Thanks @Chamomile* I'm definitely in for this one. Good luck to everyone participating.
The graphics for this event are adorable!

 

Thanks, Chamomile, I shall give this a try and wish everyone success. I need to practice doing the mini-game as in the past, I lost time by not clicking properly when I tried to move items from one place to the other. Hopefully, I'll catch on quickly this iteration.

Note to self: autumn pumpkins can be gifted and are given by the magic tree.

 

I'm home! And I'm in! And thanks, Chamomile for starting the strategy thread. This farm and SL's will participate.

 

Hello everyone and good luck in this event. Please explain if I understood correctly that hypothetically completing all 45 games will give us 900 star coins, but if we exit at least every game then spending 90 games (playing each game twice) we will get 1350 star coins (10*45 for failure + 45*20 for the completed game).

 

Waiting to see "the shortest and most correct transfer lists" as in previous events of this type - yes, I know and remember - last time the first 20 fields were so-called trivial, but still not 100% sure to be successful, I made the first 8 levels myself without any Forum tips...

edit: Howie Donut´s (even one) can´t be placed FMF... sad...

edit2: only 90+87=177 drops, all fields (176+176) 12hour plants + trees... Drop-Persentage was about 50% (and with 4x more-drop-persentage-givers 7+5+2+2,5 = +16,6%)

 

I am also waiting to see solutions. I have done the first 5 but I know they get progressively more difficult and I usually need help to finish them

Thank you so much!!!!!!!

 

I love you, Chamomile!

At the moment, i have all the plants for the 45 minigames and planted glowing thing for drops.

 

Thanks so much Chamomile! I've completed 9 of 11 on time and the posts will be a huge help going forward (then backwards to redo the two over-time ). Hope to see more solutions my tomorrow morning.

I found pumpkin drops to be scarce with Moondew during the day and the Terror Eggplant overnight. Hopefully things will pick up once I have all crops needed. I got no egg timers.

Good luck everyone!

 

Thanks! I had done 9 on time and now I can do more!

Thanks, Chamomile for all your hardwork! I love that, when I finish a puzzle, the lid closes on the empty coffin.
It says "That's it. You're done."
There is something eerily Final about that.​

 

What are peoples' thoughts on exchanging the crates? Are you going for trees or what. Thanks for input and Chamomile for all the help.

Thank you Chamomile* for all your hard work posting all this wonderful information for us all! I really appreciate
all you do for us! It will help me a lot! Good luck to all who are filling coffins with other spooky things!

 

Thanks Chamomile for the game solver absolutely brilliant and a huge effort too.

Not sure if anyone has picked up on the change to the CR.

It has since been updated to more EP, etc, but the farm coins and power feed have been removed.

 

It's not cool to offer us something then take it away, especially as it factors into players decisions to do an event or not. It's a bit deceptive.

 

Thanks for the solutions, Papatya. I've played 44 games so far and only realized there were solutions too late. I had to play one game twice. I wish everyone the best of luck.
