    The fish idea, I like, but don't hold your breath!! What would you do with the fish?? Can't dare eat them as GGS has some lame policy against Slaughter of animals, and I ain't never seen a live fish get ate!!
    Insects. Doubt that too, that would lead to insecticides, and well.......:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    There are many ways to make money with a fish farm. They can be sold as food, sold live in aquariums, made into fertiliser, or used in restocking programs.

    (Emphasis mine.)

    If that environmental event goes ahead, this could tie into it somehow...

    Have a new farm dedicated solely to fish hatcheries/wildlife preservation. ^_^ Could use more games on the internet with that theme in mind.

    Ah. Just googled "Happy Gilmore" to discover it's a film, one which I've never seen - which explains my ignorance of any quotes from it - but thanks for the explanation - I'm now less confused! :D:D

    your not the only one with unanswered threads.i was told that no matter how many times we bump our threads it wont help because it has to go through a cm b4 it gets to the devs and the cms are very selective in what they even read.i have had a few threads up for months that have never gotten 1 reply from a cm but from what i was told the blunt truth is if it goes unanswered for a certain period of time then chances are its not happening.

    Guys the amount of times I read "no comment?"

Any suggestions or complaints I see, I take a copy of the link and post it to the CMs. If I were to make a comment for every link I send so that you know its been sent, I would be working the forums for anywhere up to 6 or more hours.:( So chill, know that its been read and passed on and quit expecting a reply to every thread. If it needs a response believe me it will get one. :) NO thread and I mean NO thread is ever ignored. :)

    dude, you get flies from fields, mill and other buildings. the other thing is that we cannot use them except for Coop projects.

    edited 21.11.2013
    read what u just typed .....
    flies?!....very low use in farming maybe decomposition thats it and flies but no maggots ok thats resonable
    flies but no worms ok that makes sense ....flies from ur mill ok watever thats normal
    meanwhile ladybugs from wildflowers ?.... nooo thats makes no sense huh....
    mantis from wheat no nooo thats not farming nooo but finding a cash register yea thats better cuz thats wat farmers find harvesting .... fish ... no its not like 100 million americans refuse to eat from the wilderness, streams n oceans nooo google lied thats not the agricultures 2012 poll noo
    no laxewings but yet flies???? ok yea pest over beneficial becuz yea lace wings arnt the number 1 purchased insects for crop boosting...
    ty cleared that up department of aggriculture and google r lieing to me ok got it

    and since no 1 knows biology i will explain the fly ggs has choosen
    Green bottle fly (phaenicia sericata)
    description-3/8-1/2 inch.stout.larger than house fly.brilliant metalic blue green or golden with black markings.
    habitat-in dead fish and other dead animals , in fresh unprotected wounds (or wool of sheep); and in manure and garbage containing animal matter
    range- southern california to mexico
    food-decomposing animal matter.
    life cycle- mass of 180 eggs is deposited on carrion or other rotting protein based organics(for thous lost...dead animals).larvae mature in 2-10 days.drop to soil ,and burrow shallowly b4 pupating .4-8 generations a year, the last last overwintering as larvae in the soil.
    other-the green bottle fly is not as attracted to the smell of fresh meat as the blue bottle fly ,and is less likely to enter homes. it is often found near slaughter houses and garbage cans. a few species are bloodsuckers or have larvae that live as internal parasites of mammals ....

    great......pick ggs
    ty papagamer2 for ur comment or this woulda never been said
    and btw ppl ^up ther^yea that info on the bottle fly aka bow fly up there^basic 9th grader knowledge^ u did graduate right ggs owners???

    so we harvest these flys from what
    mills????
    nooooo thats imposible these flies eat rotting flesh not grains and def not rotting vegetation
    so wait we dont kill animals in bf soooo wer r these flies coming from hmmm
    makes no sense

    Rick, thank you for the biology lesson. I guess that there are different curriculum's running in different countries so it's really not fair to be casting aspersions on others because of what you perceive as their lack of knowledge.

    To be honest, I don't really care where the fly comes from other than I have enough to help out my cooperative with projects. I'm just curious however, since you are so literal with what species of fly GGS chose for the game and that they come from grains and such, how do you explain the transporters that I get from the mill? Or the lunchbox that comes from the cow shed and the register that I get from my apple orchards.

    I think you're being a bit too literal here for the games sake. It's not a real life representation of a farm - I don't know any variety of corn that grows in 5 mintues or apples that are ready to harvest in 3 hours. I just know that I tend my farm because it's fun.

    Hey Rick,

    please try to keep your thoughts in one post instead of posting multiple single ones - this is usally considered spamming and that's why we have an 'Edit' button :)
    Also, I know it might be time consuming, but I'll just go ahead and bet that you would get much more responses by using less abbreviations and try to use proper punctuation and sentences - I can say that at least I am having a very hard time reading some parts of your postings, and I bet I'm not the only one. Don't forget that there are many users in here, which first language isn't English, so every bit of effort helps.

    This forum should be a pleasant read for all users, even during heated discussions or arguments, and it would be great if all users at least try to maintain that :)

    Regarding your posts: We actually used a LOT of community ideas and player-driven recommendations for the game, the decoration we added after your suggestions alone is hopefully showing that. For the future, other upcoming big features that came up because of the community will be the complete mission rework, coming soon-ish, and a lot of changes regarding the secondary farms.

    Have a great day,
    Timo

    the main important stuff was in proper English and sentencing . but as far as comments,yea that will be short handed. and yes there is many languages used on bf like all mmos. So with that said how do you know i'm not usen(using) proper sentencing i mean im a northern American. example yunz is plural for you what if i said yall that be better or you guyes ???no i wouldn't because i'm not southern American or mid American im northern so for thous in different languages google translator i'm sure there already using.plus my short hand that i use can be found on google usen the urban dictionary ... and as far as enjoyfulment im sure every1 is getting a blast outa this thread accept ggs corp

    decorations so thats the suggestions that have been used??? ty for clearing that up... but that seems like a low low attempt to .... u know what never mind ... the community got the answer ... hey my fellow players what u think of that ?

    hey bigfarm community gotta love having an activist entomologist on here working for yunz lulz XD
    spamming-i really dont wanna copy and paste the definition of spamming but each post has been different maybe on the same subject but different for 1 two its 5 to 10 mins in between so its not flooding.umm u cant just edit when u answer to comments..and i dont leave nothing unanswered unlike.... so yea if sum1 comments ima re post to answer or talk or add to them im not going to hit edit how does that work??? just edit something said b4 to answer a new comment ... wow this is fun ;)

    and i just went threw my decorations, i have no idea what decorations were used from this thread hey players u see anything that resembles v that down there v closes i see is the lake buyable with coins im not sure witch deco he is referring to

    I am confused about some things:
    It sounds more like a bait and bug shop and not for fish and the pond. I am not at all excited about the whole bug thing--event the ones that come out of the silo--i think they are kind of gross. My interest in this thread is getting lost.
  • HostileRickHostileRick Posts: 32
    edited 21.11.2013
    u dont sell the bugs so its not like a bait shop u find the bugs and use them on fields like u use ur humus . now to start ur pond ull need feed so the feed i suggested is the maggots or worms... now if ur referring to the maggots as being quit disgusting-u do know every insects on this earth starts life as a maggot ... caterpillars=maggots. babyladybugs=maggots. grasshoppers start as maggots the scientific term is larva . life is beautiful no matter the creation. the few exceptions to the larva stange 1 praying mantis pretty much the only 1 that dosent have a larva stage .... now understand farming wouldnt exist period with out insects... no fruits no veggies no nuts no honey no fertilizer no healthy decomposition at all with out insects... the main idea is a fish pond added but secondary is the insects ... what i think is discusting is pulling anything other than this outa ur silo or fields i mean yuck a movie ticket from a pile of ...dung. then i go back to the bug shop thing u said .. no where i mean no where did i say to sell the insects.not even a little bit. i dont know where u got that from maybe the part where i said buy (Buy) em for 1 gold coin per insect ok... so that would mean u find em harvesting ... and or u can buy em but u can only use ur insects on ur fields and stuffs also u would use em during ur co op missions instead of sum dum movie ticket or a tractor

    monica79538 did that clear it up

    Don't worry, monica.
    I got lost in translation as well.

    Rick, if you want to see a proper example of suggestions/criticism that made it into the game, just look at the next update and you will find one suggestion and one major point of criticism that has been dealt with lately.

    Want other examples?
    Take the dog. The flag has been proposed by the English community even. Deconstruction of decorations and premium buildings - also a feature long wished for by the community. I could list a whole lot of suggestions brought up in the communities in all countries that made it into the game.

    It's a matter of fact we cannot take every suggestion and just implement it in the game the way it was presented. Else we would all be riding on unicorns, farms would be rainbow colored and we would be drowning in ponds, bushes, bred animals and - in your case - bugs.

    Still we are presenting every suggestion that gets good feedback from the community itself to the team. Even the ones that are not used still show them what might be interesting to players in the future.

    I get that you want bugs, the different life stages that they have. What I fail to see is how that connect to the pond for fishing? I am VERY excited about the pond, but the bugs--not so much. Your writing style just makes it all swirl in my head and i can't seem to focus on what you want.

    I am not the one you need to sell your idea to by the way. And I do speak English as a first language, but many of the people here do not.

    **oops Nafaru was posting same time I was, didn't have chance to read it.
