    @Fincana (US1) Thank you for the update and information.
  • Hi all. I wonder if anyone can answer a very silly question....
    where did the cat option come from from? Did it just appear on farms or did you have to do/click on something first?
    I've seen nothing so far on my farm.
  • Lesley52 (GB1)Lesley52 (GB1) Posts: 1,590
    The cat tree is in special buildings tab 6 minutes to build on MF + 41 minutes on FF not done GF yet
  • @Fincana (US1) Thank you for the update and information.


    You're quite welcome, Susan.


    I felt desperate, too, when I thought I wasn't being heard.


    Just knowing they are aware of the problems -

    and moreover - the specific kinds of problems we're having,

     gives us solace and hope....


    Now we may continue to "live in Hope, Lest we die in despair"...


    LOL !

  • Ah thank you, Lesley! I had looked everywhere but that tab. Cheers!

  • You painted that lovely little BlueBird of Happiness, FarmerCli...?


    It's stunning !     Just beautiful !     Inspirational !


    So lovely, it made me smile again ! 

      :- )

     Thank you for sharing it with us here !



  • I was wondering why I had no charms falling...build the cat house first I read. .NO. .there are to many problems like bugs, glitches whatever you want to call them.  Some have had their dog disappear, mine have not but when training them they do turn "holy" white.. o:) ..I don't mind that.  BUT it is a glitch , so it can not stay !

    So I think the best thing to do is to adopt a sit and wait attitude for now.   I would like to hear from someone who has NO issues with their cat so for...if there is anyone out there or if I missed the post, it would be worth repeating I think.  B)

    So what I'm reading is we won't get our dogs back unless we build the cat tree???  I want my dog back and my happiness level restored, please.

    Though, I love cats, I am not sure this will be very viable as the requirement for heart collection is inordinately high for all the farms.  I am glad I am reading these forum posts.  The cats, even after collection of the required hearts won't provide adequate happy values on farms or village.  It just does not seem 4worth it.  I would like to hear from those who find this "cat thing" a joyous happening.  Thanks!
    I agree. taking a 4x6 space that had optimum deco points and replacing it with a CAT DECO option that will have to probably be optimized with gold to even get it to the level of the deco that I removed to place it is not smart.  I have dogs on all my Main Farms just for the reason I LOVE dogs AND CATS. 

    Question? Since we have to WORK for the CAT TREE to get to a position to use it, WILL we HAVE to spend gold to get it to the level of a working deco? OR, is this supposedly a deco that is for LOWER levels? Since it requires such a high level of drops, not even thinking is. DO NOT compare this to the DOG house. I was here when that was first implemented, had no problem dropping off a 6x4, since at that time, decos were weighted. At that time, you could get 100 percent advantage  for your decorations . NOW, not so much. I have spent gold and farm cash to upgrade decos to be at an advantage.

    PLEASE, explain to me what the advantage of the CAT TREE is. I have to remove  UPGRADED DECOS to get it into my farms. Need to know the advantage. At the time the doghouse was introduced, you could even have a 100% happiness farm. Yes, I had a  100% HAPPINESS. ON ALL 3 MAIN farms.

    SO HERE IS MY QUESTION. WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THE CAT TREE ON MY FARM besides aesthetic?

    The thing is, I didn't build the cat tree.  People who did said they got their dogs back.  Your daughter is another example -- dog disappeared after building the cat tree.  So, no theory, I guess.  Just dognappers.  Hope they fix it.

    I to have not built the cat tree and like you my dogs have disappeared. I to am hoping they come back, just another reason to play less I guess

    Asking a question. Did you lose your dog farm? or JUST the dog running around? Hey, graphics are the things that fall down on upgrades.You do NOT lose anything if the dog FARM is still there. As long as the buildings are there, all is good

  • SandiOne (US1)SandiOne (US1) US1 Posts: 153
    Well I'll just enjoy the 2 little kitties I have for now until they do a fix for all of the problems. I have a kitty that just loves playing with the box and another that roams around seemingly annoying my dog :)

    All is not good as happiness is down, probably as a result.  And if you click to train him, he's white, then disappears.  Not the only one, according to some other people.

    For those not sure on how to move the cat tree. If you go to the bottom of your screen and click on the cursor icon, then select move or rotate, you can relocate your cat tree. I just tried and it worked.

    Is there any word on a Hot Fix coming for the issues brought up here?
  • Shay1968 (US1)Shay1968 (US1) Posts: 1,324
    @Shay1968 (US1)

    All contracts have a hidden 5% bonus.  Go look at any of your main farm contracts, and calculate what the listed price should be.  You'll notice that the amount listed on the contract will be 5% higher than what you calculate.

    Level has nothing to do with the price listed on contract.  The level bonus is applied separately (it's the 2nd pile of cash that drops off the truck when you fill a contract)
    I don't think this is meaningful with fish market as the prices for direct sale and prices for market sale are completely different and calculated (or rather add hoc created) independently. In OM market sale price is based on direct sale price.
    The sell price it's based on might be different, but the calculations behind the contract pricing is the same for both the main farm and deep sea fishing.  I'll point out that my figures are much rounder and neater - everything is a multiple of 500 instead of a multiple of 25.  I'd wager that if were able to look into the coding behind the deep sea contracts, we'd see that they input the figures that I gave.

    Though in the end, it's really all the same thing.  It just depends on your perspective.  I view both main farm and deep sea contracts as following the same rules, and report the sell values for both as not including any contract bonus.  If you want to view them as each having different calculations, then you can roll the 5% bonus into the sell price for deep sea contracts and not roll the 5% bonus into main farm contracts.
    OK. I get your point. You are probably correct to say that equations behind the price calculations are the same for both OM and FM. The practical relevance would be that bonus (up to 25 %) resulting from contract upgrades will be based on 100 % of fish market sales value (however haphazardly obtained and unrelated to direct sale value), while what we see as price on zero point contracts is 105 % value. Good thinking.


    We should've known it was too good to be true....... :(      It's all about the gold.........Thanks GGS for gettin' everyone's hopes up AGAIN........smh....... :'(       I was wonderin' if Shay had figured out how many years it would take to get the cat??
    We should have, and indeed we did. :)

    Yesterday, on my Main farm. I collected 2 full batches of Cow feed, 1 full batch of Wet pig Feed, 2 full Silo batches and 2 full Composter batches, and also popped 21 bubbles.  My total for the day was 37,559.  This is possibly the max I could collect in a day, unless I want to sit around all day long popping bubbles.  Not sure of the drop rate and count on the different feeds either but I also don't want to sit around making Wet Pig Feed all day.  I calculate at this rate it would take me 119.8 days (close to 4 months) to get all the charms for my Main farm; that is if I never miss collecting the buildings I have mentioned on a regular daily schedule and popping about 20 bubbles in a row.  In the meantime, I have a 4x6 wasted space and less happiness.  I can completely understand a few days, even a week, possibly even 2 weeks but over 3 months it quite ridiculous.
  • I'm level 72 and cat charms required are 3.8 mil on MF.
    Not going to build another cat on the other farms at this point.  Especially since I read that not only do you need the 6x4 space, but once you have the required charms you need another 2x2 space, really!   As soon as I can, it'll be demo'ed.  Wish I had finished reading all the previous posts before building one on MF, what a waste:(


  • Just be glad some of you are getting Cat Charms at all.

    So many of us who invested in the Cat Tree are not.

    :- (

    Here's hopin' for a quick "fix" - real quick... super quick... mega quick....

    @Fincana (US1) and all who are having issues, I  do hope GGS can fix all quickly! 

    @Shay1968 (US1) I agree, it is nuts that it will take 3 months or more to collect the charms and activate the cat, especially for so little return other than the fact we wanted the cat! (and I do want my kitties  <3)

    @sally456 (US1) I hope the issue of needing the extra 2x2 space will be resolved as I hate to give up any space for sure!

    Personally, I love the kitty!  <3 and will keep collecting my charms til he is mine!!  Happy smileysHappy smileysHappy smileys

    I put one on my main farm which runs in the red anyway and one on my flower farm which runs in the green at 96%, the cat will not help or hinder my production there. I will not put one on my gourmet farm as that also runs in the green but not as good as flower farm but I put a lot of the VH decos there so village items in the bakery don't cost so much and here giving up a 6x4 space for a kitty would definitely hurt the balance of the farm.

    The bakery is not based on village happiness, it is based solely on gourmet farm happiness.

    Use the move cursor at the bottom of your farm next to the build slot.
