LAND! We need it - maybe this could be how we get it??

Most of us are getting pretty desperate for more land, what with all the new introductions of everything. Perhaps this may be a new possibility.....

Like farmers do in real life...
​

*Why not rent a field...for, say...100cc's/day, or 500cc's for a week....~max. time allowed being one week at a time (to cover events), since these are not permanent fields, but only rentals.~
A complete harvester function specifically for each particular field could be added for an additional 10cc's/day, or 50cc's for the week. These rates would allow everyone - even newbies - to participate from a workable level...perhaps L7-10? Only 2 fields allowed to be rented at a time - one for Main, and one for Baha.

*As rentals only and NOT permanent fields, these could be a limited rental of two weeks maximum per field per month per farm, or - if there are more than two 'growing' events in a particular month - additional rental time could be allowed.
These fields could be used for anything, not just crops - animals included.

*Main field could be the size of the MM field. In fact...why not make that field rentable between MM's instead of just taking up room till the next MM? Yes, there are crops on it, maturing - but they could be harvested upon being rented, or rented as soon as the crop is ready to harvest.
*That could be one field solved and available already!!*

*And one for Baha...the same size as the Rainforest.

Both fields - if they were to be the sizes mentioned - already have the stats done, making it easier for BP to work out the details.

Would most of you want to rent a field or two???? For a day, or three, or a week??? Or two??

 

More land is one answer, but there is more than one way to skin a ....errrr to shuck your corn !!!
I have been dreaming of having stackable pens....... imagine on a two x two square, where you could have all your orange rabbits..... Twenty high. A bunny highrise !!
Click... twenty feeds.... click twenty watered.... several hours later......you get my drift.....

or a one x one with twenty XXL pine trees......

dreams are free.....

 

I like both suggestions but have to say that I would prefer david's solution only because on one of my farms, it is all manual harvesting and 2 more fields is way too much clicking for me. The introduction of the Rainforest already hurts me to harvest. Additionally, with another 2 fields to harvest, those who don't have problems with their hands may find the additional time to harvest extra land to be longer than pets are flying (thinking of crows specifically and perhaps owls too if the game lags a bit).

 

Clever thinking!!!
Now That is using your brains and thinking outside the square.! Well done !! !!!

 

Maybe some sort of super duper buff (since CAC is easier to obtain now) that gives perhaps a +5 or +10 for crops which would open up more land for the pens....we've technically rec'd more land with the MM field and the breeding revamp....but in the end, I guess it will still come down to about the same result - we'll still want more land because the events will just require more of the crops/drops/animals/etc relative to what our capabilities and possibilities are...

I rarely post - but do so enjoy reading and learning from you all! Thanks for all of you who put so much into helping us figure out the events and what we need and the different ways/options we have to accomplish our goals!

Wow - David!! I love this!!! I wonder if it's doable logistically?? Seems like it should be............ We'd need to be able to separate them, though, when needed...how would this be done??


PnP, That's why a dedicated harvester would be there - for minimal cc's, NOT BB's. I agree with the need for less clicking!
Good point about the pets, too. I've been thinking for a while that they need to increase the time for pets due to the increase in fields to harvest. Mine run out f-r-e-q-u-e-n-t-l-y!!
Do you think an increase TO 15-20 minutes is reasonable???


Thanks marymac50....we learn from you, too...so I hope you will keep posting!!!


EDIT: New thought...In the beginning of this game it made sense to charge extra for the Harvester. But Now...years later, and Many, many, many more things to harvest...too many,really, to do by hand....it no longer is reasonably playable to do it all by hand, especially at the higher levels.

EDIT: I just read the summary requirements of the upcoming Event "Play it Cool"...and the thought - yes, just the very thought - of doing all that harvesting by hand, one-by-one....and add in all the extra time required...EEEEEEEEKKKK!! Nightmares!! And, as PnP brought out above, this can be very painful, even damaging, for some. Too time-consuming for others.
This isn't right. It should not be allowed any more, especially since it is hurtful to many. The game has grown too large.

Therefore, I suggest that the Harvester be made a free and permanent part of this farming game...as a logical progression of the game....keeping up with its growth over time.
Alternatively, a one-time fee of 50-100BB's at most might be charged initially, and then free for the rest of the game.

The Harvester function should be a basic and free part of the game.

 

I love love love the idea of stackable pens.
The idea is genius!

 

More land would be nice, but I am wondering is the rental idea is technically feasible. It would actually be more complicated, take more server space than a permanent addition, I think. Also, what happens to the crops/animals when the term expires?
