how about if you put a in the buy plants box it automatically buys as many plants as you need to fill your land that you need to plant.

unfortunately Azzer (Game creator) is vehemently opposed to having any sort of automation involved in the playing side of the game. So your idea has been suggested many times, and ignored many more times ;)
Gosh, in the past it didn't even say how much plants you need to buy to be able to fill your acres in the "supply depot" page :P
I am happy as it is atm :P

I like it :P
There's no harm in having an "a" there that will buy the amounts needed - amount owned to fill your acres. It's the same as having an "a" for plant all seeds instead planting 3289475623495 tree, 478532695345 bush, 234278934 flower and 495348905734905 grass by writing each number manually.
Lazy *******... do it yourself, its no biggie! You gonna ask for bush whiping your ass some time soon I guess...

If you type each number by hand every time you plant your seeds i'll be against the suggestion :p

I like that idea! Its nice and its like like planting acres so it makes sense.
And it takes too much effort to type out the numbers!!! :D

ok. now to explain why this is so funny.
You use to be able to do this, put a into the buy boxes.
however after lots of people did it by accident and effectivly thirded their funds it was removed.
can't see it being put back in, sorry.

Thirded their funds buying plants? :shock:
They must of had a lot of land to fill...that or maybe you're referring to the first day of the round??

I think he is reffering to an entire different thing .. use "a" to spend all your funds on plants instead what the original post says "plants you need to fill your acres".

Yeah, well that thought crossed my mind as well...but if you were to spend ALL your funds on plants, you would effectively be spending 99% or more of your funds, which isn't anywhere near a third. Hence, why I was, and still am, confused. :P

Tree selling price = 300
Tree buying price = 900
Got it now ? :P

just to remove confusion.
well all i am thinking is
I just won some land, wanna fill it, got no plants, i go buy plants.
Virtually every othertime i type stuff in i type. a,h,t,q,f except when buying plants.

i may be getting confused here but isnt A short for all????
when your planting and you want to plant ALL you press A
when your sending a mob and your sending ALL your troops you press A
when your in supply depot if your going to buy something dont type A unless you want to spend ALL your funds
not exactly rocket science im sorry but i want people to think when they play this isnt really an issue if you are either a) paying attention or b) clever enough to understand bush in the first place
come on people.........................

My suggestion to you, is that you dont sell all of your plants and use those to fill your land. that way u never have to type.

first of all if implimented. use a relevant letter. not currently in use..
or why just one letter use the word "fill". infact. make it "fill my unfilled acres for me"
that way those who are to stupid and lazy to c&p the values straight from the bottom of the supply depot, into the boxes
will have to do twice as much work. cummon people its a very easy game to play. you dont need any more short cuts. azzer even added ~ on the hiring page for those that cant add.
now you want something for those that cant copy and paste. azzer will never do that. automation FTL.
just ask nicely for some one to get thier pluggin to do it for you if you are really that lazy.

Actually, I find it far easier to just round the numbers up, and type it manually.

I usually only need to buy plants the first couple hours of the round or so. after that i never sell all my plants, so i always have a few stocked ready to plant into new acres.
So to me it is not such a biggie. But if you always buy the plants you need to fill your acres with, then i can see it might be a bit annoying.
