Question to KEM farmers

I'm curious why KEM is the preferred building? I thought blood mobiles were the best?

well, KEMs are more "sustainable", if you want. In order to do BM you need some millions to start with, KEMs are doable since low levels and with some few thousands you are good to start

But it takes so many KEMs to level up and you have to wait 4 hours. BM's are instant!

It's about where you want to spend your time in the game.

KEMs are significantly more efficient use of money - I can't remember off the top of my head but I'm sure someone will follow up with the exact stat. BMs are just a more efficient use of time.


To answer the OP, my mult. is just over 2200%, I get a bonus box every 4 KEMs and never pay to 'pick again' - I lay down about 400 at a time, giving me about 200 donuts each cycle. The four hours doesn't really matter to me, it's not like the KEMs are going anywhere if I'm late.

Or when I'm too lazy/busy to bother with KEMs, I just go the BM route :wink:

holy jesus.....

Multiplier 505%
I put down 75-100 KEMs every 4 hours, give or take
Bonus box every 10 KEMs
Yield: 10-25 donuts per,
Usually dont pay for second or third chance, 50K is 3 or 4 more KEMs the next round.

All numbers except the multiplier are approximate, give or take

I have used blood mobiles when ti.e is a factor, ie deadline for a limited time item

So... your recommendation for a starter with KEM farms could be something like "invest donuts on item's that increase your multiplier and then you'll be able to buy the stuff you really want"?

Yeah, that's really the only way to do it - and it can quickly build on itself once you hit a tipping point.

The way I've done it (and this worked for me because I was willing to sacrifice any pretense of design for a while to build up a stockpile of donuts - some people would definitely hate their town being a farm, but I decided to do it for a while):

I've played since almost the beginning, so I had a house ($$) farm for a long time building up cash and converting them slowly, buying up any items that could give me % and just before the airport event, I was right about where @daved7637397 sits - 600% and I had about 6K donuts saved up.

When the airport event hit and the flag bundles came up for sale again, I decided to just go for it and spent it all on flags, committing a large portion of Springfield Heights to flag country (goooo more land in SH!) which boosted me to just over 1500%. I quickly rebuilt the donuts I spent and then went crazy on the 6 donut bonus boxes after the airport event ended and pushed to 2200%-ish which is where I sit now and can generate 1000 donuts a day if I'm really bored and have built up to 16K donuts.

Like I say, you hit that tipping point eventually and it just explodes - I don't remember exactly when the airport event started, but all of that happened in about a 2 month window.

I was never really about being a 'freemium' player - I've spent a couple hundred bucks of my own money and/or money from those QuickThoughts surveys and it took a whole lot longer to get to the first 500% but there's no real magic to it, just keep building up and reinvesting and you'll get there.

Yeah! What he said. Basically @moviefansam just laid out my long term plan to you. I started in the beginning too, but lost my town and had to start over about 2 years ago. Have built a small house farm out of craftable event buildings, zenith city packs from superheros 1 and 2, retro townhouses from future event, spooky houses from the last couple THOH events, which brings in about 200K every 3 hours. Its not even close to what my old house farm or others farms yield, but it helps. Also put a lot of real $$$ into donuts, building the multiplier slowly but surely. 500% today. Was 400% a month ago. 300% 4 months ago. Every bit it goes up, the next bit comes faster. Someday I hope to be up to the 2000% club.

I place 75 KEMs every 4 hours and have 1000% multiplier; together with income from jobs and buildings this yields 11 bonus level up donut boxes. I like fixed returns, so always take 3 donuts from each, harvesting 33 donuts per cycle or just under 200 donuts per day.
