No, I didn't get the 3rd star... and I would be very impressed by anyone who managed to get there  .
Rather, I got my 2nd start and now I can see with my own eyes that the 3rd star requires 1020 production hours. I tend to accumulate production hours with chocolate fondue because I can use Tom to get chocolate and I buy strawberries from the dd. Let's do some math... 1020 hours = 2448 chocolate fondues. That's 2448/9 = 272 Tom's trips  . I can do about 8 Tom's trips per day (I don't wake up at night to play Hay Day ), so that's 272/8 = 34 days of using Tom continuously only to fetch chocolate !! I will not have enough patience...
How far along are you with the Fondue Pot mastery?

Just shy of 100 hours towards the last star myself.
Not really pushing to get it though, items are right around the 30 min mark to produce, saving 4-1/2 min per item works out to 40 min saved if you load it up with all 9 slots. Not a great savings of time for me to push for the last star.

I still have about 800 hrs left before 3 star mastery on the Fondue pot.
I don’t really approach any machine with the urge to push for the mastery. If the products are not being requested, and the resources are, IMO, better utilized to make more popular products, that’s how I use them. When I am about 200 hours from full mastery, I might put the machine in full production mode. I choose the product that uses the resources that least impact my normal play, and just keep them queued up, and selling what I don’t need.

This machine is one of those which is a pain in the a** for mastery due to short production times. I handle it like Mom’sCar already stated, I do what's necessary but I'm not pushing it. It's not that important to me. |

I'd not paid any attention to how far along I was...
Just checked....haven't even made the 2nd star yet 😆
Will that now make me ramp up production to get it done?
...Nope 😂

I'm still 464 hrs away from the 3rd star, and it drives me 'slightly' crazy. but then, I suspect I have a 'slight' case of OCD  |

Haha I still don’t even have my 1st star on the fondue pot even though the machine has been in the game a while already.
There are a few machines I certainly don’t expect to finish the mastery any time soon. The donut maker and the fudge shop are two of those examples.
I haven’t really worked on masteries although some later machines have been easy to master like the preserves machine and pottery oven. On the other hand I still don’t have the wok or Mexican kitchen mastered.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I'm in the "machine mastery mood" these days but it might only last a few days.
Congrats to Warios for getting there "soon"!

I am about the same. 800 odd hours to go but I also don’t necessarily aim for the mastery. |

I don’t even think about it usually, but I had to laugh—after glancing at this thread earlier, I went back into the game and got a first star on this very machine, hahaha. 😄

Slow and steady for me. Okay mostly just slow. One star and 117 hours. 👍😂

I have never worried about mastery myself, it just happens when it happens 🤷♀️

I have never worried about mastery myself, it just happens when it happens 🤷♀️ Same here, anniebel. I just make stuff as the need arises. My fondue pot has 139 hours toward the 250 hours required for 2nd star. I try to keep 10 of each item in my barn, so the pot often is not producing. |

I normally do master my new machines. But the fondue pot is just too slow. I ignore it most of the time.
Still about 700 hours to go.

Well, since I posted this message I stayed on course and have been working on putting 24 hours of production per day for these machines: - preserve
- pottery
- fryer
- wok
- bath
- fudge
- yogurt
- stew
- cupcake
It does hamper my farm's ability to do derby tasks, farm pass goals, valley points tasks... but I guess that's my game style/game plan for the beginning of 2023  . It's actually mostly ok except the wok that eats a lot of crops (onions have never been as valuable to me as now!) and the fudge machine which eats butter like there's no tomorrow. Over the past 6 weeks this led me to the 3rd star for preserve & pottery, and fryer & wok should be mine in less than a week.
I'm also working on the fondue & donut machines but these ones are slower. I manage to get an average of 18 hours of production per day for the donut machine, and only 14.9 hours of production per day for the fondue. I could be more efficient for the fondue by having Tom constantly working for me to fetch chocolate but I haven't done it. |

UncleDomi Kudos to your strength of purpose and your stamina.  I couldn't do that, too stressful. I manage my farm like other members already wrote, once the need arises. Not more, not less. It's in the moment sufficient for me. There was a time when I was more dedicated but that's currently not the case. I prepare my machines, feed the animals, that's it. Even my town is a little bit neglected. Earlier I looked spaced and served my townies. Now I tend to look max 2 times a day. I know that this behaviour will slow down my progress but I don't care. I'm in a level and I have enough coins to take it easy.

I know this wasn’t the question, but the fondue pot is one of my least favourite machines in the game, not only because of the short production times (I’m 252/1020 towards the 3rd star) which makes it hard to master, but I also don’t find I have a lot of demand for the products so even less incentive to use it, plus I think it is hideous to look at. It seems enormous as well as being ugly so I’ve just hidden it 😂

I made a lot of stew and got the mastery star, finally.

I made it! 3-star fondue pot is mine Since my last message I mastered the deep fryer, wok kitchen, and bath kiosk. Fudge shop should be done by Monday. Still more work for the 4 last, especially the donut maker. Congrats Hummel for mastering the stew pot. I'm getting there too, 2 more weeks! |

Mission accomplished, I mastered all machines! That is, with the exception of the brand new Waffle Maker... Anyway, that was one mindless goal to accomplish  |
