Hihi--
i just was asked via the PM system in game for tips to get someone started
(hehe--They dont know i just started last week in beta testing ;) :I am newbie too! I thought i would start off the thread with the messages i sent to them as my response.

I am hoping to get lots of tips to get people on a good start and have fun--so post what works for you to make your farm profitable and that makes you want to return to play again. thanks.


PM #1: some of the quests on the side with the people your to do list LOL Make sure you do them in the order that benefits your playing style--make the reward fit what your next plans are. Apples, milk and wheat are your most expensive things to have and are good to have in supply for when you need money.

Some of the quests require you to START the process when you are given that part of the quest--I think humus Leaf composter is this way. I suggest using humus only for wheat since you get more profit

PM #2: build dwellings to make the workers, but have lots of decorations to keep your production costs low. I like to have workers ready for when my upgrades are complete. You will find a balance that fits you.
Have fun--it is a game afterall :)

PM #3: I used to play GGS empire too. That game was similar in lots of ways too--this one is WAY more peaceful though. And one last thing and i am out of tips (LOL)
dont let your building upgrades wait too long--Your feed for the animals is what slows all the other processing down. Pig feed is a lot easier to make if you alternate and make it after you havea few made of the chicken feed. Cow feed is overnight in the mill and all my crops are wheat for overnight. It just takes a long time to finish from planting to harvest--to waiting to put it in the mill and enough money to make the mill start: can be an all day job, so i let it be my overnight task and leave the shorter time tasks for when i am actually on

**Oh i hope i did not confuse LOL
I will be on later if you need a few more hints-- And i KNOW there were lots of people who were way farther in the game than i was--I would love to hear from you as well--cuz I need some tips too :)

    I have a suspicion that wherever there are really thick bushes, some decoration is hiding there.

    yep when you upgrade your land size--it shows for just a split second--so that determines where i will bump out the walls next :) i found the lake with the little boat in one of them: the top decoration!

    Well, it was for me! The far left (W) corner? And in the lowest (S) corner is a duck pond. In the middle of SW side is a tree. On NW side there are actually two flowerbeds, you can even see them (as you can see panda in the cozy picnic next to S corner, too).

    i am also unsure about the decorations at the eastern corners, so the picture is incomplete for them

    I have another tip:
    If the mission/task says, when the timer starts:
    Produce--means you can have them ready and click to harvest
    Sell-- anything in storage all that you produce AND sell counts toward goal
    Start production--leaves for making humus has this & poop to make fert--Does not require to be finished for it to count toward goal

    When you get close to level up and completing task, sometimes the new task that opens is to hand over some supplies. So if you are getting close to level up, keep that in mind so you don't sell off a bunch of apples and milk, because you will have to wait until they are ready for harvest. Some of them you have to click on the task itself where the hand is reaching out to accept it.

    Hello, I'm lost... can't figure out how do I use my Humus?
  • monica79538monica79538 Posts: 1,932
    edited 14.12.2012
    Humus is made from the leaves of the orchards--click the composter and if there is enough leaves accumulated (21 i think is the level 1 amount) click the checkmark.

    To use it: plant your field--click field again and then the circle appears--click the humus--it goes on automatic.

    Hi Donyanna,

    To use humus, click on a field that has already been sown and you'll see a bag that represents the humus and a number next to it telling you how many you have in stock. Click on that and that's all there is to it.

    Hope that helps. :)

    You need apple orchards which produce both apples and leaves. The leaves go in the composter and that gives you humus. You do however need enough leaves to be able to start the composter.

    You use your humus on your fields. It increases your field's productivity for that crop only. good luck Donyanna :)
