Hello everyone,
We trust that you are all enjoying the deep sea fishing we brought to Big Farm two weeks ago!
Now, as promised, we’re bringing you the Job Center -- among other nice things ! ![]()
You will undoubtedly be excited to see that your feedback and suggestions have been heard and attended to, with some great adjustments made to features and also new things added.
Continue reading to find out all about them.
The Job Center
With the Job Center you’ll be able to hire season specialists to boost the output of White Sand (Dry Field), Clay (Wet Field) and Rocks (Stony Field).
What you will need
- Be part of a cooperative and upgrade the Job Center in the Cooperative Village.
- Fields, meadows and gardens.
- Village Dollars (or gold).
How it works - The Specialists
- Season specialists have different stats which depend upon the type of currency you use to hire them: village dollars (or gold).
- By upgrading the Job Center, your cooperative will unlock better specialists with better stats.
- The stats can differ on the following aspects: working time, hiring cost, production outcome, duration of season (total number of production cycles).
- You can hire up to 3 specialists for each type of material:
3 "Pump Mechanics" for wet facilities
3 "Sand Shovellers" for dry facilities
3 "Rock Pickers" for stony facilities
This means that you can have 9 season specialists at any given time.
- After each season, you can either dismiss them or renew their contracts (via pop-up).
- You can renew specialists’ contracts up to 10 times in a row, and each time they get better characteristics / stats.
- If you want to hire a better specialist and there’s already a hired one working on a field, you have to wait for him to finish his work, or you can skip the time with gold.
- A new button will be included in the ring menu.
And finally, production penalty from the edge plants will be reduced by 10 % (70% -> 60%).
Dockyard and Deep Sea optimizations
We received a lot of feedback regarding the new deep sea feature, and made some adjustments there:
when the boat returns from a fishing trip, details of the catch will now be displayed in the *tooltip
fish spots will reset as soon as the spot is empty and the last boat from this location has returned to the harbour.
there will now be a small indicator to shows you which item is effective on which type of boat.
- four new recipes will be added to the fish restaurant, all of them can drop seaweed (for use in the farm laboratory):
Seafood Bowl
Fried Fish Buffet
Canned Fish
Rare Fillet
three new recipes will be added to the farm laboratory. These recipes use chum to create mystery boxes:
Bronze Mystery box
Silver Mystery box
Gold Mystery box
a tooltip will be added to the fishing spots to show the remaining time the spot will be active for
a new tooltip will be added to show the calculations of the fishing and travel time applicable when you want to send out a boat to a spot
chum production in the dockyard will now also drop seaweed
you will now be able to see the name and the level of each boat in it's tooltip (once you've renamed the boat)
the prices of chum have been recalculated.
the dockyard on the Flower Farm will now behave like the one on the deep sea side except that it won't allow you build and equip boats
consecutive boxes for the fishing Hard Worker Event will no longer ask for fish from the same location
Other changes:
- The Flower Farm will now have its own Nursery!
- Meadows on the Flower Farm will now drop the following collectibles:*
The date for the update has not yet been confirmed. We will let you know as soon as this information becomes available, as well as provide info on any other additions, should there be any.
You can discuss this update HERE.
We hope you will have a lot of fun with these new features,
Your Big Farm Team !
* "tooltip" refers to the little box with information that pops up when you hover your mouse (without actually clicking it) over a building or facility. It provides useful information regarding the building/facility.
Comments
- Reward decorations in the candy farm event overview should have Village Happiness.
Flower Farm Nursery
Village Job Center
- The village league reward shop will now be available to be accessed at any time you desire (during the week). The preview shop will be removed.
PLEASE NOTE: This change is not permanent, it will only continue until a planned optimization of the feature is completed. The "Last chance" pop-up will still happen, with the weekly reset of medals & prices.
The update will happen today.
We will inform you of the time if we get sufficient warning but it will most likely not be before midday CEST
