Best tip from forum posts

What's the best tip (so far) you ever got from reading forum posts? I'm at level 47 now so I'm guessing this might change as I get to higher levels or play for longer time.... My best tip so far was reading about trashing truck orders or sending boats away with no boxes filled. If there is a bad consequence for this, I haven't found it, and it is so stress relieving to know I don't have to fill every order or every box. Or wait all day for those 3 chocolate cakes to finish baking! I now have started trashing any order for metal bars, since it takes so long to make the darn things, and I'm trying to build my inventory of jewelry. Trashing orders is a great strategic tool!

I have no guilt now about being very selective in my orders. I trash anything over 2 required unless it is silly simple. I also trash any order that requires dairy (exception being ice cream cones) and any order asking for sugars. I delayed making jewelry for some time but now have 5 smelters running full time. Those jewelry orders are great as you get vouchers. Yesterday I got 2 gold vouchers which was really a surprise!

I am level 64 , and just last week learned by reading the forum that the exclamation tab next to the friends and followers tabs actually can contain content. What a time saver!

the best tip, though, I saw I think yesterday. I had never thought to fish selectively, dropping the line until my cast attracts a fish with a small circle, therefore rare. Wow! Since then I am getting much better fish.

and, off hay day topic directly, learning to do a screen shot was great overall knowledge to have.

i never feel like I am wasting my time when on this forum.

i wasted at least 100 hours of my life on this forum lucky you

Lol. That's an impressive number of posts since September!

My favourite tip from this forum is how to maximise the use of Tom - by having him fetch shovels to win back his cost in diamonds. I've done this twice now and even if I don't recoup all 15 diamonds, I've made at least ten or twelve of them back plus you get all the other items he fetches too (normally diamond rings for me). Happy farming all!

Mine was that you can cast off unwanted boats.

best tip EVER: That there are players here on the forum that will help and educate you, all you need to do is ASK

I am talking specifically about the wonderful ladies on the late lamented Captain III thread, and those who still work the Turbo Trucker thread - I NEVER would have had the guts to try those achievements without their help and support

Besides the tips already mentioned, I was glad to find out that I could rapidly flip from neighbors-to-neighbors roadside stand by tapping the neighbor icon on the stand. And if you make sure the friend bar is minimized, you can flip even faster.

Wow, I am learning more as I read this thread! Thanks for the Tom tip.
