Can't find "The Farming Magazine" any ideas?
Usually, that's probably the most common magazine I find. Since the last update, I found a lot (more than before) useful magazines, but can't find this specific one.
Maybe it has nothing to do the last update, maybe it's just bad luck.

Would you tell me if you made the same observations than me?
And if you found the Farming Magazine, could you tell me where?

I have searched many houses, many mail boxes, the hardware store, the surrounding farms, warehouses and more. Yet, I can't find it...

It usually hooks me up pretty good. I also check schools. Pretty much anywhere you find a lot of bookshelves.

I found one in a mail box. Think you're suffering from RNG...

Oh... so The Lady doesn't smile at me. Well, if you don't have the same problem it gives me hope to find that damned magazine.
Thank you for your answer.

Have you checked the book store in West Point. I can usually find most of what I need there. Of course RNG is RNG.

Well, that's just insane. Searched the school at Rivercity, then went to West Point, searched both schools, the bookstore, a hardwere store and some storage nearby that contained a lot of farming related stuff (including books) then went to a farm for the night, searched it.
Nothing.
This magazine won't appear anywhere I look. I mean, during 2 months in game, I've searched countless shelves, boxes and containers of all kind, and still not a single farming magazine. I really suspect some kind of bug, now.

So, I resolved my problem by cheating... :/
Changed the Distributions.lua to make mail boxes have a great chance of containing that magazine. Restart the game, opened a mail box and there it is, at last!
Then changed back the file to normal.
Oh, and by the way, I don't know how Kurogo looted that magazine from a mail box like he said, as in the Distributions.lua you can see that mail boxes (or "postbox" as it's in fact called in the file) don't drop that item. At all.

And to conclude this wonderful story, I died in a car crash returning to Rivercity. I'm so mad at that bloody magazine that never spawned.

It happens. Sometimes you just don't get the luck. There have been games where I'm searching for weeks for a sledgehammer or a specific book and then other games I find everything I need in the first week. Sometimes RNG can be a real ♥♥♥♥♥. Lol

Well, the next game I started in a pub. I think that's good omens.
Looked for Gary King and Andy Knightley, but it seems that wasn't The World's End. ;)
