Hard lesson from Tom

Hello fellow farmers!

I purchased Tom for the first time yesterday. I thought I'd share something I learned the hard way:

If you ask Tom to look for a particular item and he comes back with options you don't like, you CAN'T go send him to look for something else. He simply takes another nap(I personally think he has a medical condition for all the naps he has to take. He seems young and spritely to me...) and you'll have to wait another 2 hours to ask him to look for something else. Ouch! That hurt pretty bad!

Anyway, I hope someone else can learn from my mistake. Happy farming!

Tom will always come back with options to buy up to 7 or 9 of the item you requested. If you don't like any of those options, you can click on the bottom "none of these" button and he will rest for 2 MINUTES and you can send him to look for another item...or the same one, hopefully with better options. If you buy an item, THEN he takes his 2 hour nap.

If you send Tom out for something and he only brings back 7 or you changed your mind you can just say no.

He will then take a 2 minute nap instead of a 2 hour nap.

If Tom comes back with too few items, you can click "none of these", and he will go back to sleep for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, you can send him back to try for more items, or you can choose another item for him to bring. You can do this every two minutes until he gets the item and quantity you need. ( His top quantity is 9). He can be very helpful.

He only sleeps for 2 minutes if you decline his offers.

Thanks for the info. Didn't know you can decline his order.

Thanks for the information! I was tired when it happened so I must've misread the timing. I appreciate the clarification.

Thanks for this great information, I did not know that either and always made sure I took the biggest quantity.
