Plantation "fasten"

Postby sXs » Tue Jun 11, 2019 4:37 pm

First time I have tried this.

17,000 gold bars
26,503,000 gold coins

Added to speed up housing.

Nothing happened. I am at 4-1/2 stars. Right where it started. I added exactly what it said I needed to add to complete.

i played withy that feature in past 2 days, and it seems to work as supposed to. as long as your gb are no longer in que, it should have worked. do note that you only pay to use the gb for improvement instantly, but it wont guarantee higher quality.

2 things that affect required goldbars to see increase in quality are overall population, and % of that population assigned to said building. and at some points of improvemenr you need to invest 2x gb to see increase in stars, or change in descrition

Those were the numbers when I added. I am logging everything in a spreadsheet to find the true cost of a max plantation.

And to be able to compare the output to an unimproved plantation. At those levels it should have raised it to 5 stars.

Too my knowledge, plantation updates may take up to 10 minutes to reflect.

Additionally, there are other factors that determine the stars. If you hover over the icon for housing, there should be details to the type of housing currently developed. For instance, mine shows rag tepee. That's what you are developing with the gold bars. The stars come bases on other points.

Yes I know. must have a certain amount of workers in each (1%) for improvements to show, plantations update every 10 minutes on the 7's.

It definitely impacts, just not immediately, I used it on a startup not long ago and the gbs impact was noted
Some people are like Slinkies, totally useless but great fun to watch when you push them down the stairs

Fasten is for the weak minded that doesn't have what it takes to wait.

Plantations gold bars

I don't know if this has been reported yet, but I:
- forgot to put workers in utility building
- nonetheless used gold to improve buildings (message: work hasnt started yet 'cause no workers)
- subsequently added workers to utlity
-.......all the gold had gone and no work has started
