Read the latest uptades section and try to understand what happened.

Was new update that fully implemented having to go to the Builders Supply (north up road from farm). So now have to go & purchase building materials, load them on the truck to bring them to your farm. Currently the prices for the skids of materials are still $10, but that will likely change in the future also.

This update was planned & discussed by the Dev's in advance. With the loaded truck, basically "given" to the players as a way to try out various building materials before this mechanism of the game was further implemented.

Still doesn't really understand the mechanic. Just started a new game and were able to repair everything right away and without buying anything beforehand. Is that intended? And when I have to do repairs for my neighbours, do they bring the materials themselves? Would be nice if someone could help me out a little here.

[StronkWalrus]

ooooh, so the little crane works now?

[Merck]

yes this was intended. You will have to earn enough funds to be able to further upgrade your buildngs (kind of like real life). I believe the basic repairs that you can do should still be "free", since you are basically using old boards & such to "patch" holes. The building materials mainly are for upgrading the structures, which really is an optional thing in the game.

Note though that the condition of livestock buildings does have an impact on the production of those animals. No repairs at all, chickens give 4 eggs, fully upgraded, same chickens give about 25 eggs. So it is advantageous to fully upgrade those structures. Otherwise mostly cosmetics, since some will like to change how their house looks, or what materials it is finished with.

Yes the crane does work. Actually pretty slick, since hover over skid (it turns green), press Enter to pick up. Enter also drops skids when get to where you want to place them. Still a bit 'wonky', but actually pretty cool overall.

Thank you so much for clarifying :-)

Do you have to buy supplies to fix neighbors buildings?

[Merck]

I don't believe so, but will have to run a quest to verify. But as I made the assumption in previous post, I belive not, since you are only repairing structures, using old boards, & such.

fixing does not require supplies only rebuilding does.
