Gotta love a developer who listens to the fanbase. I`ve got to admit I`m impressed with the pace this game gets new features. Keep up the good work, I sure as hell plan to stay around and see how you keep improving this game! ;) All in all I rather like the new pace too, a slowed progress is better than running out of content too soon and for now I`m content with the speed of my upgrades and all of the changes you did lately.

Ok guys, you are right: the wife should collect eggs. It's ok that exist a bonus for being active but NOT that you can't use the chickens feature at all when idle. I start working on it.

if your wife dosent collect the eggs whats the idle in having the chickens? and getting more chickens only gives u more to click on in a game thats made for NOT clicking.

I agree about maybe being able to "have" children that help collect eggs. Like edwardwong said, It's in no way child exploitation.
I grew up around alot of farms, and part of being raised on a farm is helping with the animals or crops.

I am also getting the egg bug but it seems to happen at random - some add to the egg count and some to the harvest count.

Wife could have a moodbar that decreases over time & makes her auto-pick eggs if filled. Increases when you give her flowers or talk. The house (marriage before upgrading house completely is easy) makes her happyness decrease slower for longer auto-picking, so upgrading the house after marriage has meaning.
Regarding wifes:
Mayor`s daughter
decreases mayor`s prosperity cost by a fixed percentage saving money, but no immediate benefit
Chickenseller
Some free eggseller upgrades or just permanent auto-eggpicking. Any who dislike chickens as is could skip them and still benefit. Active players can be best if she slightly increases egg laying time.
working girl
jack-of-all-trades assists in harvest/irrigation/eggs but does so at random (or boosts random skill), so you enjoy some benefit without abusale skillbuilds. Or she could start a flowerbed to produce flowerbouquets you could sell.

When you are taking an order from the merchant the eggs you collect go towards the total you are farming. bug or intentional?

You should be able to set priorities for the fields or crops. For example if multiple fields can be harvested first harvest the crop for the trader then the one of highest value. This way faster growing seeds are actually harvested more often instead of only once per "corn harvesting cycle". Maybe harvesting a "lower priority" harvest could even (optionally) be suspended to harvest a higher priority crop.
Actually, the plots DO have priorities. First "up-right", then "up-left", "down-right" and the last one "down-left". You can plant your crops acording to those priorities.

I don't understand some of the complaints about new aspects of the game making this become a non-idle game. The first line of the description clearly states 'Hybrid between active and idle-type game' You don't *need* to do the active bits to play the game, they're just bonuses if you decide to be active, or for when you pop back now and again to do a couple of things.

Can when we level up , our skill improved too, not like when we actually adding point but naturally like few 0.1% or smt like that!

Would be nice to have enough spaces for one of each crop. Also dislike the reused crops after you get the corn. Maybe the last upgrades should be some really exotic ones to signify higher level seeds?

You know in family owned businesses the rules about child labor don't apply, right? In fact, there's a tax benefit to having your children work for you. Ask any accountant with tax knowledge and they'll explain that the federal government directly subsidizes children working in their family's business

for some reaso my harvesting skills icreased from 14 to 40 percent over night. Not that i don't like it but there must be a little bug somewhere

Need to get the women to collect the eggs, otherwise, whats the point? You harvest the wheat, you pick up the eggs, all see does is stand there. The least she can do i collect the eggs.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
first of all, I like the new balancing much better! :)
2nd, I guess I found a bug. One can upgrade the egg trader even after it was bought once, but that upgrade doesn't do anything - eggs still give the same amount of points and cash than before. SO it should not be possible to upgrade him at all once he appeared, or upgrading him should make your eggs more precious xD

@Slomo - your wife only feeds the chickens, you need to pick them up yourself. And make sure you grab them all as they can disappear if you go to town while the chickens are sat down.

Whenever I`m busy fulfilling a vegetable order, the eggs my chicken lay are counted towards that order instead as eggs. + this if you encounter the same bug.

For the people who seem to not know how a house works you have to use the builder in town, you may have to add him with a properity upgrade(handing over cash to the mayer)

I am not be the dev but I will give this a go :
@ MTWitherspoon - Currently all the women do the same thing but from what has been said they will have different effects later.
@Jaquestrap + dadadaking9 - to get a house you need to increase your prosperity by paying the mayor. After 3 levels you will be able to pick an upgrade for the town and you want to pick the blue star that shows next to the seed seller which will give you the builder.
@trist111111 - the lower crops grow and harvest faster but the high end ones give more cash. As you upgrade your seeds you will see they double in value each time so go for the highest possible. When the merchant is in town try to get a target crop as low as possible - the quick grow/harvest time means a better return as he pays out the cost of the highest unlocked seed.
Hopefully some body else can add t this if there are any errors.

@dadadaking, you have to prosper to unlock the person to build house, he is located to the left of the seed provider! and house after marriage is basically useless and it cost sky-high!

Is there much of a difference, mechanic-wise, between the ladies one marries? I went with the mayor's daughter but the only thing I saw was that she was harder to woo.
