    Weird, my husband and I both have a farm. My husband has the new tessa camping and I have the old one. I could choose my difficulty, he couldn't (he could in the past)

    Yes ( Half of our coop got the same.
    And I don't want old deco. Made a ticket to support...

    Nafaru confirmed earlier that we would have to do level 3 again to re-unlock level 4.

    I know that. But it is weird that I have the old one and he has the new one at the same time. We do have to do the same thing though (i chose level 3, he got level 3). Both have to collect 30 wood.

    Do either of you have the waterfall or do you both have the new camp with scooters?

    Red ! is still here on the Drop Box items.

    @ Gavin, mine shows a camp w/scooters 6x4, the same items to buy are there though. No waterfall.

    He gets the new deco, I get the waterfall. I also want the new deco. Not the old one (I already have a lot of those)

    OMG :thumbsup: gg

    Market is great! I am so glad I filled the barn with all things on flower farm when that option was added.

    I did see that if you are missing a waterfall from camping you have to get it first to get the new deco options and then it picks the lvl for you.

    The horrid lag I was experiencing is GONE, the game is moving faster for me than it has in I don't know how long.

    Messaging is messed up - the auto clear doesn't work you have to clear the words out before you start typing to get rid of them.

    Back to the game but really :thumbsup: How will I ever go to bed tonight now, lol

    No, I've checked. My Husband doesn't have the smallest waterfall, I don't have the level 2 waterfall.

    Is the sale never-ending?
    I have sold goods for over 10 times. Will it go on as long as I have the goods?

    Yes, disappointed that items to buy were not updated.

    Yes.....then when you don't have the goods, you decline the contract and wait 30 mins.

    I don't understand that about getting the old deco first, unless they mean obtaining once, at one point in the past, because I had rid myself of the waterfall long ago, because I thought it hideous.

    No, you can also get something which you don't have. I got one I didn't have enough (summer bouqet)

    I can't answer that but don't forget the ship will be back in 6 hours. Make sure you still have stock enough to fill the ship or it will be kept waiting and you will be out dollars, XP and horseshoes.

    This is a HUGE point to remember. I had noticed the issue, but not thought to put it in here. Great going DuffyPoo222.

    Also remember if you are not going to be able to fill the order don't give it any or you loose the partial order you had put in and get no credit

    Question for Nafaru......

    Now that we are doing the "newer" camping event, will it be run twice, back to back, because we are having to do level 3 (when what we really want is level 4)?

    Yes, here at the beginning the market seems to be a nice implement to the game. :)
    What not so nice, (my own fault!) I have not expected that my market customers also orders products from the shop on my flower farm, so I have none flower bouquets and romantic bouquets ready for that. :S
    - I skip these orders and find out the cooldown period is 30 minutes. (I'm sure that was the best thing to do, since my shop at the moment making honey cream, and have 5 hours left before I can make anything else in my shop)

    But I find it nice it seems like the market takes all products from the shop, even I was not prepred for it. :)

    Briannospam when the expanded the barn to include the flower shop products I suspected this was because the ship was going to start asking for them or that something new was coming. It felt like forever to fill the barn but I did it anyway, and suggested to coop they do the same. I am sure there will be some in trouble, that said I am going to be working hard to refill the stuff I have sold, the game just got busier that's for sure. Gone are the boring days of watching the grass grow so to speak we just stepped up to a whole new lvl of activity

    *Beep Beep* that lil truck coming & going is so cute hehe .... I`m liking the market so far, trying to make it run out of orders, but they just keep coming.

    I am disappointed in just how low the price differential is. You make very little extra money. It is little more than a rounding error. I thought maybe it would be 50 percent or something larger than that, but 3-4 percent, as I keep seeing is really, really low.

    This is not to poo-poo the upgrade. It does seem to work really well.

    should there be a cooldown even when you don't skip orders?
    I give the products, dispatch, get the money and still have the cooldown time for one of the orders but not the other.

    but other than that does seem like a nice addition :)

    I also have the camping event with waterfall deco.

    I am also less than pleased by the new placement of the farm machines. It seems like they will be easier to forget about. That having been said, they had to go somewhere, so it is not the end of the world.

    The "cooldown" your looking for, occurs when you run out of inventory.

    i still have plenty of inventory just one order goes into the cooldown period with no replacement order for 30 mins. But not the other.

    Correct, one of them does the cool down after every order, but not the other......... but eventually, you will come to something you don't have. Then you can decline with the little button at the bottom, and that will cause a 30 min delay on that one as well.

    Back to the point about the boat. My "back of an envelope" math tells me that if you cause yourself to miss the boat, even once, because you over-sell to the market, you can hardly make up the dollars alone in the market, to say nothing of the horseshoes, xp's, and the additional 6 hours, which are all lost. So don't let this happen.
