Number of XPs

I play solo. With my level 8 Shop on the Flower Farm I get 45 xps each time I make Honey Cream.

A few friends of mine, who play in coop, say they are getting 52 xps each time they make it.
We all have the same shop level.

I did not think that research done affected the number of xps received, but only the dollar amount for the goods. Does it affect the xps? If so, it should be made clear.

Are there any other goods that are affected this way? Is it the same thing with the bakery products?

I understand that by playing solo, I will not get the full $$$ for my products, and I accept that, but am I also penalized regarding XPs? That does not seem fair.

    I have level 7 shop, and i get 46 XP. When i upgrade, i'm gonna have 52, like your friends. I think the reason is researches co'op has done.

    There is no reasearch to increase XP. I have a Level 8 shop & I`m in a coop, I get 52 XP for Honeycream.
    Do you have a pic of your product info for Honeycream & does it look the same as mine? (below)

    That was what I thought too about the research.

    I rejoined my home base coop (I am a traveller) to test this, and instantly, the number of XPs I am getting for Shop AND bakery products have increased. I am now getting those 52 XPs for cream. Hopping in and out of the coop increases or reduces them right away.

    Also checked with a friend in a coop but where no flower farm research is done yet, and they are getting the low number of XPs.

    So it seems to me that it is not due to the fact of in or out of coop, but that research does in fact affect the number of XPs you are getting for your work, even though it is not mentioned anywhere. I was certainly not aware of that.

    So, not only solo players are affected, but also players in coop with unfinished research. They get less XPs for their work. This does not look fair to me.

    Could a MOD confirm that research is in fact the reason and if so, I would suggest that the fact that research increases $$$ value of products AND XPs is clearly mentioned in those research panels.

    Hope to get an answer on that. Thank you.

    I am in the same co-op as the OP, with all research completed. Here's a screenshot of the information on my Flower Shop, clearly showing 52 XP for Honey Cream:

    Then I left the co-op briefly and took another screenshot of the Flower Shop info. Look at the XP for Honey Cream here:

    As you can see, the XP for both Honey Cream and Soaps is less out of the co-op. I didn't check the other products but would guess they probably show a similar difference.

    Another question: Both examples are Shop Level 8 so why does...
    Scissors shows a product count of Honey Cream: 434 Soap: 31
    Pingo shows count as Honey Cream 431 Soap 30 in or out of coop.

    Just checked my own and have at Shop level 8 Honey Cream 437 with 52 XP & Soap 29 with 5 XP.

    Why the different product count? Can't be player level as I am only at 87. Scissors & Pingo way above that.

    That I would guess would be the effect of library books.

    Hi Everyone,

    Thankyou for all the data that you have collected, I am as surprised as you to see that coop research appears to affect XP. I will pass it on to the team on Tuesday (after the holidays) & get you an explanation as soon as possible.


    Regards

    Hope GGS doesn't take "extra -XPs" away. I just think they might say it's a bug......

    Haha, Dara15, we won't (at least not for now).

    Flower shop research was indeed never intended to increase experience points to begin with. This bug only became apparent to us after the flower shop rework to drop goods instead of cash.

    We noticed the error, but decided against removing the XP bonus from these researches in your favor.

    Cheers,
    Steffi

    Anyone remember what the Exp reward was BEFORE the rework? As I recall it was supposed to be unchanged. Just the Product vs dollars. My guess is its the same, as there was not huge outcry... which makes me think maybe the non-coop players are getting shorted vis-a-vis the old vs new exp? I really don't recall though.
