"Gary_A_D;c-1738780" wrote:How does KEM farming get you more donuts? I'm curios.Kwik-E-Marts are relatively cheap to build and provide a high amount of XP with a fairly short 4 hour build time if you have the XP Collider turned on. By building multiple Kwik-E-Marts, collecting the XP when they're done, selling the ones you build, and starting the process over again as often as you can, it's easy to advance to Level 939 and then continue to accumulate donuts through the bonus boxes every 1,000,000 XP. To answer the OP's question, no EA will not ban you because everything you're doing is within the structure of the game as it has been designed to be played.

They will see you have a lot of donuts, and no actual purchases using real world currency, so they will just accuse you of using 3rd party mods. You are guilty with no way to prove your innocence. You have no way to talk to the "specialist" that determined you are a cheater, nor can the front line agent conference them into the call. Since you have been labeled a cheater, they will refuse to help you and just close out your case.

Just farm enough to try to get what you really want :) Some people are worried that they will shut down donut farming at some point in the future. We are building a stockpile in case that happens. Others simply do it because they have nothing better to do in the game, so might as well make donuts. I'm sort of in the middle. I'm a little worried about it stopping, but with nearly 40,000 donuts, I don't think I'll run out any time soon.

Nothing is changing. EA is plenty aware of how the game mechanics are operating. Keep building and you'll get there.

As well as I remember, there is a 1000 doughnuts/day limit for farming. 7 digit stash is not achievable in legit fremium.

I believe there was a temporary limit per day, which was lifted:

There have been at least a small number of cases in which accused users were able to successfully appeal a preliminary determination that they were cheating/modding. But in general, it’s not easy and a successful outcome is far from guaranteed. To my way of thinking, this is the primary downside to farming copious numbers of donuts.

Why would you want tens of thousands or millions of donuts anyway? Just farm enough to try to get what you really want :)

Using the chart in the Tips thread it appears that I'd need 75,680 to buy 25 KEM's. Is that correct?

I've been playing since 2012 but never knew about KEM farming, only houses. I do have the XP Collider and I always have it activated. Last week during the Farm event, I couldn't get the characters released from a task. Spent over 24 hours. I'd constantly get booted after every try. I got 1 donut for leveling up after each try, and after 24 hours I had about 50 extra donuts. Thanks to everyone for your replies. Much appreciated.

I had contacted EA Support on Twitter, and by the time they responded, I had dumped, then re-installed the game, and the characters finely released. Now when I have tasks that all town folk can do at the same time, I only use the required amount, or double, so I know I won't have a problem.

Yeah, the 7 digit stash I saw cannot be playing fairly. Just pointing out that it is ok to build up your donuts.

I hope not lol

I just started kem farming a few days ago and it's been going pretty smoothly.
Almost at level 300 and been building 40-50 every 4 hours
Put my characters on 4 hour jobs and Put them on 8 hour jobs once a day on days I work and twice a day on my days off

Currently at zero donuts lol. Been using them to buy jet bikes to add to my multiplier since it's in the vault for me right now

Exactly, but only if you don't have any other KEMs lying around your town. I have about 4 (which I don't want to get rid of because I like how they fit in their areas), so I hit the 14400$ mark already with my 21st farming KEM.
That's not a big deal anyway, since I farm 55 KEMs at the time. You just need to find the sweet spot with the appropriate farm size to match your cash flow.

I often think that they put it in there to be discovered. Why else would the XP be so high on KEMs? I feel like they're really proud of the person who first discovered it and we're all living in a sort of TSTO 'Ready Player One'.
