Obsidian Farm Questions
What can you produce on the farm? I am aware that there is another currency (I think it was called obsidian dollars or something like that) and you can produce some very powerful special seeds. But does it cost diamonds or obsidian to produce these seeds? (By this, I am asking if it is possible to set up the farm in a way so that you can produce these seeds without having to input any diamonds or obsidian into the process.) Is there anything else you can produce on the farm apart from this?
My main priority at the moment is to unlock some level 5 booster badges for eggs and milk and to get those, combined with adding in more duck coops and cowsheds. That's why I am wanting to know if it can help with this, otherwise I will just focus on community building upgrades and look back at a later date.

The end result of this obsidian farm for me is to make special seeds. If I have to use diamonds to get these seeds then this is something I would do later in the game. In the meantime I can still build up my obsidian farm to at least be ready for when I am ready to make the seeds. Cause this farm will take me a long time to build. And you don't need diamonds on the obsidian farm to upgrade your fields for example. But you do need the obsidian to research for each level. Of course your main farm needs the diamonds to upgrade to level 10. But I am not even near that part yet either. So even though I am not really into the obsidian farm, I am still going to slowly get it going. This farm requires a different mind set cause it isn't like the other ones.
It's hard to say at this point if it is worth it or not. I am also a very slow player. It could take me years to even start making these seeds cause this farm isn't really a high priority for me.
I have bought plots when I have 85% off them
You start with a Volcanic Acre where you grow crops.
I grow and sell at the Market hoping to build up Obsidian Dollars.
I will wait until I have a reasonable amount of Obsidian before developing it as the few I know who have working Obsidian Farms never have enough Obsidian
I still have plenty to add and upgrade on the other three farms and they will stay my priority
She not only has ostriches and a lizard that changes color, but also an Orca tank.
After that, I'm not sure, I just stated the farmhouse upgrade myself
first of all.... its boring!!!!!
I mean everything takes a lot of time and obsidians of course
when you open the obsidian farm you will see this here
basically... you have to do all these researches one by one
in order to build a field for example you need to make the research first
every research needs at least two days
when you complete the first row then the second one will be unlocked, same with the next one etc. etc
there is no bank to exchange money so you have to be very careful how you are spending them
I suggest to build your facilities with gold cause they are cheaper (at least at the beggining)
otherwise you will be broke very soon and the only thing you can grow for free is tomatoes every 10 minutes
the best way to make money is to complete contracts (here is an example)
ti needs a lot of patience , at first it goes at a turtle pace (very very boring and frustrating)
when you build the last one , the green house
then you can start making special seeds for the obsidian farm to help you grow more tomatoes and sage and what ever it is needed (you have to unlock it of course with a research)
special seeds require diamonds, water and the baskets we collect (like when we make special corn in our basic farms) we need only 6 diamonds
here is an example for special tomato seeds
in the greenhouse you can also make seeds for your basic farm
like obsidian corn seeds , obsidian corn seeds XL and XXL (and other seeds)
for these you need from 3 to 45 diamonds (depending on the seed you want) , special corn seed (from your basic farm) and dung from the obsidian farm
but this one... its still locked cause it needs 10.000 obsidians for research
and you can also make obsidian humus using diamonds (10-15), humus from your basic farm and obsidian leaves (this one also requires research)
and last but not least...
you have to make all the researches you see for your basic farm
you have to make one facility of everything I think to level 10 but its not only the diamonds you see
you need to make the obsidian research first (15.000) and it lasts 12 days!!!
and then you can unlock the upgrade with diamonds to level 10
here is an example
as you can see...
you have to do this with one field, one chicken, one pig , one cow
and then you can unlock the next row (duck, donkey, goat) etc etc
you have to make all of these (some day...) so you can buy in the end the remaining land in you farms
obsidians are never enough, as you can imagine
cant tell you more about this farm only...
good luck and patience!!!
Thank you ever so very very much !!!
That was certainly very helpful, to know what to expect.
And that after the 1st upgrade, not many diamonds are needed.
Considering how long it took to get the obsidian to start the 1st research, I can only imagine on the rest.
I think a lot of tomatoes are in my future
at least you are correct about the diamonds. you dont need them to play the obsidian farm
only to make the upgrades on your Main farm and Gourmet farm ... when the time comes of course
in the botany laboratory (or what ever is called)
and you need diamonds (15-20-30) simple food (10 of each) and obsidian leaves (32-44-60)
I havent unlocked it thats why I forgot about it
apart from the research you must make to build it (as everything else of course) you need another research (as you expected !) to make the obsidian food
you need 10.000 obsidians and 6 days to unlock it
and then you can make the food you need
Thank you very much for the information. It is very useful.
I did one research on everything before doing the second research, and moved to the third tab when I was able.
I am steadily stocking up on obsidian feed and seeds now. It all moves along at a good pace once you get started.
I did take my ostrich pen back out because it was hard to keep up with feed in the beginning. Have been playing without it for quite a while with no repercussions.
I'm on level 118, but still not getting obsidiants. Only diamonds from events. Why? Do I need to wait till new farmers league will start?
Like Heather I cannot remember.
Obsidian farm tab - all required except Dragon Fruit, Lizards and Orcas (botanist workshop can also come after the conservatory)
3rd tab - this is what it's all about for me. I have made a start.
There may be other paths but that has been mine,
(Selling ostrich Feed is profitable Production costs are huge and I need a lot of decos))
