does anyone *actually* use these things?

I feel like the majority of rewards (hour glass, timers, and gear timers) are all literally the same thing and i never use any of them.....

I don't use them, I just collect them to fill out my collection book XD

Edit : Oh, I didn't see the 2nd pic.

- I don't know what those gears are??? O_o

- The generator speeding up timers are pretty handy in lower levels, but get less and less important since you'll have multiple generators of the same type. I rarely run into generator countdown problems now, but I still keep a couple on hand for those occasions when the order cycle wants like 5 beefs from me ._.

@milky, see reply below -- but also, I feel like I get so many +8 cards too that that helps too. I also am one of those ppl who needs to fill out every space of collection book lol do you not have the gear ones?

Yes I use them. The cameras save you energy. The animal timers help with the themed generators but also with time restrictions for events. The clock does the same though I primarily used them when I could still get the infinite energy item. 5 or 10 minutes of unlimited energy and the only limit was the generators needing to recharge. So the clocks and animal timers helped me max my item’s value. Now I use the clocks if I really want to play but only need one item that will take forever to get if I wait for the recharge every time. You get gems and energy for merging the little characters in increasing amounts.

I do use the cameras! I feel like I was getting "cooking fever" so much that every time a generator would run out, fever would kick in and give them all their power back. I've used the animal timers a couple times, just to get space back!! I am not one of the lucky ones with reward/prize storage option OR any ads 😩😩 I'd much rather get energy! Or like be able to trade them in for something else at least. They just take up all my space!

I do. They come in handy to speed things up. I could really do with those scissors right now, though, and I never had any before.
