SuzyQ22 (US1) said: I just thought of something else too. What about those limited contracts? Your storage is 3350, but the contract wants 3357. So, you have what you need in storage, you are going to fill that contract with what you have in storage which effectively empties your storage and then collect the new harvest to complete the contract within the 1 hour allotted time. So, let's me see here, if that thing automatically sells everything over your storage capacity, you will "NEVER" "EVER" fill that limited contract.
@SuzyQ22 (US1) Limited contracts are not included - In the video he calls them Temporary contracts by mistake, but he meant limited ones.

Thank you WascallyWabbit for clearing that up for Us, much appreciated,
Not helpful during a coop championship. I clicked on it to see what it was and all my lovely things lined up for missions...gone. Then goodbye gold? Double whammy.
Although the basic idea of the ‘harvesting all button’ is
great, it has been brought in a foolish way! Who wants to pay 50 gold to
harvest 5 chicken coops?
This is supposed to be a strategic game, but over the years
the farms have become so big that it is now a ‘how fast can you mouse click’
game. It takes me minimal 30 min to just harvest everything and start a new
production. Hardly any thinking needed for it. I constantly see the number of players
on our server dropping. People lose interest as soon as they reach level 50.
One button that opens up a control window where you can
select which buildings to harvest and which new production to start would make
a huge difference, and save us a lot of boring mouse clicking. Time we could use
to chat and have fun, determine strategies, share information. But if such a
button comes at a tremendous gold cost it is useless:( Really a pity, because
this game was huge fun when it started, but is more and more becoming boring.

LOL, I'm not sure you understand what I was saying here. In the video he says all contracts will be filled, except temporary, which I knew he meant to mean limited contracts. So then, when the regular contracts have been filled, and there is no more need for product it automatically sells the overage. Effectively leaving you without the needed products to actually fill the limited contract.
This is fantastic. Prime time offers popping
everywhere all day long and then the implementation of this wonderful button. I
feel totally inspired to buy more gold now that there are even more ways for me
to lose it by mistake.
Fine, it can be hidden from view. But how long will
that last, with all the lag, cache clearing and reloading we all have to deal
with?
Tsk. Every time I return to the game to see if
anything’s improved, you guys give me even more reasons to stay away.
One of members pointed this out: During missions, you don't want to harvest every single thing at the same time. And with non-stop CCs, I have to wonder who would actually use this thing, especially since it fills contracts you might not necessarily want to fill.

I clicked on it to see what it was and goodbye items lined up to collect for missions during coop championship and goodbye gold. Double whammy, big bummer.

Exactly what I said in my comment on the first page. See I just knew this would happen. Sorry you have experienced this issue already. It is a shame to have to even tell you that.
Once again, GG rolls out SOMETHING new. Well swell. I see the little icon, I looked, I see the icons at the bottom, the barn with a green something that looks like a blank iphone, a store, = cash. OOOHHHHKAAYYYY???? Then I saw the gold coin, but not one single CLUE what it means, how it works, what it does, let alone what it does for me, other than be something I might click on and dump gold into.
UNLESS I come here and hunt and fish to find out what this is. GG how about in your next survey you send to everyone, ask ONE question. DO YOU USE THE FORUMS? Y N
I bet you find out a whole lot of people don't.
So.... if someone wants to be kind enough to either point directly to a link explaining this new mystery way of losing gold, great. I'll read it and thank you in advance. I am a leader in one coop so kinda my job to inform. But.... this is summertime. I don't spend hours on here when the sun is out. Sure don't want to waste my day hunting for how some new bing bong in my little past time click fest game works. Meanwhile, I haven't needed this thing what ever it is before... so for me it's just one more place I need to avoid clicking so not to accidentally drop gold.
BTW... WHERE IS THE PROMISED GOLD LOCK?????
The picture you provided explains that it is a TURBO Harvester, and charges 350 gold. But you are right, it doesn't explain that it puts everything it can into your storage then fills contracts from top left to bottom right (regardless of if you do contracts or not).

@WascallyWabbit, may I ask, WHERE did any players ask for this? So, they are putting new features into the game, without fixing the errors that were introduced. The only way I could even THINK this would be beneficial was if NO EVENT was going.
PLEASE, tell me how this is beneficial.Would like to know, HOW, even if I was a GOLD user, HOW IS THIS BENEFICIAL? I guess, if all you do is get on, and get off, and just use the button to harvest. LOL
AND how, does that encourage someone to be a member? oh, my. I am afraid that you have lost the basic attraction to the farming. Then again, ya'll have forgotten what made this so attractive to people. So close to doing what others have done. guess the developers don't know they are shooting themselves in the foot. Destroying a beautiful game that would have been making them MONEY for years. Until they FUBAR it.

@SuzyQ22 (US1) Yeah, you would need to fill those manually & then harvest all after (if you wanted to) - There are several things that it would not be practical for, as some others have mentioned, like missions when you only want to harvest one thing.

@holidayrox (US1) A "harvest all" button & one to restart all, have been suggested several times, but like the one click watering of coop trees, what we get is not quite the same as what was asked for.
I do ASK FOR the repairs of bugs that have been introduced. LOL> Guess I should take that as a warning
WARNING to the DEVELOPER: you are screwing up your member base. Have members who are quitting because you will not fix the edgecrop bug. GOLD PURCHASING MEMBERS. Whomever is in control, is majorly screwing the pooch.
obviously, the long term focus of this farming game is not in keeping it going.
Cause, if they had realized, it makes money So, trying to make it SQUEEZE money, I become more opposed to spending money. Ya'll really need to realize what your consumer base is. Frugal, but willing to spend for a good buy.
I don't get where this is going to help anyone. This would only be great, if you're sending in an email to have your account deleted. POOF, there goes all the stuff anyways!
Too bad I can't adblock this eyesore.

Possibly the worst 'improvement' to the game under new management. And the biggest ripoff. Why does this need to be a gold item? As complicated as this game is and with so many new items in the game, it is becoming necessary to have it for anyone wishing to have a life. Should be able to select as far as what is to be harvested, and it should most definitely be free!!
We love to help others!!
For Info or to schedule a Visit- message us in game
@WascallyWabbit, yup. I knew it. Introduce something new. INTRODUCE NEW PROBLEMS. oh, my. Gotta fix this, so the new stuff works. Um, yeah. While letting the stuff that is making your core base QUIT rot away.FIX THE DARN ISSUES WITH THE EDGE CROPS. I could give a rats a** about the new BUTTON to use gold to harvest my whole farm, which I wont do , since I do try to play the game.
ya'll are making me cry. I am about to give up on this .Guessing after 5 years, its hard.
I find this really disturbing. The game has gotten larger. This button was really, really needed and instead, that have made it something that almost no one will use, by making it a gold feature. I see this as proof that GGS has thrown the player under the bus, fully and completely.
