1) After the 30 days and we lose our buildings, will we get some compensation for them (Like additional shells or something)?
2) After the 30 days, what kind of island-dollars-to-shells conversion are we talking about? A rough rate is fine, I'd just rather know if it's like 1,000 per shell, or 1,000,000 per shell.
3) Are the chapter tasks reset each time?
My strategy would change drastically, depending on the answers to these.
most important is the sand castle decos i think they will probably have same or higher value of event main prizes, and if so then a +78 deco even worth alot considering how much it cost to get same happiness from telescope event, so i think this will be an alternate to that since everyone was tired of teles.
aside from that i think this event is mainly for high level players, specially if the "build" be same for all 4 farms, which i think is a good idea cause game gets boring at high levels and there's not much use to $ aside from dumping on tele event either anyway.
for low level players it still will have benefits ofc at least same as major events like fairy tale, etc, but probably not as good as for high level players, since putting everything on hold for build on 3 main farms for a month, will probably not be a very good idea > example. dropping behind in upgrading main stuff such as windmill etc while leveling up and raising the difficulty of major events.
so in short yep i think this event most benefits high level players and even though it might be a bummer at first for low level players, but trust me if you reach higher levels u would beg for some event like this, since $ gets almost useless (unless for tele event = deco) and build is not that busy anymore anyway. so dont be too disappointed if this was right, just do some actions in tropical island get some reward(if not best reward even at first, still its some prize even with level 1 buildings which shouldnt take that long to build on tropical island as it seems) and some in main farm, till u reach higher levels and can go further in this event, since itll be back every now and then again anyway.
p.s.1 i dont think the number of certificates needed for unlocking airport be more than 200 certificate really, since they mentioned it shall not take more than handful of missions. so i suggest stop worrying guys and lets look forward to this update, we can always give our feedbacks about it afterward if something was awfully wrong anyway (same as the feedback we gave about bakery, nothing might be perfect at first anyway)
p.s.2 also since there's 3 chapters and 3 different happiness sand castles, if you are a low level player and couldnt finish chapter 2 or 3 for example, dont get disappointed, think about it same as other events, as how even if you were able to do master difficulty event at level 30 for example, you would hardly be able(almost impossible) to finish it anyway. so rather just get as much as could, and focus on all 4 farms, not just the temporary one in the 1 month since build will be same for all 4 most probably (i suggest avoid upgrading to too high level buildings or spending too much $ on temporary island if you are low level, try to rather balance the spending and gains on tropical island with the other events and their gains as you slowly level up)
what i mean by this is, for example see how much you're normally willing to spend on telescope event with your level, and try to not go much higher than that in your spending on the tropical island, since if you do, its same as if you cant upgrade your 3mil windmill while spending 20mil on getting a high value telescope = which is not feasible at all or optimum at all if you are low level.
p.s.3 and at last about shells and their exchange for "seeds or 4 normal island decos", as i suspect the normal decos wont be of much use for high level players who may spend crazy amount of $ on the island since their happiness value will not be as high as for example major event prizes most probably, so my guess is:
1- if you are at a level that not much care about $ and rather just want to get the highest value sand castle > chapter 3> then best is to exchange shell for seeds, now ofc the seeds will most probably not get u as much $ as u spent but special seeds have other uses for high level players too = using in other events to get collectibles instead of planting continuous 5 min corn(which is very frustrating at high levels and master difficulty events), so for high level players optimum prizes will most probably be "mainly" the last sand castle and some bonus seeds.
2- while for medium/low level players instead of seeds, the normal decos might be more useful, imagine if for example u need to make many enchanted trees (+33 value happiness, 150k cost), this way you can rather get other decos with shells based on the amount u spent + first and maybe second sand castle, so for medium/low level players optimum prizes will most probably be normal decos for shells and the first 2 chapters sand castles.
(since the third one might need alot effort and money and most probably it will have higher value than even +78 i assume = harder than master difficulty events = very costly if be bought in telescope = not optimum to spend that much in low/medium levels)
p.s.4 dear nafaru or latten, make corrections plz if i made too huge mistakes in my guesses
Edit by PINJO: merged posts, please use edit button
the first 3 farms are permanent. but the 4th is temporary. using the same construction time that you could use on the first 3 farms for buildings that will be erased couple of weeks later.. doesn't sounds logic to me...
plus, we manage 3 farms at level 100.. but what about a level 30 player? how easy it is for he/she to manage 2 farms simultaneously, two sets of building demands?
of course, there are rewards.. but what about the common sense? does GGS have that?
very excited now
can't wait
We still found way more bugs than we'd like to find, so we moved the update to monday. I hope that's in your best interest as well.
And it will be nice to finish the Asia event before turning my attention to the new features, so overall the delay is probably a good thing from my perspective.
I am excited as well as a little apprehensive about the Island update.
Excited in the fact of getting to discover what new features will be available to players of BigFarm.
Apprehensive because the server may be down for a couple of hours to perform this update all the while there is an Asian Theme going on.

Amazing how the folks at GGS decided to announce this postponement at the end of their major announcement thread instead of creating a new one. Kinda makes me look like I'm a fool for posting my earlier post.

Happy Farming!
What.
But yes, less bugs please. And also, I don't know if it's something that happened in the last few days but the game's been pretty laggy; will the update affect this?
It resets after 30 days and we start all over again.
The airport needs to be unlocked at the beginning of each 30 days time slot. But once it is unlocked, you should be able to use it to travel between farms just like we click on the little signs to go to the gourmet and flower farms is my guess. Seems logical to me anyway. I guess we'll find out for sure. But I do know we will be playing our regular farms as normal, just adding this too it. It is an addition, not a replacement. 8)
