Recipe Suggestions: Gourmet and Flower Farms

Kate151Kate151 Posts: 66
Putting the "Gourmet" back into Gourmet Farm:

(Any suggestions for Bakery and Flower Shop recipes welcome on this thread. However we're NOT proposing a Flower Farm revamp. This is ONLY about tweaking recipes and ingredients.)

I'd like to see duck eggs and goat milk separated out, on the principle that cute animals should also be useful. Duck eggs and goat milk have different properties from chicken and cow products and their production should be rewarded with higher value.

For Flower Farm:
Fruity Compote Facial Mask - Peaches, Cherries, Aloe Vera Gel, Duck Eggs.

And please put goat milk into the Honey Cream and Soaps recipes, in place of cows milk?


For Gourmet Farm:
Peach Crumble - Peaches, Apples, Almonds, Wheat, Milk (in lieu of butter).

Barley Bread - Barley and Wheat. Doesn't need anything else. Could leave out the wheat and just use barley.

Really all of the recipes in the Bakery require wheat. Please put wheat into the cake and muffins at least?


All suggestions welcome. Thanks ...

    Truthfully I love the fact that milk is milk and eggs are eggs with this revamp. With the ability to use milk for honey cream and bars of soaps, I am running my flower farm constantly making more money than I ever had from it. Prior to revamp, I was always running out of cream because I had to use dairy to make cream and goat cheese and could never build up surplus. So I hope they never change that back . . . it has kept me pretty even money wise even spending major farm dollars this week rebuilding the gourmet farm. And by not designating goat/cow or duck/chicken, I can use both farms to help out in co-op projects and event tasks. This is one change of the revamp that I really like.

    So what is the point of having goats and ducks? Duck feed costs a lot more to make than chicken feed and cowsheds make more than enough milk to run both the flower shop and the bakery.

    And I didn't mind falling back on the other flower shop products when I was out of cream; it's sort of pointless if you're only ever making one of the available products. I'd quite like to have a dairy on the main farm to produce cream and butter for the bakery.

    And there's an unnecessary level of complexity now with the "transfer" system for bakery ingredients. I'd rather have more complexity at the level of ingredients and a variety of products, than fussing over moving ingredients from one place to another.

    The point is that they were trying to accomodate players who are not on constantly, ducks do not need to be harvested as often. They have a rough equivalency to the cow sheds in terms of time needed, and the number of eggs gotten per harvest is much larger than the shorter-time chickens. Previously, if one only logged on once per day, harvest of eggs was very low, as harvesting chickens once per day doesn't give you very many eggs.

    Also, goats give milk, which can be harvested much quicker than from cows (though you get fewer), helping out those who like to spend more time on the game than once or twice per day.

    Oh Kate, PLEASE dont let them change the milk, i agree wt GeorgenollieUse, my biggest complaint wt the gourmet farm was the slowness of the dairy, i could keep enough goat cheese but never had enough cream for ice cream and the honey cream, u had to choose one or the other, i think they should make a drink like
    fruit punch: apple, cherries, peaches, fast time and low ingredient amts it could be like the soap, $50,00/30 mins,but for the gourmet farm
    i also suggest that the airport and marina take our produce world wide for a much higher retail alue that we get the profits from

    also has anyone noticed that as u level up and upgrade, the money earned onthe gourmet farm doesn't go up as before, like the other farms?

    It is going to be interesting to see what these two items are going to do because if you notice when you sell pigs and donkeys they both have a gray transfer button that says this is unavailable at the time. Since neither will be needed in the bakery, I suspect it has to do with the airport and/or the boat. Can't wait to find out what they have in mind.

    I think this applies to all the produce that isn't used in bakery - wheat, corn, cabbage, all of the flower farm meadow products. Don't know if it means anything other than the bakery doesn't use it.

    I like it :-) I hope the bakery will have a couple more recipes added at least.

    Suggestion for the bakery, and needed very badly ASAP. At the bakery, under transfer, under stock overview, under detail, needs a slid bar for adjusting quantities of raw product being transferred to bakery for processing. As it is now, must back out sometimes hundreds of units one at a time to reach the desired quantity. This is very tedious. Please add a slide bar in the details box.
    This game has repeatedly been towted as a management game, but yet you can't know in advance what funds you will need for the next level of anything be it upgrades or in events. This is counter to good planning; product management and farm fund management.
    And by the way, my goats still are not animated.
    In any case, get us a slide for the bakery transfer stock overview, PLEASE!

    Happy to hear the prices for selling gourmet foods will be increasing with the next update. It will be nice to make some money on the new farm without having to have everything at the highest upgrade level.

    Or you can highlight the number and then type how many you want to store . . . and goats animation is a known bug and they only do patches during updates - next one scheduled hopefully for Wednesday so that is the earliest the animation will be fixed . . . do not hold me responsible if it doesn't happen this update but that is the earliest it will be fixed.
