    We have finished the first two phases of Chapter 2 and now have the bonus round.  Weird thing is that the bonus round for the Coop piece looks like a continuation of the Chapter 1 bonus round.  Chapter 1 bonus asked for 142k chicken feed, which we have NO WAY of completing.  Now the Chapter 2 bonus is again asking for 142k chicken feed, but the count of what we donated is left over from what we put in during Chapter 1.  Is this right?  So are we going to be contributing to the exact same bonus in each chapter until we finish it before we get a different bonus request?  Not sure if this is by design or a bug.  Thanks

    Well they did something good which is why you are confused and I give them brownie points for this as this is most welcome.

    @vtkady (US1) I think you may have already answered your own question.
     It would make sense that your co op would have to finish the co op challenge part that your co op could not finish first before moving on.
     I suggest that if your group can work together well enough your co op challenge should be do able. Remember your co op has more time, the correct amount, for this and the rest of the chapters left in the event. 4 full days each.
    Plan on Chapter 3 to start Dec 17 midnight EST.
    The last Chapter, Chapter 5 will have extra time added to the end of it to help compensate for the short first day of the event. Plan on the event to end Dec. 31 around 4 to 6 pm EST. 
     You know just in time for Santa to deliver all those wonderful items we have been harvesting & donating for our lists.  :*

    I agree that it would be good if deliberate.  Do you know that this was deliberate and not a bug?

     :D   :D  No I do not know just as every one else that plays the game with the exception of maybe the developers & programmers.
    This is a new version of the SWL. So we really won't know for sure until it is all over and done with.
     Thankfully we have some awesome players here on the forum taking notes, so to be able to share when and if this event comes around again. Say next year.
    Maybe they can work it in so that Santa will be able to deliver all the gifts before Christmas Morning!
  • anyone know why I received the new carriage, the old one is still there, but even though both are now built nothing shows up in my decoration tower, level 35?  When the first was built it showed up and now nothing.
  • This same event next year? :s
    Please, I rather call out Christmas instead...

    All decorations of the same type only show up in the tower for the first build.
  • nothing shows up and I found out from Cuddly Foxes that this is a glitch with the deco tower that they are working on. I have played for quite a while to know only one will show.  Also if the "new" carriage is put in the storage box it has to be rebuilt when put back on the farm.
  • I'm quick to point out what I don't like and to criticize, but I am one player who is very happy with the individual rewards (mystery chests) in the co-op challenge.  Thank you for listening!

    Yep, the Co-op Village is going to add a WHOLE LOT more game to BigFarm.  Just the first two factories themselves will be quite a task.  And it looks like there's room for, what, seven more buildings?

    GGS have to fix the gold price for all ranks thats is the better idea but MB is also a good one

    Buddy have you done the test farm to really understand the work and cost of the village co op so far  not fun at all and I am still saying at this point it is a red herring.
  •  I was wondering if any of the chrismtas deco's village happiess is 0 can we still upgrade it through Greta?
  • rsny (US1)rsny (US1) US1 Posts: 2,294
    That was answered somewhere earlier but I can't find the post.
      The answer is yes if it is the same as on the test server.  When you upgrade a higher qaulity deco on your one of your main farms the happines points for the co-op village is added at the same time.

    To the best of my knowledge.

    Yes.  And with just a small co-op (really only three active members, though we had to recruit five to qualify for some upgrade or another) we were able to upgrade both factories at least twice (we might have done the Textile factory 3 times) and then work with them enough to see what it took and develop strategies for dealing with the crop penalty for edge crops.  We used virtually no gold and no exorbitant amounts of money getting this done.  Found out that growing edge crops would sustain your village dollars without needing the bank if you sold them for Village dollars instead of farm dollars.  Figured out how to focus production to get the rare building materials (sand mostly) to upgrade the factories.  Saw that the factory products, while not great money makers at those low levels, were at least a solid profit.  And got to experience the short taste of the Co-op Hill ongoing event they let us have in the last day or two.

    And we did all that with FAR smaller farms than we have here on the live servers.

    Was it fun?  Sure.  Fun enough.  Of course, we all have our favorites and you know that some people will love it, other's will leave it completely alone.  But I think that once it's explained ('cause it's just about a whole new game in itself) most players will be glad it's there.

    Buddy we had a terrible time with the bug affecting the game with the edge plants  which was a real wet blanket, yes I agree it is a game within the game like the horses but the horses dont take the amt of work that the village does for sure. I think it will be easier with big co op and our bigger farms and I hope to grow to like it better than I do now. I had high hopes for that village and always when you have expectations your sure to be disappointed. Hope that changes but not holding my breath.

    Another thing with Vilage is that it¨s not finished yet and nobody has figured out if it is of any good, meaning if and what for we should want to do that. So far it looks like a lot of investment which slows down our normal production on to

    I like the sound of that. :) Thanks @buddy194 (US1).  It's all still ahead of me but good to read some good report from someone who experimented already. I just chedked the basics on test. Couldn't have done much more in coop of 1 active + 3 dead. :)

    In gold box people getting huge amount of seeds , no gold seeds or gml they are getting 
    :(
    NICE move by ggs  to make a mystery box thats gives 10% gold and 90% seeds and told everyone gold is back.
    Why not fixed gold seeds for each rank in cc or gml whatever u want so that all people get gold .
    Only 1 gold MB is there and  giving seeds in that show how ggs trying to fool us

    there is no difference in silver and golden mb. only one or two lucky persons out of 10 getting gold seeds and gml.
    GGS please make sure u give us fixed rewards as ashim told rather than this like it was earlier.happy with the bronze and rookie mbs but gold and silver mbs disppointed:(((

    I know what you mean!  I'm surprised you were able to figure out anything at all!  We spent a lot of time just trying to figure out HOW things worked - much less what we were supposed to DO with them.  And having the bad reporting on countdown times, amount of production you were actually getting, etc., made things doubly confusing.  :smile:

  • Can someone tell me were I can find Holiday Money. I created it. For some reason I can't find it at all.

    A couple of quick questions this "Holiday Money" is this a co op or a player??
    Which server do you believe it is on??

    @WascallyWabbit @Rowdy Rac @CuddlyFoxes (sorry for calling all your names)
    Could you please clarify these questions about the rewards? Very much appreciated.

    In my coop we are arguing about what the rewards to choose from actually are.

    -mystery box: which type? Normal, or the new type? if the new type which type? rockie/bronze/silver or gold

    - Boosters: i believe that the 86400 means the time the booster is active, probably in seconds (aka 1day). Some people believe that it is the amount of horseshoes/xp gotten. What is the case?
    Edit: and I assume that if the boosters are indeed time active, the time countdown will just start right away in the moment we select the booster as the price?

    If in my coop is not clear i believe than for many players this is not clear either. We need an answer before the end of the cc so that we can consciously choose the reward.

    Thank you very much :).

    When I placed carriage 2 it shows wrong Quality 1 should be 2 and no happiness. Also our co-op village happiness shows as a -2 for building instead of +2 happiness. Unable to take pictures because it only shows when you put the mouse over it.

    I don't understand Santa's Wish List - received 2 carriage 1 from first chapter - only received 1 in chapter & finished both cooperative & personal quest. Really don't understand how the rewards work & how much you have to finish to get decorations & the values on each are even worse because they don't match what you earn. This seems to be a waste.
  • ;) This has been discussed on the Christmas event thread.  If you read there it might help you.  Also the values etc are all fouled up and it is being worked on.
