While I do think that there are companies out there that will match your description, and I actually think this is a great topic to discuss, it doesn't really belong in the update discussion
Thank you,
Timo
While the architect was here I upgraded 3 houses to level 4, that only cost me loss of happiness: -84 to -80
I don't know why 1 single update have cost you so much.
Sorry about that
Some parts of the curve (based on the algorithm that translates net happiness points to running costs) are much steeper than others.
You can read it about it in this thread.
I will wait until after the new upgrade (which should happen any time now) and if things haven't improved I'm afraid I just won't be able to keep playing. I understand there needs to be some challenge in a game but it also needs to be consistent and fair for everyone. GGS also needs to recognise that by making the game like this cannot be in their best interest, it is causing divide and disagreements between the people that are greatly effected and those that are not.
I have never played the game to compete with anyone except myself (again, play how you want personally not how someone wants you to) and by this I mean my farms were set up only for the personal challenges. I have never been attracted to "team games" as it is so hard to find a group of people who share the same ideas and game-play as me. I have only been in an active co-op for 3 weeks now and am now lvl 54. Was lvl 51 when I joined them and I have learned so much and met some really great people. It is only been in the last 2 weeks that I understand that playing the way I was is no longer possible, I have had to sell production buildings just to add decorations because I was actually loosing money after the update and if anyone disputes that they are full of poop . I can now actually make a little money but it will take me forever to get anywhere now.
I know there are others out there that have been effected similarly and have posted about it. It just seems to fall on deaf ears or gets negative posts from players who either have not been effected as bad or are already in positions to make changes to their farms with minimum disruption to them.
So for me its a waiting game now. The changes to be made are critical for many, if things stay as they are now I personally won't be playing on and I know a lot of people who feel the same.

I try to take away just one 5x5 deco worth +74 happiness, and guess what happens to my running cost?
Running cost escalated to +77% (houses 1925, decorations 1899, Total -26). 8|
What your research has told me personally is that you have 2 choices in game play, 1/ you play hard to win and go full on factory/production or 2/ you play part time and have more decorations than productive buildings.
Neither of these options really appeal to me and from reading many forum posts from other people won't appeal to them either. What happened to just logging on for a little while each day, having a little bit of fun playing and meeting and chatting to like minded people who are doing the same thing? The developers are turning the game into a full time job.
Personally I don't want to play a game where you need an in-depth knowledge of mathematical formulas just to be competitive or even to just improve at a steady rate. For me I liked the relaxed game play (choice on how to play) and the social side. Now it seems how we play is being governed by what is best for the developers.
Thanks for all your hard work and making a little sense out of this.
Wow, just wow.
GREAT post.
@Bundy4 - sorry about that. Fixed it already.
@Emma Freel -
(1) Most people have already made the decision (and acted on it) whether to stay or leave.
(2) It is also very clear to all that GGS will not reverse the happiness upgrade. People get this already.
(3) For those who've decided to stay, it's more likely they're staying not for the love of the game but because of their co-op and the friendships they made on here.
(4) As for people writing the same things over and over, this is after all the happiness thread where people are expected to comment about what they think and feel about the upgrade.
not a threat just a fact!
Is anyone else having this problem?
I have tasks/objectives on main farm to build exp. 4 cowsheds level 5, cherry level 5 or 6 not sure, etc.
Two days ago reward was like 1100 xp for cowsheds, 300 or something like that for cherry and now cowshed experinace is just 120.
They never told us that ahead of time, did they? Hoping it'll just go unnoticed perhaps.
I did find this from Nafaru though (posted after the update):
I have checked back a few times to see how the new gourmet farm would go & have absolutely no interest in adding more stress to my life.
I have found a free farm game, where gold is entirely optional to buy, updates come frequently so there is new stuff all the time. I will be just fine without GGS.
Peace.
