-5 bl when i started out yesterday - i had to visit another persons island twice (and buff stuff) to have it reset to plus 3 where it should be

Some players have found that finding the all of the collectables on your island then refreshing has helped fix this issue. If you've tried that and your counter is still negative please send in a ticket to support.

I read this thread and then started gathering collectibles. I was missing my two extra building licenses. Due to the above posts on this thread, I wanted to try and get as many collectibles as possible, and then refresh to see if that restored the building licenses.
After I collected nine items I realized I had gotten one building licenses back. I thought I should write to this thread.
Then I noticed the second was back. I believe my experience confirms you get licenses back when you find collectible soccer balls. Here is my collection and when I noticed my two missing building licenses were back:
1. shoe 2. shoe 3. leather 4. corner 5. corner 6. banner 7. soccer ball 8. barrel 9. telescope
10. food cart 11. food cart 12. leather
At this point after collecting the above 9 items, I noticed I had gotten back one of my two missing building licenses
13. soccer ball 14. barrel
Now I noticed my second building license was restored.
So I assume based on what people wrote on this thread, that finding a soccer ball collectible restores one missing building license.
Having typed this, I will now see if I find a third soccer ball. If not, then two soccer ball collectibles were put on my island, and two building licenses were removed until I found those soccer balls … I found a soccer ball and immediately my building licenses went to three extra.
I thought I only had two licenses left. But now I have three. I refresh the game … It says I have three building licenses. Maybe I had three left originally. Regardless, I found 30 of 35 collectibles, including three soccer balls each of which gave me three building licenses.
As for the five I did not find, they are definitely not soccer balls. I always miss at least five. When other players kindly find collectibles for me that I miss, invariably they are scarecrows next to mountains or along border markings, or barrels which appear to be parts of buildings. I did not miss a fourth soccer ball.

I figured it out – I had an exhausted copper mine I deleted before gathering the above collectibles. Once I rebuilt it after posting the above, I was back to my original remaining two building licenses.

Here is my guess: The programmer handling generation of soccer balls grabbed something to let him quickly know how many soccer balls showed up in each test run. He tied them to building licenses. That way he just needed to check the building license decrease in each test run, rather than use a fairy buff and then search through the marked items to count the number of soccer balls.
And then he forgot to turn off his marker. So now we are told how many soccer balls are in the collectibles through our building license decrease, just like he was when he checked his programming of it.

We are aware of this issue and are currently working on a fix. Thanks to John-Axe, tpHCM and psaltery for finding some potential workarounds:

1. Visit another player's island to force a refresh of your island
2. Gather collectible soccer balls to free up a building license.

wish they'd either fix the problem of losing buildings or stop this event... all these bugs started when the event started...i just bought some gems a few days ago to get a lisence for 10 new building...i've lost 4 of them due to the bug issues..so i have to tear down upgraded building to replace my mines...when will this be fixed...tired of sinking gold and money into a broken game

how do you collect scarecrows

how do you collect scarecrows

Try double-clicking on them when you see them on your island. Just as you would any other collectible.
