Hello everyone!
It seems like many people still struggle to understand what exactly are the requirements to move on, and what is needed to get there. I have seen people accuse others for nicking their caterpillars (oh dear) even though they have no supershroom, for example, and this is one of the false assumptions. So, I try to list the requirements here, maybe it helps =)
------------------------------------------------------------------
FROM RED TO ORANGE (From set 1 to set 2)
1) YOU NEED TO SPOT ONE RED BUTTERFLY (sunset dreamer) IN SOMEONE ELSE'S GARDEN.
- Own garden does not count. To do this, you need nothing special in your garden.
2) YOU NEED TO HAVE 3 RED BUTTERFLIES SPOTTED IN YOUR OWN GARDEN
- In order to get 3 butterflies to visit you, you need to find 3 red caterpillars in other people's gardens, and they need to form a chrysalis to your red butterpilla plants (one at a time), when they are at least 3 minutes old, but not older than two hours (when they get fully grown).
NOTE: it used to be during the first hour, but this has now changed, and different plants have different times - red butterpillaflora plant gets fully grown in 2 hours, so that is the time for them.
- You can only get one chrysalis at a time, so you need to plant one red butterpillaflora, find a caterpillar at a correct time (stated above) and wait for the nurturing plant to get fully grown (2 hours), before you can plant another butterflora and start again.
- You do NOT need a supershroom to do this. All you need is to have one butterflora plant in your garden, ready to give a home to a caterpillar.
- The ONLY thing that attracts the butterfly is the sparkling butterflora, that used to have a chrysalis on it. You do not need the supershroom to attract butterflies.
- Spotting caterpillars when you have no home for them to offer (the butterpillaflora) does not help you with leveling up the butterfly levels. They do not count anywhere.
- You can spot your own butterflies in your garden if you want to, they still count as "spotted in your garden", though they don't count as the one that you need to find elsewhere.
3) YOU NEED TO HAVE 10 RED CATERPILLARS SPOTTED IN YOUR OWN GARDEN
- Now, THIS is when you need the supershroom. The red caterpillars are attracted to it, and only to it , while it is fully grown (not any more when it is ready for harvest).
- It doesn't matter what other flowers you have in your garden, but caterpillars are rare in a funny way: if you have competition from average critters, those can get to the food quicker than caterpillars. If you are attracting nothing else than caterpillars, you get only them.
- Be smart and use your precious supershroom time wisely: remove the competition from other critters and it should be no problem to get those 10 to visit you during those 36 hours that the mushroom is fully grown, and attracting them.
4) YOU NEED TO HARVEST ONE RED BUTTERPILLAFLORA PLANT
- It does not have to be a flower that once attracted a butterfly. Any red butterpillaflora plant will do. Takes 5 days to get ready for harvest.
