    I hate this also. I really don't understand why they can't give us one building slot per farm that makes sense. Very annoying. I usually deal with this by trying to do the shorter upgrades and building while I'm playing you know under 2 hours and then before I leave do the long ones. I hate it, but if they aren't going to change this then I will just have to deal best I can. If it doesn't cost much in coins I'll fast forward, but not very often.

    they will not be changing it.

    There is no limit on how fast you can build your farm....as long as you have the money or gold to keep building.

    if the slot is busy and you want to do another building...the means are there to skip it. Voila!...another building slot!

    Therefore...more building slots is an unreachable dream!

    I used to be annoyed with the single building spot. I was very eager to move forward since I had so much fun.
    But recently I've been thinking that it's a good thing I can't build on all farms at once because that way I would run out of things to build sooner than expected and all that would be left for me to do is gathering production. I think I would get very bored.. :p

    Building should not be just 1 for all farms. Should be 1 for each farm you have, so we can have if need be 3 farms with 3 building plots on the go at the same time. At the moment I have main farm, Gourmet and Norse farm. So give us the option to have 3 plots which can be built on at the same time.
    Many thanks

    Would be nice to receive more bonuses to our email accounts to help boost production. I cannot afford to add cash to get more gold coins.

    The first one has been suggested often and won't happen. It's part of the strategy to plan where you want to build what.

    Build and Upgrade as many as possible not only once. It's frustrating that you need to wait for an hour before you can build or upgrade in your farm. Can we just build and upgrade all of them, because it's a waste of time waiting for an hour to almost half of the day before you can move on to the other. Please fix these. It's so agitating. X(

    Are you talking about adding another building slot? Won't happen. It's part of the strategy of the game. The next upgrade on my bakery is nearly 17 hours...

    Everything doesn't have to be finished at once.

    I don't understand why people feel the need to hurry thru this game. I've been playing for over a year and I still have upgrades to do to many buildings. I like the slow build and the strategy you must employ to upgrade the buildings in the order that help you the most. You will find as you move up in levels the upgrades for all buildings get pretty expensive and I doubt that most of us would have enough farm dollars to keep 3 building upgrades going at once. If you have to have everything at once, just buy the gold and hurry everything up. But then you're going to sit at your screen and wonder why the game has become soooo boring.

    To help with the frustration of having to wait for a building to be built/upgraded from one farm before another can be built in a different farm, would it be possible to have separate Build Areas in EACH farm. This would aid progression in the game enormously.

    This has been suggested many times in the past, but it's doubtful it will happen. This game is one of not only strategy, but time management, and using your time wisely in building is all part of the game. And a single building slot gets more players to spend gold to hurry up building. :)

    Why is it we have different places to work yet we can only build one item regardless of the place. I think we should be able to build on item on each site as long as we have enough money and required workers.:huh::S

    I think it would be good for GGS to consider having a temporary construction slot for the temporary farm/island for the first 48 hours after it is started, or for lower level players to help encourage get into it.

    Hey Everyone!
    I get frustrated when I need to build something because I know until that building is done I can't build anything on any of my other farms! I would like Big Farm to consider modifying t building tab so we can a least build one thin at a time PER FARM!!!! This would be very helpful! Thanks for reading!

  • at least maybe one slot per farm, ie, regular, candy etc.  that way we dont have to swap between them to see which is the shortest build time for next item?

    not only 48hrs , those r not there in those days then for those it is same , i think new slot for temporary farm is good  but minimum amount of 20 days

    I I agree it seems like it would be a good idea to have more than 1 building slot, but people need to look at the cost of upgrades after a certain point, they are not bad at first but at the higher levels are expensive esecially if you start adding what you have on the farm total to do. I just went thru 100 mill doing around 6 upgrades and do not care when the archimatect comes back because all i am going to upgrade for now is my houses which are inexpensive. A final note, Budgeting is everything, if I would have waited to upgrade(which is why i do not want more than 1 building slot) I would not have spent so much at 1 time and would not now be down to under 20 mill in the bank

  • I'm a very new player here, so my apologies if I sound brash or am repeating an argument that I've not read so far: I've read all of the various and obvious threads RE the pros and cons of more than one building slot, and for me, whatever the player 'need' is, the imperative is that the 'game' will rely on you/us being frustrated to the point that we spend more rl money on it. For the devs/game: it's great that we have fewer building slots than we want, because we'll have those two glasses of wine too many and buy more gold to speed up everything. I  have no problem with that: this game is their income. However, I do think that there could be a happier building thang: we'd get faster builds, and they would certainly get more rl money from us .. ?
  • @Elanorell (GB1) It is understandable that newer players always think that additional building slots are needed, I think most of us have probably been of that opinion at some point. But it is only during the lower levels when builds & upgrades are cheap & you are in a rush to get your farm looking like a farm, that it would be useful. As you progress, things become WAY more expensive & you wouldn`t have the cash needed to start one building slot, let alone 2, if you have not spent time during those lower levels to save up a mountain of farm dollars.

    It is true that you can speed things up with gold, but even that has its drawbacks. For example, you can buy your 2nd or 3rd farms earlier with gold instead of waiting to use cash, the same is true with buying new land plots & you can use gold to speed up building or upgrading, but you can only unlock new buildings or upgrade levels by levelling up & so if you rush through everything, you have nothing left to do until you level up & unlock something new & so your building slots would sit idle.

    Basically the game is designed to progress at a certain pace. Be patient, plan your farm to be as profitable as possible, for whatever level you are at & you will soon be at a point where the 1 slot makes more sense. Having said that, I do think there should be a 2nd slot for temporary farms, especially at levels where players are still developing their main farms, but thats a whole other issue. :)
  • Thank you for your response. I do agree in a way: if you rush ahead on upgrading, then you miss the learning stages which teach you how to be good at this particular building game. I do think that it would be helpful though to be able to upgrade a building AND create a decoration, or as you say and I just opened: the gourmet/temporary farm. *Sigh*. 

    I don't quite agree with you on the 'spend gold to improve' angle: this game has more point of sale imperatives for rl money than many others I've played. However: it's a lovely game, and I'm really delighted to have found it. 

    I just want a second building slot, that's all ... *grump* ;)
  • @Elanorell (GB1)  I have to agree when it comes to decorations, it would be nice to be able to still play around with them while waiting for a build or upgrade to finish, especially when some of them take a ridiculously long time to build. I think you may have misunderstood me about the temporary farms though, as it sounds like you are not on level 30 yet. The Gourmet farm is a permanant one, as is the Flower farm which you get at level 40 (or level 35 if you use gold) but when you reach level 30, your airport will unlock whenever there is a temporary farm event, where you build up a farm for 30 days & then it all disappears & you start from scratch the next time it comes around.(Tropical Island Farm, Viking Farm, Northern Lights farm, Candy farm, Festive Farm) My advice would be not to even open the airport before level 70, some would say not even then, because the temp farms will suck your cash supply dry, will occupy your building slot for 30 days & will permamantly change your ship. There is a lot of info on them on the forums that it would be wise to read before attempting one. :)

  • RunsWivScissors I think I owe you a HUGE ty for the info RE temporary farms, and even more so for the tip about not opening your airport until level 70 or after. It's such a temptation: one's own airport! :) But .. no. I'll read up a lot more, and thank you again, no doubt, over the next few weeks while I level up :):)

    well i  have more a request than a wish of i want to see as a theme,
    and that is to have the possibility to have 2 upgrade like 1 horse upgrade a 1 farm for 
    example 1 showjumping and a windmill.


    at the same time

  • It doesn't bother me that we only have 1 construction slot, I've gotten use to it. However I think it would be a good idea to have a sec one that arrive and leaves with the architect, so that when he's there you have a slot that can be used for architect upgrades. As most of us have had something building and the architect arrives and we cannot use the architect but for the rest of the time it's good only having 1 slot it allows us to save some dollars.

    I think this would be a nice compromise.

    What a brilliant idea !!!  I do hope they consider this !!  Smiley
  • Why won't the game let us build on more than one farm at once and why take 1-2 days in some cases to build.  By that time you miss the architect.

    I have suggested this many times but the organizers of this game don't listen.  WE need to be able to build on more than one farm at a time.  Be better for th players.

    We also need a market for co-ops to trade collectibles they are not using for ones they need.

    suggestions go unanswered by the forces that be.

    Never going to happen! That is part of the time management for this game and a part of the strategy. 
  • Please We Rely Rely Need to can Upgrade At lest 3 Things in same Time it takes Ages to do One Thing and Sometime Miss out or Loose on Mission Because Upgrades ...So Please let us Upgrade Moore Things in same Time so we Acctualy Can  have Fun with this Game instead of Being Annoyed to wait for Upgrades to Finish!!!!!  Thank you very Much in Advanced!!
  • I have to agree with Kristina here. Progress is painfully slow. Surely an option to juggle upgrades would be more enjoyable than just constantly waiting for one. Frustrating doesn't describe it.

    Please consider at least one more upgrade slot.
  • If you could do multiple upgrades or quicker upgrades, GGS would not make any money from people using gold to speed them up.
