As title says.
Level 50 here, have some gems lying around and thinking my next best investement.
My island is tottaly full, and an epic work yard could maybe save some space (??) from forresters & saw mills & cokers? Just asking?
Would you buy a second one with gems?
Do epic forresters-option work as intented? How many forresters it replaces? What range? (because the workyard would be away from the cutters).
Thanx!
Well as i see other hi-end players, maybe even just 1 epic doesnt worth it... :P
Hi all,
To be honest.. only if u wanne over produce stuff and flood the market with it maybe.. but otherwise 1 will be fine i guess..
The pinewood u dont use that much.. so you will be fine with a minor production.
The hardwood you need more because of the mine building.
But when you look in my sector 5 (if i may say so) you'll see a nice setup with will actually do fine for everything.
I bought mine by accident (stupid but irreversible..) and it is overproducing since then.. it mainly plants trees.
greets, Ares
every high level player i see has 2. probably mainly for coal ??
Deorum I think one is fine. Mine basically has 1 slot planting pine and the other 2 slots making coal. It seldom gets buffed and yet I make enough trees to keep my cutters busy for 99% of the time (due to the cutters all using the same tree bug). I also make plenty of coal for now and can easily keep an active gold line occupied.
If I had another it would be there just to overproduce and sell as I only have 2 hardwood cutters I don't see what added value I would get from another one.
That being said I don't consider myself to be a high end player that over produces to trade and make profit - I prefer the self balancing aspect of my island :-)
Me too, i prefer being autonomus.
but if it could save me 10 forresters + some coal buildings that would be welcomed.
would it work?
because i would need 5000 gems plus a major building re-allocation
i only recently bought both after toying with the idea for months and i am glad i did i am thinking of the future and my island is heavily geared towards making weapons so i use a lot of coal ..i like the idea i can make coal from pine and hardwood logs
I bought it just to be able to get more coal.
Just had to since i´ve gone heavy in to GC.
I find 1 Epic is plenty still and thats with 5 Level 5 Smelters and 9 Level 5 Coinage as well as plenty of other coal based production buildings......

I know when you get to level 50 you start looking at all the expensive upgrades etc you can do, but the Epic workyard is in my opinion very over rated.... the only good thing about is that it finishes a quest.
If you need a lot of coal,

My gold production chain is off now, that would consume extra 10k coal when it running.
output of 1 epic workyard = 14 level 5 coking plant.
area of 1 epic workyark = area of 5 coking plant.
so you save 9 building area & 14 building license.
cost of epic workyard is (1) 5000 beans , or (2) 5000 gem
5000/9 = 556
so, do you think 1 extra building area worth 556 bean(about 6000 coins) ? of course I do.
do you think 1 extra building area worth 556 gem? look at the cost of shotfired and demolition crew in the black market. it is not over priced.
or if you have other way to expand the island, please let me know....
I have 1 epic workard for coal(save ~9 space), another for hardwood sawmill (save about 6~7 space). If I could buy 3rd, I will still consider depend on the price.
the best function of epid woodyard is (1) coal (2) hardwood sawmill (3) hardwood forester
1 epic woodyard = 4740/380 = 12.47 level 5 hardwood sawmill
you save 12.47 - 5 = 7.47 building area.

1 epic woodyard = about 10 hardwood forester
you save 10 - 5 =5 building area

now back to the question:
2nd epic workyard. Worth it?
this question become:
X more building area, worth it? (X = 9 or 7 or 5 depend on the function of it)
lvl 75 update is coming, all building can upgrade to lvl 6.
the area saving thus reduce unless they create new quest to unlock more function of epic workyard..
1 epic workyard can save 6.7 building for for coking, 5.4 for hardwood sawmill
I just saw that. Seems interesting info. Thanx so much
what does this guy know that ALL other lvl50 players don't? e1 I know cant make bows fast enuff which = as much pinewood as possible plz. but no, I wouldn't buy a 2nd epic yard, too much space for too little return.Quote:
