Donkey - yay or neigh?
Is the dung worth all the feed and production time? Or can I happily tear down the level 1 donkey and stick to my two goats and two almonds (and three pigs and two apples on MF)?
Comments
YAY!!!!
Watermill
NAY!!!!
The donkey stables are a poop machine especially at full upgrade BUT the time taken to produce enough donkey feed to actually run them (I have 5) is a slow boring process. So its a thumbs up from me for the donkey stables but two thumbs down for the very slow watermill.
Two weeks or so of playing, and in both farms the donkey (lv 1 and 3, IIRC) are worthless, while the ducks on one farm give the same amount of poop and also eggs. Do you still say they are worth less? Because I really think I will tear down the lv 1 donkey tonight and build a duck in its space after all. Can't maintain both and the donkeys are not that much faster - just wanted to check why you were so much less in favour of them!

About the bakery: If you are in a coop where you have resarch some recipes, you bakery wil give profits from level 1.
If no recipes are researched, bakery need to be level 4 before it gives profit on all recipes.
In our coop we have done some rearch in recieps, and my bakery is level 7.
Therefore I theoretical could make 162,46 dollars pr minute by making apple slices. (Only theoretical offcourse, because to do that, I have to start the bakery immediate every time it's finish)
Yes but the ducks give you the same amount of dung, no? That is my question at the moment; we always said donkey is for dung, but ducks are nearly on the level and give eggs that sell for more.
I won't build it. Not even with the new changes. I played it on the other farm which I'm now tearing down completely. The figures already told me, but actual game play showed it is a boring huge draining waste (my co-op will never get far, in both worlds).
Eggsactly - there are no donkey missions, but eggs count. And I don't waste my money and time on upgrade for those few measly xp we get now

Well, no, they don't, unless you're running them inefficiently. The donkeys give twice as much dung, because their cycle is 3.5 hours while the ducks take 8 hours. The difference is even greater from level 4 up; compare 102/113/127/144/160/180/213 dung for donkeys (204/226/254/288/320/360/426 in 7 hours) to 109/115/121/128/135/142/150 for ducks.
Bottom line: If you need more eggs, build ducks. If all you need is more dung, build donkeys. If you build both, you might go nuts trying to mill enough feed for all.
At the moment my ducks dont give me enough dung to all my trees. - Maybee later when I have upgraded the ducks to a higher level? - I have not calculated it yet.
Remember that the need for dung depends on many things:
How many orchards have you?
If you have a water tower, if so what level?
Which level has the silo?
I have so many fruit trees, that I at the moment need the donkeys to produce dung. at least until I have upgraded my 2 duck farms to a higher level than they have now.
*nods* right, in theory, that's why I tried just playing. And when I log in only twice a day, the donkeys can't work that well. I do the donkeys constantly on this farm, but only lv 1, which didn't seem to add much ... I don't need eggs, that's why I first didn't want to build ducks at all, but the coop I inherited does. Thank you for clarifying the dung thing again!!!
So if you want to dominate missions, think about it. If you'd rather the production and revenue, get rid of it.
