    Next week we should have the Asia event.
    As it has been pointed out on the French forum, part of it requires to produce a lot of eggs.
    The French community manager - our dear Cellardoor - answered to that that the event will start only after the update.

    Could nafaru confirm?
    Thanks!

    I do confirm this statement. :D

    If i read the announcement correctly , there is no reference about readjustment of event quantities. As in ''fairy tale'' event, there is a task of supplying 6090 eggs, is this going to change accordingly ? With 1/4 of current egg production , such tasks would take a long time....

    Since themed events are basically 6 regular tasks in a row, these will of course be adjusted as well. :)

    what about the achievements are they going to be modifyed from level 0 up or from what ever level you are at and up?

    Hi Again,

    Will the feed requirements change also? Or are we going to use the same amount of feed for fewer eggs? Also, will the time required to complete an egg harvest remain the same? My coop is trying to decide if there is any added value in increasing the amount of chicken pens.

    Cariberry and Moonshine1962, there is basically no real change right now, besides the amount of eggs produced and needed and the sell price, to compensate for your 'loss' in each production.

    Let me give you an example:
    Right now you produce ~200 eggs with a chicken coop level 7.
    These 200 eggs can be sold for $3 each = $600 per egg harvest.
    If you have a task (or cooperative project or whatever objective) to collect 1,000 eggs, you will need to collect eggs off of 5 chicken coops.

    After the update you will produce ~50 eggs with a chicken coop level 7.
    These 50 eggs can be sold for $12 each = $600 per egg harvest.
    The task above (as other objectives) will require you to collect one fourth of the amount you had to collect before. So you need to collect 250 eggs, which can be done with 5 chicken coops as well.

    Everything but the amount of storage needed to store one batch of eggs will still be the same in a way. That's why we do not touch production times, amount of feed needed, time frames for cooperative projects, etc.

    ya but i am talking about the achievement the ones that give APs i am wondering on how it is going be changed i am at level 5 on collect eggs and its 928000 eggs to collect i am at nearly 500000 and have been wondering is the achievement going to be reset to level 0 so we go though the 1/4th the # eggs for each level or if we will stay at the level we are and that + all new ones will be needing 1/4th the amount and is the amount eggs we already gathered be counted as 1/4 the # hope i was clearer this time on my question i love the achives and have been working hard on leveling them and just wanting clarification

    Well, I just hope that the "New personal Prime Time" does not clutter our farm any worse than already. With the last updates for Prime Time, we got spammed with pop-ups in the middle of the game and with all Prime time circles in our window, it was hard to find back our farms.

    So happy about this update, especially the sell price increase. The eggs have always filled up the barn way too quickly (to the point where I sometimes go days without ever using the coops cause I'd rather use them for pasta than sell for the relatively low price they are now), and the upcoming addition of ducks was just going to make that worse. So knowing that production will actually be reduced is excellent.

    Sorry about having suspension-of-disbelief problems, but an egg from a chicken being worth so much in relation to a whole pig 8| it's been bothering me before and now becomes outrageous ... UNLESS their yolks are made of gold, hence we no longer have a restaurant because you can't make omlets with them ;P

    the amount needed to get to the next achievement levels will be cut to a quarter as well. says so in the original announcement.

    Yeah, that has always bothered me a bit too. In real life, eggs are $1-2 per dozen, whereas a single pig will sell for hundreds of dollars. Maybe GGS would consider a similar conversion for the pigs as well, especially since they aren't even used for anything else?

    what about the achievements will that be adjusted also. it will take forever to get the achievements after update. its okay by me if my barn is full of eggs. more money!!!!

    Jatoda, the money you get from the eggs will not go down - since the price of every egg goes up, it won't matter that you get less of them. =)
    I'm assuming they'll also adjust achievements and missions, of course they won't expect us to gather the same amount as before! ;o

    ya but it diminishes all that work you did im kinda sad for egg change cause i was 2 days from getting level 6 of the egg achieve by time this update will happen so i was very close to it on my own and did ALOT work to get the 600k eggs i have gotten so far with just 4 chicken coops =P just wish they would answer is egg achievement being reset to level 0 and then made 1/4th or is it each persons level and then 1/4th for their level

    No, the egg achievements are not being reset cariberry. The amount of eggs needed to obtain each level is decreased in direct proportion that the amount of eggs decreases so you won't lose out on anything - not even obtaining your next achievement level like you're expecting.

    Kat,

    Will you be updating the wiki site to correct the egg requirements prior to the start of the Asian Event (which has been postponed until after this update). I was hoping to check it out. If not I assume the only changes will be to convert all egg related tasks to 1/4 the posted amounts.

    Our co-op has started egg scramble. The goal is 570,000 but if we can reach 142,500 before the update, the project will be completed automatically after the update. Is that correct?

    My co-op is hoping the same thing … we will see if we are right with that assumption.

    Yes Rusty Farmer, that is what we did too. Hope it works!

    We are trying the same strategy with the egg mission - it shall be interesting. We actually started it but finished it already. Well done my Co-op, they rock :-)

    There should be no disadvantages for you after these changes.
    On the contrary, you will actually get the chance to finish some objectives earlier if you already started working on them. If your progress on one of these objectives was e.g. 800/1000 eggs before the update, this will change to 800/250 after the update and you will finish the given task instantly.

    Hey everybody,

    sorry for the small letdown... :(

    ..but we were just informed that progress on cooperative projects and achievements will be adjusted as well in order to make sure that no projects/achievements get stuck.
    This means that your progress will stay the same as before, if you managed to get 25% of the objective before the update hits, it will be the same afterwards, just with updated numbers.

    For quests, the example of the official announcement stays valid. :)

    Regards,
    Steffi
