  • I'll never use the two fishing machines, but it looks like I'll still have to build one of them to get to the machine I would use.  
    Ditto. I could care less about fishing. But because I want the Roadrunner for increased storage, I will be forced to build the Hovercraft.
    same here, but i guess it will pay off later

    I can not build any of these until they increase the tools drop.  I hope they have factored this in.

    I do like the idea.

    I had 95 tools yesterday after the update. Been farming since and i have only 103 so far.
    At this rate it will take a long long time until i build them all, considering that i also need tools for other machines as well.

    I know.  Maybe we could list them on Craig's List.  :p

    Remember that all the tractors on the first tab are that way, though - when you first start, the only tractor you can build (on the 1st tab) is the Retro Classic (increases happiness).  You then have to build the rest of them in order, and the Hovercraft & Roadrunner is no exception - can't build the Hovercraft until after you build the Crop Chopper, can't build the Crop Chopper until after you've built the MultiFarmer, etc.

    So for someone who's just starting out (or hasn't built all the 1st tab tractors yet), they've got an even longer road to travel than the rest of us that have already completed most of them. :)
  • ...........and I remember the days of saving tools, just so I could build the MultiFarmer and such like........those days are ahead of me once again.......Thanks for the new tractors GGS, but next time, instead of build the snowman, could we have build the toolman?  and the big prize would be like a pinata FULL of tools?  or somethin' like that?   B)

    Works for me.  

    BTW, the Snowman event is supposed to be an ANNUAL event, which we just had not too long ago.  


    Note to GGS:  Better to have no event than these continuous reruns and non-stop temporary farms and CCs. Monotony is going to kill your audience.  Like the guy who brings his circus to town once a year.  Makes a lot of money.  So he comes twice a year.  Makes a lot of money.  So he comes quarterly.  Makes a good amount of money, though not as much per circus as previously.  So, he decides to stay open year-round.  Circus is no longer a novelty or something to look forward to so it's mostly ignored. Just sayin'.

    I am sure they will not make Tools drop from anything else or any faster. It is all part of their game-play strategy.

    We got by with what tools we could get in the past for the other tractors and I'm sure we'll get by now. I'm sure their strategy is if we built the other farm machines at lower levels with less stables to work with, than we can build the new farm machines at higher levels with more stables to get drops from. As far as farmers that are just starting out, they will have to build their tractors in order anyway, just like we did.

    So you see, it will all work out just as it is. Except for those of us that want our new things built yesterday :)
  • New machines mean one thing = buy more gold to buy toolboxes?
    since these new machine's were added there as been far,far,far less drops from main farm !!!!!
    ( its just greed again from (big farm) developers.)
    They dont give a dam about folk who dont buy gold or cant afford gold!
    They are only interested in paying customers,as usual like most goodgame multi-player games online?
    This game is slowly but surely going to the dogs,more players are leaving per year cus of gold buying for progress,Not a fun game like it used to be over 4 years ago,everyone who played it was equal.
    NOW its dog eat dog..bad for business.

    NOWAY its smart thinking,its a real money spinner again,game play strategy my backside it is,So the hackers in this game too are equal to game strategy,dont think so,
    You have your opinon Kamilcom,i have mine,and believe me as i said in last post,
    This goodgame big farm will go exactly like other goodgame multi-player games,where there is gold to buy for progress within game,THE HACKERS WILL KILL GAMEPLAY.
    And innocent game players lose out and end up quiting game.
    Game play strategy........WHERE!!!!!

    This is a game about patience. I bought one of the new machines and after a few days I'm already back to around 70 tools You have to strategize and briefly hold off on spending the tools to activate the machines until you have saved enough to buy the other machines. That's part of the game.

    Thank you!

    Lucky you!  But I'm finding by reading here and talking to folks that this isn't the case for the majority of us.  It took me 3 weeks to get enough tools to build the first machine.  Now it's 3/23/17 and I'm all the way up to 66, woohoo, so another couple of weeks to get enough to start the second...if I'm lucky.  Previously I'd get about 12 to 20 tools a day.  Now, it's 4.  Doesn't seem to matter how long I'm on harvesting away at the items that actually drop tools, I still only seem to get 4.  Patience?  No not really.  Not when others were able to benefit before the untimely change in drops and have all of theirs built.  Just seems more of the same'o same'o.  The haves and the have nots.  Not sure what level you are since you're on a different server than I am, but that must be the difference, or you're just one of the lucky "haves."  ;)

    @christina5777 (US1)   I think you mean the Roadrunner machine. It doesn't have to be activated or upgraded all the way to work. It gives you more storage for each level you upgrade on it. You might not have noticed the increase in your storage because the increase is so small. :)

    regarding not getting the tractor bonus in missions

    one thing i do know for sure is that if you are in a mission and are logged out at the end of that mission (had to leave, wifi down etc, whatever), you do not get tractor bonuses

    if you log out and back in during a mission (to refresh cos of lag), that's fine as long as you are logged in at the end, you will still get the bonuses, but as i said, if for some reason you are logged out at the end of the mission - no tractor bonuses for you

    its about patience. wet feed helps alot if you are online. finished 2 tractors... patience and persistance and it will happen
     We are currently doing research to add a couple of lovely ladies. contact myself or check out relaxed farming on au1 server

    @Corvid (GB1) That is indeed a known display error, but you do still get the bonus, it just doesn't show. :)

  • what does it mean when I go to activate my tractors and I have yellow stars flashing/moving on my screen where it shows what level  they are at.  do I select the activate button or replace?  do the stars mean anything?  this shows up from time to time but I do not know what it means. 
  • when i try to build the amphibian to level 1  I have all the things needed but when I click build I get a message saying I  don't have enough gold  for this ?

    I hate to tell you this @Southern (US1) but I think your getting short changed 100 storage somewhere.

    I have a level 9 farmhouse - even if yours is 8 the difference is 50 not 100
    I have 2 level 8 blue barns - the difference between 7 and 8 is 600
    and we both have a level 7 Roadrunner

    so where is the 100 difference?

    My farmhouse is only Level 7 at the moment, so I'm short 100 from the Level 9 one.  It's next on my list next time Steve pops around though. :)

    I've always got a ton of stuff waiting for Steve, and the FarmHouse has just always been low priority. He just doesn't come around enough. :neutral:
