Duck Pond (Challenge Prize) Needs Revision

Here's the scoop on the new Co-op Challenge grand prize, the Duck Pond.

The new Duck Pond takes up the same space (16 x 12) and people (52 for level 8) as 4 duck coops.  The harvest time is 2 hours verses 8 for the coop.  Pond takes 100 seaweed vs 25 for coop, but gold push would be reasonable.  Here’s the details:

Lvl 8 Coop makes 590 eggs (+250 for lvl 5 books) & 157 dung in 8 hrs, and 4 level 8 Coops make:

2,360 eggs (+1,000 for level 5 books) & 628 dung in 8 hrs

100% Pond option makes 649 eggs (+24 for books) & 172 dung in 2 hours or, 2,596 eggs (+96 for books) & 688 dung in 8 hrs.  If you have level 5 books you make 3,360 in 8 hrs with Coop vs 2,692 eggs for Pond.

80% Pond option makes 737 eggs (+24 for books) & 196 dung in 2 hrs or 2,948 eggs (+96 for books) & 784 dung in 8 hrs.  If you have level 5 books you make 3,360 in 8 hrs with Coop vs 3,044 eggs for Pond.

It appears they have erred in their calculations for the value of books with the Pond (it should be +63 for books just to make it even, plus more if the level 6 book is purchased). 

If the book calculations are corrected (so that it’s equal with Coops or the Pond), the Pond would produce 10% more eggs (236 every 8 hours) with the 100% option and 25% more eggs (588 every 8 hours) with the 80% option.  If the book calculations are not corrected, you’d be better off avoiding the Pond because the Coops produce more eggs with less work (1 harvest vs 4) and would require no re-tooling of your farm.

Your math geek,

    Hey Kamandi,

    this is a display bug :) If you check your pond coming from the main farm, you'll see the chicken booster's influence, when you check it from the 2nd farm it should be the duck one.

    We'll check if and when it's possible to change this, but it's been an issue for some time in various other features too. I'll remind people of it!
    Thank you for letting us know :)
