@archerbob: you don't need watermelon seeds (and they're not particularly good gifts anyway). Instead, try this: after digging some squares to plant stuff in, open the shop (tent icon in the bottom right), click the PLANTS button (looks like a banana), and buy and plant beans (others work too, but beans give good food for their cost, grow in just an hour and last two days before wilting). Then, when you harvest them, go back into the shop, click the SPECIAL button (lightning bolt) and buy a lot of salt, then go into your workshop (hammer and saw button on the main screen), click the food button (the bowl) and you can cook beans on the first page. Save some beans for planting more later, though, to save buying new seeds.

I got over 100+ friends that i add to friend list, but has no response from them. Just check your friend list or add me via that message on my nickname on mouseover +friend.

I do appreciate that everything you can craft takes time OR energy, and that you can continue to use the workbench while the timed items are processing. That's a nice touch that a lot of free-to-play developers refuse to consider for the purpose of squeezing the player base for more cash more often.

@CAQ9 you need to add them as a friend on Kongregate itslef, so they show up as in game neighbors the next time you start the game. and make sure your kong profile is NOT private.

I'm starting to get cheesed off, this game has crashed my browser over a dozen times today whilst trying to do the Halloween event
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Hej,
Maybe the game could have stats like you fed X sheeps on friends islands and such, maybe with a reward after a lot of them
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
For the Halloween Event
1)-at least 3 types of objects in the map cycle between two states, switching to the other once the first is completed, then back to the first when the second is done: "Crazy Bush"/Goblin, "Dark Spirits"/"White Spirits", and "Underground Hole"/"Hot Lava"
2)-Crazy Bush and Dark Spirits block your path, while Goblins and White Spirits do not; make sure you don't block your way (but you can walk through fake lava either way)
3)-Goblins drop Goblin Oil
4)-at least 3 types of toys can drop from objects in this event, as well as other collectibles; bats can drop from the bat game, "Seahorse Spirits" (the completed form of the seahorses) can drop Giraffe Toys when fed, and Toucans drop from...something, I forgot
5)-trying to complete everything is going to take hundreds of energy and a whole lot of resources, including several dozen radishes
6)-once you complete the spooky hatch, make sure it's as empty as you can make it

@archerbob: no, the volcano is NOT the last quest, there is more after that. and you can do stuff after all the quests are done. altogether it is 14 parts to this event that show in your quest book.

Bug: quests which require crafting timed workshop products do not register as being completed should you pick them up on islands besides Atafu (the "big island")
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Chopping down the knights is awesome, I got 61 machete so far and have 5 knights to go... I think I'm also getting other items as well that I need for quests on the main farm. @mystramisc does the event conclude when you complete the volcano? Can you continue to do stuff in the haunted house after or does concluding the event close it out?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
mystramisc: KeeperBVK asked if Toby was needed for the clay colossus. I have the clay colossus and I have not touched Toby's island yet. I wasn't saying it wasn't needed later just that it wasn't needed for the badge. I do not know how many people will keep playing after they get the Impossible badge.

How do I get more ghost oil (or lava imitation for that matter)? The lava pits aren't filling up unless I feed them oil (or so it seems).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@cresswga you are wrong, you can NOT ignore toby's desert island, you wil need it later to progress through the main quest.
@archerbob such questions are BEST asked in the discrod, either through the on-page bot, or even better directly on the discord. there you can get all the answers as someone like me will be able to answer them right on the spot (yes, i finished the complete Halloween event)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@cresswga, plank pool costs 400 shells, while owl/wheel cost 250 shells... Didn't I say that these are cheaper? ;)
@bakkart Good to know, I am currently digging through the swamp and haven't unlocked them yet.
@archerbob, you get the lamps in pavilon I on the holiday island. You need to pay raddish to get them.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Scratch that about the ghost lamps, I get my confusion now as it seems this quest is a bit buggy and doesn't count correctly... so currently of the eight I've obtained the quest has only counted the last two

How do you get enough salt for the Halloween quest? The workshop states you can get salt crystals as a gift from friends, but there is no salt crystal option when I look in Give Gift. I guess I just have to buy them all in the shop
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Great analysis, ATB; really breaks it down well. I might also suggest hourglasses for the same cost as owls, except with the advantage of being able to walk through them.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ATBu - yes, great point. I think I forgot about those because I couldn't afford them at the time. I was still farming cats for shells :)

Hej, devs, let's create a stable option so you can freeze your animals if you have a vacation or something. Especially for ruby animals you can't just sell and regrow...

@cresswga Plank pools are 4x4, that makes 16 tiles and give 70 rep, that's 4.375 rep per tile. Wise owls and steering wheels cost less, need only 1 tile and give 10 rep each. And they don't need building, while pool needs 35 energy + 35 planks.

@archerbob: Watermelons is just about the only crop I can think of that CANNOT be turned into food. Just grow anything else (and no biter melons).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
What crops can I grow that I can turn into feed? Watermelons is one but I can only do them if people give me seeds...

Part 2:
If you have a lot of in-game friends then put your clay pit near the island entrance and your friends should harvest enough for you to keep up with construction.
You'll also need a lot of money but if you check your collections you should have completed the rock collection a few times. Collect that and sell the gems for more shells than you should ever need.
Planks are harder to come by than bricks. You can make bricks in the background but planks require 5 energy each and you need hundreds of them. Ask your friends for planks.
Lastly, bricks, paint and cloth all take time to create. Make sure your timed workshop is always making
something.

I know a lot of people are focused on the Halloween event at the moment but I just completed my Clay Colossus and I wanted to share some tips for people
who are still working on it.
If you are struggling to hit the reputation needed for the clay pit then the Plank Pool is a good way to get a lot.
Once you have the clay pit I recommend looking at the wiki to see what items are needed for each step. You can then work on making those items in advance when you have spare energy.
You are going to need a lot of straw (which means a lot of rope which means a lot of liana) so buy some
ducks and start harvesting them. You'll also need a lot of corn so start growing it now.
You also need wool & cloth from sheep and it is a rarer harvest so have some sheep too.
You need eggs too but I found chickens to be a pain to buy every day so I just spent my rubies whenever I needed them.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I got pigs, Yiu (for now), so come on over. But generally speaking, pigs are a complete pain, and there's no reward from them.

IF you play oceania, why not FRIEND me on kongregate, so that we can help each other. Makes the game more enjoyable for everyone. Thanks.

@archerbob the haunted house is the second pavilion, click it, then right click and "use". That should work unless there is a bug
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@carex I cannot even find the haunted house, I am starting to think this event is bugged because my browser has been crashing since this event started
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So basically, if you haven't saved any keys you have to wait 3 days until you can move past the hatch in the haunted house? Or am I missing something?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Also to the dev, I seem to be getting a bug in Firefox where I get a looping walking sound intermittently that eventually crashes the browser
