    I don't know about this with the houses.  I was never under the impression that a decor for houses would work on all houses.  For example a tropical house, because they are somewhat different by virtue of their extra worker.

    I'm not sure about this. I know there is discussion on some forum about the top Co-op champ prize being an "appearance" for the co-op apple orchard that only a few have and so is useless to many. They said there that it can't be used on a regular apple.
    I've been watching for a skin for the co-op cherry, of which I have 3.  I won't pay gold, though, even if I could use the one in the favourites sale.  I don't care - actually, don't even want - my whole farm in the rustic theme.

    We definitively want to look into the whole cute apple orchard deal, of course. I can't give you anything definitive on the issue yet, but naturally we'd want to make sure all winners of the appearance will be able to use it eventually :)

    I'll push this issue again, also in regards to the cowshed.

    FYI:

    One of my coop members changed all her regular apple orchards into "cute" apple orchards .... We are on NL1.

    I just wish that I could have all rustic appearaces with dollars..... I try to have my farm in rustic theme, but it is impossible if we cannot have them with dollars :(

    @gavinfarms (US1) The appearances don`t affect the function of buildings, the gold houses have 2 extra workers and different happiness, but they are included too, probably because they are the same size, whereas one of the themed cows and the viking ducks are different sizes from the regular ones, so I guess that could be an issue.

    This time I did remember where the post about the houses was hehe :)

    I have news regarding the residential appearance issues, with the next update we will change their behaviour so that all residential appearances can be used on all residential types :)

    Thank you for the feedback on this issue!

    I've been playing for well over 2 yrs now, daily, except for a camping trip and GGS has added some nice things to the game, but as always, I get all excited, then KAPOW!!  THE INSANE AMOUNTS OF GOLD REQUIRED, SUCH AS THE 56k FOR THE TEMP ISLAND BUILD SLOT IS CRAZY AND SO DISAPPOINTING, BACKGROUNDS DID THE SAME THING AND OTHER THINGS TOO!!  I DO NOT THINK MOST PLAYERS ARE SO RICH, WE JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN!!  ON A FIXED INCOME HERE! PHOEY!  Does GGS ever stop and figure how much in real $ it costs to get 56K gold!!!!  About $50!!!!!  Ridiculous!!!  I WILL NEVER BE DOING THAT!!!


    ** P.S.  I saw the option of the build slot on the temp farm, and the place to unlock it, but no where did I see the  cost before hand so I never tried it!  Does it inform you of the price, or just deduct it from your gold if you unlock it--in other words steal gold from any players that have that much gold!

  • Wii some people just get greedy and will want more and more of your money, and some people will just kiss up to those people. I need what money I have for food, medicine and bills. So really doesn't matter to me how high gold of something will cost. Because I will never have money to put in a game and if I did husband would say no. Not very often that I get something nice mostly on Christmas or some other holiday. So sorry GGS am not a player who can afford to put money in a game.
  • CM LattenCM Latten Posts: 542
    While the second build slot is surely a premium feature, solely for convenience and not at all necessary to play the game, don't forget that its price will go down the longer the island farm is active. If you just want to use it to clear up some tasks at the end of the island cycle, it will be notably more affordable than it is when the event starts.
  • Lesley52 (GB1)Lesley52 (GB1) Posts: 1,590
    Has a good will gesture from GGS the 2nd building slot should be free for last 4 days of island when architect always seems to be around    B)

    Because I find this message to be extraordinarily cryptic, let me ask it this way.

    1)  Will be able to use the Rustic Cute Cowshed them on my plain old cowshed at some point?

    2)  And will I be able to use the "Seven dwarfs" house on my Tropical house or Winter House at some point?


    In the meantime, I guess I have lost the use of 4.9 million seashells for a cowshed decoration that does not work.

    as the old saying goes... "be careful what you wish for"
    Exactly!  Players have been asking for this option for as long as I've been playing the game/reading the forums.  So, "we" got what we asked for.  I don't play the temp islands and even I knew it would never come cheap if it was introduced into the game.  Anyone who's played this game longer than a month would know that.  Considering a country's flag is nearly 15K gold, and some of those level 6 handbooks are well over 100K,  56K for that long longed for extra building slot isn't that much.  
    Yes, Players have been asking for the option of a second building slot forever. The reason we want another slot is so that we don't have to hurry a build (or demolish) with gold. It is probably cheaper for the majority of us to use gold to hurry a build or two than to buy the extra slot.

    However, @CM Latten has said that the price goes down so that at the end of the island, it will be more affordable. I noticed that it has already gone down in price to 55,000 gold. May look into it when I am demolishing...
  • @CMPopeye
    You poor man.  What  must you think of us complaining when we actually got what we wanted, the ability to build more then one item at a time at such a reasonable cost as well.  We should be shot with a do do gun for being  ungrateful people after all that GGS has done to make us happy campers, and all we do is complain about what it will cost us.  We should be ashamed of ourselves.  Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.  Shame Shame Shame  When will we ever learn the GGS has our best interest at heart and only want to bring us challenging entertainment that will make us better players and happier with our lot.

    But seriously people what are you thinking of other then the the high end player.  When ya'll have those staff meetings on Monday or Friday do you actually think of players?  I mean seriously do you give a thought to what message you are sending to those that have played faithfully for years as well as the those like me that have just started playing and seem to be getting the stuffing kicked out of us because GGS is on a gold craze.  

    Is this madness going to stop any time soon or is this going to be it for the foreseeable future.  
     
    Has anyone noticed that the more we complain, the more they tighten the screws as if to say, "This'll teach 'em."
    Yeah I noticed that the inmates are handling the crazy house, but do you think they would lighten up if we didn't complain about what to me is something that is getting way out of hand and becoming a serious turnoff for the game.  The thought occurs that they don't really give a fiddlers foxtrot what we think other then to get ideas on how to get more gold out of the players that spend it.  

    We can play, we can complain or we can take our chips and find another game.  The choice is mine whether I like it or not, and I am starting to think its time to pack it in and call it a day and just play my game without the thought that this is supposed to be fair.

    I agree.  Just remarking that the complaints seem to make the powers that be even more mean spirited.  I, too, gave up on it being fair a long time ago, and just trudge on the best I can without giving them any of my hard-earned cash.

    (btw, this is not relted to this topic, i am teaching someone on the forum)
  • But just think, it is not that people are rich to play this game and buy gold to rush building or win a fake competition.  Look at it this way. Some people can afford to buy a Prada Bag, or Gucci Shoes or designer this or designer that almost monthly.  A lot of those items cost over $500 each, so instead of that pair of Gucci shoes, or Jimmy Choo she/he buys gold to upgrade is imaginary farm.

    Those are the players that GG is aiming for when they put these ridiculous gold cost on items.  They are getting the gold and so they continue to do it.  I am of the theory or mind set that "People only do things to you that you ALLOW them to do".

  • Is this madness going to stop any time soon or is this going to be it for the foreseeable future.  
    Unfortunately, I am betting on it going on and on.

    This isn't just the beginning. It has been slowly getting more and more expensive and will continue to do so. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
  • Why does transferring money to the island farm now count as a two hour construction?

    I incredible thing I find about the cost of the extra building slot.  At 56k gold, you could have skipped 467 hrs of building.  Nearly 20days.  Now if you did this right at the start, you would nearly be finished ALL building on the island, if not finished.  Then your entire island would be producing more over the entire month, giving you far better value for your gold.  So if you had 56K ($50)of gold to waste on the island, better to skip building than buy 2nd slot.

    It doesn't... there is a  2 hour cool down after you transfer money to the island farm. You can construct a building or upgrade one while this cool down is in progress.
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    Yes Byron, that is correct logic.  Simply spending 3000 to speed up the building of the bank and the island farmhouse, can revolutionize you island farm experience.  The ripple effect is quite noticeable.

    I recently click on something and found that I was suppose to have  purchased some gold, that I did not know that I did. I don't want to order anything. please help me to take care of this problem. cancel.  marierookie 01 thank you.

    craftycritters   For me its not much a option it can be described a bit more like a robbery, i did clicked on that and if i had the gold it would be gone because GGS NEVER GIVES BACK ANY GOLD spent on the farm. how many players has suffered this kind of problems (renaming the horse/dog  and more) just to find out latter that it did cost a lot of gold and the game never told him/her. so well done on the post and hope they do something about it lol
