OFFICIAL Facilities and Facility Manager

[Joyinlife]

Now this is separate, but this is just a quick question. I noticed people bundling all their facilities in one corner on top of each other. This is excellent for allowing more space, but will all the facilities still work?

Hi Joyinlife


I copied part of your post from Suggestions to Help and Support to be able to answer you.

Facilities work the same way as you can fill and unload them using the facility manager.

Hi joolz68

Could it be possible that you worked all your friends facilities and now you are trying to rework them before 8 hours have past?

Please load your farm and then click in the yellow tool box.
Then click in the clock icon (Show times)

Click in Gamewide button. See the options for Rework facilities and Rework service facilities.

If those options show a time, then you have to wait that time before being able to work your friends facilities again.

If those option show a green check mark, then you should be able to work them again. If they are still pink, then close everything and restart your computer. Then load facebook and your game again and see if they are showing with a white background.

I have been told that if you move a facility to a layered farm then you may lose it due to a glitch. Is it safe to put them in storage, then put on an unplowed farm and then 3x3 the farm?

Hi rodkay1,

There isn't any kind of layering that is totally risk free. The more that is done, the higher the risk, no matter what the item is.

The problems that layering of crops or any other workable item or placing anything on top of those tend not to be immediately visible until the farm is altered in some way so it's possible to have a problem and not be aware that there is one. It may only take one item too many in a particular spot, row or column to cause a problem with undeletable plots for crops or random existing things on a layered farm to go missing.

We certainly can not be 100% sure that no problem will arise at the time that you do it or that it could happen at a later point, even if we were to go look at a farm to see what was there.

The only intended "overlapping" that was allowed was meant for decoration purposes, to use the freestyle farm designers to partially overlap an item with another one to get them closer to each other for a better looking design and for creating some waterfall features.

The freestyle designers that can allow things like facilities/waters to be placed off the edges of a farm was also not intended.

Overlapping a lot of items in the same area can cause problems with slow loading of that farm for some farmers. That's something else to consider if you want to do that and you notice any slowdown when you work that farm or others work it for you.

If you are going to move facilities to other farms please remember that when you are participating in the Neighborhood Chains Contest you must NOT store to move any of those facilities to other farms until the contest is over or that will cause you to abandon the contest and there's no way to get you back into it.

There are 2 types of warning popups when you store a facility, but you do have to read all the information in them to know if it's only a warning about losing products or if it's going to be the one that warns you that you are about to store a facility that is used in the NCC. If you're in any doubt, don't move any facility that can be used for the NCC.

Do we have a Herbs & Spices facility? I've looked/searched but don't see anything for just herbs and spices. If we don't, could we please have one? For coins? Thank-You!

Hi RubyStella,
I moved your post to the Help & Support thread about Facilities to answer your question.
Yes we have a Spice Factory. It is not for coins, but we do already have one.
