    Looking forward to this particular update, especially happiness and worker machines. Now to stockpile as many certificates as possible:)

    I'm a little disappointed. I thought new farm boosters would be things like boosts to gourmet farm harvests etc.

    No mention of fixing the humus display bug.

    Will the update also place the number of certificates we own in the equipment screen please?

    Along the same line as Rusty Farmer, although I appreciate the efforts you guys are putting in the game to bring new content, I cannot for the life of me understand why you are not fixing long existing bugs that plague your game: Blurry fields, moving buildings, workers in the middle of buildings, fields, etc, humus production boost in fields, censoring words like Grape or Skill in PMs... and I could go on and on as the list is soooo long.

    To me, if my roof is leaking, the first idea that comes to mind is NOT to build a new veranda but to fix the freakin' roof! Once that is done, I can move to another project.

    i totally agree my patience of playing a broken game is running rather thin. I find it rather cheeky that ggs keeps offering gold sales on a game that is riddled with bugs that dont get fixed just shoved away hoping people will forget that they are there. why would anyone want to pay to play a broken game is beyond me looks like more money than sense.

    I thought there would be so many people happy about the Deco Tower being moved? Guess not. I really don't mind where it is, but I know a lot of people where upset about original placement of it.

    Am looking forward to the Garage and all it's farm machines. Will starting doing some more missions to get some more certificates while I am at it.

    Sounds like a good update GGS, but as always won't make a final decision until I have seen it in action.

    It sounds very exciting with the new machines and I'm glad we finally got to know what the certificate is for.

    Unfortunately, this well enough that players like me who do not want to spend gold on missions in the future have to settle for last place in the missions. (Fortunately, it also gives a few certificates.)
    But ok, as we farmers say: No roses without thorns, no small pigs without boar.

    I'm pretty sure it's going to look much better with a garage where deco tower is just now, as I have always seems to be the deco tower has seemed out of place next to the farm. - Deco tower looks just like something you find in a city that no one finds next door to a farm.

    This looks nice, i think i will go past cautious optimism for this update. It'll be cool.

    The mission upgrade turned out to be good, they're a nice addition. And now that we know what the certificates are exactly for, and how many we collected, it'll be better.

    Thumbs up!

    If it is possible to squeeze in a fix for the humus display bug, and the bakery sell bug, i'd be even happier :)

    Well this certainly sounds very interesting! It will nice to have a little more to do around the farm! and as with all things we will have to wait and see before making a judgement.

    At last we get some use on our certificates and maybe once THE GARAGE is in place it will act as an incentive for players to do missions and be on the game!

    I am so looking forward to May 14th!

    This update actually sounds legit. C'mon GGS!!!! Lets roll this one out without a hiccup. Take your time and do it right the first time, this one should be really good.


    P.S.
    I really hope I have not been busting my back in missions for the past couple of weeks for nothing at all. I should have a few thousand certificates accumulated at this point, so lets not pull a fast one and reset the cert counts to zero. Thanks.

    Don't completely agree with you here Brian, I don't spend any gold on missions but have won loads of them, even against higher level players and gold using players.

    Anyway it sounds like a good update, just hope we'll get some tools soon so we can start using the garage. Would be a shame to have hundreds or even thousands of certificates and still not being able to do anything with them because we are lacking tools.

    Me to... until today.
    For a hour ago another member i my coop played a mission where she should collect corn.
    One of the other opponents in that mission harvest more than 25.000 corn on 7 level 6 fields.
    I have tried to calculated on it, and find that even that player have used spec seed with super humus before the mission start and have full corn book, it was not possible to collect so much corn on 30 minutes without using gold with 7 level 6 fields.
    But ok, if some people are so hungry for cetificates, then let them waste thier gold on that. :D

    I have a question about how this will all work. If there are only four types of farm equipment and they will have a limited number of upgrades, how does this work with certificates and tools which would be gathered in a more or less unlimited way. In other words, I understand how water is gathered to make seeds for the nursery - you keep growing special seeds as you need them. However, the upgrade with the farm equipment isn't making sense to me if the equipment and upgrades is limited. What would I do when I have all four types and they are maxed out on their upgrades? Maybe I read it wrong?

    Can't wait to see this implemented!! Should be nice. Don't win a lot in the missions, so it may be awhile before i can do anything with my certificates, but I've got a good start!

    Thanks for moving the deco tower too! Pretty, but it really didn't fit the farm theme.

    I want to thank you all for your hard work. I can only image the time and energy invested in this project. However, I do have some questions that weren't quite answered in the announcement.

    • 1. When these farm machines are constructed, will they stay in the garage? or will they have to be placed on the farm?
    • 2. If we have to place them on the farm itself, will more room be made available?
    • 3. With regards to the chat change, will the chat box itself be changed (made bigger)?
    • 4. With regards to the graphics, why more GUI to load, when a simple message will do?
    • 5. With regards to the wheel, I don't think sounds will suffice, why change the sounds when clearly the people want the prizes on the wheel to change, or to have different wheels for the different farms?
    • 6. With regards to the co-op tree, ditto № 5. What difference will changing the sound make to placate the players, when what they really want is more/better prizes?

    Instead of making all of these huge new changes, fixing existing plagues would have been much more appreciated at this point, or perhaps small changes would have been better. For instance, for the happiness, why not make decorations upgradable?

    I don't recall seeing anyone post in the forum how much they desire to have new farm machinery, verses the dozen even hundreds of posts, both on the forum and Facebook, about fixing the small, and in the case of accidental gold spending, huge problems.

    People enjoy this game, and I think it would be made more enjoyable if their needs were met first and foremost. After reading a number of posts, I think it is incredibly sad when a player feels ignored by management, or frustrated over a simple game.

    Well said Nauna14...

    The basic thumb rule in any software/game development is "Fix the bugs and then think about enhancement".

    Also, its a shame for a developer and tester, if the bug is identified by end user.

    PS: I am a software developer who is playing this game because it involves time and resource management skills.

    I said it First. Look at Page 1, Post #7.

    GGS, you will never change... but I might. I'm getting sick of you and your nonsense.

    Sounds like an interesting update, have to admit i'm slightly disappointed that the "farm boosters" dont involve the gourmet farm. Its so hard to keep barley and lettuce stocks up and a farm booster to increase their production sounds so much more appealing than a certificate and reputation points boost. What are the rep points for anyway apart from ranking/bragging rights?

    One thing I have noticed as I record all my missions this week and weekend (Wish I'd started earlier) is that there is a (small, but noticeable) increase in Certs awarded based on an increased number of good accumulated in the mission total. So getting 2nd with 500 something, to a guy with 2500 somethings, will get you more than getting 2nd with 500 to a guy with 501.
