Suggestion: Let new harvest display give sound alarm when a harvest is ready

Even before we get the new harvest display in the next update I have a suggestion - the option to have a sound alarm when a harvest is due. We could select which harvests we want sound alerts for (all, none, and/or individual selections on or off) and we could even have different sounds depending on the type of harvest.

eg: chicken coops might give chickens clucking, cow sheds give cows mooing, the shop might give a bell ringing much like the kind you hear when a shop door opens and so on.

This is so we can keep the game online but go do something else until we hear the alarm. Then we can rush straight back to the computer or if we are on the computer already doing something else then pull the screen back up. :)

    Great Idea Rusty Farmer!

    I just see one Flaw, What if you are like me and you don't have the sound on? :)

    Perhaps you could have an option to select sound specifically just for alerts and nothing else.

    yes i guess you could have that, But i just don't have my sound turned on my computer.

    How about some annoying pop-up thingy that pops up when your harvest is done and says in huge letters
    "YOUR STUFF IS READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" LOL :D

    Yes, but I'd like a way for it to alert me when I have Big Farm minimised and I'm doing something else either with the computer or away from it.

    Okay, I guess you right.

    Another possibilty which might be less intrusive thatn a huge popup is for the tab on your browser to flash, like what it might do now when a page has finished loading or you have finished downloading something from your email.

    Oh yes, I'd forgotten to mention in the OP, that the harvest display should pop out if it has been retracted, and flash, in just the same way as what happens when quests are completed. It might be going to do that already, we don't know yet. :S

    Oh ok, I was talking more about the browser tab, so even if you are multitasking or at work (and can't have the sound on or use large popups) or something you can see when something is completed on your farm by just looking at your tabs.

    A specific sound alarm sounds good. Maybe different sounds for different items.

    I currently use my watch and oven timer, but why not let game handle its own notification.

    Two thumbs up.

    Hmmm... nice idea but I think I'd go totally crazy when planting corn, or wildflowers :P
