I am sorry, I wish I could say I’m excited about something, but I wouldn’t be being honest.
By the sounds of this, they’re not actually changing the lab, which is what the last message from a CM sounded like. They added more catalyst for rewards & fixed to where the lab will drop WWC pellets again. This may seem like a nice gesture, but I have yet to see enough catalyst to run the lab enough for that to make a difference in WWC points. There was no mention about event items returning as drops from the lab. Still keeping hope for a huge re-work of the lab (or better yet, just returning the old one).
2 types of jams being added as missions. Well, that will make me rethink adding a 2nd jam factory, but still having issues with sugar so this might get tricky. I’m not sure yet what I think about apples & dandelions for missions. Will need to hold apples until a mission pops up for them, but then again need to harvest them as often as possible to get the sugar for the jam factory (and round and round we go). This of course messes with setup I have now & have become accustomed to, but I’m still trying to readjust farms & play style from the last update - - I guess I’ll just swipe that blueprint & start again. Sigh.
Starting those jam missions for players level 40 when they can’t build the stackmaster until level 81 is going to be quite tough for a lot of low level players who don’t have the space, nor orchards, nor seeds yet to build or keep the jam factory running . Something in there should be re-thought. The temp farms are too expensive for them to work yet, and adding missions they can’t compete in will be more likely to drive more away rather than make them work hard to improve their farms. I can imagine they’ll feel quite defeated.
apples, dandelons and two jams
The Boosterboard changes look interesting. Previously I looked at how it worked and never bothered using it. This looks more usable.
More mission types will definitely add interest and jam missions could be quite challenging. I foresee more cherry orchards
My Greenhouse runs special seeds most of the time and the extra fruit requirements for jam are making it difficult. I'm not sure that premium seeds will address the problem. 10% shorter growing times would be more useful.
I don't have a Lab yet so catalysts just accrue
Overall it looks pretty good to me
Edited
I've just seen the Greenhouse, these are not "Premium" seeds as we know them, these are "Event" seeds. They look really good with much longer run times perfect for overnight running
My personal understanding of that is it would be a few months and not in February's update
Fingers crossed for next month
I would like the ability to remove boosters but it won't let us but rather just replace them. I am trying to see if they make a difference. I don't think they do.
Am also unable to edit and remove existing boosters already on booster board....
Again - in all fairness - was at Level 2 alfalfa before update... now I will not be able to get there again - significant $$ to buy level one and then excessive amount of gold to increase level??? I suppose that's the price of the permanency of the booster....
OK... I have researched a little further to see the correlation between achievement board and boosters available (by clicking on each achievement sticker)... I can see that I've obtained certain "access" to boosters that are available to me for either regular $$ or gold...
however on achievement board I am at level 10 for pigs... all I can get is access to "cabbage" or "cabbage/pig" booster??? I cannot even obtain level 1 pig booster??? ...makes no sense to me... smh
also making an offical statement form the dev's could make some things more relaxed. Let us see we do matter for them instead as just moneypits !
@mort@"Morti (SKN1)" This is an English only forum and I need to ask you to use English in future. There are many translators out there. Google translate is popular
But I hate got jam in my missions, blääää and I try it and it does not give me much point, the wildflower gives me much better. Then it impossible to got enough jam for the miss because of the berries and the other materials it need ant the time to and for make enough jam you should use gold what I will not do for them.
And the apples, not good too! It takes -3- hours to my apple tree get ready! How would that work in a 30-minute mission?
Hope it comes work, had one dandelion om miss but my gardens were currently busy
Can you shed any light on this??? Thank you!
