Very Important Olive Garden Info.

Olive Gardens are buildable well before a recipe called box of soaps.

level 1 Olive Grove gives off 1 honeydew per harvest.

HOWEVER.........

level 2 Olive Grove gives 13 Honeydew per harvest. level 3 gives 17, lvl 4 - 19, etc....

So it is a fairly obvious harvesting jump from 1-13 simply by going Up a level as fast as possible when you build these.

You will be happy you started this honeydew stockpile when you start doing "Box of Soaps".

Moral of story.

This is one crop worth taking to level 2 as SOON AS POSSIBLE.

If you think this is good advice please make tiny comment below to bump this thread for visibility and to aid others. Every comment takes this information to top of Thread list, and this advice is simple and can save a lot of wasted time and earn you big bucks on a recipe that has seemingly endless supply of ingredients.

THIS RECIPE "BOX OF SOAPS" IS WORTH $50 000 FOR 30 MINUTES. YOU COULD MAKE CLOSE TO $2.4 MILLION A DAY FROM THIS RECIPE ALONE, IT IS NICE TO HAVE A STOCKPILE OF HONEYDEW FOR IT.

I AM LEVEL 76 AND THIS IS ADVICE I WISH I HAD AND SHARE WITH MY CO-OP

    Yes, this is a valid comment and if you are online all day, you will make more in sales on Soap than you will on Honey Cream... I haven't however taken the time to compare the profit on the two. I hammered Soap for a while there and in support of your "seemingly endless supply" comment, I NEVER ran out of ingredients.

    I did the same too, i upgraded olive grove to level 2, but i'm using honeydew to make honey coz i don't have level 6 Shop yet :)

    Yes, that fits too... It's certainly not "one size fits all" in this game, which is good, otherwise it'd be boring then.

    People who use their thinking caps will outperform those who blindly plough along without a plan.

    Yep, I though the 1 honeydew from olives was a mistake at first LOL. Adding a citrus orchard was not much help either. I decided I was not going to get anywhere with having both of the orchards and wasn't really ready for them anyway since did not have the shop upgraded yet, so i demolished the citrus and built other things and upgraded what i have already to almost max levels. The flower shop is a balancing act of workers vs happiness.

    Good Thread,
    I make 520k from my honey cream in the shop,But im always 100-120 short of honey,But buying that amount only costs just over 100k,So you can still make 380k every 7 hours,and i try to run honey cream twice a day giving me 750k profit.

    @ Farmer DJ1,

    Buying honey is not something I had considered, but I find if i run box of soaps when I am online and then honey cream while offline I never run out of supply. That is a great idea though. Thanks for sharing. I will certainly look to buy honey next time i am short.

    NOTE - I must be one level above your flower shop as my profit for HC is 620k each. It is almost as lucrative as the soaps especially if you consider down time between harvests - if any.

    So that's the problem. I was wondering how anyone managed to ever get enough honeydew. Thanks!

    Hiya,
    Are these the same honey dews that you grow with the exotic seeds?
    I've upgraded my olive grove and went to see how many"honey dews"I had, and realized I already had some b/c of the ones I grew in nursery. Are these the same ones?
    Thanks

    There's honeydew melons which you grow in the green house and which can be found under "produce" in farm management.
    And there's honeydew which comes out of olive grooves and which can be found under "farm supplies" in farm management.
    Two different things.

    No, they are not the same as the honeydew melons you grow in the greenhouse. It is honeydew, the substance which you need to feed your bees and make honey for products in your flower shop.

    Edit: nooca was quicker on the draw! lol

    Hi Raggs,

    Olive groves produce Honeydew as a bi-product, which is used to feed bees in the apiary. This is not the same as the Honeydew Melons which are grown in your greenhouse, from seeds bought from the shell trader.

    Totally my hunger talking but I read this thread title excitedly and was very disappointed when I opened the thread to realize what Olive Garden you are all talking about.

    WAX
    another ingredient in the same recipe "box of soaps" is WAX which you get from Apiary. Level 1 apiary gives only 1 wax, level 2 apiary gives 15 wax (14 more than previous one) and level 3 apiary gives 40 wax (25 more than the previous one). The subsequent upgrades after level 3 give +5 wax each. So i'd say it is worth upgrading your apiaries to level 3 if you need more wax.

    Great ideas here. Very helpful. Will be upgrading them all again and making more soaps and honey cream. Was wondering how some were making so much money.

    When I am able I will be doing just that. Once this co-op challenge is completed I, hopefully, will be able to buy the land so I can build the olive grove. Then upgrade it as soon as possible.

    It's help like this from other players that help everyone else get on in the game.

    Thank you.
