    Very nice and interesting update...

    I've already informed my coop colleges about this, reading the Spanish forum :pensive:
    And of course, we have two big questions:
    1. How much will cost the extra slot ???? (gold, dollars?)...my colleges were mega happy when I told them but then...I spoiled a bit their happiness with this question..that i posted here...
    2. How will work the ice creams to obtain extra satisfaction??
    we can change x amount of ice cream for y amount of happy? or how?
    and their effects will lost how much time?
    Please..you can tell us this info?
    Thank you!

    -The slot will probably be a gold feature, but I don't have final values yet, I'm sorry :(

    - You will donate milk and fruit to the ice cream van, similar to how you donate for the Piggles hospital event. I don't think we're asking for very high amounts here. After that, the van will drop an ice cream cone Icon which symbolizes that you finished the task. You will then get a bonus on your happiness for your entire farm for a limited amount of time, and the truck will leave the area for the moment :) Again, no final values for anything yet.

    It's Canada day, too, this weekend.  Where's our flag?

    Good remark @DuffyPoo222 (INT1) - USA is not the only country in the world!  ;)

    I am mostly wondering how the ice cream truck is balanced.  Since happiness/running costs are very non-linear, either the ingredients required need to be a pittance (costs in the hundreds or the low thousands of dollars), or the happiness increase would need to be quite large (several hundred happiness points).  Otherwise, people with large reductions in running costs (like -85% or above) may not see enough of a decrease in running costs to justify donating the goods.

    Conversely, if the bonus is directly applied to running costs, that would also be good (like a flat -5% running costs on top of what you currently have).

    is that happiness live for permanent or it ll stay till ice cream event ?
    hope it is like zodiac event :)

    Exactly the same thoughts DuffyPoo222! I'm from Canada too and we have our national "Canada day" holiday as well on July 1st. I am pretty sure we should be included in this national recognition theme as well.

    Ideas? Canadian flag, and our deco could be our national animal the beaver. Or if you think it's too hard to program a beaver, then do a maple tree. We have such a huge mix of, and welcome many, people from around the world, I'm surprised we aren't considered in this.

    While the summer weekend thing is nice, I'm also really disappointed. You are offering these awesome things yet you want us to stay indoors and play Big Farm while it's beautiful outside? When we undoubtedly have friends and family coming to visit?

    Again, coming from Canada here, and we have snow and cold weather for basically 8-9 months of the year. We're going to be partying and soaking up the sun. Why not offer this on random nights of the entire summer season, not just the weekend?

    Yes PLEEEEEASE Could we get a Canadian Flag if we prefer? No offense, but as a Canadian, I really don't want to fly an American flag.

    Ha ha ha. As a Canadian watching the current US elections going on, I'd have to second that as well.

    Whatever set up you will have for your American decos/flags, I'd gladly pay the same to have the Canadian version please, GGS.

    Hey Canada :)

    I'll make sure to bring up the idea of Canada Day shenanigans in the game, you're making a good point! I won't promise anything yet though, since obv. a lot of countries have a lot of holidays, and - at least for now - we're just testing and figuring out if and how these can be done successfully. 
    If our Independence Day offer is successful I'm sure we'll think about adding more and more of these over time, especially in countries where Big Farm is particularly successful.

    If you have ideas and wishes, it would be great if you could open up a thread for this specific topic, so that this discussion about the update can continue without going too far off topic :)

    No offense - but the GGS offices are situated in Europe .... and knows many European players. Why give it an American theme?

     -(...) we will offer a special 4th of July package in the game, including a great eagle decoration, a nice flag and a “Presidential simple house” appearance inspired by the White House!
    That is exactly one of the things I wrote in the Survey's suggestion part!!!! Introducing all the different countries' holidays and offer new special decorations accordingly!! This is beyond fantastic, I'm so happy, keep them coming!! White House inspired workhouse appearance? Hell yes, wantssss!!!!
    And to add respective flags as well, why didn't I think of that hahahahah brilliant!! :D

    :hushed: Halloween was one of the first holiday introductions, and we loved it, right? GGS is situated in Germany, us germans are very careful in not focusing too much on national pride, so gotta steal it from others :D

    Same question. We are thinking if it will be possible to reduce our building sizes, since it shows a building, a cabin, that 'shrinks'.

    I wasn't specifically talking about Germany, @Michiru (GB1)  ;)  Europe is far bigger than only Germany. And the world is far bigger than only the USA  :p

    @Jiesta (NL1) Kind of the reason why i started this thread:

    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/127377/suggestion-your-countrys-holidays-as-future-events#latest

    Please do add a Netherland focused event idea in there too  ;)

    I have a question regarding the summer weekend events: will each be a one-time thing, spread over the next few weekends,  or will they all come together and be repeated every weekend for the duration of summer? Well i guess the racing farmer will answer this...

    I am appreciating that we were heard about building slots thank you.
  • I thinking that happiness for donating to ice cream cart will be only for a certain amount of time. No thank you will keep my fruit and milk.

    Thank you for addressing this Latten, but I remember seeing the flags before as one of those "Favorite offers" that showed up as a pop up notification. They were available for gold but in the 14000 gold range. 

    It should be something to consider for all countries that you have people playing in. If your team can offer a belated Canada day birthday celebration, that would be wonderful. Otherwise I guess we will be waiting until next July 1st :neutral:

    When should we expect the weekend activities to start and how many days will they last? Thanks for all the exciting changes!!

    seen it, boring.
  • I'm hoping for the best but expecting Midas to hang around seriously.  Here's to a great summer!

    1.  Will the seaside house decoration be sold for seashells?

    2.  Will the Steampunk Windmill be gold or regular dollars?

    Only for temporary they say....then that's worthless for the rest of us :(

    Btw, a question..."- Donate fruits and milk and you will receive ice cream, which will help raising the happiness for all your workers"..so, how long will they stay happier? While licking that ice cream or for ever and ever and ever?
