    Also missions are still unbalanced. I am level 59 going against levels 102,98, 88 I can't compete with them. I won't be doing any more.

    Thank you Ingse3. :)
    Where do you find these informations?

    Aha... Have found it by myself now. :)
    I would not hit the first green bottun, as long I think it maybe cost some gold

    This was meant as a reply to you, BriannospamGame2
    Click on the garage, then select the machine you want to build/upgrade. In the lower right corner you'll have a button (labeled "build" or "upgrade") similar to that for collection items for a project. When you click that button, it pops up a window (as with projects) showing you the items you need and how many of those items you have on-hand. I think all machines will have dollars, certificates, and tools.
    In a separate but related note, I've done a lot of harvesting so far today after the 'upgrade', and have seen nary a tool drop. Not too encouraging.

    I am at lvl 3 on the first machine now. The lvls take 30 min, 1 hour and 2 hours for the third one to build.

    I like this update, long waited for. Already got my first machine. But not get any tools so far, so can't do any upgrading or buy a next machine.

    Is this a bug or a lack of patience from my side?

    Greetz, Elisa

    The tools drop when harvesting your farm. You also have to do some missions and the reward from some of them are tool.
    There is also an option to buy tools for gold, but as always if you are patient you can do just as well without doing that :)

    Farm structures have nothing to do with garage builds, they do not conflict.

    IMO, this garage feature will increase the number of gold spender, then more feature, then again more gold spender and so on...

    No need. You seem to be able to build machines while building/upgrading something else.

    Think you all have a bug, not a single tool has dropped yet and I have harvested and harvested.

    Davidmackv, tools are not supposed to drop after every action on your farm. They are supposed to be rare, but not impossible to get. Give it some time. You will find some eventually. :)

    On what farm is happiness increased by the machine?
    It didnt' seem to change the happiness on my flower farm.

    Farm machines only affect the farms displayed in the upper right corner of each machine. The Happiness machine's effect only works for the main farm, the certificate one is global, etc. :)

    what do the machines in the garage do exactly ? what are they used for ?

    uksharon3, please click on each machine to see the description on the right. It will show effects and a small text to go with them, so you know what they're enhancing. ;)

    After the first task, how do you get the tools?

    Tools drop randomly, from your animals, silo and composter of the main farm, jatoda.
    Where can I find out what it cost to build that tractor?
    How many dollars, certificates and gold?

    Just click on one of the machines, then on "construct" or "upgrade" and then a dialogue will pop up showing you all the prices.

    This. The only way you can win missions is to spend tons of gold. They keep placing me with farmers 50 levels higher than me and the only way I can beat them is spend gold. Not gonna happen. I am through with missions until it is corrected.

    I harvested my entire farm and have harvested and harvested during three missions and not a single tool, that is rare especially considering Machine 2 takes 50. This is not acceptable.

    Collectibles drop rate seems to be affected by this update. I have 12 chicken coops and before the update I would get at least 2 collectibles per egg collect. Now after 6 rounds of collection (72 coops) I found 1 tool box and 1 team work. Collected feed from mill three times since update and not one collectible or tool box drop....is this a bug?

    I usually get paired with higher level farmers too. And surprisingly, I occasionally win, although mostly not. It doesn't matter to me. I don't care about winning, I just want to get certificates. And I get them even if I come in last, so I'll continue with the missions.

    There is no reason to win missions.One of the best player on my server has not spent any gold at all in missions. He just do a lot of them and that has given him over 14000 cert. so far. I have spent gold a few times, think it is 5 or 6 times, but not any more. I have over 9000 cert. and do not care if i win or get a 6 place in the missions i do.

    "Just click on the machine and it will tell you about it"... well until you do the PREVIOUS machine, it will not allow me to even click on the next one to find out what it does. I have no interest in higher reputation points, but I must build this machine to see what the next one does? I cannot find in the official announcements anywhere that it says which machine does what. Hopefully someone that went through this quickly will let us know which machine corresponds to what "upgrade" it gives you.

    I just did a mission and finished 3rd and only got 4 certs and before that I got 5th and got 2 certs. Getting 2 certs for 30 minute mission when upgrade take 300 certs is 75 hours worth of missions.

    Well, the 3rd one is multifarmer and I guess it is for getting more workers.

    I can already tell you that the amount of tools needed for the first stage of each machine is a lot higher than for all the following stages, whereas the amount of certificates needed will increase..
    So once you have the first stage built, it will be a lot easier to achieve the upcoming stages. ;)

    If you take a look at the official announcement, the machines are named in the same order as you unlock them. :)
    What you can't find in there, though, are the numbers, but I'm sure someone will collect those anyway. :D

    I like the deco tower in 'My Village' much better :)

    I would like to suggest that when we move the cursor over the garage we can see how much time is left to build our machines. I just clicked the garage to check the time and a ring popped up and my cursor was on the skip button. I didn't click it but if had doubled clicked then BAM gold gone! I know to be careful about it now but it would be nice if we could see the time without clicking the garage. :)

    thank you tampoon, at least maybe we can get more workers before more reputation points... honestly I don't see the value of getting more rep points, it just thrusts you in a level with those that collect 87,000 wildflowers.

    Edit: Nafaru said they are by order listed in the official announcement. However, reputation bonus is listed third in the official announcement, therefore would think it would come third. Strange they would label a reputation maker machine "mutifarmer" tho....

    Davidmackv: I have fields with spesial seeds prepared and try to have eggs and as much manure ready to be harvested as possible when i do missions.
    I get just 3 or 4 certs some of the times i do missions, but if i am lucky and every thing goes my way i can get as many as 70 certs in a mission.

    Has the collectibles drop rate been affected by this update?
    Haven't received any collectibles at all from chicken coops; pig sty or cow shed since update.
    Have cleared caches but has made no difference.

    I do this also. I did not harvest any dung facilities until mission and still only got 7. I also use special seeds with humus. Still cannot compete with people 40-50 levels higher than me and the gold spenders. I buy gold, but I do not waste it on missions. I use it for buildings.

    I think it might help to upgrade your farms. Maybe demolish one or two of your appleorchards if you do not have available workers and upgrade the chickens and cows to max lvls. And get another donkey on your gfarm :)
