Yeah! I just got back from my red box bonanza! I have been doing things the hard way, tapping the x and waiting for a new box to appear. using the tap near locked boxes method i just got lots and lots of coins, but also nails, duct tape, and, incredibly, a much coveted bolt! What a great thread. Thanks!
I too, got it from this very helpful forum, I used to spend very hard worked for diamonds on the boxes for not very much at times, until I read the forum :( Haven't looked back since :)Quote:

The sugar tip was actually quite simple, I can't find the original but it involved opening up all your slots and then alternating brown and white during the day and loading up syrups during the night. The OP suggested not using any sugar for 24 hours til you build up stock, but after that you should have a good supply if you run your sugar mill continuously. It worked for me, sugar boats hold no fear any more! I have adapted it a little for dairy, but possibly due to my small barn size it's not quite as smooth yet.
Yes, you can really rake in the items. I did this for about forty minutes tonight (watching a movie with my boys) and I earned: 3 planks, 1 nails, 1 saw, 1 bolt, 2 green vouchers, and 4056 coins.Quote:

I also recommend using Greg's farm as your recurring farm of choice. I find that more often than not, the box will appear very close to his farm house, making finding it a lot easier.
This thread is working just like I hoped it would. Lots of tips shared, lots of new stuff to try. I did not know about getting the box to open without paying. Have bookmarked that page so I can practice. Also, great tip about working the sugar mill. I do always load up all the slots on lots of machines before sleeping, but duh, hadn't put it together that I should choose the things that take the longest to make to make overnight.
Another tip I got from another thread is not to cling to every single land, barn, silo expansion item indefinitely. That just fills up the barn so you have even less room to build inventory of stuff you make. It's definitely more of a juggling act when you are 1st starting out, but it gets easier and easier.
i learned on here to keep machines running non stop, either for stuff to sell or to have some basic inventory on hand to fill orders quicker. I sell a lot of chicken feed in sets of 6 at full price, because the ckn pen holds 6chickens and we all have chickens! So again, a lot of farmers starting out will snap up chicken feed because so many things you make need eggs. And those busy hens seem always hungry.
This game is so simple and yet so complex...no wonder it lures us in and gets its hooks into us! I totally love it, there's always something else to learn, something else to master!
Gosh, I'm happy my tip about the mystery boxes has been so helpful, and thanks to those who explained it even more fully. Learned this tip ages ago and glad to pass it on to our newer players out there!
Here's another little tip. When some of your bushes are dead (like the coffee beans), don't cut them down but move them to the squares directly behind your house. Can't remember exactly, but I think there are 6 of them? That way you won't lose something important there in case you "drop" it accidentally behind the house. Having the bushes there prevents anything else from settling in those spots and you'll never even see them. Saves on axes too!
I'm indecisive so I have a few!
• casting away hard to fill boats
• deleting ridiculous truck orders - if it's under 600 xp I most likely delete it, unless it's easy items.
• cheap wheat is cheap for a reason
• the toolbox trick
• news paper refresh trick
• that you can tell Tom no till he brings you 9 items!
So the newspaper trick. Do you get out of hay day and re-enter?
