Organisation of Storage is HERE!

FINALLY! My friends and I have been asking for this for as long as there's been serious storage capabilities. Previously the storage was a complete mess and impossible to look through, effectively meaning that once something went into storage it would never come out.

Now it's super easy to find and use stuff, the search button is definitely the best improvement as it allows you to search for a specific item that you know the name of! There are also five different tabs, "All", "Trees", "Animals", "Buildings" and "Decorations" within the "Buildings" and "Decoration" tabs there are sub-categories, for "Buildings" there's "Decorative" and "Home" and within "Decorations" there's "Nature", "Landscaping", "Ornaments" and for some reason "Buildings"... odd. Note "trees" and "animals", neither of which can be stored*, when you click on those tabs it says 'coming soon', I'm not holding out any hope for it actually coming soon as with Zynga's track record we'll be lucky to see if before 2012! I'd imagine that when they do make this available the trees and animals won't be harvestable in storage. I think it is a good idea to make them storable but I do feel for this to be a viable alternative to selling, they need to increase the maximum storage on each farm, say double it to 1,000 on each farm as people are already having problems with a lack of storage.

I think the idea of storing animals and trees a good idea, I have would probably use it as I hate selling animals that are no longer available.



Unfortunately you still cannot transfer between farms or storages, which is something I'd love to see. As you can see from the picture it simply comes up as "locked". Also, the expand storage button is nicely placed at the bottom which includes all other buildings that are expandable by requesting for help from friends.

*Apparently farmgineers (the reward for the crossover project with CityVille a while ago) are showing in the "Animals" tab but any attempt to use them throws your farm out of sync and they go back to storage.
