Your Top 5 Ideas for FT2

[Jonx]

Although I only have a limited time in FT2, I have sank hundreds of hours into FT1 and purchased every DLC. After playing FT2 for a little while, here are some ideas I would love to see that could set it apart from the previous game:

1) New Vehicle Type
Something like a Four-Wheeler or Side by Side. Basically a vehicle not used for "Harvesting" like the tractor, but one simply made for speed. This will allow moving around to be less time consuming but help aid in moving fields, crops, trees, buildings and other objects from one side of the farm to the other.

2) Greenhouses, Nurseries, and Hydroponics
This to me would be a game-changer or an awesome DLC in the future. Most modern farms have enclosed spaces dedicated to smaller form plants and trees. Hydroponics could also increase yields. Plus... Cacti and Succulents anyone?

3) Community Areas on Farm
It would be awesome to see weddings, festivals, rodeos, photo-shoots, skating rinks (winter) and other community oriented events take place on your farm. Where you could interact a little more with the town on your own farm.

4) Random Events
I would like to see some random events like UFO abducting a cow, finding gold at the end of a rainbow, and other fun random things. I'll admit that this one may be controversial because some people don't like dealing with negative factors. Either way, I think the game could really benefit from random events, even if all positive. Something about a random event keeps you plugged into the game when things feel monotonous.

5) Wild Animals
Would be awesome to see Deer, Bunnies, Squirrels, Skunks, Birds, etc roaming around your farm. Even if not intractable, it would be really fun just to see some wildlife strolling around your property.

I'm sure there is more ideas and I invite everyone to give their ideas. I'm not a developer for this game, but I am a developer for other games. So one thing I really appreciated is when the community bounced ideas off each other. Maybe the devs of FT2 will appreciate it as well.

Cheers

1. Specialization! Instead of making an all-round farm it might be nice to focus on mostly one thing. Quests would be tailored around this and one would get less quests, but they would yield more rewards to make up for it. One would still be able to build/plant/buy everything but for me I am barely level 40 and already overwhelmed by all the stuff that can be on my farm! Would be nice to eliminate the need for flowers for instance, as I am not a flower-person. And quest-rolling is on a timer...

2. Quests in 9-increments instead of 10s. Because of tractor.

3. Round shapes for terraforming, would like to make circular ponds and flowerbeds, everything just looks so square.

4. Events. And not like FT1 (I mean, I do hope they come back but it's not what I mean) Let me build a petting zoo and townies can come visit with their kids to play with docile animals. Have me host a barbecue for townies and friends, let me serve food I cooked and also add a barbecue and a jukebox! Being able to host a farmers market where friends (and friends of friends) can all come over and trade!

5. I like pets but I get really annoyed if the pet keeps follwing me around. Would like to maybe get a few dogs that will defend my sheep from wolves. Cats that roam free and catch mice that would otherwise damage my crop. Put ladybugs to defend from nasty bugs. Just a bit more life and interaction on the farm. And maybe have like a whistle to call a certain pet to your side to walk with you for a bit.
