Be sure to finish the chapter quests before you tear anything down. I was stuck on "make a grape farm" because I didn't have the space. I finished the halfling chapter (chapter 10) and tore some fields down to make the space, built the grape farm and carried on. The next quest said, have 3 grain farms, 3 carrot farms, 3 pumpkin farms. Since I have finished the chapter I reduced my guest race to the portal, a couple farms, and 0 fields. Then I build 3 grain fields, intending, once they were done, to upgrade them to carrot fields, and once those upgrade were done, to pumpkin fields. As you can see, I would then have had, 3 grain fields, followed by 3 carrot fields, followed by 3 pumpkin fields pp in my mind completing the quest sequentially. But or course, that's not what happened. Since the quests does check off what you have completed, once I completed the grain fields and saw the "have 3 grain fields" was complete, I moved on and upgraded them to carrot fields. Didn't check at that point since I knew I had completed the 3 carrot fields. I just upgraded them to pumpkin fields to complete the quest -- or so I thought. The "have 3 grain fields," "have 3 carrot fields" and "have 3 pumpkin fields" should say "have 3 grain fields" WITH 3 carrot fields" WITH 3 Pumpkins fields" or something indicating "Have 9 fields -- three grain, 3 carrot and 3 pumpkin."
Since I tore down the three pumpkin fields immediately I was left with one portal and one farm when I discovered that none of the quest requirements had been completed. I contacted Inno and was told of my mistake and that I would just need to build nine fields, upgrade 6 of them to carrot and then 3 of those to pumpkin. Argggg!
The first solution I suggested is that they make the instructions more clear. I thought a sequential upgrade would raise 3 fields through each requirement and thus, fulfill the quest.
The second solution I suggested is that they not have a large space requirement in the middle of a series of guest race quests. What put me off was that I had no space left after building the guest race and thus asking me to build the large "grape farm" was adding insult to injury and making it very hard to progress -- unless you know what's coming, which I didn't.
The third solution is suggested is that you can simply skip over the chapter quests if you like once you've finished the chapter.
In the end the problem is I didn't understand the quest and did it after I tore everything (for the most part) down. I'm sure there are explanations and warnings out there about these sort of things and I probably should spend more time reading them....sigh.... but who wants to spend hours reading the manuals before playing? LOL.
Well, that's my story. Hope it helps somebody else not make the same mistake. Now I'm off to wait for divine seed to build my second grain field so I can spend the next month stalled at the beginning of Elements while I wait for the halfling quests to be completed. Sigh
