    is it better, at the end of the island farm, if you have dollars left to buy something with it them and then sell that or will the dollars left be turned in shells, what gives you most shells does anyone know.
     
    You should leave as few dollars in your bank as you can when time runs out on the island, Letty.  Even though you get shells for any dollars left, the exchange rate is very poor. :(   Just keep enough in your bank to keep your island farm producing things you can sell for shells. :)
  • thank you farmer John I accidentally  transferred too much over so wondering if I should buy houses to use it up.

    All products in farm management will be gone when the island ends. It would be best to sell your products before it ends so you can get more seashells from them. :)

    @Damaria3, According to the Island Farm's page, any leftover inventory, buildings, etc., will be sold and you'd be given credit.  (It's a pittance.)  I sold my products and leftover produce before the event ended.  However, I was in the middle of an upgrade, and wasn't able to demolish my buildings and fields.  But a small sum did show up after the event was over.  I bought as many seeds as possible -- the rest of my seashells will just have to carry over.  They should show up in your inventory.

    This was news to me. In the past, I remember having to frantically demolish everything.
  • how do you get the island back..i had a bunch of missions left to do and it disappeared.
  • i was really enoying the island.. gut cant play it now

    The Island Farm is temporary and only lasts for a month when it is here.
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    @april4 (US1) It ended 6 hours ago.  Be sure to trade as many shells as you can for seeds before the truck disappears in about 44 hours.

    I always sell my inventory before the end.  This time, I left over a million in seashells of mangoes, coconuts, Peacocks, etc.  I did this on purpose to see that thing at the end do it for me.  Yet, I did not get credit for those items and only got about 100,000 seashells.


  • I noticed the same thing after the Vikings last took off to plunder elsewhere. This time I cashed in everything. Probably the best course of action from here out. Also noticed that the demo payoffs were really low.

    Hello,

    My Island farm has mysteriously disappeared? 

    Help please!!
  • Lioba (NL1)Lioba (NL1) NL1 Posts: 7

    I have cleared my cache, but still no Island.
  • lthrrr (GB1)lthrrr (GB1) Posts: 1,665
    It was scheduled to go ! It is a  temporary farm.
  • Lioba (NL1)Lioba (NL1) NL1 Posts: 7
    ok, will it come back again, in time?
  • CathyD (INT1)CathyD (INT1) INT1 Posts: 958
    It will come back, but you'll have to start over.  That's how the temporary (island) farms work.
  • I might be wrong but have a feeling that the seashells you get at the end of the event are for your buildings/fields/decos, and you need to sell your produce before the island disappears.
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    They had said in the past that inventory gets sold for you.  It must be harvested, so if you had un-harvested stuff, that would not get sold, but the inventory should have been.  Perhaps GGS could clear up that if there is any misinformation there; however, they seem to have quit using the forum at all.
  • I didn't build anything except 1 field (lvl 1) and 1 bar. I got 70k in the end. So I doubt it's just for buildings/fields/decos, since I'm only off by 30k compared to OP.
  • If you have 10,000,000 island dollars, you get 100,000 seashells at the end of the event.

    You're better off producing on your Temp Farms until the end - you'll get more shells/runes/vouchers from selling the product than you will from the demo.  Some of the big decos do give a lot of shells for the demo and fancy houses are pretty good.  But when  you compare the time it takes to demolish these items.  Just keep and eye on the clock and don't start anything that won't finish before the event ends.  Sell off everything in the last hour or so.  When the event is over, you'll still get the small amount the game gives you.
  • Hi there,
    This is the first time I did the Island Farm earned 5m which was nice and thought cool.  The problem came when after demo and still 3.9m in Island cash, I got back 25, 003  (less then 10%) in shells.  I thought about it for awhile and I have to say the demolishing is a great deal more profitable then letting the game give what they think your efforts are worth.  Some say let it stand and I say more power to them.  Having said that  selling all the stuff that can be sold and demolishing all the stuff that is allowed to be demolished earned me 3.5 million which definitely helped getting seed for the coming ship visits.  I guess it is a matter of ones view point.  If you want more for the event then GGS is willing to give you, Demo/sales are the way to go, if you just need to finish the event without something decent to show for it, you let GGS do it for you.

    Well thanks everyone I sold everything off then I thought I should have left a little for next game mango bananas but could not remember if they saved or not guess they did not from the postings here.
  • shazamd (US1)shazamd (US1) US1 Posts: 766
    The products won't carry over on the next event, so you were correct to sell off everything.  The only things that carry over are the Temp Farm currency (shells/runes/vouchers).  However amounts already in inventory don't apply to earnings for the next Temp Farm.

    I am really feeling dumb but what are vouchers shazamd US1

  • i agree with shazamd and FunnyWalker22. I grow and produce as much as possible on islands until the last possible time limit; animals, crops, products. Then I sell everything off and demo as much as possible, BEFORE the island closes out. This definitely gives the best possible pay-out. Nothing carries over from island event to island event, except the shells, runes, etc. you earn to buy special items and seeds. Islands can be lots of fun, but lower level players beware and be cautious: They can be costly, and your money and gold may be better spent leveling up your regular farms. :)
