Special buildings Cooperative village

For a cooperative with active farmers it's a great tool for getting more out of damaged fields, but because of the high player requirements and costs it makes the most sense for a more advanced, long-running cooperative.

What it's for

Here you can hire seasonal specialists to improve your resource yields, and reduce the penalty time of fields, meadows and gardens.

The job center is the cooperative village's recruitment office, where you hire specialists for three types of damaged fields, a pumping technician for waterlogged fields and clay, boulder diggers for stony fields and carriers for dry fields and white sand. The specialists increase the yield of the given raw material and at the same time shorten the time penalty that damaged fields normally carry, so they're useful to anyone dealing with hedgerow plants and damaged plots on their farms. The building is fairly large at 13×9 tiles and, unlike the factories, it has no raw material production of its own, it's purely a service for managing your fields. It's meant for cooperative members who actively work their fields and want to get more out of them than would be possible without help.

When to build it

The job center can't be bought either, the cooperative unlocks it another way as the village develops. It mainly makes sense where the cooperative has enough players who really do work their fields and deal with the damage on them, because without that the hired specialists go unused. The player level requirement is strikingly high here, even though the table has only 11 steps, for the last one you need to be level 284, so it's more of a goal for a long-running, established cooperative than for a freshly started village. The center is one building for the whole village as well, it isn't bought by the piece.

Is it worth upgrading

As the center's level rises, so does the quality of the specialists you can hire, a higher building level opens up access to higher level specialists who deliver more raw material per job and can get through more work in a season. Upgrade costs are very high even at the lower levels and reach into tens and hundreds of thousands of units of various materials, the build time runs to several days and climbs to as much as 15 days at the highest level. Given that the center's value lies mainly in the specialists it lets you hire, it pays to upgrade it above all when you really are using them and your hired slots aren't sitting idle. There's no point pushing the center's level up faster than the cooperative can actually put the specialists to work on its fields.

Tip from a veteran player You can hire up to 3 specialists of one trade at a time, but none of them can handle two jobs at once, so before you hire a third technician of the same type, check whether you have enough damaged fields across your farms to give all three of them real work.

Most common mistake An early mistake is hiring specialists and then leaving them unused, because specialists charge a fee for the season regardless of how many jobs they actually complete, so an unused specialist is a pure loss of village dollars or gold.
