Village happiness
Here is a comparison between a player that is at level 62 and one that is 35
The smaller player is paying 3 times the cost of the higher player because they can't get the village happiness decorations they need to lower the costs. This smaller member of the coop has only been playing for a month, so has not seen many holiday decorations.
village happiness
lv 35 Lv 62
I can't see a mathematical explanation for the numbers, I have a village happiness of +259 with decorations that total 105, they have a village happiness of +55 with decorations that total 14, which I might add are all the decorations they have been able to get so far. I would not feel it was fair to ask a player half the level I am at, to make items that cost them 3 or more times the cost. It doesn't seem that Village activities are for the new players, and I imagine that players twice my size are paying much less then I am paying even though they are much more able to afford to buy village dollars. There seems to be something else that contributes to village happiness other then just the decorations from the numbers above, but research doesn't provide any answers so far.

I'm level 54 and the co-op I'm in is not active anymore, people just abandoned the game and are never online.
Our Village Level is 75 and the stats are as follows:
- Construction progress -267
- Village happiness +136
- Happiness -131
- Production cost dollars +144%
- Production cost Gold +12%
The cost of producing the above same items:- Resin 34,262
- Paint 92,996
I can't do much, honestly... And like you said, donating 10k apples for an event that gives a deco with 3 village happiness is pretty futile. There needs to be some scaling implemented to the entire Village idea.The levels of all and any built building in your co op village and future upgrades, will take away from the total average of the co op VH.
There are sites available that tell you all the tasks for each event, make use of them to plan ahead, so that you get the possible start on each task when you reach it & be flexible with your farm, if you always keep some free workers available, you can temporarily pick up some decos & build an extra apple orchard or 2 or another pig sty & then demolish it again after that task & maybe build something else for the next task.
As for "waste of time and resources to give away all that produce for almost no reward" sometimes completing something is its own reward, but in this case, the reward is the deco that you need & there are smaller rewards for each task. If you think about, yes you could sell 5000 apples, but you could also get a deco that reduces your costs enough that you save on all your productions & end up better off than you would have been if you sold them.
Lastly, I took a look at your numbers in your earlier post. You are on the right track, the village happiness does come from the decos that you have built (plus the village pond) but you may have missed some when you were counting them, I made your total VH from your decos 217 (not 105) - If you switch your farm to outline view, you will find it much easier to count them.
I frequently use the outline mode, and counted my points in that mode 3 times, just recounted them again and that is what I get 105, + the additional 5 points from a decoration I just put down. I did miss the gold fish pond though, not sure how to count that amount, there are two numbers ia 32 and a 5, I imagine the 5 is what is added to my points. I am still perplexed at the points, that is one thing about this game that annoys me, there is no way to figure things out, no way to figure out if things are working properly. Truth be told with the daily bugs present there are probably many many more we just don't see because there is no way to count them or figure them.
I have done a lot of research on this game and there are an amazing amount of things that are never explained, maybe my analytical bend of mind is not for a game like this lol When you harvest crops multiple times, and I have 6 fields, and end up with 5 or 6 drops out of 340, you know it will take days.
I would like to say I do not shy at challenges, challenges is what most of my life is about, but after striving with all my might at something several times in a row and failing, it is probable that the challenge is impossible at that time without more resources.
When your happiness was +259 in your 1st post, that was calculated like this:
Decos on Main Farm = 125
Decos Gourmet Farm = 71
Decos on Flower Farm = 21
Village pond (32+5) = 37
Cat (on Main farm) = 5

Total = 259
