When does the aquisition of shovels show for new members
Any info is appreciated. thanks!!
Comments
What the shovels actually show is the player's performance over the last 5 projects, so the shovels aren't really an accurate representation until they've completed at least 5 projects. Could be a bug, but it's the first I've heard of it.
We - at our coop - do consider 2 red shovels as "has taken part in coop-project" and 3 red shovels are considered as "did the best he/she could"....
We do consider this shovel-system as a nice way to follow somewhat the contribution of all members towards our coop projects - but we certainly do not take this system too seriously, and will never punish someone based on their amount of shovels.
Hope this helps ...... ^^
Edit: FarmerJohn beat me to it!!
ex. my co op as many players with 10 apples, 10 cows, 10 chickens, and 10 ducks and do those projects all the time so I can never get 4 or 5 shovels because I don't have that many and refuse to use gold.
An aside to rocnrobn: we are not in competition with each other and we too are of different levels-- we each do what we can, some more, some less as, is to be expected-- the indication of shovels is like a feedback mechanism and now we know the answer to the question!!!
Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to answer!!! HAPPY FARMING!!

The co-ops for both my farms have lower level players and high level players with production/factory farms. I do the best I can do with my regular, run-of-the-mill type farm. I normally have between 2-4 shovels. One of the co-ops is international. We can start egg scramble or movie experience when I'm logging off for the night, and it is done when I get online again. Drops my shovels down a bit but so what. I do the next one while they're asleep and it goes right back up.
It should not be used as an indicator of who does what and whether they should be kicked out of the co-op, IMO. Unless you know someone is on their farm for long periods and has no shovels constantly...then there may be a concern.
The thing about the gold at leveling up is, it is added to your total before you ever get the notice that you've gone up a level. If you are very close to leveling up, note the amount of gold you have. After you level up...you will see the difference.
