Speed Up Tokens
I started the 24 hour quest for the speed up tokens. As of writing I've been playing for 11 hours straight and only managed to accumulate 106 of the needed 160. I've spent all my coins several time...

If you want something to be upset about, try this: When I first started with Cheetah tokens, you needed nine pieces to get one token. Then it became ten pieces. Then 11 pieces. Then 12 pieces. I'm now subject to 13 (yes THIRTEEN) cheetah pieces to make one Cheetah token.
I can only surmise that as you get more cheetah buildings, you need more pieces to make a token. Or, perhaps, it's related to how many tokens you've earned (as I've heard of another person complaining that the turtle tokens were also increasing but they weren't adding more turtle buildings). I'm not sure as I've been adding cheetah buildings and also making tokens for use.
And I too, originally complained that cheetah tokens were ridiculously challenging to attain (see one of my previous posts where I detailed the insane time required for the tasks at hand).
Another person pointed out an important detail that helped me a lot: Store the long creation time items and create the short creation time items as needed.
While this helped, I still usually end up having crazy requirements as I near 160 points and must deploy one or more cheetah tokens to get to 160 points. My biggest pain is creating stuff in the Farmer's Market (milk, flour, and watermelons have been in short supply and nearly impossible to find on the global trade market).
I haven't spent a penny on the game - but I've sent countless mind numbing hours playing it.
I agree, the Farmers Market and Donut Shop takes a crazy amount of time to get what you need without speeding them up. Any food items really. Because they take the longest to build up, I generally use all other items for money making while I'm stocking up on food items. Once food items are up to par, then I'll prepare any other items needed.
I did one cheetah last weekend without using any speedup tokens and took me about 6 or 7 hours. Every once in a while I'll get one building that doesn't require me to jump through hoops to get it and seems to be evenly dispersed, so what I have in stock will due with purchasing some easy to find items. Out of the 7 cheetah buildings I have now, that's only happened twice. Usually it's jump through hoops to make it happen.
I'm starting to believe that what you get is based on what you have. They intentionally try to make it difficult by giving things you don't have, so make what you don't have the easy to find items in the market. That's only a theory though. Next time I'm going to stock up a little differently and see how it goes.
