    duh, well I'm happy to know you aren't short changed. I should have went a bit farther back.

    Don't feel bad, everything on all 3 of my farms is waiting for Steve. When he dose show up I don't know what I want done first. I did the farmhouse first to save on build time.

    Thanks for clearing that up :)

    You know me.. I have a spreadsheet (Well of COURSE I do!) that lists all the Architect Upgrades I need and I have them prioritized in the order I want to do them in. :) That way when Steve finally pops up I don't have to hunt around for something that needs upgrading, I know exactly where to send him. :)

    The 5% Time Bonus and 50 storage bonus for the later levels of the Farmhouse just weren't that high of a priority for me at the time, knowing I'd have to wait a MONTH to upgrade the windmills, barns, silo, composter, and whatnot.  I'm patient, but not THAT patient. :)

    I do love that RoadRunner though.
  • 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. 
    @Maggielin2085Ma (US1) If you mean the stars that you can see on this screenshot (Borrowed from CrazyBigFarm's post) :)  They just indicate that you have upgraded the machine to the maximum level.


  • yes those are the stars I was referring to = thank you for your reply

    My stack master will not skip a mission at all. I still have to reach minimum to skip. Is this because I have to choose 1 of the 4 time choices to have it run. I hear the machine "crank" up but it will not work on missions  Nancy5

    Yes Nancy it costs you something to have it run you have to decide what you want then hit the pick button it it just as you do for the other tractors there

    @Nancy6 (US1) You choose one of the 4 options, each activates the machine for a different amount of time. You will see a timer bar at the top of your farm for as long as it is active.

    I activated the amphibian with option 3, supposedly giving 50% more fish. Whether I fish manually or use Oleg, it is still normal output, or at least that is what display is saying. When I fish manually I am still only getting 4 to 6 kg fish as before.

    @Rusty Farmer (AU1) The bonus is credited when you empty the bucket, so that it does not fill the bucket faster.

    Farm Machine - Stackmaster
    How does this farm machine work.  I've tried placing it on the farm.  I've tried activating it. 
    Either way, I cannot shelve missions.  Do you have to be a specific upgrade level to be able to shelve missions?

    The upgrade level only determines how long you have to wait before you can use it again.  You should be able to shelve from the moment it's built and activated to the amount of time you wish to use it.  The mission window will show 0 as amount required and shelve button enabled.

  • @Fresh Farmer (US1) After clicking the "Ready to activate" button, you need to select one of the 4 options for how long you want the machine to run: 5mins - 30mins - 1hr5mins - 2hrs10mins You will then be able to shelve any missions during that period of time.
  • Thanks Wascally Wabbit.  Maybe I didn't do that last time.  I'll try it.  PS. I like your farm name.
  • Thanks Val too!

    Sent Oleg fishing & Amphibian boat isn't giving more fish when activated. What's up?

    @noisy (US1) See above - The bonus is added when you empty the bucket. :)

    I thought i saw a bug report about this but i can only find the hovercraft bug one.

    The left picture is when i started fishing with sending the boat out. I started the amphibious vehicle booster 20 minutes later and after that i went to take a look at how much i get with booster. Nothing has changed as you can see in the picture.

    However, the booster says that you will get a boost on all sources where you catch fish, does this mean we have to trust GGS to give us the the booster when we manually catch fish? Why does it say we get a booster on all sources where we catch fish if with sending out a boat (a boat is also catching fish at the source, or is Oleg going to a fish store and buy his fish) does not change anything at all. Catch manually the amount also does not change, where is that booster going too?



  • @PINJO1986 (NL1) The bonus is added when you empty the bucket, so the only way to see it is by chasing the flying icons to see the numbers on them. If you collected that harvest before the timer ran out, then you will have got the bonus. It does not matter when you start the machine, as long as it is active when you harvest. 

    Here are a couple of screenshots showing it working, you can see the bonus on the Bass.

    The powerhouse boosts production of animals and the numbers change in the display when the mouse is over the building.  Why does the Amphibian not change the numbers in the display above in the mouse over display?

    @dchen1 (US1) The bonus is added when you harvest & not when you fish, so that the bonus fish do not fill up your bucket space.more quickly than usual.

    I have just harvested with 50% increase running and should have received  400 + 200 bonito but did not receive any increase just the 400, have done this twice with the same result no increase.  My total was at 11943 before harvest and 12343 just a normal increase of 400. I then went fishing myself caught a bonito at 6 kgs so should have increased by 9kgs but still no extra my total went to 12349.

    It gets worse now with a new bug I just noticed. The machine that increases the weight of fish caught (amphibian) isn't working. You get credited for the extra fish in storage but then when you go to sell them it doesn't work. Log out then come back in and the amount in storage is reduced back to the number you would have if the machine wasn't activated. Continue fishing with machine activated and the same thing happens. It will only allow u to sell the original number of fish, not the boosted number. So now we r wasting tools?

    @gizmo22 (AU1) Thank you for the report. A tech has checked it out & the good news is that nothing is really lost - the bug is that the bonus amount is added twice.
    For example:
    base sturgeon: 116
    with 80% boost: 208.8 = 209
    displayed amount = 302
    after relog = 209

    He is working on a fix now. :)

    How can someone shelve a mission without ever having contributing any thing?
    I see people shelve missions and they have zero's? How can you do that?

    Will amphibian bug be fixed? The fish booster still isn't working......the increase does show in storage but then it won't let u sell the fish. Logging out then back in then allows u to sell fish BUT the amount u had is no longer the boosted amount which makes the amphibian pointless....it doesn't work at the moment.

    @gizmo22 (AU1) That one is on the list of bugfixes for today's update :)
  • I've just seen a player on the GB server who is managing to play at least two missions at once. He's in an old eggs mission and has just opted out of a newer one. How is this possible???
  • Southern (US1)Southern (US1) US1 Posts: 3,268
    Probably the StackMaster.  It allows you to shelve a mission even with 0 production.
