During the derby, I never take feed tasks as I have Rose and Ernest constantly hired and it gets too complicated.
I had almost forgotten about the Mystery derby and was quite excited seeing it reappear - until I chose my first Mystery task and then remembered why I hate Mystery derby. Yep, got feed task!
How do I do this with Rose hired without want to throw my ipad at the wall? I've chosen the last option which is the only one where she doesn't feed the animals, but the she stops making food! So if you want her to make food, she feeds. Really silly! Or am i missing something, making me the silly one?
Hayday obviously want to encourage people to hire Rose, but feed tasks really mess everything up. Please Hayday, can Rose have a 'Derby Feed Task' option, where she completely stops feeding the animals, but carries on making the food as usual?
I'm dreading the rest of the Mystery now in case I get more feed tasks.

Chicken feed only in one mill (keep it going)
Cow feed in the other
Each hour you can feed 54 chickens and 15 cows for a total of 69 feeds
So thats 2-3 hours depending on if you can harvest other animals initially aswell and if you can get the the chickens every 20 mins
(I've just had exactly the same mystery task this morning 😆)

I'm dreading the rest of the Mystery now in case I get more feed tasks. I usually change Rose to "make feed, but don't feed" but as you've observed that doesn't work properly. I therefore also change her requirements to no eggs, no milk, etc, as well. That seems to do the trick for me. |

Thanks very much for the tips Cowslips.
Yes, I did concede and change my Rose quota to zero on all animal products, but what a faff!! You'd think Hayday would want to make it a bit easier for those of us who regularly PAY to hire R&E.
I think in future I will just opt out of mystery derby if they don't make it easier - or maybe I'll just stop buying diamonds.....

Instead of opting out.... you could play as a regular derby with 320 tasks. You won't be top 3, but will probably not be bottom 3 either. Keep the 4 mystery boxes on the board and just trash the remaining boxes. Keep in mind that sometimes the "randomizer" doesn't randomize very well and it takes a bit to get the 320s. 😀 |

The 320’s are painstakingly slow there, too. Does it work similarly? |

It seems to me that if its not a regular derby the 320s are harder to come by. Our hood is just us three and between time zones, work schedules husbands and grand kids... our goal is to just get derby done! Lol I think the only reason we even try for top 3 anymore is the hope for the newest deco. |

When I feed the gorillas I always asked myself why am I giving them straw when we have bananas, peanuts and many other fruits they are fond of. I have asked something like this just at the moment they appeared at the game, but I had no answer. The gorilla's may also eat some leaves but straw? I would appreciate your comments

I would appreciate your comments This is probably worth asking in its own thread to be honest, might get lost here! Cheetahs and meerkats eating fish is something I doubt often happens in the wild too 😆 |

Probably just something to do with the mathematical mechanics of the game and the time it takes to produce the food. ?
