Get off your high horse.. Giving everyone the same thing when some dont even bother to complete things in the fastest time is complete crap, sorry to tell you so dont cry too hard over it ya Inno stool pigeon. They should have given the three extra only to those who spent all the time and put in the work to complete all the settlements in the fastest time and gave nothing to those that didn't. I guess in your world where you get consolation prizes for sucking and not finishing first you may be right, but in the real world, it doesn't son.
First, don't call me son. For one thing you're undoubtedly not old enough to be my dad, and for another you are clearly not the man that he was.
Second, you already got your reward for finishing in the time frame under the rules that were in force at the time you did it. The Fragments that Inno gave out had nothing to do with giving out "consolation" prizes. As I said earlier, the Fragments were merely a goodwill gesture to players, not a reward or prize.
Third, if you view someone who simply tells the uncomfortable truth as being on a "high horse", then I'll just stay up there, thank you very much.
If you have to build the willow, the mead hall or the clan house then you don't know what you are doing. So why are you boasting yet again like some expert when you clearly aren't even close from your comments??? Oh yeah, I forgot about your high horse you think you sit on there junior.
I hate to point it out to you, but you have to build all three of those to finish the Settlement. You don't have to let them finish construction, but you do have to build them.
It is complete stupidity making us make goods that are not needed before we finish the settlement.
Quests in this game are always asking you to do stuff that isn't needed, haven't you noticed that? Or do you always have 83 production buildings set to the 5 minute cycle?
For those of us who know how to do the settlements, unlike Stephen, know to run the goods buildings on 4 hour cycles to maximize the amount of chances we have at hitting the bonus X4.
So do you wake up in the middle of the night to collect and reset them? I doubt it.
So why wouldn't you put a counter on for the goods so we can see how many we have collected instead of making us have to keep track of them on our own??? It's like having to do the finish each production time on challenges and you dont even show us which ones have been complete. How hard is this to fix and actually support the people who play your game??
I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that someone who is a self-proclaimed expert at Settlements has a hard time keeping track of producing a mere 10 each of 4 goods.
Stop talking like an expert and like you know what you are talking about. All you are doing is giving people bad advice. You set your production to FOUR HOUR PRODUCTION so you up your chances at x4. Setting all four buildings to four hour productions gives you more opportunites to hit the x4 and reduce the time to complete your settlement.
So dont listen to ANYTHING Stephen says about the settlements as he clearly isn't an expert or know the best methods.
Well, the Settlement I finished after they changed the last quest, I unlocked the tech for Mead Hall, laid the foundation for one in the space I had ready for it, collected that quest, then collected the 10 of each good and 2500 coins that I had prepared in advance to be ready to collect. Settlement done about 30 seconds after unlocking Mead Hall. How long has it taken you after unlocking Mead Hall? 4 hours? 8 hours? Or have you still not figured out how many goods you need?
Oh, and here's a little lesson in math for you. Running the 4 hour cycle you have to hit twice as many 4x chances as someone running the 8 hour cycle. 5x4=20, or 15 extra each time. 10x4=40, or 30 extra each time. Do you really think you hit twice as many running the shorter cycle? And that's just to break even.
