Today I decided to try to build a reserve. I've drained my pets dry and I'm still over a hundred short in Pork, Soybeans, Rabbit Meat, Sunflower Seeds and Wheat, and this is AFTER buying the few things I could find off the market.

How am I supposed to do this? I can spend all this time today farming resources but tomorrow it's all just going to be eaten because nobody had the foresight to consider this when making the Reserve requirements. I'll be back to square one, having lost money and all that time trying, with nothing to show for it but frustration.

Blargh. Any tips? Nobody's selling this stuff and I need to keep money for the actual reserve anyway, and I'm on a strict time limit. I'm going to make Wanted boards but I never, ever get any replies to those so I'm not getting my hopes up. This is frustrating!

If anyone has any tips or is wiling to help me out, please let me know!

ETA: Here's my progress and what I need:

ETA2: Angel has since changed the requirements so I no longer need help, thank you anyway! Though I wish it had happened BEFORE I spent like 30K on food and stuff, lol

Sending what I have.

Thank you!! I think I'm going to edit my post so people can see what I need and track my progress.

I am about the same as you... I just thought of building today. No idea how to accomplish this now with the island limit. O_o

Concerning the last explore update, we removed the food requirements for Reserve construction. Thanks for pointing this.

I built my reserve before the explore changes.  It was REALLY hard.  I sold off all the pets I didn't have time to explore with and stopped breeding and catching wild pets.  I was so relieved when I finished.  I'm gonna see if I have anything to send you.

Before the new update, I just spammed the explorations and gathered as much food as I could in one day. Now, it's a good thing that the food requirement is gone because I don't see how I would be able to do it lol.

Not the reaction I was expecting, but thank you for changing it Angel. It really was about impossible. I'll send anyone back any food they donated me since I don't need it anymore. :)
