this is really cool
Thank you!!
Love it, addicted. Got stuck on this for 10 hours I have a problem.
Thank you, I am really glad to hear it!
This feels a lot better, thank you for patching everything up! Stay on your toes though if I find anything
Thank you so much for the kind words! I will stay on my toes.
Pretty fun. Sadly it stopped working but i'll give it another try in a few days :)
I bought the Plot Expansion Upgrade after i allready had 12 Plots which completly broke the game, Farmers & Traders stopped working. Fire & Hire a new one doesn't work.
I am very sorry to hear that! That bug has been fixed in the latest update, so everything should work properly now. Hope youโll give it another shot soon!
Fun concept.
Some issues I have noticed:
When you hire a trader, the name still stays in the list. So you can actually hire the same multiple times. I find it a bit odd that you can't change the parameters you once gave a trader. I don't understand the differences between traders regarding regional and remote, and their traits like Quality Control.
When you manually sell and look for the best price tag. You have to make sure to sell the bottom items first otherwise your farmers might harvest and rearrange the inventory list thus leaving you sell something else.
Farm orders where not clear to me how they work. How do I fulfill the order? So instead of me having to ship grapes I received 7 bushels each week indefinitely (already counting -14 weeks)?
Rice? Mushrooms?
At times you can't buy new plots of land even when not maxed out? Had to reload. And when I had 20 plots (out of 22) and reloaded I then only had 16. Somebody stole my land.
Reloading I still had the research for two orders but the button was not active. Instead it said that I first have to research the feature. When I researched the third option I was able to access the feature again.
Didn't figure out how market manipulation would work.
I will look into all of those concerns as soon as possible. These all seem like bugs, so I will try to find them and patch them out ASAP. I will keep you updated :D
For the stock trader, there should be a button underneath where you hire them that gives info about how it all works.
For farm orders, it is more like comparing if it is worth buying certain crops at bulk.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
EDIT: A new update has been pushed out fixing all of these bugs!
Thank you for fixing the helper logic! I played until the orders upgrade, where I discovered you can place an order, but no crops are ever added to my inventory.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! With the order system, it should appear in your inventory after the delivery is completed within the few weeks it said it would. Was it still not appearing in your inventory after those few weeks?
EDIT: I found the issue and pushed an update fixing this. Thank you for the feedback! :D
lovely. i really like this mix between finance and farming it makes me feel smart
same
I'm glad you like it, thank you!
Great concept ! but I think there are some things that prevent me from really enjoying the game :
- The auto-replant thing doesn't replant the last crop you put on the plot, that's weird behaviour, since the only way to change it is to wait for the plot to be ready, quickly harvest it before one of the farmers arrives, chose the plant you want to plant, then click twice on the icon. If you want to be very reactive to the market, that prevents you from easily changing a lot of plots. Maybe you could add the icon of whatever crop will be auto-replanted next to the auto-replanting icon on each plot, and make it so clicking on it with a crop selected changes it ?
- The auto-replant icon disappeared at some point and never showed up again (I use safari)
- The profits for each type of crop aren't clear in the stock market. I really don't want to learn by heart the prices of 30 different crops to be able to calculate the profits for each, so I ended up only playing with whatever crops had the highest raw price and were the most stable (ananas and watermelons). A way to replace the raw prices with percentage values compared to the seed price in the graph would be much easier to get
- I don't think there's a way to easily have an idea of the seasonality of crops in-game? I'm guessing it's based on North-American seasons, but I don't know enough about the US to guess when kiwi are in season. Even a simple "Often in high demand when it's cold !" in the crop description would be nice !
- The broker are really slow ! Only selling like one plant every 10 seconds (and failing like 30% of the time) but costing like 30$ per day means they are only useful for very expensive crops, and not during rapid surges in value
Sorry if it seems harsh, it's not the intention, I really think this game has potential ! But because of these issues I had I stopped before unlocking the economy upgrades. Love the outfits if the farmers tho
Not harsh at all! Thank you so much for taking the time to give feedback, it is very useful and I want to make sure everybody enjoys their experience while playing. You made some fantastic points and I will take them all into consideration going forward and try to work them into future updates. Stay tuned!
Also, very happy you enjoy the farmer outfits, I had a fun time designing them!
Thank you for playing!
EDIT: Just as a note, the replant buttons will disappear if you have no workers on the clock at the time, since it only appears for them. If there was a different reason please let me know!
The replant you have to switch off and on again to honor the latest planted crop. It's not that bad since this allows growing a batch and then going back to the auto grow setting. But if that was intentioned the mechanic should be more intuitive around that.
I hear you, I will look into a way of building up from it. Thank you for the feedback!
I feel like I must not understand how stock traders work. I just spent 8k on a dude who only sells a single crop type, and I can never change his minimum price?
That is a great point. I will look into adding a way to edit that minimum price.
EDIT: There has been an update so you can edit their details.
The land plot buying is completly bugged: Entering the game it showed it can buy some, but even with money i could not. Later I could buy one, but not the next (even with money for it, I could not click it)
WHen I purchased the land plot increase research, suddenly the to be bought land plot disappeared
Going into the settings and save/load fixed it....
Hey De_inordinatio! I see what you're saying and I am really sorry you were having those issues. I just released an update that fixed up these bugs and overhauled the system. You no longer need to research the plot management tier to begin expanding plots and they should work as soon as you get the money now. All the bugs you were experiencing with it should be fixed now as well. Please let me know if you have any other errors! Thank you for taking the time to point these things out, I really appreciate it!
Well thanks. not sure its my save or still bugged: It slowly by every click got back my fields unitl the last one. it is unclickable, has platns on it and is served by farmers...but I can not "buy" it and there is no filed after it....
Okay, thank you for the input, I can look into this. Just to make sure though, by "last one" do you mean the add plot button? If it helps to explain you can also add a screenshot too so I can better understand the issue.
EDIT: I just pushed out another update that may have fixed your issue, but please let me know if that was not what was affecting you. Thank you for your patience, I really appreciate it!
Why is the save not working !
Just lost my whole progress of 2 hours
Save/load works but the plot is bugged. I have all my crop but my land got deleted. my Farmers stopped moving etc. needs a lot of fixing
Nah it isn't working
Close the tab completely then open it u will see.
The save system should be working fine, are you sure you saved your game? This could also be happening if you are using a browser with file access limitations or have a built in antivirus that could be blocking. What kind of browser are you using?
Brave browser
With the newest update the plots you purchased should be restored, that was part of the same bug you were experiencing elsewhere.
Am not sure the expand plot ever becomes enabled.. having to disable the auto replant to switch the crop you may also want to clarify. It's pretty and fun though!
To enable the expand plot, the first tier must be researched in "Plot Management". I will work on making that more obvious though, as I can understand the confusion for sure. I can also have it clarify turning off auto replant to switch the crops too. Thank you so much for bringing my attention to this and for the kind words!
EDIT: The entire system for this has been overhauled. You no longer need to research the "Plot Management" tier to begin expanding plots. Now all you need to do is have the money to purchase them!
It'd be nice if your hired farmers didn't just follow each other around going to the same plots together and wasting your money
Absolutely agree, they're a bit social when they are waiting for crops to grow. Having multiple workers has a lot more advantages once there are more farm plots available as it allows them to spread out better.
EDIT: I just pushed out an update that overhauls how your workers behave. This should ensure they do not waste your money and all handle their own plots now even on small-scale farms.
Thank you
So annoying....
i love it!!
That is great to hear! Thank you!!
This is so addicting. Paused my game just to say this.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the kind words! :D
