Yes that’s very good advice by ducktown.
Before and during a mystery derby there’s a lot you can do to make your play easier but it requires some planning.
Generally during mystery derbies I idle most of my farm. I keep fishing spots open, don’t produce much and don’t harvest anything from animals. Keep a town full of served townies and a truck board ready with easy orders I’m willing to send on that truck. Make sure you have plenty of lures to fish just in case. Leave the fields empty and so on.
During the derby when I take a task that isn’t a very fast task I figure out how long that task will roughly take. Then I can start producing some things I really need to make or harvest the animals which I know will be ready before the task is done. Just make sure everything is finished and idle again before you finish the task and take the next one. You can do the same thing overnight when you’re sleeping anyway.

katAgreed. Happened to me yet. I have to plant and harvest 330 indigo. 6 hours. So I'm able to produce things within this time. Actually I didn't wanted to take ?-tasks, but there a only very few with 320, and the most are < 320. So there is not much choice.

The first one already finished the derby with 4000 points, lvl 250+ farm. Either very well prepared or using a lot of diamonds.

Actually I didn't wanted to take ?-tasks, but there a only very few with 320, and the most are < 320. So there is not much choice. Yup exactly so in case of a 6 hour task you could harvest all animals except goats and make sure to replace the feed and load 6 hours worth of production into your machines etc. If you have a boat at the dock which will leave in under 6 hours then try and send it away when you harvest the first indigo round. If you have a nasty boat you’re not willing to fill then also send it away etc. Mystery derby by itself isn’t that bad it’s when it s combined with bunnies that they become very tricky. I once had a mystery derby though that gave me 5 fishing tasks and ran out of lures. That wasn’t very fun and it was before we could donate lures. One last thing about mystery derbies, be careful taking tasks right before you plan to sleep. It can be a bit risky. If you get a longer task it doesn’t matter much but some tasks require baby sitting and usually don’t have a long time before they have to be finished. Like an egg or milk or quicker crops growing task.

the last thing you described happened to me previous. But it's now some time ago. I forgot the time, went to sleep an when I awakened next morning I was astonished the task was crashed.
And another time I wasn't aware that I had to consider the time by dealing with an egg task. So I had to stay a bit longer in the night. This was ok for me, but if I had to work for a living this had become a short night.
It's really a risk to take a mystery task in the late evening.

Hi! I also learned that lesson the tough way and it cut into my sleep time. Milk task usually has around 11-12 ish hours which is tight if you plan a normal night sleep and the amount of milk you need. Egg task is usually shorter around 8ish or so. And all the faster growing crop tasks like wheat, corn, carrot, soy and sugar cane etc are pretty short on time as well. those are all tasks you certainly don’t want to get right before sleep time. Production tasks are good to get at that hour but unfortunately that’s the luck of the draw.

(RS 15)🪓 has an explanation for this matter.

I hoped for a mine task, but sadly I got again a boat task. Ok, the first is done, second at 11pm, and the last tomorrow in the morning. I'm using a booster to fill 3 crates.

The only thing much worse is goat milk.

First time I've done a mystery derby. Hood chat on Monday some were mentioning that it is not that of a popular format. Personally so far I have enjoyed it, since I'm not too keen on stacking my machines and town. Hood I am in currently is not that hardcore, more if a casual approach to the game. So far 1: serve 15 in the spa 2: feed 189 3: fully serve 7 strongman 4: feed 182 animals. 5: pets task. Collect 50 milk, 41 bacon and harvest 218 carrots (my current task)
Tasks are challenging but not that unattainable.

The last one is harvest 255 pumpkins. Yep a doable Halloween task. Top3 is already finished with max points. Top12 will be doable also. And got some deco (old ones) in horseshoe rewards.

My rewards, it's ok I think. <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> yes, nicely done. I think by reshuffling you might get two additional permits and a puzzle piece, and maybe some deco if you are willing to spend diamonds on reshuffling. I’ll post my rewards later, just finished derby with one bunny and placed 6th. You can see in which columns what drops.

Second part. you can see in which columns the permits, puzzle pieces and blueprints are. They are always in the same columns. You might have to reshuffle sometimes more than once. 5 diamonds each. The bunny’s caught will also give permits when reshuffling. some horseshoe rewards are permit, or deco like you can see in my rewards. 1st and 2nd column often give a deco (I don’t count the bunny as a column).

3rd tab on your derby board. Thanks. I meant where do you find out what the next derby will be? Once the derby is over on Monday, wait until you got your rewards. Go to the exclamation (?) mark, page 7 and there is the info you need. you can also check the current one now. It will show you the type of derby and the special rules that apply.

And guess what? I got an additional permit. I was very pleased about that.
