Question for KEM farmers

I farm 30 KEMs at a time as that amount equals 2 levels up for me with the collider on (level 939.)

Year? I'm pulling 80 million a day ☺

I'm level 131, bonus 148.6+153 hidden = 301.6 -- I farm 25 kem 2 or 3 times a day no collider. I level up avg 1.7 times a day (avg for past 10 days)

With the collider instead of leveling up 17 times those 10 days, you would have leveled up 85 times, giving you 68 extra donuts. Well worth spending 25 to get 68.

(this is probably a very rough approximation, but I don't have a doubt that in your case it's more than worth it to turn the collider on)

edit, repeated post

BTW, to the OP, if you're KEM farming you should more than 20. You should do at least the ones (around 25) that are cheaper than the full price of $14,400.

Actually I'm not KEM farming. That's the point of my question: How does my house farming trial compare to the KEM farming that others are doing?
Because I have so little space left (especially in my 3rd town, which is recent and pure Freemium) I don't really WANT to KEM farm if I can get away with it. I've spent the last several days moving decorations, cramming them together to free up as much space as possible to make room for several small house farms of every color (Except Brown - Brown Houses are useless for farming. They're great for neighbor tapping though).
It's really going to be hard for me to tell whether this system is workable in my #3 town or not until I've got my house farms built up a little more and do the math. I'm now wishing I'd held off with the Collider and built the house farms first, but I just didn't think of it. I've been working on slowly building up a huge (around 300) White House farm for the last few months and it just didn't occur to me to build small house farms of the other colors up to their maximum costs to boost my income.

It seems you are confusing the terms. House "farming" means having houses to generate income. But you keep those houses "forever", generating income.
With KEMs, you build-sell-build to generate XP.

100% freemium here. Take a look at my SF (link in signature) if you want ideas of farming with limited space.

Farm? What farm? That's a garden. I have more Blue Houses in my towns (1 &2) than you have buildings. And all that wasted space... Streets? My roads separate sections of buildings crammed together by time.
You forgot to do the Insanity Cauldron!
Ahh, I'm just messin' with you. Nice little town. :p
Did you use some kind of app to generate that or did you stitch it together by hand?

I don't consider the houses a farm. Just the KEMs.

Stitched together. I used to use paint but recently found GIMP 2 (think it was Sandwedgeking that mentioned it in the Airport thread.) Once you do it once you just tweak the sections as you redesign. Only about 60-70 screenshots for the whole town. Thought it would be more.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am happy to just do 16 at a time, just got my fifth and last beach hideaway which dragged my total up to 135.65% with all SH buildings out, works out nearly one full level for every four times I do it without a collider...

Like a poster above, my work tends to get in the way of it also and so a collider would tend to be wasted as some days I may only collect in a morning, build some more, collect at night and build more for the next day, plus i'm not exactly dragging a lot of income in at the moment so i'm quite happy to trot along for now and hit the collider for a day or so every now and again once I've hit 3m IGC or so...
