    I agree with Moonions Rule. Fireworks at the same times would be far easier, but probably that is why it is not happening. GGS nowadays seems to specialize on confusing & paining us.

    What am I collecting here? I am down to 1 now but I already finished the rat one yesterday.  I see nothing telling me what I am supposed to be collecting.  Not everything is collecting, but I don't see a specific zodiac sign to collect here.  I am confused by this game.

    Update:  So, I collected some wildflowers and got a rabbit, then received the gift to choose from cat charms and fertilizer.  Where do I see what I am supposed to be collecting?





    Next Update:

    Here is the next collection.  It says I have 58 to go, but doesn't tell me what I am collecting.  I am really very confused with this game, lol.  I seem to be making good progress though.

    Not sure why it's not showing for you, but it's supposed to be under the "Day 5 of 15" thing:




    Try reloading and see if it shows up? Might just be a cache issue.

    Thanks, that worked, it is correctly showing now.  Thank you so much!  Suzy

    Well, not so fast I say.   I have been collecting Rabbit chips and it isn't counting them.  Since I reloaded I have collect 8 chips, but still on 58 needed.

    Update:  Cleared my cache and it counted two rabbits collected.

    Final update:  It has counted all rabbits since I reloaded the game and cleared my cache.  So make sure you all do that if you don't see what is happening in the game, lol.

    Mine's gone wonky, too.  Needed 2 rabbit chips.  Collected 4 rabbit chips.  Then it said I needed one.  Cleared my cache, and now it's back to me needing 2.  Head is spinning here. LOL!

    This morning and again now after work when I choose the chip for 290 gold the wheel spins to give x number of bonus harvests for that chip.  However....regardless of the number of bonus harvests given, it is only giving ONE bonus harvest.  At 1 million FD per spin, that's not good.  At first, I thought is was an issue with the countdown display since it usually goes from 3, to 2 to 1 then disappears.  Now it displays the correct total, (11 on the last spin) but then after only one harvest it disappears.  So I checked the CNY tent to make sure bonus was still in place before harvesting the second harvest.  Sure enough it says no bonus is active.  

    Please let me know what's going on before I spend anymore gold or farm dollars.  Since I have limited game time since I work full time I really need these bonus spins to reach all 20 daily rewards.

    Some buildings are multiple-harvest; Windmill, Silo, Composter, Labratory. A level 9 Windmill, for instance, is up to *32 harvests* with one click. That would drain a 11 spin booster with 1 click.

    So you have to be careful what you're harvesting with a booster. Harvesting a field, cowshed, pigsty, apple orchard, cherry orchard or a chicken coop will use your booster(s) one at a time.  The Silo, Composter, Windmill & Laboratory will use them all at once.

    Hope you got it fixed Artful, it is so frustrating when it doesn't work like it is supposed to.

    I do have a question regarding the end of a challenge.  I have finished the rabbits and it's locked down and says come back for another challenge, which will be day 6.  So, if I still produce, and collect, is it collecting the animals that come with the collections and adding those chips to my overall happiness?

    Yes. Even if you get all activity rewards for today, it is still good to collect chips, because they add to the happines of the final reward - dog statue. You have to get enough chips, so all 12 animals are filled 100%.

    Last year Chinese New Year was great.  Please do not fiddle with it too much.  Only change may be adding VHP somehow. 


    PLEASE DO NOT BREAK CYN EVENT

    Thanks, SQ!  I'm just going to farm and end up with whatever. It will go to Greta in all likelihood anyway. But, hey, it's free, so there is that. :)

    This is not accurate Southern.  On Sat and Sun the number of harvest worked for Silo, composter, windmill, and lab.  In fact, I golded out Composter several times to take advantage of the bonus harvests since that one gives the most chips.  


  • It doesn't look like it will be possible for me to get all the chips, we are at the halfway now and I have 4 done, two almost done but the rest are below 50% most in the 30's and one, the snake only 16% I have done a lot of farm work but I guess it is not a full time job.
  • dchen1 (US1)dchen1 (US1) US1 Posts: 993
    Snake requires too many.  When I collected 600 snake chips, it only increased by 3%
    Rat increases by 30% when I collect 600.

    I just had the fireworks booster on the AU1 server.  The timer stated that I had 12:48 left but all of a sudden the timer disappeared.  I was only getting 2 zodiac chips from wilds while it was running.  A stuff up I presume!!

    Something still not working here.  :(
  • My timer disappeared suddenly on the US server, it had about 12 minutes left and then was gone, I can't see that it does much, but then it is hard to see what is going on anyway, we don't know how many we need and it is infrequent that I can catch how many I get.  At least that way if there is a glitch we don't know about that either.

    Blow me down, popeye tossed in a few cans of spinach for me this morning.  Check out the time left on this day below.  Day 8 just started and I am already finished.  I see all rewards won, check the last three and they were there, will check the rest later.

    This is how it went.  I had all
    6 lvl 4 cow sheds full run ready
    2 pig sties lvl 5 full run ready
    2 chicken coops lvl 6 full ready
    6 fields lvl 6 of wheat with regular hummus ready
    1 coop apple orchard lvl 6 full ready
    2 regular apple orchards lvl 6 full ready
    Mill lvl 5 full ready with cow feed
    Composter lvl 4 full ready with 8 hummus ready
    Silo lvl 4 full ready with 70 fertilizers

    When the new day began the game had not switched the day from 7 to 8.  I cleared my cache, nothing happened.  I reloaded the page, nothing happened.  I then logged out and back in, still nothing happened.  I cleared my cache once a again and reloaded the page once again, then it showed day 8.

    I looked and fireworks were on, I collected everything and I am done for the days collections already.  Everything else is just icing on the cake.  I also wanted to say I don't know what I was collecting for the day because it didn't tell me.  I do know I got tons of SNAKES.  So those of you who are not getting the snakes maybe this day is your chance to.

    I can confirm the booster with x number of harvests is buggy, and even if what Southern says is true it just means the booster is worthless cause you cannot spin up enough x harvests to cover the silo/windmill.

    Frankly, the booster is very inefficient for gameplay in that I have to open and close multiple windows, do 1 or a few things and go back and boost again multiple times... it needs to be more streamlined

    I have a question as I've never used it.  Is the booster free to use daily, or is it one time free, and that's it?  Thanks!

    Seems I'm in a minority in NOT liking this event.  That's ok, the good thing about this game, and even this event, is my not working on it doesn't hurt anyone else.   
    And that's where the good part ends.

    What I DON'T like…
    1.  I just don't get it.   How do you work TOWARDS anything here?  Seems it's just log in and play and a whole bunch of extra junk will fly out of everything and you win prizes.   But that's not really a goal is it?   It's not like oh I better push piggies or anything.    

    2. Because this has rolled around in the past I already know the deco I end up with will be huge, mostly empty, and ugly.  Not once have I ever actually put it on my farm.  So no real prize as far as I'm concerned.

    3.  Fireworks…. several members of my coops keep sending out emails with all the times.
    First of all my life will NEVER revolve around this game.   I play when I have time and that's it.  Sometimes I get lucky and they are going, most times not.  Don't care.  
    Besides times…. the clock on the farms makes no sense to me at all and I'm NOT about to go trying to convert times on my UK farm, my US farm and the International farm.   Again I have a life. 
    Suggestion;  why not just post "hours until the next one"  Simple.  NO time translating, no ditzy dumb day/night graphic, no bugs. (hopefully.)

    4.  Seems CONSTANTLY some window pops up with spinning wheels saying "you won this…"  And I have to wait for all the spinners to stop, click ok, just to continue playing.    When one is doing a mission this is particularly annoying.   I STILL don't know what I "won."   I get to see spinners twirl?  Joy.

    So…. playing as I normally play, looks like in the next week or so I MIGHT fill the rat.
    MAYBE the horse.   Doubtful anything else.  No clue exactly what produces what chip, doesn't seem like there is any real goal to "try for" here.  I'll end up with another basically empty and huge graphic that will only sit in storage until I get around to deleting it.

    So this is an event for those who have nothing else to do all day, every day but sit on this game,
    OR for those who spend real cash to push things to in effect buy your prize.
    It's not a "prize" if you have to buy it.   And not win able if you only play this game as an occasional past time.


  • @artful (US1) As far as I know there are no free spins on the Zodiac wheel, I am fairly sure I paid even on the 1st one. You just get a choice between cash (random) or gold (you choose the animal) & the cash price varies depending on your player level.

    @kwk (US1) @archerbob (AU1) You get 1 chip per harvest & the point value of the chip depends on what you harvest. When you harvest your mill, silo or composter, you will notice you get several chips & that is 1 for each harvest (each batch produced) & in the mill, the chip value varies depending on the feed being produced.

    When you use the Zodiac wheel, you get double the number of chips for the number of harvests specified, 1 chip is the regular one & the other will be for the animal selected on the wheel. So to get the most benefit from the bonus harvests, they are best used on the highest value harvests during fireworks & would be wasted on something like chickens. Cherries are good & some event seeds are very good - if you have seaweed items you can get very good points during fireworks & using the zodiac wheel, because you are getting triple points for twice as many animals.
