How to increase village happiness?

Goodmorning fellow farmers,
Is there a way to increase village happiness? I placed all the deco's with village happiness points I had in my inventory, but where can I find more?

  • We tend to win them from events. Some decos have village happiness some don't. Currently there is no "store" to buy them. 
  • so, we just have to wait, I suppose.
  • What else raises the happiness lvl?  We were in the green yesterday and now we are -19.  No decos were removed.  We have a -28 for village construction progress, but we gathered all the materials and built the first building so how are we a negative in construction?  Also, the -28 appeared right after I clicked start for the upgrade, why does construction bring the lvl down?  There has to be something else to bring the lvl up, the decos are rewards for events that aren't happening.  Right now my team has a penalty in our challenge because the happiness lvl is low.   We need a way to bring it up.

    The only way to increase village happiness is by deco.  Village unhappiness depends on the levels of village buildings.  Right now, we have low village happiness because we were granted a level 12 warehouse, which generates significant unhappiness.
  • do upgrade use money from individual accounts or coop account. I have just logged in but I have not seen a start but for the textile building upgrade and are these upgrades subject to the usual building slot such that I have to wait for my current upgrade to complete before I can upgrade anything on the village

    Upgrades use materials grown/made on your farms and then donated by each member. You can use coop gold to donate materials. Read the update to learn more about this.(sorry, I do not know how to make the link). The village has it's own building slot.
  • Hello, can somebody explain to me how I can increase the satisfaction at the villages. I cannot build ornaments there.
  • TinaM1 (US1)TinaM1 (US1) US1 Posts: 122

    You have to put the deco's on your own farms that have the village happiness built into them. We have had a few during events. But as of now, there are no deco's you can buy that have village happiness with them.

    Is that something that is going to change soon GGS?? because the more you upgrade the buildings, the less happiness your village has, we need to be able to increase this, that requires for us to be able to buy deco's with the VH on them. And please, don't just make it deco's you have to purchase with gold!!!!!!

  • Hello,

    How can i increase the satisfaction at the village? I cannot buy ornaments there like I can on my other farms.

    Greetings Ton
  • The only way to increase village happiness is by deco.  Village unhappiness depends on the levels of village buildings.  Right now, we have low village happiness because we were granted a level 12 warehouse, which generates significant unhappiness.
    Was the warehouse lvl 12 to begin with? Ours is lvl12, but we did not upgrade it.  So if it started at lvl 12 we were in the green and unhappiness went down with the construction of the first building.  We were -28 for construction progress, now we are -34 and we have not started any other construction. So it isn't making sense.  And several of us spent the 15,000 gold for the spring deco in flash sales!!  We are still in orange.  
  • yea i cant TOO :( plz help me somebody

    The devs adjusted everyone's warehouse to lvl 12.  I would speculate (but don't know) that the game only does unhappiness checks/calculations to the village when upgrading a building (since normally that's the only way unhappiness would change).  But since the warehouse level was directly adjusted, I would assume the game didn't do the unhappiness check until something else was upgraded.

    You have to put the decos with village happines (if you got any) on one of the regular farms. They then boost the happines in a village. You could winn those decos in some events from New Year untill now (e.g. those trains for NY have village happines, decos won from Santa, decos won on st. Patric day...)
  • can win from challenge too there 6 deco reward with 5-10 village happiness on them
  • So maybe to goes back to the question which will asked last year. Is GGS going to add a certain village happiness to all our current decos or are we going to have to dismantle those and start building new decos with village happiness when they become available in the build menu

    How do we get the "Village Happiness" level out of the red. I don't see any decorations to build.
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226
    You must put decorations on your own MF, GF and FF that have village happiness on them. Each co-op member must increase their own village happiness in this way.
  • Bruce04 (US1)Bruce04 (US1) US1 Posts: 198

    I'm missing something here. My MF, GF, & FF are all at -93% so I have plenty of decorations. How can I tell which ones have "village happiness" on them.


  • aaabbb1 (INT1)aaabbb1 (INT1) INT1 Posts: 1,049
    The "normal" happines is shown as a smiley, the village happines is shown as a violet house with a smiley. The decos that have the normal+village happines are the ones you obtained from certain events from New Year:
    Santas trains, decos from Santas wheel, the deco from the St. Patric day event...
  • Bruce04 (US1)Bruce04 (US1) US1 Posts: 198

    Hey, I've got one!

    Thank you for the info.


  • Cant find another thread that is all about the village.
    How do we limit who can start the challenge as it seems anyone can start it (and upgrades) without asking the whole team. can anyone answer this.
    There so many questions about it and yet no discussion thread about most asked questions unless i am blind and cant see it
  • Bruce04 (US1)Bruce04 (US1) US1 Posts: 198
    It appears that anyone with more than 30 days in the coop can start the challenges.

    We have such decos but they are not enough to cancel the negative effect of upgrades and our coop is now operating in red. I am now reluctant to continue upgrading but unfortunately anyone can start donating materials and others will follow as they battle to have their names on the hall of fame and then its click upgrade starts happiness goes further down. Can ggs do something about this issue before people start considering suspending activities on the village, no use poring money on something that will only get more and more expensive

    I do not see where or what to do to increase the happiness in the village cooperative site.  I also do not see where we us workers.  Somebody please guide me through what I need to do, please.
  • There is a small discussion about it which can be found here:
    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/150924/village-happiness-level

  • Holiday events may not be enough to impact the negative effects at the village. Something needs to be done about this soon. not all have gold to buy into such events and get any quality decos or other items to improve happiness there, and production run there comes at a great loss and way too many dollars will be needed into the fund  for village or the use of personal dollars to make the upgrades or the production at the village a viable option. This problem should have been considered before startup of the village. The village is for and to help all members of a group, yet only few can afford to do anything there at all, and so ppl stay away from it defeating the purpose of bringing a group together to work as a team. I'm not so happy with the village so far but still hoping you can prove me and others who may be sceptical of this village so far, wrong. This needs attention.

    I put a +5 village happiness deco on my gourmet farm and my village happiness lvl went down instead of up. WHY???
  • I have 4 decos with village happiness for a total of 44 happiness.  This only gives me +2 for production costs.  How can we get more happiness?  Neither of the Easter decos have village happiness.

    it would be fine if we could have the possibility  to buy some deco with village happiness , actually there are too few available decorations available,it's very difficult to keep happiness green  :(

    A brief summary:

    • Edge plants are broken and block your harvest.
    • Dennis thrown us into -28 village happines by messing up our warehouse.
    • There is no decent system for raising village happiness as current exclusive decos with combined happiness and build time even from storage is just gamer unfriendly hassle.
    • Negative happiness renders running village operations too expensive.
    • Every upgrade you do in village makes the situation worse.
    • (the above is by far not the exhaustive list of problems, just selection of main ones which you encounter upon starting to build your village. Not addressing league, Yarnacle or horse meadow problems here)
    The best advice I can give to any player who is not outrageous BF fanatic is to ignore the whole village until Dennis and his crew wake up from their winter sleep, start giving some answers and start correcting both bugs and conceptual faults. Which is what I have been doing - just watching and waiting.
