very nice you put it again in description to tree same as last year, but I bet, it still doesnt work like that, same as no answer to other building (art museum), why the salt and coal are not included in buffs for higher depo size.
Hope new buildings have buggs in them from start as well, let the bug hunting fun begin.

Art museum, art of war exhibit, buff cost: 500x Manuscript 20000x Sausage 150x Barrel 50x Banner, is this a typo?

Also, Holi Festival Grounds size: 7x7, is this also a typo?

Did you fix the egg tree bug?

[Kotugo]

What a joke the art museum is, a big reminder to show whoever is running things these days has absolutely no clue what they are doing.

Dunno why u guys bother rehashing all the arguments from last year- It is obvious that if they wanted to change these ridiculous things, they woul dhave done so by now, instead they move on and "design" the next hugely popular building (to not use unless u want a new decorations)

and yes the cost for the 3th buff in the art museum is the biggest howler in the game 500 manuscripts as if you make that back through the buffed benefit in some way shape or form

whoever is running things these days has absolutely no clue what they are doing.

they do have a clue what theyre doing, its just that you dont get what their goal is :)

its been evident for at least 10 years now that this is not a strategic game (even though it might look like one, considering the Settlers franchise), instead its just a primitive magnet for people that enjoy looking at flash animations and perhaps use their brain little enough that are willing to pay for them.

Absolutely nothing in this game is logically consistant, nothing is balanced number-wise, which is what you would expect being a strategy game player. Instead everything has some flavour text attached, a little bit of story told, and a resource cost that makes sense from a storytelling perspective, even if it makes absolutely no sense from a strategic standpoint.

This game doesnt have, and has never had, any implementation of a concept of value, because if it were to have, it would require waay too much resources to think about it and balance it right for management to ever agree to it (considering how little money this game has a shot at earning).

I have corrected my mistake in the dev diary:

- Fluffy Butte Explorer and Miraculous General are only available 1x for eggs (not 3x for gems).

Sorry about that!

What's the situation with Misty Cake adventure?
Not included in Dev Diary list but showing as bonus adv on Wiki.
iirc, it was removed from other events for resource loot as adv is still as dodgy as a 9 bob note.

[Qualan]

it was last year as well AFAIK

[ambandil]

The adventure has a x2 bonus associated with it, i got 300 obsidian rewards

So even though it is not listed, it has x2 loots compared to the normal table

[MuffinMule]

The "wiki" you mentioned is not affiliated with us in any way. We do not control or take responsibility for what is published there.

Still doesn't answer the question, in a previous event/events, BB disabled event loot for Misty Cake as it was so unreliable.
Not seen any posts updating this, from either official! or "unsupported" sources.
So, does Misty Cake have eggs in the loot or not?
ambandil's post above supports the info given by the online wiki, asdoes anecdotal evidence in chat, it would appear that loot table for Misty Cake is carrying the x2 bonus as per other "seasonal adventures", but if it's not flagged to produce eggs in that loot then it's not worth wasting resources finding out.

[ambandil]

it produces eggs and it has been reabled and there was a bb post regarding that - but it might be burried in some changelog

[Urd123]

this years event seem to be either - we pick some stuff at random and put it in calendar and boxes- or they decided not to fix shady dealings and put it in event merchant instead.
Who besides newbies- and there is not very many of those around, needs mma- and veteran gen?
only object of interest for most of us in the colorful box at 12,5 eggs is the motherly explorer, it is a bit expensive to pay that for one explorer. BB seems to have mislaid the PFBs and the premium days this year. No motivation to get this box for me.

All new or only a year or so old objects in this event is useless buildings- too expensive to run, might have a decorative purpose if you have room. The devs does not seem to know that people have limited space on icelands.

The fish caretake- might have been a nice idea, but one - it is way too big, why not make it the same size as the ranger watchtower, next problem with it is that the caretaker only fills fish to the amount that was in from the beginning, if nearby pond is full- he wanders all over island to fill, so besides decoration- it is another useless building.

I like events, I like to have something to do, but I dont have a lot of motivation for collecting eggs, when I dont have anything to collect for.

Shady dealings moved into the event merchant or BB is having a garage - cant call it sale, as it is not cheap.

[First_Lord]

another stuff, candy factory buffs increase intake, not mentioned in dev diary so the output is x4 but for higher cost, and holi crab grounds, are only x3 buff + 200% (x6 on PFB) on small area 7x7 (hits 4 buildings or a bit more if you play a lot), not like advertised, so waste of eggs (8h buff duration 7d cooldown).

Edit: defo waste for gems,
some 4 pieros bowl of pasta once a long period equal it, if you use zombie or snack, you are better off than spending on this building.

The last Easter quest started for me at midnight today, and its a different one that i need to complete the Easter chain achievements?
I need "The Lost Eggs" quest, but just got "The Easter Bunny's Assistant" again.
