Iono....bad yes, Dracul bad, not sure yet.This new specialist is the worst one ever offered in my time in TSO.
I also preferred the initial version, a fast iron deposit is worth more than another sorta generic Geo.
I am happy with the Seasonal Adventures selection
I am glad to see the Easter Basket available again as Achievement building
I think the Iron-Willed Geologist is useful
I am happy with the current design and function of the Spring Park
Overall, I am satisfied with the Easter Event

People were complaining that you have to click a lot and waste time to find 20 iron deposits. New geo helps with that..
I like Dracul. Use him all the time. I also don't have any use for fast iron mines and find ones that last longer helpful, although I also don't use a lot of iron to the point where it really matters that much one way or the other.
I'm thinking the new Iron Geo is going to work well for me.
I only build mines on the bigger iron deposits, 550 on the main island, 800 on the Arch. I do the ones on the main island in a 3 day rotation, 2 1st day, 2 2nd day, 3 3rd day, with the mines on the Arch weaving in and out of there. I leave them at level 1, so I'm only building 2 or 3 mines per morning on the main island, with the Arch mines added in every 4th day or so.
With the new Geo all those deposits will be doubled, so I can take all those mines up to level 2, which means twice as much ore in the same amount of time (in other words, faster) and I'll still be able to maintain the exact same routine that I've been using for years now. The old version that found deposits of the same size but depleted them at a faster speed wasn't anything I was interested in because it would mess with my building routine/maintenance.
Each to their own, but I like the new version better and am happy we can get 2 of them. I wouldn't have bothered with the old version geo at all.

I guess I am losing my mind. You all enjoy that near-worthless geo...
Does anyone realize that his '...finding Iron Deposits in half the time...' means that only makes him a Jolly Geologist when it comes to Iron Mines?! LOL! He is a wino geologist (Slow/From the Tavern) for all other deposit searches! So.... essentially all you get is a Tavern Geo who searches Iron Deposits (only) at Jolly speed, and Iron mines that are larger?! Wow. I thought it would be at least a Jolly equivalent, and half-time for iron deposits from there (15m)....
...And this is better, or more balanced for all players in what way over having mines that can be mined faster???
Well, at least his avatar has a more constipated look than the other geo's!

Uh, say what??
MoD works rather well in many situations as a blocker! Only skills he gets is 1st aid, jog and travel so he can open many adventures until the winos arrive. Drak works well when skilled as a tag and sac specialist. These are units that are very useful on most adventures I run.... Unlike this POS constipated geologist..... claims he searches twice as fast... sadly he is a slow one to begin with, so essentially any jolly could do the job. Having 2x geos that find slightly larger deposits out of 16-20 depending on your style, is very under-whelming.

Sad to see how the specialist came into test semi-valuable, then got downgraded to nothing more than a pseudo-tavern geologist that only really has one (1) basic improvement (larger iron deposits) since his search time is based upon a tavern specialist, he is less useful for geologist duties than the never-ending stalls of Jolly Geologists, which can search at 2x speed all manner of deposits, including the many new ones (granite, salt, titanium, gold and etc). Sad.
