    Well , Since everyone wants to focus on the downsides

    Get working on your Jam factories ! ( Dont forget to build 3 )

    Very very decent amount of dollar profit from them :)

    And you can even start building them at level 40!

    More Dollars Makes My Day ! :)

    PS : Look at how many Catalysts rewards have been added to the CC line , I think it will be fine :)

    This is not a game anymore, it's buy your status, buy your rank...no skill, no fun, just pay your way.
    Couldn't have said it any better.  Data King saw this coming a year ago --  he was sure right.  The game has, and will continue to get worse.  I think the word we're all looking for here is bye-bye.
  • After I joined the game, This is worst the update ever. :tired_face:

    you need to redo the new update   the lab is crazy

  • How can a game do an upgrade that takes away from what players have already earned? upgrades are for players to move forward.

    I am so angry about the change to the Farm Lab.  You DONT take away from people what they already have paid for!  If you wanted to add the extras then do it as extras NOT at the expense of what people have already earned.

    Its actually put me off the game.  If this sort of thing is what is going to happen in other areas then why bother?  I'm still realitively new to the game, not a way to encourage confidence in new players to stick with it.
  • Special seeds can be made from Nursery. And we can make only special seeds from farm laboratory level 1-15.

    Hello!
    Man, I am so sorry to note that the work of skilled people - programmers is decreased to zero by the inability of the GGS to have a PROFESSIONAL PR.
    I teach management, I work with people, I ofer myself as volunteer if you want to hire me to make the communication things... ... because it's really a big shame how you managed to make a very bad impression instead of getting good feelings from the player with your work.
    Unfortunately you have succed to UPSET every one AND IT'A A BIG SHAME.
    Even the greatest product in the world, when there is a big competition between the companies, won't sell if you don't have a good pr and a good seller specialist.

    Here is an example of communication for how the players should have been informed to perceive POSITIVELY the update and NOT THE BIGGEST disappointment EVER:
    "
    Dear players, we are pleased to announce a special update that will bring you new benefits through the new update of the laboratory, and now it will be easier for everyone to take it to a high level to unlock as many facilities as possible.
    1. Production will now be based only on catalysts, which will be won at events not as before (1-2), but with tens and hundreds on each event, thus giving an additional motivation to play.
    2. Only up to level 30 will it be upgraded to dollars at much smaller amounts than before = only tens of millions of dollars.
    3. From level 31, the update will be made on diamonds at reasonable amounts, which will not explode at high levels, with examples (at level 31 a few hundred, at level 41, 1050 diamonds etc etc)
    4. Playing beautifully at events and dreams, you will soon be able to reach the top of the laboratory where you no longer have to stay 24 hours to make a gold box, in which to find 5 greenhouse algae, but now you will be able to manufacture a gold icense in just 8 minutes - of course those catalysts are difficult to obtain, for the license, but its production times are short so that you can produce as varied as possible)
    5. A lot of boosters, produced at levels that can be reached quickly - 60, and the possibility of using them whenever you want, to give an even more beautiful experience to the game.
    In the next 2 weeks we will update the list of awards at events and you will be able to see the multitude of catalysts that you will be able to win. "
    I ended the short presentation ...

    Such a communication would have made the update be seen as a positive one and give a big boost to the game.
    Too bad, the lack of professionalism on the communication side, because as things seem in this mom, at this gross lack of communication, it seems a HUGE DISASTER ... to be unable to produce the usual blue food, when see at cc in the gold league just 19 catalysts for example.

    Good luck everyone!

  • If the construction has been reduced, then I have no problem at all. :D I thought it was too costly to upgrade it till level 20 and all. And that's why I was angry. I'm so sorry for saying it as the "worst" update.
  • AHC (US1)AHC (US1) US1 Posts: 36
    Well no surprise GGS has again shown they are nothing but greedy.  You take away what players have already earned or paid for and wrap it in some nonsense about making the game better.  In what alternate reality do you take away things purchased and replace it with crap.  GGs is too big and bloated to realize they're busying ruining the game for profit.  Players opinions mean nothing because GGS figures this will "blow over".   I suppose it's time to think about finding a different game.

    change to the Lab needs to be rethought, want a disaster.

    We should have the option to store our labs. Mine are now worthless. I have a nursery on 3 farms, "the great rewards" did consist of  a lot of special seeds, I am not making more special seeds, and there is nothing else to make. No reason for 3 labs if this is the junk we can make.

    They must be trying to make us quit playing. This sure wasn't an upgrade to please the players.

    Worst update!! I agree with most above.... as for needing catalyst now for the lab, going to be slow going... just went thru how many rare catalyst (for premium feeds) you can get in Gold League CC... a total of 188.  That won't last long and definitely won't keep three labs running 24/7... 

    EDIT:

    @Exxy (INT1) tell me how you think it is worth getting 188 rare catalyser in one CC when it costs 384 rare catalyser to produce 120 premium duck feed???

    This is  a freakin joke!!!

    You will get them when harvesting the fruits from the orchards, according to the barn descriptions. I've tried and I received 30 when harvesting apples but not when harvesting almonds. 
  • So NOT happy with the new farm lab!!!   I had to use almost all of my BF dollars to get back to where I can make premium duck feed NOW I need the catalysts.  Change my labs back please  GGS  :( 
  • thanks found my sugar now 
  • Barb66 (US1)Barb66 (US1) US1 Posts: 57
    another huge disappointment GGS. The lab is now nothing more than the nursery for special seeds which I do not need right now. I need to be able to make premium feed and fertilizers. 
    And about the jam factory. Mandatory to build to be able to fill the boat to the boat. I need apple jam and can't even buy it to fill the boat. I'm close to closing down the farms and moving on the something else for entertainment. I've been spending real dollars to play ... no more.

    @JVD (US1)

    I understand, you dont get enough , for Cow and Duck feed  ( its probably both the worst ratio's )

    I think they are trying to return premium, to premium category

    While we all know, that Premium was easily the standard for everyone, just before this update

    The difference between using Premium and Regular feed , isnt that much of a killer if u ask me

    There is also now more and more access to Orange feed 

    And this issue, about catalysts can easily be fixed over time , if they judge, its really not enough being awarded ;p

    Ill never understand why majority of people , gives so much importance to very minor things , and tends to ignore fairly major things ;p

    Must be how it is :) ha ha
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    @Exxy (INT1) I really don't see any major good  with this update.... while the change is not a "killer" as you say... it is something the GGS has basically ruined by the fact that I could create premium before update... now I have to UPGRADE the lab again just to do what I was already able  to do...

    I have no  need to make seeds in lab, I have a nursery for that... what is the point here?

    There have always been lots of things that could be made in the lab if you wished to upgrade it.... personally I went as far as premium goods and stopped there... all  depends how you wish to play of course.

    Sorry, embellish it all you want Exxy, but this is a big slap in the face... IMHO! 

    glad you enjoy it!

    I honestly dont mind the new donkey house or the jam building, but honestly i dont really like the new farm lab. I had my farm lab to lvl 11 on my mf and it could make all the premium feed i needed. Now i have to upgrade it to lvl 18 just to get the premium duck feed. Good news for me i had a ton saved up like 20k and ive been making it forever, so now i have some to last me for a while until if/when i upgrade my lab to lvl 18. I definetly wont upgrade it past lvl 20 b/c its gonna cost so much and it prob wont even be worth it in my opinion. But thats just my thoughts on it
  • Ladyoz (US1)Ladyoz (US1) US1 Posts: 155
    Well I think this will be the end for me with this game. I've spent real money to get my farms where they are and now everything they update seems aimed at rich players who can afford to regularly spend hundreds. I'll play until what gold and resources I have are gone, then I'm done. There is no fun in this game any more, at least not that I can afford.
  • john207 (US1)john207 (US1) US1 Posts: 16
    well i'am sorry but what did you expect them to do ? you buy boosters to win hwe, and ccs and every other event, now you'll have to buy catalyst, big surprise, o-ya they will give you some as a reward but no way  it will be enough , this is a business to them and there just giving us the business, you want to win well they have a booster for that,that's got a name it's called pay to win and anyone can play , just send them your credit card number and you can be top dog too , at least until the next challenge starts,yes this is ruining a fun game but there making a fortune off your spending big bucks, you and i know how to change it STOP BUYING GOLD,
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    Look at the upgrade price's they dropped, but we did build it at the high cost proces any compensation about that.

    source crazybigfarm.net


    Here are the new costs for lvl 12 thu lvl 17:

    to get your lab to lvl 17 to be able to produce premium goods

    lvl12: 32 mil cash or 5819 gold.
    lvl13: 36 mil cash or 6546 gold
    lvl14: 40 mil cash or 7273 gold
    lvl15: 44 mil cash or 8000 gold
    lvl16: 48 mil cash or 8728 gold
    lvl17: 52 mil cash or 9455 gold
  • No premium animal feed until Level whatever.  What?  This is ridiculous and mean.  How many employees, in an actual work environment, would stay with a company that started taking away benefits?  Any smart company knows that's the best way to lower morale.

    And don't forget how much farm cash we had to spend to level those labs to do what we can't do anymore.

    Somebody has good happy pills and better share if they see any good about this.
  • harden21 (US1)harden21 (US1) US1 Posts: 32
    This is just so ridiculus. Ive nvr bought gold on this game and i plan on keeping it that way.When i started off i told my self to nvr buy gold cuz i know how fast it can burn down ur real money. This is just there way of making us spend more real money on gold. I have other things to spend my money on. To me, its not bad enough to make me stop playing the game yet but it sure is getting close to making me quit. 

    I think theres a point when ur trying too hard to make the players spend more of their real money and yall have definently passed that point.

    Could yall pls change the farm lab back to how it was? Or at least make it where u dont have to get the lab to lvl 18 just so u can make the blue duck feed??

    Yall are already losing a ton of high lvl players cuz yall r getting desprate on players to spend more money on gold if this keeps going on theres gonna be no one left to play at all. Pls fix this

    Who remembers the days when we used to know what was coming up in a update way before the update so it could be discussed 

    Then issues like this could be highlighted by the players who play the game
