Topic: [31343] Sharing/Trading With Coop Members (incl Collectibles)

It would be very cool if we could share collectibles as a coop.  If a project required 500 teamwork collectibles, we should be able to have multiple coop members contribute to the total rather than waiting for one person to have the entire collection

This has been asked for before. GGS won't do it, because they want people to use gold to contribute the collectibles.

How about ditching the project setup all together and introducing a coop market. Players gather the required items as a team and the rewards are given to the whole coop. Whether its farm dollars, decorations, gold etc can be something for GGS to think about. Solidarity points are so outdated and while I guess ranking may be important to some whats the point to it? Some coops have been established years before others so the ranking system isn't a true indication of "best group" anyway.

exchanges of goods, and add3ed stockpiles wuld be best done at the village site. seems like right spot, but wold it ever happen for sure....

I always thought the idea behind co-op was for a group of people to come together to get better prices or to work together on a common goal... that being said there are a lot of times I am doing pigs/other commodities and I have no contracts for them only doing them because I need the dung for fertilizer, while members of my co-op have contracts that call for a lot of pigs would be nice if I could transfer my excess pigs or what ever commodity may be needed to a member of my co-op to help them and vice versa...Thought?? Is something like that even feasible??

Another idea could be to have a donations storage for the coop, where people can donate or withdraw anything that would be in inventory.  Would almost be like the Santa's list event except you would be able to withdraw those items that have been donated by others.

I have mentioned to our game makers on several occasions, that we need some kind of Trading Post in the co op village for just this sort of thing.......Players can check in there and trade their excess stuff for someone else's excess stuff!  haha, so now we wait..........

as would all of us...

It would be very nice to have a Marketplace where you can buy things from or sel things to other players.

[3648818] White _Doves (US1) [None] :: Sept. 17, 2017, 6:07 a.m.

That has  been suggested many times, sounds like a good idea, but they aren't going to let us sell to each other.

I'd like to see a once a month trade time. Cooperative members could trade with each other at first - call it a "Flea Market". Allow people to trade certificates for fish, a little cash for extra humus, etc. We frequently discuss that it would be nice if we could give a little of our karma to another member, a few fish, some apples, etc. This way, people who are just getting started could gain some items which are difficult to get, while others of us have a surplus.

Even if it lasted 6 hours on a Saturday morning, as true Flea Markets do, it would be a nice treat to share and trade with others. I suggest it in the cooperative format, because I think it could get messy with too many people involved. When dealing with one's own co-op group, there are reasons to cooperatively trade with other players.

Great idea it has been suggest many times before

[3674602] CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) [US1] :: Oct. 14, 2017, 3:30 p.m.

I agree, it's a great idea but suggested before.

I gotta say that I do love your Saturday morning Flea Market idea. Perhaps GGS may like it too because it would be a hit or miss activity.

I have a suggestion for better gifting mechanics.  
You can request for a gift on any one building on each of the 3 farms every day.  It will show up on the chat for other players on the cooperative to see and they can send the gift without needing to load their farm.  If someone gifts the building, the person that received the gift can give a thank you letter for free with some rewards for the sender.

I think it would be a great thing if cooperatives could share items with their members. Say for instance I needed chicken feed and someone else in my cooperative needed apples...we could trade items and help each other out. Maybe you would need to set a weekly limit on trades if you thought it would progress players too quickly?

Thanks for any consideration!

Can we get it to where one person doesnt have to provide all of one resource to start projects(ex. puzzle pieces). We need make it where multiple members can donate what they have to help start them.

[3842331] silk_ribbons (US1) [US1] :: Dec. 24, 2017, 4:09 p.m.

It would be nice if we can give things to other players  that we have and won't be using .  like hug duck coop or apple trees  cherry trees  . deco's    donkey , coops ,  things like that  . 

[3769972] archerbob (AU1) [AU1] :: Dec. 24, 2017, 10:26 p.m.

Thats a very good idea. I have themed orchards and stables in my inventory that I don't have room to place on my farms. The whole concept of "Co-op" is supposed to involve teamwork, what better way to support that than giving us the ability to share what we have among team members?
