The other thing that is that will effect it soon is the subscription, old cow shed you can be away 14hrs and not miss a harvest, but the large sheds if you can only be away 7hrs.
I work, but it is still easy to get 3 normal cow harvests in but very hard to get 5 copious cows, I harvest normal in morning before work, at lunch and at night before bed. But there is no way I could do that with the copious cows harvest every 3.5hrs, but for my numbers I said it is possible for very active players.
Personally, I love it ( we have a colossal here )
Its definetely great for Purple/Orange feed ( also very close to power house timer )
It definetely gives much more milk ( in the faster timeframe than any other type of cowsheds )
It also use less Seaweed feed than a normal cowshed
Its definetely a GREAT building:))
@Farmer Jack (Au1) - I see you don't belong to a co-op.... I know a good one when your ready to join.
however, those advantages you state are very powerful in this game, it's a bit like saying the water tower's only advantage is that you use less feed and fertilizer.... and i assume you know how beneficial the water towers are
that is a huge assumption
it obviously doesn't suit the way you play
for someone who can utilize it well (you dont have plenty of seaweed, many others do), it's a powerful shed (tho the dazzler has better output numbers comparatively speaking, the colossal shed is of much more use to me and in more varied ways than the giant egg machine)
and you only need one to get all the benefits, i find the colossal cowshed a great addition to the game in the way i choose to play it
Basically , the big cowsheds are for missions in CC or for the HWE events , for your standard production stick with the normal cows .
if the water tower and grand house got it on and had a little kid, this would be their offspring for cows
what would be the argument for regularly playing seaweed players not to have one if available?
aethetics? cba to build one with all the messing around that involves (yes, we're still waiting for a non-bugged layout mode, and dont even get me started on rebuilding times on VH decos...)?
it certainly won't be milk production for dollars, cos if you view milk as your money maker, you need to go look in other areas of big farm
Sorry have not done this sooner. Library Book have increased so I think the numbers should be updated
IS the NEW cow shed waste of time and farm $$$. Lets compare and see.
Norm cow get harvested 3 times a day, at lvl 8 and all book bought that is
450 milk + 255 milk (Book) x3 harvests x 4 cows = 8460 milk
now hard to believe but I sleep so new cows will produce
900 milk + 255 milk (book) x 5 harvest (14hrs) = 5775 milk
They do have a slight advantage that they take less workers, but look at the output difference per 14hr day of play. New cowshed is 2685 milk less per day approx. 1/3 less
lets say you don't sleep much and play 17.5 hrs a day to get 1 more harvest in
900 milk + 255 milk (book) x 6 harvest (17.5hrs) = 6930
So if u spend 14hrs a day, every day, on your farm you will be 2685 milk per day worse off and even if you can somehow do 6 harvest every day (17.5hrs) you are still 1530 milk worse off
OH GGS has done it again, with a worthless new item
If you would also like the numbers if using powerhouse I can do that as well, but it only gets worse.
If you want number for Colossal I can do as well, better than copious, but still way lot less than normal cow, please request if you want to see them.
I WOULD build a Colossal, if I had one (which I don't), simply for the seaweed benefit. Not to mention that as a subscriber, I get to "Repeat" the production for 7 hours while I sleep so I don't lose any production time anyway (of course it only costs what, 10 gold for a non-subscriber?).
I wouldn't say it's "Worthless". It has its benefits to the right player. In a perfect farm, I would have 1 Colossal and the rest Candy/Tropicals - and forgo the "regular" cowsheds completely.
Total harvest of milk for a day, is a complete useless and outdated reference
You know what is called : Seaweed Feed ( The purple ressource in game, to produce instantly from all animal buildings.. Right?
And you can use that ressource for a lot of different events with milk
I'll name a few uses , since u seem to have absolutely no idea...
#1- To shelve a milk mission quickly, using 15 seaweed feed, or fighting to win a milk mission
#2- For the Regular HW event, and The Coop HW, Whenever you get the milk ressource, It is easily making it to 10, and also, the possiblity to use extra, to add time on the milk, ( you can reach 8-9 hours for sleeping time)
#3-For The Village Fair, For when it asks for a bit of milk, can be spot used
#4- it costs 25% less seaweed feed to use, compared to candy/tropical/normal cowsheds
#5-And, u even said that one, That it takes less employees
#6-3:30 run time, and 1:45 when you have a shorter time boost on ur farm , it will more frequently ready for use
#7- The actual building is also more efficient when you receive gifts
Most players don't have an endless supply of seaweed feed either.
NUMBERS DON'T LIE, Even GGS will agree with these numbers and have been sent to balancers on old numbers, when they see new numbers some thing will have to be done. But I don't care you go ahead and put 4 copious/colossal cow sheds on your farm. I will play by maths and number which show throw in bin. I do understand why some players would have 1.
@Southern (US1) yes my collection of candy cows is increasing all the time, I am up to 5 but will eventually replace my normal cow with candy
I do want a colossal. I keep hoping they'll add them to the WWC vendor. I'm currently buying the tropicals, but I can only win enough coins to buy 1 Tropical per WWC.
This is just for info for Colossal Cow shed, if I was to get ONE it would be the only ONE on my farm.
Norm cow get harvested 3 times a day, at lvl 8 and all book bought that is
450 milk + 255 milk (Book) x3 harvests x 4 cows = 8460 milk
now hard to believe but I sleep so Colossal cows will produce
1080 milk + 255 milk (book) x 5 harvest (14hrs) = 6675 milk
They do have a slight advantage that they take less workers, but look at the output difference per 14hr day of play. Colossal cowshed is 2685 milk less per day approx.
lets say you don't sleep much and play 17.5 hrs a day to get 1 more harvest in
1080milk + 255 milk (book) x 6 harvest (17.5hrs) = 8010
So if u spend 14hrs a day, every day, on your farm you will be 1785 milk per day worse off and even if you can somehow do 6 harvest every day (17.5hrs) you are still 450 milk worse off
It is still less milk in a day than normal cow, but due to less workers and less seaweed feed needed, then ONE of these would be very helpful. I will still stick to my candy and tropical cows as I can have fit 6 in the same space and produce a LOT, LOT, LOT , more for HWE, VF etc If you want the numbers for that I will do as well
As mentioned by some already, different players have different play styles. If the reward is not valuable for you I would recommend not using it and going for something that suits the way you play better, there are multiple options for this. The feedback can be passed but the focus right now is on the issues we had in the last couple of weeks and getting those resolved. I will forward the feedback but as I have mentioned, it may just be that this item is not for you. Others might find value in it, or it may be valuable in combination with some other buildings as has also been brought up here, but changing an entire product based on a few pieces of feedback is usually risky as there may be many more who do not raise their voices in the forum who would have a problem with changes such as this. For now, if it's not valuable we recommend using a different building that is more valuable to you. Thanks everyone!
But the numbers are there so players know not to build copious cow, no matter style of play and they can decide for themselves with ALL the info
Milk sells for $35, so 1785 x 35 = $62,475 a day
My Shop makes around $3,000,000 a day
My DSF makes over $10,000,000 a day
I don't care about how much milk I produce per day
but I do care about how much I can produce in 30 mins and how much that costs me
I have a very limited supply of seaweed feed and any savings I can make there are of real value to me.
As you say, "it is worth having 1 on your farm for the use of seaweed" but any more is completely pointless.
Once you have won one, a second is a totally valueless prize
It should be high in your priority list @CM_Hunter
Byron's numbers are too kind, not even the colossal cowshed produces more than the regular cowsheds, but it does cost a fortune to build.
This is not a matter of play style, there was a mistake in the way the large cowsheds were balanced. When the books were changed a few weeks ago, the developers should have adjusted the output of the large cowsheds as well, otherwise they are inconsistent with regular and themed cowsheds
It is just that simple
