Certificates

Certificates are an in-game currency I earn for completing missions in Goodgame Big Farm. They aren't a resource I harvest from a field or produce in an animal building, but a reward tied purely to finishing tasks. The only use certificates have is building and upgrading the farming machines in my garage.

I see certificates as a currency that pushes me to do missions regularly rather than in bursts, because otherwise a build or an upgrade in the garage just sits there waiting. It pays to keep them topped up alongside normal play instead of scrambling for them the moment I need a machine.

I get certificates for completed missions and there is no other way to them

I get certificates every time I finish a mission, whether it's an ordinary daily task or a mission tied to the farm's story. I don't produce them in any animal building and I don't harvest them from fields, the only route to certificates leads through completed tasks.

What works for me is treating missions as a steady source of certificates rather than a one-off chore I clear and then forget about. The more regularly I do missions, the more certificates pile up without me having to pay any special attention to them.

I spend certificates on building and upgrading machines in the garage

Certificates have one specific use, they go towards building and upgrading the farming machines I have parked in my garage. Without them I can't get a new machine or an upgrade for one, no matter how well sorted I am on other resources or money.

The garage is therefore the only place certificates ever end up. Before I start building or upgrading a particular machine, I check how many certificates it takes and plan how much longer I need to keep doing missions before I get started.

I would rather save certificates for one specific machine than spend them at random

There's no other way to make or buy certificates, so I'm careful with how I spend them
I decide in advance which machine in the garage I want to build or upgrade first and save my certificates for it
I keep doing missions even when I'm not building a machine right now, so certificates don't pile up in bursts but are always there when I need them

Tip from a veteran player Work through your missions as they come, even the small ones, because there's no other way to get certificates, and then a build or an upgrade in the garage doesn't have to wait for a lucky break.

Most common mistake The most common mistake is only thinking about certificates once I already need to build or upgrade a machine, and then finding out I'm short because I'd been doing missions only now and then.
