Ship keeps asking for fruit

Hi,
The last time the tropical Island event was here, I did not play the Island (didn't donate certifcates or anything) I thought that when not playing the Island the ship wasn't supposed to ask for island fruit.
Well not only did it keep asking for viking fruit; now that the island is long gone, the ship still keeps asking for viking fruit.
I am running really low on some of the fruits, which basically means my ship is stuck for hours, I am running low on horse shoes etc.

Is this a bug or am I misinformed :(?

    we would all like to know the answer to that one ,if they told us WHEN one of the islands was coming back it would be easier to swallow that pill

    No bugs here. The boat keeps asking for the fruit from the temporary farm you last opened. It will keep asking until you open another temporary farm.

    The reason to why we haven't had a temporary farm in a while is that GGS plan to give us a new one in the next update. It was supposed to have already come but it's been delayed.. :(

    My guess is that we will, at least, have to wait until the cooperative challenge is over..

    If the new Candy Farm holds true to form with the other temp farms, I'm just assuming that the ship will immediately start asking for whatever it is we're supposed to provide as soon as we open it, correct? :huh:

    If it hold true to form, the moment you do the first sidebar task starting the temp farm, the ship will switch to whatever fruit is being offered on that temp farm. Of course it does also supply you with 2 of each type of seed in the intro sidebar tasks to help... a little. I recommend saving up some greenhouse humus.

    In addition to Yakoska's tip about saving up on greenhouse humus, it also helps to send off the ship first and immediately after starting the island. That gives you at least 6 hours to get some seeds from the first tasks.

    It seems that some players got an e-mail about it and some players didn't. I was among the latter.

    From the e-mail:

    "The county fair is coming! Have you discovered any of the candies hidden around your farm yet? They're a taste of what's to come at the upcoming county fair and candy farm available from level 30!"

    Still trying to figure out the connection, if any between the County Fair and the Candy Farm.

    You'll be able to see the connection as soon as the update hit and the event is started afterwards. :)

    Hmmmm, that could sounds a little like the next update is just around the corner?
    - and me who just 4 hours ago have started a 40 hours upgrading process... - I hope there's time enough to finish that (whitout skipping for gold!), before the next update take place.

    It is close, but not close enough for you to worry about the construction you just started.
    It will come soon, but neither tomorrow, nor friday. There will also be an update announcement at least 1 day, if not more ahead.

    If I had to rate the release of the candy farm on a scale between now and the end of time, I would put it somewhere around here:

    Now <--- Very Soon --- Soon --- Soon-ish(er) --- Soon-ish
    > End of Time

    TL;DR: We'll inform you at least one day in advance of the update, although starting times of events of course vary from the actual update time.

    That's why the coon kept rolling about in the office. Suddenly it all makes sense!

    Alright fine. There will be an announcement regarding the update within the next 7 days.

    That better? Will you stop force-feeding the coon? Will you? :huh:

    Thank you a lot :)
    Even this is bad news for us who not longer can deliver greenhouse fruits to the ship, and therefore hope for a very soon coming temp farm, this info is very valueable for us. :)
    Now we can doing longtime upgradings until at least tuesday next week :)
    - hmm , I have 2 more training arenas I will use the waiting time to upgrade :)

    Is it too late to reeducate that coon? Get him off the cat food and candies and on to his natural diet, without him revolting?:S
    According to wikipedia, raccoons eat 40% invertebrates, 33% plant material and 27% vertebrates. And we all know invertebrates means bugs. Too many of those crawling around and that coon won't touch them.X(
    He can have cat food instead of the plant material and vertebrates, as long as eit eats his share of those bugs!
