Fields and wells.

So Im sitting here refilling my fields and wells and it strikes me that the time involved to re-up on all of them is actually causing me to think about discontinue this game. The only real reason im still playing threw it is because I've invested money in buying licensees which has actually contributed to the problem of need more wells and fields. I am not going to suggest that fields/wells should be removed from the queues or that their times to produce should be reduced but I did want to bring up my issue and see what other people thought of the matter or if they had the same experiences. Thanks for your time.

It would be more enticing to buy the more expensive wells/fields if there was more in them than there currently is. If you use a 5/1 ratio for firwood to hardwood, it doesn't make any sense to me to get a well that has only 500 more water in it. I strictly use the basic wells/fields for this reason. Still a beta though perhaps the amounts will change to reflect the higher cost of building them.

I don't have an issue with the wells, but the wheat fields are a pain in the ***. I hate having to demolish and rebuild the wheat field when there's like 50-70 wheat left, just to refill the field.

Hmm I have not seen this problem with my wells or my wheat.

To Talon - Just work on getting a silo and a watertower. It will save you the trouble.

To Sango - You do not need to destroy the wheat fields (unless you are redoing the fields before they run out of wheat) to build a wheat field on top of it.

Well I can kind of agree with the OP. Having 30 Farms means a lot of fields. Having 5 Bakeries means a lot of Wells. After a long day at work, it does take significant time to redo/rebuild all the Wells/Fields. Takes awhile and is a pain. Just part of the game right now, maybe there will be an change/improvement in the future.

I wish, I hate the wheat fields.

I to have only used the basic ones until recently and only built the tier 2 ones because i was particularly lazy at the time. I have 17 bakeries which to support i need over 60 farms, when the depletion stars align ive got a major chore to deal with. I have 4 silos which dont help very much against the drain i cause. Ideally id have the 2x watermills and 4x silos per bakery id need for it to sustain its self. That puts it well beyond the range of financially feasible for me even with disposable income, which i don't have that much of.

The only suggestion I've thought of so far is to make the higher level wells produce water FASTER too. That way building a level 2 well is actually worth 2 level 1 wells as far as production time is concerned. That would help.

The wheat fields are a slight issue for me. I build about 20 wheat fields a day and find myself wishing there was a way to assign a hotkey for building fields and that they didn't count in the building queue. I'd like to hit a hotkey 20 times in about 30 seconds and be done with it.

I agree that the building queue makes it annoying, a longer queue or building them w/o the queue ( like upgrades ) would be nice.

Yeah, I want a hotkey for the wheat fields and wells, if we're going to continuously refill them.

Build at least 2 fields for every farm. Why would you notwant a back up?
I never built a well until level 30. Just posted 1 coin for 400 water and got 8k water for 20 coin.
Eventually trading for water was taking too much time so I went with wells. Man did I need a lot.
I started upgrading them to 2 to get water faster.
Now I have 12 water wheels, all at least level 3. Still need wells, but not as often.

What I would really like to see is a feature that other people can plant wells and fields on my island.

just chiming in about replacing wells and fields. Im not even really that far in game yet (lvl23) but its already a pain. lvl2 fields/wells just aint worth it as is and waterwheel and silo hardly do anything to stave off my demands.

I agree, I think a new building is needed, A desalination plant. you should be able to build it next to rivers and the ocean, It could probably run on coal and produce unlimited water. as for the fields, Silo's usually solve the problem but if you are a free player like me, they don't help very much. i would enjoy being able to build one field on top of another to increase the number of wheat i that field.

I think the queue is needed, I believe the march update will expand this from the dev journal explanation. This was the #2 reason for me "taking a break"

Replacing the wheat fields gets a bit much. I have about 50 farms and that means I need to replace 50 fields a day. I even bought about 8 Silos but 1 silo only covers 1 farm...

is it my imagination or is there a problem with the water the last couple days.
i use to have quite a large amount in stock and it is dwindeling fast without my having changed other things?
not sure if i should report a bug or if i am missing something.
