Also, it's great that my wife can now have other ways to gain exp! I'd also like to see that she gains exp cooking omelets for me. Before this, I was almost about to restart my game to get a different wife, for the other abilities ;-)
It's not easy to do that because the game has no server. Anyway, IF2 is different in some ways, and I think that it will do better if you start from the beggining.

Wow, was about to comment about the need to rebalance, when I see that the developer has already released an update today, to address that! Nothing but compliments on a great and fun time-management game, just thought rebalancing would make it even better... Agree with all the latest updated features. Also, one general comment I have is that there's a lot of stuff to do at the beginning of the game, but after a certain point, there's more idling/waiting required because with the exponential increase in upgrade requirements, even actively farming does not make enough difference to make it worthwhile. MAYBE that's something the developer can think about.

By the way, I found a bug where one of the other "potential wives" disappears. I picked Brenda to be my wife, and for some reason, the one standing next to her (I forget her name) just suddenly disappeared. It doesn't kill the game or make it crash or anything like that, but I thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for rebalancing. The game is playable again.
I have one issue:
When the wife levels with XP from watering/collecting/feeding the update panel opens automatically, but does never close (items below stay clickable). The only workaround is going to town and back again. Could you please remove the autoopening or close it as soon as anything outside of it is clicked?

I think you should be able to designate somewhere (maybe in an options screen in the next version of the game) that all wheat you produce should go into storage for chicken-feeding. Also, I'd like it if my couple can have daughters, too. It's too bad the main farmer can only be male.
In Idle Farmer 2, both wife and husband will be main farmers, and about daughters (and sons, hey)... we'll se what happens ;). The wheat thing will work a diferent way.

If you (in next version) allow more plots + hired worker(s), then have a timer on fully grown crops. If not harvested the crops wilt. That way if you have too many plots for the work force you have a penalty.

I was looking over your "chance at getting flower" update. Shouldn't the chance be higher if you farm higher lvl crops instead of lower lvl crops? That doesn't seem to make any sense to me if it's the other way around.

@Blue summer, read the game instruction! Wives give different of points when marrying and she will provide with stock bonus that she is binded with!

2. Why do you have to get 3 Levels of Prosperity? Why not just make it "every level" but increase the prices for every level to the amount you would have paid for 3 lvl increases? I mean seriously, an upgrade that doesn't give you anything on 2 of 3 times? That doesn't sound right
3. Why does it take so ungodly long to lvl up you wife? Especially the fact that you don't know in Advance what wife has what skills, it's painfully long time to even get the second and thrid skill and then they're relatively useless (especially Watering on lvl 1).
I beg you to think about it an make some changes here, because otherwise the game get's boring far to quickly (my 4th day with the game, having it on around 5 hours a week, already bored because everything gets so slow!).
You're right about prosperity levels, it's that way for historical reasons, I'm thinking on modify it. About the wife, with last update shw would level up faster.

So, here my thoughts on this game:
Overall, I like it. It has decent Graphics, the gameplay is nice and, at least at the beginning, you keep coming back.
But there are a few design choices that I question a lot:
1. Why does the additional bonus you get from the Cow Guy, as well as the Skills you get buy leveling up decrease?
Especially for Cow and Workshop Guy, it would be much better if it increased! They money you have to pay already gets more and more at an alarming rate, so why does the usefullness go down?
Same with skill, why not getting a steady bonus instead of a decreasing one?
It already takes longer an longer to get enough money/exp, but it also is more and more useless to even increase them!
I think it's necessary to slow down the game bit by bit, but it's possible that it needs more balancing, specially on the prices. However, many games uses a similar model when rising skills. Anyway, over upgrade/skill level 100, it goes up at a fixed rate (except for selling skill).

I thiink you should fix the bug were you go back to your farm and dont see pants that are fully grown, also you should be able to prosper somone even if you can use them yet (The chicken breeder, cant prosper till wife)

I'm not sure why you should get less flowers with high level crops: they already take a lot more to grow and harvest, thus giving a lot less flowers

Wife watering would be useful only when idle, but when idle harvesting is what really makes a difference since the farmer always has something to harvest, thus the skill becomes totally useless. I think you should put attention on balance with your next game, avoiding these situations.

It's not very fair not being able to reset wife's skill and not having a clue about what the upgrade will do. Also wife's upgrades seems to not do much (maybe even nerf the wife?) and takes forever to get.

in the future i think this game needs a bit more stuff. im thinking animals like cows/sheeps/pigs and what so ever. for cows u should be able to milk them and sell it or use it for making a cake insteed of that omelet :). and pigs to breed and sell. sheeps for their wool to sell or something that way etc etc :) then the idle game would suddenly become more fun and maybe attrach more peoples to play it =D. the game it self as it is right now fast becomes boring because u need more and more money to get 1 chiken more which is a bit of a shame it shall cost that much for one chiken :(. anyways just my oppinion :) please like this comment if u all agree with me

Can we please have apostrophes as dividers for numbers, so it's easier to tell how many millions and billions have? You know, like 35'497'243'972.

The game needs an end... "You played 100 hours and your score was:" or... "It took you XXX hours to achieve max score".... or something of that nature. Instead of being an endless self-playing game.

So what exactly is the point of the wife? I'm not seeing a bonus for having chickens as of yet, is there an option to send her to town or something to sell what she has or?... Leave a shout on my profile or something please if it's just something simple i'm missing

Bug 1: Some kind of long-term instability with this game causing flash to crash eventually on Chrome. Bug 2: After game crashes on chrome, wife has infinite bar for feeding chickens going off the top of the screen and never diminishes, I haven't had to use any grain for the chickens at all for several days now because of this.
