The enchanted tree has 20 squares and 33 happiness; it's the best happiness per square you can buy with farm dollars (apart from the variable and undependable values of a telescope), so that's your best choice to fill in large areas as soon as it unlocks for you. The pile of goods has 18 squares but only 20 happiness; it's utterly wasted in a large area. Square for square, even the fountain is actually a better value than the pile of goods.
The greatest value of the pile of goods is its shape. When you've got a long space that's only 3 squares wide, such as you often have beside a barn, pigsty, or orchard, especially in that awkward plot that sticks out to the side of your farm when you're expanding, the pile of goods is beyond price, because not much else will fit in there, so the space would otherwise be wasted.
Look what happens to the happiness meter if you take 2 pile of good and put in 1 shed instead. If space allows: 2 pile of good is better than 1 shed.
And a tip for when you want to tetris your own farm. Look for things to give you multiples of 5's. Ex, 7 +8 = 15, so orchards or sty/barns next to fields or cow barns can be fit nicely together. Or 7+7 +6 = 20. And 5 orchards lined up is 7 x 35 add a row of 5 fields 8 x 30 + 1 cowshed 8 x 5 gives you 8 x 35. Together you get 15 x 35. Leaving you plenty of space for the best 5 x4 and 5 x 5 deco's.
Hope this helps. Happy tetrising
IF space allows 2 pile of good is better than 1 shed. If i know that is the case, I would make sure i have plenty of room to have lots of pile of good.
Hmmmmmm... That will probably help things once I get rid of the stupid holes in the middle of my farms. I'll have to see if I can make it work with my preference for having my fields in a clump in the middle rather than all in a line!
The best tetrising advice I can give is that the composter plus the nursery makes a very neat 5x10 package.
Monica imagine you have a lot of 6x3 deco's you put them together to make a 6x6. Line them in a row of 4 sets gives 6 x 24. That is 8 6x3 deco's at 20 each gives happiness of 20 x 8 = 160. Now in that same 6 x24 space you can have 6 6 x 4 sheds at 35 happiness each. Giving you happiness of 35 x 6 = 210. In conclusion 6 sheds is better than 8 pile of goods.
The pile of goods does come in handy for those spots that nothing else will fit, but other decorations can give you much more happiness.
Also another tip for tetrissing. If you have 3 orchards that gives 21 x 7, Add the silo, water tower or any 4x4 item with the 4x3 duck pond that can be found for free on your farm. This gives you a 4 x7 to add to orchards giving you a 7 x 25. Line that up with the farm house and 3 cowsheds 8x25 and you have 15 x 25.
And yes the nursery is great with the composter.
I am still trying to get the happiness raised for that achievement thing, so i am still experimenting.
This is one of the things the Redecorate your farm the easy way tool is really good for. I use the happiness per square from the spreadsheet to identify my most valuable decorations — event prizes, enchanted trees, stone dragons, and thickets for me — and then I shuffle around my buildings to plot out the largest possible area to put those 5x5 and 5x4 decorations, hoping I still have a 4x4 space left for my birdhouse. Once I've placed as many of those as I can, then I worry about filling in any remaining weird spaces with that free duck pond and then the lesser decorations that actually fit them. Any juggling is going to be aimed at primarily making a high happiness per square deco fit, or secondarily for not leaving any unoccupied squares, rather than working for combinations I prefer for other reasons.
And once I've bumped my achievement as high as I can, then I put things back into the arrangements I like best for aesthetics and convenient clickability, such as putting low stone dragons or frog princes instead of tall trees in front of production/processing buildings, until the next expansion.
Maybe you can re-download the tool and try with this description? Just trying to help
I give up before i break or delete something really important on my computer.
So save it and then try to open? still goes to a page that says i don't have the right program.
OMG i got it, but not sure how LOL
This is a great resource, but I notice that the "Tree with Rope Lights" is not listed, but I've seen it on a couple of farms. Anybody know its specs?
You can see all decos and their info in the deco tower and calculate the happiness per square yourself
