Discussion where do you spend your "Finish Special Productions"

[CrashBoom]

would be interesting to read where other players spend their finish special production


I am currently using it on my Trailside Smithey (in my live world) to get more Sunhaven Palace which produce Jester Stages to get more finish special productions
the "problem" is the golden upgrade doesn't come as often as needed

an option would be to use it on Flowering Boungainvillea Tree:
the Aegon directly produce Finish Special Production and the Feta Farm is a very good building
and there all upgrades are in the same selection kit. so you can't be missing the golden upgrade

or on other golden league only buildings which also produce event buildings but with better stats than the Sunhaven Palace / Aegon
but the small buildings those event buildings produce aren't as good in my opinion as the Jester Stage / Feta Farm

or are you using the Finish Special Production directly on main event buildings like Autumn Vineyard / Laboratory of Monstrosities
because those give most FP and goods

or for the new golden Chocolatery (when it will be in the city) to just get more Nutcracker Guardhouses as fast as possible ?

so:
where are you using your Finish Special Production ?

 

[Ironrooster]

I use mine with the Blue Galaxy to finish off the Golden upgrades to event buildings.
I have one Gold League reward Bougainvillea that I use it with for Aegean Resort selection kits. But only when I'm close to having enough for a full up building.

 

[Pericles the Lion]

I mix it up. Trailside Smithy, Vibrant Autumn Vineyard, Grape Stompin, Aegean Resort. Only when have BG charges to use on them.

I use it for extra frags on buildings I want to finish or get more copies of. I have removed the Trailside Smithy since the golden upgrade frags were significantly more rare than advertised, so I’m now focusing attempts on Bougainvillea, as well as Jester frags.

I have 7 Sunhavens in my city. 5 1/2 were built from frags generated by the Trailside Smithy. Below is my current inventory of Summerhold and Sunhaven frags. In my experience, the gold frags are not rare. If anything, I get more of them than the advertised rate.

not everybody has that much luck

I am also a little bit short on golden upgrade fragments

they should just add 5 golden fragments to the last normal level

 

[Daniel der Vollstrecker]

I'm lucky as well. Already built 6 sunhaven from fragments. Next is save, waiting for normal fragments. So spending all finish kits to the smithy.

As of now, in no particular order:

• Ketebo for nutcracker frags; though after winter event, once I have enough for 1 mass self aid kit per day, I'll "abandon" it.
• Nutcrackers for mass self aid frags (same as for the previous one, after winter event, likely I won't do anymore)
• Key masters for Conjunction Tower
• Cartos for Trading Post kits
• Laboratory for golden upgrade kit
• Grape Stomping for Vineyard kit

On my main at this moment, exclusively Flowering Bougainvillea. Similar to your loop on trailside for more palaces to make more jesters to make more finishes.

But the thing was I didn't want a city full of sunhavens and jesters so I didn't go for trailside smithy - the lack of defense for attacking army bothered me. I do want a city full of Aegean Couples Resorts. I do plan to switch to using the finishes on Sunhaven at some point for extra jesters to finish up the trek to 14 finishes a day to match blue galaxy charges. And then switch to using finishes on something else (current plan being a large FP chain - but it could just as readily be whatever the next direction I decide to overhaul my city is).

I have 6 Aegean Couples Resorts and 8 Jester's Stages so far there.

On my low-age camper I did go for the Trailside Smithy and use my finishes on it but am not building jesters, so i don't get finishes too often. There I'm using finishes on trailside smithy to make sunhavens to make grilling groves. I'm trying to stack red attack primarily there. It may have been wise to do some amount of jesters temporarily at least, but i'm en route to my 5th sunhaven (2 from the event) as is. I have the golden upgrade ready and waiting for a while now, but need the base levels.

On a diamondless world, I would go for Vibrant Autumn Vineyard as the finish target to make more granny aurora trees to make more cider gardens. It's my preferred F2P route toward an accelerating path toward a city full of modern buildings thanks to the 2-staged production. It's not as crazy as the finish-loops that experience exponential growth, but quadratic growth is still going to overrun your city in a year or two depending on how much you can speed it up

While I was keeping track, it was about 5% sun haven and 95% Summerhold. I have removed one Summerhold from my city, and didn’t place the one I could do now, as the Sunhaven frags simply aren;t coming in. I only finished my 6th Sunhaven this week, having waited for the last 40 frags for several weeks (I hesitate to say months as I stopped keeping track, there are better things to do in life).

I used to spend it on the chocolate factory for the guardhouses. Nowadays I'm mostly focusing it on fall23's silver spawner. To get quicker vineyards, for them to produce spawners for jumping pumpkins. With the aim to accelerate production of jumping pumpkins in the long run. Alongside the mass production of BD's of my own age and future ages.
Sometimes I deviate from this too quickly bringing new special buildings in line with my other event buildings' production cycle.

Generally I'm using finish special productions for whatever I want to accelerate. It's still a bit of a game of compromises. As there are a couple of side buildings I'm interested in for strategical value in the longer run. Most aiming to strengthen my % otherwise keeping a bit of a surplus just in case future event buildings eating it away more rapidly.

Too boring when people share these kind of "secrets" or "ideas" and too dumb cause you make devs noticed about certain building and how overpowered is.. you reaaaallly love the idea of make devs nerf certain buildings, isnt? . . .

I have heard they will put a limit of maximum 2000 fps on city per day.

we told them that the Trailside Smithey creates an exponential growth of finish special productions (FSP)

so they already know that for a long time
but they didn't care about that

and actually every other way to use those (FSP) will reduce that exponential growth of FSP

so why do you believe they would now nerf the Trailside Smithey --> FSP chain now ?

I have heard they will remove doubling fragments from the Blue Galaxy x2 bonus

Spoiler: ...

just kidding

You are not aware how powerful and game breaker can be some buildings, isnt? The arc itself has become obsolete in atleast a 85%. . .

 

[CrashBoom]

and no event building is more game breaking than the Trailside Smithey

What foe wants is your money and certain buildings deletes from you the need of spend real cash to buy diamonds. . .

 

[planetofthehumans2]

TBH I've been using it so that when I put down a new event building, I can finish it with the rest of my city so they're all on time and I don't have to worry about accidentally clicking it and throwing it off time for the next 16 hours.

I don't spend a lot of real money on this game so I haven't been fortunate to get into the gold/silver leauge in events where the buildings that make buildings are cash locked behind to the 5%.

Obviously it's no longer a secret. Equally obviously, not that many people are actually doing it - there is a long lag before the payoff. And the trailside/bougainvillea are literally only available to the 1% (though you can do the same loop principle with just 1 sunhaven).

And nerfing the buildings after the fact when they already went live would be more devastating to them than the result it's headed towards. "Don't spend any money on events, they'll just nerf the buildings later if it's half as good as you think it is" is *not* the message you want to send.

Nerfs on beta are one thing - while people may cry about them at times, beta is subject to occasionally drastic balancing changes in order to prevent such from having to happen on live. But once it's gone live, changing it is wrought with peril for them - and as such it's only happened very rarely and never negatively to the stats of an event building yet.

The building that you are referring to is the Trailside Smithy. I have one and am using it to build Sunhavens so they can produce Jesters so they can produce FSPs. It's a nice machine but it didn't remove any need for me to spend money on diamonds because that ship sailed long ago. I haven't spent money on diamonds in three years.
