    Are the people with the speech bubbles different from the contracts? And the mysterious guy that will offer me goods for dollars? Has anyone seen him yet?

    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.
    Sounds like some players get the waterfall (me) and others the new deco....weird...especially since I wasn't given the option. And I have all sizes of the waterfall already. There needs to be a better explanation in the tab where it says "fairgrounds" and if you click it (I did just to see what would happen) it asked for bouquet and changed to "carnival"...must be an easy explanation but I can't find it.
    Ok, now I see that this is where different contracts come from: One from fairground, one from carnival, etc. Now they are asking for so much stuff I can see how fast my barns are going to empty.

    wondering the same thing, gavin. And no, I haven't seen the "neighbor" asking for goods, just the truck.

    What is the major advantage of selling in the market? Just earning a few more dollars? That's nothing for players with established farms.

    I know. I am disappointed that it is only about a 3-4 percent boost over selling prices. It is certainly not an incentive to vary my production to include more items - which is what I thought they were aiming for.

    It also says that some contracts will be for gold or horseshoes (not dollars). I have done a lot of them. I have yet to see that.

    If I could get gold or horseshoes, I may be more inclined to fill the orders. I wonder if you have to fill a zillion contracts before you get those offers.

    I like that the flying exclamation marks over the car park will disappear if you wave your mouse over them - but not impressed that they reappear every time you change farms. I also noticed that Omar no longer had his countdown timer.

    I also like that the 'flyaway' objects from the workers' bubbles appear over the farmhouse and do not interfere if you happen to be clicking to harvest or whatever when the worker's bubble got in the way.

    The vendor stalls get bigger as you unlock more order boxes, the stalls for 4 unlocked boxes are much bigger than 2.

    Order boxes jumped from 2 to 4, never had just 3.

    I think there isd an error or I just didn't get how it works :)

    On the market you have 2 options to sell your stuff.... I fullfilled both on one I have to wait now 30min... the other one i can do again immediatly. However, after filling it 3times allready. He doesn't give any bonus or whatever... I just remains basic :) Is this normal?

    Is there any penalty or side-effect on contracts by "canceling" them?
    if yes, that's a bummer a bit, since its a pain to make pasta gift basket and floral perfume :|

    no the cool down is ok, i mean aside from that, like will it affect the "bonus number" or not mainly?
    like if we do some contracts the bonus will increase for that type right? now my question is if we cancel some of them will it reduce their quality/bonus again?

    Quote from the annoncement:
    Neighbors walk up to the market booth, odering goods as soon as they reach it.
    Each request is represented by a speech bubble containing the ordered goods and respective amounts.
    Once you have enough goods to fulfill an order, requested goods are marked with a check mark and the speech bubble turns green.
    If you hover over the speech bubble, rewards for fulfilling an order are shown.
    Click the speech bubble to receive dollars as a reward.
    If you do not want to complete their order, they will leave after a while, making way for new offers.

    What speech bubbles?
    I have until now not seen any of them, and therefore I can not hoover mouse over them or click at them.
    The only thing I can click at, is the market place, and by that way get orders and doing them.
    but there no way where I before I take the order can se what reward I'll get for it, I first see my reward at that moment I have sent away the truck.

    Furthermore I can not see which contract level I'm in, and not eighter which activity stage I'm in (but I have two orders at once, so I must of course be contract level 2).

    aside from the contracts in the market, sometimes some ppl literally walk to the market, they are totally different from farm workers, (mine came from the road in the east side for example from nowhere like if the road is connected to another farm in east) they have a "speech bubble" very noticable actually. when i hovered over the bubble it showed 615 chicken feed for 27k dollars + 20% bonus for example. when you click it it takes what it needs (615 chick feed in this example) and gives you 27k dollars + 20% bonus.

    this happened only 1 time for me though till now, so they don't come that frequently i guess.

    I don't know, haven't used the skip button yet. I filled lots of orders trying to test it all out and know more about it for in the morning when rest of coop is online. I got 4 order boxes at once unlocked. Never saw a bonus, never saw a payout of anything but farm dollars. I had to buy some products to fill orders to get that far. BTW you know that cabbage that we hate to grow? It is very popular in orders. Pretty much saw every item raise, grown, or made from a "recipe" in the orders. Things you are use to having full because you use so little of them, POOF, gone. I still think there is a glitch because I know others were talking and doing orders it sounded like as fast as I was and suddenly I had 4 orders while they are still on 2 and they started before I did.

    THX Brian, now I don't have to write this down.............. Because it is exactly what I am experiencing on my farm, and my coop-members also. So no neighbours, speech-bubbles a.s.o. on the Dutch Server NL1 either.

    I think so. - Also I have collected 4000 gold from my goldmine this morning.
    But I also think (and hope) that, the goldmine will be 'unharvest' again, so that we again can empty the mine today.

    I'm guessing *not* Brian. A big definitely not and any work you did there since 5 a.m. CEST will be lost.

    You will be able to collect the 4000 gold again :) You don't "lose" anything, we just set back the time a few hours.

    Regarding events, I'll ask around if there's something we can do!

    As for the big payouts for things in the market I never saw any, I figured the low payouts were to make buying to fill orders an unpopular choice. I never did the math but there were several posts here about it. Oh well I will be filling order with a more rational controlled mind later today is my guess.
