Mia (in another thread) spawned an idea while discussing the cost of organic and stretching gold. How would fairies feel about new wildlife being introduced that drops organic food on empty plates when spotted? Following the same guidelines as bamboo or cake after a given number of spotted wildlife a bird would drop bird seed with other critters doing the same for veges and tropical fruits. I suppose that current critters could be used, but new ones sound more exciting. It would promote visitors and hunting. The gold spent on sprinkles is still being spent but it would promote game play instead of just spending the gold out right. Players on limited funds could use their 50 free sprinkles to glean organic food which I think would help them out as well. Thoughts?

How would that work?  If it was every single wildlife spotted drops food, then all gardens attracting it would be crazy-busy.  If it's every 5th (like cake) then you'd spend all your free sprinkles and more trying to get the quota you need while competing against everyone else, just for organic food which would likely end up costing much less if you just bought it. 

Ok, good points…how about must spot five?…either new critters or a weekly rotation of existing creatures. As it is our organic plates such as bamboo and cake are dropped by various creatures. I don’t even come close to using 50 sprinkles for cake. In fact I miss tons of free cake for not having an empty plate out.

I would support any feature that made organic food available through 'in game' mechanisms, so that it was used more widely to spread pace and momentum in the game more evenly.

Perhaps the critter that dropped organic food could change every week to give a bit of ongoing variety to the game. That way it would suit some existing set-ups and others keen on earning some diamonds could set-up specifically or it.

Nice idea! Rotating critters would be fun..maybe 2 or 3 each month drop organic at 5 and not tell us what they are only what section like the vases? Now that would light up the gardens!

I'm all for these ideas, and a set of new critters.

Thanks for your idea, Miss. If your suggestion became reality, it would undoubtedly be helpful to those who have very little opportunity to advance because they can't afford to buy gold.  In my opinion, the game would become more interesting as well.
