As everyone is busy working hard on their FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise farms, paradise is filling up quickly! The Hawaiian Paradise quests’ crop requirements are increasing which means that farmers are needing more of their farm land for crop space. All those Hawaiian Paradise animal habitats take up quite the chunk of land so most farmers find expansions necessary.
Good news, this evening Zynga introduced the “Awesome Atoll” 24×24 Hawaiian Paradise Expansion to the FarmVille Market and it can be purchased with Farm Coconuts. However, be prepared to spend a small fortune of your Farm Coconuts. This expansion costs 750,000 Coconuts. Of course, if you don’t have that many Coconuts to spare there is always the option to spend Farm Cash instead. The Farm Cash price for this expansion is 100 Farm Cash.
The Awesome Atoll expansion will allow you to plant 175 plots on land and 135 plots in water.

As you are well aware, FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise has its own special currency- Coconuts.
These Coconuts have been causing quite the confusion and tension among farmers. Specifically, which farms you can actually harvest Coconuts on keeps changing in FarmVille.
When we talk about harvesting Coconuts, we are only referring to those items that produce Coconuts. Many of you also seem confused about this so we’d like to clear that up while we are on topic in the side note below. If this information is insulting your virtual farming expertise, please skip ahead.
Side Note:What’s up with Coconuts?!FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise has two currencies which include Farm Cash and the new Coconuts. Only items designated as Coconut producers will yield Coconuts when harvested. This means that although you may have placed some cool animals on your Hawaiian Paradise farm that you’ve gotten from the Facebook News Feed, found leftover in your FarmVille Gift Box, or even purchased in the FarmVille Market- only the Coconut producing animals will yield Coconuts! This also applies to Hawaiian animal habitats. It doesn’t matter if you have a Hawaiian Horse Paddock full of horses. If they are all regular Farm Coin producing horses, then you will only get Farm Coins when harvesting your Hawaiian Horse Paddock. On the other hand, if you have a stable stocked full of Coral Horses (Limited Edition Hawaiian Paradise item) you will be treated to Coconuts upon harvesting. Remember:
Only Coconut-producing items (animals/trees) will produce Coconuts.
Farm Coin-producing items (animals/trees) will produce Farm Coins in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise.
Be sure to check an item’s market icon as shown in the FarmVille Market and it will display a Coconut value if item is able to produce Coconuts. Read more about Coconuts by clicking here.
Now back to the issue at hand, in case you haven’t been keeping up, here’s a quick recap on Coconuts.
First, certain Coconut-producing items were able to harvest Coconuts on all farms. This was a FarmVille “Known Issue” that later became resolved by making Hawaiian Paradise items able to harvest Coconuts in Hawaiian Paradise only. The original intention was that Hawaiian Paradise items would only be able to harvest Coconuts if they were placed on Hawaiian Paradise farms.
“Coconuts are granted outside of Hawaiian Paradise when harvesting!
Coconuts are granted outside of Hawaiian Paradise when harvesting applicable animals/items.
Last Update: 3/2/12
Description: Since the release of Hawaiian Paradise, players have been receiving Coconuts when harvesting applicable animals/items outside of their Hawaiian Paradise farm. Coconuts should only be granted when an item is placed/harvested in Hawaiian Paradise.
Then, FarmVille’s official Facebook Fan Page announced on March 6th that they would be allowing players to harvest Coconuts from Hawaiian Paradise items on all farms.
“FarmVille: Your feedback on this is loud and clear! Effective immediately, we are reverting the rules to allow players to harvest coconuts from Hawaiian Paradise items on all farms. ” (Source: Official FarmVille Facebook Fan Page)
Now, we are back to where we started (I think?) as players are once again reporting that they are unable to harvest Coconuts from animals or trees that should produce Coconuts on any other farm besides FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. We are only getting Coconuts in Hawaiian Paradise. This has since become a FarmVille “Known Issue” as well.
“Coconuts Not Being harvested On Other Farms
Last Update: 3/8/2012
Description: Since 3-8-2012, players are unable to receive Coconuts for Harvesting Animals or Trees that are Coconut Producers on Farms other than HP.
Status: The FarmVille studio is aware of these reports and is investigating the issue.
Are you Coconut confused? So is everyone else. More details to follow… In the meantime tell us what you think!
Should you be able to harvest Coconuts from Coconut producing items on any farm or just Hawaiian Paradise? Take our Poll below and let’s discuss in the comments.
Many of you FarmVille Freaks who just got regular access to FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise felt a little snubbed for being greeted with zero free Coconuts. How’s a farmer supposed to buy seeds? No, this is not a gimmick to get you to purchase Farm Cash. It is an unintentional error with a simple remedy. Refresh!
Question: I just got to my FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise farm and there is a balance of zero Coconuts- what happened to the free Coconuts every farmer should get to start out with?
Answer: This is an error. Refresh your FarmVille game and you should receive the free Coconuts to get you farming and planting in no time!
By now you’ve probably already heard that in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise the preferred currency is Coconuts. In the land of paradise your Farm Coins are no good. Of course your Farm Cash is still useable, but you won’t have access to your existing bank of Farm Coins. Not that it matters really, because everything costs Coconuts in Hawaiian Paradise.
Let’s talk more Coconuts.There’s a mix of emotions regarding the new currency. On one hand, starting from scratch and building up our farms with good old fashioned hard work provides a new challenge. There’s the “Beat Hawaii” challenge where you save up 1 million Coconuts for the Hawaiian Villa which is reminiscent of the olden days of FarmVille farming when farmers were finally able to purchase the regular Villa for your farm meant that you had arrived. (Read more about that by visiting this FarmVille Freak article here.) In opposition, starting with very little Coconuts (you are given some for starters) means that you will have to farm wisely, plant crops to earn Coconuts, and also harvest them on time because withered crops are not only ugly, but they also mean wasted money or Coconuts. Withered crops is pretty much like throwing your Coconuts away.
This seems fair enough, FarmVille has given us a clean slate and leveled the playing field in Hawaiian Paradise. It’s the details of Coconuts that need to be clarified. If you were hoping to get ahead and use some of those stored items such as extra animals and trees lying around your FarmVille Gift Box on your Hawaiian Paradise farm- think again. Not every item will harvest Coconuts in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. What? For example, after placing a few animals that were taking up space in our FarmVille Gift Box- a Beaded Pig, Mardi Gras Llama, Black Horse, Skeleton Calf, and Ugly Duckling in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise, none of these animals harvested Coconuts. Instead, they produced Farm Coins despite not being able to use them in Hawaiian Paradise. Note, each of the animals listed above were placed “unsheltered”on a Hawaiian Paradise farm or in other words, they were not housed in a animal habitat. Turns out that sheltered or unsheltered doesn’t matter. Why? You can’t make a non-Coconut producing animal suddenly be able to produce Coconuts just by placing them in a Hawaiian animal habitat.
Only Coconut-producing items (animals/trees) will produce Coconuts.
Farm Coin-producing items (animals/trees) will produce Farm Coins in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise.
So if you are thinking about purchasing a new tree or animal for your Hawaiian Paradise farm, be sure to check its market icon which will show you a numerical value for each harvest in both Farm Coins and Coconuts. And if doesn’t have a value for Coconuts? It’s safe to assume (at least for now) that this item will not produce Coconuts in Hawaiian Paradise. The trickery! Coconut confused much? There’s more.
Perhaps you were hoping to get Coconut rich by using trees on your other farms. Nope, Zynga has fixed that too, and you will no longer be able to harvest items for Coconuts on your other farms. Turns out that being able to harvest Coconuts on other farms besides Hawaii was unintentional and never part of the plan. Read more details below from FarmVille Community Manager, Lexilicious:
“Hey Farmers!
You may have noticed that you are no longer receiving Coconuts when harvesting certain items/animals outside of your Hawaiian Paradise Farm.
It was never intended for coconuts to be obtained outside of Hawaii. In order to rectify this mistake and ensure that everyone is participating on a level playing field, we have removed the ability to receive Coconuts outside of Hawaiian Paradise.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration this issue may have caused and we would like to thank you for your continued support and understanding while we work to improve the FarmVille experience for all of our players.” (Source: Official FarmVille Forum)

There’s more news on the upcoming FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. Specifically, let’s talk currency and coconuts in the land of paradise!
Coconuts will be the preferred currency in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. Of course there’s always a Farm Cash option because when you’re willing to spend Farm Cash the big Z is more than happy to accomodate. What does this mean? This means, that items can be purchased and resold using the Coconut currency as well as be harvested for Coconuts. For example, when you harvest a Dolphin it will yield Coconuts.
As you can see in the unreleased image below, there may also be the option to convert any existing Farm Coins into Coconuts. The rumor is that FarmVille will be gifting us farmers around 6,000 free Coconuts when we arrive at our Hawaiian Paradise farms.
Continuing with the “Far East” theme, FarmVille has added a Coconut Tree, Coconut Pile, Coconuts, and Bougainvillea Pot to the FarmVille Market on 04.13.10.
FarmVille Coconut Tree
FarmVille Coconut Pile
FarmVille Coconuts
FarmVille Bougainvillea Pot
These items are limited special edition decorations and will only be available during the next 20 days.
