What a waste of time and development in the game! Who came up with this idea! Fire them! I got the new Powered by ads factory, and I have been trying to clear my 3 animal feeds in production for 4 days now! - a stupid 24 hour windows in between watching 4 sets of ads, with 1/2 hr run production time, for 6 hour animal feed production’s! STUPID STUPID STUPID! AT LEAST PUT THE ADS ON A 24 hour rolling clock! 24 hours after watching ad 1, after watching Ad 2, etc. I asked for more factories! At least 1 Clean no pollution nano tech factory per suburb - suggested purple platinum rabbit epic Cog pieces to speed up nano tech factories!

I quite agree! It has taken nearly a week to produce 3 electric components. I get 1 hour twice a day. I am sure it didn’t run initially for an hour. Still waiting for electric components to finish. After they have I will store the factory as it is a waste of time.

2 people in my club got this experiment. And it is an experiment according to the help line. I received an email saying they were waiting to see how it worked before rolling it out to all mayors. Well, even if they do, based on response from member of our club who got the AB Factory, I wouldn’t built it or use it. If you are in a club, tell all your club members to boycott this idea. It is really stupid.

Well, as the experiment continues, my electric components had 1 hour and 5 minutes to go. After another hour they still have 1 hour to go! Something is drastically wrong with the timer!

I feel once they fix the glitches it should be interesting to use. I wish it offered to build OMEGA products though. Something different for the extra effort.

One ad will only power the factory for 30 minutes. Once the 30 minutes has elapsed you need to watch another ad for a further 30 minutes of production time. Once your 4 ad limit for the day is up, you must wait until the next day to start watching ads so that your factory will continue the production.

I had a similar experience with animal feed. 4 - 1/2 hour times per 24 hour period .. and yet some how my animal feed got on a 15 min- delay? Didn’t produce for 1/2 of the 1/2 hour production timer??
I don’t know, but I do know it took 4 day to produce 3 animal feeds! Complete waste of time!

After another hour the electric components still have an hour to go! They just will not complete production!

Another advert, another hour, except the components did not continue production until a minute after the factory resumed, so they will still not complete within this hour!

@VernissaI haven’t fully decided to delete the Ad factory yet.. if I set a timer on my phone I can get 9 pieces of plastic out the 1/2 hour beta version. - If they’re going to do this stupid factory, make it worth our while with 12 items all at being produced. With in the dumb timeframe. And preferably 2 - 1 hour vs. 4 - 1/2 hours.
