cloud rows/pets and tree auto-harvester

I know variations of this have been asked before, but I just want to make sure I am correctly understanding how this works.

My understanding is that cloud rows and pets do work for trees (those that apply to trees, of course) being auto-harvested (the premium function, that is), but because most of these have a duration that is much shorter (sometimes very, very short) than the maturation time for trees, timing them together can be an issue. The booster must be active before it is time to harvest the trees, and still be active when it is time to harvest AND when you log back in to reap the harvest. This is because the items are actually harvested when you log in. If the harvest is "ripe", there is no chance to activate the pet or cloud row prior to the harvest. It must be activated before. Similarly, if you log in after the buff is expired, then it won't retroactively apply because the harvest is only reaped when you log in, not when matured. While the harvests are collected retroactively (stacked if more than one day), there is no provision to go back and check to see if any buffs were active when the harvest came to fruition.

Is this all correct?

Another issue is about EP and stacking. Some have reported that if you wait until 2-3 harvests to log in (boring, but anyway), then the EP boost will be applied to all 2-3 harvests. Others have said that it only applies to the last harvest. And.. it looks as if this is something that might have changed fairly recently, so that prior answers are no longer correct. (this may explain the discrepancy in understanding?)

And no, this is not in the FAQs we can access currently. (if it is, it needs easier access since several of us have tried and failed to find this information)

Thank you for your time and attention. I realize it can be frustrating at times to have the same issues come up over and over, but this issue is confusing to a lot of otherwise well-versed, long time posters. (not including myself in that group... lol)

 

Hello woody,

This issue has been brought up to the Game Team a few weeks ago, and we are waiting for clear clarification from the game design team on this matter. As soon as we have a 100% sure confirmation about how this feature is supposed to work with all the buffs (EP boosters - pets, crafts, rows, Pineapple cake for additional harvest, etc). I have bumped this issue now and requested an update if possible, to avoid giving out misleading information. I appreciate your patience during this process and I apologise for any further delay.

As for the pets and short time buffs - the best thing to do is turn off the auto-harvester from the Premium villa, then go quickly through all the fields to harvest the pets, and then re-activate the auto-harvest and go through the fields to have the buff applying - to how many harvests? We will let you know as soon as we have any information .

Thank you for the clarification. I know I am not the only one awaiting a final answer, whenever it comes.
