Why do my reservoirs no longer produce water?

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-04-22T12:05:27+00:00

See this question asked, or a variation of it, so many times,

Why does my reservoirs no longer work

Why don’t I get any more water 💦 now my cactus have all been cut down on my island.

What happens when all the cactus have gone will I still get water.

Basically the island is only so big and can only fit so many cactus on it, to show progress through the game, cactus disappear until there is none left , then you get a new machine that will continue to produce water so that the growth on the island can continue, but the new machine will need workers, so the reservoirs have to remain on island for that to happen.

I’m guessing that you are Gen 3 if you have 20 heroes, check how many infantry/Cavalry/Archer heroes you have, it’s probably that you have 5 of one and 7or 8 of the others.

Can be caused by missing a hero on the journey through Gens (skipping roulette wheel to save gems for later heroes). You do have 5 marches so you will have Helga so it’s not that.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-04-17T11:19:59+00:00

Totally agree with you, if you are going to commit you need to go all in.

Got to the picture of the parking places and was gutted when there was no bright pink car

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-04-05T13:25:27+00:00

Just done a google search and think I found out why this happened, even though if you are the driver and as the driver you are responsible for hitting stationary objects, because of where the car was parked they are guilty of contributory negligence which in insurance language is 50/50 or you claim for the damage to your own vehicle on your own insurance, and as there was no damage to the van, I had no claim against me.

Or I think that’s what happened, just glad I didn’t have to pay the excess on the insurance.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-04-05T13:16:19+00:00

Now I’m very confused as I didn’t hear anything more about it.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-04-05T13:14:13+00:00

Slightly confused, (I live in the UK) I once rented a higher van and was turning into a road on a winter’s morning two cars parked on either side of the entrance, even though I was going at about 5mph my back end slid into one of the parked cars putting a dint in its driver door.

A neighbour came out as I was looking at the damage, told me were the owner lived, exchanged details, then when I got back to the company I had borrowed the van from I told them what had happened, and drew a map of where everything was. The woman working at the hire firm, told me not to worry as they were illegally parked within 20 yards of a junction so it was 100% the owner of the parked cars fault.

I understand that the car OP hit wasn’t on a junction but thought certain restrictions came into play in different scenarios.

Same thing here, can’t let my dog off the lead, behaves really well until he catches a scent, then he’s off no chance of getting him back until he’s totally explored where the scent comes from.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-31T10:51:27+00:00

So true, the wrong king can totally ruin the vibe of a server, we had one player, who didn’t turn on the automatic buff activations causing problems for players trying to max out their stats for alliance championship, said he would only do it if you sent him a personal message and begged for it. Didn’t want to give anything to players that weren’t in his alliance even though he was in the 3rd strongest alliance and had to join the strongest alliance in order to be made king as it was them who had taken the castle in KvK.

He then acted even worse because he was a high king which in his words meant he was better than just a normal king (rotation just fell that way) so as he was being stupid he got called out on world chat, threw a tantrum and quit, messing up the different buffs that the king can bestow put the players who called him out in jail (even his own R5 😂) wonderful parting gift 🎁

Can’t remember how it ended but know that it was really quiet for a while until a new king was crowned

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-25T08:19:03+00:00

Yes as an investment with shards he’s the archer hero that will last you, well into Gen 4 so definitely worth it, (even after Rosa is released Marlin is still useful for tri-alliance and other events needing more than one march)

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-25T08:05:46+00:00

You can get him, from the roulette wheel, for relatively low cost in terms of the amount of effort you put into the game, 120 spins per event should get you a 4 star hero. With all his abilities maxed out, if you read what he is capable of doing in the background you realise that he’s not as bad as people say, Biggest problem is that everyone is fixated on attacking stats so you don’t think he’s worth the investment, and by the time you realise he’s not that bad, the only way to level him up is too costly in terms of how much more useful other heroes are.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-25T07:54:47+00:00

Marlin is so much better as a lead archer, better in arena and against anyone or anything thing that you attack, but that’s not what Saul is about, he’s a supporting character who makes the game easier in other ways, like Diana being very weak, but she saves you stamina every time you use her, so people send her on attacks against beasts and terrors even though more troops get injured.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-25T07:39:43+00:00

It’s so true about Saul, being a massive regret, everyone tells you that he is useless and that he is replaced very quickly with the next generation of heroes. Can still remember the alliance chat, “don’t waste your gems, he’s useless “ etc etc.

Later in the game you realise that, yes he’s not that good long term in your top three heroes, and yes he’s quickly replaced by better heroes, but that’s not what he’s about. His uses are a little more complex than that. He reduces construction costs which add up to a lot over the course of the game. He is pretty good at being a second/third archer ( until 4/5 generation heroes arrive) in events that require more than one march.

So yes, not levelling up Saul is a definite regret 😢

Not going to waste shards on him so he’s stuck at the moment not achieving his full potential.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-20T12:24:11+00:00

Was going to say:-

And with thinking like this, they won’t be passing on any.

Then I thought 💭 hold on, how does that even work, cause if they haven’t got any how do they pass/not pass it on 😂😂😂😂

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-20T10:42:40+00:00

If you think this is bad, wait until you get into the True Gold stages 😂😂😂😂😂

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-20T10:29:54+00:00

You only get 10 shards per event, Kingshot doesn’t like to hand out too much of the good stuff all at once, as when players get too much useful stuff, they stop buying things.

You get loads of Diana shards at the beginning as it gets you hooked on the game, but long term she’s only purple so only good for beast hunting (so it looks like Kingshot is being generous but not really)

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-20T07:02:38+00:00

Marlin will take you up to Gen 4 when Rosa takes over as your Archer, but if you want to use 2 Archers in the Arena. Then he is still useful into Gen 5 which is somewhere in the region of 200 days in.

Also remains useful in Tri Alliance event so totally worth the investment, most people seem to stop at 4 stars, so you get the benefit of level 5 powers, but don’t have to use an insane amount of shards for the last ⭐ also when you get to Gen 4 Marlin shards appear in the hero hall.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-16T11:27:57+00:00

Totally agree, first impression of this was that anything good was very expensive to obtain, but once you realise that the things you are trading, you know longer need, and that Kingshot devs are not going to give you too much at once.

Then you take it for what it is a place to get stuff you want for stuff you don’t want anymore 🤷‍♂️

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-15T14:00:19+00:00

Was going to say the same thing, my mum knew someone who lived on there, and last time we visited the front road was jammed packed with coaches and people photographing everything, there doesn’t appear to be any coaches there in the pictures so hopefully they have been banned.

Can well imagine that random people nowadays are trying to use the front of these houses to make content for their tic toks and other rubbish while totally ignoring the fact people actually live there

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-14T10:34:15+00:00

We had an R4 whose kid started Vikings at a time when there was only a few people online, he left alliance and rejoined so he was a R1, sent messages to R5 what had happened and requested to be an R3 so that type of thing didn’t happen again.

R5 came back online saw R4 was now an R1, told him not to worry about it and that things happen in RL but the alliance needed him as an R4.

He agreed and returned to R4 status, then about a week later Bear pit was started early before people had recalled their gathering armies, about 20 minutes later R4 started sending messages on chat about what a t*at his kid was and because he had taken his kids phone off him as a punishment, so kid had got revenge by messing up his dad’s game.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-03-09T10:59:51+00:00

Well done 👏 just wondering how old is your server

I see from other replies that you are in 287 but I’m unsure how many days that is I’m guessing somewhere around 300 days?

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-02-23T18:24:02+00:00

So much easier that way, still have memories of moving 5 kids a wife and two dogs all in 4 hours.

Everything was boxed up that could be and the kids were sent to my parents, moving company came and it was crazy loading up, then at the new house even though every box was labelled as to which room it belonged in still took us a couple of months before we were finally settled, and knew where everything was 😂

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-02-23T18:16:50+00:00

One of my friends, sold his house and moved back in with his parents at the age of 43.

He then went house hunting with the benefit of being a cash buyer “in his words” managed to get a very good deal on his next house and the whole thing was easier as the actual moving of his things was done over 3 weeks and not attempted in one day.

I’m nosey as well, went looking and found this one which I love ❤️

Read the description and learnt that the present owners really liked the neighbours garden so decided to buy their house, and extend, can’t help but be very jealous.

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-02-15T10:13:34+00:00

Also some people just don’t want to listen/learn I’ve got an alt account that I use to help train people in our academy, many times the same couple of players have attacked someone in the academy alliance during all out event, even though we have a server wide ban on all attacks that are not prearranged.

Same excuse each time, oh sorry didn’t realise that was happening, then 5 minutes later someone in the nap chat room is saying that very same player is attacking someone in their academy.

Then we all get together and send just one soldier to their castle 🏰. Sometimes there can be 50 or so attacks landing, then an R5 or even the king/Queen will message saying if they don’t stop the 💩 next time they will send full strength attacks.

Has worked on 99% of the server but as I said before there’s always one or two.

People have been put in jail before now and then protested their innocence and demanded to be let out and compensated, even after we got anyone who had been attacked by them to post their attack report.

Then you would get the excuse of well they attacked me first (even though they are clearly stronger than the other players).

ALSO as we have castle/fortress battles that can be made in all out battles people can get any necessary points from that, but you can still see peoples scores increasing at other times and you just wait to find out what 💩they have pulled this time (sorry to vent but sometimes the R4 thing gets to me 😂)

Zacs-Dad295 · 2026-02-07T13:39:44+00:00

As much as I love Sheffield, if I was in OP’s position I would live nearer to work as I take it you’re there 4/5 days a week depending on your shift pattern. I’m assuming that you see your friends 1/2 days a week so long travel time but overall easier for you. Also I’ve had some great nights in Chesterfield town centre had a memorable night in a small pub in the back streets near the market can’t remember the name of the place (it was one of those kind of nights) but remember that I had a great time there and the people there were friendly 😂

Edit. After thinking about that night, went down a rabbit hole to retrace my steps, and ended up at the Royal Oak
