I agree the bar for friends is great! I just wish they would do something about the community tab. What purpose does it serve? You can't invite them to be friends.

Ive been asking about that for months...cannot understand the point of it!

On another topic, the food plant is great! Wish I built it sooner. $7k for juice that takes 15min is awesome.

If you purchase the double decker bus (the one that you can only buy with dollars) you'll pretty much get an avocado each trip. I've launched it three times and have received 2 avocados and a pump. Good buy...well maybe, it was $30.

This doesn't work for me. I have 2 double dockers and only get 1 avocado every 4 or 5 days. You might just have been lucky.

Guys, there was a question about Milk Shop vs Sweet Waffle Cafe. I own both plus Sombrero Restaurant, and I am going to post some calculations, here, so you can decide for yourself what is more suitable for you.

First, the cost of the ingredients.

Grain 60
Milk 260
Sugar cane 60
Polyethylene 210
Eggs 280

Dough160
Sugar 120

The actual cost of production

Dough = 160 + 2 grain (120) + milk (260) = 540
Sugar = 120 + sugar cane (60) + 2 poly (420) = 600

Tortilla 1200
Waffle 1300
Ice cream 1500

The actual cost of production

Tortilla = 1200 + 2 dough (1080) + 2 eggs (560) = 2840 (15 min)
Waffle = 1300 + 2 dough (1080) + 2 sugar (1200) = 3580 (20 min)
Ice cream = 1500 + 3 eggs (840) + 2 milk ( 520) = 2860 (15 min)

PROFIT

Tortilla 9920 - 2840 = 7080
Waffle 9100 - 3580 = 5620
Ice cream 6200 - 2860 = 3340

I use 2 confectionary plants and 2 ranches to produce tortillas every 30 min. My third ranch pumps milk. When my plants are busy with something else (muffins, fruit cakes, special orders etc), I use my milk shop.

I make waffles only when I have extra sugar, that means rarely. There are extra steps in producing sugar and, most importantly, tortillas are more profitable.

I hope it helps.

Nice bit of work. Going to have to invest in Tortilla.

Downloaded this app today after reading this thread..

That's more hours out of my day as I'm totally addicted lol

(This message was brought to you from my lovely new ipad)

Welcome aboard. We are all addicted here. Maybe we should change the forum name to BB Anonymous.

You get 2 units of cottage cheese each time you produce at a dairy factory?!? Can't believe I never noticed that before! Someone please tell me this isn't a glitch. Any other products where you get 2 each time???

It's nice to find this site and know I am not the only one that sets the alarm at night to complete tasks. New to the site but not to the game. Played on and off for 8 months, the more changes they bring the better and more addictive the game gets. Until this week I was proud to say that I had never spent any real money on this game so it is possible to complete challenges and not cost you (as long as you are willing to loose a bit of sleep on the way!!!

You get 2 units of sour cream each time you produce at a dairy factory?!? Can't believe I never noticed that before! Someone please tell me this isn't a glitch. Any other products where you get 2 each time???

It's a glitch. I just made sour cream the other day and only one came. Out. Pretty funny glitch!

No just Marines. Probably closest Navel is Charleston, SC. Closest Navel Air base probably Jacksonville, FL. I am just about to finish the book and energy Eiffel Tower upgrade. I hope I'm getting close to the end!

Navel base near Jacksonville, there are two. One in kings bay GA for submarines. I moved from submarines to surface ships. South of there is may port, FL where I visited a couple of years ago to fix a cruiser this time.

I get 2 for cottage cheese and have for quite awhile. It's a major money maker. I keep 10 dairies running to make my cash flow better. It's agree worth getting the food plant as well. The upgrades cost a lot though.

Sorry, I meant cottage cheese, not sour cream LOL!

Same. I made CC and CC w/ fruit and only one pops out. I'd test it right now but I'm upgrading the factory at the moment.

I rarely have people walking around my town. Used to ave lots. Been like this for a month....anyone else experiencing this?

I have had one of those for a week or two and only received 2 and that was in the last day. So I think it's hit or miss.

Anyone know how many times you have to go through all friends before you get your first gold beam?

Hi Lynn
It varies this was my sequence of days doing the max visits. 1, 2, 3, 1, 4 and today 1.

Be careful on this one. The challenge here is your ware house. They need twice the room.

Very true! Before upgrading I had to harvest, sell and harvest again.
