    Hedggie, you may want to start the island all over, but I do not. I would just like to pick up from where I was at when this god-awful update started! Sure there are others out there who feel the same.

    Going into the garages causes the game to freeze... for at least 30 seconds or more.

    This is all academic at the moment as everytime I (or a co-op colleague) try to buy one of these machines i am getting the error code 3 window popping up. Hope we aren't going to be off another 4hrs while you fix this please

    Does the powerhouse work on stables that are finished and waiting for harvest? In other words, if You have cows ready and you wait to collect them until you start the power house machine, will that work?

    Thanks.....

    I can't help but wonder why they skipped the opportunity to have a booster for orchards as well. That would be really useful

    OK Got 2 say this I LOVE THE NEW TRACTORS they rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;);););)
    have used both the humus pro and the power house and they r awesome, and totally worth the missions. I gave the humus pro 3 humus a few tools and I think some certs and got 4 premium humus that is awesome. I don't buy gold so this will help my farm a whole lot. THANK YOU GGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT SOMETHING RIGHT :):):):):):):):):p:p:p:p:p

    I agree that they largely got this one right. One sticking point is the tool kits that you must collect are simply too hard to come by. These farm tools are a nice addition and could be great help for smaller farms. But these rates of tool kits are holding that back. I have a full farm and I have only gotten 1 tool kit all day.

    I tested powerhouse lvl1 at 50% and it's absolutely great!!!! It increases not only egg/milk/pig production but also dung :):):):)
    It's really a pitty that such a good update is lost amongst all these problems.

    When I signed on tonight and received the notice of a new quest regarding the farm machines, I went to my garage and ALL of my tractors are GONE!!!! I am extremely displeased with this! I worked hard on missions to get what I had! WHERE ARE THEY and WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT??? If I have to start all over, I won't. I will be done with missions. Period.

    In addition, I just went to the ship and was informed to START the Island Farm! Are you kidding??? This is my 2nd time around with that farm. I already have more than $822,000 farm dollars invested since the start of this go-round, (NOT including buildings, building upgrades, and production costs)! What has happened to all my work and all my money???

    Hedggie, you may want to start the island all over, but I do not. I would just like to pick up from where I was at when this god-awful update started! Sure there are others out there who feel the same.

    I would if I could but unfortunately I can't. I've tried. I can't even contact support to let them know everything that is screwed up with my game. My mine went down to a level 1 and I lost production of gold. So that's a total of $4000 in gold, gone. I'd like my money GGS.
    My garage can no longer be accessed.
    I can't do anything on the Island farm at all. All Island cash is gone, I can't do anything with the bank. It's actually showing a double timer there but won't let me do anything with it.
    My flag went from the 2nd yr. birthday flag to the grey one, although, I was able to put that one back but I did lose 1 of my "lifesaver" flags, I did have 2 of those.
    The 2 bottom compartments on the ship are no longer available to me either. It states to "unlock the Island farm." And that I can not do as I've already unlocked it and I'm not given the choice to unlock it again.
    Thanks for the advice though. GGS needs to address this problem but with no way to contact them, I'm screwed over again. I get nothing but a blank page when I try to connect with support. :(

    All of the above for me also Hedggie, including up grades to my nursery on the main farm, please GGS fix the bugs soon! I was at least able to send an e-mail to support, I am sure they realize they have a huge problem and it will be fixed soon, one can only hope! I can use my bank this seems to working okay for me.

    That's exactly my situation, too, Hedggie! I just do not want to start completely over on the island again! There are threads all over the forum reciting these exact same problems. GGS is (or will be, tomorrow!) aware of all of it. Hopefully, they will address our problems when they get in tomorrow.

    i'd like to know if anyone else still doesn't have a functional island - all my parts are there, but money's gone - touching bank freezes me out...

    FarmerSam - nothing will change until GGS gets in to work tomorrow - or for them - later today. The group of us who have lost so much will have to wait till GGS can attempt to sort all this out.

    I am also unable to transfer any money to the island bank, my tractors are gone, and the ship is telling me to activate an already activated island farm. The greenhouse has lost all the upgrades. Wow, excellent job, GGS

    I am hoping someone from GGS will notice the slow rate of tool kits. That is a major drawback of this, otherwise good, change to the farm machines.

    this slow rate gives you time to do missions. it's ok by me.

    the real problem is:

    Did anyone have a problem building the mango orchard (on US server anyway)? I built mine yesterday and couldn't figure out why the task hadn't disappeared... It gave me a coconut orchard instead! I know I didn't click the wrong button, It only took the 1hr 10 minutes mango was supposed too and only cost the 60,000 instead of 78,000!! But gave me a coconut orchard, which doesn't help me harvest my 1700 mangoes. I demolished the coconuts now, since I need mangoes. Hoping it comes out correctly this time!!

    Hi All,
    I am still being kicked of every 5 minutes or so. Done all the necessary like clearing cache etc. Also getting an error message when I try to build new machines. I like the look of these machines and look forward to using them one day soon. Please get this sorted.
    Awaiting in hope, Max

    Hey everyone,

    while for a lot of players, most things should be fine, we still have some issues to tackle to get the game on par for everyone. We'll try to inform you for all cases a server goes down, but please bear with us if unexpected things happen.

    Right now, the BG, PT and GR servers are down and will be put up again asap.
    Thanks, everyone!

    Your CM Team

    These servers should be back up and most issues should be fixed. Next up: NL, RO and SK servers should go down. Expecting a downtime of about 30+ minutes.
