The Farm Bucks timer-finish formula, its two elapsed-time conditions, and the confirmation details shown for an eligible timer.

Timer finish price

Timer finishing uses Farm Bucks to complete an eligible active timer. Its price is determined by the timer's remaining duration, while its availability depends on two elapsed-time conditions.

Price formula
max(1, ceil(remaining seconds / 300)) Farm Bucks.
Elapsed time
At least 60 seconds and at least 10% of the original duration.
Eligible timers
Started construction, Dispatch, ordinary recipe, and Public Work Build timers.
Confirmation
Remaining time, cost, and resulting Farm Bucks balance.

Formula

The game divides the remaining seconds by 300, rounds upward, and applies a minimum price of 1 Buck. One to 300 seconds remaining costs 1 Buck, 301 to 600 seconds costs 2, and 601 to 900 seconds costs 3. A timer with 842 seconds remaining therefore costs 3 Bucks, while one with 901 seconds remaining costs 4.

Eligibility

Both time conditions apply to every finish. A started construction, Dispatch, ordinary recipe, or Public Work Build timer becomes eligible only after 60 seconds have elapsed and the timer has passed one tenth of its original duration.

Confirmation

The finish confirmation identifies the selected timer's exact remaining time, the calculated price, and the balance after purchase. Declining the confirmation returns to the timer unchanged.
