We want (you) to talk about the handbooks - Survey

Hi all,

following this weeks announcement on the changes of the handbook boosters we would like you to take a survey for us, so we can determine what the normal production buildings setups are and adapt the handbooks accordingly. Further details can be found in the survey.
Please make sure to answer all given questions and to submit your answers. 

Find the survey here.

Comments

  • We would like to share the survey results with you and give you a little overview. Check it out below.

    Let's start with the cowsheds:

    Which cow feed do you normally use?


    Do you use handbooks for your cow shed (which boosts your commonly used feed)?


    Which stage of handbook (which boosts your commonly used feed) do you use?


    Do you use "powerhouse"(farm machine) for your cow sheds on a regular basis?


    Which recipe of "powerhouse"(farm machine)do you use?


    Do you have a treat on your cow shed on a regular basis?




    And continue with fields:

    Which type of seeds do you normally use?


    Do you use handbooks to boost your field products?


    Which stage of handbook do you use?


    Do you use humus on your fields on a regular basis?


    Which humus do you normally use?


    Do you use "humus pro"(farm machine) for your humus?


    Which recipe of "humus pro"(farm machine) do you use?


    Do you have treats on your field on a regular basis?






    We hope this little insight was interesting to you. Our team will continue working on this topic and will provide a suitable addition of the handbook amounts.

    Your Big Farm Team

    @didah (SKN1) It was a global survey, posted in all BF communities & there was approx 600 entries.
  • I'm still not understanding where these 'Stage 8 & 9' handbooks come from?
    Level 7 Mayan handbook is the highest I've ever been offered.

    Any new boosters or bonus yields should be on top of the books IMO
  • So we have some pretty pie charts to look at - and yes they are quite interesting, but perhaps a more burning question is how long is it going to take them to fix the order of boosters?  And when they do, how many bugs are going to be there?  Are we looking at a week, a month, 3 months?  any random time in that scale?  
  • also the pie charts are fairly useless without being broken into representations of level brackets.

    @Sheila NOLA Gal (US1)  I don't have any myself, but my guess would be that they appear as you buy each one, so when you buy level 7, level 8 becomes available - The person who would know for sure, was not at work on Friday, so if no one else has posted by Monday to confirm it, I will find out for you then.

    @Data King (US1) @AmazingMurphy (GB1) We also thought that just moving the books would be the easiest fix, but it turns out that that wouldn't work with some future booster plans that they have, which is what led to them needing to get the booster order consistent, throughout the game, in the first place, so increasing the value of the books instead, will hopefully get things back how they were before.

    @Southern (US1) You & me both,  whatever they are cooking up, it better be worth all this confusion, personally I could live with a bit of inconsistency, it makes life interesting hehe :smile:



  • Does the level 7 guy still show up?  I have been looking for moths and haven't seen it.  Does this guy still come?  Is there any way to make him visit more frequently like the Architect?

    Per Wascally Wabbit, 25th Oct. in 'The Library' topic:

    "Good news is that he is going to be fixed, though it would probably be regarded as a bit insensitive for him to visit just at the moment, as there is considerable upset over handbooks, so he is unlikely to return before that is resolved."

  • Thanks Sheila...

    WHY WAIT???

    Existing users have level 7 (possibly higher) handbooks, why can't I buy mine now?  It's all the same in the end!  But at the moment those who have above level 6 now have an advantage over others who don't.

    So get the guy out there NOW, and whatever changes you 'FIX' can be done whenever you guys get around to it.

    @Magnetix (US1) Unfortunately it is him that needs fixing :/  He did make an appearance at the weekend, but it was soon clear that he is still broken & he was recalled after an hour or so, I will try to find out if anyone knows when we can expect to see him repaired.


    EDIT: The current plan is fix him in the upcoming update & he should then appear shortly after that.
