With this are you saying the buff didn't apply, or that it ran out well before it was due to run out? Any additional information is really valuable in our investigation!

[07:14] System: One of your buildings has been buffed by a friend.
The buff will increase the productivity of your building.
Never stuck and return to his store - I heard the sound of the buff being applied then a click noise. He came back and buffed again and this time all ok.

I just had this problem too. I wouldn´d be that bothered if it were a common buff, but this happend with machine oil. It´s gone from my inventory, since I sent it to a friend, and it´s gone from his inventory, buff sound and text showed up, but no buff. It´s gonna be expensive if this continues.
same thing again this morning with another stadium.

2nd time

I did have the details box open on the building, so I could start production after the buff was applied and did. So details window showed unbuffed but when I start the production the buff had been applied. That might help getting a handle on this.
Yep bug identified.
This time I waited for buff to be applied then opened the details box for that building. The details showed the buff was active and I started production - all fine with 3 buildings.
Now I'm not saying this is everyone's problem but probably a large percentage.
you should not have to stop the building producing just to apply a buff...turn it off, get friend to buff...turn it on again...WHAT???
I have 195 buildings on my land that are being buffed, and while the 'it didnt take' bug certainly isnt happening on every one, its annoying on the 4 - 5 it is happening with. To have to turn every single one off, wait for the buff then turn all on again is just plain daft.
Fix please
no you miss understand - the building was paused, I asked for buff, a friend came over and buffed, then I started the production.
When buffing an island it is very easy to miss a building and not buff it, I have to check that I have buffed everything when I buff someones island.
Mods, this is a brand new one. Friend tricked my Imp Papermill and that went fine. When I placed my treat, it cleared the trick but didn't buff my building. We had to do it all over again. Mind you, I lost both the trick and the treat.
And it happened again... Guild buddy placed a snack on my titanium smelter. It was there for a few seconds and, as I watched, it disappeared.
I, along with many others have given up reporting this problem. Please sort it out as its a nightmare. So many non sticks it unreal. There is an overload or something please sort it!
Hey its back!!
My grill steaks have been working great for well over a year :)
So pleased to report that some them now run out after a couple of hours and even one of my rainbows ran out after two hours.
Welcome back old friend. We so easily forget.
Just after the hot fix.
I have started getting this recently too, I have only noticed it when other players use buffs on my island. The buffs display with the correct amount of time after being applied and then vanish after a few seconds, the buff item has still been consumed from the players inventory though.
Placing buffs in the past was a pain; too many weren't registered.
With the Forum Threads started (and maintenance in the autumn 2016) it has improved significantly - not to perfection, though.
BB is aware of the 'ongoing' issue
If the buff didn't follow through and the buff item has also been consumed from the inventory, then I implore you to contact our Support Team who should be able to help resolve this. Remember to include as much information as possible such as timestamps and screenshots!
non stick buffs abound.....they do return to star but its a real pain!
+1.
It never happened to me without lag on a fresh login. Update did change that I think. I think this bug just got worse.
It took me 2 barazeks to buff my rarity today. If barazeks do return to star, it surely is not my own star, as they need to be dropped by friend to last those 18h-20h.
Hi I have had several non sticking buffs on my own island, not sure about friends island, it is getting frustrating. I contacted support and got no help at all from them. Just got the runaround. I'm wasting so many buffs and as a new player they are not easy to come by. It just happened again with my copper mines. About ready to give up.
Thanks for the new reports guys - we're looking into it!
Still happening and so much
Yes, almost 2 years after last post and i still have this problem, after friend buffing i can see all running buffs, i just need to log off for longer time, 4h+ and on some buildings disappears. Any advice?
use buffs shorter than 4h.
