Plantations Open Beta started!

[Captain Jack]

Tools are produced by plantations....

Mindblown

Not plantations, workshops.

ie: Anomander Rake (#67203) has started a Workshop at the port of St.Martins!


We could have called the overall category as industries but anyway.

[Captain Jack]

We fixed an issue at bidding system. A few plantation owners might have been affected. To verify if everything is fine, your plantation must have as many acres as your bids are.

We fixed all cases but just in case something does not seem right, you can run the check above. If there is difference, please send a pm to #1 and we will fix it for you.

Question, as I haven't seen anything on this topic:

What happens to the buildings once your 30 day rent runs out and you forget to apply for new plots?

So I know things like this were discussed in Slack. but here we are on day 3 of the release and this is what I am getting already...



I have 22 fleets on a 4 leg trade route bringing in new workers. The numbers have not changed. Shouldn't your health and happiness numbers go up when new worker arrive?



I have tried cutting hours worked back to 4 hours a day and number still go down even with new workers showing up constantly.

Here is my current allocation in case this makes a difference

I know we are in a beta period but a little guidance could go a long way right now.......

I think they should have waived the credit and construction fees for the BETA. It wouldn't have been difficult to implement a fee requirement for those wanting to continue using their plantation when the BETA is over.

Maybe there should be a max worker each acre. this is kind of crazy

Maybe there is..... we don't know.

[PhoenixKnight]

How do we even know how the facilities I proved
D? Is there a viewable metric?

[sXs]

Biggest issue I see is there is no wat to measure progress... or the rate of progress.

Stars for upgrades could be changed to a progress bar.

Plantation efficiency
- I know this would be hard to code, but maybe something like,
"Your plantation is running at 25% capacity/efficiency."

At least that would give you a hint as to what changes are making things better and what changes make things worse.
