The Hay Day Scorched Earth Challenge (ver 2.0)

[Tiggerr129]

I think I am going to do this in a slightly different way. I am going to rearrange my machines so that they are in the order that you get them and only use the next machine after I have ten of each on the previous. I realize that the next machine might use up those ten but those ten will be the threshold to start the next machine and that machine will need ten of each to start the next. Not sure if this is even possible but I want to do something slightly more like starting over.

I am not going to do the jewelry part since I won't buy or use diamonds for rings so I won't be selling off all my shovels etc.

I probably won't be helping any boats from my old farm so anyone who is used to Tiggerr129 helping them should send a Friend request to my Tiggerr Two farm which will be operating as usual. Plus my daughters farm Arnold127 will be getting a lot of my goods so she can help too.

So I am off to rearrange my farm, will keep wheating in the mean time as I sell off. It might take me a while so I'll let you know when I start.

Edit. While looking for the order of machines, I found the wiki which tells you what product comes when so I am going to vary my procedure to follow it. So after 10 breads, I'll go to the first item on the dairy etc. this might get complicated.

Hi Tiggerr

I'm going to have to read the first posts to see what this is all about, sounds interesting, but I like your idea of rearranging things like you are. I try to shake things up all the time to stave off boredom and my farm is a mess right now as I play with ideas. Limited time and the horrible drag and snap back from where you got an item is making me take longer to rearrange things. I wish they had a design mode...but that's another topic. I'm going to visit your farm to see how you're doing things. Good luck with it.

Now on to find what this scorched earth challenge is all about...

OMG!! How come I never read this post before??? This sounds awesome! As soon as I reach level 66 I'm going to give this a try. During the summer I sold everything in my barn. I wanted to clean out the goods that were beginning to mold...lol. I didn't sell my crops, just my produced items. I used everything up until I had nothing left and started over with the goal of 15 of each in mind. I reached the goal and that was fun. THIS challenge sounds great!

I started a new thread because I had more ideas and wanted input. I am not all that interested in timing myself, but I am curious as to if I will complete the thing as planned. I.e. Not producing an item until I unlock it and avoiding buying things in the dirt while still looking for BEM and SEM. That might be my biggest challenge.

[Tweezle]

That sounds really interesting Tiggerr, but it can get REALLY tedious as it is, if you enjoy Haydaying you may not enjoy it.

After a bit of a break I'm thinking of doing a Scorched Earth Scavenger Hunt. Same start and end as Scorched Earth, but you can hire Tom and buy from the DD in addition to making items. So a bit of cunning and random luck to get it done as quickly as possible. No trading or buying from friends so that anyone can do it on an equal basis.

[Goobster1963]

Both these sound like fun. I always need to shake things up a bit. Every few days I stop producing products that require sugar and dairy and get my quantities of these things up to at least 75 of each. Lately I'm on a sugar/dairy max kick. Shakin' up my productions! When the new update comes out I'm sure there will be lots of new things to experiment with. Keep us posted because I love to hear what others are doing and to give new things a try.

Oh wow! This is quite the challenge!

I think someday I would like to try this, but I haven't unlocked everything yet.

Oh wow! This is quite the challenge!

I think someday I would like to try this, but I haven't unlocked everything yet.

It WAS quite the challenge Muggaloo. To recap: I started out with 1.5 million coins and over 100 diamonds. My barn and silo were at 3000 each, which means I had LOTS to get rid of....
But get rid of it I did. I even stripped all my trees, sold everything I had X10 for 1 coin to deplete my money, and got rid of diamonds by making purchases of stuff I didn't want. To rid myself of all the extra coins, I bought high ticket items for full price from the DD, and resold them X10 for 1 coin. Got rid of all my expansion items too. So when I started I basically had nothing except what you normally start with.

In saying all this, the past 30 days have been really challenging. I'm no hero... just wanted to do something different eh.
It was fun. I'd do it again maybe when I reach 2,000,000 coins again or maybe I'll do Tiggerr's challenge

I'M FINISHED!!!!!!!!!


At 1.46 PM today my last chocolate bar finished. That makes it 23 days 3 hours and 6 minutes to complete Utterly Ridiculous mode, which includes Candy Crush and Metal Insanity.

I was so paranoid of accidentally using something I shouldn't that I hardly did anything at all in the last hour!

[Tiggerr129]

Great job tweezle. I understand about accidentally doing stuff. I woke up today and grabbed my ipad to harvest everything to sell off and accidentally fed a goat so that's eight more hours before I can start. I misjudged my trees and some of them have another harvest before they die. I moved them up to the end and you all will have to trust me that when they come in, I'll sell the fruit

Rammie, I didn't think scorched earth required you to get rid of your diamonds or cash. Wow. You really got scorched. I am not getting rid of my cash since you only get cash strapped because of the need to buy machines. At my level all you have to buy is trees and I never had any problem getting those and since technically I'll only need a few, I might just buy them two at a time to see how many you need to make all the goods plus have ten on hand.

[Tweezle]

Er, Cheddar, how did you work out the timing for Utterly ridiculous mode? Because I've come in a smidgen faster, and I did the metal faster than the candy.
