    Wonderful compilation! Thank you!
    What is the happiness of my telescope ?

    FYI, both the bar and the "i" include the ranking bonus in the displayed happiness, but the actual happiness that was paid for is shown by hovering over the total on the bar. It's important to point that out, because people who are close to the bottom of a range will probably get pushed out of it and lose their ranking bonus before the end of the event.

    For instance, my current 47 is bound to drop to 43 in a matter of hours.

    Awesome again Manish!

    Does anybody know for sure when the appearance of the telescope changes? I have enough happiness for a simple one again, but if it's not too much, I would love to go for a beautifull one :)


    Edit: I think the line is at 50 or 51, around there I got a beautiful telescope.

    Manish, I visited a farm (forgot the name) and saw that, the owner of the farm had Beautiful Telescope with only :)51
    So how can you say that we get Beautiful Telescope at :)55 and higher ????

    I think ss02092 (post #10) may be right... The type of telescope you receive depends on the base happiness you get, discounting any ranking bonus.

    I don't know how much I have donated so far, but, at present, my reward is Beautiful Telescope with 67 Happiness (62 + 5(bonus for ranking on 4-100)).


    P.S. I donated a bit more and, now, at 64 base happiness, 69 total happiness, I get a Valuable Telescope.

    Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Tried looking in announcements and didn't see it.

    This charity event. (car above farm.) How much, EXACTLY do I have to donate to get the telescope prize? OR get to the next step what ever that is?

    If this works like a mission, where people keep buying gold just to stay ahead of the pack, tell me now. I'll just avoid the thing.

    You could give just $1 but it will give virtually no Happiness.

    The more you give the more Happiness your telescope will give.

    There's quite a discussion in the official discussion when it first came out. Farmers say what value Happiness they got for the dollar donation they gave

    http://en.board.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/showthread.php?72555-Discussion-thread-for-quot-Update-16.07-new-orphanage-charity-drive-quot&p=835569&viewfull=1#post835569

    And post #107 even has a farmer generated equation to help you. Its not a GGS provided formula so don't rely on its accuracy, but may give you a guide

    This comment in the thread Rhon mentioned gives a list of approximations for farm dollars to happiness. Based on the amount I just donated and the happiness I'm getting for it, it's still reasonably accurate. This is the best deal for decorations that you can buy, by the way.

    Basically, decide how much money you're willing to spend, check to see how much happiness you can buy for that, and decide whether you want to do it. For instance, on two of my farms I just upgraded the farmhouse and the restaurant, so what I can afford right now is not worth it — I have better decorations in storage! — so unless I earn a lot more money by the end of the week than I anticipate, I'm skipping the event this time. On my third farm, though, I'm always scrabbling for better happiness, so I've taken a chunk of money that I had been saving to upgrade my farmhouse, because I can always do that later, but this event doesn't come around often.

    If you have more spare money before the event is over, you can increase your donation to get more happiness if you want to.

    At the end of the event, if you're in the top 1000 donations on your server, you will get one or more additional happiness points. It's better to assume you won't and be pleased if you do, than to assume you will and then be annoyed if you get edged out or down to a lower tier. For instance, right now my WWW farm is at rank 35 which would add 5 extra happiness to the 57 I bought, but since this is only the first day of the event I expect to be pushed way down from there before it's over.

    Ok, I think I get it. One of my coop members helped explain it too. (I'm the op by the way, logged into another farm right now.)

    I just love the idea of some different decor. Will try to at least land in the middle. I have no hopes of getting a top spot. Middle ground would be nice.

    Does the decor piece itself have any happiness to it at all? Say someone just donates a dollar to get it?
    (Off to go click it again and see if it says.)

    $1 is minimum, but that amount has virtually no happiness level.

    I am going to partake in the event ONLY if Steve gets here first--I am a bit low on funds and the telescope I did get cost a heap of money. I don't really have to have another telescope.

    This particular decoration has a variable value, so the happiness you donate for is the happiness the telescope will have. You might as well spend more than a dollar and get something useful! Just don't spend so much it hurts. ;)

    Also, it has four cosmetic variations, three depending on its happiness, and one that only the top 3 on each server get. Prince Manish included pics of them in this info post that I just remembered.

    Artmaker = FlowerChild = UserDIgger? Hmm, read something new every day XD Good to know that!

    Also, technically this event is a race against the millions. Around the end, some will have spent tens of millions to get the best deco. You could still only donate what you think it is worth, but to get a nice value you will need to spend a couple of million. Do make sure you donate towards the base value though, as the value you get from the rankings may change when you fall out of the top 100 or so.

    We use farm dollars for this one, not gold :) I have donated 15,000 so far and my telescope is worth 19 happiness. As I donate more dollars, my happiness will go higher. It does take more dollars to raise the happiness each time it goes up.

    A well dec is 15,000 dollars for 18 happiness and a fountain is 35,000 dollars for 18 happiness. They are a bit smaller in size and the telescope is a 5x5 size, but I have the room for it. :)

    Larino, yup. All three tiz me. In hindsight, if I'd have known, I could have used the same user name.
    oh well.


    Anyway, I'm not going to go insane with this. My artmaker farm has me in the middle ranking but that may change.


    So..... we have to wait six days of donating before we get the thing right? So not like other events with several "tasks"?

    I don't have millions. Takes me several days to get one mil. (I do have a life.)

    I like the telescope. And I see just having it acts like any other decor. The other thing is a perk but again, not going to go nuts trying to climb on top of the pile. Too many people toss gold at it just to be on top. don't care.
    I just like the decor mainly.

    cheers. Thanks for explaining it.

    With one exception: it does not count for any of the "Have X decorations on your farm" tasks. Replace it with a flowerbed or something when you need to do those.

    If you pay 250.000 dollars, which is what a lake costs, you get a telescope of a base happiness of 40, which is more then the lake. Just for that reason I think it's a good buy.

    You also don't have to wait until level 47 to get it, either, which is of great importance to many players!

    Just one thing from me, on a personal note: Please refrain from using expressions like these, it's somewhat demeaning to other players - there are plenty of reasons why one would be able to spend a lot of time with the game: People who play the game maybe from work, or because they're working at home, or because they're unemployed at the moment, or because they visit the school or university and so on :) I know how you meant it, of course, and I'm not mad at all, so no worries. As I said it's just a personal pet peeve of mine ^^

    This maybe a rather newbie question but i am fairly new to the game and loving it by the way :) Will this event come around again or is it a one time thing? Because its almost impossible for me to save for a better telescope with the level i am on, but if it was offered again when i am a higher level i might be able to do it. thanks

    Yes.....I've only been playing for a couple months and I got a telescope about a month ago now I guess. Either way they have "special events"where you can get things so if it's not specifically the "orphanage" it will be something else.
