I have noticed that from the Goldfish hard work reward #9 , the rewards do not drop until you catch more fish, is anyone else getting this problem ?

@garybaldy (GB1) That is correct. - Several people have posted that they are not getting the activity rewards from the Goldfish event, but that is because they are not getting credited until you catch more fish or add more food for them (no idea why) But the good news is that the rewards are being received.

Hello everyone. After alot of action and intresting changes and additions we are still farming our asses off in Farmer-Friends.  We do however have a question about the new goudvis reddings event. There is indeed a fish pond in the coöp village. When I went there I discovered that that we have donated over 1,000 fish food, but there is no fish consumtion.  Can I assume that there are no fish in the pond? Or do we have to do something to get fish in there? We are busy at the moment with oleg op the flower farm. He is realling the gold fish in for us. So we have fish in the fish bowl and the points are ticking away nicely there. Can any one help with the fish problem in the village?

@Britse-spitser (NL1)  At the end of the event all your fish will go from your bowls to the pond & will start to eat those pellets.  You can donate the pellets during the event, so that you can empty your storage & produce more.

Christmas vibes??
Sorry to spoil da vibes but :
The compensation for the earlier totally caotic HW (hard work event) is a lot of this and that here and there and catch it if u can various places on the farm.
Right, I managed to be online for the wheel-of-fortune 20 token version last evening .
After looking at the decor i could obtain i was after all turned on as there was several objects i would like to have.
I did even get some of them, YAY, but my final gift got stuck in the wheel how ever that can happen ???

It was from the free round (last of 3) and was a viking house which i VERY MUCH would like to have.
It was really odd to be able to see it stuck there in the middle of the wheel and not get it loose and down my inventory ...i tried ,believe me, every thing.
So my question is : WHAT IS THE NEXT THING I HAVE TO DO  TO ACTUALLY GET MY REWARD/COMPENSATION ?
.....................
OH never mind it showed up ore rather it is a skin and not a new house ,...so i did not try everything after all
Now Im just waiting for the rest (mentioned by others above) to show up .
This game is more stress full then fun atm ...for me anyway, I guess i better take a break from it!

At the end of the goldfish event, what happens to the bugs that still in storage?

@FarmerCli (US1) any unused items such as fleas & goldfish flakes will be converted into fishing XP at the end of the event. Goldfish pellets for the pond will remain in your inventory.

@CuddlyFoxes, do you know what the conversion rate will be for the fleas and flakes?

@CuddlyFoxes
Wondering if you have gotten an answer about the conversion rate for the fleas?  Thanks

Does that mean, that we cannot produce pellets after the event is finished, and that we cannot donate pellets later?

I found a major bug in the goldfish event. I lost dozens if not hundreds of fish before I noticed.

I dropped 28 goldfish bait into my tackle box. I then turned on my Amphibian at 80%. Here is the pre-fishing bait quantity:


I had made a notation of the number of goldfish I had before I started and again after I stopped fishing. 

I started at 468 goldfish. After catching 28 goldfish at a +4 bonus level, I should have had 580 goldfish.

What I GOT was 28 goldfish at a +2 bonus level. I only gained 56 goldfish. My new total is 524 goldfish:



The Amphibian bonus was still active when I finished:


I ran one single goldfish through a test to see if the same pattern repeated. It did. I documented this entire test run.

First, I moved 14 new goldfish bait into my equipment column.



I re-checked the total of the goldfish:


I caught just one fish. As you can see here, I was running a +4 bonus. I should end up with 4 new fish. The goldfish total should then be 528:



As you see here, I only got +2 fish.

I wasted 500 gold to run the 80% level on my Amphibian because the game tells me I am getting a +4 bonus. Instead, the game is giving me +2. I'd call that a pretty significant bug.

Surya54 (INT1)

It's just a display error when catching goldfish. Actually, you only got 2 (to be precise, you should only got 1.8, but it's rounded up). Using amphibian's big booster are not necessary when it's come to fishing yourself, because you ALWAYS got 2 goldfish per catch (unless you want to gather few goldfish from Oleg).

I discovered when using amphibian's booster (Ex: 50%), the game will count your goldfish increased by 2 (rounded up from 1.5). But it TREATED as the 2 goldfish DIDN'T affected by booster, so it INCREASED again to 3 goldfish (but only 2 that REALLY you got).

FarmerFrederica (US1)

I do not accept that. If I am told I am getting +4, I should get +4.

FarmerFrederica (US1) said:

She's right though, it's just a display error.  You can only catch 2 goldfish at a time with the 80% booster.

Catch 1 goldfish, multiplied by 80%, is "1.8 Goldfish".  The game rounds this up to 2.

They got the Points right, as you can see - 50,000 points is 2 goldfish worth (25,000 points per goldfish).

They've probably got a decimal off or something in the code, but the most you'll get (fishing manually) is 2 goldfish at a time.  The 80% WILL make a difference when you send Oleg out for 30 goldfish though - at 50% you'll bring back 45, at 80% you should bring back 54.

Sorry Freddy, I know it says you're catching them 4 at a time, but it's a math/display error.  Try not to let it surprise you TOO much.

I already had this problem on the first 2 days @FarmerFrederica (US1) and @Southern (US1) already explained on several post here about it...:)

I began making goldfish bait in my mill, and harvested it once, restarted it, and when that batch was done, I clicked to harvest it. It said the barn was too full and I had to sell ONE. But when I click on SELL I get the red-orange flashing warning (looks just like the one before it crashes) that says I can't sell it. And because of that, I can't get it out of my mill and I can't use the mill to produce any other kind of feed. I'm very unhappy about this. What can you do?

@Beth.Anne (US1) You need to use your bait to make room to harvest more. There is no point saving it, because any unused bait (and goldfish flakes) will be converted into FXP at the end of the event, when your goldfish are moved from the bowl to the village pond. 

To use your bait, click on Oleg on any of your 3 farms, go to the tackle box, click the bait tab & drag your goldfish bait into the tackle box. Click the "go fishing" button, which will open the minigame. Using the sidebar, for each goldfish bait you use, 1 gold fish will appear for you to catch.

FarmerCli (US1) said:

@FarmerCli (US1) Any left over fleas will disappear from your inventory when the event is over.

Lesley52 (GB1) said:

I have followed all the instructions on CrazyBigfarm  Thank you all for maintaining that site but I still cannot fish for goldfish myself I am not that good at the mini game. So I send Oleg fishing for 22 + hours for 30 goldfish, with farming a lot less I am spending more than I earn it costing 3M+ but I wont farm more probaly less the way the game is going so I have 60 goldfish lol

@Lesley52 (GB1)  If you send me a PM with the difficulties you are having with the minigame I will try to help.

dchen1 (US1) said:

I got double cod from this boat.  


Cod left the swordfish, salmon, cod pools and they are now everywhere.  The closer my boat is to the swordfish, salmon, cod pool, the more cod I will catch.  

@dchen1 (US1) All the "extra" cod flying around, are in fact your WWC points - The icon mysteriously changed from Oleg's face to a cod fish, we are attempting to get it changed back.

The garden will only be an event reward for now.

In which event the garden will be given as a reward?

Αnd what about the rewards about the WOF in the 5 first places that no one took them?

@TONIA75 (GR1)  The garden may be in the next HWE.

The top 5 winners who did not get their WoF rewards, need to contact support.

nannsi (SKN1) said:

@nannsi (SKN1) After the event, when the goldfish are all living in your village pond, coop members will continue to produce pellets & donate them to the pond to feed the fish & you will get village happiness from them.

@FarmerFrederica (US1) As the others have explained, there is a display error with the +4, it should be +2 in the same way that the points shown are +50K instead of +25K.

As you stated your amphibian was set for +80% which for 28 fish would be +22.4 = 50.4 fish & you got 56, so you did get more fish than expected, rather than less.:)

Does anyone know if this is a glitch or I am just not looking in the right place to find these items...

I won a goat stable in the first Christmas WoF, but cannot locate it anywhere.  I checked the "themed building" tab and there are only the houses I had previously purchased. I checked under the building tab for the GF where I would build a regular goat stable, not there. 

Also, a coop member purchased the Bunny Field and is unable to locate it.

Any ideas or should we file a support ticket?  Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

If a person wins this new, smaller garden in the next HW event, will it require dollars for upgrading or gold?  There are two such meadows that are smaller.....one that requires dollars and one that requires gold for each level.

I am confused by your statement above.  Look at this photo below:




How many fish would transfer to the pond....if this were the final picture of the event?

Also, we need a start time for the HW.  It is a coop event, and we need to prepare our group.

Why does the village pond have a "Rebuild time"?   Thanks for any replies

Is there any answer for this yet?   Also for a fully upgraded pond it shows 200 happiness.... the goldfish added after the event would be additional happiness, correct?

I should have received 8 tokens for the goldfish hard worker but nothing registered.  Refreshed game but still nothing. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hey @Shay1968 (US1) the rebuild time on the fish pond is just a display error & will be fixed with the next update.

Hey @bdreish (GB1) the rewards seem to show up only after collecting more fish or feed. Please let us know if the tokens don't appear after your next collection of fish or feed. Thank you!
