Easter Event / Easter Egg machine

Are the prizes available in the catalogue the same for everyone?

You are right, a cheap free booster is always good to have to swap it if you get a better one. 
But unfortunately this event it works different. 
The booster doesn't go into your storage as a free booster. You have to swap it. I heard that from different players. I think it isn't fair. 

For me the boosters aren't very important. My storage already contains more than 300 boosters. 
So I don't waste the bunnies for it.

I didn’t even notice that with regard to the booster. I believe next week there isn’t a booster as reward, so can’t test it. Most of the time when I play Hayday it’s in autopilot mode, basic fast routine and strategy play. So don’t pay to much attention to where things are “flying” on my farm. Might have been so that I trashed that booster that came with the chocolate bunnies this week. 

Yep aware, was mentioned in the maintenance thread. 

Cowslips - I was wondering how you were able to hold so many blueprints. I had 15, so couldn’t buy the blueprints in the catalogue. So I used some up to make space. I understand that we get extra space for drops when our barns are full. Was it like that?

It was much more complex; I'll try to explain.  At one point I had many more blueprints, but I've used numerous ones, so down to just 30!

A considerable time ago some players experienced a major glitch with customised decorations; I was one of those players.  Some of the customised decorations became "stuck" and could not be put into storage.  As an added problem, every time I tried to store one of the affected decorations the game crashed.  I spent hours testing which ones were faulty, and moving them to one area on my farm, so that I could avoid causing a an accidental crash.

When Supercell corrected the glitch some of my customised decorations reverted to their first (uncustomised) level.  Poor Alfred made numerous trips to my farm, bringing items to replace those that had been used to customise those decos.  He brought me many blueprints, among other items.  Bless him!

I just ordered 4 items from the catalog- 2 deco, axes and saws (each one at a time). Alfred delivered the first 3 fine, but the 4th (saws) went straight into storage (not delivered by Alfred) 🤔

I just bought a booster from the second part of the catalog. It was delivered by Alfred. However, it didn't go into storage. I need to pay 500 diamonds to keep the booster or swap it with another task that I already have already.

I thought there was a change to make the boosters go into storage without having to pay diamonds or swap with an existing booster?

I just bought all the boosters from the second part. Alfred delivered them. They were all three stars and free storage.

I am done since 3 days. Only producing requests from my main farm and my babyfarms. I didn't fullfill the boat orders completely but only the crests for eggs. After that I waited until the boat leaves the landing stage. I neither flagged crests nor used diamonds for speeding up the boats.

I got everything I wanted and am satisfied. Those events are nice but I am also glad when I am done bc I prefer basically "normal" farming. Meaning for me to serve IF I want and WHEN I want. The events require more online time. Due to this I enjoy right now normal farm life and watching my animals. If I feed them. 😉

I am finished also, I have what I want from the catalogue and am not interested in the rest.

I’ve gotten everything I want from the catalog, and I have a stockpile of eggs that I was hoping to use to help people fill crates. At this point, I don’t care about getting more chocolate bunnies; but I thought that people might want to send boats on their way even if they weren’t able to fill all the egg baskets themselves. Well, I haven’t been looking for long, but it seems that everyone has gotten used to this event format and no longer flags egg crates. I stockpiled eggs because I wasn’t sure what type of egg each boat would want, and I wanted to be ready if possible. I’m happy to have gotten all the prizes, but I wish I could do something with my eggs other than fill boat crates that will eventually just be coins that I don’t need. This isn’t a complaint, just an observation that this event has evolved differently for me than previous ones.

My experience is that this event was so much easier to do than the previous ones. Especially the last easter event.

So I checked my notice from last year and compared it.
The first week the points I wanted to earn were very similar.
But the second week was very hard last year. I wanted to receive nearly 2400 points for all I wanted. This year it was only 1900 points.

And I also compared the prizes.
Week 1 (bunnies 2023 / 2024)
Scroll 400 / 130
2x Scrolls 800 / 3x scrolls 390
Chick voucher 250 / 150

Week 2:
2x scrolls 800
3x scrolls 100 (seems like SC made a mistake, but we were able to buy this).
This year: 3x scrolls 390
1x scroll 130 (two prizes are available)

Chick voucher 400 / 150

Last year I bought only the things that were important for me.
This year I had so many bunnies left, that I bought the whole first part (without blueprints bc of the limit).
And nearly the whole second part.
And I think many people were able to earn enought bunnies very fast and already bought what they want.

Also an observation but I can't check it, because I haven't tracked this:
The mastery of the machine was easier. I earned the first star very fast and also the second one.
In the last event IIRC I only got the first one.
I think this also makes a little different. It is only 10% more bunnies. But I think this also helps a little bit.
(I didn't get the third star, because I didn't produce more eggs after I had enough bunnies).

So the people are done. In my opinion it doesn't make sense to produce more eggs when you don't need the bunnies. The ingredients are to useful, I think. So many people have finished with this event and don't do more boats, I think.
