Is anybody buying new land on gourmet farm before update?
Would welcome input on what other people are doing and not doing on Gourmet Farm right now.
Comments
I've already got all but 2 plots on the gourmet farm, so there's no good reason for me not to stick with what I have. We also will have plenty of empty land to start with, since everything that couldn't stay exactly the same will be removed and will have to be rebuilt.
I am very much looking forward to the smaller footprints of the revamped buildings, though! From the images in the in-game announcement, I'm guessing the almond orchards are dropping down to 7x7 like apples and cherries, and the gardens look like they're going to be 8x6 like fields. That should give enough additional space to allow me to get my happiness back up to a reasonable level again. Hopefully losing the restaurant and the dairy will give enough space to build a suitable assortment of ducks, donkeys, peaches, and whatever else, too.
I personally have ceased development on the gourmet farm (I'm finally developing my long-neglected flower farm instead), but I do plan to run it normally right up until the last day. It would be foolish to lose the income, plus I expect to get back a decent amount of money from whatever non-continuing items get sold from my storage.
I don't think it's a bad idea to continue developing the gourmet farm if you want to, though, because even though you will have to rebuild after the change, you can still get experience and other rewards from completing tasks. And of course since GGS are reimbursing us every dollar spent on buildings that get removed, you lose nothing for it.
The invest
I'm trying to be positive about the upcoming changes. My problem on the Gourmet Farm is things are so expensive to upgrade and need so many workers to run them. I right away built 2 meadows on Gourmet Farm so as to be able to grow 2 crops at once. Of course that took up space I should have saved for houses, dairy, or bakery. I've slowed down since I know better now. Taking things slower and trying not to get ahead of myself so to speak.
I've also continued upgrading and expanding on gourmet farm. Upgraded 2 gardens from lvl 1 to lvl 3, built lvl 2 dairy and built 2 orchards. Also I've bought 3 or 4 expansions. All of that to maximize production of ice cream, since the update is coming at the end of the month, so why not to use gourmet farm to maximum until update.
I feel similarly with regard to the new research. We were informed that they would change to go along with the new Gourmet farm changes. But not that the costs would skyrocket beyond imagination.
