Having more then 1 Barn gives problems:

Recap: I destroyed my old barns and coop, and built 2 new barns and 1 coop - and upgraded them to max.

Today when trying to add animals to them:

Coop - i could add 8 animals without problems

Left Barn - i could only add 4 animals

Right Barn - i added 8 animals 


When trying again to see if i could add more animals, i notised i couldnt add to the left barn - but the rigth barn showed green even tho it should be full. I added 1 more animal. (so 9 in right barn), and when checking right barn still showed green so able to add more animals then 9.

Ran back home to check. Left barn had 4 animals, right barn had 8 animals.

Relogged fast so nothing was saved.

(My guess is that i would see same problems if i had 2 coops to.) 

EDIT: From placement of my new barns i know the right barn is the the first barn ordered. (both ordered in same day)

EDIT 2: Looking at picture its not easy to see all the different animal-slots for each barn. Maybe make them show in 2 rows of 4, instead of all 8 in one?

Then i tryed out the moving bug that was present with old barns. Sold all animals - moved the barns. Could add animals to both. Added 1 animals to both barns - moved them again then tryed to buy more animals. I could still buy animals. So this part of the barn problems is fixed it seems.

I’ll be checking into this as soon as I can. The upgraded versions of buildings probably had the least testing done so I’m not completely surprised by this. I’ll hopefully have it figured out before Friday for the patch.

Alright so I’ve done some looking into this today. There was a cascading failure within the livestock system that basically made things break down once you had two barns and once you sold animals. A week or two ago I had to remake the livestock system to more efficiently handle animals in the game. From what I can tell the things you are seeing are a result of that change. Bits of data that didn’t get properly translated when the system changed.

So easy thing first, the animal icons that show when you are placing an animal now show in two rows. Looking back I’m amazed I ever tried one row with that.

As for the other issues. There is code in place to keep you from placing too many animals in a barn or coop. I believe it had issues due to the selling of animals as well as multiple and different tier barns. From what I can tell I have fixed all of this. My only concern for you is I’m not sure exactly how your game will translate it. It’s hard to tell if your structures will remain bugged or if they will recover themselves. That said I guess for now wait till the patch and we’ll go from there.

Sorry for making so much xtra work and headache for you with my barns :) 

If they are still bugged out after patch I will just make new barn again. I was "lucky" last time and got free upgrades, so didnt really work hard to get them anyway :)

Looking forward to the patch, to see if anything new will be added. 

Thank your for your dedication. Love your game.
