    Whats the point? )

    For me it's
    - new challenge
    - new decorations for my main farm
    - new FARM with nice pictures ;)
    - opportunity to spend dollars not on the telescopes for a change
    - and... horses in future (look at green button in airport menu)

    It's a game! )
    haaaa it is becoming clearer so you can buy decs for main farm using shells from the island farm thats good :)

    TIP: read everything under the "questionmark" in the info-ring of the airport! Here we learn how we can unlock the horse paddock ourselves, if we work hard on the island!!

    Shells. You are missing shells. If I undarstand it correctly, they are new currency and you can buy decorations and seed with shells.

    totally understand its new currency.. but why does it cost more to produce something? than sell it shouldn't it be the other way round?

    Yes, everything vanishes. The only thing that stays (probably) are shells.

    I was asked to "donate" 25 certificate. But it might be according to your level.

    I see a 29 day timer on the decorations but not on anything else that is why this is confusing. I want to know if everything vanishes.

    love the new farm, almost everything, but i hate that the building time is mixed with the mainland farms, and it will last forever, every month, should i build my main farm or this one?

    I think it depends about your level... I'm at 48 now and i'm not gonna build and upgrade everything in island.
    Main farm is more important to me now.
    Island comes again someday and i'll wait for that.

    Higher level players this is o god thing and a new challenge. And i think they have more dollars too ;)

    But this is only my opinion

    The CM have said several times that everything goes after 30 days - land, buildings, crops, bank, island dollars, everything - but you will be compensated with shells for all your stored crops/goods/island dollars.

    The only problem with skipping the island this time is that the ship will ask for island products occasionally - and you may not be able to buy them.

    I didn't see this, I've only seen players saying it. I just want to make sure. I usually buy fancy houses. If everything vanishes I won't buy the houses that cost gold...

    I think, that ship is gonna ask products from greenhouse. With seashells we van buy seeds, seeds goes to greenhouse. From greenhouse we have exotic fruits and those are what ship wants. But we don't have greenhouse in use yet, so we save all seashells and wait again.... To have a greenhouse.....

    Hey rie222,

    I'm pretty sure this has been stated before, maybe not as unambiguous as I will put it now:

    Everything on the island farm will be reset after 30 days: all buildings - even premium, all purchased land plots, decorations, bank and cocktail bar, as well as the airport.

    Hey Dara15,

    the wait for the greenhouse won't be long - it will be in one of the next updates. :D

    hi,
    does anyone know, if i only transfer a part of the max amount, say 20,000 island dollars to the farm, does it still get freezed for 2 hours? or does it wait until i transfer the full amount, that is 46,000 to freeze?

    Wow, thanks Nafaru, for the answer. Like i said, we wait again....;)

    How about those e-mails? Have anybody had an e-mail from GGS. If i remember correct, there was something about e-mails in last teaser...

    Found it, here's a copy:

    bugs (no major bugs though):
    - decos do not unlock in deco-tower
    - the names of the mango orchard, coconut plantation, banana plantation got all mixed up
    - when clicking the cursor button, there is no diamond pattern over your farm (which would make it easier to rearrange things)

    Maybe it's not a bug? Maybe we must earn island deco for our main farms to unlock them? Just wondering ))

    You are right, Volty.

    Jiesta, the last 2 things are indeed bug-related and have already been forwarded. Your very first bullet point, though, is not a bug, unless you managed to purchase and place one of the island decorations on your regular farms. The deco tower will only react to decorations put on non-temporary farms. ;)

    Steffi
