How To Plant And Plow In Farmville Without A Headache
Posted by: Guest Author Post date: March 18th, 2011When people play Farmville, they want to be able to grow as many crops as possible on their land, so they might plow almost all of it. It\’s a strategy that seems to make a lot of sense, at least on the surface. Unfortunately, after they finish plowing all that land, Farmville players might discover something that makes them stop dead in their tracks.
They realize that, with the number of coins they have left, they can\’t afford to purchase seeds to plant in all the plots that they plowed! This is not a fun situation.
You don\’t have to be that person, though. If you want to ensure that you\’ll always have enough coins to purchase crops for ALL of your plots, you just have to do a bit of thinking ahead.
It\’s not hard, really. First, just count how many plowed plots you have or plan to have, and then multiply that number by the amount of coins it takes to plow a plot, which is 15. For example, if you have 96 plots, the math will look like this: 96 plots x 15 coins = 1,440 coins to plow all plots.
But wait! Don\’t start plowing yet! That\’s only the first part of the planning process!
If you were to start to plow now, you might not be able to afford to plant crops in all your plots. That would nullify the importance of the planning process!
The good news is that you\’re nearly done. The next step is to figure out what you want to plant.
Let\’s take strawberries, for example. Strawberries cost 10 coins, so if you have 96 plots, it will cost 960 coins to plant them in all of your plots.
The last part of the planning process is just to take your plowing cost and add it to your crop cost. The costs from our examples are 1,440 coins and 960 coins, respectively. If the number you get from adding those two costs together exceeds the number of coins that you have in the bank, then you know you can\’t afford to plant as many crops as you had hoped. Instead, you might want to only plow and plant half of your field.
All that explanation above basically boils down to this formula: (Plot Number x 15) + (Plot Number x Crop Cost) = Total Cost for Plowing and Planting.
Running out of coins before you have a chance to plant is a frustrating situation. But it\’s also an unnecessary situation. If you just take a few minutes to plan and go through the math before you plow and plant crops, you\’ll be able plow and plant smartly, which means saving coins. Give it a try!
