Autumn Update 2023

If it is oats is a cereal machine then likely? 🤔

Yes I remember pingu as being very cheeky 🤣



Good few species with eyebrows to choose from, Macaroni being the bigest (with a dark face)

Looks like oats to me too.

Redknight just posted sneak peek number 3, all about breakfast. Also some products that you might need. We already know we get two penguins and most likely oats. With the hints regarding the breakfast we might get another machine (bleh) that makes breakfast. You need 🍯, milk, 🍎 jam and several other long time growing fruits/vegetables for it according his vid. Check it out so you are prepared once’s the update drops.

With the ingredients red Knight mentions it just seems to be a purely porridge based machine where getting? Maybe some overnight oats?

Don’t we already have pancakes, bacon & eggs in the grill?  We have a yogurt machine.  We have omelets. We have waffles. But yea, probably some cereal thingy.  

Yikes! Glad I have a baby farm with a jam maker.

To no surprise, there are (6) six new products ‼️😱 My barn is at 10,000 and nothing stored over 85 items. That means selling down my inventory. The game will then ask over and over again for those products I sold. It would be nice to have a “MINI” BARN to store upgrade items for the buildings and land. A GIRL CAN HOPE‼️🤞🏻🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ Happy Fall Y’all ❣️🍁

Deffinetly great idea to have Silo and Barn upgrades with a level upgrade!!
We have 2 animal feed makers and 2 sugar mills
Yes! Increase storage
The Sanctuary in the town could really open up the town with new buildings and activity.
The Sanctuary could even be a stand alone...but since it is connected with the town..so many new options.
I guess SC isn't thinking outside the box. Only adding new crops, food, animals..and throwing in a few machines.
I was noticing a deco I wanted, didn't have enough diamonds, I even was mining. Next day, deco gone.
If they didn't care, they could leave offers open a little longer. Oh well.
S 😒

I see it different Donkeyfan, there is a reason that the new machine and crops are available from level 119, that’s to keep the new and low level players committed and try to gain money from them. For us 10+ year players and high level it’s nothing new and brings nothing new, same old same old. Yes it’s called an update but it doesn’t bring anything new to the game. It’s their business model and we keep it going. 😉

I agree. I am tired  if stacking and trying to keep up with the dairy etc that are always needed.  Some days I feel I am close to retiring the farm. 

This happened the last update, town maps flooded the newspaper. I bought 100 of them, then had to turn around and sell them.😬 I bought some this time, so I’ll see if it works this time. Off topic a bit, I saw a post on Dashboard today and got a BIG LAUGH 😂. I’m one of the original players and I NEVER heard of “I DEMAND “‼️ Yes, they DEMAND HayDay take off the limit (80) on purchasing barn, silo, and land expansion pieces. My, how it went from “please” to “demand”. Do they not remember the “BOT FARMS”? I wouldn’t play this game if it stressed me out that much. Oh well, still hoping for the town to open up more land. I’m excited for this update ❣️👍🏻 HAPPY FARMING ❣️👩🏻‍🌾🌾

Oh the bot farms.  I remember players who were affected.  Poor things.  I can’t lie though: I do miss the never-ending supply of wheat. It was only after the implementation of the limit on EMs that I realised the extent of the bot farms and the “for-profit” farms (those selling whole farms, and EMs, for real money).

I’m really torn.  I know the huge milk, sugar and cream requirements (for example) are meant to encourage us to constantly hire Ernest and Rose and so increase profits to keep the game going.  The deco-for-diamond offers - same thing. Encourage us to spend them so we have to buy more. I had thousands of diamonds at one point because I used to buy the deco packages a lot, but at the same time I exercised patience when farming so I hardly spent them.  

Like 🌼GymGirl🌺 I’m sometimes frustrated.  Unfortunately for SC, the frustration doesn’t lead to the hoped-for behaviour.  Rather I cut back on the farming and I don’t buy as many packages as I used to.  The barn and silo upgrade when they upgrade.  I lose, or don’t play, the derby and drop back. Forget chasing trophies like I used to.  I don’t use (paid) FarmPass.  And I know all this hurts the game’s bottom line and I know I don’t want the servers to be turned off for good but the actions all trigger my “exercise self control” tendencies. I am a huge proponent of delayed gratification.  I get immense joy in the reward at the end of the grind.  I’m not the SC target.

It’s why even though I don’t really like the new brighter colours and cartoony looks, I suffer them gladly hoping they attract enough new, young, (eventually) long term players. I really think SC is juggling a lot of balls.  They know what’s making huge profits in the gaming world these days.  They have Clash. They invested in Merge Mansion. They know.  HayDay isn’t it.  They can’t turn it into Clash without losing us old faithfuls. Plus it’s probably technically unmanageable.  But they still have to make enough to justify keeping the lights on.  That means using attrition re staffing.  No huge outlays. Creativity is still there.  It’s just not being approved. 

The ads.  Source of income for HD.  Cause of nuh-uh for me.

So while the basic “updates” do feel like a long trek to the end, the existence also means our small team cares enough to keep fighting for us (and yes, their jobs😊, but us too).

So yeah.  Like all human beings, I’m a bit of a contradiction.  I “know” what it takes, but I’m not really willing to play the game, but I want what I want, though I’ll take what I get, even while I grumble 🫣 (hopefully just a little and not for too long).🤷‍♀️

(And bless you all for listening to me ramble)
