Does the architect have a time he arrives or is it a random time?

    No, he has no regular timetable

    Larino's Corner has a list of when he has come so far. With a few hints to try and second guess his leaving

    Chances are pretty good that he'll come sometime in the next week. :)

    Look out for Monica in her darkblue sedan with her trade sale!! When she arrives, one can assume that Steve Srewdriver will come soon (1-2 days later)!
    Not always, but most of the time...

    Monica showed up and it has been 2 weeks since Steve made his last appearance... hoping he comes soon!! I have put building on hold because I always seem to be building an all day project when he shows up.

    That's good news for me. I'm locked into an upgrade over the next three and a half hours (originally eight hours) so I'm probably not going to be able to get more than one architect upgrade out of this visit. Again.

    I don't think he has, Ria. Usually his second visit is around this time until about 2 or 3 in the afternoon for me (it is now half past 11 in the morning. I think he should return after the update that is taking place atm.

    Here's what Nafaru had to say about the architect in another thread:

    He took a break because of the update, but he will return sooner or later.
    Of course I cannot tell you when exactly, but he's gonna be around another time this week. 8)

    So I hope he doesn't turn up just after I've just started another long upgrade! Maybe I'll while away the time till his return building the new decos. ;)

    Oh well, at least I can save up tons of money now.

    Good news! This means I should be able to upgrade both my fence and my gate this time. :)

    Good for you. I missed the stupid Architect completely, being locked into an eight hour upgrade.

    I'm just going to do the few build/upgrade projects I'd already planned, then stop building altogether until the architect comes back. Whatever I don't spend on him I can dump into expansions.

    Hey, what about me, I missed the 'stupid' architect completely because I was locked up in an 8 hour sleep! Only read about it in chat when I came online and was all like :'( when I heard he wasn't coming back today. :P

    Yeah, what's up with that? Oh well. At least we know he's coming this time.

    May I call it a 'screw up'? It's probably that ;) They had a problem before and the next week he was back for a short visit to make up for it :) You can see it in the post on our website.

    Oh, so then it's just update weirdness making the architect not work right? I can get that. I thought this was some kind of cutsie thing they decided to do because the update...Idk, deserved more player attention or something?

    Thanks, Larino.

    No I think something went wrong and they realized he was way too late to stick with his 'usual schedule' and decided it would be best to have him back later on a better schedule. The update did happen too late - it only came up past 11 AM CET/GMT +2, while it should have been between 9 and 11 CET. (No he does not have an actual schedule but he has some kind of behaviour, especially when he visits, he comes back twice at around certain times).

    Biggest thing to remember about the architect, know which buildings you want to use him on and have a way to finish construction early for him. I also make sure i keep enough cash or have a way to get enough cash needed to use him. I was able to come up with 4 million real quick and had enough gold to finish cowshed construction early to use himm

    Oh great, now the architect arrives. Just when I've started a house upgrade. I thought he wasn't supposed to be coming until next week!

    Yep, the same happened here, started to upgrade my apiary just 1 minute before the architect appeared. So must wait 7,5 hours and i am afraid he is then gone again.

    Yeah. Thankfully, he should come one more time after that. Hopefully it's while you're awake. It would be nice if GGS had told us the day since usually we get warning for the second and third visits.

    Urgh - the one day that I am gone for 7 hours, Archie pops up and leaves 10 mins before I come back home -.- Nice, great, love it...

    Yep, I did update apples, but I shouldn't have. It would have made more sense to me to stick to my original plan of updating flowershop as soon as possible (selling honey combs now.. I could be making soap).

    Where is the Architect's third visit? He seems to have disappeared again!

    The uncertainty around Steve's visits sure makes it difficult to plan. I hesitate to start a long upgrade because I don't want to miss out on his next return, but long upgrades are needed on my farm. I missed out on his first visit this time because I'd just started a 17-hour upgrade. What to do, what to do. It would certainly make life easier if we knew when he'd return, at least approximately. Oh well, I guess I'll do some short upgrades today in hopes that he'll be back again.
