If you are unable to maintain it, something needs to give to keep it running on your side....
As for the lab being out of date, it is upgradeable... it just makes additional items with the various upgrades rather than upgrading producing certain products like the windmill etc. Possibly a rework of the lab could be done, but I hesitate with that thought... you never know what could happen if GGS did rework it!!
I do agree catalyzer rewards/drops could be better for those that have upgraded the lab to use them.
I have 3 production farms and my 3 labs keep up with my production just fine because the labs run 24/7. It can be done with 3 labs, but it's up to you to keep it going. I do have to keep my FF lab making honeydew 24/7 to keep up with my apiarys but that's my doing because I'm so greedy.
Hopefully they will let us build another lab on the volcanic farm, whenever that makes it's way to the game.
I am not telling you to change the way you farm, so don't tell me. I am stating facts that can't be argued with.
That was the statement
You are all arguing if you need more or not as every farm is set up different for different ways of farming and that is your choice. It is NOT the discussion,
THE LABORATORY IS OUT OF DATE and anyone that knows anything about maths and numbers can see these FACTS
our farms when laboratory was introduced we had 16 blocks of land available to buy farm (MF and GF) were 4x4 blocks (hard to believe hey and when a level 100 player was huge) then an extra row was added to each side then another, now making it 6x6, so we have gone from 16 block to 36 blocks of land and NO change to Labs, these are the facts.
also, here is a partial quote from you "...there is no way 3 labs can keep up with my farm...."
What I am saying is that it is possible. That is all.
After taking another look I noticed you asked if they would increase the amount of feed and fertilizer we get at each harvest. I do agree that would be a great upgrade, but allowing us to have more than one lab on each farm is not gonna work for manny of us, we just can't spare the room. I have accepted the lab as it is. Just like the tower and the workshop, one on each farm with no more upgrades after all this time.
But as i said you don't have to build another labs if the CHOICE was given to you, but the fact is it is out of date... FACT
I would prefer they increase the output of the labs now, but easy way for GGS is to increase the number allowed to bring up to date.
3 years ago,
mill could make with ALL books 10+5 in 80 secs Mill use to be only to level 6 MAX books max was level 5 and only +5
Now
all books 10+11 in 55 sec now 22 in 55 sec compared to 15 in 80 secs, Mill now goes to 9 MAX books now go to 6 and have been upgraded as well
so per minute for both 15/80x60 = 11.25 per minute 3 years ago,
compared to 22/55x60= 24 per minute
so now the mill can produce way more than 2 times faster than it use to when laboratory was brought in, if you want I can do numbers on every other production on mill, they will ALL give same result
You just wanted me to do the numbers for you I know.
The analysis that would be most important is mill output to the lab output to produce what you would need.
3 years ago to now as you put it really means little to me.
Today my mill produces 576 chicken feed in 29 mins +secs... my lab produces 250 premium chicken feed in 11 mins +sec.... so I can make more premium chicken feed in the same time as it takes to produce the regular feed just about. Along with I have to maintain my corn inventory to produce both...
Those are the numbers I would need to see what makes sense... a second lab would eat up your reg. chicken feed and corn in a hurry LOL and not be able to keep up. Show me where I am wrong.
yes, I know you would be rotating product obviously to be able to maintain any production..
2 ways to fix is x2 the output rate in same time OR allow 2 labs per farm, this will bring up to date with what has happened on our farms in 3 years.
If they x2 the production would mean for a level 10 lab,for chicken feed, it would take 50 chicken feed and make it 50 premium feed in 1 min 10 secs. Which would actually not be that hard for GGS to do but if TOO hard for them to do that allow 2nd lab
so maybe what GGS needs to do is have 2 different "Labs"... one for farm basic needs and one for specialty items...
Nowadays, when we ask for something new, or something out of necessity, GGS will probably ask themselves: How can we (GGS) profit from what they're asking. Shall we make the upgrade levels of the laboratory above level 40 gold-exclusive upgrades (must pay gold only to upgrade / farm dollars not an option.) Hmmm
This reminds me of what another player once told me before: Careful what you wish for.
EDIT: Or possibly add a GOLD option to use the laboratory, similar to how you can pay Oleg dollars to catch bass fish, or pay Oleg GOLD to catch bass fish resulting in more bass fish caught.... hmmmm
Yes, that would be a nice solution... after every 2~3 upgrades, the output units increases a few %.
