island farm completion?

g'day farmers

just wondering, is it possible to complete all 3 chapters and side tasks without spending gold(cash), and is there anyone out there who's done it????

I have completed all 3 chapters with 0 gold spent, althought I didn't finish all side tasks. I think that they are not worth doing, since you only get 10k or less sheels.

wow, that must of taken some doing, well done, maybe you could share a few hints

Griffiths has published his tips for finishing all three chapters (not the side tasks). You need no more than $100,000,000 and ZERO dollars

when i have at least 200 mill in the bank i will try it, but until then doing the island only for shells

Well yea I can share some hints. Firstly you need to upgrade your bank to level 6 or 7. Then you can start with buying further land and building houses. If you want to complete all 3 chapters you need 10 houses level 4. You need 3 fields level 3, and silo, farmhouse level 3. Everything is in demolishing and building new objects. For example when you have to produce dung, just build 8 or more peacock coops(all level one, they are not worth upgrading since they require 5 more workers at each stage) Also my suggestion is not to try complete all the side tasks, because you will lose loads of money and time(I'd suggest you to complete only those who give you premium humus and premium island fertilizer) It's nice if you prearange all buildings you need for next task, so I'd suggest you to visit this[http://en.board.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/showthread.php?117261-The-island-farm!]

I would love it if we could keep our islands..I spend gold on it and would spend more if it was something we could keep. I can keep up with four or five farms ..I am sure..and it just keeps my interest more..I might even stop playing Mahjong while farming if we had a lot to do. I really like my island farm but I would give choices ( anyone who did not want to play with another farm would not be required to) I hope you would consider keeping islands so our interests can be kept in our farming game..you would make more gold sales and the islands are cool. Thanks guys!!! katmajik

I am not going to be able to finish the 3rd level. should I go ahead and demolish as many of my buildings as i can in order to get more shells?

And all this info is to be found in Griffith's tips for finishing all 3 chapters of the island. See the link Samty gives us in his post no #4 here above!

Actually you dont need more then 8 houses, 6 lvl 4 and 2 lvl 3, to complete the island.
And plannig ahead is the key to complete the island and not, like some sites suggest, just following the tasks.
Also, this site gives the advice to upgrade buildings is better then building new ones, this is not true either.
You need a lot of dung and a lvl 1 peacock(5w) gives 210 dung= 42/worker, a lvl 4(20w) gives 320 dung= 16/worker.

Working ahead, you can complete the island with 50-60mln, but it consumes a lot of your time.
With a lvl 2 field, a lvl 3 mill, a lvl 1 peacock, a lvl 3 silo and lvl 2 orchards you need to harvest:
1100 x peanuts, 800 x peacocks, 254 x mango's etc. and these numbers do not include the numbers requered by the tasks.

I am only level 70, and was only able to complete the second task. It was difficult doing it and upgrading my main farms, which I felt was more important, long term.

However, one thing I would have done differently is considered buildings to be temporary structures. Unless you have gobs of money to throw at the farm, and don't require tough choices, it's imperative to knock stuff down after it's useful, and then put it back up if it becomes necessary again. Once I did that, my progress was much better. I learned it too late in the process.

Obviously, this implies being careful about certain upgrades. The silo, sugar mill, and bank are good upgrades, since you'll always keep them. At least one Lvl 4 peacock is good too, because it's efficient and you'll never want to be without it, because of the manure production. Houses of course are permanent, because often times the number of people is the limitation. Most other stuff should not be upgraded too much, and just discarded when it's not useful for the current quest. Then add it again if it needs to be. It's so much better than just keeping 'dead wood' for quests.

That's my suggestion, anyway. I wish I discovered it sooner, but I don't think I'd be able to finish the third one anyway at only level 70. But, the second would have been a lot easier.
