@agentflan later on you can buy those items with in-game-items, not only rubies. But you always have to read the harvest/feeding times and plan accordingly. Some animals/crops have very short times until they wither/get sick. so have to pay attention for that

Note that chickens and pigs will not keep overnight; if they go too long without being fed they cost at least 1/3 of a ruby to fix, which is about the worst thing to have to spend rubies on

A tip for people who want to play heavily monetized games like this without spending real money: figure out what the premium currency is (rubies, in this case) and avoid spending it on little things like temporary bonuses or timeskips until there's nothing better left to use it for. Those tiny expenditures add up, and you won't finish a game like this for a long time anyway (unless you spend a ridiculous amount of real money, that is). Don't fall for those offers to buy an item directly with a ruby when you can buy for shells in the shop, and don't be fooled by the game seeming to throw a lot of it at you when you're starting out; that'll almost certainly slow down later, and if you spent it like you were expecting that generosity to continue, you'll probably end up regretting it.

I'm sorry to flood your comments, Drau and Osk, but I mean I haven't bought anything on this game and play for like a separate hour and a half for like 2 months now.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I haven't bought in game currency except for in like 3 games. A few of them due to the fact the 5v5 party you boost in grants bonuses to each of us. Another I stopped because some parts of League of Angels is nothing but p2w "peeing contests" I don't want to induldge in.

Kongregate was revived from the dead, only to start featuring poorly programmed games that purposefully lock the enjoyable parts of a game behind microtransactions. If this is the future of Kong, it should have stayed dead.

If you had to be logged in for that hour, I might get what you're saying. But this is an OPTIONAL pay in game and IDLE growth manager. It really ONLY brings more than its own self pushed expectations.

Energy systems are the WORST kind of cash grab, IMO.
also, it's going to take an HOUR to grow some Beans...unless i pay real money?!
NO.
WAY.

@Drakon_Lameth 1) This game doesn't suck your money and is pretty enjoyable for free, you just have an option to speedrun your progress for money. 2) Why are you bothered by the fact that this game got badges? 3) This game is 12 years old, it's just that it got released on this website recently ;)

I'm trying to figure out how this mobile-energy-system cash-sucking abomination ever held a high enough score long enough for badges to get authorized to be added to it after launch. Especially with the game only being about 2 and a half months old.

@TheRealPip You can buy salt in the shop's section Special - Spices for 2 shells. And you can dig a well soon as you progress with the main quests.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Wait a sec.... is the only way to get salt to make it from salt crystals? And the only way to get salt crystals is to get it from a friend via gifts? And the only way to get or give gifts is to be at level 16? If so, I am going to suggest that the pacing, rules, and goals of the game have to be rethought. -Pip

How do I get salt to make food? I assume I do something with sea water, but I can't figure it out. Also, how long until I am able to build a well, and how does this help? -Pip

@alinfoper No, there are no quests needed. You are supposed to see your friends after you add them on Kongregate and restart the game, and you should uncheck the "private" setting of your account, but if you still don't see them, it must be a bug. There are many other players who did everything properly, but they don't see friends besides Paprick. Hopefully devs will fix that.

@tarjmov because friendly actions on trees only give 1 wood and on rocks and bushes only 1 shell. They are not supposed to give the full benefit of clearing them.

I have added a lot of you to kong friends but my list in the game has only Paprick. Should I solve a specific quest or be over a specific level to be able to visit friends?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why is it that when someone else cuts down a tree, or harvest stones or thorns, that I do not get the full benefit, and it does not deplete the resource to clear space.

CodeDragondm - I can't remember when I got it (I'm level 14 now and have had it a little while) but you eventually will receive a main quest called "reputation for axe" that will grant you the pieces you need. You need to get 80 reputation (the pink crown above your name) which you get for building things on the island and completing quests.

I have noticed, that a lot of my crops and anymals get multi-harvestet, while others are just left. Therefore, I would like to point out, that a yellow marking means, that something has already been done.
While some things can be done multiple times (trees, bees, pits, wells), most others are just a lost help for the visited person.
I know, that some helpings (mostly crops) are more desirable then others, but please be fair and help on the "unhandled" stuff as well. You will appreaciate the help, too.

There's a visitor on my island, but I can't accept his request. I can't click on the box either, since an exclamation mark appeared on it. Anybody else experiencing this?

Do Not Add Me As a Friend! ... Unless you want even more free experience, another person to help with your farming needs, and someone else to ask questions of.

To devs: this game needs a way to mass send gifts to friends. To make game more fun, and save +15 min everyday for each player

DeepUnderWater your profile is private. Please, uncheck "Make my profile private" in Account settings - edit profile, or nobody can add you.

@DeepUnderWater easiest way to get friends is to add top 30 players who you see in the leaderboards, and also these who posted comments. These are the most active players who will most likely add you back without asking.
