Default What do the Semi-Trailer Truck and Turbo Electric Semi Truck bring?

Q: What do the Semi-Trailer Truck and Turbo Electric Semi Truck bring?



There are 2 Semi Trailer trucks in the Tools section of the Store that will bring you products needed for facilities. The Semi-Trailer truck uses Fuel as well as coins to bring products. 5 fuel per batch.
The Turbo Electric Semi Truck brings products 3 times faster, will still cost coins to order products, but does not use Fuel.

Both of these tools can be placed on the same farm as each other and both of them bring you products. You can only have one of each on a farm. You do not have to buy the Semi-Trailer Truck before you can buy the Turbo Electric Semi Truck.

To access either semi, click on it, and select "Show Truck Details"
Or you can find them in the Facility Manger. They are both classified as Tools, to see them on your farms you need to have Show Tools check marked in your game preferences.

Default What is the Tree Shaker?

Q: What is the Tree Shaker?

A: There are 15 Tree Shakers, they are used to speed up the harvesting of trees. These tools use Fuel and can be used on other farms when hired.






Tree Shaker (3x3) - You MUST use the 3x3 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 9 trees in 1 click.

Tree Shaker (8x4) - You MUST use the 8x4 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 32 trees in 1 click.

Tree Shaker (8x8) - You MUST use the 8x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 64 trees in 1 click.

Tree Shaker (12x8) - You MUST use the 12x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 96 trees in 1 click.

Tree Shaker (12x12) - You MUST use the 12x12 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 144 trees in 1 click.

Tree Shaker (12x16) - You MUST use the 12x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 192 trees in 1 click.

Tree Shaker (16x16) - You MUST use the 16x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 256 trees in 1 click.

Tree Shaker (20x20) - This tree shaker will harvest up to 400 trees.
When selecting the new 20x20 Tree Shaker instead of the Eye in the bottom right you will see the current tool icon.



When you click on that icon, you will see a vertical toolbar with 3 buttons.
The one in the top (Highlight) selects the old method of highlighting each individual item.
The one in the middle selects the New Method (Extent) of highlighting only the perimeter of the area where the tool will operate. Instead of highlighting all the trees, this new method will just highlight a fixed squared section of the farm which works faster and with less manual mistakes. When you use this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.
The bottom button closes the box.



Also, the tool will always operate as if the Eye was closed, meaning, the recently worked items will be hidden once the work on them is completed..


Tree Shaker (24x24) - This tree shaker will harvest up to 576 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Tree Shaker (28x28) - This tree shaker will harvest up to 784 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Tree Shaker 32x32 - This tree shaker will harvest up to 1024 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Tree Shaker 36x36 - This tree shaker will harvest up to 1296 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Tree Shaker 40x40 - This tree shaker will harvest up to 1600 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Tree Shaker 44x44 - This tree shaker will harvest up to 1936 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Tree Shaker 48x48 - This tree shaker will harvest up to 2304 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.


To use tools bigger than the Sythe (single harvest tool) to harvest trees, the tool must be on the farm or in storage.

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Harvest" and then click on the trees.
  • However, it is far better to place all tools into your Item Storage. You will then be able to access all of your tools from the Yellow Tool box, on any of your farms, without having to move the tool from farm to farm. Once they are in Storage, click on the Yellow Toolbox to open it, and then click on the tool you want to use.
  • NOTE: Farm Cash Tools do not count towards your storage capacity, you can store as many of those as you want.

You can also use the Sythe (single harvest tool) to harvest trees one at a time, if you don't own the tools. To select the Sythe, click on the Yellow Toolbox and then click on the tool. When you are done click on the green man to stop using it.

Default What is the Manure Spreader?

Q: What is the Manure Spreader?

A: There are 3 manure spreaders. Red, Orange and Green when owned that can be used to to fertilize your farm or multiple farms.
Red manure Spreader ONLY fertilizes crops, and will produce 2 boxes of harvest instead of 1.

Orange Manure Spreader takes on the job of the red one, and also fertilizes trees and flowers too giving you 2 boxes of harvest instead of 1,

Green Manure Spreader - This takes on the job of both the red and orange manure spreaders AND allows you to fertilize All farms or a selection of farms with a single click.
NOTE: If you already own the Red Manure Spreader and you buy the Orange Manure Spreader, then every time you fertilize a farm using ANY of them, crops, flowers and trees will be fertilized. Fertilized crops, trees, flowers will produce 2 boxes when harvested and chop trees, 2 log piles when chopped.

When you upgrade to the Orange Manure Spreader ONLY the orange one will show up the yellow tool box, as it will do the job of the red one as well. You MUST own the red one in order to get the orange one.
If you then also upgrade to the Green Manure Spreader, then this is the only one that will show up in the yellow toolbox, it will take on the jobs of both the red and orange manure spreaders.

Notice you only need to fertilize a farm once, with any of the Spreaders, it doesn't matter which. The farm will remain fertilized for 72 hours.
How do I collect manure?
You need to have a Pigsty (facility section in the store) and you will need pigs in the pigsty which are a gift only item.
You will also need to own a Manure Spreader before you can harvest the pigsty for manure.
The collection process works the same as if you were harvesting other animal sheds, the difference is that in this case, the manure from the pigs is stored in your Manure Spreader tool.
Each pig produces 1 Manure Unit every 12 hours.
How do I know how many manure units I have stored?
Put the Manure Spreader into your Item Storage.
Open the yellow toolbox and mouse over the manure spreader. It will tell you how many units of manure you have. If the farm you are currently on is already fertilized it will also tell you how long it is fertilized for.
Example:



How do I fertilize my farm?
You need 50 manure units to fertilize a single farm.

To fertilize any farm it's best to store your manure spreader, then you can use it on each farm from your yellow toolbox. NOTE: Farm Cash Tools do not count towards your storage capacity, you can store as many of those as you want.

Open your toolbox and click on the Manure Spreader tool then click on the farm to fertilize it.

Once a farm is fertilized it will remain fertilized for the next 3 days.
All crops still growing (not ready to harvest) will be fertilized. All new crops planted while the farm is still fertilized will also be fertilized.
Once a crop is fertilized, it will produce 2 boxes instead of 1 when harvested, whether the farm is fertilized or not at the time of harvesting. If you hire others to harvest, you will get 2 Large boxes instead of one. Employees will get twice the amount of coins, and 2 boxes as well every time they receive an additional bonus box when harvesting.

When you buy the Manure Spreader tool, it will come with 250 manure units inside for you to start fertilizing right away!

You can fertilize a farm without using the toolbox if your manure spreader is on that farm, you can click on it and then click on Fertiize farm, but this is less efficient and slower to have to move the manure spreader to every farm.

To Fertilize more than one farm with a single click requires also owning the Green Manure spreader.
When using this tool you will see a window titled Select Your Farms which has 2 sections

The Select One Farm section will only let you fertilize on farm at a time.

To switch it to doing more than one farm click on the Select Multiple Farms section so the background turns orange, then add a check mark for each farm you want the manure spreader to fertilize. If you want it to fertilize All Farms you could click on All at the bottom of the window to select all farms and then click the green check mark.




There are also some other ways you can check if your farm is fertilized:
  • By looking at the name of the farm you are on.

    A Brown background behind the name means the farm is NOT fertilized.
    A Green background behind the farm name means the farm IS fertilized.
    A white text for the farm name means the farm is not Irrigated, a blue text for the farm name means the farm is Irrigated.
    You could see any of these versions for the farm names:


  • Go to the farm and open the tool box. Move your mouse over the manure spreader, it will tell you how long the farm is fertilized for and how much manure is stored.

  • Click on your Yellow Tool box to open it, then click on the Show Times icon (looks like a clock) to open it. Look in the Per-Farm section and under Fertilize Farms it will have a green check mark if a farm can be fertilized OR it will tell you how long until you can fertilize each farm.

  • Look at the colors in the green grid top left of your game screen, any farms that are fertilized will be olive green instead of green.

  • Click on Show Names at the top of the green grid and then on "Show Extra Farm Info". The legend top left of that window will show you which farms are Fertilized, Irrigated, Watered and which are Quest farms, Private or Disabled for super neighbour farming actions. If you mouse over each farm it will tell you if there is another land upgrade available for it and what it will cost.



    If you move your mouse over this legend top left of the window it will tell you what the letters and each color represents. F is for Fertilized.

Default What is the Mobile Sprinkler?

Q: What are Mobile Sprinklers for?

A: There are 5 Mobile Sprinklers. Brown, red, orange, green and purple.
Depending on the ones you own, they can be used to water ALL flowers on a farm. They can also irrigate crops, trees, flowers to shorten growth time and extend waste time, all with one click. You can also water or irrigate more thn one farm at a time.

Brown mobile sprinkler - This allows you to water all your flowers on your farm in one click. You earn 3XP when you water your own flowers, but it will cost you 1000 coins. You can use the sprinkler once per day.
When placed in your Item storage you can also use this tool to water another farmers flowers on their farms.

To use it on another farmers farms, go to the farm with flowers that need watering. Open the Yellow Toolbox by clicking on it, then click on the sprinkler and then click on the farm. You earn 1000 coins and 3 XP every time you water another farmers flowers.

When you own the following mobile sprinklers you can NOT use them on your Neighbours farms if you are not their Super Neighbour OR they do NOT own the tools. They must own the tools themselves for you to be able to irrigate for them as a Super Neighbour.

Red Sprinkler - This is used to speed up growth of the crops and flowers by 50%. Please note that while the crops grow in half the time, the end waste time is not effected, meaning if you plant a 4 hour crop, it would be grown in 2 hours, and you'll have 6 hours in which to harvest it, totaling 8 hours, which is what it would be had the crops not been irrigated. You can irrigate a plant more than once, but it's growth speed will only double the first time. You may only irrigate once per day.
Please note: A time that has a decimal point it after it is approximate, the game can not display more than the 1 digit after the decimal point so 3.3 Days is actually 3.333333
Orange Sprinkler - This is used to speed up tree growth by 50%. If you own the orange sprinkler, you only need use this one to irrigate trees, crops and flowers. You can irrigate a plant more than once, but it's growth speed will only double the first time. As with the red sprinkler, speeding up growing time does not effect waste time. You may only irrigate once per day

Green Sprinkler - This tool increases the time to waste period on all crops. For crops that mature in 1 day or less it increases the time to waste period by 24 hours. For crops that take over a day to mature it increases the time to waste period by 48 hours.

Purple Sprinkler - This tool allowes you to irrigate ALL farms or selection of farms in a single click.

Once you own an upgraded sprinkler it will also do the job of the previous ones. Example, if you own the green sprinkler, when you use it it will also apply the jobs of the brown, red and orange sprinklers.

Note: Irrigating crops/trees/flowers will cost you 1000 coins per farm. You will earn 3XP for watering/irrigating the farm that you are on. If you water/irrigate multiple farms at once you will still only earn 3XP for the farm you are on and NOT all the others.

To use the Mobile Sprinkler, the tool must be on the farm or in storage.

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Water Flowers" (brown sprinkler) or "Irrigate" (red, orange, green and purple sprinklers) and then click on the farm.
  • However, it is better to place all tools into your Storage. That way you can access all your tools from the Yellow Tool box, on any of your farms, without having to move the tool from farm to farm. Once they are in Storage, you can click on the Yellow Toolbox to open it, and then click on the tool you want to use.
  • NOTE: Farm Cash Tools do not count towards your storage capacity, you can store as many of those as you want.

To Irrigate or Water more than one farm at a time:
When you first get the Purple Mobile Sprinkler and use the tool you get a window Titled "Select Your Farms" which has 2 sections, it defaults to "Select One Farm" which lets you do one farm at a time. To switch it to doing more than one farm you click on the tool then click on the farm and in the window at the top click on "Select Multiple Farms" so the button turns orange, then add a check mark for each farm you want the tool to work on or if you want it to do all farms select "All" at the bottom of the window and then click the green check mark.


To find out what farms have been watered or irrigated, there are several ways:
  • If you want to know when a specific farm can next be irrigated, go to the farm in question and look at the color of the text in the nameplate. Blue text means that the farm is Irrigated. White text means it is not.

    The background color of nameplate can also be brown (not fertilized) or green (fertilized) to indicate if the farm is fertilized or not when you also own and use the manure spreader.

    These are all the different versions you could see on your own farms or when visiting others:


  • Another way to check for Irrigation is to open the tool box. Move your mouse over the red, orange, green or purple mobile sprinkler and if you need to wait, it will tell you how long that will be.

  • Click on your Yellow Tool box to open it, then click on the Show Times icon (looks like a clock). Look in the Per-Farm section and under "Water Farm Flowers" and "Irrigate Farm Plants" it will have a green check mark if a farm can be watered or irrigated OR it will tell you how long until you can water/irrigate each farm.

  • Click on "Show Names" at the top of the green grid, top left of the game screen, and then click on "Show Extra Farm Info". The legend top left of that window will show you which farms are Fertilized, Irrigated, Watered and which are Quest farms, Private or Disabled for super neighbour farming actions. If you mouse over each farm it will tell you if there is another land upgrade available for it and what it will cost.

    If you hover your mouse over the legend top left of the window it will tell you what the letters and each colour represents. I is for Irrigated, W is for watered.



***IMPORTANT: Only 2 sprinklers will show in the extended toolbar, the brown one for reviving flowers and either the red, orange, green or purple one, you DO NOT lose the other sprinklers, they are still in your storage. ***


Note: Only you will be able to use the mobile sprinklers to irrigate or water your Quest or Private farms.

Super Neighbours (SN's) can not Irrigate Quest farms, anyone visiting can not use the Grey mobile sprinkler to water the flowers.

Default What are the Bulldozers?

Q: What are the Bulldozers?

A: There are 11 bulldozers in total. They can be used to delete items from your farms.

The Bulldozers do not use Fuel.

Super Neighbours with the right permissions will have access to these tools when designing for you as long as you or your super neighbour owns them.

The bulldozers do not delete the animals that you can buy from the Animals section of the store.
The bulldozers do not delete working animals like cows, hens that give you products when harvested.

The bulldozers CAN delete any decorative animal that you can get by earning rewards in the Farm Pass feature and also from buying them in the various other sections of the store as those are all classified as decorations.







Yellow Bulldozer - This is already in your Yellow Toolbox!!!

It allows you to delete any item on the farm, except for working animals that you get products from like cows for milk and the other animals in the Animal section of the store. Be very careful when using this tool.

To use it click on your yellow toolbox to open it, then click on the yellow bulldozer to pick it up.
Every item you click on with the yellow bulldozer will be deleted.
To stop using the bulldozer click on the Green man located near the bottom of your game screen.

Warning - if you want to make sure that you don't delete something by mistake when deleting a lot of items, only show the item you what to delete in your preferences, like crops or trees etc.


The ONLY Warning you will get is when....
  • deleting a single Item with the yellow bulldozer
  • or when deleting a single item with the bigger bulldozers up to size 20x20

    When deleting a single Item with one those bulldozers you will see a confirmation box which you can disable for the rest of the session if you wish.
    If you choose to disable the popup you will not be warned even if the item(s) you delete are of a high coin value.
    Common question asked:
    Q: What is a Session?
    A: When you load the game you start a session, when you reload the game you start a new session.
    To disable the warning for deleting items costing coins, ADD a check mark to the box before you click on either the green check mark to delete or the red X.
    Clicking the green check mark will then delete the item shown.
    Clicking on the red X will cancel deleting the item shown.



The White Bulldozer (2x2) - This will allow you to delete 4 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers in a 2x2 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


The Dark Blue Bulldozer (3x3) - allows you to delete 9 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers in a 3x3 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


The Orange Bulldozer (4x4) - allows you to delete 16 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers a 4x4 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


The Green Bulldozer (5x5) - allows you to delete 25 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers in a 5x5 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


The Purple Bulldozer (6x6) - allows you to delete 36 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers in a in a 6x6 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


The Brown Bulldozer (8x8) - allows you to delete 64 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers in a 8x8 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


The Pink Bulldozer (12x12) - allows you to delete 144 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers in a 12x12 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


The Red Bulldozer (16x16) - allows you to delete 256 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers in a 16x16 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


The Light Blue Bulldozer (20x20) - allows you to delete 400 plowed/ harvested/wasted fields OR trees OR flowers in a 20x20 area. Everything else, including waters, will be deleted one at a time.


*** Please be careful when deleting things. The bulldozers will delete planted fields IF you click on them. If you click on the harvested/wasted or plowed fields, then only those of that type will be deleted and crops will be left alone. We advise you to hide in your preferences the things you do not wish to be deleted by accident. You also have the option of using the single yellow bulldozer for single items ***



Bulldozer Ex (10x10) - Delete up to 1600 items at once!!

UPDATE May17th,2024 - two bigger clearing sizes have been added to this EX bulldozer, (9x9 clears up to 1296 and and 10x10 clears up to 1600)
This tool is capable of deleting a considerable amount of items!

There are NO warning popups about what you are about to delete when you use it!

Be sure about what you are deleting before you proceed to delete them!

For safety this tool will NOT delete facilities or any Farm Cash Items.


The various Clearing Options are:
  • Fields Only (works on overlapped fields and will delete ALL types of fields including plowed, harvested, growing crops, ready to harvest crops and wasted crops)
    Unlike the other Bulldozers that are not the EX version they will not delete only one type of field at a time, if you have plowed fields, growing or ready to harvest fields, wasted crops all in the same area they will all be deleted!

  • Trees Only will delete ALL types of trees including
    seasonal and decorative trees!!!
    If you need to keep any trees that can only be gifted, seasonal trees, farm pass trees, decorative trees do not use this bulldozer on them!!

  • Flowers Only will delete ALL flowers.
    If you need to keep any Glad flowers that can only be gifted, decorative flowers do not use this bulldozer on them!!

  • Plants and Fields (ALL fields and crops and also includes trees and flowers)

  • Buildings and Decorations This includes coin waters and decorative animals that are not bought from the animal section of the store. It will NOT delete any Farm Cash waters, working animals, animals from the Animal section of the store, facilities, ships, trains, ground covers.

  • All of the above - will delete everything except any Farm Cash Items, working animals, animals from the Animal section of the store, facilities, ships, trains, ground covers.

  • Examples:

    1x1 will clear one single plowed field or 16 trees or flowers in a squared area

    10x0 will clear 100 single plowed fields, up to 1600 trees or flowers within the yellow squared area and when using extent mode up to 1600 plowed/harvested, planted overlapped plots within the yellow squared area.

The EX Bulldozer works similar to the other Extent Mode tools but with more options.
The squared yellow area gives you much more flexibility on what area to clear and it can also delete just a few items close to the top farm edges by having the yellow selection area go over the edges.

You also can select the size of the tool and what to delete before you start using it.


To use this tool on any of your farms, place it into Item storage.
  1. Open your toolbox and click on the Ex bulldozer, you will then see the following options.




  2. At the top of the clearing mode window, select the size of the tool you want. There is a drop down arrow which will let you change the tool size from 1x1 up to 10x10. Click on the size you want and it will turn blue.


  3. Then click on the type of items you want to delete.

    • Fields Only
    • Trees Only
    • Flowers Only
    • Plants and Fields
    • Buildings and Decorations
    • All of the Above

  4. Move the yellow square to where you want to delete and click to delete.

  5. To stop using the EX Bulldozer, click on the green man.


Selecting Highlight Mode or Extent Mode:

When using an EX Tool instead of the Eye in the bottom right of the game screen you will see the picture of the tool you have clicked on to use.

When you click on that icon, you will see a vertical toolbar with 3 buttons.


  • Clicking on the top icon (Highlight) selects the old method of highlighting each individual item. NOTE: Using the Ex tools in Highlight mode will make the tool work like the single layer tools.

  • Clicking on the middle icon selects the New Method (Extent) of highlighting only the perimeter of the area where the tool will operate. Instead of highlighting all the fields etc, this new method will just highlight a fixed squared section of the farm which works faster and with less manual mistakes. When you use this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.

  • Clicking on the bottom icon (white X) closes those the box with options.



To use any of the bigger Bulldozers that you buy, the tool must be on the farm or in storage.

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Delete Items" and then click on the item.

  • However, it is better to place all tools into your Storage so that the game cans see which ones you own when you want o buy a bigger one and also so that you can use it on any of your farms. That way you can access all your tools from the Yellow Tool box, on any of your farms, without having to move the tool from farm to farm.

    Once they are in Storage, you can click on the Yellow Toolbox to open it, and then click on the tool you want to use. Click the Green man when you want to stop using the tool.

  • NOTE: Farm Cash Tools do not count towards your storage capacity, you can store as many of those as you want.

Default What is the Flower Harvester?

Q: What is the Flower Harvester?

A: There are 15 flower harvesters.
They make it much easier to harvest the flowers than 1 at a time.
These tools use Fuel and can be used on other farms and when hired as long as you have placed them into your Item Storage.




Flower Harvester (3X3) - You MUST use the 3x3 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 9 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (8X4) - You MUST use the 8x4 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 32 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (8X8) - You MUST use the 8x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 64 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (12X8) - You MUST use the 12x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 96 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (12X12) - You MUST use the 12x12 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 144 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (16X12) - You MUST use the 12x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 192 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (16X16) - You MUST use the 16x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 256 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (20x20) - This Flower Harvester will harvest up to 400 flowers.
When selecting the new 20x20 Flower Harvester instead of the Eye in the bottom right you will see the current tool icon >>



When you click on that icon, you will see a vertical toolbar with 3 buttons.
The one in the top (Highlight) selects the old method of highlighting each individual item.
The one in the middle selects the New Method (Extent) of highlighting only the perimeter of the area where the tool will operate. Instead of highlighting all the flowers, this new method will just highlight a fixed squared section of the farm which works faster and with less manual mistakes. When you use this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.
The bottom button closes the box.



Also, the tool will always operate as if the Eye was closed, meaning, the recently worked items will be hidden once the work on them is completed..

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Harvest Flowers" and then click on the item.
  • However, it is better to place all tools into your Storage. That way you can access all your tools from the Yellow Tool box, on any of your farms, without having to move the tool from farm to farm. Once they are in Storage, you can click on the Yellow Toolbox to open it, and then click on the tool you want to use.
  • NOTE: Farm Cash Tools do not count towards your storage capacity, you can store as many of those as you want.

You can also use the Sythe (single harvest tool) to harvest flowers one at a time, if you don't own the tools. To select the Sythe, click on the Yellow Toolbox and select the tool.

Default What is the Log Truck with Chainsaw?

Q: What is the Log Truck with Chainsaw?

A: There are 15 Log Truck w/Chainsaws. They make it much easier to chop the trees than 1 at a time. These tools use Fuel and can be used on other farms when hired.





Log truck with Chainsaw (3x3) - You MUST use the 3x3 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 9 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (8x4) - You MUST use the 8x4 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 32 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (8x8) - You MUST use the 8x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 64 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (12x8) - You MUST use the 12x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 96 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (12x12) - You MUST use the 12x12 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 144 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (12x16) - You MUST use the 12x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 192 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (16x16) - You MUST use the 16x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 256 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (20x20) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 400 trees and uses a new method of chopping.
When selecting the new 20x20 Log Truck w/Chainsaw instead of the Eye in the bottom right you will see the current tool icon >>



When you click on that icon, you will see a vertical toolbar with 3 buttons.
The one in the top (Highlight) selects the old method of highlighting each individual item.
The one in the middle selects the New Method (Extent) of highlighting only the perimeter of the area where the tool will operate. Instead of highlighting all the trees, this new method will just highlight a fixed squared section of the farm which works faster and with less manual mistakes. When you use this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.
The bottom button closes the box.



Also, the tool will always operate as if the Eye was closed, meaning, the recently worked items will be hidden once the work on them is completed..

Default What is the Forklift?

Q: What is the Forklift?

A:There are 2 Forklifts, Green and Purple, They can be kept either in storage, or on any farm, it doesn't matter where. These tools Store All products in a Facility. These tools use Fuel to Store.





The Green Forklift - Allows you to store all products in a single facility with a single click. This does NOT include service facilities. To do this click on the Facility Manager in the Yellow Toolbox:




Then you are able to use the "Store All" button on each facility :-





You are also able to use the "Store All" inside each facility :-


The Purple Forklift - Allows you to store ALL products in ALL facilities in a single click. This does NOT include service facilities. As above, open the facility manager, then use the "Store All" button at the top :-


NOTE: Although you do not need to put these tools into Storage it is better if you do. That way the game will recognise what tools you already own should there be another upgraded tool released. Farm Cash Tools do not count towards your storage capacity, you can store as many of those as you want.

Default What is the Ordering Station w/Trailer?

Q: What is the Ordering Station w/Trailer?



The Ordering Station w/Trailer is used in conjunction with the Semi-Trailer Truck, it can be on any farm or in storage, it doesn't matter.

This enables the 'All' button when ordering products from the Truck.

Also, with the extra trailer capacity products are delivered twice as fast, 30 minutes instead of 1 hour, it's like duplicating the output of each truck assuming you have enough fuel.

Note that if you have multiple trucks, you only need to buy one ordering Station w/ Trailer, and all your trucks will benefit. The trucks MUST be on separate farms, just like with any other facility.

Q. What is the Turbo Ordering Station?


This tool will allow you to order products from ALL the semi trailers on ALL of your farms.
