The Grand House...when will it be available?

Demolishing two 8x6 fields would let you build one 5x15 Grand House, then once it's built up to Level 7 or whatever you could then demolish 3 "regular" level 7 houses and put this in place of it. Your happiness would suffer while you're going that, but once you demo the regular houses your happiness would be better than what it started with (assuming they don't "adjust" these numbers before it goes live)..
Was it worth it?
- Yes and no
- Yes, because I proved to myself I could win it
- Yes, because my real goal was the 168 hours of 50% time bonus to achieve many upgrades on the farm. You know the ones you keep putting off because something else is always more important.
- Yes, because in the process it allowed me to meet other farmers. Yes, the competition, but hey, we're all farmers here. Hell, we even sparkled each others farms. Real life farmers help each other.
- Yes, because even though it is an individual event, it showed off the wonderful support you can get from a good co-op and other farmers you are friends with. I already knew I was in a great co-op, but this highlighted it.
- No. The reality of the extra 37 workers means you can only demolish one other house at best, not three as suggested. A regular simple house totals 45 at max. By demolishing one house, you displace 8 workers.
- No, because making it only available in the WWC makes it a status symbol. GGS would do better to create a real bonus feature, with true value and sell the Grand House to gold buyers. Plenty would flock to that sort of sale and it would be worth it. Mind you, they could up the number of workers a little to make it worth gold. Are you listening GGS? Much better marketing ploy. Do I get gold commissions now?
- No, because for the time and effort involved, the value of the prizes is not worth it. The Level 6 Norfolk Wherry and Level 1 Skipjack I won in the much easier to deal with FHWE are far more valuable. They will give me a return value for the effort I put in, well into the future. Maybe not so for somebody on a much higher level than me (56 currently), but anybody building their way up, they make a huge difference to your fishing. 37 workers are gone as quick as you build or upgrade something else and then you need another house... Another hint for GGS: Allow workers to transfer across farms. That happens in real life. Most farms these days rely on transient workers. eg Backpackers
- No, because of deprivation of sleep. Yeah, I know - that's choice, but necessary to win
Will I do it again?Will definitely take part in the event again, but as for winning!!! I doubt I will go as hard again. I'm not greedy. Somebody else can have the podium. The Grand House just isn't worth it. Ask yourself, "what is the value of 3 houses rolled into one and an extra 37 workers?"
Oh well, good luck to you all in the farming game.
CrazyBigFarm and a lot of the info that is still relevant from Larino....
Mind you, one has to get info from somewhere. GGS should be providing at a minimum, a basic website detailing in depth and easy to understand layman's terms for getting started instead of passing the buck to moderators.
Or is a new , improved Grand House set to come in future ?
Yep, WWC reward...
Seriously doubt if anything new is coming in the future. Been following the edge plant disaster situation and nothing is going to happen yet because they don't have the staff to fix that problem.
