Fishing Contracts Question

So far I've been deleting contracts that have a one day completion time, but thought I might now give one a try.  Can somebody please let me know if the one day actually means just that or is it like the events where after 24 hours you then get a 24 hour countdown.  In other words is it a day or two days to complete.  Thank you

    I have no idea because I fill the contracts in 1 second

    there is no upper limit on fish so you can always just make sure you already have enough to fill the contract beforehand, it doesn't matter then that there is a timer on it.

    sorry i cant answer your question, just a heads up, i'm sure you realized already.

    I've just tried it for you. Donated 1 item, closed the market, re-opened it, and it still says ~1 day.

    Thank you Uncle John you're a star. Despite not having everything yet, I'll risk it., ....
    qewt, I have thousands of most of the fish I need, it's just those darn clams, shrimps and oysters which every contract is crying out for. 
    Thank you both for replying
  • Contracts:  Like qewt,  I don't mess with only partially fulfilling those timed contracts.  I wait till I have everything  and then I fill it all at the same time.  

    Like you, I was initially cancelling a lot of contracts.  Then the experienced players talked about that  pretty much all they do in the game is fulfill contracts.  If you don't cancel contracts: 
    1)  you will soon be getting much larger contracts.  ( many millions of dollars)  
    2)  I now have six contracts vs. the four that I used to have at the lower levels.  
    3)  The important part is the bonus payments.  When you hit the 'farm management' button on the bottom row of buttons, you will see all of your available contracts.  Look at the numbers in the boxes  beside each contract.  If you hover over that number, you will see the bonus percentage that you get for fulfilling that contract.   After several months of fulfilling every contract i get, I now get a roughly 25% bonus every time I fulfill a contract.  That bonus includes 25% more stars, horseshoes, et al. that the contract pays.  Those bonuses are now quite large for me.  Every time you cancel a contract the bonus percentage for the next contract is a lot less.  That's the penalty for cancelling a contract.

    (As part of a recent contract, I just made 13,000 apple turnovers.  It took a couple weeks.  Boy do I cringe now when I see apple turnovers in a contract!  The main farm's equivalent of clams imo, lol.)

    The game is more fun and a lot less tense for me now that I don't focus so much on completing the weekly events.  Also, there is no chance involved in fulfilling contracts.  The chance associated with playing the weekly events got old/frustrating for me a couple of years ago.

    I'm sure you can find a better explanation of contracts- probably at crazybigfarm.tk, I think I hit the high points here.

    Best of luck to you,
    Emm

    I think it is important to use the ability to decline a contract, often there will be contracts that will be very difficult for your farm to fill and it is not worthwhile all the effort. But I do agree that it should be used in moderation. For the organic market I decline a lot of contracts that request items from fields and gardens and some contracts if there any too many contracts requesting one item and it is slowing the other contracts down. For the fishing market I decline every 2+ item contract and every contract with chum. This way you can still have very high bonus value contracts and earn good profits from them.

    Clams and oysters have a much lower dollars per hour than other fish, but sometimes I have to use it as a filler with swordfish and salmon for a reasonable profit.  
    Clams and oysters in contracts needs to be lowered because people avoid these contracts and causes more stress trying to avoid bad contracts.

    Decline them directly if u dont have enough fish to fill :)
    I dont get them much these days after declining them a lot , only cods tuna sword and salmon mainly come in contracts .

    Dont worry about fish om value . it gets stabilised in long run . Mine is at 99 for past few months now :) even after declining those clams oysters .
