Water

can we get rid of water as a prize (mystery boxes and HWE come to mind), i've always thought it was a totally duff prize and now especially since they increased the max storage to 1,000

water and prize strike me as an oxymoron

    I like water in my mystery boxes.. Without 'em, I'd run out of water. :)




    <-- Packrat. :)

    Yea, must admit, I am always short of water to make special crops....   Dung on the other hand...  I have 0.25M of that... lol

    really?

    my nursery's are going 24/7 pretty much and i currently have near 700 water, how the hell you run out of the stuff?

    I'm kind of with Corvid on this one.  I looked up one day to find out I had 950 water.  Huhh??  I didn't even know they'd increased the storage capacity for it, so you know how surprised I was.  I'm not a packrat like Southern, but I keep enough special seeds around to have more than I use and I can't seem to get below 975 water.

    Yes, it is too bad no neighbors want big bags of dung!  I have a bottomless pit of the stuff!  :o

    I only have one nursery right now, and try to keep it going, but I do run out of water, so I don't hate it as a prize.  (I just don't jump up and down about it.)

    However, the winner in the ridiculous prize category for me is breeding corn.  Seriously?  If you plant corn at all, you're up to your eyeballs in breeding corn. :)

    dung is your best friend if they run the same xmas event this year - cherish it

    I am ALWAYS running out of water, all that I get from mystery boxes is very welcome :)

    Me too....I always appreciate the water droplets! :)

    Can the drop rates of breeding jasmine be increased?  So far I harvested 5 times and only got 1.

    Cherish that one box of jasmine dchen1, I have harvested jasmine 10 times(needed it for a Village counter challenge) I have a grand total of 1 jasmine breeding boxes. Lavender fell quickly, so I did get to use the nursery....once.

    Agree with corvid on this one......water is a dud prize in my opinion. It was a bit like getting feed from boxes, so disappointing!

    I agree with the feed from the boxes, I can make my own, but do appreciate the water from the mystery boxes.

    Premium pig feed, premium fertilizer and certificates drops in too low quantities.  Dollars should increase according to player level, can get x1(currently 7500), x2(15000), or x3(can be added).  Regular mining licenses should be removed from the possible prizes or make the mine increase the dollars earned depending on player level.

    one thing i would say, im not sure how valuable (or not, as the case may be) some of these prizes we consider duff may be to new or lower level players. for most of them i find it hard to wind back the clock and think how useful they may be.

    that said, i can see the premium products being of use to lower level players who cannot make their own due to laboratory upgrade costs when starting out. altho i find it hard to make a case for most of the others, and i agree with @dchen1 (US1) that regular mining licences are particularly disappointing when they pop out of a mystery box, about as welcome as a kick in the nuts tbh (i'd remove them from the game totally as they're just pointless, even at starting level).

    i still find it surprising at how many have responded that they welcome water as a prize, i srsly dont know how dudes are running out of water, the only use i can think of it is for the nursery and as i run mine continually and have stacks of water always, i just dont know what others are doing differently to be in that position (two of my nursery are on gold levels but only very low, so i dont think it makes much difference overall)

    Off topic: while we're talking about prizes, can someone pleaaaaaaaaaaase reduce the hit rate for landing on a Pavilion in the Wheel of Fortune - it's like a magnet, so many Pavilions..... if you could up the % chance of landing on Appearance in the Jackpot round, that would be nice as well cos since they changed the prizes i've landed on Appearance a whopping 0 times, yes that's ZERO, after the amount of spins i've had since the change, to never have landed on Appearance once is, to be frank, utterly ridiculous

    Wheel pavilions would not be so disappointing if they had village happiness points to them....hint hint!
  • I have 3 nurseries and I am still sitting at 1000 water.  All 3 are always working.   I agree water is a NON prize, please replace.

    exactly

    it's not just a figment of my imagination then....

    @FarmerCli (US1)  You can  never have too much poop, use it in the lab & you will soon see it disappear lol
  • 24-KL0V3R (US1)24-KL0V3R (US1) US1 Posts: 2,464
    Are you kidding?!  I have a bottomless pit full of the stuff...somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 of it....I produce over 600 bags of fertilizer and have about 24,000 bags of premium fertilizer...I sure wish I could give folks who need dung a boat load of it!!! I gather more dung than I can possibly make into fertilizer...I have to sell the fertilizer because my barns are so full of it.
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784

    Save it for Santa's Wish List. At least you can get rid of it and it'll be worth something that way. :)

    The opposite problem for me, Gardens make just enough crops to make feed and support 2 duck coops and 1 donkey stables, Have 2 cowsheds.  I wait for a mission I want to appear before harvesting stables because tractors require thousands of certificates.  Takes a day to collect enough dung for 100 fertilizer.  I use construction slot on deep sea fishing to make better profit than adding fields.  I upgrade orchards to make the production more efficient.  If I have too much of something, I upgrade what uses it the most.  The shop still can only make 1 batch of soaps no matter how much I upgrade it.  I start to get too much wax from just 2 level 3 apiarys.

    @dchen1 (US1)  just wait til you get to a much higher level and have most of your farms really running at a profit which they will... just takes time as it does for all of us... enjoy the journey, do what works best for you and have fun doing it!!! :)
