Close main flower

[hanson]

Hi, I like this game ;D and I have this question:
Some people close their main flower, until the galaxy has reached the 100% and the warp speed is starting.
Then they open the main-flower and they collect more stars and seeds when the flower is starting up. My question is this:
When you close the flower for a while, at what speed the flower has to be, is normal speed fast enough, or has it got to be warp speed. I think normal speed is good because otherwise you have to have a lot of water and sun (and warp speed).

I tried to ask this question for a couple of times in the origami chat but the chat was busy and for some reason nobody answered...

When you open your flower it uses all of the time since you last had the flower open. You don't gain seeds or stars any faster by closing your flower and waiting for the galaxy bonus time.

People do it because the flowers have higher growth multipliers during galaxy bonus time. Normally the multiplier on a flower is at most x64 if you have all of the support items and extra water. During galaxy bonus time, the multiplier goes as high as x350. Also warp speed is x100 instead of x30 like normal.

So if you have had your flower closed for 10 days, then open it when the galaxy bonus is running: you will pass 10 days of time. The warp speed multiplier is x100, so it will use 100 x 10 = 1000 days of all of your items with higher multipliers than normal.

okay thanks for the good explanation. :-)

I was worried if my flower had enough water and sun (and warp) if I closed it in "warp mode" (30x) but I have calculated it and I think I have enough sun and water.
