Septemberfest 2018 - Strategy

Go illy1996! You can do it!
So many people missed the 50 BB. Having exams after reading the FAQ is starting to sound like a good idea.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try to check more often in between events. I'll even try rubbing some unicorn tears on my screen beforehand if it helps.

No shame in sparing yourself 3530 clicks for every full harvest with water and manure. I would buy machinery too if I had $$$.
My hand is like "I hate you so much right now, I could slap you". Good thing I don't have alien hand syndrome.

I wish this was also true for me. I did the same thing but I still have so. much. lag. My dartboard is very jerky and will sometimes freeze up on me mid-throw. Makes it very hard to hit the stickers.

Well said, as always.

In theory, you could get away with using as little as 20 SG + 20 SSG if you harvest with machinery, are able and willing to minimize idle time on the farm even if it means sacrificing sleep, and manage to get a perfect score in almost every game.

Here are the growing times I used in my calculations:

• 1st round of 20 event seeds on 2x2s nuked with SG + SSG after activating white innocence and fruit cake = 1:15:36
• 2nd round of event crops on 128 2x2s, 4 1x2s, and 68 1x1s with water and manure = 5:02:24
• a round of event crops on 1x1s with water only = 5:36:00
• a round of raspberries on 1x1s with water and manure after activating both Early Bloomer refinements for raspberries, mandrake powder, and aroma of love = 8:32:53

It would take just under 144 hours and the strategy would look something like this:

• Day 1: Nuke the first 20 seeds (1:15:36), grow 2nd round of event crops with water and manure (5:02:24), grow another 2 rounds of event crops with water only (2 * 5:36:00), then plant raspberries overnight (8:32:53)
• Day 2: Harvest raspberries, grow another 3 rounds of event crops with water only (3 * 5:36:00), then plant raspberries as well as 144 event crops overnight (8:32:53)
• Day 3: Harvest raspberries, grow another 3 rounds of event crops with water only (3 * 5:36:00), then plant raspberries overnight (8:32:53)
• Days 4 - 6: Grow another 4 rounds of event crops, including overnight harvest, with water only (4 * 5:36:00)

Total time: 143:56:40

Obviously this is not very realistic for most people and leaves no room for error, but I'm just putting this out there for any free-to-play farmers who are low on SG and can't afford to buy a lot of poo to show what's technically possible. You'd have to apply manure to at least one additional round of event crops to give yourself enough time to fit in the last 6 games, but it should generate enough crops and drops for 82 games (assuming LL is at 30%).

 

Whoop deeeeeeeee doooooooooooooo 344 pollution drops from Pooper Pens

and absolutely no howie donut use (donuts are for eatin anyway). The farm started trading howies off a long time ago. The farm will surely make a deal. No neon pens ..... no need to contact.

Advised years ago to pick up the cheap white innocence. This farm can never ever use all it has now. The farm will give away a total of 400 to the first farmers requesting it (max is two per farm). Simply send an igm requesting it and consider it on the way.

New motivating reward found with this junks event: power feed. Just what the farm needs to give the Poopers an overnight treat.

Good luck with whatever it is you are doing.

 

broke logic is so fascinating.

 

and with 344 pollution drops which are more than the total junks
and hurry-ups beginning to reach the cloud row
and poop prices beginning to decline at key hours at the right time
and no junker event scheduled for soon
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllll it's about time to begin some Proooooooooooooooofessionaaaal mindless junking
because those Poopers will need a power feed treat to keep quiet in the barn!

Please have no worry about the "broke logic" in trading off howies long ago and continuing!

Ya see, or maybe you don't, the broke farm is never short of drops not using some Howie donut character
and I refuse to tote anything from field to field.


Question (no answer needed): Would you trade off a stinkin, dust collecting, barn space taking donut character for four (4) Neon Poopers?

Welllllllllllll now, if you would, and you have 4 maybe 5 Neon anythings to trade for a donut character, then just look for the offers during the next Gift & Trade. (And don't even think about that Neon carpet trash either.) Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr we can make a deal.

and I'm really disturbed now. I just hope the farm has enough water stashed away so it does not have to purchase water from Beeps. I'm a little broke.

Good luck with whatever it is you are doing.

 

Poor Broke! Nearly did it myself many times!

Too right about reading the FAQs!
I wasn't too bad with clicks but I was always racing against the clock with vouchers - if I was lucky enough to have them!

My big mistake was falling for the "special offer" which including most of the harvester functions (excluded the CR and the breeding ones) and I was sold. Never to return to manual clicking! Figured I owed myself this monthly treat after 8 years of doing things the hard way!
Every time I play the mini-game, I think I have worked out where to hit ... only to get 18 again!

I have now played 20 games and have reached level 31. I should be about a third of the way through by the end of the day so I am hoping this will be enough to finish ... ever the optimist!

Good luck and have fun all!

 

Cloud row is up and running 32 games played, 50 to go (if I continue to throw well )

 

I have played 17 games and have only reached level 25 I'm not very good with those darts.
Well done Mir

 

I think I am going to come up short in the end. Just can't get more than three harvests to fit in with my daily life - and nothing would make me get up in the night to harvest!

So I am trundling on with mostly CFs with SG, 1x1s on perimeter without SG (hope I don't misclick!). Overnight I put out all 1x1s. I am managing to stay even with the drops but not sure if that will keep going to the end.
I will also find SG a bit of a problem in the end. I am buying mine with Farm Coins but I don't have a never ending supply!

Still hoping for the wheel to give me some harvest boosters!

@zerodegrees: The strategy you give with only using 20 SG, was that just to get the CR?

I have played 24 games, will play another 4 this evening so will get the CR up and running tomorrow.

I meant to say, well done Mir! Cassie, I get between 18 and have hit 22 but it is more luck than judgement, nothing to do with skill!

 

I have my cloud row up and running. I did very well hitting the Pretzels. Most of the time it was only 3 shots. It might be because I play X Box, favorite game Sniper I got the Orange Anteater. I will keep going to see how far I can get. Good luck everyone

 

I found out that the mini game works much better with a touch screen. I have doubled my effectiveness hitting the pretzels in comparison with the use of a mouse!

The Mindless Junker

Off to another day of mindless junking on the farm.

Neon and Pink Poopers all in the barn waiting on that overnight power feed treat.


Off to a fantastic day:

• Just reached a farm milestone of over 50,000 ladybugs

I'm going to name one illy. illy the ladybug​

• Played two stupid little games with closed eyes
• Junks growing wild on all 1x1s now and da junk CAC cloud roooooooow provided the CAC

and ..... Good luck with whatever it is you are doing

 

Aw Broke, that's soooo sweet!

Going back to my 1x1s, doing one extra harvest with SG to bump up my crop numbers. That extra +100/200 harvest on the wheel is eluding me big time!

 

There is only one single item that would change my junking philosophy

And I would give my whole barn for this:

• The illy pom-pom Deco item

What a reward!

 

LOL Broke, haven't you found one of those elusive decos yet? Whose hoarding them?
By the way, how can you tell which of your 50,000 Ladybugs is illy? Maybe it's the only one flying backwards!

Played 28 games, four more to be played in an hour and a half. Up to level 41!

 

Awwww broke that is so sweet! Congrats on your 50k ladybugs!

I also have the cloud row up and running! I was super lucky and won the +100% bonus 2 days in a row!!!! I'm not great at the dart game....but trying to improve!
Good luck to all getting the prizes you want!

 

Congrats farmer_broke 50,000 ladybugs is amazing! (to me) Congrats to illy for a ladybug named after her! so very nice!
Back on topic, I just finished the 1st 30 mini games and have the CR up and running! I have the 2 factory curtains on my factory I am now a mini factory 6! I am now working to get the "Orange anteater up-grade!" Good luck to all, I hope you get the
prizes you want!
Brooke,I'm not great at the darts either, I must learn patience! lol

 

I think I should start a new club cos I am useless at this game. Those bb - a distant dream for the coordination challenged!

 

A shortage of crops and drops appeared after playing 40 games, 848 points (taskbar level 56).
Happy with the result and prizes so far. Finally mastered aiming at the pretzels on the turning wheel.
Farmwheel landed on a 200% harvest bonus yesterday and I was able to do 4 event crop harvests with it. Unless I get another one this weekend I'll just keep junkin' the old style way.

Keep going fellow farmers. A few smiles a day keeps the sorrow away!

 

I had a similar problem with the fishing game, and clearing my 'history' helped sort it.....

 

Just entered the second list, 50 levels done.
No matter which way I continue, I am going to be about two or three harvests short and no extra boosts to help ... yet!

If I can manage to win +100% Harvest for just one day, even on the last day, I will be on the right track! Or somehow I can find 1,000 SG hidden under a gooseberry bush ...
I am managing to hit the pretzel more often though it is still just luck!
