Time capsule 4 june

First of all, thank you ducktown2021 for sharing the screen shot.

Now I'm tempted to change the theme of my Main Farm from Solyent Green to Birthday Bash. ;-)

Hmmm, have to wait for two days for Maggie to show up….., can’t be correct can it.

Maybe Maggie is partying in London during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee? There's two more days of celebration left so she'll be back in Helsinki on Monday ready to fulfill our customization requests. ;)

Could be, but I think Maggie is taking a break, just like Queen Elisabeth. 😂🤪

Hang on!!! Just been onto a Hoody's farm to help them, and the have the house, truck and shop - same as on Greg's farm!

Indeed, she is like the bunnies, always early. And the number of coins, vouchers and diamonds. 😂👍😉🤔

bought them all, couldn’t resist. Switched back to the cheapest builds.

If I wasn't saving for a yogurt machine,

(I'm at around 600 thousand at mo)

Then I might have been tempted.

But I know I will want my own designs back ASAP!

And the cost of that means its not worth the change...even for 10 gold 😆

I may eventually want to change my designs but it took me a few years of trial and error to find the combo I have now, I love seeing it when I load the game!

I was going to jump in and buy them all - especially as the offer on the house is so fantastic at just 10 coins for each element.
But......

• I've just been wiped out of coins (again) since the yoghurt machine. In fact, I'm always playing catch up with coins, the another machine comes out. Of course it will cost coins to revert designs back after the birthday event.
• I am desperately trying to save vouchers for the new-ish animals, guinea pigs. Again, as soon as I seem to have a stock they get wiped out. Especially short of purples. Again, a cost to revert back after event.
• Diamonds, well they always go quickly. I've rather got into the habit of employing Ernest and Rose and find the game a struggle without them. And again, more diamonds to revert back.
• I've just remembered the costs of getting back my original and favourite House, Shop and Truck after the recent muck up. I know SC tried to compensate us, but I really still lost lots of resources getting back my original designs. I LOVE the themed Maggie designs, Birthday, Halloween etc and would be much more likely to buy them if I could revert to my previous favourites at a reasonable cost.

How about Supercell let us BANK ONE favourite design for each the shop, house and truck which we can revert to at a minimal cost after events. Like 10 coins, or 1 diamond, maybe even 1 green voucher? I would be much more likely to use diamonds, coins, vouchers if I new it was just a one off outlay, and I don't want to be stuck with the new designs after the event...

Of course check back later, I may have caved and bought the whole lot 😂 But am holding off certainly for now.

I agree. I kinda like the farmhouse, truck and RSS although it's a "little bit" eye-catching. It's beautiful and you can see the love for detail. But I have the same problem like BauldersGate and perhaps some other members with expensive design. There is no point for re-buying the fav design for a lot of coins, vouchers and sometimes with diamonds.

Sorry, but I won't be a party to that. Additional, the offer is only attractive for the part of the farmhouse, truck and RSS are expensive. Not thought through properly. In my opinion.

Maggie is at my farm today with the red white and blue decor. Way to loud for me. Might buy to keep in storage. Just don't think I Would use it. Seen it all on a couple farms and hoo boy it's glaring loud.

Maggie has arrived on my farm and I customized it like the screenshot in the OP.

I found a way to balance it that worked for me.  

Most recently I had a blue roof on the house, with the walls that are half stone on top/half blue planks on the bottom, with the dock base.  

I kept my blue roof the same, and switched the walls so it’s just a couple of shades of blue with a touch of red on the window, and it has the star.  No huge amount of dark red/dark blue that hurts my eyes, lol.  I switched the base, which is pretty neutral.  

i got the truck, which reminded me of ones decorated as a parade float.  

For the shop, I got the fair themed base and walls (or whatever it’s called) but left my yellow canvas roof on it.  Star theme present, mostly blue but not the crazy overwhelming number of red and blue balloons, and the yellow with it I find more calming.

So I have something to celebrate the birthday fair, but didn’t get the things I found overwhelming just for the sake of it (only to have them take up storage space and have to “pay” to replace). 

Dear farmer,

I think I have to clarify something. My above posting wasn't a complaint, and neither a begging for money. I beg for pardon if you got this impression, this was NOT my object. It's more a personal thing.

I have plenty of coins to get the offer from Maggie and to rebuild it after some time. Also I'm able to buy the last machine. But I won't. Due to some reasons.

One of them is a place problem due to a permanent lack of scrolls. But this is only MY problem and is not supposed to bother you. At this point thank you very much for your contribution.

Very well summed up.

Yes, different approaches are possible, and that's indeed ONE of the strengths of the game to do what pleases you.

And vice versa to avoid what gives you a hard time. That's the spirit of the game.
