New Methods to Add Neighbours
Adding Neighbours on the website will now be done within the game.
If you currently have Facebook friends that you interact with frequently but they are not your Neighbours or Buddies, we strongly recommend that you add those friends to your Neighbours or Buddies using the Farmtown Facebook app while it's still available, this will make it easier to interact with those farmers in the website.
If you don't do this and Facebook deactivate the Farmtown app, you will have to search for them manually in the website via email or user id, to be able to add them to your Neighbours or Buddies, this last part is still not completed.
In the coming days, your Neighbours capacity will be increased by 30% and your Buddy List capacity will be increased by 300% (3 times more), so in total, you should be able to have connections to almost 500 farmers in the game.
These Methods are completed:
1. The new avatar menu option 'Add to Neighbours'.
Requires permission for the sent request to be accepted.
2. The NEW 'Manage' buttons in these areas are enabled:- Train Manager
- Seaport Manager
- Activity Panel (User Actions) beneath the game screen
- NCC Thank You window when Thanks are sent to you
Adding to Neighbours or Buddies in those areas does not require consent when they were current Facebook friends before the game was deactivated on Facebook on 24th July, 2023.
- Facility Chains
- Gifts. If when you have sent gifts to all of Neighbours and Buddies and you go to accept all your received gifts that the Send Back to All shows up in Pending Gifts, scroll down through the list of gifts you just accepted in Pending gifts and you will likely find that there is a farmer showing up with Manage under their name which means that they are not one of your Neighbours or Buddies.
3. When visiting a farmer, using the new 'Send Neighbour Request' and the new 'Send Buddy Request' icon in the farm owner toolbox at the bottom right.
This method requires permission for the request to be accepted in the new Friends List.
4. Adding Neighbours/Buddies using received Messages.
5. NEW - Sending farm links in Messages to help farmers with getting Neighbours/Buddies.
This method is not completed yet:
When you scroll all the way to the left in your Neighbour Bar, click the blue neighbour icon.
When enabled. It will require permission for the sent request to be accepted.
Using Manage to Add a Neighbour.
This is an Example of Manage/Buddy/Neighbour on Train Boosts received:
on the Website you can ONLY send train boosts to those
you have as a Neighbour and those you have on your Buddy list
Dara has been able to send this farmer a train boost because she has a connection to that farmer,
she has them as her Neighbour OR she has them on her Buddy List.
The farmer she sent it to does NOT have Dara as a Neighbour OR Dara on their own Buddy List so they see Manage on her Train Boost when she sends it to them.
The farmer she sent it to can Boost that train,
BUT what they can NOT do is return the favour and send a Boost back
to Dara
UNLESS they click on Manage and add Dara as a Neighbour OR a Buddy.
This is what it can look like when you click on Manage. Your percentages are likely to be different.
These examples are the different brief notifications you could see when adding a farmer to a List depending on if your List has room to add them or is Full.
You will see a similar Manage Sender Window when you click on Manage in other areas of the game. Not all of them are showing up or are fully enabled yet.
For example, the Manage when seen in the Activity Panel below your Game Screen (yellow Box that shows who has recently helped you) does not show in the Facebook version. It does show up in the Website.
When Manage is not enabled in various features, when you click on it you will see this:
