Hard Worker event - Tasks & etc...
You may play it crazy way 8| - fighting for the top-5 rank, spending a lot of gold
or
you may play it easy way, just to collect all 20 bonuses on the way - all you need is just to keep machine running at productivity level = 2 points per second (for full two days ;().
You need to collect your crop and feed the machine's funnel.
Machine is going to ask the specific crop, one by one.
Take care and have fun !
Here is the list

Notes
You can see you current number of crop items to speed-up the machine for the next productivity level
by hovering mouse of the machine gauge.
Machine runs the particular crop while you keep feeding it.
If you stop feeding the machine - it halts and waits for the next crop item.
Comments
not accurate , as it is different for everyone. I got corn first, now stuck on apples

Looks like we have different sequence of crop demand.
no you don't
the machine packs all you "put into the funnel", then stops waiting for the next type of stuff to be packed.
you can use only the stuff you are collecting (that is not "packed" yet)

I can't open the event ..I click on it, but won't open..it finished the Jasmine, so then I thought it would open, but it didn't..this happen to anyone else? am I doing it wrong?
Thanx

I am level 65, the boxes have come corn, barley, eggs, and corn is the fourth box. Currently packing barley. My tip is to have a crop of the next box ready to harvest before the time runs out on the current box. I had an idle two hours waiting for my Barley after the corn ran out.
That has happened with a couple of the event vehicles lately, if you go to one of your other farms & open it there, that should unstick it. :thumbup:
It "appears" to be that thing at the bottom that still says 1 day, but I`m not sure why it hasn`t changed to hours yet & you don`t get an exact time when you hover on it like normal....I assume it ends tomorrow morning around the same time the update completed on Friday, but shouldn`t really ever assume anything in this game lol 8|
Click on the event.. Silver bar at the bottom. Approximately 1 day left...
-Y
Edit> Curse you Runs!
Oooh close shave Ya nearly got me that time hehe
the 1day timer I saw , was looking for a more precise timer in hours there is none then I guess
If you harvest the first thing that comes up, it should open the event. For example, if you were lucky enough to get eggs first, it should start the first time you collect from your chickens.
hopefully the farmers above me are in my time zone and are sleeping... i might come 3rd! if i can raise the points per second.. wont last long with eggs though... only have 5 coups and 1 duck shack that will be ready in 40 mins... soooo tired... just want to win one thing.... never won anything before....and top 5 would be close enough to winning in my books...
Edit: soooooooo tired... eggs started... i wonder.. if the timer says 1 day left and it turns to hours when there is less than 24 hours to go, then if i go to sleep now.. will i have enough time to regain my place that i know i will lose when i'm asleep.... will try hold out until duck eggs are ready that should boost my points per second and every harvest until then....
When doing apples if you speed production to get it upto giving you 10 points per second the timer goes down. I had it on 3 hrs 52 mins then pushed it to get 10 points per second and the time dropped to 1 hr 45 mins.
WHATS THAT ALL ABOUT????
Yes the higher the points per seconds does lower the time of harvest. Sometimes you have to use gold to keep up or goes to next item.
If you read the original post about the event in the updates section, it tells you right there that the machine is not in good repair and if you push it harder, you will be penalized.
To expand on previous two answers ......... no, it's not a bug........
It's about TETRIS type mechanics. The longer you go, the faster/harder it gets. The higher your productivity level the bigger the speed up compared to previous level. I didn't watch it closely and calculate exact percentage, but it seems that the first about 5 level-ups rougly corelate to increased productivity. While the higher you go the bigger time cut you get, (much) more than would relate to increased productivit by 1/6, 1/7 etc. The purpose is to push you so hard that you finally "lose" the game and start the new one, instead of going perpetually on L10 till the end. It seems to be different for different products, probably different for individual farm level tiers, so it might be a nice task for further investigation. Knowing the exact behaviour related to "productivity speed up / time cut" ratio would allow you to speculate as staying on lower level might actually at times give you better results then leveling up. Which purely depends on playing strategy, time spent with the game and farmer's goals.
i had a duck coup ready to harvest (380ish eggs) waiting for the next item on the list to start,, i was currently doing cabbages the last crop i could complete was harvested and the timer on the "time until empty/next item was less than what it would take to do another crop so i left the timer to run at its current amount of points per second... (7) the next item on the conveyer belt... the next item i needed to have prepared was eggs.. i had 5 coups and a duck shack ready to harvest... i saw the funnel timer count down to 10 seconds.. saw eggs were next... closed the event window, and counted down from 15... to be safe...15-1000-14-1000-13-1000 etc.. then i clicked harvest on the duck eggs.... then changed to the main farm and clicked harvest on all 5 of my egg coups.. by the time they harvested i noticed i didn't see the event time symbol pop up... so i went into the event window....
magically the current item was corn... not eggs.... 30 seconds ago the next item was eggs then corn, now it was corn then eggs.. i just wasted a duck egg harvest.. which would have given me 300+points and raised my points per second up to level 3-4 right from the get go.. and along with my 5 coups would have given me a nice head start..
you might think this doesn't mean anything,, but i have been playing this event like a madman... i have slept very minimal the last 2 days.. i have spent the entire 2 days awake in front of my pc playing this event setting alarms on my cellphone to harvest asap for max points.. been using all my humus stores.. just to hopefully come top 5.. so for once in this game i can feel like i won something... i cant win daily challenges.. cant win horse racing... this was my one chance... a top 5 place would have been my first win...
now with 3 hours to go (its 4:46am here and ive been playing non stop for the last 14 hours) last night before i went to bed i was in 4th position... when i woke up i was 6th then watched myself slip to 8th... then spent the day clawing my way back to 6th.... no chance now.... i just lost my head start....
i wont be actively playing this event anymore... in fact I'll be taking a break from this game... before this event was started it was stated that " no matter how big your farm, how high in level you are... you could earn prizes"... i did,, but i thought this meant that it could be won by spend more time and effort in game.... but seems all free to play games are the same... micro transactions for gold = PAY 2 WIN... there is no real reward for putting time into this game... for example the first and second place farmers in my level group are almost 10 levels below me.. hard work right? until you see their farms, they have less fields, stables,orchards....less production over all than i do... but they have gold bought production enhancers, (water tower/workshop) they have gold bought fields all upgraded to high levels... and just by looking at their score (almost 250,000 points more than i do in 6th, more than 100,000 more points than the guy in 3rd place... its not hard to work out its lop sided.... once again the match is fixed for pay 2 win.. the side effect of me plying for so long this weekened is i have worked out when the elader board are asleep.. which theyhave been for the last 6-7 hours... their points arent rising.. but they are so far ahead they dont need to... they didnt get so far ahead by spending more time than me... like i said i know when they are inactive, when their points stop rising, how much production they can harvest... it all adds up to gold.
