So you know all those annoying castle build days that take up 24hours of gnome time and you’re stuck with just one gnome to do everything? Well I think I found the workaround, drop a red gnome that only has minutes left on the clock to start the build. That way, the clock will run out on the gnome, but the build will continue and you’ll still have both blue gnomes available. I just tested it on the 8 hour Pan house and it worked, but have no castles to be built right now. Anyone able to test this theory on a castle build? Like if it will allow a red gnome to build the castle?
EDIT: so it seems I’m the only one who didn’t know this haha. Tbh I didn’t realise I could merge wands or chests until around level 8 either, so I’ll probably figure out a few more well known ‘gamechangers’ as I progress
Yep. I get all my red gnomes down to 2 seconds and then drop it on 4+ hour builds, including castles. It is a game changer! ☺️
I have a little army of red gnomes with less than 45 seconds left on each that are specially assigned to this task.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yup. Used it on all my castles so far :)
For another game changer, you can drop red gnomes onto something that's already being built by a blue gnome. So, for example, you can start building one 15-minute build, immediately drop a red gnome on it, and then use the same red gnome for another 3 15-minute builds. The red gnome will still have a couple of seconds left on it, so you can save it to use on your big 8+ hour builds to not tie up your blue gnomes.
ninja edit: If you drop a red gnome onto something that's already being built by a blue gnome, and the red gnome has less time left than the build will take to finish, you'll use up the red gnome but you won't get your blue gnome back. So you need to use the red gnome with a couple seconds left to start the long builds.
The game changer is actually in the describtion of the red gnomes
Yes, it will
Yup! It will work.
Yep. If you plan it out you can get the red gnome down to 30 or 45 seconds then drop it in the castle.
Yup and if you ha e 2 gnomes that are waiting and you drop the red gnome it doesn’t count so you can use the other 2 gnomes and ha e 3 things building 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I used my last 2 gnomes on rebuilding my mines so just waiting for my next 2 (1 blue hammer away) to wear them down on the 5 min builds then I can finish castle Bunyan. Though I may hold off as don’t really want to open the moon mine yet - accidentally used the coral mine so have a discovery before I wanted it boo.
I didn’t know I could merge wands or chests until like level 10 😂
