  • I checked where I am at with coins,
    Chard @ 1.59 Mil 177 soups to go - 744 cryst
    Rich @ 1.3 Mil 793 soups to go - 763 cryst

    Rich might be higher in coins than Chard when soups run out.

    I am hoping that I inject 3 to 5,000 berries yesterday and today in each of the accounts. That should help boost muds and sticks. [5,400 berries make 100 sticks]
  • @InHisName trade as many lower food chain items as possible if you want soup, so berries carrots and rocks... If all you want is soup you can starve the other animals a bit.
  • Since Rovio is extreamly slow with update, I am maximizing coins per soup. So that means make LOTS of muds & sticks and only use them for soups.

    Just more tedious than ever ! [5,400 berries become 100 sticks!]

    That's 9 hours of berry collecting without missing a single one. Or miss 50% and take 18 hours to collect them.
  • Ah, that makes sense, your going for quality not quantity...I feel like I need soup more than $$ and take any single recipie for berries, carrots stones feathers mud and sticks. I do try to keep the cave full + of all these things to trade.
    9hours of berry collecting is super dedicated :)
  • @InHisName, I think you have you berry to stick ratio off by a factor of 10, I count:
    54 berries for 1 stick so 540 berries to 100 sticks.

    Considering the whole fully boosted/decorated food chain required: Berry, Carrots, Leaves, Bones, Fish
    I calculated that every:
    Mud takes 5h15 to produce
    Stick takes 7h52 to produce

    I do not take into account the parallelism that is achieved by multiple animals.

    As @Kelski I soup almost everything, but now giving priority to high coin return, if I can average 450 coins per recipe, I will make it to 2 million before requiring a new animal (I need to rearrange before adding 3 new land whales and 4 bear owls, might be rearranging sooner than expected as the upgrade does is "Coming soon"....)
  • @MisterGif 54*100=?
    Lets do basic math... :)

    But i kinda admire ur tenacity, i'll keep making some feeding when i visit or when im doing nothing (compilation time^_^) but thats it for me until the update. I'll visit till i've 700 crystal to update the 2 next bushes.
  • Anyone know of another redeem code besides GREATDAY?
    BTW I have officially run out of room for homes and almost all of my animals are at 5, but I need coinage in order to max out all of the lil' critters as I wait for the update.
  • does anybody know when they are bringing out the next level? I've done everything and I want to carry on with the game and get the rock off his son :)
  • @dina-cann A lot of us are in the same boat. some have been there for over a month. Maybe it's Rovio's way of letting a lot more people catch up so more of us start on the same level when they finally bring it out? Problem is if they wait too long they may lose some people who get tired (or bored) of waiting.

    Some people thought the update would be in July, some speculate it will be in October when the movie goes to DVD - If that's the case, then we have a while to wait yet.

    I am hoping that it is only Thunk underneath the rock and that there will be "busywork" for us to do to rescue Eep, Guy and Sandy as well.

    I am not sure if I want to build too much coin or stock, but think I will build my gem collection.
    :)
  • @lucylastic - nice one just a waiting game now,
    anybody where I can get more crystal apart from the code greatday and not adding people on facebook, can't have anymore friends on my facebook see
  • @dina - are you on IOS ? (ipad iphone etc) - if yes try the game centre a few of us are on there as well as facebook. Some people have made a facebook account just fro croods - that is also an option?
  • @dina-cann just use a secondary FB account i use mine for all the games...
    As for the waiting, im on lvl 21 since end of may... But rovio just added rovio account to all their games, im hoping now that it's done the croods upgrade will get priority.
  • @KentJo and @dina-cann, did you manage to place all homes with the extra 15% boost from the decorations?
    That's a nice challenge to keep you busy!
  • All allowed homes build? Check!
    All allowed homes fully evolved? Check!
    All allowed animals caught and tamed? Check!
    All allowed animals fully (soup) boosted? Check!
    All allowed animals fully extra 15% boosted by decorations? Check!
    Enough money? 1.7M Check!
    Enough crystals? 600. Check!

    What to do until next update?
    I really have nothing to do anymore.
  • Well now Namoh, lets see what I can dream up now for an award....

    I got it !
    10,000 sticks in the floaters !
    All you need is to collect and harvest 540,000 berries !
    Be the first (and only? ) to bother to try for that award.
  • All is done except for bringing the Zeavers up to 5 and getting all the Bear Owls and Land Whales, and adding the Dreamcatcher. I have all the other homes and decorations but for the life of me, I can't figure how to make room for everything.
  • I think Namoh could build 5 homes for ppl seeing his guest account. :D
  • No messages here for July 31 at all ! We're slowing up.
    For those not reading up in their FB items.....

    FB says I have 123 friends. 122 of you are playing "The Croods". Some of you are newer friends and have missed the searching and attempted fixing of issue of seeing your guest account instead of your Rovio level 21 playing field. At end of several weeks of problem solving we concluded that it is a bug in Rovios software and they will have to fix it sometime. Another bug is maybe 1/3 of you do not appear in my neighbor visit listing. Rovio will be fixing this one too in next update.

    They responded to inquiry and verified its a bug and will be fixed in next update. None since May. We may have some more long waiting yet to go.

    Meanwhile we have a work around for the problem of visiting a neighbor and there are zero or one animal home. Thusly only one gift at a time or none. To fix just logout of your Rovio account in settings. You will be automatically dropped into your guest account. Spend an hour getting 5 animal homes fully complete. You may not need to trap and train the 5th animal as long as the home is complete. Now for those stuck seeing your guest can at least get 5 gifts on single visit. Yes, we still cannot see your level 21 or whatever, but that's the breaks with a bug.

    If you have only just started playing and are below level 6, spend an hour to push your game to level 6 and all will be well for us neighbors to visit and get 5 gifts.

    These are the probably the guest accounts that I see ZERO animal homes: Daniel Wenglarz, Monique Moss, Violeta Dimitrova, and Warren Simpson

    These are probably the guest accounts that I see ONE animal home: Derek Grose, Curdi da Silva,and Namoh Snamoh.

    These have 3, but need build 2 more in guest account: Tracy Powell,

    Anyone else that sees less than 5 gifts for any of your friends, post here in comment. Maybe we can get over half to see this note and fix us up to getting 5 gifts at one visit.
  • I've added 5 complete homes and 1 in progress, it should be ok now.

    *update* just checked with one of my friends in real life and he sees the homes and could get 5 presents in one go! *update*
  • Here we go: 140 FB friends seen in Croods out of 200+ friends, but a few do not play Croods

    5 friends with 0 home (Adam H., Jeff K., Saood Web D., Violeta D. and Zak U.)
    4 friends with 1 home (Curdi da S., Heather F., Ilinca Maria M., Sendy Deva P.)
    1 friend with 3 homes (Siam H.)
    2 friends with 4 homes (Barbara Talamini V.,Rhonda Prince K.)

    I see Namoh S. at level 19 (so his girlfriend's world)
    I see Derek G. at level 21 (also see his Game Center account at level 21)
    I see Tracy P. at level 13

    Since I've been inactive a few days, I'm just finishing boosting my animals with soup (84 soups to go to fully boost all current animals), currently recycling recipes worth less than 500 coins so soup production has slowed down and carrots are accumulating in floaters (over 30,000 and I'm keeping track only of 4 of the 7 floaters that are showing 99+).

    I still recycle recipes with bones and fish

    So now i'm wondering if I should spend 10.01% of my crystals on trapping another land whale so I can continue making soup.

    My current coins are over 1.9 million

    My application has been crashing in the last 2 days, when I return from visiting a friend, about once every 35-40 visits, anybody else experienced this?
  • Wow!
    More then 2000 crystals!
    Respect.
    Just 1 more LandWhale to go or more?
  • @Namoh, I currently have only 1 land whale and 1 bear owl

    I started construction of 2 land whale homes (those could fit easily on my map).

    Not sure I'll have the patience of rearranging to fit all allowed homes.

    Actually I'm at 1998 crystals

    ** Edit: Now 2013 crystals :-)
  • I stopped playing this a while ago and am surprised this thread is still being commented on. Why are you all still playing without any new content? What is there to do besides collect?
  • @lostgreybird, indeed collect and finish boosting animals and maybe get a few more land whales to have something to boost.

    Not playing as much, sharing my gaming time with other games.
  • @lostgreybird, I placed all allowed homes, incl 15% boost.
    Got all 5 BearOwls and 4 LandWhales (needed to get enough crystals to catch them).
    Boosted them to the max.
    This was finally done last week.
    Currently I've got nothing to play for.
    Visiting this thread more then playing the actual game. :)
    I hope Rovio comes with an update very very quickly!
  • @InHisName, so when you get the remaining BearOwls and LandWhales you'll still have more then 900 crystals. Nice, you're ready for the update!
  • I've just officially joined the list (been lurking for a bit) and I've sent FB friend requests to various ones of you, but if there's anybody else willing to be FB friends/Croods Neighbors please let me know.
  • @jmo, add me on fb Namoh Snamoh
  • Re-arranged my setup again.
    Thanks and credits go to my friend A.C.

    Any news, rumors..??


    @mihaitza, do you have any new information?
    You had correct info about the Ramu update!
  • @jmo Feel free to add me - James Croods on FB.
  • I just went on to feed my animals and all of my freinds are gone except for the croods freind
  • Since I never made a pile of feathers nor eggs and I'm recycling recipes that are worth below 500 coins or that contain bones or fish has slowed down drastically the evolve of my land whale... at this pace no need for another land whale for a few days.

    On the up side, coins at 2.1 million
  • @MisterGiF, I see your world at level 21, but only with 1 BearOwl home, and no LandWhale homes? Strange! Rovio, fix this bug.
  • @Namoh, that is my first game, that i could not connect for weeks after i got to level 21, so i started a new one, that got further with better crystal management and that is also around the time i found this website.
  • @MisterGiF, do you have a GC account?
    Is your old world linked to the same facebook account as the new one?
  • @Namoh, i actually have 2 Rovio accounts
    The one you see is the old one that i could not connect to for a few weeks, so i started a new game and connected it to a second Rovio account (the one i'm currently playing)

    Besides that i also have 2 guest games (iPad and iPhone) that i let my nephews play on, 2 weeks ago i also connected my old Rovio account game for them.

    I have only 1 FB account, so unless i logoff it before logging off my main Rovio account, strange things happen...

    You got me wondering,did you always see this level 21 game with i bear owl, or did you at i point see one of ,my guest games?

    BTW, i just trapped my second land whale.
  • @MisterGiF, I've got no clue if I saw your guest accounts in the past. I just checked and noticed no LandWhale homes!
    So both Rovio accounts linked to the same FB account.

    Does your new/current game use GameCenter?
    If so, what's your name, I'll send a friend request.
  • @Namoh, all are also linked to my GC account, you can try MisterGiF on GC
  • @Namoh, accepted.
    GC: I see your guest game at level 4.
    FB: I see your girlfriend game at level 19.

    Good luck for getting my 'good' game.
  • @MisterGiF, LOL!! On my Iphone I don't see you yet, I'll check when I'm home (now at work :) ). Will let you know.

    Can you check if you can get goodies from both my accounts? It shouldn't be possible, but maybe in this case because you see the world of my GF and the world of my guest account.
  • @Namoh, I could get gifts from both world, no crystals :-(

    I'm guessing tomorrow they will both synchronize to the same account... and I'll be able to get gifts only from the first I visit.
  • @MisterGiF, your GC account doesn't show up? Strange, GC accounts always showed up directly?
  • @Namoh, weird, I still see both your accounts as different games, so I can get gifts from both.

    Did you do the logoff FB, logoff Rovio, restart application, logon Rovio, Connect to FB?
  • 1st I just turned my device off and on. No luck.
    2nd I logged off from FB within The Croods.
    Then I logged of from the Rovio account.
    Turned off and on the device.
    Started The Croods with Rovio account.
    Logged on to FB.
    No luck. :(
  • @Namoh, I recall @InHisName saying that he could not see all his GC friends. Personally I see the 19 GC friends that are playing the game.

  • @MisterGiF, I see some of my GC friends but not all of them...?
    Hopefully Rovio fixes this with the (upcoming, whenever!??) update!

  • @Namoh, have you tried seeing my GC account from your 'guest' game?
  • @MisterGiF, yep tried that, no luck.
  • Hi folks
    To be honest, I really don't feel like reading all 1099 posts here... so here's my issue:
    Playing The Croods waiting for an update I'm connected to 1 friend via GameCenter so I can go visit her world. I've been trying to connect to another friend on FB and have no idea how to get that friend on the visit-friends-world list... Kinda frustrated... What the heck do my friend and I have to do to connect??? Any help welcome!
  • @laquibie
    1. connect your croods game with facebook by pressing sign in to facebook.
    2. your friend needs to play the croods

    if this does not help you should wait for next update. Because there is a bug now where you can´t see all your friends and Rovio has promised to fix it in the next update.
