    If it helps, Yakoska did a step-by-step log of the island (without using gold) & she was on Chapter 3:3 on day 17 & she completed all the Chapters by day 21, so it sounds like you should be ok with a week left.... Good luck!! :thumbsup:


    Fixed that for you :)

    I originally chose a gender ambiguous name (based off a place my uncle served in a war) intentionally, so no worries.

    If I move money to my island farm and it gets converted to shells in the end will those shells count towards hardwork rewards?



    E: Thank you Volty.

    No, it will not count for rewards. Co-op player tried once.

    I have lost the farm that has the peacocks and lemurs on it. It was there and I upgraded some things. Where is it now and how do I get it back. And is that where the seeds for limes are made? If it isn't then can you tell me how I get them? Thank you.

    The ISLAND EVENT (1) Tropical, 2) Viking, 3) Northern Lights) is a temporary event, just like the THEME events (Asia, UFO, Hawaii, Camping, Fairy Tale). It only lasts 30 days and everything you have build up in those 30 days will vanish when the event ends.
    If you demolish build up facilities & decos yourself before the island event ends, you get 100% shells; if you let the system demolish things after the event ends you get 50% shells for each building. That's why a lot of players start demolishing things on the island 2 days before the end.

    The island farms are a temporary event, a different one will start soon & the tropical island one will be back in a few weeks. You build them to gather shells (or runestones) & after a month they get deleted. You use the shells to trade for seeds & then grow the seeds in your greenhouse to get fruit for the ship. The ship then gives you horseshoes which you need for the horse ranch to train horses.


    EDIT: Jiesta types faster than me lol

    The temp farms come about once a month, with a bit of time between one ending and the next starting. Should be real soon now.
  • thank you , prince manish
  • I am trying to get the island farm to show and I am having problems getting it up. Please can someone help me?
  • the link for hidden things is not working :(
  • I am having problems with the new Island farm I am unsure how to do a screen shoot as keep getting an watch out message (you can see one under welcome centre)

    I can not re name the farm or the daily challenge as this message pops up and then farm resets :(

    From what I have read not much point putting a ticket in as the farm will be over before they reply, what am I meant to do ????

  • edited 06.09.2015
    Well... if it's one of those pop-up error message, try logging in again, that always works for me. :)
  • I have tried that and am even on a different pc now and same problem
  • if we know when this island event is ending, why couldn't we cut out losses and demolish for the shells??? that's what we are after anyway, for nursery, then the boat.  maybe huge décor.

  • I completed Chapter 1 on the Island recently, did not get The Sand Castle reward in Drop Box, my partner michelle9, also completed Chapter 1, and the same thing, no Sand Castle reward, everyone should check their Drop Box, to see if this is the same situation

    Did you refresh (click yr address-bar and Ctrl+F5) @RICHARDfarmer (AU 1) ? Most of the time this solves the problem!
  • Also make sure you're checking the drop box on your main farm, not the island farm.
  • This is my first Island Farm.  What will we get in return for the items we grew, raised, spent as well as the decorations used and stored?

  • Farmer, unfortunately you will not get very much, unless you get a long way on the islands. When the Island goes, so does all your hard work. $5 million will not last you long, a few days and you might get some shells so you can buy seeds. I know some lower level players do the Islands but under level 70 - 80 I would not bother, unless your going to play almost 24 / 7. Build your farms up before wasting your time and money on the Islands

    Great tip there yorkdevil.
     I let our new co op members know not to event try the temp farms until they have the Flower farm up and are able to make Honey Cream on regular bases.
  • Okay, so I am relatively new to Big Farms...Luv it! But do agree with some of what is being said about the Island Farm. The starting over part is frustrating at best. Personally would like to see if participants could maintian what they had at whatever level they have completed.
    1.  If Chapter 1 is completed and the participant only gets half-way thru Chapter 2; Chapter 2 is reset and beomes the virtual start point next time the event comes around.
    2. Convert all money to shells and keep all buildings, orchards, stables, etc in tact; to be saved for return of the event.
    3. Once all Chapters are complete then option to keep Island Farm open for gold price vs. Big Farm dollars could be offered.
    4. Also for those of us who do not wish to a personal contact to open the airport: Offer the same option: gold vs. Big Farm dollars-but ALL chapters must be completed.
    5. Once airport is opened-this should que for the stables to be established.
    Thanx for such a great game!!

    Everyone would agree that your suggestions would certainly make the island easier, but the point is that the temporary farms are events & you always start an event at the beginning each time, whether you completed it or not the last time.

    Then there is the issues of rankings & hardwork rewards, how would you be able to work out a ranking system if people were starting off with ready built farms & those that used gold and built their farms to the max, would start off at maximium production from day 1 and would collect astronomical numbers of shells/runes/vouchers. Plus they would not need to spend any more gold  to build it all again & GGS wouldn`t like that.

    I don`t really understand your point #5 - The horse ranch opens when you start to get the ship, because thats when you get the first horseshoes, the temporary farms are not available until level 30 & not recommended to open before level 60, so why would you want to delay the horse ranch for that long?
  • I don't even try very hard when the island is there because its just a game com, ok they call it an event, to make you spend real money because your time is limited. If we all ignote the island maybe someone will wake up and realise the only fair way is to give us the island as a permanent feature

    Lots of people manage to complete the islands without using gold, several have posted "How to" guides on this forum, so that others can do it too & I think one managed to do it for as little as 4 million farm dollars, which is outstanding.

    I hope they never any of them as a permanent farm, aside from the fact they are all different & which one would we get? I don`t like any of them enough to want to keep them around. The buildings are way too big & I don`t find it fun trying to make them fit. The Candy farm was better in that respect, but the issues with low profits kinda put me off that one too.
  • 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.
