Boat Repairs

In my UK Co-Op the boat repairs generally ask for about 5,000 Bamboos, but the International Co-Op requires over 14,000 Bamboos each time.    Is the repair quantity linked to the number of members in the Co-Op..?

Are the boats/jetty at the same level on both coops?

Yes both level one..

hmmm, that is strange. I bet a Mod could find the answer for you.

@andy123321 (INT1)  Yes the repairs on Yarnicles boat are directly related to how many people are in the coop. It increases with each member added and then really increases even more as those same players reach flower farm level.  It is because the Coop as a whole is supposed to help with it . In a perfect world a coop of lets say 50  1 person would do 1 / 50th of the repairs across the board meaning all the items across the board evenly in all 3 areas- hull stowage and cabin. It requires using a calculator for each item This makes remaking the items a lot easier for everyone. Move the cursor around on things while yarnicles boat is open it says the whole coop is supposed to help.  But good luck with that there seems to be a lot of high level players that do not participate in the village And I have had issues with getting new players to participate in the village as well . They just seem to not want to learn it at all and then when they reach flower farm level it makes repairs even higher for me . because the game does indeed register that more people could be helping with the repairs it increases by a small amount when they are new and increases more as their level increases and they gain gourmet farm and flower farm.
I think it would be helpful if there was text to show who helped with the coop boat and how much instead of it just being blind . And that would probably get new players helping if me as a coop leader was able to say i can see if you help or not look in chat.
but back to the top for a sec that 14000 bamboo you are talking about if the coop has 50 members and all help with the boat if it was split evenly would only be 280 bamboo per member . Soo much easier Right ?
What it comes down to is how many participate and how they participate . Just dumping in whatever wherever can still leave a lot of expense for someone else to finish as all the items cost different That is why the suggestion of splitting all items evenly like the bamboo. It only takes a couple extra minutes and the use of a calculator. But in the end I feel the outcome would be more fair for all members in the coop as 280 bamboo takes very little for 1 person to make back compared to 14000.
There is also a tread on this somewhere It talks about the items needed for repairs and they have a point value
each item has a different point value.  I will try to find it

Thanks for the information, Aquilawolf.

Thanks for that info..  I think out of our 40 members, only 4 regularly donate woods.   Looks like some of the higher level inactive players will have to be given the boot....
 Thanks.

its depend of number of player in coop 
best to avoid getting more than 10 player its hard to repair cuz few participate with 10 member its not hard to repair it alone
