Hello and welcome to another episode of Sunflower Land gameplay. If you are not familiar with the game check it out, it's already 4 years old, has its own Flower token (current price: $0.1065) and thousands of players from all over the world. My cyber name is Borgminer, but specially for Hive platform I've added appropriate prefix, so I'm @Hiveborgminer here.
Join the Sunflower Land here, fun pixel based farming play2earn game. There is special bonus for you for using my ref link! Good for you - good for me.
I'm currently on Desert Island and trying to upgrade to Volcano Island.
As you can see from the header image there is something strange happening on my island. Tornado is ravaging my farm and buildings! So for the next 24 hours I will not be able to harvest part of my farm and use some of my buildings.
On Sunflower Calendar you can see which day is reserved for which event. While some of the events are good like Double Delivery and Full Moon event others may be good or bad (50% chance) but events are chosen randomly at the start of the day and you can't know in advance what will happen.
There are 4 disaster events in the game: Tornado, Insect Plague, Great Freeze and Tsunami.
Luckily there are ways to protect your Island from those events, but with a cost.
If you go to Plaza, on the right side you can find Bailey. He is situated just between Auctioneer and Poppy. When you click on it you are presented with several protections you can buy to protect your farm and buildings.
Tornado Pinwheel is a magical pinwheel that protects you from the Tornado. All of these protection items are one-use only! This means you must buy news one when you spend it. Pinwheel costs 60 Wood, 10 Leather and 200 Coins.
Mangrove protects you from the Tsunami. It costs 60 Wood, 10 Leather and 200 Coins (same as Pinwheel).
Thermal Stone protects you from the Great Freeze. It costs 10 Stones, 10 Wool and 200 Coins.
Protective Pesticides protects you from the Insect Plague. It costs 60 Wood, 60 Feather and 200 Coins.
This all sounds nice and sweet but if you do the math it's not always beneficial. Let's say if I got the Pinwheel for Tornado. It will cost me 60 Wood = 0.6 Flower and 10 Leather = 2.2 Flower (let's ignore the Coins). That's 2.8 Flowers. For that money I will get to harvest my farm. Tornado locked half of my plots, let's say 30 plots. If I have most expensive crops, which is wheat right now, I'll get extra 40 Wheat with bonuses. That's worth around 0.8 Flower. I will also get my buildings unlocked, which can get me around 1-2 Flower per delivery (if I'm VIP status). BUT I will also need to pay something to make the deliveries, so that's a minus.
So the math says I'm only getting back what I've spend and no more. Basically with these protections you need to do the math and calculate based on current affairs you have you will really benefit from them or if it's maybe better for you just to wait for the events to pass.
There are also NFT Guardians you can buy to protect you during specific Season, but they are way to expensive from 137 USD to 231 USD.
Sunflower Land is a complex world, follow me to learn more about it.
Ask me if you have any questions.
