Motivation Kits. How do they work?

[DeletedUser108326]

So far I have

1. Click on kit in inventory. Click on building to motivate. Next goods/money collection doubled.
2. Collection not doubled if goods/money is already ready to collect.
3. Any friend or guild member could have motivated the building after you have used the kit, this would have had the same result.
4. If all your buildings are motivated before you collect, chances are you wasted the kit as someone would be told ‘no buildings to motivate’?

Is all this true? Have I missed anything?

1 is correct. I'm not sure about 2. 3 and 4 are wrong. Once it's motivated, a building can't be remotivated. So you can't use a motivation kit if all your buildings are motivated, and other players can't motivate a building on which you've used a motivation kit.

Motivation kits can only be used on most normal buildings. Certain Special buildings cannot be motivated with kits. They cannot be used on buildings whose timer has finished and are ready for collection.

Only unmotivated buildings can be aided by visiting friends and guild members but if motivated they will still receive the coin for visiting only no opportunity for BPs.

1 and 2 are true, 3 and 4 are false. The kit is only spent after you confirm you want to motivate a building.

If I use the mot kit I do the same as if someone else mots a building for me?
If I do it on a particular building, then someone comes to mot a building (or click on aid below my name) and gets a message that all buildings have been motted the aid is wasted, if I had not used an aid kit on that building they could have motted it?
What I am saying is, if I regulary get all my buildings motted the chances are I will be wasting a mot kit?
That also appears in question 4.

Theoretically, yes: if you have so many visitors that all your buildings normally get motivated anyway, using a motivation kit is probably a waste of time.

best time to use is before you collect

but that needs a change in how they work

Motivation kits can only be used on most normal buildings. Certain Special buildings cannot be motivated with kits.

in other words:
motivation kits can be used on all buildings that can be motivated

Maybe you then can divert extra aids to polish, maybe a maypole or something like that. Yep, in this case maybe they'd be able to motivate that building that you eecided to motivate with a kit, but it might be possible they be too late to motivate it, and their aid will still be wasted and your building won't get motivated. The kit is a tradeoff between you betting on a building that you want motivated would be motivated by aiding, and spending it to make sure it will.
