GG when are you going to let us use other seeds to fill boat???
A problem that was made well aware to them early on. Now that it's over, I expect some adjustments, because if the top placers aren't even getting what they need, there's no chance for the rest of us. We'll lose interest VERY fast.
I had no more than 10 of each, and only 3 of at least one. I have obviously been doing min-loads, and using greenhouse humus when I can. Seems a little early to be out.

I enjoyed the Candy Farm in the beginning. I have turned my Gourmet Farm into a Grormet Fun Farm. I was so very discouraged and disappointed in the candy farm, even when I decided to go ahead and max out the Candy Factory, etc. It is just so unfairly balanced and as others have stated, the payout is so low. I do not see how anyone could have played much more than I did, so I do not think that the candy palace can be finished without gold unless something is done to balance the Candy Farm better. I really feel cheated (out of my farm dollars, my time, cheated because the top levels and prizes are not available to non gold players, from the sugar mill problems, low voucher output, etc. I was so excited having gone further on the prior farm than I had and having saved up 93 million, had my other farms at -92% prod. Now, I feel that I wasted a lot of money that would have been better spent on my other farms. Like I said, I feel cheated. The big prizes for the top 5 will always go to the big gold spenders, might as well just sell them. I work hard, play for many hours and yet, I will never have a chance of getting any of them on any of the events, because I am not a rich person!! So unfair!! They should be available to all! I might buy a little gold, if GGS would put in a gold safety feature. But it's very hard on such a tight fixed income. I like the challenge of the game and I don't want to buy my way through it, no fun for me that way. So for all of you who buy gold, Thank You for supporting the game.
I would like to see the amount needed for each level of the candy palace on the graph, not just the few that were there, just change the color for the main ones. That way I know what to aim for. I also want the tasks, good guide for new players too. The tasks should guide us to a good solid candy farm that would produce well and complete the Candy Palace if lots of playing time is done, etc. It should be possible. Aside from that we all work on our strategy as we become more experienced, and can "win" the temp farm chapters, candy palace, etc. in a variety of ways. I have not heard of anyone finishing the candy palace without gold. That is very sad.
I don't have the final total of my vouchers, because it was not on the final screen--would be nice if it was, and I fell asleep right before it ended, so I could not go back to the rankings to get it either. I ever totaled up the $ I spent wither, but I know it is well over $100 million!
Same here. ;(. And I am missing just a little more horseshoes to train a mate for my best horse. Frustrating. And as Y. I still have have some vouchers, just forgot to buy seeds for them before Benny left.
You can also use the lowest amount of fruit to send ship. (arrow next to fruit)
Heh, you're right.
I realised by day 8 that the candy farm was a fix so didn't play flat out. However I did spend 200 mil $ and about 100k gold by that point. On the other islands I would have secured the 90 mill prize with that sort of investment. as it was I came in 5th with a massive gap between me and the top 4 players who must have spend well over 250k gold.
I don't see this as an issue with a specific playing style. The temporary farms are intended to support the horse training facilities - that's their purpose. You earn vouchers, shells, whatever, to buy seeds to grow fruit to give to the ship in exchange for horseshoes to train your horses. The other temporary farms do this quite well, for an experienced player. If a particular temporary farm - the Candy farm - isn't doing so adequately for experienced players, the problem is with the temp farm, not with anyone's specific play style, in my opinion.
What I'm advocating here is flexible approach. Adjusting my playing to the game conditions rather then trying to force the game into following my playstyle everytime something isn't exactly to my expectations. Change is good, right?
Note: I'm aware that I'm willingly overlooking another connected issue of temp products boat crate for the sake of simplicity.
The rest is to everybodys tastes.
PS: I have not by any means been criticisng any playing style.
Kamilcom, I imagine most of the people posting here are fully aware that the pace of training can be adjusted, but thank you for pointing it out.
What I am saying is that I DO plan to adjust my playing to the game conditions. The Candy Farm payout is inadequate, so I will be adjusting my playing style by not wasting my time and money on it again. I can easily focus on the other temporary farms and have more than enough fruit to fill the ship without bothering with the Candy Farm. I have enough tropical seeds that I could probably not do another temp farm for 3 or 4 months, if the game would give me a way to reset the type of fruit the ship demands. If other players want to continue to do the Candy Farm and accept the lower payout, that choice is theirs.
I do agree with Pingo42 and Tracey40. The players who are active with the horse stables should not have to adjust their style of playing because 1 temp. farm does not fairly payout. Simple and straightforward.
From what I sometimes read I wouldn't consider "fully aware" as a propper description of reality.
Check the Hot Deal now - for a measly 30,000 Gold you can get 1,500,000 vouchers with 1,200 greenhouse humus on top !;(
That make almost 2M vouchers you can spend on your horses for the next week 8|
Enjoy

The architect is mostly coming during the beginning and the end of the temporary farms , so you have no use for him because you either are building up or breaking down your island.
The candy farm is the worst of all because running times are 3-4 minutes (do we have to play 24-7???) and the revenue is very low. I am getting farm tired and find myself playing less and less.
Is this a kids game : no, because parents (if they are smart) will not allow their kids to buy gold. So its a grown ups game....but with all that has to be done at the same time, you should probably quit your day job. Or not because you have to earn money to buy gold.
I know...I don't have to play (or work is a better description, nowadays) on the farm and I am less and less. And I guess I am not the only one. So the candy farm....if not changed, I do not wish for it to return.
28-07-15 : as predicted...the architect
05-08-15 : again the architect.... while still building up the island

The vouchers that you collect during the Candy farm event are yours to stay (same as the shells from the Tropical Island farm, or the runestones from the Viking/Northern Lights farms). You can trade them at Benny Buddler's (pink car) for Tropical seeds for the Greenery.
Watch out: this trader will only be there on your parking for 3 days longer after the Candy Farm event finished.
So you need to trade your vouchers within those 3 days.
