Research

Two Co-Op members inadvertently signed up for two different research projects while one research project is going thru its waiting period. I asked them to take back their research but was informed they are unable to do so. Why is that? Will they be able to do so when the original research is completed and started? Thanks in advance for any help u can offer!

    They probably paid for it with gold. Can you check whether their researchers have a green or blue outline? Blue means gold and gold can never be refunded :( Green means dollars and you should be able to take those back at any time.

    One researcher is green in one of the research areas which is good!! The other is blue..not so good!. Now I see that all the researchers have the" buy with gold icon under each available researcher": does that mean that everyone now has to use gold to sign up for the research or will the rest of us be given the option to use farm cash when the ON-GOING research is finally timed out and complete

    You can be in 1 research at a time with 1 dollar researcher. That means if somebody already signed up for dollars he cannot sign up until the takes it back out or the research has completed. You can sign up with gold for as many times as you want.

    See it as being able to be only in one spot at a time yourself, that is why you can only 'work on' one research at a time and thus sign up personally only once (with dollars). But you can hire more people, paying gold, which would be external professionals that you hire to help out :) And of course when you are done working on this research you can start the next one and therefore sign up once again.

    I hope that made sense XD

    I had a member that signed up for five gold researchers and one dollar researcher at once. He just kept buying researchers, even though I kept messaging him to stop and save his gold for something good on his farm. Oh well. But anyway, he was still free to spend dollars on researchers anywhere. If you try to buy more than one with dollars, I think the researcher just moves. There's no locking.

    I do need to set a little bit straight here, sorry. The researcher does not move. If you try to sign up for dollars twice, you are just not able to. All dollar buttons will be gone until the former research completes or you take your researcher out (when it is not running yet) - at that moment they become available again. The only thing you see is gold gold gold buttons when you have already signed up for dollars. XD

    Oops. Couldn't remember. You still can't be locked out of getting a researcher for anything though. Well, I can't remember what happens while the research is going on...I think that blocks you. But without any research, you're not locked out of anything permanently. I know that.

    You can always pay with gold, indeed. The option to buy extra researchers with gold is open before, during and after a research is running XD The only thing is that the dollar option disappears when you have already used it and the research isn't done yet.

    Sorry, I meant just the dollar option. Yeah, the gold option is always open.

    Here :D No dollar options as you can see. This is what I see for any research in my co-op now because another research is running. If I wouldn't have signed up for that research, though, I would be able to see the dollar option now :) But I did - so I am participating - so it will take a while before I get a dollar option again (namely until that research is done) ^^

    Yeah, because your dollar-option researcher is still there, but he's locked in an active research now. I get it.
