If you have a large stock of seeds always wait for clear sky and that message in early hours. It's a quite bad winter this one, everybody stocking seeds atm.

there have been at least 4 clear early hours/morning ticks to plant in the last 3 days (and those are just the ones my sorry inactive ass has caught :) )

Aye there is sun if you look for it, but th season is winter, it's not supposed to be wildly sunny. I know it's a pain in the arse but that's the way it is :(

There has been atleast 2 plantable ticks every day during the last 3 days, this coming from someone that plays no more than 2-3 hours a day at the moment makes me think that you are extremely innactive or just have **** luck.

Re: Anyone seen a sunny tick in last 3 days?

Well my luck just sucks then, and what the hell? Im not going to play this browser game 12 hours a day that would be impossible, since all id be ding al day is sitting down at my computer doing nothing as i let the ticks go by, i do come on ever few hours or so on my laptop though, but as i dont really know how to predict if next tick a tornado is going to destroy 80% of my plants as i dont really know how you can guess when a sunny tick is coming up i just keep planting just before a tornado >_<, but since somehow everyone else knows that there is going to be tornados, thunderstorms etc and no sunny tick then im just at a huge disadvantage compard to all other players...

Re: Anyone seen a sunny tick in last 3 days?

ah i see what your doing wrong...

at "Early Hours" in the maintenance page it will say "The sun will be rising next tick...blah de blah"

THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL BE SUNNY! You have to look at the weather (the little picture top right hand side)..if the weather looks cloudy, or raining etc..DONT PLANT!

If you cant make out what kind of picture it is, hover over the picture with your mouse and cos of the way the page is made it'll say "Light rain" or "slightly cloudy" etc..

You need to wait until the skys are clear (unless you want to risk it, as sometimes the weather will change...but i wouldnt advise it)

(i will screenshot a good early morning pic in a sec and post it here)

Oh, and btw, i know what weathers are, bu i thought the weather was more random than it is i.e dont usually have 2 sunny ticks in a row or more, i just had a lack of knowledge on this matter...still learning :)

Hehe, you seem to lack knowledge of more than just the weather matters, but its okay, we've all walked the way, just ask what you don't understand and if you want you understand things you will! :p
