5th Anniversary Cake

This post deals with the 5th Anniversary celebrations as well as new update.  New update below Anniversary Cake sections.


(Screenshot of completed Cake, stacked from positions 1-5.  You can choose one of three 'cake toppers' in the form of the Chicken seen here, a Sheep or a Cow.  All other Decorations occupy unique positions on the Cake Base.)

There are a number of different components to this.  Many will be found in Felicia's Message so make certain that you collect daily.

Today you will have received the Anniversary Cake Base, a special Avatar and 20 Cream Crop Seeds.

In the Market, there is a new Bird Family Decoration that is an Island Decoration and the first of its kind to give Island Blue Boxes when cleaned.

If you are looking for the Mushroom Picking Quest, you will find it below this post or follow this link to access it:

Anniversary Cake Base
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Anniversary Cake Base:  This Base is found in Felicia's Message.  You can place it immediately but to 'decorate' it, you will need to complete some of the Decorations that can be purchased in the Market and 'built' as follows:

Cream Crop
xxxxxxxxxx

The special Cream Crop (20 of the seeds each day) must be planted and harvested to finish all the Decorations for the Anniversary Cake Base.   You cannot complete any of them without the Cream Plant and as you will see, each requires 60.   A glitch caused the Cream Plant to appear in the market for a few lucky farmers temporarily but the only way you should be able to obtain the seeds is through Felicia's Message each day.

Note that many farmers are keeping a few mature Cream Plants on their farms for their neighbours to harvest when they visit.  This randomly allows players to obtain a few more than their daily allotment.  If other farmers fertilise the immature crop, it may be impossible for neighbours to harvest it.  This is a bit glitchy, but it is best to have at least 5 mature crops on your Farm if you wish to help your Neighbours with extra plants and you can afford to keep them there!

Cake Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Farmers who play the regular Family Farm will be familiar with this type of activity.  Decorations when completed can be used to decorate the Cake (Base).  Use the Move and then the Search tool on the Base to see how the Decorations can be stacked.  It will take at least 3 days to complete any Decoration, however, if Felicia only gives 20 Cream Plant seeds per day.  There is no option to buy out of this by paying RC for the Crop.

Here is a list of all the Decorations and their materials:


Cake Butter:  Purchase in Decorations section of Market for 1000 Coins and build it:

60 Cream Plant
10 Custard
10 Butter
20 Buffalo Milk

Stacking Decorations on Anniversary Cake
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Anniversary Cake Base allows a total of 5 Decorations in specific positions.  There are three Decorations for Position 5 which is at the top of the Cake as follows:

Sheep Cake Deco
Chicken Cake Deco
Cow Cake Deco

In other words, as they all occupy the same position, you only can place one of these at any given time.

For the rest of the Decorations, positions are:

Position 1: Cake Butter
Position 2: Cake Liquid Chocolate
Position 3: Cake Piping Bag
Position 4: Cake Fruits
Position 5:  Cow Cake Deco/Chicken Cake Deco/Sheep Cake Deco

My advice, therefore is to complete all the Decorations that occupy distinctive positions first and then choose one of the three animal Decorations for the top of the Cake.  Once all those are completed, you can complete the 'alternate' Animal Decorations.


New Farmer Gifts
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Claim the following:

Level 2: 10 Corn, 10 Milk, 1000 Coins
Level 5: 10 Apples, 2 Hedges, 2000 Coins

Level 12: 25 Organic Fertiliser, 50 OP, 1 RC

This completes the Clover Statue, a Decoration that will go to your Gift Box and can be placed on your Seaside Farm.

New Water Well Update
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oddly enough, although I had reached a high number of Sprinklers, the Well now tells me that I should upgrade to Level 2 as follows:

20 Turkey Burgers
10 Pink Rope
10 Water Buckets

Maximum number of Sprinklers 450.

Teams
xxxxx

There are teams in the original Family Farm game and now Seaside has them as well.  The first step is to complete the 'building' that allows you to launch a new Balloon that will give you the option to participate in the Farmer's Fair.  No materials are required.  Simply tap on the little collapsed building to the left of the Gallery to complete it.

The building is the 2nd Guest Centre.  On my farm, it was unlocked automatically but I now have been told by lower level farmers that there are requirements for unlocking it as follows:

You must have unlocked all four areas of the original Mootopia Map.  In other words, you must have unlocked 1 Star Metropolis before you will be able to complete the 2nd Guest Centre.

You then have the following options:

Start a Team
Join a Team

If you choose: Start a Team

You need to choose a specific Pet to go to the Farmer's Fair.  It must be an inactive Pet.

When you have chosen your Pet, you need to choose some products to sell at the Fair.   The first venture will give you the option to sell 5000 Coins worth of a random product.  After that, you must choose your own products which will be consumed.

You then have five minutes to find a team.  This can be 'auto-find' or actually find other farmers to join your team.

The Auto-Find option allowed me to experiment with it.

You find yourself in a little area with 4 Guests.  You will have four Pets to bargain with the four 'Guests'.  While an apparently endless bargaining session goes on, you actually can return home by pressing the 'Home' icon in the bottom left of the screen.  The time is limited actually to one hour. Whenever your goal is met, however, the session can end early.

As indicated, you have an hour I believe to meet your sales goal.  You will receive multiple orders after assigning each pet to a Guest.  My Pet was Level 25 and had full stamina so I never had to feed him but the other Pets lost all Stamina and I had to feed them to allow them to continue the session.  We were successful and I received a Key and then was told to choose a box from five boxes to open.  The box contained one Turtle Card.  As Team Leader, I was told I could open a second Box.This contained 1 Turtle Card as well.

When I attempted to choose my own Team, I had difficulties, even though I had other farmers alerted to the fact that the 5 minute timer was running.  You only see the icon of the Pet the Team Leader is using.  The 5 minutes expired.

I believe the game has created this option to allow players who have not been able to earn sufficient Pet Cards for whatever reason by themselves to earn more.  You only earn 1 random Pet Card, however, at Level 1 unless you create the Team.  I believe that is what 'Team Leader' represents, although my Pet made the most sales as well.

Bear Scarf
xxxxxxxxx

You now can forge scarves for your Bears in the Factory.  Like any other apparel forged in the Factory, it will give your Bear increases in Stamina and Bargaining Power when worn as well as possibly a boost when Guests from a specific area of the Map are invited.

Hedgehog Apparel
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hedgehog Apparel can be purchased in the Pet House Menu in the form of different colours of a Leaf or Apple.  It is worn in the same position as the Belt or Bag for other pets.
