How much money do you keep in reserve?

I also thought, what Donuts for game money? :lol:
A pity to find out it was just about farming.
I'm too lazy to farm. 8)

me too

KEM farming sounds like hell on earth :shock:
the game has enough grinding as it is with the events, and Springfield Heights
respect to anyone who can go through this torture...i really believe that EA allows it to happen purely out of pity to anyone who can do it

Kem farm isn't efficient. And I still maintain my opinion. I have over 4k% multiplier. And a house farm. I used to build few hundred kems at a time (you can't do 20 but I feel that's a waste of time). It takes almost one hour for me to click the check mark and wait for the donut boxes. I already only choose again if there is one donut (saves 50% of time) but it's still a chore. Yes I get >100 donuts at a time but it's worse than before the irs came and I used to click one building at a time. Maybe in your opinion I'm not doing it right and maybe you have a better kem strategy that's different from mine. But it isn't worthwhile on the long run, unless the process can be sped up. An ok multiplier and a good farm (not that hard with 20-30 we earn at each event) would sustain a steady donut income that would be much more time efficient. This is only my opinion anyway. I feel we should still enjoy it as a game, than trying to kem farm which makes it a chore. Most players on my friend list with a nice build and obviously good multiplier would try a little kem farm then mostly either give up or keep at a minimal scale. Not sure if they feel the same way as I do. I survived a completed SH but kem farming is still too much a boredom. Maybe you can share your different kem strategy that makes it more efficient and fun. Or maybe my device is too slow. Anyone else finding the collecting from built kem and waiting for boxes part taking too much time?

4k% multiplier, and having poor results? Yeah, you're doing something wrong.
You should easily have made more donuts than you could use.

Do you have the XP multiplier?

I just passed the $100 million mark and don't see a need for more as EA is slow on granting us land.

I hit the 100 million mark about a week ago. I bought some land and for my first KEM farming at the same time. Now, I am currently sitting around 71 million dollars. I made over than three hundred fifty donuts and I still have a couple more days with XP multiplier. I could have more donuts but I didn't tapped for a whole day on Thursday.

The four hour sequence of the KEM farming with the current event makes it pretty easy to manufacture donuts.

I'd love to know the strategy of a purely freemium player that has over a 300% conformity bonus.

House farming, KEM farming (for longer than it was a forum thing), glitch exploiting, Mystery Box buying.

Most of my conformity bonus are from wailing walls, tennis courts, and the Springfield Height Buildings. I have over max 10 unique Springfield Height Buildings. Also, the numerous amount of News vans from mystery boxes gives me a big boost.
I only bought donuts when the two premium buildings and some donuts were offered for 7.99. My conformity bonus is around 480%. I think this is about average, yet there some players in thousands percent by buying donuts or KEM farming.

I agree. Kem farming after around 3k% is not efficient. Donut churning is much more efficient at that point--it's all about the turbo mode.

On the other hand after 3k% almost nothing is efficient. The double donut is not efficient. House farming is no longer efficient. Sending characters on tasks is no longer efficient. Doing events is no longer efficient(spend donuts to the quests, then spend the time saved getting more donuts).

A maximally efficient high multiplier town has minimal characters, minimal houses, nothing that can be stored except for things with multipliers. The items should have high multipliers, and no animation. Very efficient, but very boring.

Ouch. So I guess being excited that my conformity multiplier is abou to go over 100% is pretty lame huh? :lol:

Clearing my KEM farm (usually around 40-50 or so KEMs) and then building a new batch probably takes around 2-3 minutes. I make around 6-9 donuts every 4 hours or so. If 3 minutes every 4 hours or so is too much for you, then don't do it. But it's definitely not anything like hell on earth.

It's WAY more efficient than, say, messing with the railroad tracks, which I no longer bother with.
