Cozy Stable Stories Strategy

I'm making an attempt at some kind of strategy for this event although I got to it a bit late. The highlighted/red options are the ones I'm most likely aiming for. Some levels will have different preferences depending on your strategy, but this is explained a bit more later on. When it comes to some levels I'm undecided yet and therefore haven't highlighted any options. However, there are many options here so it all depends on what you prefer really.

First, here's the breakdown level for level. It's important to note that in many instances the option allowing for 3 steps instead of 2 isn't the best option!!:

Totals for event crops and drop items IF always using barn items where this is an option. I've only added up the items from levels 1, 3, 4, 7, and 12 here, and also tried to even it out to some extent between the two crops. For the most part it's best to go with Sweet Spice Shrubs for these levels, but only doing that will require quite a lot of those. Depending on your stock of items using this much of the barn stock might not be the best option to go with for you. It's only a version of a MINIMUM of what's required if having enough of the other items required in your barn:
9048 Sweet Spice Shrubs
13200 Cookie Spice Shrubs
1080 Mixed Nuts

If going with no barn items in the places where you can use event items, this is one option for levels 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11:
Level 5: 7680 Cookie Spice Shrubs
Level 6: 840 Mixed Nuts
Level 9: 2032 Cookie Spice Shrubs, 1284 Sweet Spice Shrubs, and 136 Mixed Nuts
Level 10: 3168 Sweet Spice Shrubs(or 3552 Cookie Spice Shrubs), and 240 Mixed Nuts
Level 11: 2128 Cookie Spice Shrubs, 428 Sweet Spice Shrubs, and 152 Mixed Nuts
Totals for these levels:
11840 Cookie Spice Shrubs
4880 Sweet Spice Shrubs
1368 Mixed Nuts
- If going for this option I would suggest going for more of the Sweet Spice Shrubs in level 1 or 7 to even it out a bit more.

Totals with mostly all event items and crops if going with Sweet Spice Shrubs instead of Cookie Spice Shrubs for level 7:
18440 Cookie Spice Shrubs
19808 Sweet Spice Shrubs
2448 Mixed Nuts

Please let me know if you notice any mistakes. I haven't double-checked the numbers, so it's very likely they're a bit off. Hope this helps some even so!

 

Oh goodie... another ep multiplier cloud row...
not what I need to restock my barn....
there's a bit of powerfeed and some fancy pheromones but Not enough to fill four fields with 'cropalota'

 

ChayaAvery, thank you for starting our strategy thread.

The FAQ was, um, not that "faq-y' in my opinion. The requirements for steps are for ONE donation - so multiply those numbers by 5 or 4 depending on what you choose to do...and then there's the cost of the rainbow doo-dads - are the 20BB or 10BB (it says both, depending on where you look), and it turns out they are...20BBs.

So sewinglady's farm is doing this event. This farm is dabbling at it, and the rest of my farms are sitting it out. And, with the major switch to Unity, I may have to let all the baby farms go permanently fallow - it just takes too long to farm with Unity.

 

Thanks ChayaAvery for starting the thread.
I'm doing the event, but in all honesty, I not really enticed by it. The giver items will probably be best placed on the farm to use their charges before putting on the cloud row.

 

Yes, discharge the givers before using on a cloud row. The good news is that you don't have to go all that far to get the cloud row. I've decided this farm will go that far and skip the special givers.

 

Thanks ChayaAvery for starting this thread and crunching those numbers.

I am skipping it as I don't want to empty the Glade AND Crystal Falls, without these, it will be impossible to get the crops required. Also, I don't find the prizes exciting enough to go all out.
Good luck to everyone going for it.

 

Thanks Chaya for starting this thread, crunching the numbers and making it easy for all of us.

 

I will just do to level 5 for each animal to get the cloud row, then I will decide it I want to go further. The Cookie Spice crop gives excellent ep if you are wanting to level up.

 

Thanks ChayaAvery for doing all the work. CR is up and running.

 

sewinglady's farm just got the CR up and running. This farm is lagging a bit...short on green goo.

 

Thanks Chaya for doing all the hard work minimising the requirements both barn and event items wisely! Finished all levels

 

I figured that I would just do what I can and not sweat it too much. I am tired of doing so many back to back events. It seems like the "events" are taking over farming and being able to just enjoy farming at my own pace is becoming the special event...

 

CR up and running. I will be more comfortable until it is over now. If it runs out; beautiful . But if it doesn't end; I got what I gotta buy, no problem.

In my market, fertilizer prices sometimes go up to 8,000 CC.

 

This event is finished. I think a record time for me. Had a lot of help from wheel. Only used SG & SSG to start crops. Animals all grew up.

Best of luck to all.

 

This done and thanks to the neighbors for the gifts

 

I finished this also. Thanks to neighbors for the drops!

 

I also finished. Thank you Neighbors for the gifts.

 

Finished too and thank you neighbors for the gifts.

 

Thank you friends and neighbors for the Mixed Nuts. All the critters fully grown. Fun and easy, a nice combo.
My sweeter half / hubby heard me grumbling about my old computer and the switch to Unity. Yesterday he walked in with a new computer.
I have a question!! How do I transfer my farms onto my new computer?

 

Farm is controlled by BP accessed by password and login so it doesn't matter what computer you use that is connected to the internet to access your Farmerama farms.

The only problem you might have is with your internet service provider because they provide coverage for a ___# of devices. Look at your agreement with them and if necessary contact them prior to switching to see what if you have to do anything special.
