  • (..) If is bigger than a 5 X 5 deco (..)
    The announcement says 5x5 for each lab ;)
    Thanks I probably should have read it twice.

    Is there going to be a cap on how much premium feed we can have in storage?
    Unless they change it, there's currently no cap (as far as I know) on the premium feeds. I currently have more premium chick feed than my barns can hold. ;)

    I see an advantage in that we now have effectively DOUBLE space for each feed, since we can have two lots - regular and premium, similar to converting standard humus to premium with the farm machine.

    Does this mean there will now be a new super premium or some such that can be bought for gold?


  • If I have just one lab on flower farm for example, will I be able to produce premium chicken and other feed in it, or just fertilizers? In other words, is lab a must have on main farm, because i dont know where could i put it there unless they shrink it to a 2x2 size

    Other thinking of a simple mind like me. No production costs?? 
    Lets take the Humuspro machine as example. To make premiumhumus you need normaal humus.The normal humus has a price to make,then activate the Humuspro machine and pay again(certificates).
    Change the payment in Farmdollars or Gold and it is normal you don,t have any productioncosts because you already payed 2 times for it.
    Nice thinking,that means in the supermarket you have the Special offer of the Day.
    Buy 1 product and pay the double price of that amount,But you get a plastic or paper bag for free

    Love the new splash screen when the game is loading.  

    Edit: No good deed (compliment) goes unpunished.  Game lost connection and now I can't get back in. :(

    Oh, and thanks for the clarification, Latten, that having 3 labs means you can make 3 different items at the same time, not just one.

    OK, Timo we will start to produce the feed in the new Farm Laboratory.

    But where is on UK servers?

    On my all 3 farms I can't see anything to look like this.

    Thank you.

    It should be under "special buildings" :)

    There will be a short downtime in a few minutes, some servers seem to have problems with account creation and that needs to be fixed.
  • The idea is great BUT this is designed for only the richest players. over 27,000,000 farm dollars to get from Level 6 to Level 7 Lab. Each lvl unlocks a new premium thing. L1 Chicken feed, L2 Pig feed, L3 Cow feed, L4 Goat feed L5 Donkey Feed and L6 Fertiliser. Cant afford to go higher at the moment

    That tab when you upgrade a building looks like a paint can. Maybe we can change the color of the buoilding when we upgrade? I was hoping we would have the option to downgrade but...?
  • Hey Everyone :)


      Had anyone observed that Farm Laboratory can be upgraded to level 100,but the look of level 1 and level 100 building is still same.Is this a bug or really you can upgrade it to level 100?
  • Rusty Farmer (AU1)Rusty Farmer (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,705
    Not a bug, the building looks the same, they already told us. :)
  • it takes a lot of cash to level up the laboratory, can't it be decreased?

    Thanks, a question - since we can build it on any farm, can we still produce items for another farm - e.g. if I build it on the flower farm, can I make premium chicken and duck feed still to be used on the other two farms?

    Like the idea of multi-upgrades at the same time - does this apply to houses also?

    You can build the lab on multiple farms, and use each one to produce items from the recipes you have unlocked. Just to be clear, you CAN produce different items in the labs at the same time.

    Insane amounts.  Level 3 is 2,073,000 or 1,390 gold.  Can you imagine the top levels?

    Update: One info wasn't quite right: It is absolutely possible to produce different products on each farm's laboratory - you are not bound into one production for all farms. Sorry for the mistake.

    Thanks for the info, thats an important change  :o

    Another thing, I assume with the new upgrade-info-tab, the upgrade-button itself in the ring menu will from now on always remain green, whether one can currently upgrade or not?

    edit: lvl4 lab is 4.589.000dollars ;) Glad i didn't start the island farm this time around :D But I wont complain, really glad there is a dollar option for all upgrades, no matter how high!

    What is "the lab"?

  • Oh, and thanks for the clarification, Latten, that having 3 labs means you can make 3 different items at the same time, not just one. 
    Where did you read that? Cause I interpret this differently:
    Yes, exactly You can increase the amount of one product by having multiple laboratories, comparable to leveling up the windmill, for example. You can not, however, produce different things on multiple farms at the same time.

    To me it says that you CANNOT produce 3 different items, but only 1 item with a higher amount.....

    From the update to the update. :)

    the Lab can be found with the special buildings in the build section.

    Other than to make two different products at one time, why do we need one on two different farms?
  • Just tried the new laboratory and I love it. It counts towards collectables even if it's not on the main farm. Comes handy in the Asia event. However it doesn't count towards feed in feed mission.

    Piggoink- Look at the Official Announcement which gives you the details of the new Farm Labs:

    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/us/discussion/123001/update-12-04-16-the-farm-lab#latest

    You can also keep up with the discussions on the EN sever as well as the US server as players are posting their thought/questions/suggestion/observations about the new Farm Lab.


  • Can not find new lab, help

    It will be found on the last tab of your building menu called Special Buildings. Happy researching!

    "Additionally, the new upgrade screen will allow you to upgrade a building multiple times in one step (if the requirements allow you to), without the need of having enough workers for every single step. Even if your worker count isn't high enough, you can still upgrade, and you will only be asked for all combined workers once you want to actually use the upgraded building. "

    I'm not seeing this function working, unless I'm mistaken that it can work on the temp island farm. Is this multiple upgrade feature only available to the main farms?

    I like it but to make full use of options available at the moment need level 10, my level is 4 next level almost 9M so if doubles each level (it seems to ) going  to need a billion or more to get to level 100 for that I would want it to turn lead into gold  :)
  • CM PopeyeCM Popeye Posts: 535
    Hey @jules314 (US1) We have had a few say this does not work on temp islands, and we have the bug team investigating.

    @Lesley52 (GB1)  They do get pretty high, did mine up to level 10 & I think the last 2 were 108 million & 146 million ... Now Greta has some competition for stealing all my monies lol

    The other shock was how long it takes to make max load of premium honeydew... 60 hours! eeps!  Looking ahead at some of the recipes to come, I see we will be able to make seaweed products at some point, so thats pretty cool. :)
