where are the expansion materials???

I know that is shouldnt be easy to find land expansion materials....but they are impossible to find or get. I have noticed that I use to get a lot more LEMs and BEMs and now I'm getting nothing. This is ridiculous. I also notice that if you go to the high rollers on the global boat boards and look at their markets, they have boxes and boxes full of this stuff for sale. How is it that they can fill their boxes with 10 in each box of deeds, mallets, and markers??? Supercell, please check into this and make it a more fair playing field for everyone.

The high rollers have massive barns big enough to store major amounts and then do mass yard sales when things get tight. If they do a lot of wheating, they can rack up huge amounts that they then sell in bulk during these sales.

The entire idea of making it difficult to find some of the expansion items is to encourage the buy/sell core of the game. What you need is more neighbors that you can buy from. More neighbors means you'll likely find someone who's farm has a high tape drop rate while you're always needing tapes (or whatever item). They sell their excess and, of you're timing is good, you'll be at their RSS to buy them before one of their other neighbors does.

Add your name to the GC Add Me thread that can be linked to from the Main Guide on the first Page of General and New to Hay Day. You'll also find links to the trading threads that can be helpful to you. Just keep in mind that trading is not a game feature and not supported so is always at your own risk.

Another thread that may be helpful to you is:

This is where generous folks donate items to folks in need. Please read the rules carefully. You cannot request items but can only claim what's been offered. The idea is that you will, when you can, do the same for someone else.

Another thing to think about is that at times, what you see that appears to be folks that have sold massive quantities of expansion materials, is actual old, old sales designed to entice you to follow that farmer. They are left in the RSS to give the illusion that they sell all of this stuff all the time. I follow one farmer where the right sixteen boxes are full of ten expansion materials each, all sold. Those boxes never change. Only the left four boxes change.

Expansion materials are like the tide; their abundance ebbs and flows. A few days ago, I was not encountering many. Last night, I leveled up a silo with all that I found. Keep looking through the DD. Put in some time and you will find what you need.

So true. Thank you for adding this pointer that it could also be that those boxes are older and purposely left up. I have several neighbors who do the same. Each time they have a stack, they add it right next to previously sold stacks that they've kept up.

I guess these folks consider it marketing, although I think it is more of a bait and switch. I sometimes will friend one of these stands but if I go back later and nothing changes, I'll remove it. For me, I'd rather have folks stopping by because of what I'm selling, not because I once sold something. But everyone can choose their own playing method, that's the beauty of choices

I am new to the game but it looks to me that without actively trading for land deeds you will NEVER open up the expansions, and of course drown in the rest of the LEM's in the process. You can't go wheating to try for something if you are already completely starved of all resources to begin with.

Wheating only give me saws, tnt´s, axes or dynamite, even the pets just give me the same stuff ALL the time. In my neighbourhood WE ALL are in need of planks and wood panels. So don´t tell me I can get them wheating, the DD is aways the same stuff, never find what i need and all the planks are always sold. I have hundreds of neighbours and is the same thing nobody sells or all is sold all the time. We have a very low rate on these things, we need more!!! Is so boring lose hours in DD to find nothing. Isn´t weird that ALL neighbourhood need the same thing?? :mad:

I get panels all the time... and during the past night, I got planks and bolts... but, not tapes... >.>

other times I get so much tapes I do not know what to do with them... maybe use some to... uh... I mean, sell some.

I've been doing "wheating" and i'm not lying when i say i've been doing it for HOURS. I've received ONE mallet. Challenges are nice- but this is becoming frustrating. And with the new neighborhoods, i don't see any expansion materials anymore.


Mallets, duct tape, bolts seem to be my main issues. But even the items i normally get frequently- but am in need of- i all of a sudden no longer get those either… I love Hay Day, but getting materials is enough to want to pull my hair out!


I actually refuse to "trade" because of that. I know if i trade, say, my surplus of land deeds for mallets, i no longer will get the deeds! How it always works!!

I find them in the RSS mostly...
