Books

Please stop with just the temporary farm books on special. I would buy books for the regular farms, but not the temporary ones. I'd appreciate it if you could put them back in the rotation. Thanks.

    They are in rotation but you also have to remember how many books there are available. So it may take a while for the 1 you are looking for to come on sale. Hang in there it will come around ;)
  • All I get are the books on the islands. If I upgrade a house or field then I get those books. Funny after the fact but never before I start a build. Worthless then.

    @Farmer Kissy (US1) hmm, I am a bit confused. What do the books have to do with upgrading a house? A field, maybe you can get a corn or cabbage, etc. But a house? Not sure what you mean.
  • @holidayrox I can assure you those exist. When you upgrade one of the fields, houses, or barns purchased with gold you get an offer that looks like the books for 10% off, Of course it only lasts 30 minutes and only comes up when you upgrade something, so it's useless usually. Sometimes you can save enough to make golding the completion of a level worth it, but sometimes it's causing you to spend extra gold to use the discount.

    okay, I was thinking you were talking about reduced offers on LIBRARY books. And, since I don't purchase the gold buildings, haven't seen those other offers. Thank you for clarifying. :smiley:

    I am talking about both the books and the buildings.

    @Farmer Kissy (US1) I agree mostly they are a pain, but with some planning they can be great. The last upgrade on a blue house is 29,000, so if you build a new one for 250 gold (takes 7 mins) after 5 mins you get the offer, when the new house is done, start your upgrade & save 2900-250. If you also time it so that you then get your 50th construction coin, you can start another one in the other slot & save another 2900 & if you are really lucky you have a prime spending running too. lol  But to get the most from them, all the stars do have to align, including Steve being there. Even for a single upgrade that doesn`t need Steve, using a new level 1 house for 250 to get the offer, is often cheaper than using a speedup on one upgrade to get the discount on a 2nd one. I usually just pick up a deco to build the house & demolish it after.
  • @RunsWivScissors (GB1) Nice tip. I need Steve for the barn and then the second barn would prompt the upgrade, but I'm not sure I'm buying gold anymore so it may stay as is, which is still better than the red barn.

    Just wondering, how do you receive the discount? I have two level 3 spacious barns that I would like to upgrade to higher levels, but I have never received the discount from any previous upgrades.

    @ninjahuman (AU1) The pop-up offer appears 5 minutes after the 1st upgrade starts & lasts for 30 minutes, so if you have both building slots available, you should be able to get 10% off the 2nd barn upgrade, without needing to do a speedup.

    Okay thanks, that will help with the upgrade cost. It's very strange that I haven't had that offer when I built and upgraded them previously though. I'm also wondering, does the offer end when I begin a 2nd upgrade before the 30 minutes end or can I use it as many times during the 30 minutes as I would like to?

    I have a barn with 7 and 8 lvl I haven't seen any offers like that or some players got this kind of things only

    from what i understood it appears in very specific time.. could you be logged out/away from comp, giving the building its time to finish?- and therefore missed it?

    It comes in looking like a book offer. Next time you upgrade click the book and see if it's there about 5 minutes after you start.
    What I would do is start one barn while I had the construction coins and then use them to upgrade the other with the discount.
  • They look like this:

    Thanks for the information everyone, it's very strange that I didn't receive the offer when I built and upgraded my spacious barns previously though.

    I just upgraded both of my spacious barns to level 6 and I never received a discount offer for any upgrade.

    Not sure what to tell you. I warned you that this game is not stacked fairly when it comes to gold. I need to upgrade one of mine in a few days when the current 80 hour build is finished and I'll let you know what happens.

    Where are the books you purchase located? I have bought some on sale weeks ago and am not able to find them.

    They are located in the library on the main farm.

    The library has a different appearance depending on how many books and levels you have purchased, but this is the location of the building:

    Thank you @ninjaninjahuman (AU1)". Plus when you click on that Library building, it opens up to show you how many of what kind of books you have purchased.  The tabs for the different farms are at the top. Clicking on those will show you what you have bought there and what is available.
