    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

    This is the third time we've had the telescope event. And even though you'll get better happiness when you've got a few million to spend on it, you can still get a decent happiness telescope for $100,000 or less. Did you check the first post here for what you can expect to get for the cash you have on hand?

    I believe this event is available from level 20, but it will probably return in a month or so when you will be better able to take advantage of it.

    From my understanding, when i reach a base happiness of 49, that's when i should receive the beautiful telescope. Well i have a base 49 happiness and an extra 5 for being in the top 4-100 and it still shows my reward as being the simple telescope. Have i still got to donate more to get to the beautiful telescope or has the reward picture simply not changed?

    My beautiful telescope has a base happiness of 50 I think. But it is from a previous event. I would say, try to add little bits of money until the graphic shows beautiful. I think it will change at 50 base happiness. But not sure. Just try with a certain amount of points every time :)

    I always give litle money many times in the end to get right smily, and look at the point. And then I save some money. :)

    I donate it all to get the base 50 because if the rules of other orphanage drives applies to this then you get less points everytimme you donate for example if 100k gives you 5000 points the first time then 100k the next time will give you 4000 points :)

    Well I give a lot first time, and get points. But I had to give more. And give litle and litle to smilyes goes up. I then wrote down on papir my points and money, and next time it comes I give up to that points. And it was the same amont of money as the first time when I give a litle and litle. I had read that you wrote before, and I will try it out. And I have tried it to times and every time the money is the same on same smilyes. So i do not think it have nothing to say how you get the money. And it is less money then stand in a tread in forum.

    I have always give the money 5 min after the event start.

    Well, if about 1 million gives a base happiness of 52, and 5 million gives a base value of somewhere in 60, like somebody (I believe Montuos) said, then Ezio will probably be correct. I mean, 50 happiness for a million against 10 to 15 happiness for the next 4 million...... Yeah... And I also noticed it before. At first the happiness races up when you donate just a few 100k. But after that, it goes slower and slower and you need more and more money to get a nice happiness value :)

    The first smilys cost litle, but if you want big happines like I do you have to use millions. Many millions. And if I pay all in ons or I pay a litle and litle to find the right happines it cost me the same. Maybe it diffrens if you only buy small happines.

    I use mony on this because it gives good happines.

    As the happiness per square increases with the increase in the happiness of the telescope you need to spend more money.

    Its the thing with all the decos.

    The cozy picnic & ice cream truck occupies same area but it cost 50K in excess to get an excess of 3 happiness.
    This 50K is more than half of the price for 26 happiness...

    On the other hand the happiness of fountain and big tree differs 3 for a price of 45K.

    As the happiness per square increases the price increases hugely.

    i think the reason it deems like ading more later does less is it doesn't seem to be a linear function, maybe an exponential of some sort, i'm guessing though, but definitely not linear :)

    I checked the theory of getting less points as you donate bit by bit and I was right :)

    After getting a base happiness of 50 I checked to see how many dollars it would take to get 1 point......... it was 70 dollars after donating that I checked how many dollars it would take to get 1 more point and the price increased to somewhere between 80-85$ Hope that helps :)

    It's a logarithmic scale.

    This guide is a big help, thank you Prince Manish! Excellent work.

    Cool event too, but I wonder if GGS would be willing to add a column for how many total dollars were spent somewhere, maybe next to the points or where it shows the happiness value...or is it in there already and I'm missing it? :) I lost track and am curious.

    I also now have a base value of 49 and it's still showing the simple telescope. Can anyone confirm if the actual reward for beautiful telescope comes at 49 or 50 base value? If 50 then the charts should be updated...

    A few posts up we have been discussing about this and my telescope from a previous event is 50 and beautiful and the person that asked also says they gradually increased to beautiful and now have a base value of 50. Does it not show in the charts? Hey Manish, update that thing :P

    I agree with Sennea on both counts. Thanks Manish and please GGS, can we get a total spent so far box on the charity drive screen?

    I already know I have turned into a frenzied spendthrift consumerist (my telescope is worth 59+5 and going) but it'd be nice if I could get a clue as to how much I've spent exactly so far. It would help to avoid spending more than absolutely necessary to reach the next level.

    Alternatively, it might work as a wake-up call:
    Come on Mmms, you've spent enough on that silly telescope, however beautiful it may be. Do you really need a valuable telescope? You already have all the event decos. You could spent the money on useful research... Come on, stop spending!!!

    I have a question - my happiness rank is now at 49 but still shows simple telescope. When does it upgrade to beautiful telescope?

    When do we actually receive our telescope and where would I find it?

    You don't get your telescope until the event ends; there's still about 18 hours left on my timer. There will be a pop-up notifying you when it ends, and then your telescope will be in your dropbox.

    I think the whole thing is a joke now. I placed 6 event decos worth 74 pts each and got a total deduction of 5 points off my running cost. No thank you I will keep my money in my pocket. Can' believe people don't think about the value of something
  • montuosmontuos Posts: 1,275

    There's a range where it makes a huge difference, and a range where it makes little difference, and a range where it's stupid to bother. If your running costs are -75% or better, there are probably better places to use your money. If your running costs are 0-ish, it's seriously worth it, especially for lower-level players who can get enough happiness to make a big difference for comparitively little money.

    Do we have to wait until the end of the event to actually get the telescope???
