    The decos on the island will be lost. The decos that you buy for shells on your own farm will stay.

    that is very cryptical, I don't understand which one you mean. It sounds pretty interesting though.

    You can find all the island decos in you deco-tower, lollifant. That would be the easiest way. Second option: just click on Benny Buddler's truck and in the following menu you can see the decos, too.

    Yes, you can buy island decos for other three farms (these stay permanent). Click on Benny's car for more information. In a future, you will also be able to buy exotic seeds, but that is part of a new upgrade.

    Very happy with the island farm. Have not decided or calculated if it is worth it or not reward vs. what we will spend but I don't care. lol. Gonna build it up anyway, should be a month of fun and activity.

    I understand that but I thought that rie222 was talking about a hidden deco in one of the extensions in the island farm.

    There is hidden deco, the big palm tree, in the lower right corner too (the first time you go to expand the land that is given). :)

    Hmm. Or maybe the left corner? I forget. Sorry!

    It would be nice to know seed prices (and how often this island farm/some other way to get seeds to greenhouse will appear) so I would know how many decos I can afford to buy with seashells. Not that I can afford to buy anything yet.

    If the "oasis of idleness" deco is going to a 7x7 if we purchase it for our main farm, it is less valuable than a 5x5 like the massive waterfall. I know there are supposed to be seeds to purchase with shells. I don't see any and I am just assuming I have not unlocked them yet. Does anyone see seeds to purchase with shells? I don't expect to be able to buy any yet, just want to know there will be something usefull to spend shells on.

    The seeds can be bought once the new greenhouse has been opened. If you click on the question mark in the airport's ring menu you will see how this event fits in the bigger picture around the farm. You will get the seeds that you can make in the greenhouse, the tropical fruits can then be offered to the ship that will give you a.o. horse shoes as a reward for the new horse stable that will be implemented after the greenhouse probably.

    Guys am I the only one who isn't exactly thrilled about how the island farm works? After so much anticipation I was a bit disappointed. Here are my issues.
    1-The 2hr. waiting period in order to transfer funds.
    2-The fact that I can only use decorations that I get in my drop box, on the island farm! Unlike with the other farms. Instead I have to buy it for the other farms.
    3-I don't like the idea of loosing money left in my account, when the island farm up and leaves.
    4-And this one applies to all farms. I should be able to do constructions, upgrades and demolitions simultaneously. After all, every farm has its own workforce. What, is there only one set of tools that everyone has to take turns to borrow?
    I really hope they rectify this stuff.

    So you mean it could be either of the 2 fields underneath the original land, but not those to the left of it?

    I'll have to waste all the money on spec now, pity there seems to be no records of those decos yet :/

    Hello rie, hear our plea,
    we don't understand your co-ordinates, where's this field please?

    Is it one of the first four, or at the outer edges?
    I'll have to waste the money on spec now, there seems to be no records of those decos yet :/

    The only info we have about those decos is the happiness per square. Not where they are hiding in the bushes indeed :( Happiness per square is made by rhon and placed on the website (link in signature) in case you need it.

    Those who cleared land were so fast they forgot! Then again, if this deco is only for the island, it's not that important I guess (like you, I had also built/upgraded the wrong things first and am now idling).

    Perhaps GGS should offer an auto-pilot option with three different risk levels – akin to selecting an investment portfolio. Think about it... you could start the whole process in motion right at the tutorial! Then you could, like George Jettson, interlace your fingers behind your head, lean back in your chair and let the game do all the thinking.

    Maybe read a book, get groceries, play pinochle, go for a walk... or sit behind a booth with your head resting in your hand offering psychological advice for 5 cents... anything that doesn’t require you to match wits with a trifling circumstance.

    Wouldn't that be grand? No struggles with update disappointments; no learning curve when a game augment occurs. Check in every once in a while to see your farm expand and your profits soar based on the risk level you selected when you began.

    And when your farm auto-pilots aren't making the gains you anticipated, a click of a button would scrap the whole thing, and you could start all over again with a different risk portfolio.

    Utopia!

    Ok, first I like it so far. Anything different to figure out is fun.

    Several people asked what seashells are for. I'd like to add to that. What are they for????


    Trying to "earn" money faster than waiting the two hours, I tried selling some orange fizz. But I think that money went into my main farm funds, not the island. Is that correct? And WHY? Is there no way for the island to earn island bucks on top of what you can transfer?



    Tasks... it seems to me, putting in the sugar mill when it asks for it is premature. I have three farms and tried putting in a second field instead. Seems a better choice. All farms here seem to have tasks come up either before you need them or sometimes before it's even possible. Such as level up the sugar mill before you have enough workers to do it. Meaning buy land, then another house. With what? Seashells???? Then the mills lowest item it can produce is peacock feed. With no peacocks to feed, place to put it, or workers to man it, what's the point?
    My advice, hold off on the mill.


    This one is directed at GG staff.
    I WILL NOT BE SPENDING ANY GOLD ON THIS GAME until you put in some kind of gold lock.
    yet again I lost some from a stupid slip of the mouse.
    My mill is right next to my fields. While rushing to plant corn or flowers for a mission I clicked too close to the mill and forced it to finish what ever I had going. FOR GOLD I did NOT want to blow. POOF CLICK GONE.
    So once again I'm begging you. Put in a gold lock of some kind or another. Many suggestions have been made.
    Pick one and do it. My credit card has not been used on a farm in a very long time and won't be.
    (THat being said I have spent plenty on galaxy. Which you aren't even working on anymore. Yes money can be lost there too but not as easy.)



    Meanwhile, has anyone figured out if it's possible to do this island farm to completion without spending gold?
    Cause if not, I may just let it go. (I'll try it myself once first, but nice to know not to expect anything.)

    I dont get the island farms appeal yet.
    So basically I need to spend all this time and money to build an island farm and it just goes away after 30 days.
    No Thanks what a waste of valuable resources. The only "good" thing i can see is you can buy decorations for your main farm with the shells, but they aren't very good deco's either 1.285 happiness per square for the large palm tree come on i dont have a 7x7 space to waste on that. Thats the size of an orchard, hell no.

    I read somewhere that any remaining Island Dollars will be converted into Shells & we don`t lose the Shells after the event ends.
