New Math with happiness?

I have been at this for over a year but something has happened today that I just don't get.

upgraded simple house from level 4 to level 5.  so went from -120 to -145 happiness  That meant change of -25 happiness.  percentage went down from 85% to 80%.  Now comes the rub. --- I have already added 45 happiness in deco's and am only back up to 82% happiness.   With this new math I will have to triple happiness I lost just to stay even.   Can anyone explain these numbers to me?    Has the formula changed?   

Comments

  • to add to above, have already added 77 more happiness and only back up to 84% so is already more than triple what I lost to update simple house and still not back up where I was.  I am hopeful that someone can help me figure out this new math.

  • Thanks Flittermouse.  I did try that although it did not work.    I had already signed out this morning and turned computer off before going to work.  I am back on home computer and no change when first signing on this evening.  Then saw your message.  I DID try it but still no change.   Thank you for suggesting it though.

    @lelkilroy (US1) I don't know the numbers (I'm not a math person) but the happiness formula was changed a while back. As you get higher in happiness, the more difficult it becomes to decrease the production costs. Way back when it was relatively easy to get to 100% but GGS decided to change that formula (probably because they didn't like the production farms) so that it would be more challenging to increase happiness. Once you get to a certain point, its harder to increase the happiness and decrease the production costs. There were some threads about this, once upon a time, but I don't recall the titles to search for them and they could have been lost in the transfer to the new forum.

    As jess said, the change in the happiness formula came with the rework of the Gourmet farm update and was meant to make it too difficult to operate a "factory farm", which the company has never encouraged. This effort was fruitless since those with such farms merely adjusted to the new formula. The threads pertaining to the new happiness formula were lost in the archives when we moved to the new forum. :)
  • Thank you to Jess D and Farmer John.  I guess I finally "got to that point"    I understand why the game changed it.  Never seemed worth it to me to go to 100%.  Law of diminishing returns.   But I try to keep it around 85.   WIth so much going on right now in game - I am being very careful to watch everything.  Thanks so much for the information. both of you.   To bad the info got lost. 
  • I'm at +471% on the main farm and still rollin' in cash...
