January Valley

I don’t think I have seen it before.

My valley prizes are much the same 😢. I won’t be doing much either.

@all

I'll join you. As you know valley isn't my favorite, anyway. My "rewards" will be:

3 puzzle pieces
3 blue prints
1 permit (available at the end of valley)

So, it'll be an easy going for me as well. I don't collect puzzle pieces at all costs, I only need 1 blueprint to accomplish the required 15 for a custom deco (hopefully in February farmpass the stonemason deco) and of course one lonely permit, at the end of the valley.

That's a very relaxed habit. I envy you. Although I'll try to do the valley stress-free it's always kinda uncomfortable for me. I think it is because I don't like it. 

I am not fond of it either Donkeyfan.  I do it when I have time but it is not a priority.

I have caught three animals so far and everyone of them escaped. Cost me 5 fuels each to retrieve them. Grrrr.

I also have had animals escape and truck breakdowns every day since start of this valley. I don’t need a lot rewards this valley, just the permitS and 🧩. My trucks are parked strategically around one animal drop point, and the animals spawn at places where I expect them. Overall it shouldn’t be that hard for me to get the 3 rewards. And they are all in the first view spots of rewards.

The only reason for me to play strategically is to get it over with, complete derby within shortest time possible and minimum effort to get the rewards in the valley (and derby) that I want. The remainder of the week it’s stress free farming and helping other farmers. 😉

I don’t care anymore for the blueprints, need to much coins and vouchers to complete them. Just like you, I like the koi’s, all others I don’t care about.

This valley season is not a good one for me. my support farm has 3 prints and 3 puzzles but since this farm does not have diamonds I most likely won't reach the rewards. My main farm has 1 print and 2 puzzles. A little disappointing, but since it is not mandatory to play the valley, it is ok. The offered decoration does not speak to me. I would not know how this decoration fits on a farm, just like the Russian themed towers. I am waiting for some inspiration from all the great farm decorators here on the forum   

I keep both trucks from my farms together. When a truck breaks down, the other repairs it. I don't play daily, but... I do all my spins. It stops at 99 fuel. Right now I do easy buildings and any animals that are close so I can build up my fuel. Animals are a lot more populous towards the end. That's when I play it hard. Now chickens is another story. I don't play much as they are few and far between. But one good thing about our game is plenty on in games to keep us busy. We can choose to do any, none, or all. Our choice.

I had one breakdown and one escape. But I only play once or twice a day. So if it breaks down in the morning I come back in the afternoon or evening.

I’m getting some animals, but have to go out of my way to get two or three.

It’s hard to balance coins this time. For some reason I have twice as much of one colour as of the lowest one.

We’ll see how it goes.

I…haven’t looked at the deco yet, lol. I almost always go for diamonds, puzzles and scrolls.

I got the rewards I wanted. Done with the valley. I caught one elephant, it escaped 3 times. Never had it before that the same animal escaped that often. 😂

The animals keep escaping, I keep trucking after them just so they escape again and I am running out of gas. Is that a hint-hint to spend diamonds to spin for gas?
I gave up on that, now, when the animal escapes I leave the valley. If I think about it later in the day, I go back, or not. The rewards aren't worth it to me, especially the wall piece in this week's reward section
