Building Upgrades
Building upgrades are current-catalog improvements for farm buildings and equipment. Each inspector identifies an upgrade's soft-resource cost, exact named effect, visible timer where applicable, and prerequisite.
- Resources
- Displayed soft resources
- Effect
- The exact named effect shown in the building inspector
- Timing
- A visible construction timer where the catalog provides one
- Prerequisite
- Shown with the upgrade in the current catalog
Catalog information
The displayed cost, named effect, timing, and prerequisite identify how an individual upgrade changes a building such as an Acorn Patch or the relevant piece of equipment.
Construction timing
An upgrade with a visible timer enters construction after its shown resources are committed. A started qualifying timer may be finished with Farm Bucks only after at least 60 seconds and at least 10% of its original duration have elapsed.
Farm presentation
Building upgrades operate separately from the farm's visual presentation. Decorations, roof textures, wheels, workwear motifs, and construction art describe the settlement's appearance, while an upgrade's inspector supplies the applicable mechanical effect.
