  • Hiya. :)

    I'm not entirely sure, but a few times the exclamation mark showed up for me when I had placed a new decoration. Once I clicked on the decorations in the deco tower, the exclamation mark disappeared. At other times, I can't tell why the exclamation mark shows up.

    If it's supposed to always show up whenever a production is ready on any part of the map, it may be too confusing. I prefer the "harvest ready" indicator. A "show me" button would be helpful when the exclamation mark appears for something else or what exactly the exclamation mark indicates. Noddy.
  • where on the test farm is the deco tower, i haven`t found that yet.

    hi everyone

    @Letty.liongamez (GB1) : the deco tower is in the gourmet farm, at the bottom of the screen

    @NoddyShepherd (DE1) : hallo noddy :) it doesn't come from the deco tower i checked but nope

    @LuraBelle (US1) : same thing, the tower is in the gourmet farm that's why it takes you there, check at the really bottom of the screen

    have a good one !

    :)

  • hi  lisoo (FR1)

    Ich habe das selbe Problem. Bei mir ist das Ausrufezeichen auch ständig da. Es hat aber nix mit dem Dekoturm zu tun, denn wenn ich eine neue Deko aufstelle bekomme ich ein Ausrufezeichen  für  den Dekoturm.

    I have the same problem. For me, the exclamation mark is always there. However, it has nothing to do with the Dekoturm because if I set up a new Deko I get an exclamation point for the Dekoturm.

  • Interesting development.......... I just went to my Cooperative Village & the red icon has FINALLY gone from my world map. Now just need to figure out what it was alerting me to lol Can`t see anything in there to do yet.

    Hiya everybody. :)

    I've been trying to "hunt" the red exclamation mark and can make it go away taking the following steps:

    a) switch between main and gourmet farm and back again by using the "next harvest" menu
    b) then click on the map with the red exclamation mark
    c) usually, there will be a market icon over at least on of the farms (main or gourmet), often over both of them
    d) go to the farm with the market icon, serve a customer, then go back to whatever I was doing.

    Sometimes (though very rarely), I have to do step a) twice to make the market icon appear. So my uneducated guess is that the exclamation mark is there to indicate that there's a customer on one of the farms, but the customer lags a bit.

    Can anyone check if my "theory" works or if I'm seeing things, please? :D love, Noddy.

    Edit : @black-.-angel *grin* I see our minds seem to play the same tricks on us. :D It's good to see that I'm not a lonely alien in "our" world, haha.

    The red exclamation mark irritates me a little cause i don't understand what it means; i try to make it disappears but it stays, with no explanation and no "show me " button...

    hi when i go to my main farm, on the right hand side you have the side bar and the world map has a red exclamation mark. i know it is suppose to indicate some thing is ready on your other farms or world map. but it won't go away. so i don't know what it represents. it was not there yesterday. any ideas why it is there?

    have clicked every where and still there.

    My guess is that it could mean almost anything is ready for you, including something ready to be harvested, construction that has finished, someone wanting to buy something from one of your farms, etc. Given that there are so many venues, it is really not very useful. Besides, it appears above the stack of times on the right side of the screen, and those times are often bogus anyway. That whole section needs to be fixed.

    I think it means something is ready/available. Usually for me I think it means there are market customers at GF (which I don't want to sell to, because I need the items for my bakery) so the exclamations never go away
  • I've noticed this a few times now, and have been deliberately checking for it just to be sure.

    I can be on a farm (just happened on the flower farm) and notice that the world map icon on the right of screen, (above the timers) has an exclamation mark. I've been checking the local organic market for customers before I click the world map, and when I go to the world map, it shows the icon to tell me I have a customer waiting at the market, even though it wasn't there the second before, go back to the farm, and sure enough there's suddenly a customer there.

    Like I said, I have been testing and checking this before I reported it, so I am pretty sure that it's happening, the first couple of times I thought maybe I'd missed a customer about to arrive, but I definitely haven't. Actually a couple of times I go back to the farm and it takes a second for the customer to even appear at the market, and when it does it's out of nowhere. Just appears, no walking up or anything.

    Hope that's all clear enough!

    I also have noticed the red exclamation mark on the world map icon, but have not had a customer waiting.

  • Just started my test farm today, only level 8.  I have clicked all items in the decor tower, nothing is waiting for me to pick it up, I cannot figure out also why the red exclamation on the map.
  • I did a refresh on my browser, it reloaded and the exclamation went away!
  • I have this too, collected everything, did boat, checked everywhere, gave to customers; red mark does not go away.
