Upgrading the coop on the new map

[Aihrys]

Is there a way to upgrade the coop you start with or do I need to destroy it and build a new one? I feel like I am missing something

[supersand]

go to robin's shop and hit "construct farm buildings", the big coop / big barn she offers is the upgrade you pick the coop and she will upgrade it

The menu implies that you're building another building, but you're not. You have to build the regular one, then you upgrade them all the way to deluxe. In this case, you get to skip the first building.

You will always be able to upgrade your coop or barn. Must have prerequisite building before upgrading though.

The order is Small > Big > Deluxe.

Also they're in the same menu as building coop/barn tab, but different pages.

I will reiterate this I am talking about the one you start with as I do not have the option to build the second level one. I have over 500 hours in the game I am aware of how to normally upgrade.

We simply decided to build a second coop to unlock the upgrade but thank you.

I've had 0 issue upgrading the initial coop on Meadowlands farm. You either ran into a bug or have a mod that's interfering with it.

I would gather it is a bug, as everyone in my co-op is unable to upgrade it(I am the host) and I am not using mods...cause I lazy lmao

It's possible there's a bug, but there may also be a prerequisite that we're unaware of, like farming level.

That said, it's probably a mod problem.

Just to throw in my 2 cents. I've never modded and I have the same issue. When I go to Robins to upgrade the coop I find that it can't be upgraded. I wonder if there is something going on in the games code where the "Starter Coop" (for lack of a better term) is treated as a different building type. Like something special or a one of.

I may try tonight to buy a new coop and see if I can upgrade that.

I was able to upgrade my Coop on the new map. Do you have any mods installed? If not, it's a bug. If you have mods installed, likely it's a mod.

Sounds Like a bug. I had no issue upgrading the coop the game gave you.

Wait, if it's part of a quest chain with building the silo first there may have been an unintentional softlock. But I can't be sure. (I built the silo first, did you?)

I did build the silo first I did not see another chain quest after it personally. Maybe someone has

Def do, building the second one unlocked the big coop option. If the first one stays bugged we can just deconstruct it, lol

Maybe try moving it first. Might reset something by moving it. I saw a streamer upgrade it but they had moved it. Though mine has the option to upgrade, I just haven't yet.

[PepeMilagro]

No pbm here.
Did it the usual way, by outsourcing it to Robin.

[Dlanor]

I had no issue upgrading the starting coop either. If there's no mods, I'd bet you selected "Deluxe" instead of "Big", you can't skip steps and must upgrade to "Big" first.
