How to play


Grow crops, collect drops, mill products from them. Make 25 mill products and give them to the weasel appearing on your main farm. That's all. You finish the game
 
This is the story as how to play. If you don't understand don't bother. Just mill products deposit that's all you need to do.
1.   Give one Bag O Jewel to the weasel spawning in your main field.
2.    Weasels will spawn only in the main field. And 4 at a time.
3.     As soon as you give 1 bag O Jewel you can play one mini game
4.  You have to find out the shell which has a pearl under it.
5.   How much ever hard you try you will not win.(that's the April fool joke). He cheats. So don't feel bad.
6.   But each time you give the weasel a bag o jewel, you help the police to get a clue against the weasel.

7.           When ever you use the Mill, Barn, Supply Tower and Breeding Motel on your Main lands, it will show negative balance. So don't panic about that either.

Thanks for the great info, 12! 

i think I'm going to do this but I'm not going to rush ill just do as much as I can at a relaxed rate :)) thank you 12ss12 for starting another strategy thread :) you're awesome :))

Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?  Over 18 gazillion junks?  

Beeps can keep the first 10 seeds, do not ever reload if drops below five, please do not pollute my farm with the droppings, and good luck in finding another April Fool.

Over 18 gazillion junks! Sheeesh, I dare not seek a harvest helper for this nonsense.  I don't even want to imagine the look ..... or even try to explain my way out of needing my head examined.  

This farm has bigger issues at the moment:  I need 20,000 chickens and I know I'm not producing them.  Maybe there is some good in that junks growin ..... ohhhhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo .......   

Am I missing something, or has the event not started? I've got no event clock.....

it has started. May be refresh and see.

Usually in Indian Time event starts at 6.30 p.m and it is only 5.44 p.m here. Has the event started early ? 

I just logged in as I got bored doing nothing and I find the event has started. For a moment  I thought it was April Fool's joke. But no it is not.

Do you actually have an event clock? because I refreshed and I don't!

The ingame news page announces the availability of the trickster baskets, but no event clock, and no event place, and nothing in the Farmer Society either. 

I do have a crop... strange.
I harvested, and the diamonds did drop.

"The drops are coming, but lacks event timer, event interface.

Everyone pilot issue on its own responsibility, we indicated further developments.

I have the same sight as you Tookie... :D But I have the 10 seeds at least.

I did sow them... we'll see what happens later. ;-)

In India, you don't change the clock twice a year? 
Last Sunday in Europa there was a time-changing thing.
So it started at good time (14 hours CET) for us.

This is "disgusting"...

"The event dates, event surface facing shortage of only a few players, however, flew to arrive there.
In the center, of course, examine the phenomenon (CDN problem may be in the background), the event will go, even when there is no event dates.
The anticipated repair takes about 1 hour.
(We continue to reap the players concerned at your own risk.)
Apologize for the inconvenience."

With google translator from a HU mod. 

And of course I am in the group of: "wait one more hour". 

Not the start I had hoped for. Only 121 drops. I started almost an hour late so I missed the big start issue it seems. However, at this rate I won't be having an easy time of this event either. Lately my drops have been an issue with every event. Never had trouble before. 

Oh well, first 10 are in and brewing. 

Hope things are fixed for everyone having troubles.
