Funnily enough, we were talking today about ways we do things that we are still doing as if we are still operating out of X's home office. Organisational tradition has a lot to answer for! ...And what really works and what doesn't. I suspect S8 is so crushed w deadlines and thinking to the next thing they don't take enough time to think through larger strategies on many levels. They are a heck of a lot more profitable that our under ?100k a year turnover charity, it it seems that when reasonable reasons don't fit, it makes sense to look for innocently stupid ones. : D
Yup, love the chance to get another faerie and that so-cute butterfly. Nope, can't think of a good reason to keep the chests. I appreciate the neighbour (un)reliability thing is gone, but to transfer that to energy expenditure seems kinda strategically dumb (what are they trying to achieve with it and how are they including unintentional consequences in their debriefs on strategy?) without thinking it through enough. : )
Edit add: I figure it costs me about 80 energy a day for the one chest for the monster fighting. Although I can get it through regular play if I spread out spring bloom chopping, I have found that front loading the adventures settles the matter of the top prize critter early on (haven't gotten one yet, better to crush my hopes and dreams up front so I can focus on positives rather than a what if) : ) and any bottleneck items can be quickly used. I have already chopped all the spring blooms I need, have enough blue butterflies, have collected enough for 7 adventures, and that's my lot. 80 a day extra for chests is not trivial for me and it doesn't fit w my other overall strategies. I have a few alternatives in mind, e.g. only do farmhouses and cows in my evening that will keep it down, but still, not ideal. : )
