them fix the neighbors on flower farm first before asking other things ;)

    Maybe if they fix this bug first we could ask for things, we all know they are good listeners over there.
  • PINJO1986 (NL1)PINJO1986 (NL1) NL1 Posts: 1,852
    And still no neighbor asked for shop items? Was it a joke when @WascallyWabbit said they where going to fix this in the next update? Has this been said to them and when is the next update? Is it next year or so when this is going to be fixed?
  • @PINJO1986 (NL1) I promise you I do ask him every time & this time he says he is doing it right now. It has missed today's update, but will be on the next one. I also asked about the excessive honeydew requests & apparently they should be less with more FF products to choose from. :)

    Yeah finally some good news about this ongoing issue. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it is not a nutty employee that keeps forgetting where he lives, how old he is and what his name is :*
  • PINJO1986 (NL1)PINJO1986 (NL1) NL1 Posts: 1,852
    Yeah i see, even on regular farm they ask for it now. I still do think there is a bug with it because it should be farm related.

    But happy that the neighbors ask for honey and soap again.

    In january, Customers asked for pasta gift baskets.  Now they stopped coming.  Did they really come back?
    At what level do customers ask for Honey cream?  Box of soaps?

    Summer weekend has customers from temporary farms.  They give x2 money for selling products to them.  
    Imagine a customer from a temporary farm asked for 50 honey cream and gave you 200000 dollars instead of selling it from farm management for 100000.

    As soon as your Flower farm reached the level where you can make those products, the customers can ask for them ....

    At level 65 now but no shop product customers yet.  I still have a 1 in 3 chance of getting liquid fertilizer and honeydew customers, they still ask for 1/4 of all that is stored.  

    Did the change take effect yet? When?
    Are they able to come immediately when unlocked, or a few levels after unlocking?.  
    How often do they ask for any shop product?
  • Jiesta (NL1)Jiesta (NL1) Posts: 6,557
    All randomly, dchen ..... thus it's a surprise how often the customers will come by and what they will ask for.
    That's the backbone of this game, to not reveal everything to us ...  B)

    You know, you don't have to sell to the neighbors the products they ask for if you need it for other purposes.  I find that most don't have the added % to the price, so selling in the organic market or just through the farm management is generally more profitable.

    The percentage is time based.

    If you sell to a neighbor as soon as he walks up, you'll always get a 20% bonus.  The bonus starts going down quickly after about a minute though, and is completely gone within 5-10 minutes (I've never really timed it exactly). 

    Even with NO bonus though, the price a neighbor pays has a built-in 1% profit margin over selling straight from inventory.

    For instance, I have a neighbor right now asking for 224 Soaps. The inventory price of soap is $2,875 per unit.

    $2875 * 224 = $644,000
    $644,000 * 1.01% = $650,440



    Imagine that. Right on the "money". :)

    Still asking for liquid fertilizer and honeydew.
    I received a compensation that gave me 5 boosters.

    Why are the flower farm customers still not asking for shop products?
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Mine are.  Not all the time, mind you, but they do several times a day.

    Same here :)
  • Jiesta (NL1)Jiesta (NL1) Posts: 6,557
    Same here ..... still asking for a lot of honeydew and/or liquid fertilizer, but nowadays also asking for other shop products - not as much, but still  :p

    ah i wondered why all of a sudden these geezers wanted my honeycream, never seen any walkers want it before
  • dchen1 (US1)dchen1 (US1) US1 Posts: 993
    Never seen shop product customers since january.  
  • dchen1 (US1)dchen1 (US1) US1 Posts: 993

    What level did you see the first customer asking for shop products?
  • Mine still do, but not very often. They ask for all the shop items at some point, though I think I see more bouquets than honey cream or soap. They always seem to avoid the items I WANT to sell & pester me endlessly for the ones I do not want to sell, like Honeydew & Liquid Fertilizer, seems like I have a request for honeydew (sometimes 2 or 3) on one or more farms 24/7, I am trying to figure a way to put up a sign saying "Honeydew NOT for sale!!!"

    AAAAAAYYY-MEN!!! LOL :smiley:

    When you figure it out Scissors, let me know! lol
