Thanks! I'll probably keep my ec in the mountains! Are we gonna be able to purchase material from the store? If so what types?default smiley :)


Yes - all kinds of crafting materials can be purchased from the store...Here's the price list:

Click to display
If the price is listed as XX - that means the price fluctuates based on Supply and Demand, thus subject to change

Raw Materials
Leather: 10e
Wood: 10e
Sand: 10e
Iron: 10e

Bedding
Straw: 10e
Flax: 50e
*Note these items are just called Straw and Flax, the word bedding has been removed from the name.

Various
Wheat Bran: 1e

Enhancements

Box
Water trough XX
Shower XX


Meadows
Feed trough XX
Tractor XX

And I can't put any new cows into production even though I have fields available. I guess the window has closed.


That's odd - I was just able to get onto Preprod and 'plant' them just fine (and it shows me the grow time of 1 hour)

Are you sure you do not currently have 6 fields of active crops or greenhouses? Remember that you can only have 6 fields and/or greenhouses being used for Crops/Cows at the same time.

Thanks ShorahNagi!
It seems that crafting items and then selling excess would pay for any material purchased. Is that sound reasoning?

Depending on what you crafted vs. selling price - yes, there is profit to be made. Here's an example of what I mean that I posted a few pages back:

Click to display
We'll use the 3*** Classical Saddle for this example

A small workshop can produce 10 of these in 3 days, 5 hours

The resources and amounts needed are:
160 Iron
1,840 Leather

The total resource costs (if gotten from the store) are:
Iron 1,600e (160 x 10)
Leather 18,400 (1,840 x 10)

Total Cost: 20,000e

At present time on Preprod - a 3*** Classical Saddle sells for 2,320

2,320 x 10 = 23,200e

A profit of 3,200e (23,200e - 20,000e)

Again though, this was just based on purchasing needed items from the Store. It does not take into account that Mountain Centers get Iron from Missions, and using Cows for leather (though if the leather was gotten from Cows, the profit is a lot less or not there at all as you need to pay for the Cows.)

I'm glad there are some other people excited about the changes. I'm pretty ambivalent (excited about some things, not so much about others), and will just figure out the new way to play when changes are made, but I know not many people feel the same way,

My perspective is this: It is a game where the rules are in constant flux (Howrse has never guaranteed they would remain static) so I just adapt. default smiley :)

And it is, after all, a game. Once it stops being fun distraction, then I won't play any more. As it is, I think it is lots of fun, and I only play the bits I like for the little time I can spare for it, and ignore the rest. I know I'll never be at the "top" of any part of the game, and I'm OK with that.

@ Dr. Zig,
We are looking forward to whatever you have written for the rest us to figure out how to play the game with the new EC changes! You always have great guides default smiley (y)

I would say not - it takes time for changes to be made and launched.

I would say they will be launched sometime between now and the end of the day (Howrse will probably go offline for longer than the few seconds it does during update time)

From the pm last week:

This should happen on Monday morning (Paris time) and we will warn you when we are ready to get going via our twitter feed on the home page, so stay tuned.

This means it could happen any time today. Just watch that Twitter feed every time you log in default smiley ;)

When I was on test, I saw that you can change % for missions. How does that work?

If you set your lessons to 100% lessons then every time a horse does a lesson in your EC you, the EC owner, also gets a small random amount of equus.

If you set them to 100% missions then every time a horse in your EC goes to do a lesson the only option it will see is missions. Those give the same equus and skills to the horse's owner as the lessons do, and they give you, the EC owner, resources. If your EC is mountain then that is iron, and the amount you get is based on the skills of the horse who did the mission.

If you set them to a mixed percentage of lessons and missions, then the horses boarding in your EC are offered either lesson or mission - one or the other, but they don't choose.

You can change the percentage whenever you like.

That looks a lot like it, but we should not really be posting pictures here default smiley :p Hopefully default smiley (ow) does not see that or it might tip him off that there's a features launch coming and that could make him harder to catch default smiley :p
