Village pond

Special buildings Cooperative village

For an active co-op it's one of the most important village buildings thanks to the huge capacity boost, just be aware that the higher levels mean weeks or months of work.

What it's for

This pond provides a scenic setting for the village folk to relax, especially as they can admire and feed the beautiful goldfish.

The village pond is a 12x9 decorative building in the Cooperative village where, as the in-game description puts it, the villagers relax by watching and feeding the goldfish. It doesn't produce anything itself, but each level noticeably raises the village capacity, from 450,000 at level 1 up to 3,600,000 at level 11. So it's more of a long-term investment in the co-op's infrastructure than a production building. It suits active co-ops that want to push their village level and have enough goods to build it.

When to build it

The pond isn't sold in the shop, the co-op gets it another way, typically by unlocking it as the village develops. The base level costs nothing and has no build time, so once it's available there's no reason not to put it up. It's the only building of its kind in the village, more copies make no sense.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading is worth it here, because the capacity really does grow a lot, from 450,000 at level 1 to a million as early as level 5 and on up to 3.6 million at level 11. The price matches that though, you pay in village goods and the amounts climb steeply with each level, as does the build time, which stretches from just under a day at the lower levels to five days at level 11. The higher levels are also tied to the village's own level, so level 11 is only something to think about once the village is at level 143.

Tip from a veteran player If your co-op's building queue is dragging, use the option to donate gold to the pond, each donation cuts the remaining time by 10 percent and a single member can do it repeatedly, which comes in handy on those multi-day levels.

Most common mistake The most common mistake is treating the pond as a purely decorative extra and never upgrading it, even though its capacity multiplies with every level and directly determines how much the village can hold.
