Update on these:
1) The Flower Tower's revamped appearance will carry over to its original appliance after this goal ends.
2) There won't be an in-game announcement for either of these instances, but the team may put one out in future instances if multiple items are changed.
Alsoooooo.... there exists the possibility that similar fixes could be applied for other 'affected' recipes. Standard disclaimer: there's no guarantee how many will be reviewed/revamped (depending on available artwork, time-to-fix, and other constraints), but please do make a list (in a separate thread - no derailing this thread folks!) of recipes you would like to see revisited like this Flower Tower
