Suggestion: Moving Decorations From One Farm To Another... ⏳

Rusty Farmer (AU1)

We can now dismantle decorations and use their remains to enhance other decorations on ANY farm. Therefore this idea is now redundant and I suggest that a forum moderator now close this thread.

It would be good if we could move the decorations from one farm to another...

No @Gaga_87 (INT1) it won't although It might seem so at first glance. But changing this would take out the very backbone of the game. Making the game too easy would take out all the fun in figuring things out and planning ones strategy...

Read several pages back (especially the CM's posts) and you'll understand why.

I like the idea of moving decos, but we don't need Greta for that.  They just have to make the drop box global.

Maybe add an option that allows Greta the landscape architect to sell us the ability to move a decoration from its current farm to a different farm.

Suggestion
Cost of moving decorations to another farm
Amount of dollars needed=1000*normal happiness+4000*village happiness 
Amount of decoration parts needed = 0.75*normal happiness + 3*village happiness

Transferring decorations between farms (with a delay or penalty)
- Not currently planned.

So you see, it is possible if only the developers/planners/designers would do it.  It is just a matter of whether or not they (the Powers that Be) want to.

I would like to be able to use stored decos from another farm on a different but I believe GGS has a good point & they do allow you to sell them in pop up for upgrade material so you don't just lose them & get nothing.

My co-op is thinking ahead about the new future permanent farm. We are thinking about what decos to place on the farm when it arrives. That made us think of all the decos we have on different farms that no longer fit the theme we finally settled upon as we grew with the game.

We would like to make a suggestion for the Landscape Architect to have a new tab that allows us to relocate 1 deco each visit for either free or a small amount of cash, and another deco with a small amount of gold. You could even up the gold per extra item. This would give the people that might be able to squeeze a little money out for the first one (prefer it to be a free one) and then a small amount of gold for the second one. 

Just food for thought. We end up tossing items we might use for a theme and this would be a way to use some of those items we really do not want to lose but they do not fit the farms they are on. It would be a money maker for the creators, so it would be a win, win for both parties.

I am not sure who to contact, so hoping you might be able to shoot this in the right direction. if I stumble across the proper channels on my own, I will send this again. Have a great day. Thanks.

As a halfway measure how about making items in the drop-box available for all farms?  I dont need 3 dragons of light on my gourmet farm, but one would look lovely on the main farm - but its only available from the drop box on the gourmet farm,  Or, as GGS just love to make us spend gold, charge us 5 gold for each move?  If we want it badly enough we'll pay it, if not we wont!  (and yes, I'd spend a couple of gold to move the things I want, but no more than about 50 of the precious shiny stuff!)

Maybe the team will get some time to once again look into this. Last year we were told that it would be possible to transfer a deco from one farm to another. But nothing happened. This thread started in 2013 - and now is 2018 - 5 years - how long can it take to make this happen.

Can it be made possible to move decorations from one farm to another? That would be awesome.

i thought this was a farming game not a hidden object game so stop with the hidden stuff like the candies and other stuff

Hmmm....My thoughts on this subject.

1. Combine the "decoration inventories" of the 3 existing farms into 1 GLOBAL decoration inventory which can be used on ANY farm.
100 max + 100 max + 100 max = 300 total.. ok add another 100 units for the upcoming volcano farm.  Thats 400 max decorations into one global inventory which can be used on any farm.

2. Impose a REBUILD TIME on ALL decorations.
 ( Do you think they would make it that easy for us? hahahahaha )

OK now think about the complexity of what it would take to convert the existing setup--that already works-- into this new one... and pray that your beloved decorations dont go missing in some random error... And you'll now have to keep track of 400+ decorations in one global inventory.  My memory isn't that great at remembering menial details and look at GGS's track record at upgrading things, not so perfect in the bugs-errors-glitches department.   And I think GGS is pressed to deliver NEW content rather than refining the current structure...but we can always hope for improvement.

It would be great if we where allowed to move our decorations round from one farm to another just for one day, lots of us put decs on farms we wished we had out on our other farms but cannot move them, please allow us to change them round for one day or even just once.

JVD (US1)

I totally agree, have seen other people mention this as well. Since we have a dropbox where newly won/purchased decos go and can be seen by each farm so they can be placed where we want, why not set up a communal storage for decos we take off one of our farms and then can be seen by all farms and placed where we want?

There is a decoration park feature sheduled in near future:

Well, its not realy clear what would it bring exactl,y but some changes in decoration system are therefore planed already.
