Friendly Invaders - Strategy

How to confuse a very tired and overworked farmer!

I have just finished a long working weekend. I hadn't noticed that we would be getting random coloured animals in exchange for our alien snails! When I read your post, I ran (well stumbled blindly) to the FAQs - twice (to double check I hadn't missed something)! I wanted pink animals too! Shame the exchanges don't quite get to that level! Naughty Nellie getting me all excited with anticipation!

Finished on all three farms and hardly any extra coloured snails.

 

Sorry Illy ((((((hugs))))

Don't think the Golden Donkey is even on that random list for the left over snails and if it was ...i probably wouldn't get it ...my luck in Farmerama hasn't been that great over the years lol
So I don't expect anything really that good from any of these stables...
I don't mind ..they all help in restocking

BUT Was Most surprised i got a pink monkey from one of the football event stables this morning ..had to look twice and even 3 times to believe it ...that and a pink mouse i got this year from another event ...have been the best i have ever had for years of playing

OMG 3 farms well done ...i just about manage one in an event with RL lol

 

Well done on that Pink Monkey. My second farm has the best luck and got both those pink stables in events recently too.

Three farms are okay (even with my weird hours) as long as I have at least the harvester. But I decided that my last farm will only do those events that don't involve tons of work - ripping out fields, planting, harvesting, rinse and repeat - as I was getting so confused. I have not opened all the fields and just have trees out (well except for a Red Panda and Anteater for what reason, I have no idea!).

I also have the other farms pretty much given over to trees. Just leave the Glade with all my most valuable stock of animals and trees. I will decide when each event comes round how many fields I can/am willing to rip out or whether to do it or not (yeah, believe that, you believe anything!). It means that, with the harvester, I just have to harvest once a day more or less. I even didn't harvest this farm yesterday as I had no harvester function and was too tired. Shock Horror!

Could it be that I am finally overcoming my FOCD? Is it possible? Nah! I will have changed my strategy again next week!

 

easy event nothing special from stables quikly finished and 3000 Nublon snails over
so maybe i start my own Snail farm

 

I suspect some folks may just look for names of those who seem active, ie. those posting here, etc. There could be a list, but if so, it is likely for non English speakers.

 

Awww don't want snails or slugs on my farm ... this year they have been nibbling all the leaves in my garden and leaving little holes in them ...little devils

 

well, I got the three giver items, at least! Never did get a yellow. So the giver items are parked on my Baha side.

*** is a disguise factory? What animals are required to run it, and what feed is required?

 

It's a Raccoon's Mask So raccoon's & raccoon feed (peaches).
Edit: 1 of 7 workshop products that doesn't have it's own FSQ

 

Finished on Friday and I ended up leaving the trees as is and still got lots of those..things; so the chicken scare didn't happen. The skip gods were still mean to me though.

 

This farm got a Tiger (first on any farm) from the Baha Wonder Stables ... which was nice.
Baby farm didn't get anything worth noting but already has two of the most recent stables so shouldn't complain ... much!

Chevrefeuille, as usual, got the Lion's share - Red Camel (first on any farm), a Flamingo (first on any farm), a Yellow Chopstick Factory - - and very loud drum roll ... a Pink Panda! Happy dance, happy dance, happy happy happy dance!

 

Oh Well Done Illy aww thats great woo hoooo

 

Any idea when they will add the breeding animals to our farms?

All my nublon snails have disappeared, and I had over 70 yellows. Looking forward to filling up my barn.

 

I just discovered I have bahama mystery stables from this event.... now I feel like a sheep. Keep hammering in obvious stuff like this please folks. One day I might catch on. *might, maybe, hopefully*

I'm off to plant some stables

 

I do the same Moraine ...so you isn't alone ...it's only when i go in my inventory that i find them weeks later

Have still got my snails in my barn alexis

 

I got a tiger pen!! A tiger Had to buy food, since I can't grow the plants needed yet. And I still have snails in my inventory as well, once they have settled in, it's hard to get rid of them - all that lettuce......

Thank you Nellie, at least I know I'm not alone

 

Congrats Moraine and illy on your nice stables!
Patience, dear alexis, remember even alien snails move slowly! Hope you get some very nice animals in exchange.

I forgot my topaz stables as well ; just checked on them and got all orange pens - not bad.

 

Oh Well done Moraine

Didn't get my Golden Donkey i got a frontier turkey in the Random

 

Thank you Nellie.

Just got my exchange. No idea what are good trades, for me they are all fantastic. That is the joy of being a newbie, have nothing from before so all is new

 

Just got my exchanges as well! I am thrilled to bits with all of my new animals.

 

Very pleased with my exchange as well. Lots of animals to help me along the way. I hope you all did as well or better.
