My favorite animals are the Ducks, the art work for them is so lovely.
I also like the peach orchards.
And the bakery Design is amazing to.
As far as profits go, I am know I am making money, did all the math.
I have also been able to get lots more XP from all the tasks, which has also helped me to level up.
So I like the new Gourmet Farm, and even though it was a little overwhelming at first, it was a challenge, and I like challenges.

Kat.
Use too many eggs; I can produce almost 5 times the amount with 2 chicken coops at level 5 in half the time than with 1 level 3 duck coop. (about 300 an hour)
It takes longer to produce supplies for the "newly renovated" bakery and uses ALOT more.
I was making almost 1 million in a 24 hour period. I have everything levelled to 3 and can make about 520,000 dollars in a 24 hour period.
I spent a lot of time and money building my actual gourmet farm, and it was just simply wiped away.
Yeah, sure, cutting down my build time in half really helped. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!?????
Why can't we incorporate this other "main Farm" with our challenges and missions?????
Now it's just like cooperativs in this game, you spend a lot and got back very little. Well ofcose if you play 10 years cooperativs and new gourment farm will give money.
I could do some things in the restaurants that didn't take so much time or products... Spaghetti was my favourit. Scrambled eggs if i didn't have any products...
Now i am struggeling with just get a few dollars here and there. I am not sure if i should do anything on the new farm or not.. seems like a waste of time. I am constantly in need of money. Earlier i could upgrade stuff and expand the farm.... not anymore.
Maybe i should stop doing things on the new farm and just try to earn money by selling them right away instead of trying to produce something in the bakery.
I really don't like this new farm.
Lovin' factory farms ...
Before the happiness update I had -100% running costs on my main farm and it made me happy to come play it each day with free animal feed and poof all that gone. Then the Gourmet Farm which made the bulk of all my income turned into some kind of game for children with 'cute new animals' and I'm just shaking my head. What does a gourmet farm got to do with any of the crap they have now, it isn't even organic which I would have been happy with because I HATE factory farms. I proved you could be successful without turning your farm into a slaughterhouse and a place that would give most people nightmares if they ever actually visited. I'm sorry, it just doesn't work on any level, it doesn't make money, it doesn't make sense and the graphics are so fuzzy and the animals so small it isn't even nice to look at. The animation sucks too or rather there is no animation just one movement repeated over and over like the main farm. These game developers have no talent at all compared to some games. If the profits don't make sense soon I will be just cutting loose that farm and just focus on the others. No point in throwing any more money down the outhouse.
Added note: I used to be an accountant before I retired and even I can't make head nor tails out of the bakery console. The old ones were simple and straightforward, you knew at a glance what you were going to make and what running costs were and even what you could tweak in order to make more profit without being an accountant. Now you need spreadsheets just to keep it all straight it's ridiculous. Who wants to bother with all that just for a game, if I want to get bored I will balance my checkbook. And boring as the gameplay, it's boring waiting to do six months of research before you find out if you can make money on peaches, no you have to do six levels of research on donkeys first like what do they think, donkeys are going to become a cash crop? Wow, now I have heard everything.
I agree. I invested a lot of time and money building the old Gourmet farm, which I loved, and reached a high level. It was then wiped away and replaced with this silly kiddie farm. I dislike it so much and find it so boring that I am not going spend another penny on it and usually don't even farm it. I find it utterly pointless and a HUGE disappointment. I am stunned when I read that anyone likes it. I have over a 100 unemployed workers now and housing I don't need that is not even worth tearing down. I'm growing weeds to feed ducks that provide eggs I don't need and goats who used to eat twigs and I don't know why I have a donkey. It's just so disappointing I can't bear to farm it anymore. I have ZERO interest in it now, whereas I loved the old one.

This so called "new gourmet" its totally for the kindergarden kids. Maybe ggs forgot that the most gold buyers are not the kids?! Am I supposed to clap my hands when i see the duck pond or those donkeys?! I start to get bored , and this is not good, and the worst part is that im not the only who started to get bored! I think the game already lost some players, and when the flower farm will be changed you will lose even more, and maybe , with some badluck game will die.so, I strongly suggest that the staff of this game to reconsider their plans on this game.Im new in this game, nearly have 4 months since i play it, but I already can tell you that this game is going in the wrong way.The old (real) gourmet attracted me , it was way more ineteresting than this ..Globus circus! whats next? monkeys collecting bananas?! This move had no brain, sorry!
Latten says that they realize people would want to change their name and suggests sending a ticket to Support to get it done.
I like all the new stuff. The old farm was pretty boring.
I like the challenge of learning a new balancing act to keep everyone fed and producing.
I actually liked rebuilding everything from scratch.
I like the animations (even though that is only cute for a few seconds then I've seen it.)
I like that the architect can be used on that farm now.
I know it makes no logical sense to have donkeys or goats on a "gourmet" farm, but it's just a game and I like more stuff to juggle.
I like how milk and eggs and fertalizer can be made in either farm. Slow if your away for long periods, or faster if you are here to play. (or both. I use both.)
cons;
Before even launching the gourmet farm, slashing happiness was real bad. That alone lost players.
They should have listened. No one liked that.
I really liked the nice big gorgeous restaurant. The new "bakery" is boring. Even high levels it looks like a grocery store. Yawn. I wish they would have expanded on the idea of a bakery AND restaurant. This new thing offers pie without any crust. WTH? Not a bakery. More like a smoothy bar.
Launching the gourmet farm with HUGE math errors costing people money with losses was a real blunder that SHOULD HAVE been fixed right away. Not weeks later. (It should have been found and fixed BEFORE rolling it out to the public.) And those who don't visit the forums thought it was planned that way. That too costed some players who simply left.
Profitability seems to be a whole lot harder now. Between the happiness being cut, land prices raised, and doing away with the very profitable ice cream, I don't see being able to buy land any time soon. Even small upgrades are tough. It's really taken a lot of fun out of the game when goals are SO far out of reach.
Now personally, I'm not in any hurry. I just like to play. Seems I level up without even trying. However, most people seem to be finding this a huge let down and are leaving. Out of three coops, none of them seem to be able to complete a project anymore. Too many members simply don't show up. People who did before all this.
In the end, it is what it is. Clearly they don't care how many complaints they get. So... either learn to like what we have, or give up the whole thing. That's our choice here.
I miss the old gourmet farm. But now I'll learn to find things about this new one to enjoy. I'm not ready to leave....... yet.
Is that why you're currently upgrading the bakery?
The only constant in life is change. So GGS bring on the changes, it keeps things fresh and interesting. I look forward to the garage and horse stables and MY FIRST BOAT ! :thumbsup:
AHOY MY M8TEES !!!

She's probably harvesting as much xp out of it as she can stand like just about everyone else. Other than that I use it only for co-op projects. Overall it lacks appeal on many levels.
