Sweets kettle in FarmCapi: strawberry jam and pumpkin sweet

Strawberry jam takes 3 strawberries and 50 minutes and is worth 175 coins. Pumpkin sweet, or doce de abóbora, from level 11, takes 2 pumpkins and 1 h 30 min and is worth 400 coins, the most valuable product in the game.

How to build and use the kettle, step by step

1. At level 10, tap the Sweets kettle building site, then Build (2,400 coins).
2. Your first strawberry jam starts right away: 45 seconds, no strawberries used. The game also adds 3 strawberries to your Barn, the ingredients for one more batch.
3. Pick a recipe and tap Make. Ingredients come out of the Barn.
4. While it works, the kettle lets off steam. When the bubble appears, tap to collect.

Queue, slots and gems

The kettle makes one sweet at a time; each slot holds an order waiting its turn. It starts with 2 slots and goes up to 5. A finished sweet keeps its slot until collected, and the queue runs with the game closed.

The kettle's slots are the priciest in the game: 51 gems for all three. Speed up costs 1 gem per 10 minutes left (rounded up): 5 gems for a fresh jam, 9 for a pumpkin sweet.

Which kettle recipe pays best

Pumpkin sweet wins on both counts: +130 coins per batch over the raw pumpkins (87 per kettle-hour) versus +58 for jam (70 an hour).

The time caveat weighs more here than at any other building, because recipe value ignores the field:

At 2 to 4 pumpkins per plot (3 on average), each sweet eats up two-thirds of a night's plot. Even so, turning pumpkins into sweets raises the value of the harvest by almost 50%.

A routine that fits

The kettle pairs well with long crops. One way to use it:

• Night: plant pumpkins and fill the kettle queue with sweets (1 h 30 min each).
• Morning: harvest the pumpkins, collect the sweets and queue 2 more; plant strawberries.
• Afternoon: harvest the strawberries and make jam while the next pumpkins grow.

With 2 slots, a queue of sweets lasts 3 hours; with 5 slots, 7 h 30 min, almost a full night.

Orders and quests

• The "Jam jars" quest (collect 3 strawberry jams) pays 250 coins, 80 XP and 2 gems.
• Granny Coti asks for strawberry jam from level 11 and pumpkin sweet from level 12. See orders.
