What's the production time of the new Bio Farm?
Event lasts only 2 weeks? But calendar has 21 doors. Something doesn't match.
The Bio Farm was interesting, but if you can only get 1 per event (or 4 if you have the gems) and it cannot be traded, so it is quite useless.
They only make sense if you have at least 9 of them. And I could buy them in advance hoping they show up next event, but if they only show up at Halloween, it will take forever. It is a bit disappointing as I was looking forward to this building.

they lost it, and plenty of "new" stuff they introduce will be bugged for years. like cultural stuff on activation makes all explos or geos return @once, so if you have sent them in order to find depos in orderly manner all the timing is wasted. lol.
and ofc. no answers on questions why stuff is not working as described.
overall, not happy settler for some time.

Production time is 10 mins plus walk time, half the speed of a farm from build menu.
Production time is 10 mins plus walk time, half the speed of a farm from build menu.
Normal farm from the build menu has 12min production time.
So not even close to Improved Farm with 4min production time.
Bio farm at 10 mins? Moving forward I'd have hoped they could replace farms/silos to create space but not with that production time.
just a joke happy hour for event you want money do more 25% is a joke
last week 100 % nouw 25% joke
You can save space with the bio farm, just not with 1-4 per event and not being tradable.
Is the end date for phase 1 a typo or is Halloween event really only 2 weeks instead of 3 this year? How do a 21 door calendar and 20 golems work, if so?!

what's the point of asking for feedback if no one reads it??? You messed up as this is a 3 week event but someone who doesn't understand the game has decided we can do this in 2 weeks lol. How do you propose that we open the last 7 day calendar windows?

(looks like they shorted the time for golems to respawn, edited, my wrong), no, it was 16h in past, just most working folks did destroy about 1 a day, so if you like will wake up overnight to tend to the game in theory is doable. Way to lose players down to near 0. Calendar, well, they are some thinkers. Whatever, prob. needed to shorten events in order to have time for those guild competitions everyone was asking for. 100 players per server instance, 1 guild can compete with itself.

And our C&P kings did change tree color as reward for Darkhood to purple, but forgot to change the limits in merchant. One can buy another 2 purple, but only 1 red. Mistakes over mistakes bugs over bugs.
Edit:
And me wonders, what buff longboat storehouse produces for 1500 pump upgrade.
Description says buff, dev diary says nada, nothing specific, just that it adds resources (how much?).

Ok so the dev diary dates have been changed to 3 weeks of active event but the event pop up currently says 11 days 23 hours left.
I keep trying to keep my guild updated with accurate information but you are not making it easy, BB...
3 purple trees to 1 red tree, any lone red tree upgraders can only add 1 this year. I guess nothing can be done about this now.
Happy with the new upgrades to older buildings, this event it's the longboat warehouse. (doesn't say what increase the upgrade gives in upgrade description). it's actually 40k storage per upgrade so 120k in the end.
Also noticed certain items being removed like lanterns & scared explorers. 1 each of these can be got from a bundle but overall new players can't benefit from previous amounts.

Kid, its only 10k per upgrade on longboat, so 20k extra total, but pumpkin mansion has 2 upgrades that add 160 pop each.
Edit: and BB plays ostrich again. lol.
Edit2: and even they corrected the dates in dev diary from 14+7 to 21+7, have a look under.
Chest bundle, you can buy 1 for pumps and 3x for gems.
Resolute: available 4x as part of chest bundle
but
Mummy&Scared: available 3x as part of chest bundle. ;)
Some buildings as well, they did miss they sell other bag/box bundles as 1+3.
Basic proof reading???

BB, ofc, started bad Friday evening, Saturday same, servers not responding, on click on play after first page loads (if you happy and pass thru auth. server), game loads some Maintenance page with top saying die siedlers online and some texts windows that are empty, same when it kicks you out with general error message or connection lost message. So very poor performance.

please - bring the explorer multi/mass sending option with/before the next event -- it is very grinding to click 4 times and +200 explorers

Max, why do you need mass send, if game is not working? me wonders how they will sort out all those pump. losses, I kept 10s of thousands to spend on Sunday, plus filled fields that are unbuffed for days now, not even thinking about the rest of island, PFB expired and such.
So I keep saying, dont add ANYTHING new till you sort the game, BB.

Finally back in after 3 days connection errors - got 66k pumpkins & the merchant is borked. Now if only BB could extend the last phase of the event to allow players to offload their pumps for rewards it would not be leaving such a bad taste.
As it is stands, I think that's enough for me.

Why don't you make events end on a Tuesday. That would have at least taken the sting out of not being able to log in for 3 days. I had 80k pumpkins which is such a waste.

I think they used to do this a long time ago, good suggestion! would have saved us a bit of troubles for halloween 24 event.

Exactly this! We have been discussing the same thing in guild. Last year's Halloween event the same thing happened... BB should really be learning from this!!
