Early thoughts on the time travel event?
This event started with a lot to process. So far it seems pretty good, but also the standard event formula (which seems to have taken the place of level updates). I do like the digging aspect, which...

So far not bad.
What I like:
- The digging. The idea that, with a little luck you can hit the right spots, use fewer shovels, and get further ahead is a fun new wrinkle to the process.
- The plants. They might be prehistoric but there should be no problem fitting most of that stuff into Springfield.
- The music. I always like the music they take from the corresponding episodes. I expect the music will change when we get to Egypt and then the pirate finale.
- The hardware store and Springsonian museum. Two great buildings from the show that fit well in our towns and they're free. Wooo! High five!
What I don't like:
- Most of the time travel content I'm seeing. I'm not a fan "out of place" decor for my town. You know, like lava machines, an endless amount of castles, or almost anything from the sci-fi event etc. etc. (exception: the Darwin fish NPC - I always loved that thing. Can't wait to get it).
- The endless list of panini press upgrades. It seems unnecessary. Also, can anyone tell me what the "excavation site upgrade" is? I haven't gotten there yet.
- Cecil's 1hr task doesn't have an assigned building.*
*(Yes, that has nothing to do with the event but it still bugs the hell out of me.)
