    So very happy with the Landscape Designer --- gone are my hated pandas and bbq's left in the drop box since I never had an open build slot to build and then destroy them! My Gourmet Farm is happy again! Woohoo! GGS has a big winner with this update!

    hehehee he he
    And I thought, Im the only one who got annoyed by the picnic-pandas, lol
    Don't misunderstand me , love Pandas , beautiful animals !! but most of Panda picnics I got from the Wheel of Fortune, buying (even buying extra) tokens and trying for better decos .... like Scarecrow, Bridge etc etc
    and always end up with Pandas or BBQ pits ...enough is enough !!

    Finally - all those decos, taken apart for parts to upgrade the decos I do like & would like to keep :)

    To be smart (I hope so, anyway) - I started with upgrades to high level decos first , like your final Event win decos (and some decos from Viking /Island farms I like).

    Very very nice features GGS !! This is the best idea in last few months - so useful, logical & no matter what level every player can use it :) BRAVO !!! (we need ideas like this in future) ;)

    Landscape Designer rocks !!!

    I'm on the fence. I love the landscaper so far. But I have half a foot in the ta152h camp. Minus all the calumny of course.

    I am enjoying the landscape designer!! =)
    I had to turn my farm into a semi production farm and it destroyed my happiness. Now with all those extra low level deco's, I can finally bring up my happiness and put some use to otherwise worthless decorations!!

    Now to see the contest of how much of a production farm players can create and still have some sort of happiness on your farm... LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!! :p

    I think the landscaper must have some big, brawny assistants somewhere because, looking at the size of that hammer on her toolbelt, I really don't think she has the biceps to swing it for very long. :)


    Apart from that, this looks great fun. A fine opportunity to come up with strategies to maximise ones happiness for minimum cost. I suppose some players will just throw gold at her but that's their choice (even if I think it is a poor one). Well done GGS, a pleasing addition.

    Hahahahahaaa you do NOT need to grow huge muscles , using supplements to swing a hammer - most muscular, people don't build-up bulk ;)
    If she does yoga (wink wink) I bet she can use that hammer & those garden sheers for as long as she needs :)))

    It's not the size that matter UncleJohn2 !! lol

    @Yakoska - this is still challenging to get the decos upgraded, you need to have either "building parts" or truck-loads of cash. I spend about 3mln & managed to upgrade only 5 decos, all of them I worked very hard to earn in Events.
    Will not have as many building parts next visit from Landscaper , which means I will be able to do maybe one deco at a time ;) I find that reasonable & interesting - as Uncle John2 mentioned, new strategy will have to be applied, as to what to keep, what to take apart etc etc
    New fun is good , even if it seems, making the game easier .... (not really, not yet anyway)

    So most of my co op members have the landscape designer but me. I am level 35. It doesn't say that there is a level requirement in the info about the update. Why do we not have the designer? I would like to up grade some of my deco's to. I don't have many in storage or inventory but I would like to be able to do some up grades, even if it's with farm dollars at least give it to us to make our own decision.

    Some of my lower leveled memebers still don't have the Landscape Designer. We are all talking about it in chat thinking everyone has it and then I have some members that are below level 40 and don't have the designer van. They are feeling a bit left out and I don't blame them. I was trying to find out info in the up date section or in complaints but haven't found anyone else complaining about it. Is this new event just for certain levels? Thanks!

    There are several reports here in this thread about lower-level players who don't have the landscaper. A level 40 player in our co-op is missing the landscaper's truck. It seems a shame for the landscaper to not be available for lower-level players, as it would be a great benefit for them. Besides, the announcement said nothing about players needing to be a certain level to have access to the landscaper. If the landscaper is available only to players above a certain level, what is that level, and why was that decision made? Can we get a response from a CM about this issue, please?

    ***Bangs head on keyboard****

    I like the new update but I just dismantled a couple or three big ornamental trees to upgrade a deco with parts to see how it goes. I ran out of parts so I went to dismantle more trees for parts & when I went back to upgrade the dang tab was on gold & I didn't notice until I didn't have enough gold for the next upgrade! I just wasted over 500 gold on this! :( I'm not blaming GGS because the fault is mine for not paying attention. I just hope others pay more attention than me so they don't lose their gold.

    I thought I didn`t have it either, reloaded game & all that jazz..... Then I actually paid attention & realised she has stolen Benny`s truck ... Never occurred to me to click that one, I just assumed it was Benny.

    I understand the "too easy" line of thought, although, I do like that it should open up space. If my decos can do more, I can have fewer of them and more farm items. So the potential for "balance" still seems to be there. Will there be those that go overboard? Of course, but in a non-gold world, so far this seems to be a help in freeing up space. There is an initial spike in happiness, before people sort out their farms, but that occurred with the introduction of the happiness farm machine as well. Thus, I similarly expect that it should sort itself out. So, I am moderately in the positive camp.

    The graphics design did not change when you upgrade a deco, it's only the deco's happiness raising.

    The humus pro and special press lvls 1 and 2 can be started without toolboxes just certificates. It still counts and leaves your toolboxes for other things

    I do understand that you can run the machines without tools, but what you can't do, is get them built. I used the powerhouse on Wed morning and it still has over 12 hours of cool down.

    Why do I have no landscaper on my farm? Level 47. She's visiting other members of my co-op. What's up with that?

    I'll suggest that, you ASAP build the next farm machine, so you have 2 different machines. Then when the one cool down, you can start the other one.

    I DID EXACTLY THE SAME!!! Lost the last 4800 gold i had.
    Ok.
    I totally love this landscaper. Now i can choose wich decos i want and dont want, and make them usefull too. This is excellent! Now i can make my farm look how i want to.

    BUT theres this HUGE flaw, and when i mention "gold", you probably just think -same old, same old, and skip reading the rest. But seriously!!! The choice to dismantle or improve stays as it was, last time you used landscaper. If you dismantled, the choice to take decos from farm, local store or dropbox also stays the same from last time. But the method of paying does not!!! NOOO it swaps back to gold payment every time!!!

    GGS, thumbs high up for this upgrade, but its incredible you keep doing this, tricking people to loose their gold, i call it. You have worked hard and long for that greedy, money-grabbing rep you have - dont make it worse!

    Edit: It was actually 6800.. Had just harvested gold from the mine... :(

    When I go to improve or dismantle decorations, I can see all my decorations except my beautiful telescope. I have tried logging in and out and it still doesn't fix it. How can I fix this?

    Your telescope's value is "S" or unique, and can't be upgraded.

    I want to know why I don't have the landscaper. Level 47. If it was only for certain levels and above, it should have been mentioned in the official announcement.

    There is a minimum level, Brit. I just don't know what it is. I am guessing it is around 50. I know people in the 50's with the landscaper and some in the 40's without. Hopefully GGS will clarify.

    And yes, the defaulting back to gold on the tab at the bottom all the time, is a major concern. Why can't it default to farm cash? I earn all of my gold, and a mistake like that would really cost me.

    Lastly, when will the landscaper return? It is fair to ask GGS to at least hint. Not an exact date, but just a phrase, like "It will be similar to the architect," would suffice.
