... decided not to buy and wishing torches ... Don't know if I've just been super lucky, or if the torches are simply unnecessary thing to buy. Yes, the decorations are worth buying. They increase the amount of coins the monsters make, so they end up paying for themselves (and then make more). In this case, more and faster are the same thing. Decorations make you produce more coins per minute. This makes you collect coins faster.

The reason you don't see lots of decorations on other peoples islands is because of the combination of a [Storage Sructure] and the [Unity Tree]. The Unity tree makes the decorations help their monsters from anywhere on the Island, instead of having to be right next to them. The Storage Structure allows you to hide decorations out of sight (but still on the Island, so the Unity Tree works).

Yes, the torches are unnecessary. You CAN produce all the creatures without torches. Torches just make it easier. Breeding without torches is like trying to flatten a hill with a spoon. You Can flatten the hill with the spoon. Adding a few torches would be like having a shovel instead of a spoon. Having all 10 per island would be like having a bulldozer to flatten the hill... You Can flatten the hill with the spoon, but if you can use a bulldozer instead?
