    Hey everyone,

    So I don't end up with another can't-fill-the-ship scenario, like what happened with opening the island farm/s... if we choose to *try* the packaging machine event, and then decide for whatever reason to stop filling/packaging, is there a penalty of some sort or after-effect we will be stuck with?

    starsie, there are no such strings attached this time.

    If you decide to drop out during the event, there will be no consequences (apart from you missing out on rewards that is :p).

    We've announced the update for this moning CEST, this should not have come as such a big surprise for everyone. ;)

    Cheers,

    Not a surprise, but a disappointment when trying to finish the Candy Farm event at 2:45AM and realizing the game is unavailable. :(

    Time for a little sleep. zzzzz

    Not sure what to think about the new stuff, yet. Am peeved that the update came during the tear down of my candy farm. Yeah, I'm on the US server and it's the middle of the night here, but some of us have vampire schedules. I feel sort of cheated.

    Wow, you guys managed to reload the game the first minute it came back, apparently. It may take the game a short while after all servers are back for texts to be fully loaded by the client.

    Try reloading the game using CTRL+F5, then everything should be displayed just fine. ;)

    Updates seem done! Whew.

    I had the same problem with empty text fields. Logged out and back in again. Works now and am helping George to load stuff.

    Hmmm, it seems like machine only can find out fill one type of products at the same time?

    I have harvested both corn and eggs, but only the corn being registrated?
    Now it could be very interesting and nice to know how much corn I should fill in that box, before it filled up?

    Brian the boxes are bottomless. As long as you keep product supplied it will work on the first box in the line. :) On the meter or when you hower on the silo in market place it wll show you how much time you have till the funnel runs empty. Then the box gets closed and the second one shifts in it's place. :) By supplying in time you extend the time remaining.

    That's funny little event. I think I like it :)

    You're right, Brian!

    Only one box will be filled at a time. The boxes themselves are bottomless, they cannot be filled completely.
    Box changes happen when the funnel runs empty. The more corn you harvested, the more productivity/pressure will be shown on the gauge. Once it reaches high pressure levels, the remaining time for a box will run down quicker and quicker, so the box will eventually change.

    Dara15, move your mouse over the productivity gauge. It will show you how much corn is needed to go to the next productivity level.
    This productivity level is the most important mechanism, as it increases your points per second, but in turn also determines how quickly the funnel will run empty and the remaining time runs out.


    Edit: Kamilcom was quicker. Well explained. Glad you enjoy the event!

    Does the 2 day counter start once you begin the event or is it 2 days regardless?

    The event lasts 2 days, no matter if you start right away or on the 2nd day.

    Your private box timers, however, only start once you harvest the required products. :)

    Farm mania. No thanks. I'll finish this one but won't play again.

    Edit:The silo countdown timer appears to not work properly. I planted WF with more than 2 mins left...but the timer stopped and moved on to the next product before the WF were ready to harvest.

    2nd Edit: With the timer not counting properly, I'm not even finishing this event. What's the point?

    yes, the timer is wrong. I should have at least 10 minutes left for my corn.
    Similar problem for the timers for missions. I don't think they last 30 minutes at all.

    Hey DuffyPoo222,

    thanks for the report! We've had a couple people mentioning that the timers seem to be a bit off so far...

    We're of course already investigating the source of this issue so we can hopefully resolve it soon.

    Regards,
    Steffi

    Ranking reward decorations are granted if you reach the top 5 within your level range:

    Does it mean 'reach ... at the end of the event'?

    I was also sure I had enough time left in the timer to collect my special corn before running out of time, but somehow I run out of time anyway.

    I ran out of time as well, should have had at least another minute. LIke others, I was watching the time closely.

    My farm is small. I just sat in front of the computer just making one harvest after another; it was boring. I may enjoy it more now that I know I have time plant special corn seeds. Will plan accordingly next time, but I do not have a farm for dandelions, so my event has ended.

    So, my next box is for cabbage. But I am not playing this farm frenzy mess any more. If I harvest cabbage will it start it up again?

    Time get's shortenned when a higher productivity level is reached.

    Higher productivity = less time needed for processing goods stored in funnel = the faster you need to supply goods to keep the machine going.

    So:
    • You build up time by harvesting.
    • The moment you move up production level, the remaining time get's adjusted (shortenned).

    It's type of "TETRIS" mechanism involved. The longer you go, the faster it get's. Than you start a new "game" from scratch.

    Yes, I understand that. But I had 2-1/2 minutes left after I planted WF. The timer counted down and was finished before my WF were ready to harvest. THAT should not happen.
