This event is so confusing. Logic would have you start at deck 1 and work your way up but no, you start from deck 2.
I had to restrain myself from pulling my hair bald

 

Where on Deck 2 is square 10?

Found square 10. Where do I get snails?

 

From market if you do not have snail stall to grow them.

 

Thanks for the info.

:-0)

 

Other than the confusing start, this event is great fun. I like events with the timed boxes, especially when the timer is set to where it is actually feasible to collect what you need if you have job/family/life that precludes harvesting at a particular time some days. The wide array of prizes is lovely, as is the opportunity to skip some steps if you prefer not to part with those resources. The event crop is different and the graphics, as always, are outstanding. Drop rate seems really good, so a challenging event without being difficult! two thumbs up!

 

I can't believe the starting the event relies on having such an exclusive animal

 

Same here. This is one I won't be doing. I get that they need some events that higher level players will find challenging, but I've scanned the ship levels and see a bunch of things I currently can't produce required. Oh, well. It takes all kinds.

 

I have to agree that having the event put you on deck 1, but you have to start in the middle of deck 2 was TERRIBLY confusing. This event also reminds me that I don't have many workshops out on my farm. oops.

 

this event is a bit of a double edged sword for me.
i have just finished it completely, luckily i already had all the required items sitting in my barn so just had to grow plants and collect drops...easy. nice selection of rewards, 2 cloud rows and repeating rewards...that gets a thumbs up

on the down side.....i totally agree with the other comments above. to say this event is "easy to hard"..... yes; can participate from level 3...mmmmmmmm!
to have the first squares requirements to play the game as 2 snails....for someone on level 3 .....laughable! if you do not have a snail stable then you have to go to the market to buy them....currently standing at 132,000cc each. as soon as players who are not doing the event or see an opportunity to make a heap of money from others see the event FAQ, straight away the price of items needed rockets up.
i am all for supply and demand, i use stables to make manure to sell in events i am not partaking in, i get the animals and sell the manure for a profit... but for a low level player having to find 260,000cc to get a sticker and entry into an event that is supposed to be for all is tough.
i would happily put all my spare snails into the market for a price tag of 1cc each..IF i knew that they would only be bought by players who do not have snail stables so that they could participate in this event....but i know how greedy some players get and someone would happily snap them up and resell them for 100,000+cc just to make some money.

you need to rethink entry requirements for events like this so that, like your FAQ says, everyone can participate not just the fortunate ones.
please heed this advice.

 

I like events with the timed boxes. I didn't sell the snails but I wonder how many people just bought the snails to participate. These rarer animals need to have some function/benefit or there isn't much use in having them. The very few snails seemed like a reasonable price for an event in cc's.

 

This event needed to start at level two.
Why didn't you start the FAQs with this?

 

Even for veteran farmers, this one was a bit of a head-scratcher.

There was much to like - it was a "grow and throw" - nothing to mill, yay. The prizes were nice. The fact that some prizes could be harvested every 6 or 12 hours once the square was opened - thank you very much!

The downside? Some newer farmers may have had problems delivering some of the goods - workshop products and snails in particular, as noted above by others. I get why the snails...it goes back to a previous alien encounter with "snailiens". Kinda cute if you're in-the-know...head-scratching if you aren't.

Starting on the second floor seemed odd at first, until one realized that the elevators went up or down from that level. But, maybe the default position for the game window should have been the second floor instead of the first floor. That might have eliminated that confusion. A fellow farmer messaged me where to start - otherwise, I'd probably still be looking.

Again - overall, nice event. THANK YOU!

 

It was fun and doable for most. I enjoyed the low stress level once I got the snails.
