They will not layer them where more than one item is on a single square. The freestyle hands are the same as they will not layer anything directly on top oif anything else.

The layering the developers will not allow instructions for in the forums and have always said could cause problems with your farms are placing more than 1 item in a single square the size of a pine tree by tricks.

i get that part, but it's a little hypocritical of them to discourage layering/stacking, but create tools that WILL allow overlapping of almost everything, as well as tools that will harvest, plow, and/or plant layered - or 'overlapped' - fields, trees, etc.

not looking to start a war of words, just trying to figure out whether i should un-layer some farms that are currently used ONLY for crop production (haven't had any issues thus far, but the graphics are a little slow when more than one layer on a farm is planted)

Hi Supertrucker,
The more you add on a farm the more chance you have of slowdowns and possibly damaging the farm. The problem is some people carry it on too far and cause problems. Sometimes we can fix the damage, but there are times when we can't fix it. The tools were more for the working of those farms specially when you are hired to work them.

That is why we still discourage the layering, because it can cause problems. The layering was never a designed part of the game, but once it was discovered there really wasn't a way for them to stop it. The tools came later.
