Simple Introduction to the Cloud Farm

29 January:
First Day of the Lunar New Year.
Work in progress:

I have written two very detailed posts now about the Cloud Farm.  They both essentially are walkthroughs, written as I progressed in increasing my Levels and unlocking new areas.  All of my posts are chronological.  Scroll down to find the initial walkthrough and then the advanced Cloud Farm Level walkthrough.

The walkthroughs have not been edited so they may appear less than elegant,  but you should be able to find all the informarion you need.  The most important details are the level requirements for every new option, lists and amounts of materials required for unlocking every new area,  level increases in the Cloud Lab and requirements for every Cloud Farm tech.

I wrote a separate post on the Card Collection Activity.  Note that this is an Activity that connects the Cloud Farm to Seaside in that you can earn card packs by completing actions in the Cloud Farm and rewards include items for the Clous Farm.

(Currently, you can obtain a 3 star card pack daily for sending off your Zeppelin with all orders filled.  Remember that the card menu has a tab that gives valuable card packs when you reach specific point totals.  Even if you no longer need 3 star cards, their value in points will move you closer to the goals that might give you the cards you still need.)

The Cloud Farm operates on Energy and Cloud Coins as well as Reputation points.  It is the same Energy used for the Treasure Island activities.
Not everything will allow you to earn the Reputation points you need to increase your Levels.  Clearing items from the map has no effect.  I am using the Treasure Island terminology here, referring to the Cloud Farm as a map where new areas must be unlocked.  It is a farm as well where you can place Crops, buildings and Animals but beneath it all is a map where objects constantly are being generated.  
Filling orders is what earns both Cloud Coins and Reputation points.  Reputation point totals increase your general Cloud Farm level, unlocking new options.  Orders require the 'wild' items you harvest from the map.  Be aware that enormous amounts of items are required to unlock and activate the techs in the Cloud Lab.

It is the Cloud Farm Lab basically that impacts your gameplay on your other farms through various techs.  Once you unlock the Cloud Lab, you first will find techs for the Seaside Farm.  A second tab has Island techs.  The third has Cloud Farm techs.

All techs follow a specific order and the only way to progress to the next group of techs is by completing at least one of the previous ones.  For requirements, you will see a required experience level for the Lab, but also one that demands that you have completed a 'prerequisite tech'.  The third requirement will be one or more research owls.  There are techs that allow you to earn more owls to work on advanced techs.

In short, there are two different Levels in the Cloud Farm you need  to increase.  One is your general Reputation level earned through Orders.  The other is the Cloud Lab level, each with its own specific requirements.  All of these are documented in my two Walkthroughs.

Cloud Farm Lab techs in my opinion fall into three different categories.

The first is shortening specific crop growth times.  These techs exist for Seaside, the Island and the Cloud.  I did not find them very useful but they tend to be part of a chain that unlocks new and more interesting techs.  I personally found the sprinkler system quite adequate where crop growth times are concerned and sprinklers are not crop-specific.  Wherever a sprinkler is placed, that is where growth time will be shortened.

The second category is automatic harvest or collection of one type or another.  In my view, the point of these is to reduce the need to tap on everything.  I am not terribly enamoured of these myself but again, they are part of a chain.

These techs for Seaside and Island are Batch View and Batch Pick Up.  Production Overview simply shows status.
There also is a Cooking Stand Automation tech that I do not find helpful.  In tandem with the new announcements by Darryl about the cooked dishes consumed, the Cooking Stand now is a mess at least visually and Darryl's interference slows actual work down.

The third category is automatic collection as well but it actually appears to make a difference.  The ones I find interesting are the Bon Voyage collection for Seaside and the One-Tap Sweep for the Island.
These are the highest techs in their respective chains.

The Bon Voyage tech allows your pet to collect 30 bags from the boats of others using batch visits.  The One-Tap Sweep allows me to play the Submarine game and collect coins 5 times daily without being required to go through the map manually.  (I have to confirm whether all farmers have 5 games per day or not.)

So, with the Bon Voyage tech, you can either choose your 15 buddies and 15 of your favourite farmers (or 30 neighbours on whatever basus you wish) to receive a pet visit for their boats or you can reciprocate the visits you had from others.

Another recent addition to the Cloud Farm is the Fountain.  This allows a return of Energy for every 500 Energy spent.  There are a series of upgrades to reach 5 Water Jugs and 50 Energy, all documented in my second Cloud Farm post.

My tip for the Cloud Farm is, while watching your Energy total and Cloud Coin totals is to collect items from the map to fill orders without bankrupting yourself and to try to acquire the new Animals and Trees as they are unlocked.  The Ice Crystal Butterfly Deer is unlocked as a quest when you reach Level 5 and unlock the area with the Cloud Lab.  The others become available in the Market at specific levels.

Note that only a set number of items of any one kind will be generated within any time period.  You therefore may find an item you need for a recipe has become 'unavailable' briefly if you concentrated on collrcting as many as possible within a short time period.

There are two builds with Activities needed to collect badges.  The first is the Adventurer's Zeppelin and the second is the Adventurer's Fortune.  The Zeppelin Orders can be filled daily with orders for Cloud Farm items.  The Adventurer's Fortune is a weekly event with Orders for items from all farms.

I am going to mention the 'free owls' here that are an integral aspect of the Cloud Lab because people are confused often about these.
'One free owl' describes a requirement for learning a new tech.  It does not indicate that you will be given an adfitional owl.  Wgenever you learn a tech, an Owl does the time and the research.  There are techs that allocqte more Owls to you.  These are fairly advanced in the tech again and my walkthrough gives these details.  I have a total of three owls now.  If you have only one owl, you only will be able to research one tech at any given time.  Alao advanced techs may require the research efforts of more than one owl.

Year of the Snake Quest and Chinese New Year Ornament Collection


Tips: You will need 120 Chestnut Flour to complete Island tasks and you will need to collect more Candied Strawberries to prepare the final dish.  
No chest digging required!

N.B.  When you complete step 8, your Reward will be a pink 5 Star Card pack.

I wrote a post about the Card Collection Activity, but perhaps one strategy tip is worth mentioning here.
There are a number of digferent tavs in the Card menu.  One is a series of time- related collections that assign point values to each card and then, within the allocated time period will give you a card pack for meeting four different totals.  The first period ends at reset tonight.  I do not have the game in front of me, but I believe the four rewards required: 50 points, 100 points, 200 points, 300 points.

Suppirr and some players will advise you to save your high star cards to open later, but that is not the whole story.  You need to open EVERY card pack now if you have not reached all four of those goals!  Begin with the 1 Star packs but keep opening until you reach 300 points.  Then stop.  Any unopened card packs can be opened when the new timed point event begins.  Later events will not even count 1 Star card packs towards points.  So open all of those and then keep going until you can collect the 300 point reward before reset tonight.

Forest Exploration Card Collection Event

Some one asked me to write a post about this.  I will make a simple one that I hope will help a little.

19 January update:
2nd event begins:
Point values:
1 star = 1
Green 2 star = 2
Yellow 3 star = 10
Green 3 star = 12
Red 4 star = 12
Pink 4 star= 15
Pink 5 star = 15
Red 5 star = 28

Trades:
100 points for 1 gold 3 star
200 points for 1 red 4 star
300 points for 1 pink 4 star
400 points for 1 pink 5 star
After end of 1st trade event, I saved 10 1 star, 7 2 star, 5 gold 3 star, 1 red 4 star and 1 pink 5 star

With these, I completed the 100 point trade for 1 gold 3 star pack

12 January Update: After completing the float on Treasure Island, raising my Star total to 1500, I received card packs, that allowed me to complete all the Card rewards apart from the last one.  I was missing one 5 star card.

I believe that last card which for me was the Tornado only can be found in a Red 5 Star card.  If that is all you need and are impatient to finish, do not waste money on a pink 5 star card.  It is only on Day 35 that you receive a red 5 Star card as the daily card gift.


First of all, the Event lasts 42 days.  It ultimately celebrates the Lunar New Year.   The object is to collect all of the cards required to claim each reward.  In doing so, you can claim a final Reward in tbe form of 1000 Energy and a Cloud Farm decoration, the Unicorn Rocking Horse.  Like other Cloud Farm decorations, its rewards are time regulated.  Tapoing on it gives RC for the first ten days and Energy every 24 hours thereafter.

Here is a list of all the rewards:
1.  2 RC, 25 Fertiliser
2. 288 Energy, 200 OP
3. Forest Vine Avatar Frame, 50 Super Fertiliser
4. 2025 Topiary, 50 Super Watering Can
5. New Topiary, 388 Energy
6. Angora Wool Fabric Vear Token, 1 Rain
7. Spring Outing Bunny Island Decoration, 50 Gasoline
8.  Year Topiary, 388 Energy
9. Chinese Zodiac Snake Topiary, 50 Power
10. Black-eyed Peas Kimchi Gear Token, 488 Energy
11. Napping Fairy Avatar, 1 Thunderstorm
12. Flower Butterfly Deer Skin for Cloud Farm, 588 Energy

How to obtain the cards you need to complete the Collections:

First of all, the star value of a card is only part of the equation.  The colour of the card determines its rarity.  Some cards will be collected again and again so you will have duplicates.  The most valuable in any category are more difficult to obtain.

There are a number of cash offers that give you cards of dicferent values.  The easiest way to obtain the rarest cards,especially those of 4 and 5 star value, is through cash purchase.  The cards you receive, however, always are random.

Each day, you can obtain cards  performing the folloeing:
Each chest on the Daily Quest path yields 1 card.
The first chest give a blue 1 Star card.
The second chest gives you a green 2 star card.

The third chest gives a green 2 star card.
The fourth chest gives a gold 3 star card.

Reset is the time when a new day begins in the actual Card menu.  Each day when you log into the game, collect the card for that day.

I believe the first time you collect the Dedicated Farmer Bonus after reset, you will receive 1 card.

I received 1 gold 3 star card for sending off the Zeppelin just now in the Cloud Farm.  You receive one each timr you send off the Zeppelin.

Each order on the Order Board includes 1 card as a reward.  Today I saw 1 gold 3 star card, 2 blue 1 star cards (2 Orders), 2 green 2 star cards (2 Orders).

Other ways to collect cards:
The Photo Studio Pass from the next Photo event
The 8th Step of the Special Mission for the next Mission
Reward from the Exclusive Pass

The fourth tab of the Card Menu offers timed Events rewards when you collect specific totals of specific cards for point totals.  The first 7 day event is active now and gives:

Pack Points:
For 50 points: 1 Gold 3 Star card
For 100 points: 1 Gold 3 Star card
For 200 points: 1 red 4 Star Card
For 300 points: 1 pink 5 Star card.

Each event is different and point requirements increase.  For this purpose, point value is both star and colour values.

The fifth tab gives all the cash offers.

Other card yields: No mention was made of this now, but last time, completing the Adventurer's Fortune gave a card.  Also box from Adventurer's Bazaar, but did not see that either this time.  I will continue to monitor both.

Strategy:  some players only open the low star cards in the first weeks and save the 4 and 5 stars for the end.  I simply get on with it.  I hate incomplete quests and activities but also when writing guides, the quicker I can suss it out, the better.

The Magic Returns Treasure Island

Walkthrough now complete as of 11 January  through 1500 Stars.  Includes Snow Globe Machine, Flower Pot House and Dream Crystal Ball Float.

Snow Globe Machine Makes the following: two ingredient Machine, one always Fern Flower:
Lucky Star Snow Globe
Festival Cracker Snow Globe
Light Bulb Snow Globe
Musical Note Snow Globe
Toy Reindeer Snow Globe
Nitrogen Drop Snow Globe

Please note that you cannot reach 1500 Stars without completing the Float!  This is a change from other Treasure Islands.



1st map: 5275 Energy, 36 Diamonds
Second map: 7423 Energy, 66 Diamonds (?)

 I document the materials required for each task.  You can collect them as needed or collect in advance for the Star Rewards.
The significant rewards are the new Snow Globe Machine given for 1100 Stars and the Flower Pot House given at 1300 Stars that no doubt will be a theme decoration in the next Farm Beauty Contest.
The other significant Reward comes from the Trader.  It is a second chance to obtain the Everlasting Flower Machine if you do not have one.

As this Activity coincides with the Card Collection Event, it may be worth mentioning that three of the Star Rewards include Card Packs: 1 Gold 4 Star Pack, 1 Pink 5 Star Pack, 1 Red 5 Star Pack.  Star Rewards extend to 1500 Points in this Treasure Island.

Note that Energy used for the Treasure Island will count towards recovery via Water Jugs on the Cloud Farm.  At Maximum Level, use 500 Energy for 50 Energy (5 Jugs is maximum as well).

Energy Strategy:
You have a number of different options that are based on Energy totals, time and Energy use.

The first of these is the permanent Energy Bar.  The total that determines automatic recovery over time depends on many factors, including the purchase of VIP Pass.  My base is 200.  Farmers who do not boost their capacity usually will be at 100.  What this means is that, whenever your Energy falls below this baseline, you will bevin to recover 1 point every two minutes until it reaches that total again.
Below the permanent Energy is the Temporary Energy bar.  The total here depends on the progrwss you have made on the map.  I try to document whenever I see it increase.  When it first appears, it will be at 100.  By the end,on the second map, it will be 400.
Temporary Energy is kind of the oppoaite of permanent Energy.  It only will begin to accrue when you are at the baseline on your psrmanent Energy or higher.  In other words, if my baseline is 200, Temporady Energy only begins to accrue if I am at 200 or above.  I only can withddaw it and add it to my permanent Energy, however, if I fall below 200.

Another source of Energy is the Trading Energy Fountain.  The cap here to be able to trade at all is 1000 Energy I believe.  

The Trading Energy Fountain is on the left in the area where you begin.

At Level 1, it offers only 30 Energy and you can trade farm aids like Fertilisers and Watering Cans for 30 Energy.  After making a trade, you must wait 8 hours before you can use the option again. I advise using your gems to increase the level to maximum, giving you 200 Energy each time you trade.  As far as I am concerned, gems are useful to increase the Fountain Level and to clear areas that require Golden Tools when you have none.

ENERGY STRATEGY AFTER COMPLETION OF TREASURE ISLAND:

Energy is shared between the Cloud Darm and Treasure Island.  I suggest that ypu do not collect any gift boxes that remqin on the Treasure Island until the last day.

Instead, use your Energy on the Cloud Farm each day until it is reduced to an amount below your permanent Energy cap.  Mine is 200.  Then withdraw ALL temporary Energy.  By the end of the Quest, that should be 400.  Now go to the Trading Fountain and trade for 200 more.  Use it one the Cloud Farm now and collect water jugs as well.  Try to leave your Energy at 200 or whatever your cap is when you leave the game so that temporary Energy will accrue again over time to 400.

N.B.  The Star Rewards as well as Piggy Bank rewards do not need to be collected immediately.  My strategy now is NOT to collect them until I have withdrawn all temporary energy and traded at the fountain.  I then collect rewards so I can advance on the Quest as far as possible.  Try to make certain you can begin to accrue the temporary energy for the next session when you are inactive.

There is a new float linked to this Activity in the form of the Dream Crystal Ball Float.  It gives 15 Power every 6 hours when active in the Parade

Bowling Night Quest and Bowling Pin Collection

Crop List included below.  See both of my Cloud Farm posts for all details relating to the Cloud Farm.

I wish all visitors to this site a Happy and healthy New Year.  I want to thank all those who have shown kindness to me as I went through yet another battle with cancer.  I am not alone in having found 2024 difficult.  
We may not be able to command world leaders to act with morality, ethics, honesty and compassion, hoaever much we wish we could.  What we can do is show compassion and decency in our own lives and in our interactions on social media and in games like Seaside.  We are real human beings with real issues.  

When farmers lash out at neighbours or buddies for not doing what they would like, take a moment to remember that they too are individuals who may be suffering from health issues or grieving from the loss of a loved one.  A small act of kindness or sympathy can change an individual's day.

On a personal note, the 3rd was my mother's birthday.  With absolutely no connection to bowling that features in this Quest, she really liked the New Year option of serving beans for good luck and made Black-Eyed Peas on New Year's Day for family and friends for many decades.  It made me smile to see the dish in this Quest.

New Year traditions in the West include making Roast Pork with Sauerkraut and a Pig moulded with peppermint sugar.  A tiny hammer then would be used to smash the pig into fragments and share it with every one for good fortune.

There are many special breads and cakes that are traditional both at Christmas and the New Year.  

One rather universal custom was to sweep all the dirt and dust through the front door and leave the door open for a time so that all negative and evil influences are driven out.

Some people make a list of positive Resolutions at the New Year.  

I would like to see a kinder world that cares more about people than profit and does not enforce a corrupt 'peace' without recognising the rights of the people who have no power to demand them for themselves.   

Wishing every one the very best: courage with compassion, and the strength to meet every challenge.  Most of all, may you be supported by the power of friendship and love.  People need to be reminded that others still care about them.

Christmas Fair Cloud Farm

This is a 9 day Activity resembling the Collection Missions on Seaside when, claiming one each of the lower prizes will unlock the final Reward.
The final Reward in this case is a Christmas 'skin' for the Prismatic Patisserie.  The skin knocks 30 seconds from production time.

The Cloud Christmas Tree costing 250 Tokens gives Energy five times and then Cloud Farm Gift Bags.  It gave 200 Energy the first time.  It appears that the energy gift does not vary.

As of 26 December, gift boxes that cost 1 Energy to open and contain 30 Energy apoear periodically on the Cloud Farm.
A nice touch!

Note that a third bar appears in the Lab for 'Cloud Farm Techs'.  The techs are given below.

To earn Tokens, you can:
1. Produce limited time items
2. Use Christmas Fireworks Gift Bags
3. Complete Orders on the Cloud Farm

There are seasonal items that appear randomly now similar to those that appeared at the Hallowe'en season.

One yields Christmas Holly using 64 Energy.  The other uses 54 Energy and yields Christmas Bauble Orange

There is a Christmas Bauble Orange Mulled Wine: 4 Christmas Bauble Orange + 1 Spirit Mouse Candy

There is a Christmas Holly Candy Cane= 3 Christmas Holly + 1 Celestial Apple

If you actually wish to earn the tokens, you must sell the items you made from your Gift Box and then tap on the Tokens in your gift box to add them to your total.

From Christmas Holly Candy Cane, 8 Tokens and 20 Energy the first time, but it is random.  I received only 4 Tokens and 30 Energy the next time.
From the Mulled Wine, 5 Tokens, 5 Energy... and so on.  Kind of unfair.  I did receive 1 RC as well as Tokens and Energy with one item, but that was once only.

If you completed 35 Orders before this release, you cannot earn any tokens from Orders until reset.

The final prize requires 300 Tokens.

Christmas Fireworks Gift Bag had 5 Tokens, 1 Blue Mystron, 10 Coins

Note that when you visit a farm that used Fireworks, you can claim a fireworks bag that holds 1 Token.

Warning:  This activity uses a tremendous amount of Energy.  I am at Level 13, and have upgraded the Celestial Fountain a couple of times, but I have used over 5000 Energy and have not been able to claim the Cloud Christmas Tree yet!

Being required to spend 500 Energy before I can claim 35 Energy back at the Fountain is inadequate.

Snowy Christmas Quest and Christmas Candle Collection Mission



Wishing all a blessed Christmas,  whatever name you give this event.  It is the Winter Solstice as well.
I believe it is a reminder for all of us that life is reborn and Light will emerge somehow from the Darkness.

I know it has been a terrible year for many.  A year of loss, a year of pain... but let there be moments still of joy and beauty. And above all, friendship and love, and the strength that comes from those fundamental gifts.
May there be an end to suffering and despair.

From a poet killed last year:
'If I must die,
You must live to tell my story...
Buy a piece of cloth and some strings,
(Make it white with a long tail)
So that a child...
Sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above,
and thinks for a moment an angel is there,
Bringing back love.
If I must die,
Let it bring hope.
Let it tell a story.'
(By Refaat alareer, killed last December
Poem: 'If I must Die.
The entire poem is worth reading.)

Photo Studio Activity December


Guide essentially complete as of 14 December.  

All of these Photo Studio Activities follow the same path.

The ultimate goal can be found by tapping on the large star in the top left of the screen.  There are 25 Levels and two separate paths.  The 'Free' path and rewards are available to all.  The VIP Pass path requires a cash purchase but fives you a new Animal in the form of a Christmas Dragon at Level 20 and a Christmas Carriage Red Box decoration at Level 25.  With the Free path, the final Reward is a Festive Dragon Blue Box decoration at Level 25.

The Christmas Dragon eats Lucky Stars to produce Chrustmas Gift Bags.

Fill the Orders that appear on the left.  Merge the items on the map.  The number of orders will increase ultimately from two to four as your level increases.

This Photo Studio has a Christmas craft theme.

The 'Bubbles' that appear with items inside them are on a timer.  To burst the bubble to make them permanent, you can pay the gem value, use an Ad Skip Card or watch an advert.  It can become costly if you yield to too many temptations to retrieve these items.  Only use the options for the highest level item that allows this with the free options.  I only use gems if I really want to save a high level item.

Note that this Activity has an option to restore Energy, but only when your own Energy goes below 100 or 150 depending on your specific cap.  A timer will activate and Energy increases by two points every minute.

One small tip:  the temporary generator in the form of the Knitted Mittens has a lifespan of 20 items.  Randonly, it can become an Order.  Make certain you do not fill that Order until you produce 19 items from it and the count shows that only one remains.  I sometimes place a Knitted Mitten that has been reduced to 1 in my backpack in case such an Order appears.

Another tip is the Power Boost.  I usually have that activated, but it will prevent you from generating a Level 1  item.  Shut it off temporarily to produce Level 1 items from your generators to complete your chains.

There is a small reward for producing every new item in the Book.

Another situation that is both a benefit and a detriment is the Double Experience points timer.  This only activates at higher levels BUT only when your Energy is low.  Every Order you fill will be worth double the usual points until the timer expires.  When you run out of Energy, a special cash offer will activate in an effort to induce you to use cash to invest before the timer expires.  This does allow you to raise your Level quickly, however.

I have confirmed this now!  The Double Experience Point Bonus will not activate unless your Energy is low, below your cap.  Mine only activated at Level 23!

I do every activity first payibg through to write. Walkthrough like this and then a second time on my lower level farm to see how well one can do if one cannot spend a lot of cash on it.  On my little farm, therefore, thd Double Experience Bonus first activated at Level 11 because I had no Energy reserves.  I then thoughr of a very useful strategy to share here:

When your Energy goes below the cap and is almost entirely gone, do NOT fill the Orders on the Board.  Instead, create all of the items needed to fill the Orders but wait for the Double Experience Bonus to activate and then fill them all for double point value.

Maximum benefit from the activity requires that you pay attention to the board or map and to the Orders constantly.

The map or board has locked squares.  At each new Level, a couple of theae are unlocked.  Some hold new generators.  Others hold items that can be merged.  There is an advantage to having clear spaces on the Board.

At Level 0, you have the Small Craft Box that creates Letter Writing items

At Level 2, merge for Medium Craft Box that creates Paper Trinkets

At Level 4, you unlock the Small Knitting Basket that creates Knitwear

It also produces the Knitted Mitten that is a temporary Generator that produces Snowmen items.

At Level 5, a third Order is added.

At Level 6, you unlock the Christmas Stall that is generates Gingerbread items.

At Level 7, the Power Boost is unlocked.  Tap the switch to produce a higher level of item whenever you use a generator.  Energy cost is higher when the Power Boost is activated.

At Level 8, you unlock your first recipe generator 
in the form of a Purple Christmas Stocking that requires:
Paper Bell + Gingerbread Xmas Tree = Christmas Tree

A fourth Order appears at  Level 10.

At Level 10, you unlock the Medium Knitting Basket thst simply generates higher level  Knitting items.

At Level 12, you unlock the Small Santa's Hut that generates Santa items of apparel.

At Level 14, you unlock the Christmas Shop that now generates Chocolate as well as Gingerbread.

At Level 16, you unlock a second recipe from the Green Christmas Stocking.
Snowman Base + Medium Hot Cocoa= Snowman Ice Cream

At Level 18, you unlock the Large Craft Box.  No new items but generates higher levels

At Level 20, you unlock the Large Knitting Basket.  No new items.

At Level 22, you unlock the Large Santa's Hut that generates both Santa and Reindeer items.

At Level 24, you unlock the third and last recioe in the form of the Pink Christmas Stocking.
Santa's Gifts + Magical Reindeer = Christmas Sleigh

Pocket Camp Complete Review

This post has no direct connection to Seaside, but many of the same individuals who are attracted to games like Seaside love Animal Crossing as well.  In fact, during the pandemic,  Animal Crossing becane a sort of alternate reality for individuals across the entire globe.  It may have been the most played game and individuals who never played a game were inspired to become involved with Nintendo's immersive and deligbtful world of talking animals and museum collections of fossils, insects and fish as well as landscapng and the cross-breeding of flowers.

Animal Crossing originally was designed for the GameCube.  I wrote a guide that was over 1000 pages for that game and it later was released for handheld systems like the DS.

The Animal Crossing New Horizons game for the Switch was the version that took the world by storm during the pandemic.  People were desperate for a safe exit of any kind from the prisons of their own homes in situations of lockdown.  Animal Crossing gave them that and more.

Seven years ago, Nintendo released a sort of free companion game for mobile devices entitled Pocket Camp.  It was a smaller version of the Animal Crossing vision.  Originally, players had a caravan instead of a house to decorate as well as a canpsite but the game was expanded to include a house wirh three floors.

Like every AC game, it was a game of friendships with animals combined with interior and exterior designs of a caravan, house and campsite and the collection of an enormous variety of fish and insects as well as furnishings and a huge array of clothing.  As it was a 'free' game like Seaside, premium items gradually were introduced but the game never became egregiously expensive.

At the end of November, Nintendo shut down the original Pocket Camp but offered an inexpensive new paid version of the game.  Nintendo always has been conscious of the emotional investmrnt of its players as well as the time spent in its virtual worlds.  The new paid Animal Crossing Complete allows a player to keep all existing items from the original but after the purchase of the paid game for a rather inexpensive price, there are no premium items and nothing requires payment in actual cash.

Any version of AC is a collection game.  Items are unlocked in different ways.  There are special collections and landscapes for every season and it is at your campsite that you can create an amazing world for yourself still.

For my part, the extraordinary seasonal landscapes, especially Sakura theme for Spring, falling maple leaves for Autumn and many different landscapes with festive lights and snowy trees and rivers for Christmas made me feel the new game had value.

In seven years, I had become less hardworking in the old game.  If I needed a fish or insect to give to an Animal, I usually could find it in a friend's market stall.  One could buy out of events to some extent.  I still played every day but spent very little time on it.

The new version has revitalised my interest.  The fact that one never needs to spend actual cash again creates a new dynamic.  If a player wants something, it must be earned, but rewards are easily earned and very generous.  With the new currency,  I was able to outfit my character in adorable Christmas attire I could noy havr ad
afforded in the original.  The current lists of special items to add to the catalogue are available for a month.  The pressure is gone now.  There is no pressure either from other players.  Every player can save up to 20 different landscapes and designs now and every player has an Animal helper who will  collect useful items throughout the day.  These were premium options in the other version.

Coins and Leaf Tickets as well as special new themed collections are earned in timed events.

You will unlock new Animals by sending Gulliver's ship out to sea and then using Blather's
Map to bring the Animal to your island.  Every Animal has a special item of furniture that is unlocked for you to craft at a specific level.  Crafting is very much a part of this game.  Items crafted are added to your catalogue and can be used on your campsite, in your caravan, in the house, or stored or sold.

You can fish, catch insects or grow flowers as gifts to Animals to raise their friendship levels and gain rewards.

Animal Crossing is a charming, slow paced game that is educational as well as somehow a stress reducer.

When I have recovered more from these surgical procedures necessitated by a new cancer that invaded, I will write a post with strategy 'tips and tricks', that really are gameplay suggestions really based on the new version.

Meanwhile, if you love Sraside but are finding it increasingly expensive and stressful, you might enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Pocket Camp Complete.  The graphics and Toy Day items are truly magical, especially at this holiday season.

Cloud Farm, Lv. 12 -15, Cloud Lab Level 7 +

My first Cloud Farm post has all information up to Lab Level 7.

As of 2 February, most of the techs, apart from crop growth techs at higher levels are documented here.
After reaching Level 15 and unlocking the Dreamy Veil needed to upgrade the Cloud Lab, at maximum Cloud Lab level.

I wrote an Introduction to the Cloud Farm post separately that gives basics about all of it.

Dreamy Veil requires 1 Ice Crystal Fairy Wand and 5 Celestiak Fox Fur to make, 150 OP.
I previously upgraded the Fountain to Level 5, maximum water jugs to give 50 Energy.  At Level 14 I unlocked the Watermelon Ice Crystal Juice.
Upgrading information for 5 Water Jugs and Fountain that gives 50 Energy is included.  To upgrade to 5 Jugs and 50 Energy, you need the Dreamy Veil outfit that is unlocked only at Level 15 or pay 10 RC which I did.
Requirements given at the end of this post.
I also reached Cloud Lab Level 9 to unlock new techs.

All that remains is to reach Level 15 to unlock the ability to make Dreamy Veils.  These are needed to upgrade the Cloud Lab to Level 10.  Level 10 unlockes a Cooking Stand Automaton Tech.

As of 27 December, I added two Cloud Farm Lab Techs and new Quests.  Information complete through Level 13.

This one will include the new levels up to Level 15 with upgrade requirements.

It might be useful to remind farmers how to register Cloud Farm items in the Gallery.  Although there is a menu in the upowr right that will take you directly to the Gallery, any Cloud items you own will NOT be recognised if you go directly to the Gallery using that icon.

Instead, you must tap on the yellow arrow at the bottom right when you are on the Cloud Farm.  You then must tap directly on the item you wish to register to initiate registration.  I had forgotten this was the case and was dismayed that ownership of my Ice Crystal Butterfly Deer was not displayed when I accessed the Gallery directly from the menu at the top.

Note that a third bar appears in the Lab for 'Cloud Farm Techs'. The techs are given below.
The new Animal will not even appear in the Cloud Farm at low levels.  I was able to claim it but I was at Level 12 before the update.

I contacted Support to find out the actual requirement and it is that you have unlocked the area that contains the Cloud Farm Lab.  If you have not reached this point, you will not be able to perform the quest that gives you the Ice Crystal Butterfly Deer.

Here is the good news.  There is a tikevlimit only after you meet the requirement of unlocking the area.  The quest will appear automatically then and the 9 day period will begin.

More than one farmer had asked about Production Overview.  There are two techs.  One for Seaside and the other for the Island.  Both operate the same way.

What it really is for the farmer is a way to minimise taps.  Instead of tapping multiple times to fill machines and animals to full capacity, tap once and the rest is done automatically.  

In similar fashion, tap once to collect all finished products from every animal or machine.

No cost in OP to use the tech.

To raise the Cloud Lab to Level 7, you will need:

50 Starfruit Serum
150 Star Princess Gown
2 Fortune Badges
15000 Cloud Coins

Level 7 at this point is the MAX for the Lab.

New Techs unlocked on the Island are:

Helicopter Flight
Conditions are:
1. Cloud Lab Level 7
2. Conplete the Prerequisite tech
To raise the Level from zero to 1, you will need:
20 Starfruit Serum

1000 Cloud Coins
Timer set for 4 hours

Grandpa's Quest:
Harvest Celestial Starfruits
Reach Cloud Lab  Level 7
40 Energy, 150 C. Coins, 80 Reputation
