Tools

Am I losing my mind?  It now takes more tools than usual to activate production machines every time?  Why??

    Just the new ones will take a couple of more tool boxes which is one of the reasons why they increased the amount of tool boxes we could have on hand.

    It does take a lot for 3rd option of stackmaster: 6 toolboxes per use.

    I would love to see an increase in toolbox drops; that way continued use of old machines, in addition to the use of new machines, balances out. Having more storage for toolboxes is great, we just need those extra toolboxes you want to give us to fill that storage out ;)

    Yes, Please consider increasing the drop rate of tool boxes.  I really like the new machines....it's just we need a few more tool boxes to drop to utilize the new tractors as well as the previous tractors.
  • I like the rate at which tools drop, this way you have got to evaluate the way you use them.  This is a strategy game so everything should not be easy

    Have to agree with byron, drop rates are not random....its a set number on my farm.

    Strategy schamtegy.  Yes, strategy is an important component of the game.  But if the game changes, requiring an increased number of items that require tools, it's only logical to assume that the drop rate should increase by the same percentage.  Just sayin'.

    yeah and favorite offers to buy tools knew this was coming how predictable ggs are and by the looks of things they have nerved them so you dont find as many.

    I for 1 am getting plenty of tools, I already got both hovercraft and amphibian upgraded to level 7.  With no gold

    Tool drops are also similar on my farm to what they were before the update.One drops at a set number somewhere between 55 and 60 stable collects. Not sure if its the same for all farms or if this rate is level based.

    I am very much against an increase in the drop rate because I want this game to remain challenging (within reason of course). If everything was handed to us then whats the point of even playing the game? Everyone would have all machines built in a short period of time then probably complain about lack of new features in the game and want even more. Who continues playing a game that they have clocked (completed fully) as frequently as they were before it was completed? Boredom can set in very quickly at that point......just my opinion

    Hello, fairly new here. Did anyone figure out how to get more tools? I only have 2 machines built, and many on deck.  I play as many challenges as possible for certificates.  I get the difficulty could increase as you go.  To play a game, I wont pay any more money for fake gold, to buy things like tools.
    i have plenty of game money -

    No easy way I know of  :¬(   The more you farm, the more tools you get.
    Mill, silo and composter are the best sources and running them at max number of batches is reckoned to be best.  (ie 10 runs at 10 bags a time will get fewer tools than 1 run for 100 bags)

    Collect chicken coops and cowsheds often other than doing what John said :smile:
    Chicken coops give u the most amount of tools .
