Is the Improved Farm bugged?

So I bought 3 improved farms, built them and began upgrading them. I already had a few improved silos, so bought 1 more to match the third farm, built it and began upgrading it as well. All are at level 4 and on the way to level 5.

This morning in guild chat, someone was saying that the improved farm only uses 1 wheat no matter what the level. I checked the details screen on a farm and sure enough, it says 1:4. I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug and have submitted a ticket in an attempt to find out how it's supposed to work.

If I've wasted gems and resources purchasing and upgrading an improved silo to match an improved farm, I suppose it's my own fault for not checking the details more closely before doing so. On the other hand, it appears that the feature of an improved farm is the faster time, the same as an improved silo. If it's intended that the farm only use one wheat from a field no matter what level it is, it would have been nice to have that fact made perfectly clear.

At any rate, I love the new farms and hope we can get more of them after the event. But I sure won't be spending any more gems on improved silos till I can get an answer from BB on how the farms and silos are intended to work together.

I was wondering why my silos aren't operating so often.

Iirc it was reported on test server, you know what that means.

nada!

*wants improved farm more than ever now... :D

lol

I'm sure eventually they'll fix it.

I just tore down 3 farms and replaced them with 1 improved farm. I wasn't planning on going any further until I get an improved improved silo.

I just knew some one would blab... oh well, it's a nice glitch while it lasts

Hi Perwyn,

I will ask my colleagues and keep you updated.

Thanks BB_Endesmor. Look forward to finding out.

Given that a lvl 5 improved farm un-siloed will wipe out a medium wheat field in like 6 hrs, maybe we should have left this quiet ...

Hello everyone,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The Improved Farm is supposed to have the same ratio of consumed/produced resources per cycle than the regular Farm. The building should consume/produce +1 wheatfield/wheat with each building upgrade.

That way, the Improved Farm produces wheat 3 times as fast as a regular Farm, but with the same efficiency, as communicated in the Dev's Diary.

The behavior of the Improved Farm will most likely be corrected next week.

There you go! Your investment is not in vain.

Thanks BB_Endesmor!

Could you wait a little longer to fix it? Because that is about when mine would be finished upgrading. Do not want to waste a bug in our favor for once.

lol - Glad I decided to wait to purchase them; they did seem too good to be true. I don't see the point of tearing down my existing lvl6 buildings just to build a whole new set.... :/ Might have been nice as I was still developing. Enjoy.
