April Fool's Day fields - meaning and function?

Some are "pretend" to be 8x areas, others with a reduced growing time. Apparently both types of fields can only be cultivated by hand, not with a combine.

Please tell me when someone figures out how it works, APRIL PRANK, these are mud lately, that is, in recent years, the prank has been useful for the hardworking.

I put some of the fields "8x8" in the Bahamas according to the 3h58min growing time of the Additional Area and some "those others", not knowing what would happen.

I sprayed water on everyone so that they would be ready at the same time as the plants from the real event.

It is 01.48 AM in Finland ALSO and these fields have not opened up right away, are they just a blur and a trick or can they really be used somehow!?

Edit: "reduced" fields tells to me:

For the breeding time 47285930848 ÷ 43 = "something big number of time"

which doesn't seem to be the same in seconds as Bambu in the Bahamas usually is, when will they finish or will they ever finish?

 

I'm over at my in-laws. Fixing dinner. Stopped to harvest the event fields. I have no idea what this idiocy is or could amount to and I have no time or patience for it, either.

 

I am also not sure what these funny plots of land are supposed to be doing. Nothing more than something different to look at
if anyone has any idea IF they actually do something please let us know! Happy April Fools the jokes on US!

 

Guess we'll figure all out tomorrow. Hope so

 

I have four different 1x1 illustrations: Whack-a-Mole, Cosmic Call, Fairy Ring (main) and Underground plot (Baha). They are on all 3 of the main and Baha lands. They harvested and planted with the harvester like normal. The time on each of them matches the rest of the plots on that land. So far, I haven't seen any 8x8 plots like @Nuubi-Joonas2210 describes. They are only displaying over plants and not trees or animal pens at this time.

 

Yes I agree, and when I like leave Main land, and go to say Green meadow, and then go Back to Main the plots have all changed and moved around!

 

I planted sugarcane using both fields. The crop on 8x8 can be harvested after 15 minutes but the yield is just 5 per plot. The other field it says is supposed to shorten growing time but those fields after 2.5 hours are still not ready for harvest.... Yes, it is a joke on us.

 

I forgot it's April Fool's Day and ignored the infomercial about plots as I was in a hurry and went off to do my usual morning farming (btw, completed the Master Class with 5 Chimpanzee breedings).

Now after catching up in the Forum, I went back and checked my fields to discover without me doing anything special, some of my mainland field plots turned into Fairy Rings (the mushrooms in a circle on a plot).

Some of the Baha fields have Cosmic Calls (tentacles), Wack-a-Mole and Underground plots.

These plots show the same countdown to harvest as the original crop sown, so will see what happens at harvest time. I didn't lay down any of the new plots and now have no intention to do so

Look forward to reading more about how the pranksters have pranked players!

 

I haven't seen the 8x8 field option, but I clicked on some of the new plots and found out they are tunnels to other parts of the game. Not sure why, but I'm hoping someone else can figure it out while I sleep.

 

Wish I had come here first, just thought it was a joke and carried on normal farming! But, using the tab at the side, one of the plots is huge and gives a bountiful harvest, the other has reduced growing time but less harvest. On second thoughts, I am glad I bypassed it. It will probably be over by the time I can check it out properly!

You have to congratulate the Devs for giving it a go each year when we are all anticipating something - and usually we get irate cos we think we are losing something and that rarely happens. It's just a bit of fun!

 

Nope, I can't figure out this April Fool either. Put out some of the supposed 8x8 but they were still only 4x4 and didn't give anything extra (planted hay). Also tried some of the plots that are supposed to shorten harvest time but they certainly don't (also planted hay). Now I have half a field that my hay will apparently take 47286322317:06 hrs to harvest.

And I don't get what the purpose of the Whack-a-Mole, Cosmic Call, Fairy Ring and Underground plot are for either (except to annoy us). In previous April Fools if you click on the pop-ups enough you got a nice little prise but I've whacked that mole to death now and nothing happens.

Oh well, nice try by the Devs (thank you) but I'm not really seeing the fun this year (sorry).
