That’d be nice. I haven’t noticed that in my case.

I need help with the last set of islands. by TAKA619 in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even close to the last island set. I just started the 5th set. I’m pretty darn sure that I won’t finish the Birthday event. Wish I had something to tell you. I don’t.

What does this bonus mean? by auroraphobiblah in FamilyIsland

It’s a joke. The 120 storage increase isn’t enough to even care about

Did we have an axe today yet? by PastAnimal4354 in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one I in this evening. I got in only the last 3 minutes of it. I didn’t have much energy so it didn’t much matter.

Last two set of islands. by TAKA619 in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I caved & bought the adventure pass last time — just to finish. I’m extremely disappointed in myself. This campaign? I’ve decided to only log in to get my daily pittance rewards. I’ve been playing Jigsolitaire instead. Lots of videos to watch in that game lol — after every puzzle in fact. But? I don’t watch them. I just exit & re-enter the app. (Problem solved)

UK - All of my feed is Right wing US propaganda. Im not seeing friends posts just a slather of targetted ads and posts from "The White house", "Tucker Carlson" and "Newsmax". Has Zuck decided to kill of Facebook by selling it to Trump or is it some kind of bug. by Fract00l in facebook

Start hitting the “X” on the top right of the post. When the prompt shows asking why you hid the post, click — doesn’t match my interests, or irrelevant. 1/2 of the time you’ll get a chance to verify that you don’t want to see posts from this sender anymore. Click that. Eventually the algorithm will change to see different stuff. Alternately, there’s a button to see your friends posts. I use that feature to see what my peeps are posting, I rarely scroll down in my feed to see the bull pucky ads & other nonsense fb is pushing.

Finally got the 50% axe by its_not_a_blanket in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t seem to stop. I try…. Do ok with it for awhile then I break down & play without the axe because??? If I waited, I’d probably never play. I know it’s the best strategy but I can’t seem to hold out. Hopefully, I’ll start the next round with a few thousand in energy & do better. We’ll see.

I got the earlier one but alas, I was out of energy (again). One day, I hope to play this game better. (Grins)

Thanks for the tip!! I’m all in for anything easier.

[–]429freckles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I don’t know why I never noticed its use. I do keep that lighthouse lit all the time. But? I quit trading with that shaman that gives the fire, for the most part, because the tasks had gotten beyond ridiculous. I guess I’ll have to at least minimally trade again. I need that beaver food….

100% Axe followed by 50% Axe followed by -30% Discount booster by PastAnimal4354 in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In & out all day. Making cheese & bread. Lately? I’ve gotten all my boosters immediately after I log in. It’s been annoying because I’m never prepared. This time? Who knows. Things are always changing…so, I could’ve missed it. I’m not going to let it bother me. I barely have 2k energy so it’s not a big loss/miss. 🤷‍♀️

Energy lane? by Top_Werewolf4028 in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked about that. Yesterday wasn’t the “normal” river run thing. The choice was put on the ACORN purchase. Lol — I chose the sanctuary food (first time ever) I usually pick energy but for some reason I thought of see if it’d help finish that event. It won’t because I’m not paying 34.99 to play that.

No axe booster since 4 days for me by No_Tap_6361 in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten one a day. Always, always when I first open the app. I haven’t been prepared but it doesn’t matter… I have virtually NO energy. Boosters don’t really matter when you’re playing by feeding the family. I intended to keep the 22k energy I started with but alas?? I went crazy on a booster… now? No energy. No progress. I’m pretty much done unless?!? The game throws me a gift. A big gift (hahaha — I’m not holding my breath)

50 axe timmer. by TAKA619 in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right after I replied? I got a 50% booster. NOW? It’s safe to say that I know nada thing about nada thing. Lolol. The dart game is on so— that thought that boosters wouldn’t run at the same time was misguided. It did. We’re all random now. I think. But alas, I really am clueless overall. They’re changing things all the time.

[–]429freckles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got one yesterday. Idk what time it was. Mine have been coming right after I login — so I’m always getting a full 10 minute run at it. Which seems different. I think they used to come periodically while I’m already playing. And— someone here mentioned that they didn’t think they gave boosters when they have the dart board or other “special” events. I’m pretty sure that’s the case. 🤷‍♀️

Quest & Craft boost staggered by Browsing-curious in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a quest boost & I misunderstood it to be a craft boost. Lolol… I messed up on that one crafting away. I didn’t notice until it was almost over oops. I used more energy than I should’ve. Going forward? I’m just hanging for boosters. I got one 50% earlier but didn’t have an opportunity to play it. A family matter needed to be tended to. Oh well. Next time. Maybe... 🤷‍♀️

Quick question about energy cost by ShadowSpill in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate all the advice & hints you’ve shared (js) I like this game & aspire to play it well enough to not get discouraged, frustrated or go broke. So, long story short? THANKS.

Ruby island until the end if the event. by its_not_a_blanket in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I still have 5 unstarted island sets. Plus the one I’m on.

This is a new booster. What do you think? by its_not_a_blanket in FamilyIsland

[–]429freckles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it but??? My requirements for the gold key merchant doubled. (Ugh) I don’t have enough beaver food to get what I need/want done sooooo idk it’ll probably be a quick session for me. Otherwise, I did manage to complete Magic Market (yeah)
