    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 :)

    My farm is geared to make cash not win missions.

    Hey David,
    It's not really set up for you to make cash. It's geared for you to spend gold.

    I took first place in a mission and got 5 certificates for it. Is this how many you get for first place? I was getting more when the garage wasn't even built yet in 4th place. I haven't found any tools yet either and I have been on here for about 3 hours already. This is not so great. I don't know if it is actually worth doing the missions if the rewards are so low and the tools are that hard to find. The garage is a nice deco though. That is what I will consider it to be and forget about the missions if this is how difficult it is going to be for getting the things you need for building in the garage. I won't use gold either for buying tools when I can use it for more important things.

    These missions are really not that much different than the old ones. Yes, you actually get something besides reputation but you still have to spend gold to get those things in any reasonable amount of time. I got 4th place in a mission because I wasn't using gold like the 3 players above me and I got 1 certificate. ONE. So, it's either a gold grab or a waste of time. My farm will function fine without any farm machines, I'm sure.

    The bigger amount you collected the more certificates you receiving. If you don't want to do missions for 1-5, try your luck when you need to harvest your stables, and if you are lucky you will get 50+ just for it.

    And for flovers and corn you can receive 1-7 certificates, or you will have special seeds then you will have more. With dung and eggs you will receive minimum 5 or more even if you are last.

    I like this update and new bonuses.

    But before update a got 61 certificates for 1 place in dung mission (all stables), and now only 33 certificates for the same result.
    You changed the prize amount, not good.

    If you speaking about fair or not, now it's totaly unfair. If someone in firs place will make 2000 corns then one in second place will receive 2 or 3, and everyone in line will receive 1. If someone "really" want's to win lots off sertificates, then is no reason to do more than once, you will receive same amount.

    Where is the upgrade button in the garage? I am supposed to upgrade the tractor, but when I go to the garage I only see a build button. If I click on that I get an error message saying I've already built the tractor.

    Just did a corn mission and finished 5th place with 1100 units of corn. First place finished with well over 15000 units of corn. Second place was barely over 3,000 units. I got 2 certificates. This really silly but I know that there isn't any way Big Farm can fairly distribute heavy gold users in these missions. I agree that certificates should be allotted in a better way. It will take MANY HOURS of missions just to get the number of certificates to build the farm machines.

    The gold spending element is pretty evident here. Buying tools for 2000 gold, missions being finished with gold.

    Let's hope that with all this dissatisfaction, they'll figure out a better formula for the certificate prizes, otherwise people might start to lose interest, whether it is by not playing as much or quitting altogether. I hope that each time we get a new element added to this game, that I don't lose coop members who are tired of seeing their game grow more and more out of their spending means.

    Since there are needed so many certificates to get the machines, I'm agree with everybody who means the wild flower and the corn missions gives to few certicates for all the time and work we use to playing these missions.

    If there (as in the old missions) was an "skip mission" button I will use it in flower and corn missions.

    And I don't really like new graphik update... now when I log in, in game I feel like I lost something - May plane flew away, and airfield grow weeds... Ship departed I not ever see what inside... Greenhouse is out off orders...
    I know you wanted to do like everything will be in the future, but I see just ... well...

    Yes I have also came across this same issue. Can with certainty say that I received about half of what I got before for first in eggs with same amounts collected and competition. Wondering if a mod has any info on formula changes as well?

    Ok, I kept out of this until I could at least give it a try.

    PFFFFTTTTT!!!!!!!!! :thumbdown:


    I have three farms. (Yes three servers.) First thing this morning, without harvesting anything. And I had special corn in at least one field for each just in case. I got into my three missions.
    Two for eggs, one for corn. I came in first or second for all three. Got my tractor started.

    As soon as the missions ended, I searched for a second. Still not harvesting anything other than what I was doing for my first mission.
    Well....
    Two of my three farms GOT THE EXACT SAME MISSION! Great! Flipping swell. My gourmet eggs, which take HOURS to produce, were already used on the first mission.
    Still... I managed to at least place in the top three. Got a couple certs. Big whip.

    The third farm got wildflowers to grow. So for about a half hour I sat here planting, fertalizing, and harvesting stupid flowers every two min. Even spent a few coins to speed up a field. Still... I came in fifth.
    I should have placed third. I had a clear lead over the fourth place player. But it seems at the last possible second they must have spent... or saved a special seed field till last.

    But this isn't the worst.
    TWO of these dumb missions in a row, and the little girl on the side bar prompts me to "start a second mission."

    WHAT THE HELL????? I JUST DID A SECOND MISSION.

    One of my three farms is asking me to upgrade the tractor I just finished making. And it will cost ONE HUNDRED certificates?????
    Ok, nothing about this game is fast. But someone explain to me just WHY I need this tractor?
    Without sifting through hundreds of forum posts..... what good is it? I can't even see the thing.
    Tell me why I would want to WASTE an hour out of my morning on this really lame missions.
    Is it worth it? So far I am so not impressed.

    Wondering now how many more of my coop members will just leave. Already lost a bunch.

    If you coop members leave because "event" is not fair for them, it's they bizznes, it's just event, few happines and few vorkers, that's all. Have better stuff to do? Go... I like event's and something what is imposibble it's ever more fun... Well untill I have time for that...

    There will be 4 different types of farm machines you can construct, each has a different effect:
    - happiness (gives extra happiness for your main farm)
    - certificate bonus (increases the amount of certificates you get after each mission)
    - reputation bonus (increases the amount of reputation points you get after each mission)
    - workers (grants some workers for your main farm without needing another residential building and its associated happiness penalty)

    So my happiness is fine for my farm(-79%),I only need certificates to upgrade machinery, I'm not botherered with reputation points and I don't need any workers on my main farm!!
    What is the point of doing these useless missions, trapped at your computer collecting flowers and corn!!

    I for one cannot be bothered

    Woo hoo the tractor gives 42 happiness completely upgraded. I can do one event and do better than that. That is s a lot of time and effort for that.

    Don't do them, for me it's fun, just like architekt upgrades, who will newer pay off. I stay in may farm so whay I can't push one more button every half hour? It's need nothing special to do, you still get sertificates from eggs and dung. Where are you see problem with that?

    Edit: And thank you for 1 more fast-daily mission (I have gold certificate mission, and it's taked 1 place). Now I have all 3 changing missions again, and gold certificate mission. Thank you, now no worries about gold certificate and loosing xp.

    With may fields, 5-lvl6, I would like to say you win just 4 minutes, don't know how much you must win more, maby 500 - 50% to receive more? Maby someone can say who used special seeds?

    This update is cool! I already liked the missions, and don't understand the problems some people have with it. There's nothing to lose by running them non-stop, just don't play or expect to win. See it as an extra harvest every 30 minutes. (I myself play often to win by hoarding dung buildings and planting special seeds, and enjoy it much)

    The classic retro machine looks nice, with those flowers on it. I expected a higher +happiness boost and a lot more materials to build, to make it a real challenge. But i've only seen 1 machine so far, and it's good to know that certs will be used in the future updates.

    Only, the building of the machine isnt quite smoothly, i've had to refresh the game on two occasions to let it start the timer, and finish the upgrade. Minor thing.

    Thanks GGS!


    Edit: too bad about receiving less certs on some missions, but i guess balancing the game is more important than my stock of certs :)
    Edit2: How about we can give our shiny chrome babies a name? Like the dog. Good idea, yes?

    I think the only thing I'm struggling with is getting the tools. I've been playing all morning - harvested most of my farm several times over and have had only one toolbox come up getting milk. I know it's not supposed to come up often but I've gotten many more water-drops for the nursery in the same six hours. Is there any way to find out the general rate for the toolboxes? I have plenty of certs stacked up from playing missions the past few weeks... just stymied on tools.

    Given the rate at which certs and tools seem to be collecting, it's gonna be a really long time before you max out all 4 machines. Took me most of a month to collect 500+ certs and they pretty much got wiped out with the first upgrade. Future upgrades I'm sure will cost even more. so...gonna be a long long time!!!
