I think it's a shame that Staff have already said it won't happen

I would love to do it too, specially with the decorations I no longer use on a farm. I hate it when I need a pile of goods on flowers and I knów I have one in stock on main.

BUT.... I understand why staff doesn't want it.

Imagine a big player, using gold. We will call him Jake.
Jake has 2 teagardens, 2 waterfalls, 2 fairytowers, 10 tractors and 4 koi ponds.

Each morning Jake harvests his farm and puts the decorations out on his main farm. Feeds, plants, fertilizes etc.
Then he stores his decorations, and moves on to his foodfarm. He puts them out and plants, fertilizes and sets buildings at work.
Then he moves on to flowers and does the same.

If moving the decorations would not have been possible, Jake would've had to spread out his special deco's from the events, ánd he would've had to buy tractors and koiponds and unicorns etc for áll his farms! And thus spending a lot more gold on the game.

Furthermore, the keeping up of happiness and tetrissing your farm is a big part of the game, if you would allow people to move their decorations, that would be ruined, even if you're not a golder.

So I think both are reasons for GGS to not allow deco movement. I sometimes hate it too, also when a new farm comes out and I know I have gazillions of unused deco's in my store, but it is what it is. And this is the way the game rolls.

I agree, it would be helpful if we could move our decos around different farms. Hope you will keep our requests in mind for the future. PLEASE! ;-d

hey all,

As has already been stated, there are no plans to add this into the game.

Regards,
Ethan

I was wondering why we can´t change the farm we want to place our decoration in. Once you´ve placed a decoration in a farm, you can´t change it by placing it in another farm, I think this can be annoying since we might want to change it sometime but can´t.

For example on the events when we work really hard to get the decorations, or the charity event where we pay lots and lots of money, we might decide to place it on the main farm but then later we change our minds and want to place it on the restaurant farm but can´t. We have to pay twice as much and work twice as hard AGAIN just so that we can change the location.

I just don´t understand why were not able to do that.
I think it would be a good idea to change that.

There are plenty of threads on this already. I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

It might be possible to implement this in the future with enough restrictions in place to stop the merry-go-round game.

You could have a choice to move a decor into the drop box instead of inventory. Then anything moved from the drop box onto a farm still has the full rebuild time plus it uses up our one construction slot.

If necessary, there could also be a gold charge to have something moved to the drop box.

That should be enough to make it work surely. :)

[723509] pisoi3 [None] :: Sept. 18, 2013, 2:29 p.m.
maybe not gold charge :) but $74.000 is a fair price to move a 74 happiness deco. or maybe $740.000?

Just as we have a limited time to use the architect, (by the way I love this), could we not have a limited time to use the "landscape architect" and be allowed to move decorations from one farm to another? Those of us who realized too late that we would like to have each farm with it's one theme, fantasy, camping etc., would love to be able to organize farms appropriately. Thanks for listening.

unfortunately,ggs has stated several times that moving decos from farm to farm aint gonna happen.

[3717515] tippy28132 [None] :: Nov. 11, 2013, 1:58 p.m.
Why is it that we can't store a decoration and be able to place it on another farm? I would like to have the option or doing that. Why should i buy all of these decorations and then have to buy more decorations for my other 2 farms. it doesn't make sense. Please can we have the option when we store something of placing it on another farm if we so choose to instead of buying buying buying.

thank you

[739133] MalikBilal2 [None] :: Nov. 11, 2013, 2:16 p.m.
that has already been discussed and ggs has said that this will not happen

[739134] danther2 [None] :: Nov. 11, 2013, 2:19 p.m.
And there is a reason for it, players can buy(or achive) one set of decos and move it from farm to farm when needed, that can be tollerable by ggs if it was event or dollars decos but when it comes to gold decos, they just wont accept it.

guys I am closing this thread now. GGS have already said this will not happen.

[742976] PauloGaita2 [None] :: Nov. 26, 2013, 7:49 p.m.
I like the drop box option, but maybe use a time limiter instead of dollars/gold.

Say you put a decoration in the drop box, then you need to wait a given period of time before it becomes available to use again. That makes old decos reusable and prevents happyness merry-go-rounds, specially if it's something like 12+ hours.

Having to build it again also works for me, I just want to be able to use my no longer needed decos on another farm. But of course, eventually I'll be of a high enough level that this won't matter, assuming I keep playing...

My thoughts on this topic are that if I can only have one build slot for all my farms, then the things I build in this build slot should be able to move to other farms. If only one "manufacturing plant," then why multiple inventories. Logistically, this doesn't make sense. We should get a new build slot for each farm, then I can build a deco on gourmet while building a deco on main farm. This would solve a lot of the complaints, I think, about moving decos, because it would take the same time to build a flower garden on all three farms at same time. I know I can't afford the build time to constantly be building decos on all my farms when upgrades take so long (and I'm only level 35 now, i can't imagine how bad its going to be when I have the flower farm, too).

[743043] smellybuns (US1) [None] :: Nov. 27, 2013, 12:21 a.m.
Why not allow one to move a deco between farms using dropbox (rather than storage) but institute a time delay to do it? Perhaps 1 day? 2?

[743078] Rusty Farmer (AU1) [AU1] :: Nov. 27, 2013, 2:17 a.m.
Perhaps it takes the same build time again to move the deco to the drop box as when replanting it. Maybe "rebuilding" the deco to the drop box takes up the construction slot.
Effectively, this means it would take twice as long to build an existing deco on another farm and the construction slot is being used the entire time.
