Game strategies

@-Mir85- How can I buy 300 seeds? It is showing only 100 in my shop.

 

There is a rune in the tree of wisdom called "shopping spree" which unlocks bigger quantities in the seed shop

It has 4 parts that unlock an additional 50 seeds each. Total cost is 350 stars, more info in the FAQ. It's placed almost at the top of the tree, number 45 if you look at the image in the FAQ.

 

Found it. Thank you.

 

Thanks, Mir, for this thread.
Open question to All great minds in this great game. How can I maximize my chances of turning a say, 'Tartan Wonder Stable' into an Ant? Is it important to have 'fertile-ground' to put them on, or is it important to have high level 'surrounding-crops/stables' to harvest at the same time? By 'fertile-ground', I mean, having high level stables that I harvest before putting the wonder stable in the same spot.
Help me, as I am 0/14 on getting an ant from the Tartan-type-teaser stables!

 

I think this is indeed an open question

 

If an anthill is what you're after, you'd have a better chance of getting one from the "Zentang" wonder stables rather than the “Tartan” wonder stables.

Personally, I think the only thing that has any effect on what your wonder stables turn into is your farm level due to the Meta Item System (Level per Interest System).

 

BP even surprises me sometimes.
For about 15 Party tickets, I was spin the wheel without aim. And I won 100% harvest bonus 3 times.



I gave up my EP givers on the fields and grew opal basil on the main fields.
I harvested thousands of opal basil for every 5 hours.

And now I sell them on market 25. Easy money.

Spoiler

Note: There is also an error I made in that picture, or something missing. If I used that thing, I would get more +1 opal basil.

What was that thing?

It will be a small gift for the person who finds the error.

 

Congrats SahraB! I think the trick to getting those harvest bonuses from the wheel is to not expect them at all.

Melon Magic

Buff Slot: Gold
Gives: +1 extra main land crops in the "other" category for 2 hours

OR

Great Breakout Magic Stalk Row

Gives: 160000 EP, 20000 CC, +1 extra revenue for mainland "other" crops for 4 hours
Cooldown time: 20 hours
Requires the four event items

 

That's right! The Melon Magic gives +1 for other crops on normal farms.
Thank you zerodegrees! I will send 1* Anthill as a gift. I hope you like the gift.

 

Oh wow! Thank you so much!
You said "small gift" so I thought it would be something like an artisan product. Didn't think it would be something so generous!

 

Breeding: On Monday 10 Feb there is a twelve hour period where both the Baby Boom and the Deluxe Pheromones are both available for those who may be able to maximize skips.
I am saving my upper level shark breeding for this time.....

I created this thread back in 2014 as a guide for beginners trying to make or save game money. I found managing my finances in the game very challenging and was often stuck at a solid 0 CCs, so I made a guide of tips and tricks I picked up to earn a few starting CCs and build those into a bigger pile of cash.

It should be noted (because 2 years ago I copped a decent amount of grief from a player who was unnecessarily angry) that this guide was written 6 years ago. Not everything in the original post will be 100% accurate or relevant to the state of the game today. But for the most part, the tips and tricks I outline there still apply now.

 

I remember your thread, squigglegiggle. I learned a lot from it.

I agree with zerodegrees about getting the previous wonder stables goodie in the next wonder stable. Honestly, this farm has managed just fine waiting for wonder stables and not spending BBs on them. Took me a while, but I got an orange bison pen the other day from a wonder stable that I got as an event prize.

I like to say this is my poor farm and sewinglady's farm is my "rich" farm. But, honestly, this farm is at level 220 and sewinglady's is at 227. So what has spending money on that farm actually gotten me that not spending much money on this farm hasn't?

So, that said, I'll tell you what I cough up the dough for on this farm: monthly harvester subscription and the monthly mill subscription. If you're going to spend any money at all, spend it on those two things. The one just makes playing the game easier (and thus "funner" - yeah, I know, might have done that on purpose). The mill subscription greatly shortens time to mill PF and thus makes it possible for this poor farm to participate in breeding events, etc.

PS: the baby farm experiment is mostly a failure. I just don't have the real life time to harvest a bunch of extra baby farms. I think I'm going to keep two going and let the rest lie fallow...

 

Well done zerodegrees I totally forgot about melon magic. I have 908 of them in my pantry. I will be using them now.

I would gladly give them as neighbour gifts but the game won't let me.

 

Maybe everyone has always done this and I'm just ridiculously late to figure it out, but recently I have started putting breeding combos in the shack, but not harvesting. This way I can get lots of breeding done without using pheromones.

I harvest them when baby boom starts, which means as soon as the event begins I can harvest hundreds of breeding combinations without having to wait for them to be ready, and without using the pheromones on them.

 

Especially good to take advantage of half price sales when it only "costs" 1 PF per breeding, Squiggle!

 

I had a problem early on after BP switched to the breeding house (instead of the single pens that took up 6 spaces on a field) where my breedings would disappear if I left them overnight. Hence, I've always been leery of loading up and leaving breedings unattended overnight.

 

I suspect that was an early glitch, dumbunny - I've never experienced such an issue and there would be more reports if it were a current problem! Totally understand your wariness though, especially with a bad experience

 

That I agree. I play only in this farm. Other farms - I am not able even to think about.

 

"Hack" to get the builder to place 41 stables (or 2x2 plots) on baha plantation and in the rainforest

If you use the builder to place stables or 2x2 plots you won't always get the maximum number of stables possible. This happens in the magical glade where the builder places 39 stables, but it is possible to rearrange them and fit in 40. Similarly on the baha plantation and in the rainforest the builder will place 40 even though 41 fit.

On the islands I have discovered this easy trick:

Place a single 1x1 plot or a tree in the topmost left spot (see picture below). You can do this by hand or use the builder, it is the spot where the builder places the first 1x1 plot/tree. After the 1x1 is in place, you can order the elephant to bring out the stables, and now 41 will fit It works in the rainforest too.
