Anyone have an idea of why I have so much wheat? Not complaining, but just noticed I have like 10x more wheat than anything else, and I'm pretty sure I haven't been harvesting that much.
I thought you had done the math wrong, but I forgot about needing to hit each tile 3x. But in addition to the 954 wood cost, energy cost is pretty high too, then. I think you'd need 212 energy (tiles + plank-making) to get this done. All this without factoring in any energy needed to cut wood in the first place ...
Okay, finished the event with a few hours to spare. Have to agree with Nilnilil, though -- not my favorite event. Question -- this pheasant reward. Does it provide anything? Or is it just a trophy you have to feed every day?
Just seems like they were a little stingy on glitter on glitter and/or surfboards for doing the event tasks and riddles. That was difficult enough without having to depend on random drops from extra crops and animals.
Is anyone else having doubts about being able to complete the Lazy Parrot event? Unless something changes, I think I'm going to be about 5-7 surfboards short.
I was just looking up surfboards/glitter on the wiki. It looks like you have to gather the special items from various harvests to get surfboards in "Collections." For example, harvesting strawberries, eggplants, meerkats, and antelope will get you phosphorous shells. I haven't seen any other ways to get glitter so I could craft more surfboards. I also am exactly 20 surfboards short, btw.
I generally don't like "Beserk" style games because they're too difficult on a laptop's touchpad, but this one's not too bad ... except for the lag I have when trying to do an action like throw a snowball or start building a turret. Maybe that's not a problem everyone has, but when you essentially have to double-click to do an action, that really gums up the gameplay. For other frustrated laptoppers, I did nothing except accumulate snow until I got 8,000 and then I just built turrets, trying to keep them out of the path of the mob. I got to level 10 (and the badge) fairly easily that way, and never had to throw a snowball.
Well, after an unintentional break for about two weeks, I'm back. If you dropped me as a friend during that time, feel free to add me back again. Just one piece of advice about access -- make sure your Kongregate email account is a working one. It's quite difficult to log back in without one if you, for example, get a new computer.
A gemstone mine has many facets, and is like a diamond in the rough at first. Once you get it up and running, you'll have carat fields galore, and it will be a complete gemtrification of the neighborhood.
To ruby, or not to ruby, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The machetes and planks of outrageous players,
Or to take offense against a sea of developers
And by opposing ... get your rubies back.
