    Hmm interesting but hope this idea won't cost stupid amounts of dollars like 3 new buildings or gold. Won't spend gold, just so my farm looks different  than my neighbours .
  • Can we win them? I like the look of them bendy apple trees hehe

    Some can be won. ie. - Cooperative apple orchard (now known as “cute orchard”): Activity reward for the gold league

    So is  it to be on the 6th or the 7rh? Conflicting dates with the official announcement and the discussion

    We will all get those bendy apples right from the start, - buyable in the appearance shop. that's how it reads to me.  

    (...) "Back to our roots" (Apple orchard, storage and nursery) set will include rustic and cozy appearances for all buildings of the main farm. (...) It will be available right from the start of the building appearance system (...)
     -  Apple orchard: Available in the appearance shop


    Im very excited about this, - as a fan of the graphics I expect heaps of beautiful new things, but also the example they show is available not in gold but for farm DOLLARS!!! 
    *swaying deliriously from candy eating* gosh imagine...  being able to turn all normal cows into pink candy cows to fit my cherry dominating LSD bubblegum main farm! *faint*

    Edit: hmmm in the announcement it says nursery is part of the back to roots set, but lower in the list it says favourite offers only...... 
    Anyhow, i just summarized for my coop what will be available in the appearance shop right from the start of the new update, copy-paste for you Scissors ;) Composter, Cowshed, apple orchard, water tower, workshop, both barns, silo

    Couple of Questions @Latten : the announcement says that the previous themed buildings will be converted into "appearances" too, so we dont have to destroy and build the old and new. -How will this work for example for the candy cows, the themed version is 5x5, ordinary cows 5x8 - will you change the look of candy cows so that it fits 5x8? Also the announcement specifys that appearance system is only a visual change and not a change in production - will themed buildings therefore no longer include an increase in production?

    Generally, some are available for dollars, some for gold, some for quests etc. It's not like the same thing will be available for all of it, but different things will be available for different currencies and tasks :)

    Previous themed buildings will just stay for now, but future ones might be changed into appearances when we figured out a good solution for the difference you mentioned :) For example, we are planning something to add specific bonuses to appearances later on.
    But yeah, for the time being, the themed buildings will stay.

    I hope the appearances won't replace the deco prizes for the weekly events but will be an alternative option.  I couldn't care less about how the farm looks.  I care about functionality.
  • "- One appearance can be used on one building each. After using it on one building, it's being taken out of your appearance inventory and can only be reused once it's being removed from this building or the building is destroyed."

    So, only one rustic pigsty, for example? I can see people that like cohesion on their farms not liking one plain and one rustic pigsty or even one rustic and one cozy pigsty. Or is that saying we can't apply rustic and cozy to the same building (which makes sense because it would look messy)?

    Thanks. 
  • This is same as GG Empire

    It is costly and hard to get buy just playing and it is mainly for big spenders Thanks BF

    So, I will not be able to adjust the appearance of the winter house............but I can the regular house and fancy house?  Is this correct?

    If I lose my candy Chook coop x1, Irish chooks x 5, all my co op apples x7, my sweet apiaries x 5 and my useless new duck pond, will not be happy.  I will be looking for GOLD compensation from GGS for all the gold wasted on these events.  Even if means going through legal channels as took a lot of gold to get all these.  GGS be careful what you do with current themed buildings. 


    As for the rest it is all rubbish and a waste.  You could have fixed the new duck coop instead of wasting time on this worthless update.

    What I mean is the weekly event is completely worthless to do at level 5 and 6 in particular for an appearance.

    I agree total waste of time doing weekly event, for these as reward.  GGS are really doing their best to kill this game off.  Last week update was bad and this is looking even worse.
  • LuckyViolat (AU1)LuckyViolat (AU1) AU1 Posts: 106
    This update still didn't mention when the weekly event will start.  Are we going to miss out this week & one will start next week?  Not very clear on this in the message. Well not for me anyway.

    As for creatures of habit, (DoctorX) I am just trying to get ahead of production with cabbages should the event start with collect cabbages. My farm is small & I still can't finish the weekly event because of the forced start on Level 3.  I get stuck on step 5 which is way out of my farm's ability to do.  I basically wasted all day yesterday with cabbages on my fields waiting for the event to start.  That was a waste of a day on my farm.  Had I harvested my fields Murphy's Law would have come into play.  :(

    Appearances? Sounds weird. Don't we normaly call these things "skins"?

    And it sounds like we are putting a new shiny fancy coating on the structure which hardly holds together. But, certainly yet another way how to ask for gold and money. Cause if you want it all themed, you will have to pay. :) And not only that, you'll have to win some co-op champs also. Devilishly sneaky, shrewed, clever. :) But in nutshell certanly smarter to re-skin then to re-build. :)

    Also I view this as yet another step in messing the game up - as regarding to real themed buildings with better parametres GGS clearly still don't know what they are doing. It's "change first, think later" mentality. That's how we lost all the backbone concept of the game in the first place. Just do something which looks interesting and can generate quick money, without thinking about if and how it fits into the overall concept and economy model of the game. That's why I called it "irresponsible developement" in the past. We don¨t know where we are going, but we are happy to introduce changes anyway. :)

    @Mira (US1)  I agree.... Hopefully it won`t replace the deco though or we won`t be able to complete the deco set.

    @LuckyViolat (AU1)  The update says there is an "appearance" added to the Hawaiian event, so the event should start after the update has been run.
  • I want to keep my farms beautiful more than most income buildings. My plan is my main farm will be winter, my flower farm will be tropical. If there is no viking cowsheds, viking pigsties, viking chicken coops. I am not going to appearances (a tropical buildings on my winter farm) until new buildings arrive. I understand new buildings will be long way to go. I can wait long as possible ;) .

    I understand some of you do not like winter farm land on there farms. So you can have 3 tropical farms instead and some winter. (The reason why I say it because one person click disagree on one of my post that I said "I would like to have entire farm to have snow." and that person said something.) In the result the cowsheds (including other buildings) will have 4 different kind of buildings to be use appearances.

    Up to @Latten on my two paragraphs (above) whether will be done or not. I have not mine you say one or other answer.

    I have question. Do I have to wait for tropical farm to get tropical house and to replace my simple house on my tropical farm by using appearances? or something different plan? Or to get tropical house on my tropical farm land like old day (build and demolish house)?
  • Am I reading this correctly, once you use the themed upgrade for your, let's say pig sty, you want to change it back, the upgrade will go into your inventory. Then if you use it again and want to change it, it will then be deleted and cannot use it any longer. Is that correct?

    My point still stands people are creature of habit which is why it irritates us when things don't happen the way we expect.
    For instance we expected a Hawaii event to start yesterday, so like you I planted all my fields with spec cabbage, eventually by the time it became evening I decided to harvest the cabbage, this morning I planted Spec cabbage again and guess what I am still waiting. So i am with you on this it irritates me as well when things like this happen.

    So my question is to @Latten when is this update going to happen and will the requirements for the Hawaii event be decreased to make up for the lost time or does GGS expect us to spend Gold again to try and finish the event

    We don't actually know yet that Hawaii would be shorter.........

    Hmmm, servers where down but only difference i can see is in build menu.... Now you can buy everything with dollars or gold

    Aaa, now i see, i had on offer to by that new looking cherry orchard with gold. Is that it, gold again or do we have a chance to buy with dollars????
  • It would be nice to individualize my farm and make it my own.  My question is how expensive is this new appearance going to be and will it be available to everyone or just the players with serious money or gold or will it be affordable to even low level players to be individualistic and unique?
  • The ones available on my farm are fairly expensive.  Some for gold (favourites deal) and some for farm cash.
  • You're saying the appearances don't change anything about the buildings.  I thought I remembered the themed houses started out offering 11 employees instead of 10.  Not sure if that's accurate, but if it is...Will that extra employee be lost by using the appearances?

  • The ones available on my farm are fairly expensive.  Some for gold (favourites deal) and some for farm cash.
    Oh Well so much for that idea.  Just once I wish....................
  • I clicked to VIEW the Nursery and it took my gold and it updated to level 2.  Where is the nice Rustic one, this is just a normal upgrade that I did not want
    Help .............

    I did, too, just for fun.  Now it blends in so much, I can barely find the thing.  LOL!

    But, oy, the barn was over a million. I declined.
