Millions in Coin + FREE RCs - even Baby Farmers can make

 post by Liz Cissell 

Playing with NO RC Moles… So Sweet

~~~ & Perhaps… A NEW Ask? ~~~

.

..

A Big part of finding our ‘Harvest Rhythm’ is selecting our night time & away crop. Something slower growing that we don’t want to wait for by day. Thanx to Kerry Noble & some well placed questions… we find that sweet potatoes are, well… Pretty darned AweSome - Wooo Hooo
.

Mole Habitats are THE Big, most Awesome awaiting…
and they are NO RCs to boot. What I have found is a Fab way to level up quickly for the FREE RCs PLUS pick up boodles of Trophies & some really Big Coin. I simply plant sweet potato on ALL 3 of my farms when I am turning in for some sleep OR when duty beckons & I’m away for a while. The rest of the time I farm as usual… but this gives me a Nice stockpile to work with each day.

.
I have 5 NO RC Moles sitting out on AUTO which racks up some Sweet XP & coin

1 sweet potato …… 1 XP

1 mole meat ……… 1 XP

Grand Total - 2 XP per make / x 5 Moles = 10 XP per minute

600 XP per 1 hour + 105,000 coin

158,400 XP per 24 hrs + 2,520,000 coin

So, as we can see… Mole Meat does have it’s place for an easy cheesy level up every day or 2 BUT we want to go further & turn that mole meat (yuck) into BIG, like Huge XPs & Coin. How do we go further? Let’s peak at What habitats eat mole meat… it’s pretty crazy cool!

1: Meerkat Hab / MeerKat Fur

2: Halloween Werewolf / Werewolf Fangs

3: Snowy Owl Family / Owl Feather

4: FireFighter Bush Dog / Reflective Tape

5: Iron Owl Chefs / Iron Owl Feather

6: Cool Vultures / Vulture Feather

7: Wolverine Hab / Wolverine Stencil

8: Stoat / Stoat Pattern

9: Peacat / Peacat Print

10: Turkish Angora Cat / Angora Cat Hair Ball

11: Winged Spirit Fox / W-S-F Stencil

12: Christmas Owl / Christmas Owl Print

13: European Eagle-Owl / European EO Egg

14: Serval Hab / Serval Yarn

15: Badger Family / Badger Hair

16: Ethiopian Wolf / Ethiopian Wolf Totem

17: Pallas’s Cat /

18. Black-Footed Ferret Habitat / B-F Mole Sticker

IF we set the above habitats out on Auto, thanx to all those FREE Ops we have been making in the Weird World events… we have Over 250 more Trophies, 1,250 Free Gas & untold millions in coin to be made Bumping! And of course… those millions in XPs are going to add up to HUGE FREE RCs. Sweet as peaches, right? Or… Sweet Potatoes

A NEW ASK???

Sweet potatoes are a possible FAB New Ask. I am raking in so many XPs & fast level ups Just running moles & a few items that eat mole meat here & there. Consider ASKING for sweet potatoes, whip up some Mole Meat, hit AUTO on a few animal habitats to build some stockpile to play with & get ready to Bump till the cows come home - Yay

NOTE: Try it for FREE

I gave you a few examples on how nice just mole meat in given habs adds up, but as always the REAL magic is in chaining. I used my Snowy Owl Family to whip up owl feathers, just for some examples but of course, we can do this (& More) with some of the other mole nibbling habitats. BUT IF you aren’t certain mole meat is for you, here’s an easy FREE way to find out.

Pick up a NO RC Mole or 2 & then Pick up a FREE Snowy Owl Family from the Classic Mission ‘Snowmeo & Hooliet’

Check out a bit of the FUN I had with the Owl Feathers… & there’s so much more I haven’t even gotten around to yet ~ Woo Hoo. I shared 4 workshop makes, 3 are 1001% FREE BUMPS, 1 is a 2 step chain, but ALL ROCK! Here are the stats IF you ASK for FREE sweet potatoes. My stats are higher because I prefer to grow them & save my FREE Asks for zucchini & spinach… but the example is looking at FREE, ok? (Growing them makes the XPs to level up with go Wayy up!)

1001% FREE Bumps

1: Quill Pen / Workshop

….. Pays 2351 + 37 XPs per 1 click make

2: Owl Clock / Workshop

….. Pays 6058 + 74 XPs per 1 click make

3: Feather Engagement Ring Box / Workshop

….. Pays 7033 + 84 XPs per 1 click make

Fun 2 Step, simply toss to rice & set White Peacock out in AUTO

White Peacock is FREE in the Classic Mission ‘Island Order’

White Feather Lamp / Workshop

….. Pays 10,025 + 102 XPs

There are far too many bumps & chains from the habitats above to begin to itemize here… so I will look at each habitat as it’s own post, ok? There are some Really fantastic Bumps & 2-Steps awaiting us. So, begin by growing Or ASKING for some sweet potatoes & feeding your NO RC moles… & smile knowing - even our Moles are lovable here on the farm, right? Whoda thunk? Many Thanx again to our awesome friend Kerry Noble for the inspiration to play with these tators ~ Yay

Now, it’s your turn… tell us in the Comments… what is your ‘away’ crop”? And how do you play with that crop? Please, inspire us… there are sooo many items to choose from Be sure to shout out

There’s Lots of other Fun stuff on my farming to-do dance card. We’ll continue to bring Fun helpful strategies here, as often as possible. Until we meet again, remember Farming is about baby steps, so enjoy the adventure.

For Today, have an Awesome day & as always…

Mastering the Harvest for FREE RCs

a post by Liz Cissell

Finding our Harvest Rhythm… Mastering the Harvest for FREE RCs

.
This article was originally posted 4-2019. Finding our harvest rhythm is still the name of the game, my 'makes' are constantly changed every few days. This site is about using our harvest time to get outrageous high Coin, cool FREEbies & best of all... FREE RCS - woot. 
 . 

I have kinda drug my feet on this post, because it’s easily the 2nd Most Important thing about rocking the farm… but a challenge to explain because each of us will have a different rhythm. Different Rhythms because… we Each have different schedules & lifestyles, time we can harvest – how long & how often… different levels of farms & assets to work with.

.

To find our Rhythm… we have to consider 1st our priorities… what is THE most important things to us & how can we mesh those goals with our lifestyle. Why sort our goals? Very simply… to avoid the greatest pitfall on the farm – going in SO many different directions at once that we end up sitting in 1 place.

.

The Best way I know to explain Rhythm, since it is different for each of us, is to explain mine & you can use the Basic Recipe ( hahaa yes – I cook also ) applied to your own situation to find your Harvest Rhythm.

.

Consider the ‘time’ you have to farm, how often can you harvest. This is the most important because it decides what crops we will plant, the Chains we want to make. I am a retired ol farm gal… so I have the luxury of popping in as often as I like as a rule to harvest. Even IF busy with other things, I can swing a drive by. So – I can do a lot of ‘fast grow’ crops’ that wouldn’t be practical for those that only harvest 2x a day.

.

Since my priorities are

a) Rolling trucks for the FREE Vouchers… I always make sure I have what is needed & replace what I am using to be ready for next truck. Main farm fields are used for these crops.

.

b) Making certain I NEVER have to worry about running low on coins… I Always plant eggplant on ALL land fields / all farms at night & use garden ranch by day to grow cotton. I plant Clover on MF while I harvest trees – leave 3 bears & 2 macaroni penguins on AUTO for honey, salmon & macaroni hair, then do clover 1-2 times per day more & Always have a stockpile of Happy Macaroni Penguin Sculptures to sell off - Cha Ching. Choose 1 item to be YOUR Cash Cow. IF your cash items involve a Chain (several steps) then you will have a 2fer - $s PLUS AUTO XPs for leveling up.

.

c) I use my land fields on water ranch for crops I need to complete Team Book items. I will do a separate post on this because it’s 1 of THE Biggest Winners on the farm. I divide water fields 50/50… dry half & trade half.

.

For me personally… I run the balance of my production much like ‘mini (global type) events because my Greatest Priority is… FREE RCs for fast level ups, BUT – I have to be certain it Doesn’t interfere with my other priorities… Rhythm. I also like playing ‘mad scientist’… experimenting with chains & Fun yet to be discovered. Basically, it means deciding on Chains I want to do, produce the different smaller steps today to focus on completing the Chains tomorrow. So every day or 2 – I’m actually doing a Chain ‘finale’ or ‘mini event’ for a day or 2 using the stockpile I made days before.

--- Example: leave bead gears on making magnetic beads for a few days & then spend a day growing Rainbow Gerbera for Magnetic Cubes – HUGE Payday

.

d) For this – I keep a LOT of various gears & habs sitting on the MF (main farm) on Auto building BIG XPs to level up Plus stockpile to be used tomorrow.

~~ For example / 2 Bead Machines / 3 Stir Fry machines / 3 Cows / 3 DraGoats / 3 Flower Packer / 3 Bears / 2 Macaroni Penguin / 2 Cheese Masters / 2 Oil Press / 1 Lasagna / 2 Stir Fry / 1 Nut Mix / 2 Turkeys / 2 Meat Grinder

Above on Auto… 31 XPs per minute / 1860 XPs per hour

.

I know many farmers that have JUST their ‘Cash Cow’ to Keep It Simple, which is great also! As long as we are ‘producing we are leveling up & getting those FREE RCs

.

So, Please tell us about YOUR Rhythm. What level are you & HOW do you work your farm? Share what you are comfortable with… maybe just that 1 chain you enjoy making most. The more of you that respond… the more other members can benefit. You can PM (personal message) me OR simply write a post here, whichever you like, OK?

.

An Awesome day to All & as always…

Happy Farming

Bumps Paying 501 to 1,000 Coins

Lucky Draw Mission Tips and Tricks

 a post by Kiyoko Ball

.

 

 

PRO TIP: Dice can be carried over from one game to the next! 

 Here you see that I was able to carry over 35 dice saved from the last game. 

 It usually takes 120 or so dice to complete ten rounds, sometimes less. 

 

How it works: Dice can be carried over to the next round by completing the mission activities of your choice and converting the points to dice. Do not use the dice to roll around the board. 

All unused dice appear in the next round of the Lucky Draw, similar to Bingo tokens.

 

Accumulate dice by completing selected mission activities for a couple of rounds, then choose when to use them to complete all the spins for a reward.

Since I first accumulated around 60-70 extra dice I have been able to complete the Lucky Draw every time if most of the mission activities are completed during the current round. 

I then carry over the extra for next time.

 

Hope this helps!

Aquarium Tips & Tricks

a post by Kyoko Ball
.
photo submitted by Kim Pennisi  Many Thanx Kim 

.   

.

What do you like about the Aquarium? 

 I have learned so much about the aquarium, now at level 14 with 28 fish. I use it to produce RC fresh water and salt water fishing nets for the missions, as well as generating lots of yellow vouchers.

.

 Feeding the aquarium 1-2 times daily with a stash of fish food is easy and provides rewards from gift boxes; some prefer feeding 2-3 times daily with minimal effort.
.

Setting the aquarium to auto mode collects rewards as soon as they’re available, though it doesn’t auto-feed hungry fish.
.

Progress is slow, especially if not consistent; completing one fish can take a long time, but it only requires a click once or twice daily and keeping ahead of crops for fish food.

.

For beginners, the aquarium consumes many resources (RC and crops), making it challenging initially; there are no coin rewards or farming XP, so creating greenery and food crops is a coin drain.

 .

Expanding the water ranch to a desired size makes it manageable; each aquarium level-up provides 1 RC, offering a slow but free RC source for farmers.

.

 Playing daily can yield a couple of RC monthly, with reports of earning 5 RC over time from level-ups, offsetting the initial cost (e.g., reaching level 5 covers the aquarium purchase).

.

 Feeding twice daily is a routine for some; keeping large fish food on hand is useful, with every other water crop as an ingredient for it.

.

Completing decorations not requiring RC enhances the tank’s appearance; users like how these look on the tank bottom, while RC-requiring decorations are worked on slowly with extra weekly RC.

.

There’s uncertainty about whether crowned fish continue giving scales; some sell them when they reach maximum potential (no more XP), replacing them with new fish, as they still provide release rewards even when hungry.

.

  The platinum guppy is often needed for decorations; decorations drop to the tank floor after being made and can be rearranged, though some prefer leaving them where they fall. 

.

 Aquarium XP per hour is a strategy: Lemon Tetra fish (1000 greenery, no RC) give 3 XP every 2 hours, offering the best XP/hour for farms open most of the time; calculate XP/hour based on your schedule to choose fish.

.

 Fish top off at 1000 energy but show hunger around 350 energy; feeding below 250 energy avoids wasting food energy.

.

 Water crops for large food bags have longer growth times, so planting them overnight maintains supply, alongside greenery for new fish purchases.

.

Fish food costs: small bags (250 energy, 570 coins), medium bags (450 energy, 600 coins), large bags (750 energy, 750 coins); medium bags appear most cost-effective (two medium at 1200 coins vs. one large + one small at 1320 coins for similar energy).

.

When fish reach maximum potential, they stop giving XP; selling them for new Lemon Tetras restarts XP gains, with Aquarium Boxes as rewards (similar to Special Delivery boxes, often low value). 

.

The collection aspect is less appealing to some, but stockpiling food and feeding with a few daily clicks supports steady progress (e.g., reaching level 5 with all Lemon Tetras).

.

Animal Parade House - More FREE

a post by Kiyoko Ball 

.

.
.

New to Family Farm and the Animal Parade house? Short on RC and trying to decide what to do about the collection stations found inside?

What does the Animal Parade actually DO...?

Well, save your RC and just use a single Current Parade station forever and ever.
There is never a need for more than one station.

Recommended items from the Parade Store:
PIGGUS PUMPKINUS COOP and all the CRAB CAVES you can find.

PIggus Pumpkinus is better than regular Pig Coop because it is faster and uses quicker and cheaper harvest Halloween Pumpkin instead of Sweet Potato. But you can request Sweet Potato as a free gift so this may not be a factor for you.

SO... WHAT IS THE ANIMAL PARADE?

The Animal Parade gives vouchers for putting completed animal habitats "on parade". Those vouchers can be traded for gifts in the Parade Store. The gift line-up changes every day and repeats every few weeks or months. I suggest looking daily to see what is available.

HOW IT WORKS:

Click on the Parade Roster window found under the Current Parade tab. Available animals show at the top of the list. Select one and place it in the Current Parade with a click.

A timer will start to run. Your animal can still be used while the timer runs. After the timer finishes, click complete. Parade Store vouchers will be given for completing the parade. If more animals are available in the Roster, parade them one at a time. Check for new animals from time to time.

 

That's all the Animal Parade does - it gives vouchers for "parading" your collection. A search feature is available to know which animals can be paraded and if you have one. You can also search the collections.

Use the Parade Store vouchers along with purple and yellow vouchers and sometimes RC to purchase extra gifts.

More gifts and honor points are awarded for completing groups of habitats.

Happy Farming to you from Kiyoko Ball here at Family Farm... Advice group! Keep sending out those Special Delivery boxes to all your neighbors every day to share the OP love!
