A while back, and then even further back, different types of foods were introduced, and now there are many many many
Someone did the calculations and posted them, best value for money in some type of order, factoring in cost, amount of food and time to produce... You see where I’m going with this, right?
As an ‘out’ non-numerate person, who is inordinately proud of being able to do a manual cashbook and BALANCE it, I am utterly overwhelmed at the thought of sitting down and doing these sums all over again...
I would love to link such an analysis to the ED for everyone’s future reference
Can anyone remember what thread, or work out how to search for that/those posts, or (deep breath) get joy from doing that recalculation again? So I can link it to ED Pretty please for some assistance 😌🌺🐲

Thanks CesspitX , that’s a great start! Does that factor in the amount of time to harvest as well? Because that makes a difference to the value/$/#food/time, yes? That’s the calculation I was wanting to post for folks Value (#food x dc cost x harvest time) by food type
It may not be possible to calculate all that...I wish my brain could work that out!

Meta-Carotene are 3 hour harvests, at the individual price per food and that low timer, I doubt there is anything that could beat them (unless you don't have a cool 360million cash for all 12).
Sound in parks; other than ensuring the sound is on on ones device, and the sound slider and button are on in ones control wheel, is there anything else to do to achieve sound?
I’ve done all those, and the magic ‘turn it off and on’ trick, but still no sound. I’ve had the sound off for possibly years, but thought I’d listen to the music other Valers have appreciated for this event... Any help appreciated

You don’t have to calculate all that, wiki has done it for you! Here is wiki’s page dedicated to Treat Farms and the production of each treat. It includes all food, the cost, amount, how long it takes, xp gained, amount of treats per hour, cost per treat, cost per hour, cost per xp, xp per hour, and requirements.
And here’s a similar but easier to read list of treats for the Towering Treat Gardens. It has the same info, but with less scrolling across the table. A pic of each treat from the game that includes the time, cost, and amount cleverly eliminates three of the columns from the table in the first link. And it also has the calculations for the maximum amount of each treat you can grow in 24 hours per garden and the cost.
Not to take away from CesspitX ’s chart, which is spot on and concise! Wiki may be too much info? (Can there be too much?) Regardless, the calculation are definitely there.

Brill! Thankyou both, I will hotlink to your posts for others searching for foody deals 😄
If you breed Chitin in the Vale or the Rift and sell it before hatching, you will receive 175,000 DC. However, if you hatch it first, then sell, you’ll earn 1,750,000 DC — the correct amount.
Unfortunately, it’s not a typo. I sold a Chitin before and after hatching and received 175,000 DC and 1,750,000 DC, respectively. Tested this in the Rift and Vale, both have the glitch. For newer players this is a significant amount of DC to lose. I’ve notified Backflip.

I just got a 96 hour breeding time in the runic breeding cave? I have absolutely no idea what this is. Appreciated if someone knows what Dragon it is.
do you really have 96 hours or did you multiply the hours with 4 or 16 to get to the estimated normal breeding time maybe it's a typo in the code and the timer is not divided by 4 instead of it is multiplied. There are several 24 hour dragons

together with the Paper dragon the first anniversary statue returned. It's in the decoration section of the market
Thank you for the anniversary statue update! I never would’ve noticed it in the Market.
It appears there will be one anniversary dragon and their statue released every day for the next six days. If we’re staying on track, we should see the plush Cotton dragon today. Then on September 14th, DV’s 8th anniversary, the 8th anniversary dragon will be unveiled... be still your beating hearts.

I updated my doc with all the new dragons - also the enhanced ones (night and day). I'll be on holiday for the next 14 days, so there will be no updates. I'll add new dragons when I'm back.

My Ts’aishen guy has reset to level 1! Ugh! I have tried closing game completely and restarting it but nothing changes 😡😡😡😡. Help!
jenny, Haven’t heard of that ever happening! It is best to contact BFS: Open your game, open the ‘Options’ menu, and click on ‘Email support.’ They should be able to bring him back to his former glory.
My game crashes constantly, with fireflies or without fireflies. i have to restart the game at least 5 times just to collect dragon coins/etherium, and set up dragon breeding.
This is my third day with constant crashes. Anybody else?
Everything that can be turned off is off - fireflies, music, currency effects, etc. - and nothing else is running in the background. But if it takes me more than 2 seconds to select two dragons for breeding it crashes. The game is practically unplayable.
If you’re having issues with frequent crashes, the only 'solution' (it’s more of a temporary bandaid than a solution) is to go to Options and turn on Low Resolution Mode. This will slightly degrade the visual beauty of the game, but it should relieve you of relentless crashes.
The March iOS update for DV caused the crashes for games with large parks on iOS devices that have 2GB RAM or less. BFS responded to the crashes a month later with Low Resolution Mode. The March Android DV update did not cause crashes, but Low Resolution Mode was still added to Android games, so this may become a problem later.
If you don’t have Low Resolution Mode in the Options menu, your device is probably older, so you’re already playing in low resolution. DV’s April iOS update forced devices with less than 2GB RAM into low res permanently. If you’re still experiencing crashes while in permanent low res, here’s the links from the ED outlining the RAM draining decorations from Cyn and tips/advice from BFS per Kiwichris . And of course turn off weather features, orbs, etc. Some players also remove the themes from their islands. If none of that helps, then unfortunately, nothing will free you from crashville except upgrading your device.
For those who have Low Resolution Mode as an option, be aware your game will eventually outgrow low res as your park becomes larger and more dragons and animation are introduced. When this occurs the crashes will return. If the advice from the above links don’t prevent crashing, then sadly, upgrading to a device with at least 3GB RAM (iPhone X or newer or iPad Pro) is the only solution. This is hardly an ideal solution, because it relies on the player’s ability to afford expensive devices or switch to Android and hope crashes don’t become an Android problem in the future. Hopefully, before the crashes are unbearably unplayable, you’ll need to upgrade your iPhone or iPad anyway and the cost isn’t a problem. Sending lots of koalas to iOS players not just for breeding dragons but for their devices and their wallets. 🐨❤️🐨

Leave it to me to have something weird happen. I just emailed them but the few times in the past that i have contacted them i have never received a response. So I’m hoping this time will be different. Thanks
