Even if it was, I would have gone the path of the water tower because it reduces the amount of product you need for both your animals and your orchards.
I'm going to soon upgrade my work shop though, just to ensure I have enough poop for all my orchards.
Kat.
Because it is cheaper to buy a second then to upgrade my first water tower that I already bought.
Level 1 - 1300 golds - Unlocks on Level 15
Level 2 - 7400 golds - Unlocks on Level 19
Level 3 - 13,000 golds - Unlocks on Level 23
Level 4 - 24,800 golds - Unlocks on Level 27
Level 5 - 29,500 golds - Unlocks on Level 31
Most players are wondering about gold. Should they buy it or not, are they able to continue the game without gold and if they buy it, what should they spend it on?
Here’s a tip! The water tower is THE best building to spend your gold on first. It reduces the amount of feed and fertilizer you need to supply your animals and orchards with.
In short:
100% = no water tower = 10 feed and fertilizer needed (30 for cherries)
90% = level 1 water tower = 9 feed and fertilizer needed (27 for cherries)
80% = level 2 water tower = 8 feed and fertilizer needed (24 for cherries)
70% = level 3 water tower = 7 feed and fertilizer needed (21 for cherries)
60% = level 4 water tower = 6 feed and fertilizer needed (18 for cherries)
50% = level 5 water tower = 5 feed and fertilizer needed (15 for cherries)
Some people are wondering how much this costs. Here are the costs for every upgrade of the water tower:
Level 1 costs 1300 gold and is available at level 15
Level 2 costs 7400 gold and is available at level 19
Level 3 costs 13000 gold and is available at level 23
Level 4 costs 24800 gold and is available at level 27
Level 5 costs 29500 gold and is available at level 31
Yes, it is a lot of money, 76000 gold total!
However, if this amount of money is about to stop you from buying the water tower, please keep in mind that 1 level already makes a big difference. Therefore, investing in one or two levels of the water tower pays off very well and I recommend you buy them with the gold you start with as soon as possible. This way you don’t even need to spend any real money on this game and still make a huge impact on the running of your farm.
The Larino cooperative
I totally, fully, completely agree with Larino! Even at lvl 1 the watertower makes a looot of difference! One of my coop friends, the one I talked into playing was very unsure about making a watertower at first. He doesn't buy gold and is very keen on keeping his precious shinies. But he has been so happy he built it! Even at lvl1 it's so worth it.
I myself made a workshop too. It was new and I wanted it For a long time I felt it was just sitting there in the way, and I didn't have the gold to upgrade it. But then my fertilizer started running véry low. And then it díd come in handy, because I needed less poop to make fertilizer. So yes, I am happy with my workshop now too.
But otherwise free gold comes in smaller amounts. Large amounts you have to pay for
I was just giving Larino a hard time since he/she puts so much effort into gathering information for everyone. It is really appreciated.
Also, the water tower already helps a LOT on level 1, so I do not see much trouble not having the gold for the higher levels. I upgraded it to level 2 only on my main farm and think that is enough for now. Also, I am already nearly overflowing with feed and fertilizer, so if I upgrade the water tower even more I will overflow even more as well. My ex-deputy (still so sad that he left ) had upgraded it too far and was even complaining about that because he simply had too much feed and fert.
Yes, that is because of the bonuses you get regardless of prime times. You always get some bonus, the prime time comes on top of those I think. So here is my calculation, in euros:
Water tower gold cost: 74700
Pack €29,99 -> 50000 gold + 24700 gold = €29,99 + €14,82 = €44,81
Pack €4,99 -> 6500 gold x 11 + 3500 gold = €54,89 + €2,46 = €57,35
BUT:
Pack €29,99 without 28% bonus: 39063 gold + 35637 gold = €29,99 + €27,36 = €57,35
Which is exactly the same as the low package. (I did round off to 2 decimals during my calculations)
I would not say it is useless, but for beginning players and the ones that do not want to spend too much gold it is less useful as the water tower.
Personally I would not upgrade the water tower to level 5 (it has been level 2 for a long time now on my farm). Level 5 may cause you to overflow in feed rather than helping to keep up with it. Although, if you have enough animals to consume the feed, it may be helpful. In fact, I would only upgrade the water tower when you feel your feed stock is depleting too fast and stop the upgrading for a while when it is balanced.
Same for the workshop. I would upgrade it if the mill and the silo cannot keep up with the demand of your animals and orchards. If that is balanced, I would leave it like it is.
