I am just laughing at the ship requesting 1 item of a crop more than the greenhouse produces, I would have thought GGS would not have made their devious idea so obvious.
Top is higher happiness, bottom is lower happiness.
An increase in happiness does decrease the production cost, like expected.
However, in both cases, the reduction is not applied but instead looks like added (along some small extra amount) onto the production, making it more expensive.
Hope I'm not making a fool of myself if this is intended because I can't seem to find any information regarding this.
Thank you for your attention.
I've sent a ticket to support, I would recommend that you do so also.
Thank you Q
I am NOT going to spend MORE farm dollars just to upgrade the other structures so I can make SEVERAL different candies. By then I'll have "invested" 10 million into it!!! It would bring more tickets, yes, but I just can't AFFORD it and I am not going to spend much more than 3,000,000 on a temp farm when the only reason I am only doing it to begin with is for the seeds, so it's insensible to spend much more than that... The horses aren't worth that then - I'm sorry to say (over 4,000,000 for 5500 horseshoes and some seeds + working so hard, it'll seem like WORK, not PLAY). The horse is not going to give me my 4,000,000 back. Not with this farm. Adjustment NEEDS to be done... because, frankly, I can't be bothered with trying to figure out a working strategy; it's impossible with the way I play.
That aside, I'll play it leisurely for fun, with any spare spending dollars that I have, because I DO like the setup.
Sure is, the same way that you visit their main farms. Anywhere that you go to click on another players info, there is dropdow list to select which of their farms you want to visit, next to the green arrow which takes you there. If you are already on another person`s farm, the dropdown list is up in the top left corner.
thank you
I don't think anyone thought to report the vouchers for building, buying, and clearing all the plots/buildings. Which is a shame. I'm kicking myself now. I'd really like to see them for comparison with the Island.

Just to do the justice, you might want to go and check with your debate partner Psicolix for further detailes.

And now you are gracefully allowed to kick yourself
Yes, he added a couple there. Would be great if he listed them all for people to take advantage of.

All tasks completed to my ability...
Still have 40 Fruity Delights in inventory
104 Marzipans
2 chocolates
3 gingerbread cookies
And I won't even make the 2nd tier prize(the one I want).
Your name suggests it, LOL!
I do! Marzipan reminds me of my old restaurant.
I did some math for small players... best payout for a low budget.
Fist you need to undestend that if you don't go for level 4, the payout of orchards and fields sucks, so i recomend alpacas, and the recipe that do the most use of alpacas is the pudim..
Suggar Mill Lv2 = 252k (32k, 220k) Makes 12 Alpacas feed Need: 360 Pasture [12 workers]
Alpaca Lv2 = 4x556k (46k + 510K) makes 3X (72 Milk + 44 cream) [44 workers]
Cherry Orchards lv3 = 1.190k (350k+840k) [17 workers]
Humus machine lv2 = 80k [7 Workers]
Field Lv1 = need 4, [20 Workers]
Factory lv2 = 1200k [15 workers]
Cabin lv2 = 300k [+32 Workers]
Trailers lv2 = 6X100k [+84 Workers] {-270 Hapiness}
Deco 4x4 = 11X150k {+ 264 Hapiness]
you will be able to afford and feed 4 alpacas lv2.. thats.
Milk= 864 (enouth for 12 reciper of pudim)
Cream= 528 ( 12 recipes of pudim + 48 cream Leftover)
12 recipes of pudim Also takes:
72 grapes. (36 colections on a lv1 field, about 6 hours with 1 field)
432 Cherrys (If you can colect 12 times per day from a cherry orchard, you need 1 lv3 orchard)
Leftovers = 720-432 = 288 Cherrys
The final stage is to make 360 Pasture for the alpaca feed.
on the orchards you will make 12X47 leaves... in a lv humus machine gives about 8 humus per day.
with a level 1 field, you can make 2 times pasture per day, thats 2x23x2= 92, you will need 4 level 1 fields)
now you can do:
12 Recipes of pudim (pays 74.688 Vouchers per day)
48 Recipes of candy (pays 9.792 Vouchers per day)
thats 7.496.000(Plus price of the expansions, i'm too lazy to do it now) Investiment for 84.480 Vouchers per day production.
Now... lets talk Isle. how can i make 85.000 Shells per day?
Field lv2 = 2X450k [28 Workers]
Trailers lv2 = 2X100k [+28 Workers] {-110 Hapiness}
Deco 6X7 = 3X35k {+105 Hapiness}
Production: field Lv3
11x 560 Peanuts = 6.160 Peanuts = 43.130 Shells
1X 700 Grapes = 700 Grapes = 12.600 shells
Total of 55.730 Shells... (takes 2 fields to match the candy)
thats 1.205.000(Plus price of expansions, i bet is a lot less than the candy) investiment for a 111.460 Shells per day.
lets compare... simple math here
1.205.000/111.460. thats 10,81 Dolars invested to make 1 Rune per day.
7.496.000/84.480. Thats 88,73 Dolars Invested to make 1 Voucher per day.
for low level playars, candy farm is about 8 Times more expansive,
and thats using the best posible rates for the candy, and the easy way for the isle.
Thanks so much, Colix! You're brilliant
I want to be clear. Your point is made.
For the sake of accuracy though: Running Pudding 12 times earns you 79,968 vouchers, because of the vouchers you make each time you run the Factory for pudding. And 10,633 for the Fruity Delights. Not to mention the 960 daily for the cream. As well as the vouchers for harvesting (sometimes you get more) the orchard (5 per harvest:60) fields (15, per pasture grass: 120), Mills (30x12= 360), and alpacas (93*12= 1116).
And here's the expansion info: You will need 600,000 to buy the 7 extra plots necessary. Though this alters your costs above, because you can uncover a Cotton Candy Deco, a Fancy Flyer Deco and a Carousel deco in the process. So you only need to buy 3 more cotton candy machines saving you 1,200,000 in deco costs. So the costs of expansions on the Candy farm is -600,000. (or in other words, a profit vs what you stated above)
The Expansion cost on the Island: No expansion necessary, because you forgot the farmhouse and the gate and fence again. You only need 1 house lvl 1, and no decos. A savings of 290,000.
So to recap:
915,000/111,460 is 8.21 dollars to make 1 Seashell
6,896,000/93,217 is 73.98 dollars to make 1 Voucher
So to repeat... point made. Just wanted to head off anyone saying the point was invalid due to missing some available data.

Never shopped at WalMart have you sweetie?
Then, the result appears.
Total = Production costs * 160% - happiness
We guess a typing error in the formula (160 instead of 100) or not communicated extra costs...
