PS. What kind of "stuff" do i get back???
I've read through the whole thing and now understand much better, not just this event, but temporary islands in general......
2 more questions that might be off topic on this thread:
i don't seem to be very good at searching old forum threads.....and some links listed don't work, is there a good search mechanism i haven't discovered???
and, several posts above mentioned "island rankings" where i could see how many shells i've earned.....i can't find it, could someone tell me where to look??
i see rankings on my profile page, but that's over-all (leveling) points, and the blue ribbons from missions ....
I just noticed that the production times are not showing on the Orchards when I click to fertilize them. The production time reads only "C" next to an image of a clock.
Only explanation I can think of is that we shouldn't be needing as many seeds to last as long, since a new temp farm will start up a few days after the last one ends, and we will then need the new seeds.
So if you could get level 2 handbook for the tropic star for 6690 gold and an extra 584000 shells from somewhere else, you only need to produce tropic star 40 times to meet the required 65 million shells. The ingredients required for producing these with a level 4 beach bar are:
28600 oranges
180000 mangos
144000 coconuts
60000 bananas
Unfortunately the number of products required to be able to produce the required amount of tropic stars appears to be quite unrealistic to get within the 576 hour time limit.
Why does it need to be lowered? Since the temporary farm now changes more frequently, less seeds will be needed each time since the duration will be shorter. So I believe keeping the price the same for the seeds is a very reasonable decision.
ggs need to fixed construction time
If the price of seeds isn't reduced proportionately, then there's no point in (my) doing the Temp Farm anymore.
However, the seed price is the same as it was for the 30-Day farm, so I'm out. With a full week less on the back end for earning seashells, that's going to reduce my seed purchasing power by around 40%. Not worth busting my hump and spending the same amount of Farm Dollars building the farm only to wind up with 40% fewer seeds at the end of it
If they include both their breaks and last the same time as I said above, then I agree the prices should be changed so the seeds are still relatively accessible by most players and are reducing the amount of horseshoe training possible by players.
Generally it took me about 5-6 days to get everything bought, built & expanded. The farm was pretty self-supporting then, usually making enough "Island Dollars" through daily tasks and task rewards to keep up with production without having to use the bank after that initial time frame to keep producing.
Now even though the event is 25% shorter, it's STILL going to cost the same (example of $100,000,000) Farm Dollars to get everything bought, built & expanded, as none of the prices have changed; only the length of time you can produce has. Buy shorting the event a week that leaves ~18 days to produce, instead of ~24 days to produce.
GGS has realized this and reduced the amount of seashells required to get the Hard Work Rewards by between 28% and 43%. I.E:
Waterslide - 30 Days - 700,000 Shells needed to win.
Waterslide - 24 Days - 400,000 Shells needed to win.
Reduction of 43%
Skiff - Reduction of 30% (3,500,000 instead of 5,000,000)
Island Entertainment Box - Reduction of 30% (14,000,000 instead of 20,000,000)
Pearl - Reduction of 30% (35,000,000 instead of 50,000,000)
Cowshed - Reduction of 28% (65,000,000 instead of 90,000,000)
So even GGS expects that people will finish the island with 30% fewer seashells - but it's still going to cost the same (example of $100,000,000 Farm Dollars) to get them. If your goal is to win the cowshed, then you're probably not going to care. MY goal is to buy seeds, and buy not reducing the price of them, by GGS's own numbers I'll be buying 30% fewer seeds for that same $100,000,000 investment than I was when the event was an extra week longer. (And I usually always wound up spending at least some gold on the better decos, the better houses, and the last few plots of land since it's easier to replace gold than it is farm dollars
All things being equal, they need to reduce the price of seeds by 30% at minimum in order to keep the investment cost <-> seed value the same as it was when the event was 30 days long. That's just MY feelings on it, others may differ - and that's ok, I don't expect everyone to agree.
Sorry for the length, but I *liked* doing the Tropical Farm. I'm just not (personally) going to invest the time and the same $100,000,000 Farm Dollars only to come out with 30% fewer seashells at the end of it (and hence, 30% fewer seeds).
Thank you very much for explaining this to me, I now understand why Damaria3 was disappointed that the prices were not changed and I also support a decrease in the price to buy seeds.
I think it was the same person who ask for weekend CC and NPNG
you need to decrease the upgrading cost of all building in temporary farms , 10 days will need to built a complete temporary farm and it takes near about 10cr dollar , and still there are less days than old one , cost of buying seasheel is same why so ?
you can do 2 thing
decrease the prices of buying temporary seeds
OR
deccrease construction time along with upgradation level
I was playing in that Candy farm and had to put more products in the boat. Now then Candy farm ended I have not opened tropical island yet, but sill I have to fill all 6 slots to send boat. Why? I thought if I will not play that island I will not have to grow these seeds
I recommend to ALL never even try to do any temp farm until you are at least level 120 or better still never open any. Once you do you are stuck with the 6 slots. @Spurgiukas (INT1)
thank you for your answer:)
