Heya fellas,

Thought I'd bring a little more math to the table to simplify things. We are comparing the following: maximum nest output per day vs maximum field output per day.

If you assume that you will never be away from the game for more than hours, then the training field option is in constant production all the time (1200 g/hr if upgraded to lvl 2). This means that the training field produces 28800 per day.

For simplicity sake, let's assume that you only are reaping the monster nest when it is at max storage. This occurs every 4h 14 m for a lvl 2, then each time you reap it, you get 3800. From spacing allocations, you also can have 2 monster fields per training field. So basically, monster nests produce 3800*2*N gold per day where N is the number of times that you reap the monster nest per day.

Now for a bit of algebra:    3800*2*N > 1200 *24

Summary: This simplifies to N > ~3.8. In english, this boils down to this: if you can reap your monster nests at maximum capacity more frequently than an average of 3.8 times a day, get nests. If you don't think you can check the game an average of 3.8 times a day with 4h in between each harvest, then go with fields.

No need to get mad about these things guys. It's just a bit of simple algebra. You might not like my assumptions, but they really do make this a pretty easy problem. Also, I could have made a mistake about something here, so feel free to correct me.
