Default Chapter 16: Land upgrades



Should you need to get back to this post to look for other information:
Each post has a Table of Contents link bottom right of the post, which when you click, will bring you right back here.


How to easily tell which version of the game you are using when viewing
either the WEB Guide or the regular Game Guide


Look above your game screen Top Left.

Seeing this Logo means you are playing the Website Version of Farm Town.



Seeing the Pig means you are playing the Facebook Version of Farm Town.

Default How do I expand my farm?

How to Upgrade a Farm:

If you only have one farm:
  1. Click on the MAP icon bottom left of your game screen.

  2. Then click on the "Realtor Office", indicated in the picture below with a red arrow.


  3. You will then see the the available upgrades and their costs.



If you have more than one farm: To upgrade ANY farm you must:
  1. Go to the farm you want to upgrade.

  2. THEN from that farm, go straight to the Realtor Office via the MAP icon.

  3. You will then see the the available upgrades for the farm you just came from, and their costs.
When you have more than one farm, you will also be able to see the Farm Selector (green grid top left of your game screen) titled "SHOW NAMES". Each rectangle, below it, represents one of your farms, hovering over each of those rectangles will show you what size the farms are currently at. You can also click on "SHOW NAMES" and then click on "Show Extra Farm Info" to get the information.


Example of the Land Upgrades at the Realtor Office:




You must make your additions in land size order.This means to buy the Upgrade to 16x16, you must have the required level and have already bought the 14x14 Upgrade.

IMPORTANT! - When you click the "Buy" button you will see a confirmation message telling you the name of the farm (the name of the farm is in brackets in the message) you are upgrading and to what size. Check this is correct! It the ONLY time you can cancel the purchase!!

This is an example of the message:
As you can see in the example it is showing (Tiger's Farm 1) to 14x14.

Click the green check mark to continue or the red X to cancel.

Once purchased, you will see another message confirming what you have just bought and will be offered a chance to post the purchase to Facebook. Example:
When you have either posted to Facebook or clicked the red X not to post to Facebook, that land upgrade disappears from the list of available upgrades and that farm will be expanded.
You will then be shown the next available upgrades for that farm and you can purchase another one if you wish. Whatever size upgrade you have to buy next, is always the first in the list.

Once all the available land has been purchased, the purchase page is empty.

As of MAY 2020 you no longer need to reload the game to buy another expansion or to see the upgraded farm you can just go straight to that farm.



Farm 1 expansions and costs:
  • Upgrade: 14x14 : Requires level 15 and 20,000 coins
  • Upgrade: 16x16 : Requires level 17 and 25,000 coins
  • Upgrade: 18x18 : Requires level 19 and 30,000 coins
  • Upgrade: 20x20 : Requires level 21 and 35,000 coins
  • Upgrade: 22x22 : Requires level 23 and 40,000 coins
  • Upgrade: 24x24 : Requires level 25 and 80,000 coins
  • Upgrade: 26x26 : 10,000,000,000 coins OR 30 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 28x28 : 5,000,000,000 coins OR 25 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 30x30 : 4,000,000,000 coins OR 30 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 32x32 : 4,000,000,000 coins OR 30 Farm Cash

  • Upgrade: 36x36 : 30,000,000,000 coins OR 40 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 38x38 : 20,000,000,000 coins OR 30 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 40x40 : 20,000,000,000 coins OR 30 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 42x42 : 20,000,000,000 coins OR 30 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 44x44 : 25,000,000,000 coins OR 30 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 46x46 : 30,000,000,000 coins OR 30 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 48x48 : 40,000,000,000 coins OR 40 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 50x50 : 50,000,000,000 coins OR 40 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 52x52 : 60,000,000,000 coins OR 50 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 54x54 : 70,000,000,000 coins OR 50 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 56x56 : 85,000,000,000 coins OR 50 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 58x58 : 100,000,000,000 coins OR 60 Farm Cash
  • Upgrade: 60x60 : 120,000,000,000 coins OR 60 Farm Cash



For the FIRST purchase of Farm 2:
  1. Go to the Realtors via the MAP.
  2. If you have not fully upgraded Farm 1, the FIRST purchase of Farm 2 (12x12) will show below all the upgrades for Farm 1.
  3. Use the scroll bar to the right to scroll the list of upgrades down.
    The first purchase for your second farm costs 3,000,000c OR 120 Farm Cash.
  4. Remember to check the message that shows BEFORE you click the green check mark to confirm, so you are sure you are buying the right expansion for the right farm!

Default I can not buy the 24x24 upgrade, why?

You must make your additions in the order. To buy the expansion for 16x16, you must have the required level and have already bought the 14x14 level .

Once purchased, it disappears from the list of available upgrades. Whatever you buy is always the first in the list.

Once all the available land is purchased, the purchase page is empty.

Default How to buy my second farm?

The same process for purchasing the second farm can be seen in purchasing upgrades for farm one. You need to be at level 44 as well as 3,000,000c for the first purchase, note that is can also be paid in FarmCash.



The extensions of the second farm work such as the first farm. The only differences are the price of expansions and the fact that it can be paid in FarmCash.
  • First purchase of Farm 2 size 12x12: Level 44 and costs 3,000,000 OR 120 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 14x14 : Level 47 and 100,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 16x16 : Level 50 and costs 200,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 18x18 : Level 53 and costs 300,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 20x20 : Level 56 and costs 400,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 22x22 : Level 58 and costs 500,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 24x24 : Level 60 and costs 600,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 26x26 : costs 10,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 28x28 : costs 5,000,000,000 OR 25 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 30x30 : costs 4,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 32x32 : costs 4,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 34x34 : costs 5,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 36x36 : costs 30,000,000,000 OR 40 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 38x38 : costs 20,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 40x40 : costs 20,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 42x42 : costs 20,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 44x44 : costs 25,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 46x46 : costs 30,000,000,000 OR 30 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 48x48 : costs 40,000,000,000 OR 40 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 50x50 : costs 50,000,000,000 OR 40 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 52x52 : costs 60,000,000,000 OR 50 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 54x54 : costs 70,000,000,000 OR 50 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 56x56 : costs 85,000,000,000 OR 50 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 58x58 : 100,000,000,000 coins OR 60 Farm Cash (whatever your level)
  • Upgrade: 60x60 : 120,000,000,000 coins OR 60 Farm Cash (whatever your level)


Once you have purchased the second farm a Farm Selector (green grid) will appear top left of your game screen, between your coin amount and the in game message envelope. When you mouse over the grid it will expand and you will see it has SHOW NAMES above the grid.

This grid allows you to navigate between the 2 farms and provides you with some extra information about your farms, like the size of your farms and you can also use it to see the cost of the next size expansion for each farm.

As you buy more farms the another box will be added to the grid, for each of your farms. This this an example of the grid and what it lokks like when you mouse over the grid. The location of where the grid appears on your game screen is indicated in the example below with an arrow and also shows you what it can look like when you mouse over the grid. This farmer has 14 farms:
How to use the SHOW NAMES grid is explained in detail, later in this Chapter in post #8 How Do i Navigate from farm to farm?

Default I would like to reduce the size of my farm, is it possible?

No.

Once your farm is expanded, it is impossible to go back and bring it to a smaller size.

Similarly, once you've bought your second farm, you can not sell it.

Default How do i purchase my 3rd farm

As usual, you need to go to the realtor office which is found under the map icon.

The XP values for each purchase:
  • FarmCash purchases give you +601 XP for each upgrade (apart from first purchase which gives you 1000 XP). If you purchase all the upgrades with FarmCash you can earn +4606 XP
  • Purchases with coins give you +1000 XP for each upgrade possible for the third farm. As this gives you +1000 XP for each upgrade, when you purchase all the upgrades with coins you would earn 7000 XP.

  • First purchase of Farm 3 : 30 Neighbours and 1,000,000c OR 40 Farm Cash (whatever your level)

Default How Do i Navigate from farm to farm

You can navigate easily with the Farm Selector grid tool seen at the top left of your game screen.

It is located between your coins amount and message envelope.

You will see this grid when you have at least 4 farms.

If you mouse over the grid it will expand and you will then see SHOW NAMES at the top of the grid.

This example shows 32 farms.




Underneath "SHOW NAMES" each of the rectangles represents one of your farms. The top row left to right are farms 1 to 4, the second row underneath are farms 5 to 8 and so on.

If you hover over that grid it will expand so you can see it easier.




The yellow rectangle represents the farm you are currently on. If you hover over each of the rectangles it will show you the name of each farm, the size it is and if it is Fertilised, Watered or Irrigated. If you click on one of the rectangles it will take you to that farm.

Clicking on "SHOW NAMES" will open a new window showing you all your farms. If you click on the name of a farm it will take you to that farm.



Show Extra Farm Info when clicked on will show you which farms are Fertilised, 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 mouseover that legend top left of the window it will tell you what the letters and each colour represents.

This section can also be used to quickly see what the cost of the next expansion of a farm. Mouse over the name of the farm and you will see the Next Expansion Price. In this example the farm is currently size 34x34 and the next expansion for it will cost 30 billion coins or 40 FarmCash to expand to 36x36, which is the next size up for that farm:
When there are no further upgrades available like in the example below, you will see No more expansions available at the moment. This is an example of size 54x54 which is the largest size at this time.

Show Facility Info when clicked on will show you how many of each type of facility you have.

The legend at the top left of the window represents the different types of facilities.
If you mouseover each of the options it will tell you what the colours and letters represent and how many of those types of facilites you own.

In this section, each box in the window represents one of your farms.
When you mouseover them you will see the Facility Capacity Used out of 100% for that farm.
In the example below you can see that the capacity is very high so that farm is near it's limit for the amount of facilites that can be on that farm:

NOTE: Facility capacity also includes the amount of working locomotives and long cars on the farm as part of the Facility Capacity.


"Show Work Info" when clicked on will show you where you have work ready to be done on your farms. This is an example of what you could see..




When you mouseover the legend top left of the window it will tell you what the letters and each colour represents.


Show Product Names - Located in the top left, below the colored legend, it will show the most common product present on each farm. Plow Fields, Harvested Fields and Gone to Waste Fields will never be shown.
When you mouse over each farm it will show a tooltip with the 10 most common products present on that farm.
In this example there far more than 10 different items ready to work so it can't list all of them.


To the right of Show Product Names is a new dropdown menu that will allow you to see the numbers of workable items that will become ready in different timeframes in the future. The default behavior is to see what is ready to work NOW (Ready now), at the current time. The dropdowns will allow you to choose different time intervals, like ready within 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours etc, and in the specific case of the crops, you will also be able to see how many of the crops will become wasted within 2 hours, 4 hours, etc.


Some of this info can be seen in the Farm Stats screen, but for some this method may be faster.
There are also differences with the time intervals between this method and the time intervals in Farm Stats.
In the Farm Stats screen the intervals do not overlap, meaning they are 1-2 hours, 2-3 hours, 3-4 hours, etc.
In the Show Work Info ALL of them overlap, one time interval is included in the next time interval, which can provide some speed advantages on some scenarios.

This dropdown is not visible on the first 2 job types, Fields to Plow and Seeds to Plant.


Show Quantities top left of this window will return you to the previous window where you were showing what work was ready on your farms.


Show Names will return you back to the window displaying all your farms names.


Show User Info when clicked on will show you with a blue circle on the farm name, which farms your workers are on.

The three blue circles at the top right show you if they are "Working, Connected", "Working, Disconnected" or are "Idle, Connected"



When you visit another farmers farm and they own more than one farm, you will also see this grid. When visiting or working for a farmer, the grid changes to represent the farms of the farm owner instead of your own. To return to your own farms after going to someone else farm a Home icon will show bottom right of your game screen that you can click on to go back to your own farm(s).

Default Can I Rearrange my Farm Order?

Can i rearrange my farm order?

Yes, when you have more than one farm you can do this from the Farm Selector Manager in the Tool Box.


Click on the Tool Box to open it.

In the 2nd column from the left side, towards the top, is the Farm Selector Manager.

Click on it and a window with all your farms listed will open. The top row from left to right are farms 1 to 4. The next row farms 5 to 8 and so on.



There is an arrow to the right of every farm name. Click on it and it will show you a scroll-able list of all your farms. To change a farm to another position you click the arrow next to the farm you want to move, then scroll through the list and click on the name of the farm you want to swap it with. When you have made your selection and clicked the green check mark to save, the farms will switch places. The green shading on a farm name, is the farm you are currently on.

NOTE: You are just changing the order of the display of the farms. So for example if you switch farm 1 with farm 4, farm 1 in it's farm link it will remain as farm one, it's just changed positions with farm 4.


How do i put my farms back into their original order?
If at any point you wish to change them all back to their original positions you just click the Reset button at the bottom of the window and ALL the farms will go back into their original order. Click the green check mark to save your changes or click the red x to cancel.



Copy Link - IS NOT AVAILABLE TO USE YET!
The copy link button when enabled will allow you to copy the link to a specific farm. You may need this if you want to send your link to a friend or if you need help on the forum. You do this as follows ...
  • Click Copy Link. A brown chain link will appear.
  • Click on the name of the farm you want someone to go to.
  • That's it you can close the box.
  • Then BEFORE you copy anything else, all you do then is go to wherever you want to put the link and "paste" the link into any post or message. Pasting is done by either right clicking your mouse and choosing "Paste" from the menu, or use "CTRL" + " V" on your keyboard.


    When you only have one farm or are not able to load the game, there are alternative ways to get your farm link. You can also add your farm link to your Forum signature if are a member of the forum. Instructions for those are posted in the following link:
    http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=645850
