Farm Pass Beta - January 2024 - User feedback

1. If I don't use diamonds to unlock the extra seasonal goals, will they eventually unlock--or will they disappear? 

2. if I don't buy the extra seasonal goals, will I be able to reach the final goal with just the regular tasks?

It's really annoying not to have basic information about how this Beta pass works.

I like the possibility of the farmpass tasks going on for more of the month. I usually finish within the first 15 days, so I like the longer "to do" aspect of the Beta version.

I just play the free road, so the other perks aren't relevant to me.

I started out thinking I'd bother to do all little tasks on both baby farms

Lasted 2 days and lost the will 😆

It's not even like they're difficult tasks to do but normally I'd go a few days here and there forgetting to even check on a baby farm and I'm fine with that 😅

Thank you, donkeyfan! I'm not in a hurry and would rather wait than spend diamonds.

Actually, now that you mention it, it does kind of feel like renting space. Hmm.

I’m trying to figure out whether it’s different from the extra slots on certain machines for the month in the regular farm pass, or the same sort of thing. *Scratches head.*

The diamonds for slots on event machines that don’t stay the next year still have me slightly miffed. Lol, what’s next, renting a square of land to decorate for a season and reverting to it being locked at the end of the month?

I wonder what happens to products that exceeds the original space once the farm pass is over? Does one lose access to them or what? 

My silo and barn are always maxed out. 

I have a question. If I leave a season goal unfinished, will it be replaced when new ones arrive in 6 days, or will it stay and only give me 2 new season goals?

Since the beginning of farm pass, season goal has never been replaced. Only 3 new ones added on 1st, 8th, 15th and 29th of the month.

Will h beta farm pass, I expect at the same time, 3 new locked season goals, in addition to 3 regular season goals, are added on these days.

I'll rephrase it.
You were asking whether having uncompleted season goal would affect number of new season goals, similar to daily goals that are replaced every 24h, regardless whether it is completed or not.
The answer is no. A season goal stay available till the end of season, you have up to 1 month long to finish.

On my mini, I waited till 28th to finish them to minimize the effort, the points are 85. Still get the whole set of 12 season goals per month.

Ok thanks for the rephrase! 

I'm part-way down the 2nd road - I've been doing all free goals, but not paid to open any others.

My disappointment is that I can see 3 puzzle pieces waiting for me. I completed my final penguin chick early yesterday (so yesterday's event was a bit of a waste for me, but that's another story).

I'll avoid collecting the puzzle pieces on the farm pass road, in the hope that some new sanctuary animals are made available before the pass ends (optimistic, I know!)

I'm intrigued by the super boosters, as I haven't had any of those before. However, one is for the dairy. I employ Ernest on a permanent basis, so I'm not sure how useful that booster will be for me.

I'm not sure if I'll be tempted with the more expensive farm pass in the future, but I'm not ruling it out yet...


EDIT: just to clarify, I did buy the extended farm pass this month, but have not used diamonds for additional goals.

I'm really unclear about this farm pass beta thing, specifically; is it possible to complete all three roads without using diamonds to unlock the extra tasks?

I've been doing all tasks and am at 500. I haven't done any of the three latest season goals (75 each) as I'm waiting for the next double farm pass points event (which I've read somewhere should be in the next day or two). It's been a pain though as to avoid completing the "collect 30 fruit from trees" goal I'm using the RSS and Tom boosters to get tree fruits. The second goal is feed 45 sheep (can use RSS/Tom to get wool) and the third is feed five sanctuary animals (that one is easy to avoid).

It's like this farm pass beta has added stress to the game which will lead me to either quit or not buy anything again. Of course, it could just be I'm missing something.

I'm thinking of starting a baby farm that focuses on growing trees to avoid finishing future tree fruit collection tasks early. Sell the fruit to my main farm for maximum coin (coins aren't an issue for my main), then those coins the baby uses to buy trees, and I sell saws for one coin each to the baby farm to clear trees when done with (my main also gets to water the trees). Not sure how this would work (won't be of use at low levels... apples are usually common in the RSS), but it might be worth a try if I can get a tree-focussed farm up to a decent level.
Alternatively, a baby farm specifically developed to help avoid multiple season goals until double point events may be the way to go (it'd be to supply my main farm with tree/bush fruits, animal products... I think they're the main goals).

Of course, having event tasks such as this Winter event don't help (I'd have to trash/delay a feed sheep task). It seems weird that some activity in the game has to be avoided (which is why I'm wondering if it's that I am missing something).

SC, you owe me a hat! I already had the party hat. And I am not pleased.

About the pass road points, many people, including content creators, thought, it is nearly impossible to complete the 3 passes without buying extra task. Now it seems just easy. Funnily, it was my newest farm which crossed the line to party pass first.
