    Boat has asked me for vanilla, and other coop members for wax and aloe

    The items you listed, aniromid, are NOT flower shop products, they are flower farm products! :) The flower shop products are as follows: Wildflower bouquet, Summer bouquet, Pasta gift-basket, Romantic bouquet, Floral perfume, Sweet-scented oil, Honey cream and Box of soaps.

    On Dutch Server NL1 the title of the product Honey-Cream is no longer visible: not when hovering over de flowershop, not in the farm management tab ... iow: it is nowhere to be found!

    mbeliever, these items you are mention is not new things the ship asking for, even they maybe are for you.
    I several times have deliver these items to the ship, even it's rare the ship ask me for these items.

    That's possible, but I still think it's strange that it asked for 3 rare items all at once right after the update. I'd like to know what's going on.

    No these have not been on the ship for a loooong time, since the first time the ship was run type of long time ago. I was not surprised to see them changed a little, but those are not the normal items the ship has been asking for for several weeks/months now.

    I was in the middle of dung mission and get the notice that the server was going down again . So I quickly took a screen shoot of the mission along with the players in it & what we harvested. Can we get our certificates for this please? Missions are a waste when you use all of your good resources in a dung mission.

    This is very strange, not because it asked you now, but because it didn't do that before at all. That is unless you've just very recently have bought both the Gourme and Flower farm, which I highly doubt. I'm a new player and before the update, the ship asked me for new items prior to building the relevant buildings.

    Does anyone here seem to be having server issues since this update occurred?? For that reason, I created a post in the area of technical issues.. Seems to be happening with everyone on my team, so alot must be having the same issue here. :o(

    Just lost out on my mission, and also the collection of my production for the project our group is currently doing.

    I'm a level 81, have had both my gourmet and flower farm since the moment i could... I was asked for aloe, vanilla and duck lettuce in my ship. None of those had been asked for before the update. I use to get the lavender essence on occasion way back when the ship began, but not since it started asking for fruits at all...

    Once you hit a level where you can technically own a product, like a citrus orchard (whether you can afford to buy and build it or not), the ship will assume you can provide it. Much like it asking for Viking fruits the day the temp farm started... Eventually you'll be able to fill those spots. It will just take time.

    It is just a very unexpected change to the boat for people, since that change wasn't known about. It will take some adjusting of how things are done again and what is grown and used or saved, or sold off.

    I'll admit that I not before have seen the ship ask for all these 3 rare asking things at the same time.
    - I have try to deliver both dandilion and lamb's lectuce at the same time, and also 1 gf product at the same time as 1 ff product, but not only 1 product from the mf and the rest 3 products from gf+ff.

    It's only few days ago, not even a week since I from my us farm deliver some lavender to the ship.
    I also remember, when my us flower farm was new, the ship asking for nearly all the different ff products at it first arrive just as I get the level to begin produce that stuff, but don't haven't enough time to have finished the production.
    - If you take a search in forum, I'm sure you will find some complaints from people who was angry because the ship asked for these things before they have had time enough to have produce enough to deliver it.

    I am really confused now. I thought the Flower Shop always produced items such as perfume and bar soap, etc. that could then be stored in the barn to be sold off at will. I got up this morning and all of my items are GONE. I had my barn completely full of flower shop items and it is now zero! That's hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of items missing. Hours of work. I want to sit down and cry.

    cinshaw2, before the update today, flower farm shop products always was sold immediately when we harvest them, we never before have could stored ff shop products.

    It's only few days ago, not even a week since I from my us farm deliver some lavender to the ship.

    I have often given lavender as well, but if you will look at my original comment, I said lavender essence. I have never before had to give any processed items from the FF. It's also possible that I have given lambs lettuce, but if I did I forgot because it's so rare. I've only ever been asked for fruit cake w/ cream from the bakery items. At first, I filled my storage with everything because I thought perhaps the ship would ask for it, but it never did. That's why I was very surprised that it asked for apple turnovers this morning. Now I'm wondering if I should fill my storage with almond muffins as well. I sold all the ones I had a long time ago and I don't usually make them. Hopefully this clears some things up for you.

    mbeliver, I also have deliver both lavender essence and jasmine essence, but it's long time ago I last do that.
    - The are products from the destillery, not from the flower shop.

    I can not remember I ever have deliver almond muffins to the ship, I think (but not sure) I have try to delivere apple turnovers.
    But I ofen deliver fruit cake with cream, it's only few days I last do that.

    Because of that the ship sometimes ask for things it's only rare ask for, I always have my storage filled up with all these items which takes several hours to make, and only sold out to make room for new products.

    I usually only own 100-200 of the bakery products because it never asks for more than that at the ship (at least at my current level, it'll probably increase as my level does). Never had it ask for aloe though, and I opened the Flower Farm almost two weeks ago.

    The update made to the FF I don't mind, I guess, it's no different than the others, I kinda like being able to hoard my items anyway, and sell all at once if I am in need of immediate cash.

    I'm sorry, if this has been posted before, I don't have time to click through the forum and read every post. :rolleyes:

    But: Any other deputy or co-op leader here that has the same problem like me?
    I just tried to update our "news" section for our co-op but it won't let me write more than one long sentence. 8|
    We usually had quite much info there about rules and researches, updates, etc.

    Is this a bug? Will it be fixed? ?(

    I do NOT like this flower shop change AT ALL. NOW I have to figure out the amount I get for the products; before, it stated the whole amount before you started production. Why do we have to go the extra step for this? The other way was working FINE, and now I have use the calculator to figure out what was already there in the first place with the original system. This is just one more lame unneccessary step that I enjoyed NOT having on the flower farm that has to be dealt with on the gourmet farm. That's another thing that was better than the gourmet farm; I mean, okay, so it's not THAT big of a deal, but it's STILL an extra step. I hope they don't work it like the flower shop and start just reducing the amount of the items when you upgrade the shop, instead of giving you more MONEY when you upgrade the shop. I could care less about how many items are needed to produce products---I want MORE CASH for upgrading the shop, NOT "less items necessary". X( DON'T try and talk us into thinking that that would be a better deal. PLEASE don't screw that up, GGS. And I mean, as far as the flower shop working differently than the bakery, so WHAT? WHY does it need to be the same? It was working just fine as is. If it ain't broke---don't "fix" it. If something happens where they decide to stop increasing the amount you make when upgrading the shop, in favor of making it "less items needed to make a product", then that's TOTALLY messed up.

    The new timer brings up an interesting idea. If there can be a timer for the co-op challenge to start, couldn't there also be one for the viking/island/special farms? A couple of days heads up on those would be a big help.

    Yes, this seems to be a bug on several servers. This is the right thread for this topic (here you can find more info): http://en.board.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/showthread.php?130992-Line-Limit-on-News-page-(Coops)

    Storage = Farm Management, same as the Bakery. Yes, same amount of Dollars. It's taking place because we want to unify the functions of both secondary farms, right now they work different for no reason.

    No problem with the change but:
    The mixer works different then the silo, the orchards on the FF need liquid fert on the GF normal fert.
    So, whats the real reason?

    Seriously? Now we have to fork over products from the gourmet farm AND the flower farm too? I was hoping they wouldn't start that....weird that I just thought of that yesterday and how glad I was that they only asked for raw items and not the finished products. Well, one more stupid change to this game...X(

    You used to have to fork over FF products before Shells existed. If you were high enough level.

    Didn't know that. Still sucks tho, because people who aren't high levels are more likely to have at least some or most of the raw items than they are some of the more pricey products that need to be made in the bakery or flower shop. I just finally got to the level where I can pretty much complete the ship (minus the extra stupid Scandinavian berries, etc.) with what it asks for 'cause I have extra raw ingredients, but I don't usually have products on hand because I want to sell them NOW, not have to wait five hours to guess whether or not I'll come up short when the ship comes. Great---now I won't be able to sell ANYTHING if it's a product until I make sure the stupid ship doesn't need it, so I'll have to wait, and wait, and wait... So basically THIS is why they make you store the flower shop products now instead of just getting the money when the products were finished. Becoming more & more of a gold player's game. Way to go, GGS...
