Isuggest that we have a bank. Then, we each have a SAFE deposit box in the vaultin the bank (or a gold account-but I like the SAFE deposit box concept better) inthe bank to store all of our gold in. No gold can be spent for our farmsfrom the bank. All game gold & purchased gold would be deposited in thisaccount.
Then, like on the Temporary Island Farms,when we want to transfer money from our Gold SAFE deposit box (or gold account)into the game, we just go to the bank and do it like we transfer farm dollarsinto the Island currency on the temp. farms now. Whenever we need more gold in the game, wejust transfer it there.
GGS may be able to adapt the programmingused on the Island farms to this too. Ofcourse once transferred to your game the Gold would not be able to betransferred back to the bank.
That way, only the amount of gold that youhave transferred to the game would be subject to a possible accidental loss.Keep it all in the vault in your SAFE deposit box and you cannot lose it! J
Players can transfer as much as they want fromthe bank into the game. That way massiveGold players (who may not care about possible accidental losses) could have allof their gold in the game account where we see it now and not have tocontinually transfer it Below where wesee the available gold now, would be theamount of gold in our safe deposit box to help us keep track of it.
Howabout it GGS? Can you make thispossible? IMO a lot of players would bevery happy and I expect that it would increase your gold sales too!

And now, 19 months later, what has the "team" come up with?
Edit by PINJO: merged posts, please use edit button
But, as you can see, this is a most irksome issue for me and many of the other loyal farmers that have been here all along.
Personally I wouldn`t like to see that option, it could get extremely annoying during a mission. I would prefer to see something more like the "sow last seed" where you have to move to a 2nd button, which could still be done quickly if necessary.
I hope this get done sooner rather than later!! Yes I have make a few mis-clicks and spend Gold too.
See, that's why I don't like to mark anything as definitive in here
In all honesty though: This option was talked about many, many times. It was brought up again, let go again, brought up again. At this point, I would almost like to say it's highly implausible, but I know that as soon as I do that, we'll probably plan that exact thing anyway.
We'll bring it up to the devs again, but really - I can't promise anything
I've just accidently clicked on a trolley and it took a couple of thousand of my gold...
In other parts of the game, you click on a trolley and it asks you how much etc etc, not, it seems when you are about to spend gold.
Really hacked off with this, I was not intending to buy water, I just wanted to see how much it would cost to work out if it would be effective...instead, I lost precious gold I have worked hard to build up.
Game developers - you MUST change this so that we get a "are you sure you want to spend XXX gold?" warning - it is simply not fair on all of us hard working farmers who are investing our time and money in your game.
Sorry to hear you lost your gold :S .... BEWARE of buttons with blue on them!... I assume you clicked the one in the Nursery, if so, its like many gold buttons, it gives you the info when you hover over it, that one says "Buy Water for 20 gold" ... There are a couple in the game to watch out for though, where there is no amount in the hover text, like renaming a horse is one I can think of, it just says "Rename", though it does telll you its 2000 gold on the next page before you go ahead.
Indeed.... There is another thread asking for that CONFIRM UPGRADE
I would very much like to request that no more pop-up screens appear with which one can spend a lot of gold in a single click !
Recently I was about to click on one of the fields to harvest corn and at the same moment a pop-up appeared with an offer to buy all kinds of stuff for gold. I have always been somewhat afraid of this happening but it never did, but Saturday it did....Now the field was at the same position as one of the buying buttons so by accident I clicked that and bought 950 stupid horse shoes for a whopping 8k GOLD, which is something no sensible person would ever do ! Also this happened at an account I was trying to help with her week-mission, not even my own account....So instead of helping her I ended up wasting 8k Gold which is an insane amount for her....
So I would appreciate it if goodgame would implement a confirmation popup to ask if you are sure you want to spend that much gold !
Expecting for a proper reply from the mods or CMs
Hi Whisky,
Sorry to hear that this happened to you, there was a change was made on the July 5th Update which said:
Due to your feedback, we will add a delay for all popup windows which feature a direct "buy" button, so accidental clicks should be reduced even more. We look forward to your feedback once you've been able to check how it works, the times can still be tweaked.
I will pass on your message as feedback on that change.
Rant off.
How long is the delay on the popups ? One second? Not good enough! We need a confirmation button on all popups!
edit: Forwarded, we'll increase the delay a bit and see how it's working afterwards! This will happen maybe with todays, else with tomorrows update!
A few weeks ago, I started playing BigFarm, after it was announced that Café was going to shut down. BigFarm is a very different game, but it's amusing all the same, and my friend agreed to join too, so we're kind of helping each other out and discussing the game.
One thing that we both agree on is that a confirmation or 'are you sure?' type of button would be a very helpful addition.
I'm might be because we're so used to Café, but we both seem to misclick a lot, and we end up spending gold or other resources unnecessarily.
You see, here the button to speed up a process is one click away from costing you gold. I understand the people who make the game profit from this, but I really don't like it.
In this game, there is no confirmation button. Mousing over something already tells you the price, there's no need for an extra screen. But if it's going to cost gold, I'd really like it if there was one.
The second pet peeve I have is closely related: I'd also like one for the seaweed food/ humus.
I've been saving mine up for the hard worker event. At the start of the day, I had 30. I'm now on 10 because I have a line of chicken coops¹, where the seaweed food overlaps with the coop next to it. When I harvest it from right to left (as I keep doing for no apparent reason other than habit and a bit of comfort), it's quite risky. This also happens on my fields.
I feel like a confirmation button wouldn't be of any kind of inconvenience to people who intend to use it because most people won't seaweed all their plants and produce. If you're only seaweedifying one field, one confirmation menu won't be the end of the world. (I can see how it would get annoying if you were using a lot of it, but I can't think of any situation where you'd do that.)
What do you guys think?
fig 1:
Extra edit: Unless I really have to, I'd much rather post on this board than on the Dutch one. My English is just a lot better than my Dutch, if I'm honest, as I was raised bilingually.
But such a button isn't there on purpose for obvious reasons... lot of the players hate this, lot of other players don't bother that much. Don't know about any majority coz I don't know all the players all over the world and I am sure most of them never ever visit the forum.
I for one, do believe one has just to be prudent when clicking: clicking too fast without paying attention will indeed lead to miss clicking. It happened maybe twice to me in over 4 years: I banged my head against the wall, called myself an idiot and moved on again. Coz I know the possibility to easily miss click has been build in, so I am aware and thus can avoid it ..... promised myself to be more prudent in the future again.
I do respect the wishes of other players, but - again - I am not that much bothered by such a button not being available. I love these in build tricks & traps, love to search for them, love to plan my strategy around them and love to teach my self to avoid them. It makes the game so much more exiting IMHO... and I didn't buy any gold since February 2014.
Many of us have asked GGS for a 'confirm' button for skipping with gold. GGS refuses to add it because it is a convenient way for them to get people to spend gold inadvertantly, and thus encourages higher gold sales for GGS. In fact, instead of adding the confirm feature, the recent changes GGS has implemented make it even easier to mistakenly skip with gold. No doubt this strategy works and some players do buy more gold because of it, but it has had the opposite effect on me, since I refuse to buy gold until they can safeguard it.
As you can see from the posts following yours that this has and will be a big negative point to the game. Best bet "look, check before you click".
