Could someone explain, calmly and rationally, why GGS made this change in the happiness formula? Thanks in advance. :)

    i think that will be a problem, as noone that actually knows. ever speaks in these forums.
    Our mods can only give the information they are given themselves, and has hence ended up lying to people. NOT on purpose, but because they belived it was true.

    It was said that the change was made to make sure the game was more fair to everyone, and so that running factoryfarms would be very hard, while playing with a lot of decos would pay off.

    So in short ( if i got it right) The change was made to get rid of the advantage factoryfarmers had over everyone else, and otherwise make it a more fair game for everyone.

    They failed miserably! I'm not seeing the fairness in this update.

    What advantage do factory farmers have over everyone else?

    Actually, the developers wanted to add better and bigger decorations into the game but because it was easy to get to 100% right now, they had to make it harder so that people can take advantage of those new decorations that we'll see soon hopefully :D

    Ezio :)

    That's it? So we can get better decos? or rather--so we have to get better decos to reach the almost 100%

    But Ezio.. they could not just SAY that.... people might think they were greedy, so instead they said workers were unhappy in a few places, lets change it for everyone:)

    Now a deco with value 21 gets my happiness up 1 point.. how big are the new decos?.. i cant farm in a forest:)

    you will not reach -100% running costs under this formula, you might get to -90% if you devote your entire farm to decorations.

    Actually with almost all decos and little production, you get to 96, not sure if you can get higher

    Haha lol :) I have no idea how big the decos are but all of Lattens posts that I read said that the happiness was changed for the decos :) Factory farms on the other hand were changed because they weren't playing the game the way it should be. (Lattens words not mine :))

    How were the factory farms changed and is that related to the change in happiness?

    Factory farms went from +300% to +500% so that people would go back to using decorations....... A lot of people seem to think that it's because of the factory farms but imo it's so that we get new decos :)

    What are factory farms ??? sorry newbie here still

    No problem, Factory farms are farms that only have production builldings and no decorations. They do this so that they can maximize the productions from the farms by using all the space instead of 'wasting' space by placing decorations :)

    Thanks,
