  • Yeah, they stated in the change log that animals "don't want to be in towers" (paraphrasing).

  • I have a piggy farm in my tower. I wasted all those credits for the floors, walls and ceiling to create a piggy farm. I want my piggies happy again.

  • This does seem kind of pointlessly random. Maybe it's to prepare for an upgrade card or something that lets you keep animals in towers?

  • I hope.

  • I'd like that idea, it would be nice to keep my animals elsewhere.

  • Piggies need sunshine.

  • +1 no obvious reason someone can't make their tower a "barn"

  • If piggies need sunshine, then perhaps towers could have windows?

    Why did they change that?

  • I have to agree with our devs, piggies/chickens/butterflies inside towers seems sad, therefore(!)
    I propose we get a barn ~with functional doors which we can open and shut at will, so we can
    choose to leave our animals inside the barn, or let them roam outside, in the sunshine! =)

  •  I bet if you asked for a credit refund based on your reasons for buying those items no longer being valid, you'd get one.  

    But I get the feeling they never intended that space to be able to expand our animal storage and consider it a "bug" that they "fixed."

  • It doesn't cost any credits to build a tower. Just imagination to put one in your yard plus currants (and time) to gather the building materials.

  • i kinda like that the animals are unhappy as i have what looks like an underground animal testing center lol

    *edit*

    btw I love animals and this in no way represents who i am in rl. :) i just think its funny!

  • He wasted credits specifically picking out a floor, wall, and ceiling to go with a pig barn.   Hence why I think he might have a fair case to ask for a refund for those items.

  • Oh, OK, now I see your point. People can indeed spend credits to decorate towers if they choose credit-based patterns rather than free ones.

    I was just concerned that people might get the idea that building a tower was what cost the OP credits.

  • The reason animals get sad in towers is because they are semi-public/semi-private spaces … and history has shown that any place which can have animals in Glitch soon will be coated with a uniform spread of piggies, butterflies and chickens.

    Not everyone likes there to be animals in covering every available space (sometimes because it get a bit boring to see the same thing everywhere, sometimes because they interfere with other actions and sometimes for performance reasons).

    So, once we build a way for the owner to decide whether or not to allow animals, we can start allowing animals (though it would be off by default). That way, people who don't want animals inside their towers won't have to come back to towers filled with animals … and people who do want 'em can have 'em.

    Separate from this one issue, it is exciting to imagine future iterations of towers where each floor can be entirely it's own environment — so, an outdoor floor (complete with cultivation) sandwiched between a trophy room and a building materials store.

  • I am unreasonably excited by that last paragraph, Stoot. OMGiants!

  • Okay that reasoning I can totally get behind. Makes complete sense.

  • squee....then we can have firepoles to change floors, waterslides to escape from upper floors... :-)

  • Stoot - all well and good, but I hope you still intend to expand Ur in new ways.

  • Awesome idea Stoot, just finished decorating my tower Rooftop Garden, I can pretend its on the top of the tower, right!

  • Will allowing critters be toggle-able per floor? Because I want piggies in my tower for one reason and one reason only.

    I also need a rotating top floor. With a viewing balcony. And a second b0tler (that I may or may not name Max Quordlepleen).

    Because when you've done six impossible things, you've GOTTA top it off with breakfast at Milliways, the restaurant at the end of my street! (Would you like to meet the meat?)

  • Jennyanydots, you are my new favourite. And I would LOVE to meet the meat. My friend, however, is vegetarian, so could you bring us a talking cauliflower? :D
