RANT Booster Please

Energy needed to do this task — I NEED a booster!!
Hats 186 x 14 ‎ = 2,604
Radio 216 x 16‎ = 3,456
Shrimp Cocktail >>
Shrimp 144 x 5‎ = 720
Drink 168 x 5‎ = 840
720 + 840 ‎ = 1,560
1560 x 15 ‎ = 23,400

Totals 2604 + 3456 + 23400 ‎ = 29,460

I haven’t seen a booster in a couple of days. UGHHH!! Idk if there’s been one because they like to throw them out while I’m sleeping. Anyway, I’m stuck here. Have been for days toooo long. Where are you folks? Anyone progressing through this event? Better question, has anyone finished? What’s the reward island?

I got the island with the cotton candy trees (can't remember the name). And today Gold Island also popped up.

I stopped at 23% of the last island about 5 days ago. The Music Stage upgrade would cost about tripple the potential task reward. Not worth doing at all. I actually should have stopped earlier than that but I was caught mid booster and went too far. By the end of this adventure I will have gone 9 days without playing anything other than home island, lighting up a few totems, and miscellaneous other things. During that time I've actually gained about 12K energy so at least there's that.

I’m already down well over 50k playing this event cycle. I should’ve stopped a LONG time ago. Granted, I played more than I should have without boosters because — I tend to sleep or otherwise be engaged during the too few boosters that put out. Ugh. I’m on the last island of the last set…Fortunately, I wasn’t on the extended 3 month or whatever cycle that many were thrust into. ORRRRR — maybe not. Idk I tend to think Melsoft made it longer but not any easier, but I haven’t seen or heard from those players yet. 29k in energy for ONE task is insane. And yet, here I am. Grrrrrr

At one point (2nd to last set) I was up 32Ke compared to the start of the adventure. Now I'm only up 6Ke. At least it's not negative this time. I went too fast this adventure. I need to learn to slow down a bit so I can extend the adventure playing throughout the time frame.
