    No stress. Just sell cabbages. Easy. Why fuss soo much?

    Cabbages came up a couple of times for me today. The second time, I had one field of cabbages ready to harvest. Harvesting that field started the timer, which ran down very quickly at which point I was able to start the next item in the queue. If one doesn't want to use gold to skip items (and I don't want to), and also doesn't want to be stuck harvesting something you don't really want, minimal harvesting seems to work quite well to move the queue along. It may not get me the top prizes in the event, but it saves aggravation and allows me to focus on harvesting things I actually want to harvest.

    Yes, this really bugs me. Because it is right now asking for cabbage and I am already overstocked on cabbage, and my pig feed is overstocked too. I am NOT gonna produce cabbage that I have no use for, nor will I use gold to skip cabbage. No rewards for me I guess.
    How dare you call this 'productivity', it is COUNTER-productive for me to harvest a crop that I don't need, while I need other crops.

    Actually, it's not called "productivity", but "no pain, no gain". What a propper name it is, right? :)

    You might have noticed, that most events tend to be "counterproductive" at times, as their primary purpose is to provide more fun and diversion, not necessarily just boringly boost cash flow.

    They dare to call the gauge "productivity" for a simple reason: it is exactly what the gauge is measuring - productivity of packing.

    And lastly, you can harvest just one field of cabage and let the machine move to the next box. Is that too much pain for you? Well, "no pain, no gain". :)

    Oh No! :p Got Dandelions next!! And I got Lambs Lettuce in. Still another 3 hours!!
    Oh well. Thats life.
    Mabye I will just try to last corn as long as possible!
    Don't give up soo quickly MRG1.

    I still don't get it why you just give up because you are max on cabbages? Seriously? Just sell them? You are making some money. what a fuss over nothing.

    Think you went over broad a bit there.

    a suggestion and the way i am doing it, plant something of each in every farm such as wf, corn, cabbages, that way you can go thru the stages of the machine quicker, granted it will not allow you to get the number high such as 9 or 10 per second but after you find what it is looking for you can plant exactly what is needed, i have corn and cabbages waiting to be harvested next, i am using special seeds with humus on each one
    just did something stupid, wasted gold on skipping without thinking, at least i had corn ready to go

    i know it is tougher on the flower farm and gourmet farm but on the main farm it seems more of the products the machine is looking for, by the way, does anyone know if dung is required for the event?, i have about 10,000 eggs waiting in the wings and want to know if i should wait on dung

    by the way here is a list for me that i know it needs
    eggs, corn, cabbage if everyone can add to the list and put them in order that they have done them it would help out

    It will wait there forever. It's like not playing the event. If you use gold to skip it though, it only takes a few seconds. :):):)

    The boxes do change with no input - or it's a bug. I had milk running for 2 hours after I went to bed last night, followed by Barley and Milk again, so I planted special barley for a good start in the morning. When I got up the Barley had gone missing and I was back on milk again. So at some point during the night the machine has decided to skip barley - with no input or gold spent by me.

    Same thing happened to me. I had it processing corn at level 6 with about 30 minutes to go I think and it said the next box was barley and the one after that cabbage. So I planted the barley. When I went to harvest it 3 hours later the machine had moved on to asking for cabbage. Must be a bug.

    Does it sometimes automatically skip the next box? I had it processing corn at level 6 with about 30 minutes to go I think and it said the next box was barley and the one after that cabbage. So I planted the barley. When I went to harvest it 3 hours later the machine had moved on to asking for cabbage. Why?

    I think it only happens if there is an update - I had one this morning and it skipped the box - exactly as you described.... :(

    Hi Hodor,

    I am moving this thread to bug forum & passing on the info to get it checked out.

    I agree Hodor4. I had to get away for a couple of hours so I had everything planned to be ready when I came back. To my big frustration I had to harvest different things. And this also happened to another member in my coop.

    Hey everyone,

    we're unfortunately experiencing a problem that sometimes causes boxes to move on without any input after having been offline for more than a short time span.

    The good news is that we have already been able to reproduce the problem. However, it may still take time for us to provide a fix to the issue.

    As a workaround, you may of course try staying online as long as possible in order to not lose your current crate order. We know this is rather inconvenient, though, and hence hope to be able to provide a fix with one of the next updates.

    Regards,
    Steffi

    Hi Nafaru, Just to let you know that I noticed that the boxes not only change when you're offline, but sometimes even when you're online.
    Today I had an order of paardebloemen/dandelions and I was waiting for the crate to be filled. The next crate showed wild flowers.
    I even put a timer, so I was on time for the crate-change. When I came back to my (still online) computer I had 2 minutes left, but instead of the wild flowers the next crate was for milk.

    I really love the hard worker event and you made it more of a challenge this time with more prizes. Super good job Awesome!!!!! :) I also really love the animation!!!
    My only sadness was that it was started too soon after the Asian Event and I couldn't participate full on, because he wanted corn and I was trying to get rice and cabbage and because the event is sooooo short I won't be able to get too much for him.
    I really wish it were longer like 3 or 4 days.
    I work hard to finish a theme event as quickly as possible and then toward the end of it, I've just got "normal farming" to do. Which for me is starting on either Wednesday or Thursday of the week
    If you won't make it longer, maybe you could start it closer to the end of a themed event.:D

    Either way I love this game and the events are so much fun. Keep it up! :)
    Thank you!

    Boxes are changing even when booted, and I'm back on in less than a minute, if at the pc atm it happens. Not all times I've been booted does it happen, only a couple times this event and first time event ran.

    well today the boxes changed for me too. had eggs running and next was "apples and then eggs", but now after few hours i logged back in game, it is now "eggs, then apples and then wfs" so the sequence certainly changed.
    not sure what is the cause of this, but now I'm certain the boxes "do" change sometimes.

    I was doing apples last night (my www1 farm, only level 46 with 2 orchards so I really don't want them). Today I was supposed to get milk, but no, it got skipped and I'm again doing apples. I'm ready to start throwing them at somebody. I was away about the same time from my skn farm too, but product line there stayed. And it actually run out of the previous product sooner then the www1 farm.

    i also posted this under the no pain no gain posts but thought i would also post again so hopeful someone sees it and if you have any questions about what i am trying to ask for please feel free to in game mail me

    i really hope one of the managers reads this but i will suggest it anyways is there anyway you could please ask the devlopers to add a pop up box to let you know when the timer is done on the hard work event and time to move to the next iteam please it would really help a lot i keep forgeting to always check back and when i collect the iteam i need it no longer has a timer under it

    also thanks for all the great prizes but i think you made it a little to hard even the top person in my level catogroy does not look like they will be able to get the last prize so i would understand if you have to make it like 1 gold mining linces instead of 3 but i personaly like to be able to complete stuff and this right now seems imposble to get all of them thanks for reading this
