Goodbye

Real life is just too busy for me to keep up with all my farms, and this server is the slowest for me, so it has to go, will be putting stock on the exchange board so it doesn't go to waste, thanks for everyone's help and enjoy farming!

Hibernation

I'm taking a week off at the beginning of next month so I'll be hibernating my farm.  If anyone needs very strong fungicide/pesticide while I'm gone, please contact Perk or ajoo.

Take care and see you all soon. :)

Challenges and membership

Beginner and amateur challenges are also important to our cooperative. We have only 1 member who has access to join beginner challenges. So, I think the new membership of our cooperative should be given to those amateur farmer who is promising to spend some of his/her time on beginner and amateur challenges.

Besides that, new membership should be given also to farmer with at least 2* goat or rabbit to reduce the inter-coop exchange.

Goodbye

With winning the last cleaning challenge (and with that the Experienced Spring Award) all Amateur and Experienced egg and cleaning challenges are done.

For me a good moment to stop playing on the Asia server.

I wish the coop and its members all the best !

Happy farming,

Karin.

Cooperative Missions Spreadsheet

What would you all say to creating a cooperative missions spreadsheet for those who are interested in sharing the burden of missions. I have a copy of one that I could link to that Wigginsmum developed when she played with me on USA2. Thoughts anyone???

Sad Farming News

Due to lack of time (during working days) I'm going to quit playing on some servers (UK, US1 and Asia). I'm not going to leave the coop right now. I will participate in the autumn/winter/spring egg and cleaning challenges. With 4 chicken coops I have a good chance to win some.

We can backup the recipes I own (if needed). I don't know who to contact about it, so just send me a message.

During the last few days I'm playing on this server I will put my stock on the exchange board for you to make some money.

Sorry I have to leave you guys (and girls) but real life is very time consuming...

Greetz,

Karin

Organics

Is anyone willing to help out with making organic fertiliser for the new members?  Every season I rot 600 pomace/chicken bones to make organic waste for myself and another 1000 to make OFE for the new members but that isn't going to be enough any more as our coop keeps expanding.

I would hate to see the new members growing 5* crops for lack of good fertiliser or even worse, they might end up using chemicals which would cause pollution for many turns.

I think if we all pitch in a little bit, we can make enough to support them all.  No one is obligated to donate organics and it's just something I started doing on my own to help the coop.  If it's too hard to make fertiliser for them then I think it would be nice if the veteran farmers could donate even small quantities of stuff for rotting like 7* pomace, bones, rennet, or whey.  I have enough silo space to combine and rot them.

Apple Brandy and Golden Autumn

Hey folks,

A batch of Apple Brandy just matured for me. I thought about selling it, but wanted to offer it in case anyone needed the extra endurance. I'd be willing to trade it for product of equal value. PM me if interested.

I also noticed that both Veteran and Experienced Golden Autumn are one participant away from qualification.

Veteran Harnessing Challenge

It might be too late to ask, but can anyone join this?  I need one more participant and there's only 2 turns left... probably 1 turn by the time anyone reads this...  the minimum score is 30 which you can get if you have at least 2 cows.

Anyone up for Veteran Fall Festival?

There aren't that many Veteran's playing at Asia, but are there enough of you guys that would want to compete in the Veteran Fall Festival? I have some fruits stored up to make wine and Brandy with and would stand a fair chance at Victory. We don't have any of the Veteran Festival cups wins yet, but the minimum participants are 7. I'm going to compete, but I wanted to ask in case a few of you wanted to save a spot.

Black grapes

Hi guys, I really need 30 black grape of 2 star or higher to make port for a mission. There just isn't anything higher than 1 star on the market and if anyone can help I would be really grateful.

Ever hopefully......

Introducing VictorII

Hi guys,

I joined Woodlands last week and just wanted to introduce myself to you guys. My name is Victor, but that was already taken in game. Lacking in creativity, my ign is therefore VictorII. I'm a 25 year old law student from Norway.

I'm only on my 80th turn so far and this is my farm:

I'm baking sourdough bread at the moment (shocking, right?) with my 2x25 bakers (Ousman Jovanny & S Vanny), but I just barely have enough transactions - even before upgrading to lvl3 professional equipment. I haven't upgraded yet cause the electricity cost alone makes it less profitable, not to speak of the problem of getting enough wheat flour at any given time. It's only worth upgrading your bakery with professional equipment once your average profit per use is above $7.

There's no volume discount on electricity, right? It's constant at $0.50/KW?

Anyway, transactions seem to be more of an issue than endurance at this point, which is why I'm putting in a brewery and a barn once I get some free space - that should keep me occupied.

In the medium-term the plan is to put in a winery, an oil-mill and eventually an organic workshop, which by then should be useful with the cows. And I might need another silo before winter comes around (and finish upgrading the one I have).

I'm currently growing stuff for missions, but I only need small amounts, so if you're looking for some Sunflower, Radishes or Pumpkins, let me know - if not I'll probably dump them on the market. It'll be a while before they're done anyway.

Coop Upgrade

Upgrade a number of things, thanks to all who put in  the time to win those challenges.

Experienced Overall Farm Trophy

I had won Experienced Crop Care, Butcher and Livestock Care Tournaments. But, we still need to win Experienced Fishing Tournament and Experienced Woodsman Tournament to redeem Experienced Overall Farm Trophy ($30K).

I am very weak in fishing and gathering, so I am not able to win these 2 tournaments. Please join and find a way to win these 2 tournaments, IF you have a good fisherman or gather. Fishing Tournament will be started in May and Woodsman will be started in November. Good luck :)

Veteran Winery Tournament

I really thought more would join this one and I don't know if we'll get the numbers but I need 9 more participants. It's something we haven't earned as a cooperative, and I'll probably ask on the forums as well.

Challenge Score

Im just curious but how do u guys know my score on challenges which i join? Dont tell me u hack into my acc lol

New Update

Hey Folks,

Moshu posted a primer on what the new update is officially going to hold. Does anyone have a Test Server farm? I have started one out of curiosity but it probably won't be up and running enough to test all the new content/game changes. There were some interesting changes to livestock and a significant change involving the silage/exchange issue. I'd be interested to know folks thoughts on how it might change the way the game works.

Peach Essence Or Peach

I have a mission asking for x40 Peach Essence 2* 40%, but I could not find any qualified peach in the market. Is there anyone having some 2* (or above) peach or peach essence?

Brandy

I have a mission that needs 30 port at 2 star, I have the grapes but haven't been able to find any brandy on the market. Does anyone have some? or does anyone have the port? There isn't time to make some brandy from scratch, I'll keep watching the market but will abandon the mission otherwise. Thanks for looking everyone.
