thank you so much! I hope I cleared it up at least a little!

And also if I may add on why the triple plate takes longer; the game programmes the plates randomly, so if there is a triple plate, it has more time to develop, so if on a single organic there was one long feed, on a triple it may triple as well, so there will be three long feeds. That's only my observation and it fits into my math, though :)

Sometimes wildlife does arrive very early but that is due to the plate's timing, actually. And no; single, double & triple foods behave the same in their respectful categories.

The single organic provides 5 feeds in 12 hours, double organic behaves like its' name - doubles the amount of feeds in double the time and the same stuff happens with triple - it triples the feeds in triple the time.

If, eg., on a superfood plate, a mole arrived 4:05 hours ago, and it was spotted within the 5 minute period (pink dmd), and then afterwards 2:55 hours ago a rainbow dragon visited the garden and was spotted within the first 5 minutes, there is a high likelyhood a Unicorn would have arrived maybe 40 minutes ago due to it's rarity (it takes long time to arrive), but because of that wait of additional hour (average on SF is usually every 1:20h so you get 20 feeds in 24hrs, 24/20=1.2), it has to "balance the plate out", so a more common wildlife can arrive as early as 30ish minutes on used superfood, which means that in this moment another, say, mole would be due.

The same applies to organic & reg :)

Hello, I never water gardens that have freshly been watered (last watering being under 3 minutes), and when I do, it goes like this:

Superfood: anything over 1 hour-1:05h
Organic: anything over 2.20h
Regular: anything over 3 to 3.5 hours

Also, I check the past feedings of the plate, for example, single organic provides 5 feedings over 12 hours, that means that some wildlife may appear late (e.g. 4 hours after last feed), which can mean that the next feed will be quicker, so in those cases I water even earlier than in the list above.

For example, if there is a "big contender" wildlife, like any Unicorn for an example, if the last feeding on a superfood was more than 2 hours after the previous feeding, that means that this feeding of Unicorn will come at as early as 1:05 hours, so I water earlier.

This applies to all foods I've listed above with respectful "earliest water times".

If you have any more questions please do ask :)) Good luck hunting!

Tyvm!!

Pink Fairy Armadillo garden would include the following –
A Fully Grown Mushroom
(For great results use a Fully Grown Pink Cap Mushroom, unless you have not progressed that far, then use best available.
Alternatively, if you are able to, use a Supershroom as these often give even better results – please remember you may get Caterpillars though!)
2 x Fully Grown Organ Pipe Cactus
2 x Ready For Harvest Carmena Aviflora (Any Colour)
2 x Low Tables of Organic VeggiesTOP TIP
