## Guides

* This event consists of building products to sell and/or upgrade to other products. This event occurs in the timeline before the flooding and the ice age which has shaped the main game.
* These are tried and tested methods for great results - it is not the only way, but a collaboration from the community. This guide is not definitive, but if you are struggling, it is good to reference and try out.
	+ Production buildings cap at level 8
	+ Production speed upgrade (2nd building upgrade) level 230
	+ Last Milestone reward is 1ee
	+ Hero level caps at level 300
	+ Build Master and Ace Driver skills cap at level 30
	+ Samba Queen, Farmer, Machinist, and Gold skills cap at 60.
	+ Dock upgrades cap at level 28 each (not shown in game).

## Guide for beginners

* 3 sets of 10 skillbooks may be purchased from the store, for 150 gem each (totaling 450 total gems). These only reset when the event comes around again. Use them wisely. 100 free coins for the slot machine can be collected each day (50 for free and 50 with ads, with 10 minutes intervals between each claim of 10 coins)
* If this is your first time playing, you may want to skip the book purchases. Get used to the event, play around with it, and grab these next time.
* Event milestones contain 100 diamonds. Leaderboard positions above 30th earn additional diamonds.

## Slots

* Spend diamonds sparingly unless you plan to compete for the top positions in the leaderboard.
* You may consider spending some coins at the start of the event to try and get Skill Books from the slots.
* Spend whatever is left of your limit on coins at the end to try and get cash jackpots.
* Recommended to always spin in triple Spins (x15 coins).

## Cash Purchases

* Buy at your own leisure, BUT the event is not Pay to Win, at least for the milestones, which are all attainable without spending cash. Concerning the leaderboard, it will still take time and dedication, but you can get a good rank at the end of the event for free.
* If you have the money to spare and are dedicating the time this weekend and going for #1 spot, you may want to consider buying the Grandpa's Golden Statue. Again this will not guarantee a win.
	+ The statue is a single purchase, meaning this is not permanent and you have to buy this for every event and will not carry to future events. This goes to the same event to Vain Castle, Evil Fur Factory, Elden Tree Village nor Fish Farming.

## Build Order

* Task list is generally reliable, building Production/ Quantity rather than Speed upgrade. At building level 6 start working on the next building and come back to max it later. Money is best used elsewhere.
* Docking Station, buy 4 vans early on, and avoid upgrading the stations (save the money for other buildings). Vans fill bays from the most expensive product to the cheapest, but it is still better to close off old stations and only sell the most recent one or two products to ensure your best products are selling and stockpile resources.

## Heroes

* Level all heroes evenly until you reach Pizza, then check the Production Chain and level them accordingly.

## Endgame

* Buy all other upgrades (speed, vans, docks, etc). The last few hours, open every dock, buy/sell anything you can, and try for Jackpots with those gems/coins.
* Maxed Load Capacity on Loading Docks:
	+ Wheat: 136B Load, 1.36T Cash Income
	+ Corn: 68B Load, 61.2T Cash Income
	+ Bread: 33.6B Load, 78.93aa Cash Income
	+ Eggs: 18B Load, 4.23bb Cash Income
	+ Soybean: 10B Load, 7.3bb Cash Income
	+ Milk: 5.2B Load, 10.1cc Cash Income
	+ Pizza: 2.244B Load, 2.25ee Cash Income

## Haystack Hustle

* As of the v1.7.1 update, Haystack Hustle was added to this event.
* In this mini-event, you are competing against 5 players to win prizes.
* Your score is determined by the number of spins you're doing during this mini-event.
* Each iteration is 2 hours long.
* The first one starts when you start the event, and then it appears randomly.
* The prizes you can get are:
	+ 1st place: 100 gems, 100 coins, 20 books
	+ 2nd place: 30 gems, 50 coins, 15 books
	+ 3rd place: 10 gems, 20 coins, 10 books
	+ 4th to 6th place: 10 minutes cash, 10 minutes hearts

## Soar to New Heights

* Soar to New Heights is a new feature added in version 1.7.1.
* In this feature, you get points every time you complete a task or spend gems in the event.
* One task completed gives you 3 points, and you get 1 point per gem spent.
* There are 12 levels of points, each giving additional rewards:
	+ Lvl 1 (20 points) : 10 coins, 15min of cash, 15 min of hearts
	+ Lvl 2 (60 points) : 10min Buff
	+ Lvl 3 (120 points) : 10 coins, 3 books
	+ Lvl 4 (210 points) : a 10min Buff
	+ Lvl 5 (300 points) : 20 coins, 20min of cash, 20min of hearts
	+ Lvl 6 (420 points) : 20 coins, 5 books
	+ Lvl 7 (540 points) : 10min Buff
	+ Lvl 8 (660 points) : 20 coins, 20min of cash, 20min of hearts
	+ Lvl 9 (810 points) : 20 coins, 5 books
	+ Lvl 10 (1000 points) : 10min Buff
	+ Lvl 11 (1200 points) : 20 coins, 5 books
	+ Lvl 12 (1500 points) : 10min Buff
* A Buff is a 10 minute discount on spins. Once it is activated, each 1x spin costs only 3 coins, instead of 5 (and 3x spins cost 9 coins instead of 15).
* **WARNING!!!** When you claim a reward including a Buff, this one is directly activated. You can claim rewards out of order, and keep your Buffs unclaimed to activate them later.

## 55x stock trick

* In Grandpa's Farm, the amount of money received from ads and spins is not determined only by your money income, but also by your stock of products. Here are the steps to follow to ensure getting the maximum amount of money:
	+ Look at how many items you're selling per truck.
	+ Multiply that amount per 55.
	+ The number you get is how high your stock of this item must be to get the maximum amount of money from spins. Stop selling the item if needed to build your stock. Once you have enough in stock, start selling again to update the money in spins/ads.
	+ You don't need to keep your stock that high all the time. Once you hit the 55x number, you'll always get the maximum amount of money with spins, even if your stock starts lowering.
	+ You only need to repeat this trick when you upgrade a dock or the Ace Driver skill.

## Strategy

* There are two main strategies to get all milestones in this event: the Milk strategy, and the Pizza strategy.
* Milk Strategy:
	+ This strategy uses Milk to produce the most money possible.
	+ Focus on Samba and Machinist for the skills. Upgrade Samba at the start to get to Bread faster, then upgrade Machinist. You want Samba around lvl 15, and Machinist as high as you can.
	+ This strategy will get you all milestones, and a decent rank in leaderboard without using any gems. However, getting a top 10 in leaderboard will require some luck.
	+ This strategy allows a steady progress throughout the event until you reach Milk.
* Pizza Strategy:
	+ This strategy uses Pizza to produce the most money possible.
	+ Focus on Build Master, Samba and Gold Sales for the skills. Start with Build Master and Samba to get to Pizza faster.
		- You want Build Master between lvl 20 and 30, Samba around lvl 15, and Gold Sales as high as you can.
	+ This strategy will get you all milestones, and a better rank in LB than the Milk strategy, since Pizza is more expensive.
	+ However, this strategy is a slow one, especially at the beginning. Since the focus is on Pizza, other items prices are not improved, so getting to the Pizza building might feel long. This is why upgrading Build Master is important.
	+ This strategy requires more books than the Milk one, so depending on your luck you might need to buy coins with gems/money.
