Unclickable baskets?

Not everyone wants to give you eggs therefore it's not broken.
You have to have 100 eggs to trade for 50 of the other color, if not the egg switch above the basket won't be there. Not broken.
If there are 4 eggs in the basket it is full and you can't put anymore in it. Not broken.
When you get 4 eggs in your basket and collect it, it's gone forever. Not a glich or broken just sucks!

It has nothing to do with that.

The baskets are broken.
It's amazing how different people's experiences can be with the same game. I would go as far as to say that 50% of the baskets I came in contact with in the past day have been this way.

You put a basket out and when a friend visits your town there is no icon to give you eggs.
That's why people are complaining about it being glitched or broken. They have no eggs in them and they are not able to receive eggs.
I currently have one like this. My fiance put out 4 baskets yesterday and 3 will not allow you to drop eggs (again even though there are no eggs in the basket) and as I said, roughly half the baskets I've seen are also like this - Empty with no icon to leave eggs. I've seen as many as 4 such baskets in a single town.


It sucks, but I'm just happy I didn't spend doughnuts on them.
I may even have a new issue too, as the latest basket I placed had an egg in it as soon as I put it out. I'm talking the exact moment, so I'm not sure a friend could have possibly done it.....I have to wait until someone gets home though to have them check if that one is busted, glitched, whatever, as well.

Really? I thought they were deleted. I asked it in other thread but nobody answers.
Good to know that!

They are not deleted, and I'm not convinced they need to be present, either.

Thanks! I haven't used my blue baskets because it's my common colour but now I'm going to use all of them so my neighbours will be able to get pink eggs.

I'm convinced they do need to be present. I've tested with several (10) feeders, and the result is always the same.

Town "A" has blue basket and 160 pink eggs.
Town "B" can only drop 300.
Town "A" can't collect the 300 (basket not full)

If Town "A" is dumb enough (don't ask) to spend some of the 160 eggs, it needs to build all the way back up to 200 pinks before it can receive the final 100 eggs from Town "B" so the 400 can be collected.

(Way to go, Town "A".)

Seriously, I swap a lot back and forth, and this is how it works. :(

Yup I can confirm it's a glitch too, I had enough of each colour eggs, 3 baskets, 2 unusable and 1 was half filled, visited my town on my sister's account and she could drop eggs into one of the baskets with the other 2 not being active. She had enough eggs too and all baskets were pink.

Anyone saying it's not a glitch is an idiot.

You're more than welcome to add me to try, just pm

Really? Huh! I never seemed to have issues getting my common-color baskets filled, so I thought it was no problem. Thanks for the info :)

But does Town A lose the pink eggs to collect the blue ones?

I have 1 pink and 1 blue basket that is broken.

My wife could not place any of either colour into them despite her having hundreds and tthe basket icon in the top right corner of the screen was not showing. I placed a few more of each colour and lo and behold she could place eggs in the new baskets and the basket icon appeared.

Visiting friends towns I can see a hell of a lot of dead baskets in peoples Springfields. Jusst hope no one haas paid doughnuts for them.

Anyone who is insiting there is no issue with baskets really needs to wake up and smell some coffee.

I've been pretty lucky with basket drops. I can't complain at all about that. Wish I was lucky with donuts.

I've purchased 2 with donuts (Not knowing what they were), and had almost 10 drop.

I've had 3 blue and 1 pink basket filled up.

I've had 3 pink and 1 blue basket get partially filled, then lose eggs.

I currently have 1 active blue basket, 2 active pink baskets, 4 confirmed dead pink baskets, 1 confirmed dead blue basket.

Over 500 Eggs of each type (Except golden). Have had over 1000 eggs of each type.

I was trying to give some eggs to my egg-buddy hubby and I could put eggs in one of his baskets but not in the other, although I plenty to give. We tried logging out and back in again, visitng someones else and coming back but nothing worked. The basket stayed resolutely empty.

Also I have now been 48 hours without find a bloody basket and I'm really passed off.

No! And that's the weird part of this system EA set up. I can't know what goes on in their pointy little heads, but I guess they want it to seem that we were willing and able to sacrifice the 200 eggs. Sounds downright anti-Capitalist to me. ;)
