Information/Feedback about the Gift Wrapping Station 2022

See my thread about holly mystery.

Ok, just found out that when I fill someone’s crate I get 20, when I fill my own crate I get 22. So the 10% extra holly works only on your own farm. I will try this again if I have the opportunity and confirm my own findings.

EDIT: hmmm, don’t have to do another test. The number of holly you get is in the info of the crate. So the 10% only applies to own gift crates. 😂🤣

I agree it’s a big commitment for a temporary machine, has got me thinking if it’s going to be an annual event & your upgrades are carried forward.

Eturtle , I agree with everything you said (but can’t figure out how to add your quote).

Thanks, Tahoe 🐾 ! I’ve been doing that in the way you see here, but when there are quotes nested within quotes, and I only want to quote the most recent one, I don’t know how to remove the previous one(s). Sometimes it works to simply delete the unwanted portion, but in this case the formatting kept getting messed up, and it attributed the last quote to the previous person (whose quote I’d deleted). So in the case of what I quoted above, I would have ended up with the quote from you – but with my name instead of yours as the author. The more I tried to fix it, the more messed up it got, so I finally gave up and left out the quote.

I agree. I seriously dislike boats and rarely do them unless there’s an event with good rewards (more than just 10 diamonds). I never imagined a boat event lasting this long…

I think I’ll do the same, 🌼GymGirl🌺. I’m really tired of all the boats, and they’re making the game feel like a chore. I want it to be fun again!

I don’t think I’d mind it as much if I weren’t also doing the derby, the valley, and the farm pass. All four together are just too much work, and the boats are by far my least favorite part. It’s too bad, because the gift catalog idea is fun.

At least we opted out of the derby.
I am doing that and will see how it goes.

My baby farm has lain dormant for months as it is just too time consuming to do two farms.
I have enough hollys to get the tree market which is really the main thing I want and I purchased a few other things but I am cutting back now. Over it altogether🤔 

Me too, was diligent first couple of days, now am bored. I much prefer the town. Have gone back to doing my 2 boats per day.

I agree with all of you as well. It's hard work doing boats for such a long time. Of course you have not to do every boat, nevertheless it's time consuming. You have to decide whether to serve a boat or not. If yes, prepairing the products and of course having the wanted gifts. And always being forced to watch the time for the gifts at the machine. 

I also stepped back by now, although I skipped the derby this week. It's too much and no longer fun, the opposite is the case, it's kinda boring, as already stated. Furthermore I'm dealing with the same issue as described, neglecting my town. Additional resisting to serve my townies completly due to the ingredients for the gifts. It has begun to annoy me. 

Conclusion:

Like 🌼GymGirl🌺 wrote, stepping back is a good idea. Only doing those orders/tasks with which you are comfortable with. If you have doubts about it...let it be. I think you loose nothing. Despite from your nerves. I intend to concentrate again on my town. This is something where I know what I have. 

What i am doing for holly is working with my mini farms, I'm flagging the crates for the gifts only and filling them with my main. can do this about once a day since i don't do anything else with those boats, wait for the timer to countdown and a new boat gets sent.
If i dont have the needed gifts to fill it i just ignore it.

I had the same thought, that a little too much is going on at once. It doesn't help that it is a blossom derby. Those are always stressful for tiny neighborhoods. In mine we are just my sister and myself, so we are constantly deleting all the small tasks, so we can get some with decent points.
