Do a recruitments research. Here is a tutorial: https://bigfarmtips.wordpress.com/2013/11/20/how-to-add-more-than-5-members/
it has been this way for about a month or so..
Any help would be appreciated!;)
If you hover over the trophies, what does it say? The level will increase with an x amount of times you successfully completed the project. The trophies will tell you x/x successes till the next ability. Whenever you reach that amount they will level up. Did you reach that with any of the projects yet? If you do different projects every time over a month it is possible that you did not reach this yet.
Unlocking more research and projects. The projects are good for levelling up even more and unlocking more research. The research helps expand the co-op, but the most interesting part of research is that you can research farm products and all members in the co-op will then get more money for the products you researched when they sell them. For example Healthier Pigs level 1, normally you get 5 dollars per pig and after you did that research you get 6 dollars per pig.
The dollar option of that column: This shows how many dollars each member has contributed. It is the sum of all money that has been donated into the co-op accounts and all the money paid for signing up as a research by that particular member.
The gold option of that column: Same as the dollars, but then of course about the gold they contributed. Also skipping research with gold counts in the sum of this.
Project activity: The shovels represent the average activity over 5 projects, counting in the 4 best projects the heaviest, and of those the last project also the heaviest. The data will only show after the member has been there in 2 full projects, but will not be accurate until 5 projects have been done. Besides taking into account the amount the member has produced, it also counts his level and some other secret factors GGS does not want to tell us about.
The only way to get it back is to ask the current leader to give it back, unfortunately. I really hope he will give it back to you if you explain what happened.
Thanks for your explanation, but the post you are answering to has already been posted in August 2013 (a year ago). I think ShanHa has her answer by now
I can no longer use the scroll wheel to scroll to the second page of my coops members list. Is it just me or is it an update change. It was a lot easier than using the scroll buttons on the side. Thanks!
I never use the scroll button for that, but I think it is a bug. They did not mention anything about it in the update patch notes.
Do you have any advice on recruiting members? I've sent out about 50 messages to people who (in game) are looking for a co-op, yet I've only managed to recruit three new members in the past two months. I'd like to build up my co-op membership so that projects and research will be easier, but I don't want to be a revolving door, so I've been following your tip about sending an app and requiring a reply. Why do so many people ignore that?
Select the amount, then type the amount you want to donate. You can also use the plus and minus sign, but if you want to donate much more than 500 that takes a very long time clicking.
This is so true. Also there are so many cooperatives the demand for new members is at an all time high.
That should not be normal. I haven't ever seen that. I have heard of mystery persons joining the co-op, but usually that was a long forgotten invite somebody ever made and which never got accepted until then. I have not heard of any applicants automatically joining the co-op after a couple of days without anybody accepting them in. It may be a bug; if it happens to more people the technical problems forum will have threads about the issue.
Click on the member you want to make leader, use the drop down in the menu that pops up when you click them and choose to make them leader. Make sure you actually want to give it away, as there is no other way to get it back than to hope the new leader will give it back to you should you change your mind. Also, there is only one founder of the co-op and that is the person that left. Nobody else will ever be founder except for that person if he ever returns. Anybody can be leader though.
The system does that, based on 5 past projects, averaging them with different weightings according to a difficult formula. It takes into account the level of the player, the amount they contributed to a project and calculates with the best 4 projects they participated in, the latest one weighing the heaviest. And then there are some unknown factors to the formula. The outcome of the calculations will determine how many shovels the player gets and the player with the best results will also get the golden shovel. It is possible to have a tie amongst several players, in that case they all get a golden shovel. After each project the outcomes are re-calculated.
So what's the padlock about?
Thats something that was only added recently, here is the announcement for it. It basically allows a coop to have an open-door setting, so that anyone can join without applying or being invited. ^^
