To bullet point 3: At least 1 donation needs to be made by any member over the course of the event in order to unlock the basic lowest deco (think telescope event for those who know it).
Honestly, I don't care about decos (have full inventory of them), i just wish hard work rewards were better, that would be better motivation for me personally
It would've been much better if the 'evolution' of decoration wasn't tied to weekly goal, but rather with happiness level achieved by donations, and if we all donated to 'one pot' so to say - it would give us much better chances for progress and better sense of team work within the coop
@CM Nafaru Please clarify, you said above:
"If you only manage to finish one or more orders partially, you will have to start that week over"
*****Do you only have to repeat the week if other co-op members are unable to help you finish your order?
On the 7th day for any incomplete orders you said:
"All members who have started an order themselves can help out. No need to choose 1 person to help out, you can donate for all remaining open orders."
*****Does that mean that if a player is short say 2,000 olives that 5 players (or more or less) can help to fill that order of olives? Or does it have to be just 1 player to fill the order.
And I thought that when another player helps out the product and amount might change too, will we see that on our screens?
I'm confused!
This is really going to have a BIG negative impact on our farms production, etc. It wouold have been better to just count our items that ake us donate them. But then I guess GGS wants us to buy what we can't produce!
Can't do this, market contracts, Northern Lights too, especially Northern Lights, will have NO MONEY!!! I WILL NOT BUY GOLD TO DO THIS!!!!!
*****I still don't know why GGS had to ruin this and make it into such a terrible event when we were so excited and happy and in the Christmas spirit about it.
GGS GRINCH is right!!!
@CM Nafaru Please reply to my post here, you skipped right over my questions!

I am disappointed in your reply above too. Whether it has been 3 hours, 3 days, or 3 weeks is not relevant, we know our game and our farms. There is absolutely no way that I can produce 4,510 olives with a Level 5 olive tree that makes 85 olives/6 hours x 6 days = 2,040 olives. Even at Level 7 it only makes 90/6 hrs or 2106 in 6 days. If I never missed one time!!!
Others have made statements that show that this is impossible too.
Please do not insult us, by telling us not to panic. We are not panicking, mearly stating the facts. The requests are simply impossible for some products. Do the math. GGS should fix this!! As usual another event filled with fun and anticipation shot down by GGS. this is getting very tiresome, just got my whole Co-op realy fired up and working together, even several getting up in the middle of the night to check on it and now the big disappointment!! Phooey! Guess Santa GGS got us all coal for Christmas!
P.S.
Please delete this post that says please delete, did an oopsie!

I start to regret.
Plus, I have to give 4790 citrus fruits and I am not sure how to make them.
Agreed, as it is now, we are all donating blindly not knowing what we are getting, much better to have a goal.
1, Only 1 member need to make any donation to secure decos, or
2, All members need to make a donation of some sort??
Thanks in advance for any clarification !
As to quantities, I haven't done all the calculations and have no intention to do so, as the event is over for me already. But reading others and their calculations, the direct grab for money (gold), is rather obvious here. So with ample amount of gold on your account it's all doable. Just why? What for? Imo due to balancers work this event makes no sense whatsoever, although the foundation was so well laid.
There's a huge difference in expectations. We players mostly expected some relaxed fun play, especially at Christmas time. GGS on the other hand obviously expected a stream of cash flowing into their coffers. Well, as I sad, Grand Fail imo. But everybody to their ends ........
I don't even know what to say. Or where to begin.
I mean, 25, 070 dung? Seriously? Along with 3,760 peaches which require a ton of dung, and 4,930 fruit cake with cream (again, a ton of cherries needed here). Let's not even mention the rest of my orders, these 3 alone will halt my production and keep all my orchards unfertilized for a week. Not enough goods for the ship, no goods for the bakery or the market, financial loss. And this is supposed to be the easiest week.
I think not even a 2x2 deco with happiness value of 300 could justify this insanity.<GGS voice on>
You can buy the citrus fruits you not can make.
You can also make a better strategy for it: build more citrus orchards and upgrade them (remember you can speed up the build time by skip with the blue gold button)
Ans at least also remember the last day you can get help from your coop friends.
</GGS voice off>
just a joke, could not resist
I have to make a donation of 9140 wheat. I can produce 675 at a time. That would mean that I have to start and harvest 13,54 times wheat production. At 6 hours each time it means that I would be growing wheat for 3.5 days. And I must set my alarm every 6 hours to start it up again. In that time I can"t grow any corn to make food for the chickens, so after one day they are starving. Same for the pigs.
By donating 9140 wheat I give away 274200 dollar. I also have to pay 77322 dollar to plant the wheat. Total deficit of 251522 dollar. Plus the loss of the eggs I can't sell. Plus the loss of XP points because I can"t deliver all the required goods to the boat. This is just one out of seven items Santa wants only this week.
Do I need to calculate more. This isn't falling into panic mode. I did take a look at my farm and at my playstyle. I think I am quite a heavy player. All right, I did not take the time that's available for me in account. I am human, meaning that I do need some sleep at a time. And I have to work too sometimes. Making real money to pay the bills (for example for the cost of internet).
If you want it to be a Santa fun, try to be like Santa. Give instead of taking away. Make playing this game fun, just like the idea of Xmas. Having a good time with each other (and for those involved also all the religious elements).
I hope to see a better reaction soon.
I would have thought the idea of a Christmas event would be to have fun, not to work ourselves to death. Much as I wanted to like this event, and much as I would like to help my co-op, I will not be taking part.
This is the biggest issue, at this size having it is just a prestige thing, cause no one will use it - so you have to pay aprox. 20 million dollars for decoration that you will never use ...
If hard work rewards are not changed, as well as size of decoration and amounts asked, there is no point in participating.
Also, if you are not member of 'perfect' coop, where every spot is filled and every member plays 24/7 on maxed farm, you have no chance of reaching maximum happiness decoration no matter how hard you try.
Summer bouquet -1049
apple pie - 178
wildflower bouquet - 458
pigs - 2487
wheat - 1174
dandelion -198
this is what i donated so far for fantastic 7x7 deco of 11 happiness
Now your example of being short of olives. If a member is short 2,000 olives, all other members who started a contract themselves can help. They might have to donate different products and amounts, though, depending on their player level (a level 20 player cannot donate olives for instance and would have to donate something else in smaller amounts).
As for insulting you, that was definitely not my intention! Sorry!
I would like you all to focus on actual calculations, though, instead of just assuming that each and every order is too hard to fulfill given some examples shown on the forums.
First results of our data analysis show that some users have already almost finished their first order, just some hours after starting the event - without spending a single gold coin, even as a high level player.
This indicates that there could be a discrepancy between perceived difficulty and actual difficulty. Or it could mean that the difficulty changes a lot depending on playstyle, strategy, farm setup and level.
Therefore we would like you to try and remain level-headed and give feedback based on your own orders instead of basing your own experience on experiences of other users (except if you would like to talk for them or emphasize on a general problem you see).
That's all I meant to say. General panic won't help, constructive criticism as well as thinking about potential strategies is more likely to do help in this case.
Only 1 member needs to make 1 donation in order to secure the very basic first decoration with the lowest possible happiness value for all members.
Or maybe they were just lucky with their orders? They have highest possible barns for their level already stocked with asked items?
the balancing issue might come from adjusting the difficulty to player level instead to his barn size i.e My barns are not maxed so i have less storage than someone else on my level of xp, and to upgrade i need an architect (he comes once in blue moon, and stay for few hours, and i'm always building something else).
Sorry to say, but after this event lot of players will leave the game "BIG FARM" Good Game can earn a lot during this event by selling Coins, at the end Good Game will loose more.
This is what I can see from the comments
