Change fertilizer settings back, Please!
I used to be able to make enough fertilizer for my 3 apple orchards and 1 cherry to run constantly with a touch extra. I have three cows 1 lvl 5 and 2 lvl 4. I have 3 pigs, 1 lvl 5 and two lvl 4. I also have 3 chickens fully upgraded. Now I have done most of these upgrades since I started noticing a lack of poop. When it was flowing smoothly I had a lvl 5 in each cow and pigs, but then all other cows and pigs were lvl 2 and 3. I also just recently upgraded to the highest lvl silo, and still not enough fertilizer!!!! Why would it flow smoothly with less, and now half the time my cherry sit snoozing because I can't get enough. They had to have changed something in the last 2 months!!! I worked hard to keep my farm balanced and be able to sustain what I have. I am not happy that they would go in and play with the numbers, which has thrown off the balance of my farm. Our co-op just happened to talk about this the other day. Then we realized it was something we all had kinda noticed. It must have been a small change, but like I said just enough to mess up the balance of our farms! I have not complained about Big Farm. I love the game. But this... this has me mad. :(X(

so there can be a number of things happening
-orchards on gourmet farm and flower farm use fertiliser
-your play time has changed
-upgrading takes time higher level barns the most
so they don't produce dung during that time
i needed to demo an apple orchard to run the orchards on the other farms
I have too much fertilizer and can't keep my silo running all day...
If it helps -
I have 3 pigs (1 x level five, 2 x level four), 3 Cows (1 x level five, 2 x level four), 5 Chickens all level five.
Then Consuming my fertilizer I have 4 apple orchards (3 x level five, 1 x level two) 2 cherry orchards (1 x level five, 1 x level one)
I also have a water tower at level 4 on my farm so that does reduce the amount of fertilizer needed to 6 for the apples and 18 for the cherries.
Then I have no water tower on the gourmet farm and I have 2 level one almond orchards...
I never have to stop producing with all of this...
Although the extra cherry and almond are a new addition so we will see how I go
I don't think the orchards are consuming more (as was discussed in this topic) so this leads me to think that either silos are requiring more poop in their production, or the animals are constipated and are not producing as much poop. These are the only two factors relevant for the fert production process.* I'm not sure what is going on here but something has changed, and that change is starting to become noticeable.
*I say these are the only two because I am ruling out player-made changes like upgrading a silo or removing animal sheds or whatever else Toetsoep was alluding to before.
Edit: If Rhon is right about there not being any change in dung production, the problem then lies with the amount of poop required to make fertilizer...
Edit: LOL Jay, we were posting at the same time. I, with my hopeless head for figures, do have the idea that there have not been changes in the silo, so I do assume that the animals are constipated.
" and.. no changes.. really..
I don't remember them changing it.. ever... and I've been here for like 5 months now"
Thanks Rhon, for taking the time to find it out for us.

The info button tells you how much dung you should get per shed, at each level, for each animal. If it is a bug, recording how much dung you are getting per collection would be helpful information to nail this
I have left a message pointing the CMs to this thread, for the morning. But they already said there is no change that they know of. I suspect filing a bug report to Support is the answer
I mean... when you do add poopers, but not more orchards, you should get móre poop and/or fertilizer instead of the other way around. I think
Update 5/23: They ran for a little bit but are now dormant again!!!!!!
Do note that bugs tend to be random and irregular, so not everyone might have this problem, and it might not be occuring every time.
The points where something could be wrong:
- Animal sheds not giving as much dung as they say they do. (I tested my chickens, they seem to be working fine)
- Animal sheds taking longer to produce. (this should have been noticed already)
- Silo taking more dung than it is supposed to. Make sure to test making different amounts at a time.
- Orchards requiring more fertilizer. (Especially for those of us without a water tower, this should be easily noticable)
- If all this shows nothing odd, try looking for changes in dung/fertilizersupplies after relogging or switching farms, or maybe picking up dung as a present from your workers.
If you find any inconsistencies you can send a more specific bugreport and help developers locate and fix the problem more quickly.
