Pillars

Marcel_Schoof

With the post of our German player (who was angry with the update at the caravan with a ticket) i looked at pillars.Don't know how much i missed in something extra (as stated in wiki) but logged in at my PC.
Found Pillars but can't have no more than 10.
Wiki says sells or store them. No more information.

How do i do that?
In the undergroud you can click and choose de X, but nothing happens.
How can i use all the extra materials without doing something stupid?
And i don't understand the instruction in small pillars and big pillars?

(there are more stange things on the computer which I haven't seen on the app, but this is my first problem

Welcome to the correct forum 😉

As I explained before you can have/buy more than 10 Pillars you just cannot display - as decoration - more than 10 in your camp. As soon as you bought a Pillar you place it in your camp NOT the underground and immediately you will get the corresponding XP.

"small Pillars" need less material and give less XP, "Mega Pillars" usually need 10x more material and give 10x more XP.

Which region (egypt, skandinavia,...) are you in, when you tell us that we can give you an example on how it is done 🙂

Roeland

Marcel_Schoof maybe you have your decoration lock ON, that prevents removing the pillars. (check settings, cogwheel)
Big Pillars? Mega pillars are 10x a regular pillar, mainly to make it easier for us placing large amounts

Discovering pillars after a long time playing app only is great fun 🙂

You set your decoration lock OFF, as Roeland said, so you can move and sell them.

You choose your pillar, follow the great and detailed advice from Cynthia.

You drag the pillar from the shop up to your camp and place it there.
With the placement you get the XP which sometimes can level you up and gives really big fun!

Personally I sell them immediately so I always have room enough to buy and place more.

To sell you tap on the pillar in your camp. Symbols are shown on the pillar then. Choose the Dollar for selling or the arrow down for moving it in your backpack.

CynthiaF I'm in China. But still lots of materials form egypt which don't are usefull anymore (i think)
83K wood / 122K stone / 48K coal / 55k copper / 50k iron ore / 34K Tin (sn) / 17K bronze / 9K Iron / 1000 amethist / 46K bamboo / 22K shale / 15K scrape metal / 880 dragon igot / 17K berry / 14K aplle / 33K mushroom

So if i can use them sensible it would be a great help

OK!
Wood - you need wood for most of the food and the products from the foundry, so I would not use all of it on pillars
Stone - as soon as your underground is fully dug out you don't need them anymore, so you can buy a couple of Stone Mega-Pillars 😁
Coal - also necessary for some of the food and foundry products, so don't use all on pillars
Copper /Iron Ore / Tin - make more bronze and iron their pillars give more XP
Bronze/Iron - only good for pillars and now also for caravans
Amethist - you can buy pillars or wait for the next double production and send a caravan
Bamboo - Buy pillars
Shale - also, go for the pillars
Scrape metal - same as above
Dragon ingot - for pillar and caravan you need at least 1.000
Berry - pillar
apple - pillar
Mushroom - pillar

You can see in the Wiki how much XP the pillars give, and when you go to your "level-bar" it tells you how much XP you need to reach the next level.
I usually play on mobile but when I want to reach the next level (to get the energy) I switch to PC and buy a pillar.

When you use the filter in your shop you can also see how much material you need to buy the pillar and how much XP (Experience) you will get. Hope the pic helps a bit. Try it out! If you have more questions just ask

In addition to what CynthiaF, Roeland & MadameCurie posted above.

Before you convert any materials for Pillars or Caravan Ticket check out what materials are needed for upcoming camp equipment....you can check them out here

You can check out what materials are needed for the Foundry here

As you are currently in China.... I'm assuming that you have already cleared out all of your underground camp slots.....if you haven't cleared out all your underground camp slots then you can check out what materials are needed for them here

You can check out information about the Caravan Tickets & Pillars here

Obviously the best time to use Caravan Tickets is during Double Production Week

The 1st post by RichardPixel in this forum thread below explains the Caravan Tickets

Once i understood what the undergroud camp did i cleared them as soon as possible. And I'm glad that i learnede (a month ago) what the night/day switch does. so that already helpt a lot ;-) now my daytime is 19000/23000 (lowest energy regeneration 126, lowest container 1161) and nighttime 10000/90000 (147/810)
So i can't find campequipment in china which does help anymore.

Had already read about pillars but it was listed as decoration and just not availible on the Ipad. But a german player complained about the new caravan because it was unfair that he was at level 589 with much effort in pillars and now everybody was able to move up levels quicker.

Thx for al the help

Marcel_Schoof

If you're lowest regeneration is at 126 per slot & your lowest capacity is at 1161 per slot....there is still a number of Older Unsegmented Stories that you could benefit from.

I have made some spreadsheets in relation to the camp equipment is available in the Older Unsegmented & Segmented Stories that are available in the shop to purchase for either 100 or 500 gems.

You can check out those spreadsheets here

https://forum.pixelfederation.com/diggysadventure/d/187533-camp-equipment-spreadsheets-for-older-stories-available-in-shop

Marcel_Schoof

Yep i played them all but: i play the game much because i can't work anymore. And in Holland we have a good social system, but buying all the gems needed to maken use of it will make my food consumption go down . With 64 KG i'm not the biggest eater but love my meals. So leave out everything that is only availible without gems and I beleiver there's not much to get from the older stories (already played every 100 gem story in the shop)

but as an experienced player. How do I get friends for windmalls without enoying facebook friends to play the game?

There is also a Wiki page with a list of groups on Facebook.

https://wiki.diggysadventure.com/index.php?title=Facebook_Groups

This is quoted directly from the relevant Wiki page in relation to Windmills

Windmills are available on both the Facebook and Portal website versions of the game only. However, you must also have your game connected to a Facebook account.

When you start out in the game you can have a maximum of 5 Windmills in your camp. These give you energy per hour. The whole system is expandable to an extra 176 energy per hour.

Your neighbors have to place them in your camp. And you in turn place them in their camps.

The only way to get Windmills is to get them gifted from neighbors as a daily gift.Your neighbors will send them to you.

You can not use them in your own camp they are for you to place in your neighbor's camps and Mr.Bill (for working on the Windmill Achievement).

The number of Windmills you have is listed under extra's in your inventory.

Windmills last for 7 days. Many Facebook groups for the game have a pinned post to request them.

To place a Windmill in your neighbor's camp. Click on the Friends icon. Once in their camp you can see on their Windmill if they need any placed. 0/8 means your neighbor needs 8 new Windmills. No real need to go visit all your neighbors each day to see if they maybe need one.

You will get to visit a part of your neighbors that day to collect the extra energy and a quick look at those Windmills should suffice as your part of the deal.

Windmills are also an Achievement. Each Windmill earns you 5 Experience points. You will need to place over 17,000 to complete the Achievement.

Placing Windmills on Mr. Bill's camp counts towards this Achievement, he also "sells" his Windmills every time you refresh his camp so you can place Windmills there all day long as many times as you want.

Purchase the Holland system (found under the 'Extra' tab in your Shop). This will increase the maximum number of Windmills you can have in your camp from 5 to 8.

Purchase 15 'Rotor Enhancer Upgrades' (found in the Shop under the 'Extra' tab. This will give you one energy per hour, per windmill extra. Total maximum increased energy per hour is 176.

Personally I don't have any social media accounts..... I think it would be great not to have to be FORCED to have Facebook to reap the benefits of Windmills, God Children & Gifting System.....we should be able to have these benefits from simply having Friends gained from both this forum & in game.....NOT Facebook

@ROMI you may find this thread interesting to read as it shows more players that do NOT want to be FORCED into having Facebook to be able to have in game Friends & the benefits of Windmills, God Children & Gifting System.

Happy-Haze

pixel_player94109065

Have you checked out your "Decorations Lock" in your game settings menu?

To be able to move, place or sell....your "Decorations Lock" needs to be switched OFF (red).

https://wiki.diggysadventure.com/index.php?title=Pillars

Caravans are now Segmented (different options for each region).

You can send your caravans to:
Buy basic materials & cooking ingredients with coins.

Sell coins & (leftover) materials for Experience, helping you to level up faster.

You get 150% more experience via Caravans than Pillars.

Selling materials costs 1 Caravan Ticket per Caravan.

Caravan Tickets available in the Shop for 35 gems.

Double production week is the best week to use these.

Just found this, have a question. I play exclusively on my tablet. So if i buy/setup a pillar on the PC side would the XP gained remain and show on mobile ? My guess is that it should (the pillar may not show). Just need confirmation before i spend inventory

EmilyDiggynson

pixel_player76355675

Yes! I play via the app, too, but every now and then I log in through the portal to buy a pillar to level up. Usually I also immediately sell the pillar again.
