Invisible Items

I think most people in their lives have thought at least once... What would I do if I was invisible?

It's fair to say the answer wasn't fail to collect a daily bonus but as Frontierville doesn't have changing rooms it'll have to do...

One of the most common problems these days seems to be buildings, animals or decorations becoming invisible, they vanish and you can't put anything in their place or tend them.

Well, I will now provide two answers, one simple and one slightly more nerdy one. Feel free to go with the simple one!

Answer 1 - The Simple Version (I want to know how to fix it)

It's a server issue, clear your cache and wait. Often it takes some time to right itself but the item WILL return.

Answer 2 - The Nerdy Version (I want to know how to fix it AND why it happens)

OK, what's happening here is everything on your farm has two attributes, Where and What. This problem occurs when the game still recognises the Where, as shown by the red square/rectangle when you try to place anything else, but has lost the What.

Every item in the game has an "asset" attached to it, a little picture or animation, that is what the game uses to display the item.

So, for example, put very basically the game looks at what it knows and thinks...

This building type, put at these coordinates, and it looks like this...

Unfortunately when that last bit goes AWOL we end up with invisible items.

Now it's pretty much the same as the simple answer, clear your cache and wait. Often it takes some time to right itself but the item WILL return.
