This is bad...~2 hours till my reset and I still have yet to collect my last 2 FFs from collecting DC. I've been at it all day and resorted to buying a couple of plant habitats to collect from quickly. I am going to be so bummed if I don't make it.

This happens to me every single day. I just don't worry about those last 2 until 2 hours left. Once it gets down to those last few hours whatever I'm missing usually comes pretty easy though. So I would say you don't need those plant habitats just be patient and wait those fireflies out

Gem friends are full. But I love seeing new parks!
Still need: cyclops, snowy silver, arbor, bouquet, dream, sprout

Nope, couldn't do it. Now stuck at 133 fireflies. Ugh, 133. What an ugly number. Not a multiple of 5. Mumble grumble...
Just to confirm. Dawn in my little park was the very first ff reward I went for after the reset. 40ff.

Does anyone have a running total of where you'd be if you maxed to 180 per day (no obstacles to clear)? Im trying to work out how far im behind due to some missed ffs and 26h sans iPad

Yep! It's the 8th cycle, which makes 1,690 total with the starting bonus.
The first 4 prizes cost 1,650 combined, so you would have 40 in the bank towards the Dusk Pedestal right now.
No, I must disagree. The only avatar worse than that is a pile of bones. Skitch, Since you are new, I want to warn you to keep your distance from GregDarcy. He is not only a dragon eater, but he has been known to eat people as well. He especially likes eating smart people. I think he hopes that he will gain some of their knowledge and wisdom... It hasn't worked.
Well, that's just a temporary avatar until I have time to create my own!
And I may be new but I've lurked enough to know better than to get involved in a GregDarcy/wapatango skirmish!

Hmm, if I continue in this sluggish pace I've been keeping, the tower might be out of reach for me. If it is $10 (or rather actually the equivalent in Swedish currency) or less, I'm pretty sure I'll pay for it. When it comes to paying for things like this it's often not the amounts that bother me. It's the question of whether or not to pay money at all. It's like some sort of barrier, I guess. If I overcome it and accept that I am willing to pay for this thing (in this case, an alternative set of colourful pixels to have as imaginary background for my beloved pixel park of animated two-dimentional imginary awesome lizards), I will probably pay for it even if the price is more than most would accept. I guess I'm pretty wierd.
Sorry for my little rant, I'm just wondering if there are any others here that think similarily to me about this.

I always spend a small amount at the very beginning just to get a jump on the contest, then I try (operative word is try) to be patient until we get close to the end, then give the developers a little more as a way to say thank you for continuing a game and community that I truly enjoy. Just my thoughts....
Looking around and enjoying life!

You're not that weird! My barrier is whether or not the item could be earned if I spent more time. That way, I feel like instead of buying the reward, I'm buying myself some time that I'd otherwise spend grinding. Plus I don't like the feeling of being tricked - if it's clear that a reward can be earned, I don't mind paying money. If the reward looks as if it could be earned, but really can't (e.g. the Lost Island), then I don't want to spend money on it.
I like supporting the developers and appreciate both the game and the community.

I am speechless. It really feels like you summed up my thoughts with that post. I guess I just couldn't express my thoughts clearly enough now that I see your reply. That reasoning was what in the end made me not buy the Lost Island.

A little phased, cause I know there are daily caps, but I've gone some days with NO firefly collection. I was stuck at 300 for about a day and a half. All I get them from is selling eggs, collecting, and farming. Nothing else is giving me it, and I'm bummed out

I'm sitting at 135 toward the dusk item. I might be without internet for e next 3 days ( praying I can still get on at a lake house ) but if ere are 6 double days (2 full weekends) then I should make it to the tower quite easily, if there's only 5 double days I guess I won't be getting the tower. Really I'm fine either way.

I haven't actually been maxing out my 180-firefly limit, since that requires spending at least 30 gems daily using Skitch's method. I've only spent the gems on speeding up breeds, which gives me about a daily total of around 155 fireflies. I'm hoping a double-firefly weekend will start in the next 24-hour window; I'll probably try and max out the fireflies received from spending gems during these double-firefly periods!
If I'm not wrong, double-magic weekends typically last three days, so assuming that we get double-firefly weekends starting this weekend, that should give us nine double-firefly days! Fingers crossed.

No apologies necessary. I feel like an absolute chump shelling out for an exclusive prize last minute, an amount I would readily pay amortized as a daily fee for the enjoyment I get from this game. It feels manipulative on the one hand, but on the other, I really want to be able to dusk my park.

Hello OnyxRaptor, welcome to the forum.
If you can itemise where you think ffs are missing, such as from party hats collecting, you may want to ping off a report to BFS support on their website. They should be able to look into the problem and restore the ffs you missed.
