Slightly confused about which currency to go for...

I would also prioritize the fertilizer until you upgraded your research center enough for your liking.

Aye, upgraded to lvl 15 straight away, just waiting for enough fertilizer to get lvl 16 atm.

I have 67 characters all earning different currency on differently timed tasks. I have no idea what is going on. :shock:

More than slightly confusing!

I'm going to wait till Act 3 before balancing. Right now I'm just earning as much I can as quick as I can.

for today while I get the hang of the event, I'm putting the characters on the shorter task.

my goal is to start a good timing plan tomorrow (ie I think I'll stick to a 4 hour visiting pattern, this isn't so great for the 1-2 hour tasks so if they have a multiple of 4 hour task they'll go on that instead, I can treat the 3 hour task like a 4 hour task, the 6 hour task is just an 8 hour task, etc (I'm at Monsarno level 16, going to upgrade to level 17 to deal with the 1 hour task not being collected as much)

I know that I can play for 16ish hours a day (I enjoy sleeping, it's probably more like 17 hours with town clearing, assigning tasks).

Add me to the confused list too.

This event seems very long already. Especially as I haven't crafted anything yet. The strategy seems to be to put off crafting til the end because upgrades are more important. Well, that may be logical but I'm impatient & want more. I'm did one upgrade today but I'm thinking of getting the farmer's market when I have enough fertiliser. I'm not too bothered about a lot of the stuff but the market is one of the few things I want.

I don't really like the crafting thing. It's just as irritating & random as the wheel. During the last event I had masses of some crafting currency and little of others. The event ended with loads of useless leftover currency. At the same time my husband really needed the things I had in abundance. Annoying.

Adding more currency earning jobs for characters who already have different currency earning jobs just confuses me more.

I enjoy catching the mutants and have managed to get organised with the Cecil tasks. I got the mutant pet and some extra donuts from the shovels in Act 1. That was fun. Collecting masses of fertiliser/corn/dna for prizes takes a little fun away. Only some of the crafting stuff comes from jobs and the rest is random. So there's a chance that I could tap my fingers to the bone and get masses of currency but the wrong amounts.

Anyone getting very few beans, btw. Some mornings I've only got 1 when clearing my SF.

Yep I'm back to being confused. I woke up and was able to level up to 16. Now I have too many choices of tasks and I have nothing I am able to craft. There's over a month left of the event. So I guess it will balance out, make more sense again, but I'm leaning back to not one of my favorite events. I already stored some stuff, but if I want the Italian villa, I'm going to have to store more. IDK, maybe I should let this be my first event to pass on and get caught up on work. With the hour tasks being the optimal ones, I just don't think this event is very playable unless you're unemployed. Maybe I'm just still tired. Act 1 took too long to figure out, now the game is really all over the place. Bring back the wheel?

Think I will settle on upgrade to lvl 17, then put any characters on dna and fertilizer earning tasks (if they have a corn option as well).

Many of them have only corn gathering tasks so fingers crossed that will be covered by them without extra resources being diverted from elsewhere

I went to 17, and now I'm focusing on collecting more. Is there an upgrade ceiling this act?

I'm still going for fertilizer when I can, then corn. The Farmer's Market is the crafting item I want the most, so I still need lots of fertilizer for that. Plus we need it for leveling up the lab. I'll worry about DNA and those weird faces later.

I'm a bit lost as well. Levelled up the building to 17, and now have 93 characters there on different timed tasks.

Edit:93 characters.
