The Falling Object / Drop bug...

Many people know this, so call it a public service announcement or something.

In addition to the 'objects in the floor' bug (see the Bugs Forum and Hot Issues for more details - please don't derail this topic with that one, but Bob is welcome to hijack any thread he pleases)... there is a bug related to objects that fall or are dropped not appearing at all.

Common places you'll run into this.... batterflies releasing guano, pigs and plop, pork fountains, and rearranging objects/sorting. On a rare occasion, it winds up being something weird like an empty slot in your inventory or bag after you've collected, picked up, or been given something. My most frequent run-ins of this type have been when receiving critters after a chicken has finished incubating eggs.

I'm pretty sure it's the awesomeness of Flash causing it, but it's almost always associated with something 'appearing' in the game window. Reloading the page generally fixes it. Pay attention to what critters are saying when you feed them. If you want to be especially cautious, make sure to reload after doing something like a pork fountain.

  • I've found that leaving the area and coming back also fixes this problem.

  • I agree Millie. I "lost" 2 things I dropped in my yard (1 a big diamond!) Much later when I went back to the garden, they had appeared. Just lag, or something like it. I'm used to that happening in another game I play.

  • The devs are wonderfull in the new live group,they attend you quickly and as for the item landing below the floor area ,dev said just let them know if you cant retrieve it or rebooting dosn`t work.I have only needed a dev to come to house once and he was super Kevbob but fell asleep in my house so I planked him to wake up ,that was a gas.He did however wake and leave after fixing prob.lol

  • I'm currently living in a tree house, and when I went to set my 12000 extra emblems in a neat, orderly pile on the floor, they all fell under the floor. I thought, well, that's convenient. Now I don't have to see them anymore. Next time I came home, they were all sitting on the floor, with innocent smiles on their little faces.
