    Just read Bundy4 post...sorry to see you go...enjoyed your insight. I did research and found a comment by someone saying there are a few perks working there..."free muesli, milk, fruits tee (their misspelling..tea I think), coffee and beer...geez free beer...I don't even get a free soft drink. Beer in the work place...great...some of my best ideas have come after a 6 pack...like when I bought that used car for a great price, but found out there was no engine or the time I thought it be a good idea to walk backwards down a set of stairs..only in the E.R. for 8 hours. So beer while you're at work...be right back going to check the sofa for lose change and get a plane ticket...going for a job interview...free beer geez.. Be safe and hug your boss you never know you might get a 6 pack....

    Try to be a little more constructive guys :)

    Please don’t attack other players for speaking their mind – being for or against the changes.
    You can only achieve making others angry or sad – it won’t bring things back to what they used to be or give you any new benefits in Bigfarm.

    If you don't like the recent changes, then address the ones, who are responsible (GGS) in a polite and constructive manner without name-calling and referencing issues, that aren’t related to the decisions that have been made regarding these changes.
    The GGS are the only ones, who can take back the changes or make them less annoying ;)

    If Gourmet-farm is almost a copy from the 1st farm, and they are supposted to assist eachother - then why not have a nursery and collectors-items available on the Gourmet-farm, too?

    Hopefully yes - but right now to fix it you need to sell off some of the muffins. If that does not fix it, then sell some of your other baked goods - it is registering that the inventory is full.

    So.... they only fix is to sell off goods AT A LOSS??? Or put up with the bakery bug for a few more days.
    I'll put up.


    I tell ya, this "improved" farm NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ROLLED OUT! Clearly it was not ready.
    CLEARLY NO ONE BOTHERED TO TEST IT!

    I would think the huge embarrassment of rolling out a bakery with numbers in the loss range would be something they would want to get fixed within 24 hours. Not a WEEK!

    And what you all never see is all the players who never visit this forum. I'm in three coops. ALL THREE have players who figured out the bakery is loosing money. Some have just torn it down. The gourmet farm is now a poo farm. Yea, gourmet poop. I tried to tell people this will be fixed. One comment back is "how did such a mistake happen in the first place?"
    I had no answer for that. 3rd grade math drop outs perhaps? Maybe greed? Too busy figuring out ways to force people to spend money to bother putting out a quality product?

    Go back to grade school. PASS a basic math class or two. Then try a marketing class.
    UNHAPPY or confused customers, means lost customers. At least in two of the coops I'm in, membership has dropped. Granted that's a small percentage of everyone who plays this, but still. The complaints are the same here as in the coop chat. And lots of those folks never read this stuff. What are you doing?


    GG... you really aught to put a big universal NO sign over the bakery until you get it fixed. Or at least one of your flashing annoying things for people to read that yes it's broken, yes you know, yes it will be fixed. Just hold off on using it for now.

    :(

    For starters, you might want to take a look at how long it takes to mill the feeds, let alone grow the feedcrops. It takes longer to mill donkey feed than cow feed, but donkeys cycle twice as often as cows.

    Milling 30 bags of donkey feed in a Level 5 mill takes 4 hours, but those 3 stables full of donkeys will be ready to eat again in 3-1/2 hours. With a level 5 water tower, the donkeys would require half as much feed, so milling for 4 hours could feed them for 7 hours.

    Ducks cycle every 8 hours, and their feed takes a little less than an hour, so milling duck feed for a little less than 3 hours would feed one duck coop for a day.

    Goats cycle every 52 minutes, and their feed takes 8 minutes to mill, so supplying 3 goat stables with feed will require you to mill goat feed for 24 minutes out of every 52 minutes you are logged in.

    A water tower will reduce the amount of feed required by the animals (and fertilizer required by orchards), and a workshop reduces the amount of feedcrops needed by the mill (also dung required by the silo and leaves required by the composter).

    I don't know your play patterns - how often you login, how long you play at a time, etc. - so I can't offer any specific suggestions, but I would guess you have more stables than the mill can support.

    :(

    With a level 5 mill and mostly level 4 gardens, I can keep up with my 3 goats during the day as long as I'm not milling or growing anything else while I'm active.

    For donkeys, you definitely want your gardens at least level 3; barley production jumps from 39 to 51 there. I demolished my donkey anyway after I considered the production cycles for them; I think I only built it at all because of its info typo (now fixed) saying it gave 1102 dung at level 1.

    I'm still considering whether I want to bother building a duck. I definitely won't do it at all until all 5 of my gardens are level 4. The level 5 mill uses 105 lamb's lettuce per batch of duck feed, so with the gardens at 124 lamb's lettuce, I can only get almost 6 batches of duck feed per night, but that would support 3 ducks, or almost 2 if I'm good about reliably getting online every 8 hours. Level 7 gardens plus level 6 mill will produce 8 batches of duck feed overnight (I'm ignoring the "max 200" on the mill because you need many more gardens to produce that much lamb's lettuce), but it will take quite a while to get enough architect visits for that. Plus, I'm broke again anyway, and it will take me a lot longer now to earn my building costs. Gotta work on the flower farm some more...as soon as I scrape together enough money...

    Great post, Rusty!

    l think it will become more gourmet as time progresses....I love the gourmet concept so I'm hoping it retains the name.

    Love,

    montous thanks a lot for your suggestion bt smthing is stucked i my mind that donkey feed shd take lesser time than duck feed,
    in MF with level6 mill I produce cow feed in 40 mins which produces milk for 7 hrs
    here i produce donkey feed in 1.20 hrs for 3.30 hrs production
    :)
    still trying to figure out best combination
    or in last i will demolish one or more stables
    :)

    Did you post this from the pool? ;)

    I'm actually liking the new gourmet farm. A lot. And I'm not one who likes change that much. Completely new strategy in the works for me and that is what I really like about this game. And what I really really like is that I can now use the gf to the benefit of my co-op. We do a LOT of milk and eggs.

    For gourmet to truly be an extension of the main farm all production facilities, stables, and orchards should drop collectibles. Whats the point of being able to use the milk and eggs from gourmet for coop projects when there's no collectibles left to start more of them. Current pricing for buying collectibles is bordering on stupid, it always has been.
