Both Ginny and I are pretty addicted to Farmville on facebook. Even mr.bear is playing (and kicking our butts, but he cheats big time). So we have been neglecting the blag a little.
If you play you should be our neighbor, the three of us could use more neighbors, me especially. I would like people to send me trees, as they payout the best (over time). I wrote the following comment to a blog (never posted) to show that:
Peas produce 7.652/h and Limes produce .625/h (75/5=15,15/24). Now yes plant per plant peas are the better choice… in a unbounded space. In farmville however (and this is counter inutive) I can plant 16 trees for every one crop so that .625/h turns into 10/h per crop hex and the rate gets better with gifted trees.
The same could be said for animals. Sheep for example give 6.22/h per crop hex, almost as good as trees.
Granted there are some limitations: High inital start-up cost and leveling stops.
The trees would pay for themselves in
10/h – 7.662/h = 2.38/h
7600 (lemon tree cost) / 2.38=
3193.28 hours * 23 = 139 daysTrees would be ideal for lvl 37+ players that have little else to do but accumulate wealth and want to have to be constantly watching crops and obviously being gifted trees is best.
