    No, that's not true Dara15. It appears you found a display bug since demolishing buildings should always grant you some sea shells.

    Yes, it is an error

    anyone else getting locked out trying to reply?

    my question Is, does Benny disappear when the island is done? do I need to buy a bunch of seeds

    When the Island ends, Benny's shell truck will stil stay a few days more before also that disappear.
    - and Benny's truck will also visit us again sometimes even there's no Island event running, at the same way like Omar's Bazar, Monica, Nice and naughty and so on.

    What about found decos? Does demolishing them yield shells?

    Do you receive these shells even though when you click to demolish it shows that you get no shells, only workers??
  • Jiesta (NL1)Jiesta (NL1) Posts: 6,557

    Yes, you do receive shells for demolition, Rvcats!

    There is a display bug as from the start of the island event that shows 0 when clicking on the demolishing icon in the info-ring. One should ignore this, as you will be getting shells for demolishing items!

    So those high priced decos and houses really are the most important to demolish yourself it looks like. I don't know why we can't know how much island dollars to seashells conversion is, I hate that it is so secretive.

    It reminds me of the gourmet rework.. it was kinda like "well I have 36 million more dollars than before, I hope it is right"

    I have just started to demolish my buildings on my Island. I am BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED in the percentage we get back. for example 1 small palm trees cost $35000 Island dollars to put in. The return once demolished is 105 shells this equates to $333.33 per shell . I am still demolishing everything BUT I WILL NOT BE DOING THE ISLAND WHEN IT RETURNS as its a waste of farm dollars. Can you imagine the horror on peoples faces when they realise that their gold they spent to get their islands finished is going to return such a little amount. I feel very sorry for those players i really do. If i was in a better finacial position i would have been one of them.

    yes you do

    Demolish once the even is over to get these shells or you have to do it BEFORE the event is over?

    Fizzy when the event ends in about 18 hours you will get 50% of the demolish rate. If you start now you will get 100% of whatever you demolish up until the event ends.

    The mods have said you get paid for things like lemurs and fruit Tierco, but I sold all mine to make sure I see the shells. They have not said what the conversion rate is for dollars or buildings you can not destroy yourself (like the bank) so I am making sure I sell all my stuff before hand so I am not left to wonder how much I got for them when we get our big lump sum when the event ends.

    If you manage to get a good economy going in the island farm, I calculate that you get more shells back from your production than from demolishing your buildings (especially now that we automatically get 50% of demolition shells back from each building at the end of the event.

    Ring menu optimization:
    The ring menu will now display exactly what you get with each production.

    Hey, very nice, but now I can't see any more how much of fertilizer my orchard will take to start a production! That is much more important data!
    Correct me please if I've missed something, as I hope I have.

    Indeed.... you can no longer see how much fertilizer is needed for an orchard or how much feed is needed for all stable animals.
    Not an improvement.
    If the needed amount of feed/fertilizer was shown next to the cost... could work. But the info now shown is hardly relevant and what one would want to know is no longer visible.

    We see it only when we start production, if not log out and log in - it will help.

    And before harvest we don't see fertilizer or feed, but I like the new menu - it's more informative ))

    Hey Kimmiecat4,

    we had a smaller issue with some texts being displayed. If you still cannot see how much fertilizer/feed is needed to start a production, please reload the game, using CTRL+F5.

    It should then be displayed again.

    Steffi

    Oh, and I like the new sounds when we click on the ship. The horn, the sound of seagulls and waves splashing. Pretty cool.

    faut-il mieux démolir ou continuer de produire ?

    Miche, ici on parle anglais seulement. This is an English-only forum. :)

    If you demolish, you will get the full shell value of your buildings but forfeit the production from those buildings. If you continue to produce, you will get the value of your production but will get only half the shell value when the event ends. I don't know if anyone can answer the question as to which is better at this point. I think it's an individual decision, based on what you are doing on your farm.
