Looking forward to this event - Kudos to the BB team!

Good question. Haven't had a chance to test an adventure yet with premium.

So does this mean our settlers will be eating zombie meat instead of venison?

I highly recommend you guys go to the test server and check out the new server event and provide feedback for them to change it.

It's rather silly right now the way it is if it goes live. It's another balloon event like disaster of wasted resources for little reward.

It's a shame because they spent all this effort coding up the golem in the island and the mechanics of destroying him - but people will end up not doing the event.

Question about the new storehouses: how similar in function are they to regular storehouses?
1) Will settlers take goods there?
2) Can it be the only storehouse in a sector? ie. if I demolish the regular storehouse in that sector, does everything disappear?

Thanks,

Qnyx

The improved warehouse providing x3 is a lie. It only does x3 at level 1. After level 1 each of the upgrades do not give you x3. Overall it's short of 2000 storage space at the max level.

Somebody over BB has terrible math when they were programming the upgrades.

A regular storehouse at level 5 holds 6k storage. These improved Warehouses only holding less than 2k doesn't seem logical if they go to level 5.

Can we have a solar flare turn all these zombies into rotting corpses? -- maybe have a pumpkin start growing out of them or a pile of bones decoration?

So at lvl 5 it's a bit shy of 2k... Why am I not suprised. They only think about "level 1" status and not the other levels. They really do need to learn to do the math and should also learn that all buildings in the game should be upgradeable to lvl 5 as well. They do not think about the value of increasing the goods if you increase the level on the building. The only building they did successful of was the frairie where they kept that correct per level.

With it being 2x3 instead of 3x2, only x3 storage increase at lvl 1 only, free license I'm wondering if this building is now worth it or not.

Seems to have been fixed on the test server. Storehouse is now really x3 compared to normal storehouse (level 1 = +300, level 2 = +1200, level 3 = +3000, etc.).

I hope they do bring it back. Need it fer my prison so I can entomb the real trouble makers.

Here's a thought, they could grant an extra pumpkin patch or two to people with a Dark Castle or Witch Tower on their island. Seems only logical...

How do you figure that is logical? It is unfair, some players do not wish those buildings on their island now because they are not the most population efficient.

No logic behind this.

It is not clear to me where the pumpkins can be found. I know of pumpkin fields, killing golem and on island. Where else? can you get them from advs? and if so which advs? anywhere else?

Pumpkins on the home island?
Halloween is a special time of year: Pumpkins will start to grow on your home island!
If you manage to spot a Pumpkin in your settlement, just click on it! Perhaps it will provide you additional Pumpkins (event resource).
---------------------
No one has seemed to find any yet, ppl on help tab are saying they dont exist....????
Are they just very slow growing?

LOL- You have to build pumpkin patches. You can find patches available for building by clicking on the gem menu and looking under Halloween event. GL!

Pumpkin patches last until they are out of pumpkins. Then they fade away until next year.

As I just posted earlier. When the pumpkins run out there are no more in the fields, nor can you add any.

So, I killed my first Golem this morning, but I never got a new Golem to kill..

When or how do they re-spawn so we can kill the next one?

I read every 2 days they respawn, we will have to wait and see.

Perhaps we have to reach 100% on the golem quest first?

this would have been a nice event if over half of the active people ever got more than 1 golem. we are cheated out of pumpkins and have resources made up to kill the golem, but no golem, and no word from anyone on a fix if there is one. You could at least tell us you have no idea what to do about this. Please don't just leave us hanging here.

I am now on my 3rd Golem. I don't know what that means as it seems like there is a bug fix now to try and fix the problems that others are experiencing on the matter.

So how many Golems are you suppose to fight? I think im on my 4th, its huge, the cost of resources majorly out weighs the gains in pumpkins. I mean to be honest, Easter had a ton of stuff, and many ways to get the eggs. Halloween the only way to really get pumpkins (in any quantity) is to kill Golems. My current one only gives me 50. I was pretty excited, but getting pretty lame. and the Semetarys ran out long ago.
