This is where anything harvested, chopped, fished from farms, or stored from facilites goes. It is also where you can store items you are not using, like decorations.

The storing of your crops etc and items generated from facilities such as the dairy processing plant production is automatic. When you use the "harvest", "axe" or "fishing rod" tools or click the "Store" button in your facilities, all harvests and products are sent to your "Harvest/Product" storage.

When there is a number in red on the storage icon it's how many of a harvested item you have in storage. When you have more than 99 in it the red number changes to a + sign. This has nothing to do with the amount of items you have in Item storage.

For the items you want to put aside, just click on the object (a tree, for example) and select "Add to storage". It is then stored in the "Items" section.

To access your storage box you need to click on the icon, shown above, which is located at the bottom right of the your game screen.

A window will open and has 2 sections:

The "Harvests & Products" section, which corresponds to the harvests from your farm (crops, trees, flowers, fish, eggs, wool, products stored from facilities)

The "Items" section, which is where your items such as buildings will go if you click on them and choose the "Add to storage" option.

Everything except for ground covers can go into storage at this point. With ground covers you just buy another one to replace the on you have. They all cost 100 coins except for the Grass with Guidelines (first purchase 35FC, 100 coins thereafter) and are located at the bottom of the Paths/Ground section of the store.

NOTE: To add an animal to Item storage you must own more than one farm. This will allow you to move animals from farm to farm.

There are several ways to place an items into your Item storage...


For storing single items or just a few items....
Click on the item/animal and choose "Add To Storage", on the menu.



For storing larger amounts....

Click on the "Add to Item Storage" Tool located in the Extended Toolbox, then click the item you want to store. Click on the green man to stop using the tool.

For moving items in bulk to storage you can purchase the Tower Crane. This does not work with farmcash items or facilities.



Moving multiple Animals from farm to their buildings....

Click on the "Add to Animal Building" Tool located in the Extended Toolbox, then click the animals you want to store. Click on the green man to stop using the tool. There must be enough room in the animal building to house the animals. Maximum of 250 of each type for regular animal sheds, 500 of each type for super sheds.

For moving animals in bulk from the farm to their buildings you can purchase the Herding Robot.

Moving multiple Animals from Item Storage to their buildings....
You need to have enough space in the animal sheds on your farm to put them in.

• Go to a farm that has animal sheds with space for animals.
• Open your Item storage to "Animals"
• Hover over the box with the animal in it that you want to store into the shed and you will see "Move".
• Click "Move" and the animals will go into the appropriate shed. IF you have a lot of animals, it will store as many animals as you have room for in the shed.

Your warehouse has the capacity to hold 100 items. It is possible to increase the capacity via the amount of neighbours you have.

The mathematical formula for increasing capacity by neighbours is: each neighbour increases your capacity by 15. If you have 10 neighbours, these will create an additional 150 spaces in your storage.

• 0 neighbours total the 100 given for free which leaves a total capacity of 100.
• 1 neighbour totals the 100 given for free and 15 additional which leaves a total capacity of 115.
• 2 neighbours total the 100 given for free and 30 additional which leaves a total capacity of 130.
• 5 neighbours total the 100 given for free and 75 additional which leaves a total capacity of 175.
• 10 neighbours total the 100 given for free and 150 additional which leaves a total capacity of 250.
• 30 neighbours total the 100 given for free and 450 additional which leaves a total capacity of 550.

... and so forth.

The total capacity and usage is displayed in the top left of the storage screen (remember this is for items only) The following example shows a storage capacity of 14120 and 1391 items stored (usage).



NOTE: On each available space, you can store one non-giftable item or 4 giftable items. Example : If your Item Storage capacity is 20, you can store 20 Lemon Trees (non giftable item) or 20 x 4 = 80 Rubber Trees (giftable item).

You can increase your ITEM storage further by purchasing the Super storage sheds. You can find them in the "Tools" section of the store. Once bought place them in your storage to update your Item storage capacity.

The Red super storage shed doubles your item storage capacity.
The Orange super storage shed makes your item storage 4 times as big
The Green super storage shed makes your item storage 6 times as big.
The Purple super storage shed makes your item storage 8 times as big.


Note: You must first purchase the Red super storage before you can by the Orange super storage and so on.

Farm Cash Items do not count towards your Item storage. You may store as many of those as you wish.

When you want to sell your harvests/products/ gifts or items that are in your storage or gift box, you go to Market to sell them.

Click on the Map Icon and go to the Trade Marketplace (Sell and Trade). You can sell at the Job Marketplace (Work and Hire) but you it would be better to go to the sellers market so no-one tries to hire you.

You will then see a pop-up. Click on "I want to sell my harvests or gifts" then click on "OK. Show me your prices". The latter is a timed pop-up, if you do not click it your storage will then open automatically.



If by mistake you clicked the wrong option or you decided to do something else in the market and then wanted to sell your goods you can simply click on Tom and then you will see the message above again. This is what he looks like at the Marketplaces. To see the items he stands next to, you would need to have decorations, buildings and tools showing in your preferences. The picture on the left is the Job Marketplace, the picture on the right is the Trade Marketplace.



When you storage opens, you will then see something like this, but it will be your products



You will see 3 tabs Storage, Gifts, Items. Click on whichever section your item is in that you want to sell. When you have chosen the tab it will turn orange. The above picture shows it set to Storage.



When you are selling from the Storage section:


Top right of the window the drop down arrow next to All lets you filter your storage to

All
Crops
From Trees
From Animals
Fish
Flowers
From Facilites
From Facilites (Export)
Ingredients from Facilites
Non- Ingredients
Non-Ingredients (for me)

The A-Z Filter will let you sort your Storage by

Alphabetically - listed A-Z
Stored Amount - least amount is shown first
Ingredient Importance - what is needed the most
Ingredient Importance (for me) what is needed for the facilites you own, useful if you do not own all the facilites.
Total Price - least amount in coin value to most.
Selected - items that you have put a check mark in the box for selling.

The drop down arrow to the right of "Sell Half of Selected", depending on which of the above filters you chose, will let you choose from

Sell Half of Selected
Sell Selected
Sell Half of all
Sell All

For example Non Ingredients, Non Ingredients(for me) and From Facilites(export) will allow you to Sell All, but other options will not to stop you accidentally selling everything you may need for facilites. The 'Sell All' option is also the default option when you change the filter to one of these.

Once you have made your choices clicking the blue button will sell those items and your coins will be added to your total.


You can also sell a percentage of a particular item in storage if you wish. Hover over the box of one of your products and you will see 4 blue buttons : Sell All, Half, 33%, 10%. Click one of those buttons to sell the amount you choose.
