    My early strategies have been to upgrade the bank (to get it to lvl 6 only cost about 2000 gold in speed ups) and to have 3 islands fields lvl 1. Still waiting to finished the fizz task.

    Do the chapters reset as well? I know the island itself does, but if you can't finish e.g. chapter 2, but you've done chapter 1, will your progress save for next time? Or are you doomed to make overly expensive orange fizz for eternity?

    Yes, chapters will reset as well, so you will get another chance to win the chapter 1 deco in the next event. :)

    Anyways, do the shells carry over?

    Yes, shells carry over. Everything stored in your regular farms' inventories will stay.
    Has anyone else noticed that it costs more Island Dollars per Shell to make Fizz than it does to just sell the Oranges outright? I even added in the 50,000 shells as a reward for the quest step and still come out cheaper for raw ingredients. I haven't gotten to the other items or recipes yet, but I suspect they will be the same. I even compensated for happiness levels with no change in results.

    This sounds interesting. Which level of the beach bar are you talking about?
    I'm pretty sure you should make a higher profit with higher levels of the beach bar. Until then, quest rewards for orange fizz productions should compensate for that fact at least. ;)

    can someone tell me, what kind of plant/trees can we sow at the green house? and i see we can plant bananas, i wanted to ask, how the bananas/coconut trees grow in the greenhouse? can we upgrade the greenhouse? and when will we have the greenhouse updates?

    No, we can't. It's still a surprise what tropical fruit we can grow in the Greenhouse, and the moderators told us (you can find this in this very same thread) that this Greenhouse will probably open in one of the forthcoming updates.

    Bananas and coconut trees you can grow on you island farm. You need to purchase banana plantation and
    coconut plantation in the buildingmenu of your island. This will come up in one of the tasks, surely.

    No - it simply means they are connected. Try clicking on the questionmark in the info-ring of the airport (don't forget to hover over the pictures). Here you can see that the island event as well as the Greenhouse are links in a bigger chain.

    As soon as the Greenhouse opens, we will know what tropical fruits we can plant .... Untill then: patience ;)

    I think it will be better if we can make Island money on the Island to. That will help small farms a lot

    And at the end of Event a lot of dollars reward to

    In the Questions about the game section of the forum, there is a thread started by Prince Manish called The island farm! It is a compilation of all the tasks and info about the island. Very informative. Hope this helps.

    The bug should(!) be fixed. Please try, everything regarding the bank update shouldn't make any problems anymore.

    I scrolled as far as I could tolerate to little avail... The entire island farm poofs in 30 days so it can be used for future, similar events? Even the bank??? Surely some of the elements of this feature could carry forward. Just the bank would be a step in the right direction. Maintaining already upgraded exchange rates for future events will go a long way in encouraging me to complete this event, not to mention future ones.

    everythings will be gone in next 30 days, but when this events starts again, i will directly play for this island farm, the rewards decos so cool and can be claimed again, althought my farm hasn't fully upgraded :(

    No. Seashell amount will not reset after 30 days. Your collected amount of shells will stay. When this events ends, all remaining products and island money will also be converted in Seashells. The rest: buildings/production-units/expansions/upgrades will vanish.

    Where can I see these chapters ? Do you mean the quests in the left hand side bar ? If so chapter 1 task 1 is different to that listed in Prince Manish's thread - Start production of 1 orange fizz.

    ok sorry to ask but i have read and i am not sure i am finding the answers to this island farm. Please clarify for me.

    So with the task that have started we have 28 days to complete them correct?
    So we build all of these building and expand the land and all of which we have to wait for that bank every 2 hours so we can exchange money in order to build and expand. Then after the 28 days we loose everything that we have built? is this correct and when it resets we have to start all over exchanging and upgrading and building again????

    Please could a moderator clarify this for me. because if i loose all expansions and everything that i have already built up and spent hard earned farm cash to exchange for island cash then i think that this new farm is totally ridiculous. I wouldn't mind if i got a new set of tasks. not liking that i loose everything i have built up and expanded. that sucks.

    Tippy, That IS true. Everything is gone after event is over. All you have is seashells, and those we need later.
    You don't need to build everything and finish the event this time. It will come again someday.
    I don't do all, because i don't have enough dollars. And main farm is more important to upgrade, for me.

    Hey Dara15,

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

    :( It's a shame we are going to lose all those nice decorations, and upgrades in a few days. don't know why they just don't sell us the seashells for millions of dollars and not make us work so hard for something that wont last. I don't think I am going to do it anymore for a long time. I need money for the architect and upgrades on my other farms. They are the priority for me. The island is a waste of my hard earned farm cash right now. When I get everything upgraded and have nothing better to do with my money, then I will concentrate on the island. As for spending gold on something that will disappear, what a waste. It seems like I am throwing away my money. Should have named my island The Money Pit.

    It would be nice to see how much farm cash we have at the bank also. I would like to know if I am buying more island dollars than I should. I try to keep a certain amount of farm cash at all times and don't want to go below that amount.

    I have a question. I understand that whatever products we have in our inventory when the island farm ends will be converted to shells but what about production facilities? Will we get some shells for the buildings, fields & orchards we build or should I plan to demolish them before the event ends?

    I don't know if this has been asked and answered yet. If so I apologize for the repeat. Its late here & I'm too tired to the search the forums right now (I searched a little but not too much :p). If a player has an answer please post or direct me to the post from a CM. Otherwise I would appreciate a definite answer from Latten or Nafaru. Thanks! :D
