Construction tokens

Where is the logic that, when you manually press the normal construction site, to use that for upgrades that takes short time, and when you start the upgrade: BAM! U LOST 50 TOKENS! Wait what?! I, DID, NOT, PRESS, THE, TEMP. construction site, because I ain't no moron that wanna throw those tokens outta the window! NO, I wanted to spend them, on something that really takes A LONG TIME, you know, like 36 hrs f.ex! Not 3 hrs, 36!

I know I ain't he only one who's fed up with this. Ah mean, it's not like it rains tokens every 2 days or a couple of times a month! This is the 4th time I've lost tokens because of some stupid stuff so yes, I am deed pretty pissed off. Ah worked mah butt off to score them tokens, just for you to take them away in a blink of an eye huh? Does anyone else see how messed up this is? It must be our decision what we wanna use them for, or....? There's absolutely no reason for me to upgrade something more now, because then the normal construction slot is occupied for the next 36 hrs, instead of the temp. construction slot!

    I try to use the extra slot as soon as its available, because i have lost tokens.  With so many events running at the same time, you can get tokens so fast and fortunately i only lost 5.  I think when you have the full 50, at some point they stop adding tokens to your storage, which is weird since other items in storage have thousands.
    I usually figure what i want to use the extra slot on, ahead of time, then make sure it is the slot showing, then click the upgrade.  I think if you change farms, you have to get the extra slot showing again.

  • That's just the way it's designed.  If you have 50 tokens, it will always use the 2nd /temp construction slot first. Always. It doesn't matter if you build a deco that takes 6 seconds, or a Duck Coop that takes 115 hours; if the temp construction slot is available and you have 50+ tokens, it will use it first.

    Your only defense is to always have something "in reserve" that you want to upgrade that takes a long time, and as soon as you get 50+ tokens, start upgrading that item.  Don't wait, because you might forget and put down a deco or something by accident.

    Yes, thank you.  I'm pretty sick of this game taking away my prizes.  When the coins are full, you just lose.
    No reason they can't stack.  I'll deal with the slot coming up first, but to take away what we just won is frustrating.

    I got burned by this before I understood how it works.  I wasted 50 tokens on a 6 minute boat build.

    Then I assumed I must have had the construction token slot selected on accident.  So the next time, I made sure I clicked the normal slot before I started, and even then it used the construction token slot.  I wasted 50 tokens on a 1 hour upgrade.

    After I learned how it worked I haven't had a problem with it.  Just know that if you have a construction token slot available, it will ALWAYS use that with your next build.  Regardless of if you have another slot available.

    This has bit me as well. Here's a grand idea - how about a verification such as the recent gold confirmation.

    Hey silly farmer - "do you really want to use 50 construction coins for a 6 second deco?"

    I know the gold confirmation took YEARS to be implemented but now that it is in use seems that it would be easily applied to the construction coins

    What I would like to see changed is the forced choice you have to make when the coins keep rolling in. You cannot break out and actually use the first 50 coins, before all the wins have been presented. So you are forced to choose some superfeed, or you just loose the coins. I hate that.

    I agree mutterkjaer!  Lately there are 20-30 won in some event and they all come cascading at once... how does THAT make sense?? There is no way to start the construction and come back for the unused tokens.

    you also can't break out to see if you actually need them or not.

    The only problem I really have at the moment is when I have multiple events running and get a bunch of tokens at once and have to accept that 30 - 40 tokens get wasted because I cannot set an upgrade to use 50 and then accept more tokens.  Instead it makes your take the tokens first wasting them.

    I wish they could accumulate like so many other things in the storage area do. That way you could use them when you are ready to.  As you get further into the game, sometimes you don't have the money to upgrade the item you really want to upgrade and you end up upgrading something small and inexpensive.
