Suggestion: More Than One Building Slot

Comments

  • If you could do multiple upgrades or quicker upgrades, GGS would not make any money from people using gold to speed them up.
    I get what you're saying, absolutely. But surely if enough people voice their displeasure (or can be bothered to), at this frustratingly time consuming part of the game then perhaps some sort of change would be considered?

    Please We Rely Rely Need to can Upgrade At lest 3 Things in same Time it takes Ages to do One Thing and Sometime Miss out or Loose on Mission Because Upgrades ...So Please let us Upgrade Moore Things in same Time so we Acctualy Can  have Fun with this Game instead of Being Annoyed to wait for Upgrades to Finish!!!!!  Thank you very Much in Advanced!!
    How long do you think the upgrades take for example the flowershop from level 7 to level 8?
    When you now are already annoyed i hold my heart for you in the future.
    This game is like a marathon and not a sprint. After 29 months i have now level 184 and still enjoy the game,specialy after the new update.We can make our farm even bigger,with even longer times to clear the undergrowt. 
    And i agree with RwS for 100%. The other options is buy a big bag of gold,then you can skip and push everthing. 
    But that takes the fun out of the game

    Endurance and patience that is the keyword in this game
  • Not everybody can afforde buy big bags gold to do that..

    Then do as the most people and build up your farm step by step.
    Besides howdo you like to pay for the upgrades when you have a small farm. (i don,t know your level)
    The game is so designed that you can keep on playing and upgrading in the beginning without going broke.
    Unless you start playing the island game at level 32 like i did 2 years ago.
    There are sources enouigh to find the prices of upgrades at a high level.
    Any idea where that amount of farmdollars have to come from??
    For example  upgrading a barn from level 4 to level 5 cost 3 million dollars and takes 16+ hours,but wait there are 2 barns. And there are not many level 45-50 players wich has 6 million farmdollars on their account

    But i guess this is not a good reason to you WHY we can only upgrade 1 thing at a time.
    In the past many,many players has brought this up on the forum. And still GGS hasn,t changed it,wich is in my opinion and many other players very good that GGS is not changing it.

    Step by Step that is how you learn to understand the game more and more

    Good luck and Happy Farming  
  • I am an old player of Big farm .. Upgrading has always been difficult for me i don't know about others.. there are 3 farms and we have only one construction slot to upgrade or build things and the buildings take so much time too at least separate slots for every farm like there will be 3 slots then one for main farm one for gourmet farm and one for flower farm o.o :D if its too much at least give 2 slots T_T would be easier for us to upgrade and build. 
  • I totally agree with above post,there should be at least one more slot,maybe you can bring that option that we can get extra slots on Rent by dollars,Anyway that is a great idea,I appreciate it :)

    I would also like to add my name in support of another building slot.   One that doesn't cost a mountain of gold to buy or disappears after 30 days.  Also buildings like the water tower where you can only build and upgrade with gold should be instant.  This is the only game I've played where real money does not bring an instant result.
  • one slot simply delays everything I vote for more slots or reduce construction time

    There are 2 building spots available if you wish to buy one so you can build/upgrade 2 things at once.
    This being a long term game the 1 building spot should be enough. It is part of the strategy of the game. it takes time to build up your farms. Rome was not built in a day :)

    Well people this is where GGS makes alot of gold and yes I am one of the ones who buy just for this reason gold to make things go faster I am not a patient person. I dont consider paying 56000 gold to have a second slot reasonable and is only good for 30 days.  I doubt that this will ever change  Heck they cant give us a cat you think they are going to lose potential gold.
  • LOL.. try is the key to success.. there wasn't a thread with this topic.. they might take action on it .. who knows? xD and i bet 85% of the people will vote for one more slot as all of them are not on forum but still my suggestion is considerable ..
  • Damaria3 (US1)Damaria3 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,737
    I understand what you are saying but lost count of how many times I have read about people wanting another building slot over and over again.
  • Rusty Farmer (AU1)Rusty Farmer (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,705
    More people might take up the offer for a second construction slot on the temp island if they didn't charge such a ludicrously high price for it. 56,000 gold is too much!. Maybe about a tenth of that and we might consider it.
  • Hi everybody! This game is one of the top of games that require strategy for a good play as far as I've seen playing for a week till the moment! I got annoyed too by this limit of building/upgrading only one building at once and I bet there are still thousands of players feeling same. I have some knowledge about IT and I understand that in large servers every single bit count for a good run of it so adding another 2-3 buildings to get upgrade same time to hundreds of thousands people ... this must be understood by all players which requested this add here and before.
    Moreover it is very clear that doing this improvement the result will be a huge decrease of gold bought so Goodgame Studious business will get no profit on this but a lose! I agree by not doing this improvement requested!
    But still there are too many players having this complain so it must not be ignored totally! If you GGS keep doing nothing on this issue you'll get also losing lot of players (and a good part of them will be good players otherwise but which has no power to buy so much gold to spend it on buildings) that become too bored seeing the huge time to wait for a build to get done and simply will leave the game to try another..
    I propose for another option that will be like a golden mean as way as to make happy all players while not reducing gold bought too much and using very low space on the server: and this will be a special add for skipping time that will cost dollars
    But for the gold market to rest untouched the rating for gold/dollars to spend it for a skip to be Gold1/Dollars100 for example or how much you think will be enough to really put a player to work for it and thinking then that is more easy to buy gold..
    I bet there will be lot of hard players choosing dollars instead gold but players which really has no power to buy gold too much and still they are playing as top players. So you will not lose the big gold market and same time will show respect for those players which deserve this!
    I hope my large comment to be appreciated and seen by who is in charge to bring all news to GGS
    Happy harvest to all good farmers!
  • Rusty Farmer (AU1)Rusty Farmer (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,705
    Good idea but I'm not sure GGS will bite.
  • Well I hate to be the one to bring this subject to the forefront again ... but in the near future we will be acquiring yet another permanent farm to add to the 3 we already have .... how is this going to affect our building times and functionality of the game .... I'm sure GGS has it all figured out ...but now we are expected to run 4 permenant and 1 temp farm from one building slot ..... looking forward to how they handle the overload ...

    Again sorry I am bringing this to the surface again ...but it is a legitamite concern ....


    Thank you for letting me bend your ear...and to all ...Happy New Year!!

    If they add a permanent second (or third counting the temp island one) building slot, then they will probably charge gold, maybe 56,000 gold per month though it would be nice to buy smaller time slots. Perhaps you get increasing returns the more you spend. I suggest they do something like this for each farm.

    They could also create building slot licences, much like we have gold mining licences. Each licence could be for (say) 24 hours which we could apply to the farm(s) of our choice when it suits us. Then we could win these building slot licences as rewards in event, challenges, mystery boxes etc, or pay for them.
  • I can understand that they will ask for gold ... and I think that's perfectly fine ... I'm not a gold buyer but I seem to be able to find and save it when really needed .... and I'm doing ok with how its working  now ... but ii do like the license idea ... I think if we, as a community, can come up with a plausible idea that works for both parties involved, then I think they would go for it ... but to run 4 main farms with one slot may prove to be a challenge to some ...so i think  some sort of solution may be required .... maybe even a" 2 slot 20th' ... every 20th of the month ..it automatically opens up that you can do two builds at the same time for a 24 hr period ... I don't know what the answer is but something may have to give for the not so strategic minded players ..

    Maybe now we are gonna get the 4th permanent farm they can add a second building slot.
    I really hope they willl do that.
    It doesnt' even have to be available for low level players. 
    If its available from level 100 thats fine for me (and I'm just level 64). 

  • Yes that sounds like a good idea but they have refused to do it in the past 
  • I'm happy they've finally given a 4th perm. farm we've been asking for over about 2 yrs.
  • A compromise. Have additional slots available, but have them work one after the other. As one is building you can set the next build to go right after the last one is finished as in some other games. If a temp farms leaves before the build finishes it cancels, that is if the build is on that temp farm.Maybe two additional slots, but not both bought with coins please, as that can get too expensive. Or even temp slots with a time limit to use and you need to rebuild the slots.
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Now that temporary farms are running non-stop, it really would be helpful to have their building slots not connected to the other farms.  It's really hard to progress our farms while doing the temporary farms, too.

  • I believe this is the same game maker of big game empire and they allow more than one building slot if you buy a crane. I would like to see this is an option. We should be able to build more than one thing on our different farms at the very least. Even if they don't allow it on the same farm why not say build one thing at main farm and then at gourmet farm? I don't know, it never made much sense to me.

    I have to agree with DK - the fact that there is only one building slot free available is intended and part of the whole game strategy - and that should be enough. Upon our request we've got a second building slot on the temporary Island Event; so GGS listened to us - maybe not 100% what players who want more building slots intended, but at least there is 1 more building slot to use at busy times.

    Tho I must admit that I didn't use it until now and I don't miss a second building slot at all ... I like arranging all building times meticulously so that everything fits well within my planned strategy trying to loose as little time as possible. That's exactly what a strategy game is all about.

    Oh ... and no, I am not a gold buyer!

  • Well this would change with a simple thing. People that don't like this should stop playing the game developers would notice why people stoped playing and that's it... We would get our way... this way not a chance.
  • Right now, you can only build 1 building at a time in all farms (i think) and this takes forever.
    So i was thinking that skip times could be introduced or you could make more building slots etc.

    Skip times would work by winning them in events or something. 1 minute times, 5 minute times, 10 minuets, 30 minutes, 1h etc.

  • Gold...
