    Some of my Cooperative members named their Island farm as 'useless farm'
    hahahaha

    There is not space enough for it, else I would call mine "impossible mission"

    Still not interested in the Island Event. Takes too long and causes me to use way too much gold. Just another addition (along with the horses) that I'm not interested in.

    OK SO WE GET LIBRARY GOLD BOOSTERS, BUT EVENT TIME REDUCES FROM 35 DAYS TO 28 DAYS!
    SERIOUSLY GGS, I MEAN SERIOUSLY?!!!!
    even in 35 barely a bunch of ppl could even get the pearl deco, cowshed is gold dream anyway. now 50 mil shells in 28 days?!!!! this is getting beyond ridiculous.

    Well, last time, the 35 days was specifically intended to be in case of delays, problems, etc. Much like we did in fact have (i.e. rollback) so they wouldn't have to add time for those issues. That said, since I decided to 'chase' the Cow shed this time round, I would have preferred 30!

    I wonder about a somewhat surprising trifle:

    How can it be that my island tells me 27 days and I hear from other players their island tells them 28 days???? ?(

    Very curious for an answer!!

    I agree. I like to look at the co-op farms when watering the tree, and now the bottom half of the farm is cut off when watering other peoples' trees.

    That is indeed interesting. I just checked and my island says 28 days remaining. I wonder if time zone differences might have something to do with this?

    the thing is, it takes more than 15 days to simply just "build" and "complete" the farm. so it matters alot if it be 35 days or 28 days, because in the early days no one can make much a shell anyway only last days are the "shell maker" days. (without the use of gold i mean ofc, with gold everything is lately easy and very possible in this game, u can even ignore island and just buy the gold offer for 1.25mil shells)

    Well, I can tell you Griffith, last time, using only cash to buy, and gold occasionally to rush (like when going to bed), and including the roll back and a mini-vacation, I finished the chapters with a couple days to spare... HOWEVER, my Co-op leader, using 0 gold, finished before I did. So it can be done. But like everything in this game.... you have to have Farm Cash and invest a lot of time. Or you can substitute gold for one of the two (or both).

    wait i think u're maybe confusing me with someone else, I finished the island without any gold and have a guide on forum too. with 70mil dollar only. and i had like 5 days to spare too when finished. but that's not the problem here. problem is i made 10mil or more of my shells in those 5 extra days only. and still didnt even make it near 50mil shells for pearl deco. im not saying island is not "do-able" in 28 days, it is and with 70mils even not anything more. but PEARL deco, that has joined the cowshed now! without gold making 50mil shells in 28 days is simply insane! even if possible have to spend 200mil or so or even more. and im still not sure if it be possible that way either, cause it takes time to build build build. and when finished building before can even make enough slush to reach 50mil, time will run out.

    So I go to the island farm and nothing I already spent so much on is there anymore, that sucks. Buildings, land, animals, their housing, improvements all gone. No fair...

    THX Jarhead, I've read that post from Latten. But that doesn't answer my question, why some players have shown 28 days in the timeslider of their island farm and others have 27 days shown.

    But in the meantime I already got my answer elsewhere. THX.

    Any advice , i really do not want to have to participate in "Island Farm - play or pay for island farm.

    I started Big farm in August and found " island farm a money pit" .My problem is that i always have to wait for the ship to leave as i do not have enough melons,grapefruit ect,so I have only one ship load in a day . I 'm trying to establish my my Perfume farm at moment & hopefully have enough £'sss for Horse Farm.It seems almost compulsory to be forced to play "island farm MONEY PIT " or i will not earn enough to participate Horse Farm or such like!

    Any advice or tips welcome......

    Christmas Greetings
    Trilly2

    wHEN I PLAYED "ISLAND FARM MONEY PIT",NO SONNER HAD I EXCHANGED MY MONEY AS I WATCHED MY MONEY RUNNING LIKE A STOP WATCH--A RACE .

    It is impossible to get cowshed without gold. 90mil shells /30 = 3mil shells per day, it takes 15 days at least to even build farm.

    Let me be clear, Griffith, what I meant by 'finished' is the pearl. I was able to get about 8-9 more millions shells after that in the time remaining, and my Co-op leader finished ahead of me in the rankings at about 60 mil shells. She says with about 5 days remaining (and don't forget the 2 day rollback)

    If you want shells to buy seeds for melons, grapefruit etcI'm sad to say that you are forced to play the island to earn the shells.

    But I'll suggest you only play the island in cheapest possoible way:
    saw and harvest orange and maybe also make some orange fizz to sell.

    Somebody else have some good advise to Trilly2?

    Question is How much "gold" u and ur leader used. I'm clearly talking about 0 gold here, for non-gold players. not 300 gold, not 1000 gold and not 5000 gold. exactly 0 gold.
    Anyways, let's talk mathematics here to be more clear, 28 days, and 50mil shells.
    that's estimate-average 1.8mil shells per day. now if we are talking about 0 gold, it takes exactly 15 days at least or more to even build a full running farm for making tropic stars or fruity flips.
    I don't say there doesn't exist 0% chance to get pearl without gold, yea maybe it be possible if u waste 200mil dollars or 300mil+ dollars but who in the world gonna spend 250mil instead of 70mil (which is enough to finish all chapters and get estimate 35mil shells), just for one 2x2 pearl and like 15mil more shells?!!. but really I dare even 24 7 online players to get 1.8mil shells average everyday in28 days. without using 0 gold. it is not 100% impossible, but is pretty close.

    Hey guys,

    as you already noticed, the island farm runs a bit shorter this time around. This is due to some surprises for this year's winter season, for example the winter event - we can't give you too many details yet. We're sorry for any confusion this may have caused and we already added one additional day to the currently running island farm.

    Winter event ?!
    DID u say winter event?!!
    haa *_*..i m looking forward to it.:):):)8)

    The island updates sound interesting, but I'm really hoping this update doesn't mean the island is returning again already. If so, I'll probably choose to sit it out this time. I have a lot of upgrades to do on my permanent farms and am not willing to have my build slot tied up again for weeks working on a temporary island. The island can be fun but it is expensive, and most of us have other priorities for our build slot and our farm dollars. Also, it's hard to stay motivated to work on the island when all we get are shells which are converted into horseshoes. That horse thing has got to be the most boring, useless game update ever. Frankly, at this point I'm hoping the next horse update includes a glue factory so I can be rid of the thing.


    I really like the Island but I agree. I'm not going to waste my time on something not permanent.

    The rewards are permanent. :) I think of it like the other events that come up (a little too often of late, but still...) I do them, they aren't cost effective, but I like the Happiness on the Deco. Same for the Island. Of course, as stated this one is a little different since I'm flush and I feel like chasing the cow... but then, that's why GGS put it there. lol.

    wow why hide the tree at the top, well your at it why not hide the rest of the things like the greenhouse and gold mine + the tractors at the top to, that way we can forget about them also, o well one mess at a time lol X( X(

    Most people had a harder time with the tree off to the right like it was with the last move. I got used to it being over there, so this does take a little to get used again, but much easier to notice for some people.

    Different places work better for different people though I suppose. I personally liked it out of the way on the right side. Very hard not to see it now, for me.

    That was why i said that with the tree to the right was not a big deal. But you always will have people complaining no matter what you do. It doesn't matter to me where it is as long as they keep it in the same place.
