    Right now, when you deploy pens and then upgrades, the upgrade will go to the first pens "in line", regardless of whether they are already fed and running or even ready to harvest. Please change it so that the program first searches for "unfed" base pens first. Or, just send out a query similar to when you demolish the pens asking if you really want to upgrade the pen that has already started.

    I realize that all we have to do is to remember that we have some pens already started and then manually deploy. Still, I am guessing I am not the only one who has plain forgotten or just, from habit, clicked the upgrades to deploy without thinking right after putting out more base pens.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    I 2nd this suggestion. I have had this happen quite a few times. The upgrade that is applied to a pen already in progress starts over making both the time and feed/water already invested lost.

    Great idea woody. Sometimes I have forgotten that I've already started some before I add upgrades.

    I also Agree

    AND another thing that is extremely annoying is putting your farm back after an Event
    With Classic pens of 1-2-3 ... NON classic pens ...upgrades ... coloured pens...non coloured pens
    It is actually a nightmare sorting them all out when you have been playing since 2010 and have accumulated 17 pages of stables in ALL>:(

    Surely there must be a way to make this better
