Starts Monday, February 20th, 2017 With the Musical Dash feature soon to come to an end, the FarmVille Studio has already begun work on the next all-farm feature, this time it will be the MORPH MACHINE! In the vein of Mystrees, Movie Mania and the dreaded Maharaja's Stable, the Morph Machine feature will have us choosing a stage and crafting Solar Cells to help Albert Brainstein transform beautiful Atlantean animals in his Morph Machine. Check out the details below and please do share...
MAKE SURE TO READ THE FULL POST, AND CHECK OUT THE TABLES BELOW SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW HOW MANY DUPLICATES TO EXPECT BASED ON THE COLLECTION THAT YOU CHOOSE.
The FarmVille Morph Machine feature is currently scheduled to be available on our farms from February 20th, 2017 to March 22nd, 2017.
A look at the loading screen.
A look at the Albert's Science Lab, the building associated with this feature.
A look at our mad scientist character Guide, Albert Brainstein.

The stations in this feature will be called Morph Machines.
A look at the popup that we will get when the feature goes live on our farms.

Once the Morph Machine feature goes live, you will be able to access it through the Albert's Science Lab building, or via this icon on the right side of your farm screen.
A look at the tutorials for this feature.
We will be crafting and collecting Solar Cells to transform the Atlantean Animals in the Morph Machines. It appears that the limit of solar cells that you can collect from the feed is 15 per day, but with similar past features many players were stopped at a lower number.
A look at the crafting recipes for solar cells. You will be able to craft them in the craft shop in increments of 1,3, and 5. The recipes will not be available in the craft shop until the normal market update time prior to the scheduled beginning of the feature. The new crops will release to the market with the same update.

As always, if you do not wish to craft or collect the solar cells, you can opt to purchase them for Farm Cash.

Your Dirt Farmer team has found some unreleased crops that will be included in the recipes. Check out a preview of them in the below table. Remember that these are new crops with no mastery, and as such, bushel yields will be significantly lower with them until mastery - plant accordingly.

When the feature goes live, we will be invited to choose between mini, medium and mega morpher collections. There will be some different rewards in each collection.

You will be able to change your collection prior to completion ONCE only. After that you will need to complete one stage to begin another. If you do opt to switch prior to completing your collection, be aware that you will lose any morph machines that are in progress at the time.

If you complete a collection with time remaining on the feature, you can play for another collection. If you opt to replay a collection that you have already completed, Albert Brainstein will ask if you are sure.

Now for a look at the collections
Friendly reminder from your Dirt Farmer team. When you place a completed Transmorpher on you farm, do not click on anything until the transformation is complete. Otherwise you risk the Transmorpher freezing and it will then never transform.
Remember that this type of feature is RANDOM and you can get several duplicate animals prior to completing your collection.
Now for a look at the tend amounts and wait times associated with this feature. You will need
Stage Number | Solar Cells Required To Tend | Wait time to tend next Stage |
1 | 2 | 4 Hours |
2 | 4 | 6 Hours |
3 | 6 | 7 Hours |
4 | 8 | 8 Hours |
5 | Transform |
The Mini Morpher Collection contains 5 animals, with one designated as rare.
This collection offers 3 unlocked machines (you can purchase extra for Farm Cash, but the Farm Cash ones just give the same animals. Also be aware before deciding that purchased machines may not be available on other collections if you opt to play for more than one. They have not been in some past similar features.
It will take a maximum of 13 attempts to complete the set (which means you could very well depending on luck get 8 duplicate animals prior to getting the last one) Per current coding, you will get up to 3 of each common and uncommon animal before completing the set - remember that the Sea Queen Poodle and Water Warrior Wolf are in all collections, so if you try to win all prizes you could end up with many more of those.
Water Warrior Wolf | Sea Queen Poodle | Oceanic Meerkat |
Common | Common | Rare |
Royal Atlantean Chicken | Coral Grace Peacock | |
Uncommon | Uncommon |
The Medium Morpher Collection contains 9 animals, with two designated as rare.
This collection offers 4 unlocked machines (you can purchase extra for Farm Cash, but the Farm Cash ones just give the same animals. Also be aware before deciding that purchased machines may not be available on other collections if you opt to play for more than one. They have not been in some past similar features.
It will take a maximum of 25 attempts to complete the set (which means you could very well depending on luck get 16 duplicate animals prior to getting the last one) Per current coding, you will get up to 2-4 of each common and uncommon animal before completing the set - remember that the Sea Queen Poodle and Water Warrior Wolf are in all collections, so if you try to win all prizes you could end up with many more of those. Exact maximums per animal before completing set is in parenthesis after probability. There are some items with the same maximum but different probability, due to change in odds of that animal. If you're getting less common ones first, you may be lucky and not have to do the maximum attempts.

The Mega Morpher Collections contains 11 animals, with 4 designated as rare.
This collection offers 5 unlocked machines (you can purchase extra for Farm Cash, but the Farm Cash ones just give the same animals. Also be aware before deciding that purchased machines may not be available on other collections if you opt to play for more than one. They have not been in some past similar features.
It will take a maximum of 40 attempts to complete the set (which means you could very well depending on luck get 29 duplicate animals prior to getting the last one) Per current coding, you will get up to 3-5 of each common and uncommon animal before completing the set - remember that the Sea Queen Poodle and Water Warrior Wolf are in all collections, so if you try to win all prizes you could end up with many more of those. Exact maximums per animal before completing set is in parenthesis after probability. There are some items with the same maximum but different probability, due to change in odds of that animal.

Now for a look at some of the math involved.
If you wanted to make sure you got every prize you would need to raise at most 78 morph machines. (13+25+40).
At 20 solar cells per machine, you would need 1,560 solar cells maximum.
At 25 hours per machine lets break that down (remember depending on luck, you may finish a collection with less than the max attempts)
The Mini Morpher Collection has 3 open machines and a maximum of 13 attempts. You would need to tend all machines 4 times and one machine a 5th time for a total of 125 hours or 5.2 days.
The Medium Morpher Collection has 4 open machines and a maximum of 25 attempts. You would need to tend all machines 6 times and one machine a 7th time for a total of 175 hours or 7.3 days.
The Mega Morpher Collection has 5 open machines and a maximum of 40 attempts. You would need to tend all machines 8 times and one machine a 9th time for a total of 225 hours or 9.4 days.
All prizes could be earned in 22 days if you did not miss a tend time, so there are at least 4-6 days (depending on when the fc only option begins) grace and it is very possible to win all prizes within the allotted time if you so choose.
Finally a look at the offspring from the animals in this feature.
Royal Atlantean Egg | Raging Sea Bull Calf | Nereid Pegasus Foal |
Poseidon's Pride Horse Foal | Undersea Legend Pegacorn Foal | Coraline Pegasus Foal |
Atlantys Unicorn Foal | Pristine Water Fawn |
When the feature ends, you will be given two additional days to PURCHASE remaining animals for FARM CASH. Do not wait until the end to redeem or you will lose progress at that time.
That's all for now, stay tuned to the Dirt Farmer for all of the latest FarmVille news and information.
Can't use the morphing things in my gift box. I placed the science lab but still nothing.
ReplyDeleteMy final step took 8 not 6
ReplyDeleteOK, so I'm supposed to have the Sea Queen Poodle, but not in gift box...where is it???
ReplyDeleteYou said, "If you do opt to switch prior to completing your collection, be aware that you will lose any morph machines that are in progress at the time." Do you know if you lose morph machines in progress if your collection is complete and you switch?
