Default Item Storage Capacity and Filters

Item Storage Filters:

This is an example of what you could see in Item Storage:



The drop down arrow on All lets you filter your storage to a specific category. To change what you are viewing, click on the little arrow, scroll down the menu and click on the option you want.

Main Categories are:
All, Animals, Buildings, Facilities, Farm Decor, Fences, Flags, Flowers, Fun, Furniture, Motion, Other, Paths/Ground, People, Ponds, Ships, Tools, Trains, Trees, Winter.
Seasonal Categories are:
Easter, Farm Pass, Fathers Day, Halloween, Holidays, Memorial Day, Mothers Day, Saint Patricks Day, Thanks giving, Valentines Day.

The Search Icon will let you search your storage for a particular item. If you are not sure what category your item would be in make sure you have the drop down filter shown above, set to All.

To use Search, click on the icon and a box will appear that you can type in. Start typing the name of the item you are looking for. As you type, anything in your storage meeting that criteria will come into view. The arrows let you scroll up and down through the options if there are many items that include the word you typed. The red X closes the search box.



The A-Z Filter will let you sort your Storage by
  • Alphabetically
    Stored Amount


Item Storage Capacity:
You start of with an Item Storage Capacity of 100 items.

The total Capacity and Usage is displayed in the top left of the storage screen (remember this is for items only) The following example shows a storage capacity of 14120 and 1391 spaces used.



The green question mark to the left of those can be clicked on to show you
information about how the capacity is used.
  • Each item uses one space, including Seasonal Items.

    The exceptions to the above rule are:
  • When it's a gift item like a Cork Oak Tree from the gift page, you can store 4 per space
    (Store bought trees like a Pine tree will use one per space.)
  • You can store an unlimited amount of Animals in the Animal category, like collie dog, hens, geese, cows etc.
  • You can store an unlimited amount of Farm Cash Items.

It is possible to increase the Item Capacity by increasing the amount of neighbours you have. The amount of Neighbours you can have can vary due to lengths of farmers game IDs. You should be able to have a minimum of 117 Neighbours and usually far more than that when Neighbours IDs also contain shorter IDs.
Your Neighbour Capacity is in your Farmers Lists, top left of the My Neighbours Section.
Example:

Reaching an exact 100% is likely to be impossible for most due to the varying length of IDs.
When you can't add a farmer as a Neighbour due to the ID being too long or that the remaining capacity is not enough to add one more you will see a message that says "Your Neighbour List is Full please delete some Neighbours before adding new ones."
This may be due to the remaining capacity is either not enough to add a short ID or that the farmer ID you are trying to add is longer than the amount of capacity left.


You start with a Capacity of 100.
Each neighbour increases your capacity by 15.
Having 10 neighbours, for example, will create an additional 150 spaces in your storage (10 x 15 = 150).

Examples:
  • 0 neighbours - Your Capacity is 100.
  • 1 neighbour - Your Capacity is 100 plus 15 giving you a Total Capacity of 115.
  • 2 neighbours - Your Capacity is 100 plus 30 giving you a Total Capacity of 130.
  • 5 neighbours - Your Capacity is 100 plus 75 giving you a Total Capacity of 175.
  • 10 neighbours - Your Capacity is 100 plus 150 giving you a Total Capacity of 250.
  • 30 neighbours - Your Capacity is 100 plus 450 giving you a Total Capacity of 550.
... and so forth.


You can increase your ITEM storage further by purchasing the Super storage sheds. You can find them in the "Tools" section of the store. Once bought place them in your storage to update your Item storage capacity.

The Red super storage shed doubles your item storage capacity.
The Orange super storage shed makes your item storage 4 times as big
The Green super storage shed makes your item storage 6 times as big.
The Purple super storage shed makes your item storage 8 times as big.


Note: You must first purchase the Red super storage before you can by the Orange super storage and so on.

To get the maximum Item Capacity possible, start by getting as many neighbours as you can and then if that is not enough for your needs, also get the storage sheds.
