IE., if you're making bricks AND upgrading the Metals Factory, you can't see the scaffolding until the bricks have finished producing.
You can look in the little Construction Window at the bottom while you're in the village to confirm that the building is still upgrading.
Now we have a building upgrading, only the timer says zero. I tried moving from farm to farm, sometimes that fixed the stuck timer thing. Nope.
Nuff for today. Don't care. Let it sit stuck. Maybe a log jammed in the saw or something. lol.
Anybody hear?
Updating the T & T factory on the village the timer is stuck at 0:0 by three hours and is requesting me 1965 golds to finish this.
I logged out and back several times but nothing happened.
Nobody from GGS can solve all this mess around that you are created and you are not able to solve?
If you have not this capacity tell us frankly about it.
I rose a problem in the morning. Now the amount of golds requested is decreased to 1896. Maybe next week will ask for 0 golds.
GGS don't you hear?
Any clue any idea?
Thanks for rewards (ha,ha...) but I think you forgot to give us the village dollars.
Where are?
In my account not yet
Going to the Village Map every time I wanted to get to the Village was getting old in a hurry.
I hope someone can answer these questions for me:
1) does every upgrade of everything (factories, warehouse, jetty etc) cause village happiness to decrease?
2) who has permission to start an upgrade?
3) what determines to-be-collected totals for each item in the village league competition? (coop rank, # in coop, etc)
Thanks in advance, I understand some of this may have been answered, but this is a lengthy thread...
1. With every upgrade the happiness will decrease by 1% percent.
2. Leader and deputies of the co-op should start instantly the upgrade without to waste time for the vote of the rest of the team
Basically, we want it to be the leader and deputies, that can start up challenges - just like with the coop.
Dont get me wrong, it is a nice idea, but needs alot more time in the oven before it is rolled out to the main game. And trying to understand what to do and when and why also needs great fine tuning before roll out as I read and write english and still cant figure out what the heck I am suppose to do or how when it comes to the coop village stuff and the coop horse stuff. Try again Devs.
example: we have done 2 and the 3rd one needs more items , we have til 6pm to finish it, but dont think we will, we have donated 3 of the items done.
do u recieve gifts for doing part of the last one:))))
I was thinking about this coop village thing last night. It dawned on me, there are enough people playing this game who have GOT to win at any cost so the non stop, continuous challenges, and the many slots for gold spending to speed things up, GG must be counting their dollar signs.
I bet though, once the newness of this wears off, this game will be wittled down to those who keep blowing money just to get a number higher than the next guy, and those who give up on this unrewarding venture and just stick with their farming. Or possibly leave coops all together.
The question will be, which batch grows the most. If the spenders keep GG in the black, more of this will be added to the game.
Ya know, they really lost sight of how THIS game appeals to people. Spending gold to get better stuff, more fun stuff, that's how this use to work. Keep the competitions to games that are all about battle.
Galaxy (Which they let go long ago and are killing off completely in May.) Empire. Personally I won't even touch that one. Already heard all about how much money they want for every little thing. But there are plenty out there who love to battle so for them, there is Empire.
I just want my relaxing happy little "click fest" as my daughter puts it. Move at my own pace. Try for events if I can, let them go if my schedule is too full. LIke that.
This is turning into more of a war game. I don't like that one bit.
The new farm is cool with all the new stuff and buildings. That much IS fun. Could sure do without all the coop against coop nonsense. There really needs to be a decline button somewhere.
Or maybe a setting the leader can switch making the coop a fighting one, or a no, we just farm one. Decline ALL challenges automatically. Then let GG watch and see where the population leans.
The Village League rewards page will appear whenever you win a competition. The only other time you'll see it is after the weekly reset (on Sunday). it pops up automatically, there's no way to get to it "manually".
That allows you to spend ribbons won during the Village League competitions. If you don't win any, you won't get any ribbons except on Sunday, where you'll get some rewarded to you based on your Co-Ops ranking. You then have to spend them when the Rewards page pops up, or they'll be converted to Village Dollars (5:1 ratio) and you'll start over with 0 ribbons.
1) Thank you for the compensation, it was nice, although I would rather prefer that you don't introduce annoying known bugs that have been found in the test server on the other servers.
2) I do not understand the "Storagelimit set to 20": wasn't already set to 20 for horse stuff and Yarnacle stuff? Am I missing something?
3) Thank you for adding the timer for the village. However it seems not to be working when you just sign into the game (not a mayor issue but for you to know)
4) Just wondering. I just read the Adventure's boat help and it says "It seems that Yarnacle has a very close relationship to the people of Volcano Island, since he often gets exotic fruits and other supplies from them. He's obviously very generous, too, because he gives away everything that he gets from the volcano tribe for free!
It is a long way to Volcano Island, and the trip is pretty dangerous [...]" A volcano island is supposed to be the 4th upcoming farm. Does this mean that our way to that island is through the coop village? Or I guess it will be at least somehow related to Yarnacle?
5) How can it be that the second upgrade to the jetty is available from village level 15, but a material that you need to donate for the upgrade (blockboards) cannot be produced until you upgrade the Timber and Textiles factory to level 15 which you cannot do until you reach village level 27? It seems inconsistent.
Edit: 6) Oh yes, another question: is there a way to change the departure hours for Yarnacle? Couple of misunderstandings in my coop about how the building (people didn't realize that voting can actually start a construction) and speeding of constructions worked (somehow some people thought that after clicking in the helmet you could donate workers to speed up the future construction time of the building you clicked on, not that you were speeding up the construction of current building), made that Yarnacle ship is docked when most of the coop is sleeping or working...
generally I am trying to be optimistic about the village stuff and I think it has the potential to be good, as long as it remains profitable.
However, I have 2 issues ....
1) captain yarnacle is a waste of time for the vast majority of my coop as he arrives at midnight and midday, and so most of the coop are either asleep or at work and so miss him.
2) village happiness ... a couple of issues with this ... 1) what is the penalty for the construction to happiness? because we have only done 9 upgrades (not including the ones from Dennis) and it is showing -66 on construction progression, at least with the other farms you were told before you constructed houses how much negativity it would cause. I am guessing it is 3 points? 2) a concern about the whole village happiness aspect due to the general rarity of village happiness decos and the ability, or as it appears at the moment inability, they have to offset the impact of construction which means that it is difficult enough for long term players, let alone players who have only just started to manage to get a happy village ... in the long run rather than being a good selling point of a cooperative a well developed village could become a negative one all due to the impact of happiness ...
At the moment all I am hoping for is that there is a Village Landscape Architect very quickly due to be created and appear on the horizon with the ability to upgrade existing village happiness of decos and add it to existing ones (and not at ridiculous prices as well).
The village could also have done with a load of tasks to help navigate the aspects, because there was so much new stuff it took us over a day to realise we could sell the products for ordinary dollars through tab 7 of farm management, and longer to realise that we could click on the caravan to find out about the medal awards ... not to mention most of the other aspects as well ...
My coop is actually ahead in the current challenge. Maybe we'll get something.
Yarnicle. Still haven't seen him. Sure hope this doesn't involve fishing. I find the whole fishing experience to be a drag. Been fishing lately to try and get through these coop league things. It's SO stupid. Seems I real in the line and the fish still pulls away. In real fishing this isn't possible. ALso you can take as long as you like with a real fish. I tried steady clicking to keep the gauge in the yellow, timer suddenly speeds up. I tried better line, lure, reel. NOTHING seems to matter. I get a few then get one that runs out the clock no matter what. It's just stupid.
So much easier to just send him off fishing but the choices are limited.
1. What is the point of so many event decorations if only so few of them give coop village happiness? All event decorations should give coop village happiness... Right now I have 96% happiness in my main farm and 94% happiness in my gourmet farm, and 94% happiness in my flower farm. But I have red, no discount, in my coop village, with only 13 total happiness in my coop village due to having only a few coop village decorations locomotive etc.
2. The warehouse should be more like the bakery, allowing the storage of extras, but it is not.
3. The gold researched coop dollar donation bonus should apply also to the coop village dollars donated to the coop but it does not.
4. The medals earned from the coop challenges should be cumulative, not reset.
yup, got him fishing for bonito for the next 5 hours. Easy.
Of my three farms, two just happen to be holding their own with the competition thing. And players ARE showing up more.
But the third? Normally the busiest one, most advanced, well no one there goes to the forums, or I think did the test server. So no one had a clue what this is all about. As a result we are HOPELESSLY behind in every challenge so far. As a result, I barely showed up there. I see several players with orange or red dots.
Even the leaders are sort of ho hum about this whole thing.
I have a strong feeling about the two coops that are trying everything out, once people figure out the rewards are not at all worth all the effort, they will start dropping off.
This whole thing was not thought out very well. Certainly not tested long enough to give you any kind of useful results.
This is all about greed. It's just dumb. If you planned this better, made things easier to understand without searching a forum board, you would keep your customers (yes that's what we are after all) interested.
Sure you'll get some quick profits. You watch as those dwindle.
I'll be watching for your NEXT round of lay offs.
The village happiness used to determine production costs in the village factories is based on your own private decorations.
But when the concept of "melancholy" is introduced into the Village League, that will have to be based on collective decorations. Because of redlight members who won't have any decorations with village happiness on their farms, I await that development with trepidation

"With the new updates for the cooperative village and the expansion of fishing opportunities, Big Farm offers players a completely new area and gives them the opportunity for greater cooperation, thereby satisfying players’ wishes".
They also think this (Village League & Yarnacle) is what we are asking for.
What is an inactive coop? How does a coop become inactive?
