Default What types of Facilities are there?

There are Production Facilities. These are where you make products which you can sell at market to make coins. These can be worked by friends.

There are Non Workable Facilities. These use your coins to produce a product which you can use to make other products in Production Facilities. These can NOT be worked by friends.

There are Service Facilities. These do not produce any goods but instead are where you can stock products that have been made in Production Facilities. When you cash these out, you will earn about 50% more profit than just selling them at market. These can be worked by friends.


When you buy a new facility and place it on your farm you will see an extra popup with information on how to use it. This popup will no stop showing up for levels over 200:

Some Production and Service Facilities are classified as "Funeral" and "Religious Facilities". They still produce or stock products and friends can work them, as long as they have not opted out of doing them, but you can not post facility work from these. If you want to opt out of working those facilities there is an option in your game Preferences for them, remove the check marks for "Skip Funeral Facilities" and "Skip Religious Facilities".
The Funeral and Religious Facilities are :
  • Funeral Supplies Factory
  • Funeral Home
  • Buddhist Supplies Factory
  • Buddha Shop
  • Fortune Teller Supplies Factory
  • Fortune Teller Wagon


The list of all the Non-Workable Facilities in Farm Town are in this Chapter post #14
The lists of Production Facilities in Farm Town are in Chapter 13.1 List of Production Facilities
The lists of Service Facilities in Farm Town are in Chapter 13.2 List of Service Facilities


There is also a Super Facility. This feature will be explained later in this Chapter.


Is there a Limit on how many Facilities I can put on a farm?

Yes. There are 2 limits.

The first limit is that you can only have one of each type of facility on a farm, not multiples of the same facility.

The exception to this rule is where there are 2 different facilities that produce the same products, one just produces the products faster than the other, you may have one of each of those on a farm. For example these facilities can be on the same farm:

  • Bakery and Turbo Bakery
  • Bee Farm and Turbo Bee Farm
  • Cinnamon Factory and Turbo Cinnamon Factory
  • Dairy Processing Plant and Turbo Dairy Processing Plant
  • Fish Farming Plant and Turbo Fish Farming Plant
  • Ink and Pigments Factory and Turbo Ink and Pigments Factory
  • Metal Mill and Turbo Metal Mill
  • Mineral Mine and Turbo Mineral Mine
  • Oil Factory and Turbo Oil Factory
  • Oil Pump and Offshore Oil Rig
  • Oil Refinery and Turbo Oil Refinery
  • Open-Pit Mine and Turbo Open-Pit Mine
  • Paper Mill and Turbo Paper Mill
  • Petrochemical Plant and Turbo Petrochemical Plant
  • Red Windmill and Stone Windmill
  • Rubber Factory and Turbo Rubber Factory
  • Sawmill and Turbo Sawmill
  • Sugar Refinery and Turbo Sugar Refinery
  • Textile and Spinning Mill and Turbo Textile and Spinning Mill
  • Watermill and Turbo Watermill

NOTE: You can not do this with the Animal sheds. There are regular animal sheds and super animal sheds. Generally you can harvest super animal sheds more often than a regular animal shed. For example one regular wool shed OR one super wool shed, not both of them.

WARNING! Be careful if you decide to move your facilities to a different farm that you do not place 2 identical facilities on the same farm. There is no warning popup message to tell you that you are placing another facility on the farm that is already there when you are moving them from your Item storage to the farm. You only get that warning when buying a new facility.

If you did place identical facilities on the same farm, only one of them produces or stock items. The others behave as decoration.

You will not be able to see that you have multiples of the same facility on the same farm in the Facility Manager as only one of them is actually producing or stocking items.

For Farm Cash facilities ONLY - currently there is no warning for duplicated coin facilities. When you go to a farm that has more than one of the same Farm Cash facility on it you will see a warning popup telling you which facilities you have more than one of on the farm you are on.

This is an example of the message:
The Don't tell me again in this session check box allows you to disable the pop up for the session. This means that if you were not to move the duplicate facilities to other farms at that time, you won't see message again until you reload the game and go to a farm that has duplicate facilities on it.

If you were to click the red X it just closes the message and you can continue what you were doing.

When you click the green check mark.....
  • If you already have those types of facilities showing in your game preferences and anything else like crops, trees etc, the game will hide anything showing and then show you just the facilities that you have multiples of on that farm so they are easy for you to spot.

  • If you don't have those types of facilities check marked to show in your preferences. It will show you a warning message asking you if you want to show them. Clicking the red X closes the window and you can carry on with what you were doing. If you click the green check mark, the game will automatically add a check mark to that setting in your preferences and remove the check marks for everything else that you may have set to show, then show you just the facilities that you have multiples of on that farm so they are easy for you to spot. Example of the warning:



In the following picture, the facilities are not far from each other. If you don't see them in view, make sure you look all over the entire farm all the way to the edges.

To show the other items again, click on Show Items bottom right of your game screen. The game will then load everything that is on that farm.

If you refresh the farm or go to another farm the settings will revert to what you had them set to plus the facilities if you did not already have them showing.





When you try to store the duplicate facility, you will see the normal warning about loss of products asking you to confirm that you want to do this. When it's a duplicate facility, you don't actually lose any products. It's not producing or stocking anything. Duplicates behave as decor, what the second one does is just copies the information from the first one so it doesn't matter which one you look in, they will both have the same information.

As long as you are leaving one of them on the farm, you can store the duplicates without losing the products from the one left on the farm. It does not matter which one of them you store. Example of the warning:



So if you move a lot of facilities to other farms it's always worth leaving the farm and returning to it to see if you get any warning so you know if there is a problem with having duplicate Farm Cash facilities on that farm.




Duplicate coin facilities - If you think you may have more than one of a coin facility on a farm, you know the name of the facility and you want to check, you can use the Search tool in your tool box:

  1. Go to the farm where you think the duplicate facilities are.

  2. You need to have a check mark added to Show Regular Facilities and/or Show Service Facilities in your game preferences to see them. Non-workable facilities show up under the Regular Facilities selection.

  3. Open your toolbox and click on the on the search tool.

  4. A search box will open.

  5. Type in the name of the facility you are looking for.

  6. Select Hide Non-Matching Items

  7. Click the green check mark and then only the items meeting your search criteria will show.



The second limit is the total amount of facilities you can have on one farm. This limit is between 350 and 400.However, that amount can also be affected by how much production you have in those facilities that have not been stored.
If you see a message telling you that you have too many facilities on a farm, the first thing we suggest is to store all production from those facilities and cash out the service facilities, then refresh farm and see if the message goes away.

If the message clears, do NOT not add any more facilities to that farm and remember to store products and cash out regularly.

If the message comes back, store all production, cash out the service facilities and move some facilities to another farm. You may want to wait until the facilities are empty so that you do not lose any products. If you store a facility that still has pending production you will see a warning popup message telling you that.

NOTE: Train locomotives and their long cars also count as part of this limit, one for each locomotive and one for each long car, so you need to take all of those trains and long cars into account as well, if you have the trains on the same farms your facilities are on.


When you have more than one farm there is a quick way to find out how many facilities of each type ( regular facilities that can be worked, no-workable facilities, service facilities) you have on a farm. This does not include the trains in the count. You can find information on how to do that later in this chapter or you can click this link: What is Show Facility Info?
