Missing Stars, & Missing Feed

ID# 43167646

My welcoming "The Shrub of Stars" has stopped working again. It always worked with flash, but has not worked since the changeover.

Please, please, please fix this wonderful celebration of stars, dancing their joyous welcome each and every time I go to the Main field!! They are such a bright and happy sight that they actually keep me playing this game, in spite of it's myriad problems!!

I realize that, overall, it seems a minor problem, but this simple decoration lifts my spirits every time I see its fountain of sparkling white stars being tossed over and over again into the air.....and that happy 'dance' IS enough to keep me playing this game.

It is located in front of the farmhouse entrance on the Main field.


2nd: I mill almost all of the feed for my animals, so I check them each day that I'm on the farm and constantly choose, by quantity remaining, which ones to mill next.
I have noticed that occasionally when I come back to the farm after having closed it down for the night or longer, several animals have gone to zero feed or very nearly zero. This should not be happening.

Do you know why this might be happening? Are they randomly reducing feed by a timer? This has been happening with both Main and Baha animals, but it does not seem to be both at the same time, nor have I noticed any other pattern except multiple feeds, on either Baha OR the Main fields, occasionally being reduced while I am gone.

I don't expect that an immediate answer will be found, but thought it should be reported. Would like to hear if anyone else has noticed the same.


Thank you for your help, and I hope you can get my beautiful, happy Stars dancing again!

 

Hello farmlily3,

It may be just a visual display that your deco is not working. No animal feed should be missing, again it may be a display error. I can see you have several feed running production at this time. Is it possible you are using the feed quicker than you can mill it?
Have you tried using the Standalone Client to see if the Game runs smoother?


Can I assist you further?

 

Yes, please.

These are not very new problems, as the feed started being missing a while ago. My first thought was the same as yours, so I watched carefully. I usually fill the mills last before I leave the game, so am aware of any that have gone to zero and those get noted and usually milled first. Sometimes on Baha there are one or two that I leave at zero, but I am aware of any of these.
Just a short while ago I was gone for a several days and when I came back there was an unusual amount of Main field feeds with -0- feed! Enough to ring the alarm bells. This is becoming a pattern.

As for the Shrub of Stars, it is a Unity Stand alone problem. During this long trial period it worked fine on Flash. When I switched to anything Unity it stopped working.
(This is what happened when I reported to you that it had stopped working the first time. When I posted again that it had started working again, it was because I was back on Flash, where I have stayed till it was gone. And that was when it stopped working again.)

 

If you can be more specific about one of the feed you think went missing, I could try tracking it down.

Have you tried using the downloadable client to see if your shrub of stars works properly there? Do you have "animations" allowed in your Game Settings? If you do and it is the same on both platforms, I can only ask you to be patient and hopefully it will start working again.


Can I assist you further?

 

Sorry shooger, but I will have to wait till I notice it again. It is very subtle, and as far as I can tell it behaves almost like it disappears as if on a timer overnight. I've been trying over time to pin it down, but no success yet, just observations.

I am using the client that appears when I log in, not clicking on the Unity in the upper right corner. All my animations are allowed.

 

I will leave this thread opened until you can track down at least one kind of missing feed so I can check your logs.

Thank you, shooger - it may take a while as I am not in the game every day.

(Leaving a cooler filled with goodies to tide you over!)

P.S. My beautiful stars are still 'missing'...
