Pet Society – Tips

Earn Corn

1. This is just for sharing.  As we know that when we visit to our neighbor's house to tell a joke or dance, or hug and etc, we will able to earn 20 coins per day.  You also could get the coin when playing Skipping rope, Frisbee or Ball.  But do you know that when you walk to tree, you will get 1 coin as well from some of the tree?  Just click on the tree and your pet will walk to the tree and you will get 1 coin.  So when I lack of coin and lazy to play the ball, frisbee or skipping rope, I will let my pet walk to the tree to get the coin.  Even that is less, but better than none :)

Let’s try you luck now. :)

image

2. Another way is left your pet in a shop for sometime, then just exit that shop.  You will see it will less energy, less happiness and less hygiene.  When you give food to your pet, it will increate 17 experience.  Also, when you help your pet bath, you will get some coin as well.  So you could try and see.

Everyday by looking at the news, I will feel sad.  The is few cases for new born baby who has only reach this world few months only and cause of H1N1 and death.  The virus is spread fast, so we need to be more care on taking care our family members.  If any of them have below symptoms, please wear the masks and consult your doctor to seek for immediate medical  care.  Protect yourself and protect your family. 

Symptoms:

  • High fever
  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Body aches
  • Congestion
  • Occasionally vomiting and diarrhea

For the baby or children, they are not able to explain how they are feeling it, so the important thing is keep an eye out for children who are having difficulty breathing.   If any small children or other in high risk groups, any of following serious warning signs, need to seek for immediate emergency medical care

  • Fast breathing or trouble breathing, Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen

So to protect your family, you need to know how to prevent it.

Farm Frenzy Game

I like those time management game which we could build a city, farm, hospital and etc. Farm Frenzy is a fun game which you could try it out. It is a good time management game to exercise your brain how to make more money, how to earn more star in order to upgrade the building or those assets you have (eg: warehouse, car). It requires strategy and makes you think how to manage your time to ensure your animal do not get attack by those fierce animals.

It has a map in the main page. It has different tasks at each level which you need to achieve. Such as feeding chicken to produce a certain number of eggs or feed certain number of chicken. Always, the new level is more challenging than the last. so you must increase the capacity of your warehouse and improve the performance of your production facilities and transportation.

Farm Frenzy is as stimulating as the real thing, only you won't have to experience the nasty smells! You will be required to invest the money you earn in new equipment. For example, building a cheese dairy which will allows you to process your milk on the spot and make even more cash!

On the Farm Frenzy farm, you have more than 10 animal you could buy to help you achieve in the level. You need to feed chickens, sheep, cows and use the eggs, wool and milk to sell at the market. Each product has different price, like eggs only cost 10 coin. You could buy/upgrade your building to let it work faster and

How to play

It just need think and click. Easy to play. For example: Buy a chicken, grow the grass, collect the eggs, stocking up in warehouse and shipping goods off to market. See the right bottom box, it is the goal you need to achieve every level.

Also, you could buy a cat help you to collect the product (eggs, milk, wool) and buy a dog help you to protect your animal or you could keep on click on the bear to build the cage it. Once it is in the cage, you are to get it into the warehouse and you could sellit in market which you could earn $.

Tips

  1. From my experience, always expand/upgrade the warehouse and building. It will help you to keep more items and the building will help you to product more product.
  2. Also truck also important on the speed of deliver the product to the market.
  3. Try to plant the grass as nearer to the bottom (somewhere near the warehouse) as possible in order to have more time for getting the bears into the cages.
  4. If you got enough $, must buy cat. It will helps you a lot. Cost $2500
  5. If you want to upgrade the building, just play the earlier levels over and over until you get enough starts to upgrade it.
  6. For the Farm Frenzy 3, you will have fitting room which you could take the bear to the fitting room and earn more $. 1 bear could sell $7,000 which you will have more $ to achieve your goal.
  7. You could heard the sound or see the shadow when the bear is coming. By the time, stand by to click it as soon as you can. Bear need more space to keep, so that is the reason why need to expand the warehouse. Once the warehouse is full, then the bear you catch will run away from the cage or the product will not able to keep in the warehouse. It will waits for several seconds if it doesn’t get in to the warehouse.

Are you thinking this game is a little bit childish? No, it will be fun for both kids and adults. The game is bright and challenging.

Build A Lot Game

This is another game I have played last year which I would like to share.  The goal for this game is like the name - “Build a lot”.  Buy the land and build the house as soon as you can.  This is another good time management or casual game. 

How to play

The interface turns almost every chore into a one-click action,  you will able to focus on managing money, materials, workers, repairs and blueprints without distraction. To build a house all you have to do is click on an empty lot and then select the construction of what kind of building you want to build.  You could see the level goal in the right top screen.  

Income is based on the value of each lot you own, so upgrading houses to a more lavish setting will increase the rent and raise your cash flow. 

You must looking at your material make sure you have enough material to continue build or upgrade your house.  Also, sometime you may need to hire 1 or more worker help you on the construction.  

Different level will have different special tasks to achieve.  Some level will request you to build a Workshop, Library, Post Office and etc, which will not have any monthly rental but the value will add after you have complete the game.  Before construct any type of house or building, you need to buy a blue print.

In the goals, sometime it same that need 4 house, but you only have 3 lands by default.  Then you need to buy a land or house when there has someone would like to sell it.  Your success as a real estate mogul depends on the choices you make, and Build-a-lot throws some tough ones at you each level. Empty lots and complete houses pop on the market at seemingly random times and must be purchased quickly before they fade. But what if you don't have the cash? Even if you did, should you expand or focus on improving your current properties? Micro decisions such as this spill into managing your workforce and materials and add up to a game with a surprising amount of strategy.

Below is the table for you to reference for the building/rental cost by each type of house.

Tips:

  1. Upgrade house to more starts are more profitable.  So always upgrade your house to be more star.  You will get more rental.
  2. Always upgrade your house before it get the rental.  Else you will miss it.
  3. If you have build a workshop, then you will get 50% discount on hiring a worker.
