ugh I hate it when you miss the harvest bonus because

[justjayde]

Nothing annoys me more than mid harvesting, a nice yellow glow bonus is going, and the character gets in your way and you engage them in chat, or they level up.

I would love to see an update that changes the behavior so while that yellow glow is happening nothing will interrupt it! Either the glow pauses OR the conversation or action doesn't interrupt the harvest when its glowing for that 10 seconds.

I hope it is not just me feeling this frustration, and that maybe they might consider making a change for this action.

I do what I can to try and avoid it, I never harvest with someone that is not already level 10, but still accidentally trigger chats with my harvest bonus buddy. sigh.

Yup, one work-around is by using the fence trick and trapping them in while harvesting (the level up thing will still come up tho, so I would avoid doing it with those who haven't reached level 10 yet). By doing this, you also get to pick up all the bonus harvests at once since the companion will release it all after being released from the fence. Depending on how big your harvest farm is, I would recommend releasing the companion in intervals (if you have a big farm and you wait until the end, you might end up having to pick up the bonus ones individually if the blue light goes off them) or if your farm is small enough, then you can wait until the end to delete the fence and let the companion release the harvests.

Remy is a good crop buddy because his hit box is so small. The toys would also work.
Sucks when you get a critical harvest and suddenly everyone is falling out of your pockets, companion and pet have to come over and get in the way. That's if you are lucky enough to walk back and be able to target the spot, and not just try and plant another plot.

You might experiment with different crop buddies. Some seem to immediately close ranks when you hit a yellow bonus like they are suddenly free to talk to you. I have had good luck with Mirabel and Remy not doing that behavior.

To a great extent, you just have to know going on that you are going to lose out on some of the golden bonus events- and the red glow pick up the thrown plants events.

Once you are growing pumpkins, the "take" becomes a non-issue. I may have to stop planting crops because I already hit $10M. It is an enjoyable activity, but no longer really needed for me.

They should just change it so the glowy plant give 10 bonus harvests, period. It stays glowy until you get the 10. Or maybe have all 10 pop out like the gems. Having to jam on the button is just stupid.

Yup I have done the jail but I have a pretty big farm... I wish they would just fix it rather than having to use workarounds. Just frustrating. :(
