Default How do I get Items in and out of Item Storage?

How do I get Items in and out of Item Storage?

There are several ways to get a single Item OR multiple Items in and out of your Item storage. Generally you have to do them one at a time. Some items you can do in bulk depending on the tools you own:


To store a Single Item or just a few of them:
Click on the item you want to send to Item Storage, then in the menu click on "Add To Storage". (remember, to add animals to Item storage you must own the second farm) Examples:



If you change your mind about storing an item and there is no Close Menu option, you can still either use the Esc key on your keyboard OR click on the green man in your game bar to close the menu.
When you are first starting out and don't have many Items in Item storage there is a warning popup that asks you to confirm what you are about to do. This will be automatically disabled for experienced users (those who already have lot of things in their Item Storage).


To store larger amounts, without having to use the Add to Storage in the menu:
Click on the "Add to Item Storage" Tool located in the yellow Toolbox, then click the item you want to store. Click on the green man to stop using the tool.

To store Items in Bulk, sending them to Item storage:
This can be done when you own the Tower Crane. When you click on the tool then click on an Item you will see a confirmation window and some options for what and how many you can store. This does not work with Farm Cash Items or facilities.


To move multiple Animals from your farm and into their buildings on that farm:
Click on the "Add to Animal Building" Tool located in the yellow Toolbox, then click the animals you want to store. Click on the green man to stop using the tool. There must be enough room in the animal building to house the animals. Maximum of 250 of each type for regular animal sheds, 500 of each type for super sheds.

To move multiple animals, in bulk, from the farm into their buildings on the farm:
You can do this when you own the Herding Robot. As long as there is room in the animal buildings for them, it will store as many as will fit.

Moving multiple Animals from Item Storage to their buildings on the farm:
You need to have enough space in the animal sheds on your farm to put them in.
  • Go to a farm that has animal sheds with space for animals.
  • Open your Item storage, and change the filter to "Animals"
  • Hover over the box with the animal in it that you want to store into the shed and you will see "Move".
  • Click "Move" and the animals will go into the appropriate shed. IF you have a lot of animals, it will store as many animals as you have room for in the shed.


To get an Item out of storage:
First you must have at least that category showing in your games preferences (eg Show Buildings) AND you must have a clear spot on your farm where nothing else is occupying that space, preferably slightly bigger than the item you are trying to place. If you can't remember what is on the farm then you need to add a check mark to all the "Show...." options in the top section of preferences so you can see where there is space to put it.



Find the Item in your Item storage then hover over the box of the Item and you will see Use, click Use to pick up the item.




When there is no room for the item to be placed the bottom of the item will be red , when the item can be placed the bottom of the item is green. Example: the barn on the left can not be placed, the barn on the right can be placed.



When you have more than one of the item, it will continue to let you place them one at a time until you either run out of them to use or you click the green man to stop placing them.


For trees and flowers it is possible to plant those, from storage, in bulk in various different patterns when you own at least one of the Multiplanters.
