How to fix a lot of the problems

[Sassy Red]

It surprises me how often I think there is something wrong with the game only to find out I forgot to do something or I messed up somewhere. Now I just start looking for the Item that needs fixing. 99% of the time I find it. The other time when there is a glitch I just restart the game and it fixes it's self. Although this dose not happen often for me.

Yes there are a few things that can be fixed. But nothing so bad I can't work around it.
ex: Kitchen menu is partly covered with the other menu so I have a hard time (or can not) adjusting the amount of people working.

Some of the issues are even funny.
Ex: All my carts are backed up. Dead stop, everything shut down. I can just see under a double decker rail way one person standing in the middle of the bottom track. Why they stopped there I don't know. But very hard to see. This has happened a few times now and I know to look. But the first time it happened I ended up deleting a lot before I found it.

Another problem is the animal yards (there are other too, that look alike and will fool you) will make fertilizer even if you don't ask for it. You will set up a conveyor to take your leather some place. Everything is going good and you come back to see it has all stopped. Only to finely find out there is a bag of fertilizer blocking the way. They look so close you can hardly tell the difference between them. Use your M key and delete the item on the belt and you will be on your way again.

All those black balls look alike and I have mixed them together enough to double check now. They will stop production and you will look and look for what is wrong. LOLL

There are so many things like this to keep you wondering.
I bet everyone has a few stories to tell about how they spent 30 mins or more trying to find out why something stopped working. I know I had some doozies the first 50 hours I played. I wish I wrote them down because now I can't even remember them all.

Best of luck to all
Don't get frustrated just keep looking Make sure all the I's are dotted and the T's crossed.
Or ask for help here.
The other day I forgot how to delete people... LOLLL Some one was kind enough to remind me. All you have to do is ask.

Here's another situation that happens. It is a bit of a glitch problem. But sometimes the flow will stop or change directions for some reason. The M key will delete the item and things will start up again. I had a black crystal stuck and had to delete two before it started flowing again.

And for some reason a bunch of balls would not roll down the chute when I started the game the other day. I put the barn at the other end and they rolled backwards into the barn. Had to delete the chutes and make a new track so it would flow the right way.

Glad you're enjoying the game : ) And I think you raise great points, and I agree the current state of the game is full of these 'friction points' that are possible to get through, but create momentary frustration and confusion, and basically take you out of the zone.

I'm tracking all of these minor issues - please let me know whenever you run into them - and my plan is to address them all ('smooth out the rough edges') once I get balance, content, and performance in a better place.

Thank you, Erik Asmussen, for being so diligent and for listening to what your users have to say. You're one of the best, most responsive devs I've ever had. Great game.

All is good. I don't just enjoy the game. I am addicted and love playing.

All things will get worked out in time. Thanks.
