1st scenario:
When you set a machine to make a particular item it takes the required stuff and makes said item, when that item is ready it shows up next to the machine and YOU CAN see it ready for collection when you are on YOUR OWN farm.
2nd scenario:
When SOMEONE ELSE sets a machine on THEIR FARM to make an item it takes the stuff and makes said item, when the item is finished YOU CANNOT see that item on their farm ready for collection.
What I'm wanting to know is has the 2nd scenario always been the case or have you at some point been able to see others completed items without being able to collect them??
(I've tested these scenarios as they stand and they are correct, I'm just after past info)
