Restaurant Holiday Items Being Removed January 20th

[greygull]

Okay guys I got word that holiday items that were added to the games from Dec 2 to Dec 30th will be removed on January 13th.
(edit Jan 20th) I have started a list. Please let me know if you think I missed something.

If you have purchased any item that is on this list, you will keep it, just be unable to purchase more. Example: You purchased a Holiday Drink Machine - you will keep it, and continue to cook the recipes, but after the 13th, you will not be able to buy another one.

Goals will be removed - if you have unlocked a recipe by completing a goal, it will remain Edit - see posts below regarding New Year's Goals Goals have been extended to February 9th

Morning Cheer
Any recipe you did not unlock by the goals

Appliances:

I'm finding out if the new wallpapers and floor tiles (released Dec 30th) are considered part of the New Year's theme, or will remain. Edit - looks like they will be (just added them to the list). I'm going to buy a bunch of them before they go ;)

Please note: Items that you have already purchased and have out or in storage, you will be able to keep.
Only the option to buy "new" will be removed.

Items you received after mastering goals, you will be able to keep.

Appliances you have bought and built you will be able to keep.

unlocked receipes you will be able to continue to master as long as you unlocked the receipes by finishing the goal, and have bought and built the appliance for that receipe

GOALS HAVE BEEN EXTENED TO FEBRUARY 9th

[bawpotter]

Thanks, GG.

SO PEOPLE!!! Work on the Christmas goals, not New Year's.

[greygull]

I'm double checking on the goals.

I think (me personally only here) that the New Year's goals may also be removed, based on the announcement.

[greygull]

On the New Year's goals - they will be removed at some point. Right now they are scheduled to be part of the January 13 removal, but they may be delayed on being removed. I'll update here when I have more info.

[bawpotter]

Oh... bummer. Thanks for the info though.

[bigbux3]

Sometimes its like what's really the point of releasing them if they're gonna be gone soon. I wish I had gotten some of last years items, now I'm going without.

[maryindigo]

I'm new to purchasing holiday items and wanted to know if I put any of these items in storage like the holiday bear and holiday drink machine will I be able to get them out after the January 13 deadline?

[ultrafrog]

Actually what's the point of releasing "New Year's content" a day before the 1st and needs several days to complete unless you use gems to bypass.

Tiles shouldn't be removed as seasonal either.. They look nice for regular restaurant use.

[ultrafrog]

You should still be able to place any holiday appliances that you have completed and cook associated recipes with them.

What you will not be able to do is build new ones. Any decoration you have purchased remains. You won't lose anything except ability to purchase more.

[MaddieMay33]

As for recipes that were NOT unlocked, I only know of Morning Cheer. I think all of the others were unlocked by goals. If anyone knows of any other recipes that will be removed, please let us know. Thanks.

[emeraldocean]

I really think that the new tiles and wallpaper (not the seasonal holiday ones, the ones that were called "black pattern" and "gold" etc) are regular enough for them to stay. People might want to use the black/yellow combination as a good theme.

I agree...these don't look "seasonal" at all.

[Shamrock1963]

They certainly ought to stay, but until we get official word that they will, I wouldn't count on it.

[Shamrock1963]

Just make sure you don't accidentally sell them instead of placing them into storage.

[keviPad]

Correct. Morning Cheer (snowman pancakes) was the only true 'holiday recipe'.

The rest are unlocked by goals/quests or buildable appliance recipes.

[bobbyrae]

What about the baked pears? Are these seasonal too? Does anyone remember when that was released?
Was meat pie a goal recipe?

Fruit cake & stuffing were both goals, but they are on regular ovens. Will they remain in the game?

[Shamrock1963]

I'm on Android so I never got Goals, but I did get both the baked pears and the meat pie recipes, so they aren't Goal recipes. I can't remember when either one was released, but I knew it was fairly recently, so I mastered both of them just in case.

[gott99]

Those unlocked recipes, I wonder how long they will stay...?

[ultrafrog]

I believe that unlocked recipes from goals and recipes from holiday appliances will stay. You just won't be able to purchase new holiday appliances or get rewards from goals after they are removed.

[TimeForACuppaTea]

What about the baked pears? Are these seasonal too? Does anyone remember when that was released?
Was meat pie a goal recipe?

I was thinking the same thing. I don't remember anymore what was a goal recipe and what wasn't anymore. But I'm pretty sure I got the Baked pears before I got goals.

I just went back to re-read old threads about the goals. And saw that the Apple Cider, Holiday ham, Fruit cake and stuffing were all goal prizes and should not be removed. I don't see pears or meat pie listed so I'm going to work on mastering those.

According to what I've read any recipe or item received from a goal should stay permanently. As in forever. But who know if that's really true. With as many changes Team Lava keeps making I'll believe it when I see it.

[shelleykk]

Will the turkey sandwich be removed? It does seem christmas orientated but how on earth could we master it in such a short time? And the baseball cookies? They don't seem to have anything to do with christmas but they were released at the same time? Any ideas?

These arent seasonal items. They stay.

[shelleykk]

These arent seasonal items. They stay.

But isn't a turkey sandwich for Xmas leftover turkey? I hope they stay anyway. Everyone has been really helpful but it would be good if team lava posted a list.

Actually, if you read the first post, it lists the items that will be removed Jan. 13. Its updates from December 2- December 30. This stuff stays.

[333sandy]

They mentioned earlier on another thread that the gal recipes will eventually be removed but at a later date, giving us a little longer to master them.

[robynznest]

That list is very helpful. Thank you for posting it! I do wish they would make it more obviously within gameplay, however. I keep forgetting what's on the list because I started playing the game after the holiday items were added, so I don't remember what is new versus what has always been around.

[bobbyrae]

Does anyone remember when we got the pears and meat pie? Was it before Dec 2?

[pastrychef17]

I believe so because they came out around or before Thanksgiving when TL was doing the Renaissance theme and everyone was looking for a Thanksgiving theme.

Ok great. I on't have to master those as yet. Phew! :)

[hihiivy247]

If that isn't how the constructibles work and they drop the Sushi Counter on Jan 13, then I'll be in serious hurt.

sushi counter is not a holiday appliance, I think you are safe on that one.

[Shamrock1963]

Thanks, Kooky. Let's hope so.

[moratorro]

good question, and I am trying to get an answer for this. Anyway I'm going to purchase three holiday appliances (one of each kind) on the 12 of January, and keep them on the floor: after a couple of days we'll know if they are still there...

[pastrychef17]

Do we know yet if any other recipes will be released to those seasonal appliances? Seems kind of silly to build a machine or multiples of the same machine if it's only ever going to have just 1 recipe. Once you master that recipe, is the machine rendered useless for the rest of the game? Or, if they do release more new recipes for it, will we have the ability to purchase more machines later on? And are they planning on making them available for Android players? Did someone at TL think through all these aspects of the seasonal machines?

[Shamrock1963]

Did someone at TL think through all these aspects of the seasonal machines?

probably not

[adorablechic]

even if we purchased the item and we decide to put it away and replace with something else, would that be taken away also ?

[Shamrock1963]

Decorations and completed constructibles that are placed in your inventory are not going to be taken away. So long as you don't sell them, you should be able to place them back in your restaurant at a later date. However, you will be unable to purchase any more.

I know...i built only about 8 holiday drink machines, 8 turducken fryers and 8 chestnut roasters and have mastered the chestnut and turducken. I'm now working on the 2 drink machine recipes and should be dne with those soon. Same with candy cane and marzipan. Finished those very quickly.
Maybe they will come out with recipes for valentine? Lol...Roasted hearts for the chestnut roaster and valentine's day chickduckey for the turducken fryer :p

[Shamrock1963]

Rub it in, why don't you? ;)

[rubine]

We habe payed a lot for these Items, why can't we store them till next christmas?

[Shamrock1963]

You can. Any items that you have bought and paid for can be stored in your inventory for display at a later date.

[chocohk]

can we get an extension?? how on earth can i finish 40 pumpkin pies and 20 choc tarts! not to mention half built drink machines, zero root beer floats :(

bought the holiday one instead of regular!! sillyme

[hihiivy247]

I don't see Turducken Fryer and Chestnut Roaster. Is it only on iphones?

[nmishii]

The turducken fryer and chestnut roaster is available for iPhones, iPads, and iPods. They recently reordered some of the items, so the appliances may be somewhere in the middle of the appliance list.

[Shamrock1963]

However, they are not available for Android and never will be.

[ariesblu]

However, they are not available for Android and never will be.
Which sucks. :(

Please not now, i am only got 4 more steps till i get the cucu clock.

Yes. New Year goals will be removed on Jan 20.

Get the Clock! You will kick yourself if you don't. You could leave it up year round. My grandmother does at her house...lol

[ddenise]

oh this is great! will still be able to make some christmas recipes:)

[ksbmommy]

Get the clock. I love the clock. It was my favorite of everything.

[duckieduckduck]

Oh, that's good new!

Will the black pattern & gold wallpaper, baseball chair etc. remove on Jan 20 too?

If they will stay forever, I will try to buy the chocolate fountain,
If they will remove too, I will stock up those thing coz i think they are quite cute.

[chocohk]

yay! Woke up felt stress not able to unlock any seasonal recipes and saw that!

Horray for TL!!!!

thx for listeningg

[lilobrat05]

Glad they extended it but it wld be really nice if we knew exactly which items were being removed! If they cld put a little limited note on the items that wld be great and easier than supplying list for each game. Plz TL can u mark the items being removed in each game within the games????? Everyone will love you guys for it!!!!!!

And if you don't get it, the gems you save will probably be lost in some bad gem trap...

Don't know about the black pattern and gold wallpaper. The sports theme items were January updates and are not scheduled for removal on the 20th.

Are you sure you can't complete the Goal without wasting your gems to skip it? I can't tell how hard it would be because I'm an Android player and don't have Goals. :(

Please let the black pattern wallpaper stay a little longer
They are pretty but very expensive, need to save up.

making root beer floats finally! still along way to go lol

does sushi counter stay or it is seasonal if not built?

Sushi counter is not seasonal. It was first released in Sept to iOS, and then in Dec to Android.

I hope it stays too. I like that wallpaper very much, and I'm not yet at maximum expansion, so if they remove it on Jan 20, I'll always be a few pieces short. :(

[korkey541]

Quick question before this goal disappears. The goal name is Resolution: Delicious. You have to visit 10th community members, have 1 holiday jukebox, and serve 30 cupcakes. Done all except cupcakes, I can't find them in RS. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Feeling pretty dumb, but I can't find those cupcakes!

[ultrafrog]

Cupcakes should be in the oven

If you're a few pieces short... divide your restaurant into sections and use that wallpaper for one of the sections. :3.

By "firm" what greygull means is as official as we're getting without going out and kidnapping a staff member (said very, very, very jokingly) to get a more official response or sending off kooky or other moderator as community representative (ambassador kooky panda does have a ring to it...). :p. Or maybe it's just me who finds that the "unofficial" holiday list is stupid considering it's unofficial and so very, very late and basically a repeat of what kooky has been saying since the beginning of January...

[pika4ever88]

It makes me wonder how much "standing in line" our ambassadors do. *Throws the ambassadors fold up chairs to sit on while waiting in line.* :3. Cause we get an (incomplete) announcement from a staff member and the community turns around and asks 20 questions... :>. And rarely do we get a firm answer back in (speculation) threads agreeing or correcting the post. :3.

[chocohk]

why are they taking all those lovely recipes away from us???

morning cheer, red velvet cookies and trifle cake!@

I mean we still have valentine cupcakes now from last yr grrrr not happy!

But grateful they extend the goals

I know. I've done the section bit. But I want to have the option of completely papering the walls in my favorite wallpaper. And given that the wallpaper is neither holiday related or even wintery, I don't understand why it has to go. :(

Aw. Then start being firm with your gold and saving to buy the biggest expansion so you won't be in this predicament next time. Rawr. >3.

Though personally, I like looking at sectional bakeries (even if not divided into sections if you look at the wallpaper) since I find them more fun and creative to see various "themes" pulled together. :3. My sister's latest idea (when she's high enough and has the gold though) is to put farm into sections so it feels like you're visiting different "countries." :>.

Easier said than done! I just bought another expansion and still have 6.5 million coins worth of expansions to purchase!

Besides, for some people, even if they had the gold, they aren't high enough level. I've been playing Farm Story for more than half a year and STILL haven't gotten high enough level to purchase the last expansion. Which would have helped in mastering those blasted Snowdrops and White Poinsettias!
