## Barney’s Meadows

Barney’s Meadows is where the game starts. This world is comprised of 5 levels, all are quite easy as they serve as tutorials. Click any link below to go directly to each level:

- Barney’s Meadows 1
- Barney’s Meadows 2
- Barney’s Meadows 3
- Barney’s Meadows 4
- Barney’s Meadows 5

### Barney’s Meadows 1

This is the first level of the game, so it is very easy.
Click the seed sack, then a free plot. Repeat until all four plots are seeded.
When you see the water drop symbol above a crop, click the well to fill the bucket, then the thirsty crop to water it.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Barney’s Meadows 2

Start by growing wheat on 3 plots and grass on 6, preferably in this order. Put as many grass units into the haystack machine as shown on its sign.
While it's working, you still can put more grass into it for the next batch, or bring the extra grass you grow to Barney, as he requests some.
Tip: all machines will require 1-3 units of each type of ingredient they need, but the tubs have a capacity of up to three units! You can take advantage of this feature to ready the next batch.
Tip: try to reckon the right number of ingredients to put into a machine. As you can't take them back, it would be shame if you wasted something you could use elsewhere!
It's not all that important in the early levels of the game, but will heavily matter later!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Barney’s Meadows 3

Start by growing wheat on 3 plots and grass on 6, preferably in this order. Put as many grass units into the haystack machine as shown on its sign.
While it's working, you still can put more grass into it for the next batch, or bring the extra grass you grow to Barney, as he requests some.
Tip: all machines will require 1-3 units of each type of ingredient they need, but the tubs have a capacity of up to three units! You can take advantage of this feature to ready the next batch.
Tip: try to reckon the right number of ingredients to put into a machine. As you can't take them back, it would be shame if you wasted something you could use elsewhere!
It's not all that important in the early levels of the game, but will heavily matter later!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Barney’s Meadows 4

Start by growing sunflowers on 6 plots, wheat on 6 plots and grass on 1, and when you're done, put your first egg into the hatchery to make more hens (you can hatch up to two eggs for a grand total of 3 hens). Be careful, though; more hens means a quicker consumption of their water and grass!
Make sure you fix any machine that breaks down as soon as possible. Neglecting your machine will cause you to lose a lot of time!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Barney’s Meadows 5

Beware! On this level, you have two cows, which means they will eat and drink twice as often! Pay extra attention to their troughs.
Start making cheese with milk as soon as each bottle of milk becomes available. Once you have enough, bring extra bottles directly to barney.
Never let a machine idle; it should always be running, so bring ingredients permanently.
Start by seeding the plots and once you have enough ingredients to keep a machine busy, cancel your order string with a right click to harvest them and put them into the machine. Then, resume sowing until all the plots are seeded.
Tip: remember to withdraw the products from the machines before their stockpile is full.
Go back to the Table of contents.

## The Skyland

Barney, Heather, Marvin and the Starling take off to the Moon but lack the power to go higher than the sky, and decide to go with the wind. Click any link below to go directly to each level:

- The Skyland 1
- The Skyland 2
- The Skyland 3
- The Skyland 4
- The Skyland 5
- The Skyland (EXTRA!)
- The Skyland 6
- The Skyland 7

### The Skyland 1

Clouberries grow quickly, but they need to be watered often. Be sure to harvest the crops before they rot because you will need to bring a lot of them on this level. Try to bring bundles of three cloudberries each time you bring some to Barney, and harvest them as soon as they are ripe. Harvest in priority crops which are about to rot (they will pulse with a distinct visual appearance). Grow wheat on all the plots located in the upper islets. Tip: don't for the altitude bar on the left to be almost totally depleted before you (re)start the windmill. It is relatively easy to handle, pay it a visit when it's half empty.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Skyland 2

Start by growing corn right away, you will need it to make sugar. Be sure to feed the cows often. Give them water early, once all the plots are seeded.
Tip: do not miss any flying fish from the multibot, and do not let you cows get sick.
Tip: do not grow grass outside the plots which are located right below the cows. Other plots should be reserved for other crops.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Skyland 3

Start by growing corn, then cloudberries. As soon as two corn crops are ripe, harvest them and feed them to the sugar machine.
As soon as a portion of sugar as been produced, withdraw it and put all this into the cloudcandy machine. Remember to water your thirsty crops and to reseed exhausted plots.
Tips: don't let your machines idle, this could cost prevent you from achieving Gold Time. In the same way, don't miss any flying fish your multibot may catch, and don't let your cows get sick.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Skyland 4

Grow more cloudberries than wheat, this will help you complete Barney's order. Put your first two eggs into the hatchery, then feed the sky omelette machine.
Don't wait to have enough eggs to put cloudberries; fill the cloudberry tub as soon as possible. Don't forget you can store up to 3 ingredients per tub, don't hesitate to fill the tubs to capacity, even if the recipe asks for less.
Keep an eye on your hens and don't let them get sick if you want to achieve Gold Time. Once some cloudberries are rip, feed them to the sky omelette machine, and bring the extra ones to Barney.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Skyland 5

Store your flying fish in the sky barbecue machine even if you don't have any oil to feed it yet, in order to free the multibot's bucket.
Grow sunflowers and corn before seeding cloudberries. As soon as you have two ingredients of the same type (e.g. sunflowers), put them into the machine that need them, even if you're not done seeding. You can resume sowing afterwars, as it will allow your machines to start producing earlier.
Don't forget the altitude bar!
Tip: don't forget to water thirsty crops and to reseed exhausted plots.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Skyland (EXTRA!)

Beware, you have two multibots on this level, so stay alert!
Start by seeding corn and sunflower first, then the other crops, and keep your machines busy as soon as you have enough ingredients to do so. Grow cloudberries on at least 6 plots to be sure to have enough to give to Barney.
Don't wait to have sunflower oil before putting fish into the sky barbecue machine.
Tip: if you no longer need a certain type of crop, don't forget that you can free the plot with the shovel, and seed something else!
Tip: don't forget you can cancel your order string instantly by clicking the right mouse button (for example if a machine breaks down and needs to be fixed right away.)
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Skyland 6

Start by growing corn and feed it to the sugar machine as soon as two plots are ripe.
Don't forget to put at least one egg into the hatchery, preferably the first one you get. If you're quick and careful enough, only 3 tomato plants can be enough.
Grow grass on two plots to be sure you always have enough to feed both the hens and the cows.
Beware, the animals will require lots of attention on this level, so be ahead of their needs.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Skyland 7

Be careful: altitude will drop faster on this level than previous ones, so keep an eye on the bar (on the left of the screen) and activate the windmill when it's off.
Start by growing clouberries on 6 plots, then corn on 2 plots, then sunflowers on 4 plots, and finally grass on 1, to feed the hens. As you can see, you have quite a lot of decently complex recipes to make so you'll need a good tactic on this level. The trick is to start harvesting cloudberries to feed them to the sky omelette and cloudcandy machines, then give the extra ones to Barney and be done with it. Right after that, you should be able to start making sugar and oil, and by this time some fish should be ready to make sky barbecue. Alternatively, you can give your first two fish to Barney, but it's better to be done with sky barbecue before you do so.
Do not forget to hatch eggs and take care of your hens.
Tip: if you don't manage to keep a steady sugar production with 2 plants of corn, try with 3 (and grow only 3 sunflowers).
Tip: don't forget you can instantly cancel your current order string by clicking the right mouse button at any time!
Go back to the Table of contents.

## Oblivious Ocean

Following the poor advice of a dull-witted bird, Barney and his friends fall into the fathomless ocean and meet a memory-impaired fish man. Click any link below to go directly to each level:

- Oblivious Ocean 1
- Oblivious Ocean 2
- Oblivious Ocean 3
- Oblivious Ocean 4
- Oblivious Ocean (EXTRA!)
- Oblivious Ocean 5
- Oblivious Ocean 6
- Oblivious Ocean 7

### Oblivious Ocean 1

Start by growing corn on 6 plots (near the sugar machine), grass on 2 plots, and starfish on the rest of your plots.
Fill the sugar machine with corn as often as possible, and if it's full, give the extra corn you grow to Barney.
Meanwhile, grow, harvest and give Barney all the starfish you can.
Be sure to use milk to make cheese as soon as it is available; you'll eventually get to give Barney the last two bottles.
Don't forget to feed your cows with grass, and turn on the oxygen machine on the left now and then to keep the gauge up.
Tip: as you can see, the oxygen bar empties pretty fast and doesn't rise much when you hit the oxygen pump, so everytime you give an order in its vicinity, click it too.
Tip: you don't need to water water your crops while in the Ocean, but they will rot slightly faster. Take advantage of this feature!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Oblivious Ocean 2

Grow 7 wheat crops, 5 starfish, and 6 tomatoes (preferably in this order, and near their seed sacks).
The trick to this level is to keep the flour machine busy while harvesting tomatoes and starfish and making sure that the bubble multibots are never full.
When your flour machine is full and you can't harvest anything else, harvest some wheat and give it to Barney.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Oblivious Ocean 3

You should grow 8 corn, 8 starfish and 2 plots of grass (preferably in this order).
Put the first two eggs your hens hatch into the hatchery, as soon as you get them, make sure your hens' troughs are never empty, and that you withdraw their eggs before there are 3 in the coop (this would block the hens).
While caring for your hens, harvest corn and make sugar, but don't immediately fill your star sweets machine (in the bottom left corner) with starfish; bring your first harvests to Barney instead, and fill the machine when some sugar is ready.
Tip: the most important and tricky element of this level is the hens. If you manage to keep a smooth egg production, everything else should be fine.
Tip: from this level on, you will have to fight pests. Just use the green spray on infested crops as soon as you see the pest symbol. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Oblivious Ocean 4

Grow corn on around 10 to 12 plots, and starfish on the rest.
Start by making sugar, and bring the rest of your early harvests to Barney while the sugar machine is busy and full.
When you have some sugar ready, start making starsweets, then carry on until you complete the order.
Make sure you get rid of pests when they show up, and keep an eye on the two multibots; withdraw their products as soon as they have 3 of them in their buckets.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Oblivious Ocean (EXTRA!)

This level is pretty straightforward: grow corn on 8 plots, starfish on 7 of them and grass on 1, next to the cow.
Start by filling the sugar machine and bring extra corn to Barney while it's busy, and do the same with starfish and the starsweet machine.
Make sure your cow never lacks food or water, and bring milk to Barney as soon as it becomes available.
If everything goes fine, you should complete the order right before the cow produces her last bottle of milk.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Oblivious Ocean 5

This level features a new recipe, the Oxydrink, and it's pretty tricky to make, but don't worry!
Start by growing starfish on 8 plots on the left part of the screen, corn on 4 in the middle of screen, wheat on 4, and sunflowers on 2, in the bottom right corner.
Make sugar out of corn; you only need 4 pieces of it, so don't spend too much time on this.
The most important thing you should focus on is actually growing starfish; make sure the starsweets machine has always enough, and bring the rest to Barney.
Sunflowers and wheat should be harvested and brought to Barney now and then. Don't overlook the oxygen pump!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Oblivious Ocean 6

Grow corn on 8 plots in the right part of the level, sunflowers on 6 in the center, and starfish on 6 plots in the bottom left corner, preferably in this order.
The trick here is to wait for oil before filling the pop-corn machine with corn.
Instead, use your first harvests of corn to make sugar for the starsweets machine, and to give Barney directly.
Once you have sunflower oil, start making pop-corn; as it requires 1 unit of corn and 1 of oil to make 1 bucket, you'll make the pop-corn you need in no time.
As always, don't overlook the scallops multibot and empty its bucket as soon as it's full.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Oblivious Ocean 7

Start by growing sunflowers on the 3 plots on the left, corn on 8 plots, and starfish on the rest.
By the time you're done seeding the plots, you should get your first oxygen bubble from the multibot in the bottom right corner. Don't worry about the oxydrink machine right now and bring it back to Barney, as he requires one.
For the time being, keep your sugar machine busy with corn, and make starsweets as soon as possible.
Brew oxydrink as soon as you have enough starsweets and oxygen bubbles, but make sure you don't put more than 3 starsweets into it; you'll also need to give 4 of them to Barney! Meanwhile, don't forget to harvest scallops from the multibot and to make sunflower oil.
Once you have made enough oxydrink, switch to pop-corn, then back to starsweets.
Go back to the Table of contents.

## The Great Volcano

After painstakinlgy following the memory-impaired Chieftain of the Fishmen Tribe, Barney and his friends manage to make it to The Great Volcano, which, they hope, will erupt and launch them to the Moon. Click any link below to go directly to each level:

- The Great Volcano 1
- The Great Volcano 2
- The Great Volcano 3
- The Great Volcano 4
- The Great Volcano 5
- The Great Volcano 6
- The Great Volcano (EXTRA!)
- The Great Volcano 7

### The Great Volcano 1

Your main concern on this level will be brewing ketchup, so start right away by growing tomatoes in the bottom right corner.
While they are growing, seed 8 plots with wheat, and finally, grow grass on the 2 plots near the cows.
Keep making as much ketchup and flour as you can, and bring extra wheat to Barney whenever you can.
Don't forget to get molten rocks from the multibot in the bottom left corner!
Once you have acquired 6 bottles of milk, stop caring for your cows. Admittedly, it's sad to see them getting sick, but you'll be able to get some spare time to make more ketchup and achieve Gold Time.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Great Volcano 2

This level is pretty easy if you manage to keep your cows happy.
As you can see, Barney requires some ketchup and quite a bunch of tomatoes, so start by growing some on 11 plots (the center and left part of the screen should do the trick).
Grow chocolate on 6 plots, and keep one plot for grass to feed your cows. By the time you're done seeding the plots, you should be able to make your first cheese using the cows' milk.
The rest is pretty straightforward: just brew ketchup while bringing back molten rocks and chocolate to Barney, make sure your cows have enough water and food, and bring tomatoes to Barney whenever the ketchup machine is full.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Great Volcano 3

On this level, sunflower oil will be the key ingredient because you'll need to bring 5 bottles to Barney, and make 7 buckets of pop-corn.
Start growing sunflowers right away on 8 plots, the leftmost ones, near the oil machine. Then, immediately afterwards, grow corn on 7 plots at the top of the field.
Finally, grow peppers and chocolate, 4 of each, on the remaining plots.
By the time you're done seeding corn, though, you should be able to harvest some sunflowers and start making oil.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Great Volcano 4

On this level, you will experience for the first time a new type of hen, which must be fed peppers instead of grass.
Start by growing tomatoes on 10 plots, in the left part of the screen, wheat on 4 plots and peppers on 7, preferably in this order.
By the time you're done seeding, don't forget to hit the sprinkler machine and lower the ambient heat. Then, start harvesting your tomatoes and proceed to brew ketchup.
Note that you can hit Gold Time even with only two hens, but three are safer, so put eggs in the hatchery as soon as possible.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Great Volcano 5

Start by growing tomatoes on 6 plots around the ketchup machine (you only need 12 tomatoes, so there's no need to overdo it!), chocolate on 8 plots and peppers on 6.
Also, don't forget to grow grass (1 plot is enough, just make sure your seed again if the crop is exhausted, keep it pest-free and water it often!)
As in all levels with animals, you can't go faster than them, but you may slow them down, so make sure that you don't hinder their production by failing to withdraw milk.
As soon as you have milk, make cheese. The rest of your time should be allotted to harvesting peppers and chocolate, spraying pesticide, watering the crops and of course keeping the heat gauge low.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Great Volcano 6

This level can be quite intense if you aren't careful enough. The explomatoes should be your main concern here, but this implies that you don't neglect your two molten rocks multibots.
Indeed, you must make sure at all time that they are not full; withdraw some rocks here and now and put them into the explomatoes machine.
This, in turn, will require you to put enough peppers and tomatoes to keep the machine busy, for if you don't, you won't be able to put molten rocks into it, and your multibots will be blocked.
The other part of the challenge is not to be overlooked, though: you must make sugar and hatch molteggs, and both will require a lot of attention from you.
You might think it's better to start with corn; it's not. Start by growing peppers in the right part of the level, tomatoes in the lower area, and corn on the left.
This will allow you to start making explomatoes as soon as possible; sugar can wait.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Great Volcano (EXTRA!)

Start by growing tomatoes on 6 plots, sunflowers on 5, peppers on 3, corn on 3 and chocolate on 6. Your first tomato harvest should be put into the explomatoes machine.
Afterwards, start making ketchup and oil. Whenever you have some spare time, harvest corn and chocolate and give them to Barney. Keep the heat low, repair your machines when needed, and everything should be fine.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Great Volcano 7

This level is less hard than it seems; the trick is to manage peppers and tomatoes efficiently. Start by growing tomatoes on 6 plots, then peppers on 3, and finally chocolate on 4.
Don't worry too much about the volcanocake in the beginning; use your first three tomatoes and peppers to make explomatoes. As always, put you first two eggs in the hatchery to make more hens.
By the time you're done, you should be able to get the 3 molten rocks you need. Then brew ketchup and bring some chocolate back to Barney.
When you feel that you can harvest peppers or chocolate but don't really need them at the time, fill the volcanocake machine. When you have three eggs, put them into it too, and bring back the rest to Barney. Don't forget to reserve one pepper to feed the hens now and then.
Go back to the Table of contents.

## Farm on the Moon

Understanding that the Great Volcano is clogged and its pressure rising, Barney and Marvin bake a cake-shaped bomb to cause an eruption, which, at last, launches them to the Moon. Click any link below to go directly to each level:

- Farm on the Moon 1
- Farm on the Moon 2
- Farm on the Moon 3
- Farm on the Moon 4
- Farm on the Moon 5
- Farm on the Moon 6
- Farm on the Moon (EXTRA!)
- Farm on the Moon 7

### Farm on the Moon 1

Grow sunflower on 6-7 plots in the right-hand part of the level - you'll need quite a few to keep the oil machine running, corn on 6-7, wheat on 5 plots and starberries on the rest.
The level is not very difficult if you keep the oil flowing and pop-corn popping. Beware! Make sure you don't drop any more oil into the pop-corn machine than needed!
Tip: as you might have noticed, turning on the shield machine doesn't raise the shield bar much, so you should get used to hit it every time Marvin goes in its vicinity!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Farm on the Moon 2

As you can easily see, the main challenges in Barney's order are flour and sugar. Both are equally demanding, so you should grow wheat and corn on about 7 plots each, and starberries on the rest.
Note that starberries will also be used to feed your cow. Make pop-corn and sugar, and harvest starberries to bring them back to Barney (or feed the cow) while the machines are busy.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Farm on the Moon 3

Start by growing tomatoes on the 11 upper plots, and starberries on the rest. Use the star milk from your cows to make moon cheese, and make sure you remove milk often.
If you absolutely must, bring back extra milk to Barney, but it is better to be done with moon cheese before doing so (the same goes for moon powder).
Keep brewing ketchup and bringing tomatoes and starberries to Barney while making cheese, and you'll be fine!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Farm on the Moon 4

This level is not very complicated: 9 plots of chocolate in the lower part of the field and starberries in the upper part will work well; just don't forget to grow grass for your hens.
Once you're done seeding, put your first two eggs into the hatchery, and start bringing starberries and chocolate to Barney.
Withdraw milk as soon as it is available and make moon cheese with moon powder. Just be sure you don't use more powder and milk than you need to make cheese, because you must bring some to Barney.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Farm on the Moon 5

Grow corn on the 9 right-hand plots, and starberries on the rest. As often in levels with two cows, removing milk as soon as it is available is key.
Barney requests a lot of sugar and corn, so this should be your main focus. Just keep an eye on the comet bits multibot and withdraw its production often.
Tip: since Barney doesn't need you to bring moon powder, it does not matter if you put too much in the machine.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Farm on the Moon 6

Start by growing corn on around 12 plots and starberries on the rest.
Although it might seem too simple at first glance, this level can be actually quite challenging, precisely because you must care for a lot of plots.
The trick is to harvest the starberries and corn crops that are about to wither first (they pulse with a distinctive visual), and to do so while the sugar machine is busy.
As always, withdrawing milk and comet bits often is important.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Farm on the Moon (EXTRA!)

This level looks simple but is actually quite tricky!
Although it might not seem that important at first glance, chocolate and starberries are actually key, so start by growing corn on 6 plots in the top right corner, then chocolate on 7 plots.
Finally, grow starberries on the rest of your available plots. Make sugar right away, for your might otherwise block your starcream machine.
While making sugar, harvest some chocolate and starberries, and make sure you withdraw milk and comet bits before their respective machines get full.
Tip: if you feel you are overwhelmed by the number of crops to tend, let them get thirsty; they won't grow, but they won't wither either. This can buy you some time; water them when you're ready.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### Farm on the Moon 7

This last level on the Moon is very demanding, so brace yourself! Start by growing corn on about 8 plots, and starberries on the rest.
The most challenging part is to use milk wisely; Barney requires some, but more importantly, you need a lot to make starcream and moon cheese. Put milk into the machine that needs it most at any given time. Do not try to fill up any one machine to capacity!
Go back to the Table of contents.

## The Mothership

As they witness the Strarling’s moving reunion with its parents, Barney, Marvin, Heather and the whole farm get abducted by a giant mothership inhabited by strange green men. Click any link below to go directly to each level:

- The Mothership 1
- The Mothership 2
- The Mothership 3
- The Mothership (EXTRA!)
- The Mothership 4
- The Mothership 5
- The Mothership 6
- The Mothership 7

### The Mothership 1

This level doesn't seem very hard at first glance, but achieving Gold Time might be a little tricky. Start by growing sunflowers on the whole right-hand part of the screen (11 plots), corn on 4 plots and Martian radish on 6.
Note that from this level on, you need to feed Martian radish to your cows as they will only produce green milk. Feed the oil machine sunflowers, and when it's full and busy, bring 5 back to Barney.
Tip: one of the first things you should do at the beginning of all mothership levels is to hit the gravity damper: gravity will raise very quickly while it's off. You should have time to seed your field first, but it's often safer to start with this.
Tip: pay close attention to the gravity damper's state at all time and abort all your current actions with a right click and go restart it if it stops working!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Mothership 2

The crop layout for this level is pretty simple: start by growing wheat on the 9 plots in the center of the field, and grow Martian radish and chocolate respectively in the top left corner and the bottom right one.
Be sure to feed the flour machine wheat at all time, hatch your first two eggs as soon as you can, and harvest radish and chocolate constantly. Now and then, feed your cow and hens radish.
Stop caring for your cow and hens when you don't need they products anymore. Whatever you do, don't forget to restart the gravity damper when it stops!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Mothership 3

The main challenge here is ketchup and tomatoes, so start by growing tomatoes on 9 plots in the "?" shaped part of the layout, then sunflowers on 4 crops (you do not really need all that many), and finally, Martian radish on 5 plots in the bottom right corner.
As you might have noticed, the Martianade requires ketchup as part of the recipe, but you also need ketchup for Barney, and tomaoes too, so don't waste any more ketchup than you need fo the Martianade! (which is 4 bottles)
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Mothership (EXTRA!)

This level is mostly harvest-oriented, but still requires you to make a lot of ketchup, so again, grow tomatoes, on 9 plots. Sunflowers are important too, grow them on 5 plots, and finally, Martian radish on 5 plots too.
Keep the oil machine running with sunflower, feed the Martianade machine ketchup (but give your first bottle to Barney so that you don't take any chance wasting it on the Martianade machine), and harvest radish for Barney as soon as you manage to feed some to the Martianade machine.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Mothership 4

This level is straightforward and should not be too hard if you do things in the right order.
As you can see, Barney requires similar quantities of wheat and radish, so divide your field in two equal parts and start growing the crops.
The cow should not be too much of a concern because it is easy to tend, but the hens should get the bulk of your attention, as you will need a lot of eggs on this level.
Put the first two ones in the hatchery as soon as you get them; make sure the hens don't get sick, and withdraw their eggs as before the coop gets full.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Mothership 5

Grow wheat on the 9 right-hand plots, and Martian radish on the 8 left-hand plots. Don't start right away by clicking the gravity damper; you have time to seed the wheat plots first.
When you're done with the wheat, do start the gravity damper (gravity should be close to its top level).
After you're done seeding half the radish plots, you should get your first egg; put it into the hatchery. After you hatch your two extra hens, put your eggs, milk and flour in the flying pie machine.
You will have time to give Barney extra flour, eggs and milk later. However, as always, make sure you don't pour too much into the flying pie machine; you can't retrieve them!
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Mothership 6

As you can see, much you don't have much room to grow crops, you do have a lot of variety of seeds, so you will need to devise a good strategy. You don't need Martian radish much, only to feed your animals. Although it is possible to grow only 2, it is safer to grow 3. The extra plot you get by growing on 2 plots should be reserved for wheat (5 or 6 plots), 4 should be dedicated to sunflowers, and 3 to corn.
You should plant in this order : sunflowers, corn, radish and wheat. Feed the oil machine sunflowers as soon as possible, and corn to the pop-corn machine. By the time you're done, wheat should be ready; make flour out of it.
Keep an eye on your animals; you have a lot of them to tend. However, it is interesting to note that your needs in eggs and milk are not that big, so stop caring for the animals as soon as you don't need their products anymore.
Tip: don't start the gravity damper right away; you actually have time to seeds all the plots first if you're quick enough. Do start it when you're done; then immediately hatch your first egg.
Go back to the Table of contents.

### The Mothership 7

The last level of the game at last! This is by far the most taxing challenge you will encounter in the game, so brace yourself!
It's possible you won't hit Gold Time right away; don't get discouraged! As you can see, you have very little room to grow crops and lots of things to produce, although at first glance, it may seem simple since you only have to bake one cake.
The most demanding recipe is the Martianade, as it uses quite a lot of ketchup, which in turn is quite demanding, tomatowise.
A good crop layout would be, in this order: tomatoes on 6 plots (the 3 upper ones in the bottom right corner, and the two rightmost ones of the 4 left-hand plots), wheat on 3 plots (the 3 lower ones in the bottom right corner), sunflowers on the 2 left in the left-hand portion, and finally, 2 Martian radishes between the cow the hens.
While this is the most optimized layout, please note that this is is still very risky and will require a lot of care from you; reseed the plots as soon as they get exhausted, or your will break your production chain. Pests become an utmost danger on this level!
So, once you are done seeding the whole field, start the gravity damper, then put your first egg into the hatchery.
Start brewing ketchup (tomatoes should be ready by now) and making flour, then harvest your first two radishes and sunflowers and feed them to the Martianade machine. Put your second egg into the hatchery.
As long as you are not done with the Martianade and flying pies, do not bother feeding them to the Trojan Cake machine.
However, if you have filled the egg tub of your flying pie machine, do withdraw your extra eggs from the coop and feed them to the Trojan Cake machine!
As soon as you do not need milk or eggs anymore, stop tending your animals immediately.
Baking the Trojan Cake itself will takes extra seconds and it is easy to miss Gold Time just because of that, so don't waste even a second on useless tasks!
Tip: don't forget that you can throw away items you picked up but don't need (or can't use anywhere) by clicking Barney. The items will be lost, but Marvin's bunker will be freed.
It is sometimes better to fix a mistake by losing a handful of items than losing time juggling with little free space!
