First you need to give your farmer a name.
Then you choose, female or male, then click the green check mark. On the next screen you will find the avatar editor, where you can choose what your avatar will look like. Click on each selection for Skin, Hair, Eyes, Mouth, Nose, Ears, Eyebrows, Clothes, then chose the options you want by clicking on it. The avatar picture to the left will show you what you have picked. Or you can click on “Try a random look” to let the game make a choice for you. When you are done, click the green check mark. The game will refresh the page and the game will load with music playing. The mayor will then take you through the basic steps of farming and what the tools and some icons are for. If you wish to repeat them just click on the Help icon top right of your screen, it looks like a question mark. You will have a few basic things on your farm to start you off: One orange tree, one apple tree, one lemon tree, 5 white fences, a water trough, 1 pig, 1 sheep. 14 fields which are the following>> 2 of which are plowed ready for planting, 2 tomato fields, 2 potato fields, 2 rice fields, ready to harvest. 2 tomato fields, 2 potato fields, 2 rice fields in various stages of growth At the bottom of the screen is the Game bar which has 2 main sections. Your profile picture will show in the neighbours bar and you would also normally see the head of your avatar displayed under the profile picture in the neighbours bar as well as those of any neighbours you will have. Those will be added back once that part of the migration of the game is completed. The Neighbours/Chat section is where you will see the friends you add as neighbours. When you get more than 7 neighbours you can use the arrows to the left to scroll the bar to see more of them. In some cases with browsers and various types of computer mouse you can also click and hold down your left mouse button on those spaces to drag them, or use the mouse wheel to move them left/right. The CHAT button allows you to open and close the Chat box. When someone arrives at your farm it will automatically open in place of where your neighbours are showing. When the Chat box is open, just start typing and then click on SEND to send your message or if you are using a keyboard, you can click the Enter/Return key on it instead of clicking on Send. Anyone online where you are can see what you have sent. The right side of the Game bar is where you have some basic tools. Hover over some of the icons there and it will tell you what it is. The "Walk" icon (green man) is what you click on after you have been using a tool and want to stop using it. You have tools for harvesting and plowing, toolbox (where more tools are and any new tools you buy and add to storage will show), you can access your buddy list, see the trophies you earn, access the Store, your Gift Box, Storage and the MAP. There are more details on all of these items in the other Chapters of the Game Guide. As you harvest crops, harvest or chop trees, harvest flowers or fish those harvests will be sent to your storage for you to use in facilities or just sell at market. You can also move some of those tools to other positions in that area and even use some of the neighbours spaces to put more tools or icons in those areas. The blank space is one of the spaces that can be used. More details about how to do that are in the How to Use Shortcuts post later in the Game Guide. The blank space is where you can place a tool or icon from the toolbox to use it without opening the toolbox. More details about how to do that are in the How to Use Shortcuts post described later in the Game Guide. Congratulations. Now you know the basics, you can play!

You can change your appearance at any time by clicking on your avatar and selecting "Change Appearance" which will appear in a pop-up.
This will launch the edit avatar screen where you can change your appearance. Last edited by Telegraphs; Apr 02 2010 at 10:33 AM. |

Click the tab "My Account" on top of your game screen. This will take you to another screen where you can change the name of your avatar.
Once your name's been changed, the game will automatically update the list of your neighbours and your "buddies" to show your new name. This is also where you can change the gender of your avatar. Last edited by Tiger; Aug 10 2017 at 05:36 PM. |

![]() As of April 2018, as part of Facebook security updates, there is a new requirement that you have to re-authorise the game to access your basic information like name, picture and friends which are essential to the operation of the game. This will happen every 90 days. ***The only information about your friends that we access is the name and picture, and we use that info strictly inside the game, we don't provide or sell that info to any third party.*** It is very easy to do ![]() If you need to do this you will see the following popup when you load the game. ![]() Click the "Continue as xxx" and another popup up will appear. In the next popup check that under "Who can see Farm Town's post on your Timeline?" it shows "Public" or "Friends". If it doesn't, click the drop down arrow and change the setting. Then you need to click OK ![]() That's it, you are done! You will be able to continue playing Farm Town! Last edited by Tiger; Apr 18 2018 at 03:47 PM. |

I did not authorise Farm Town, how can i fix this?
If you did not allow access for your basic information and your friends list as shown in the post above, then you may not be able to load the game or at least participate in all features of Farm Town. The next time you load the game you may be asked again to give those permissions. If this does not happen, go to your Facebook Settings then Apps and Websites. There are 3 tabs
If Farm Town is not there, click on and look under Expired. If you see Farm Town there, click View and Edit and then Renew Access. Last edited by Tiger; Apr 17 2018 at 05:35 PM. |

![]() Why you should Secure your access to your FarmTown account! ![]() ![]() Information from the Slashkey developers 18th October 2022: Most of our time in the past month has been dedicated to comply with new Facebook security requirements, and still, Farmtown was deactivated by Facebook for 1 week. We decided that Farmtown will continue to be accessed on Facebook, however, if Facebook requirements become too demanding in the future, we may have to move Farmtown to our own dedicated website. In this case, the only way to access your current Facebook Farmtown account will be if you have it linked to your email. The next time you load the game, you will see a screen allowing you to link your current Facebook Farmtown account to your email. If you have multiple Facebook Farmtown accounts, you will have to link each one to a different email. If for some reason you lose access to the linked email inbox, please remember to link your Facebook Farmtown account again to another email, otherwise, you will not be able to access your Facebook Farmtown farms on the new Farmtown website. When the new Farmtown website is ready, we will send you an email to the linked email you provided with instructions on how to access your Facebook Farmtown farms in the new Farmtown website. When you have completed the linking of your email to your Facebook Farmtown account, the top section will show the current linked email and an option to change the email. The 'click here' button should only be used if you have lost access to the email address currently linked to your Facebook Farmtown account. The links below will take you to the relevant post for each subject:

![]() How to Secure your Farm Town Account with your current email address: ![]() The icon will disappear when you have secured your Farm own account!! You MUST keep that email address active by using it. If Farm Town has to be moved away from Facebook, the email you used to secure your account will be the one where an email gets sent to with instructions on how to get to the new website, how to create an account there and verify that account, so that you can access your farms again! Emails that are not kept active can be deleted by the host server for lack of use! This is the ONLY reason for supplying your email address. It will NOT be used to contact you for anything else! If you are looking for a new email, it's best to use one that has a good reputation, is long standing and reliable with regular security updates like gmail.com
BEFORE YOU PROCEED
If you have never linked your current email address to your FarmTown Account, you will see this above your game screen and above the Send Gifts page: ![]() To Link your current email address to your FarmTown Account: STEP 1:
STEP 2: You will then see an embedded page notification like this. Click on OK to close that message. STEP 3: ![]() ![]() In the following pictures the Details of the users email address and other information have been altered or removed for privacy reasons. STEP 4: In the yellow box enter your current email address. Check that you have typed the email address correctly before you click on Link to Email to send it! It needs to be CORRECT, no spelling mistakes or other typing issues like extra spaces, extra digits, extra symbols, which are very common and easy mistakes to make! You will need to use your laptop or computer as you need access to use a keyboard which is often NOT possible when using mobiles or tablets to play Farm Town. Farm Town is still recommended to be played on Laptops and Computers. ![]() STEP 5: When your email address is correct, click on Link to Email you will see popup with information like this, read that information and click on the green check mark to close the popup: STEP 6: Check your emails for the email from Farm Town. If it's not in your inbox, remember to check your spam/junk folder of emails in case it went there! STEP 7: Open that email and read the instructions! You need to Verify your Farm Town Account as yours! There is a link to click on link in that email to confirm your email to click on, which will link and verify your FarmTown Account to the email address you gave.
This is what the email can look like: ![]() You do not need to reply to that email. STEP 8: When you click on Confirm Your Email you will then see this, it has another link that will take you to your game, which you can click on if you wish. ![]() STEP 9: To check that your email is linked, reload the game and look in the yellow box above your game screen or the one above the Send Gifts page you will see something similar to this. ![]() If the email address showing is correct, DO NOT click on the blue link!! Your Email is already Linked to your FarmTown Account! If you do, you will have to start over again!! That's it! You are done!!! Just keep your email active so that you do not lose access to it! ----------------------------------------------------------------- IF when you load the game you see this message above your game screen instead, that means you have not completed the registration so your email address is not linked. You need to find that email from Farm Town and click on the link in it as described in STEP 7: ![]() ----------------------------------------------------------------- If your email address is wrong or you lose access to the email address you used you will need to change it to your current email. This must be done before any move away from Facebook to another website!!! Please GO TO THE NEXT POST for more information!!

I can't find the Verification Email:
If after clicking on Link to Email and you have checked your inbox in your emails for the email from Farm Town and it's not there, remember to check your spam/junk folder of emails!!! If it's not there either, please add the following email addresses to your safe senders list in your email just in case your emails are blocking them for some reason. That will also help should you need to contact the support team in the future :
You will then need to try linking again. When you haven't confirmed your email by clicking on the Confirm Your Email link, Or When you clicked on the link the email confirmation didn't go through: When you reload the game you will NOT see your email in the yellow box above your game screen next to a blue click here link. The yellow box will show this instead: ![]() Click on the Email Icon on the left side of your game screen: ![]() You will then see another popup telling you what email address the Confirmation email was sent to. Once you are sure the email address is correct click the Link to Email button and the confirmation email will be sent to your email again. Open the newest email from Farm Town and and click on the Confirm Your Email link. ![]() ![]() You will then see a yellow thanks message with a link to take you to Farm Town. ![]() When your game loads, look in the yellow box at the top of your game screen. you should be seeing your email address and and a blue link. DO NOT click on the blue click here link if your email address is correct!!!!! or you will have to start all over again! IF you don't see your email address in the yellow box, close the game where it is open in your browser for a couple of minutes then reload the game and that yellow box should update. If there is any slowdown in internet you may have to wait longer than a few minutes or reload again a bit later to see it update. Last edited by Tiger; Nov 21 2022 at 04:16 PM. |
