Default What is the Armored Truck?

Q: What is the Armored Truck?



A: The Armored Truck is a tool that allows you to Cash Out ALL Service Facilities in one click. This tool cost 30 Farm Cash. It's NOT the other armored truck that costs coins, that one is just decoration.
NOTE : Cashing out Service facilites uses Fuel.




The "Cash Out All" button is located at the top right of the Facility Manager.

Default What are the Freestyle Farm Designers?

Q: What is the Freestyle Farm Designer?


A: These tools are upgrades to the Yellow Edit Tool (Hand) in your Toolbox. The yellow edit hand that everyone starts out with, looks like this:


The Freestyle Farm Designers, commonly referred to as the orange, green or purple hands, have more capabilities.


Important note about overlapping waters and Fishing!!!!
When you own the freestyle designers that allow you to overlap waters and you choose to do this, you will need to own a Turbo Fishing boat in order to be able to catch every single fish in those waters.
  • Without a turbo fishing boat you will find that you won't be able to catch every single fish in overlapped waters on the farm AND you won't be able to fish the waters that are placed off the edges of a farm as those can ONLY be fished with a Turbo boat.

  • If you don't own a Turbo fishing boat you can hire a worker that owns it to fish them for you and they will need fuel to be able to use it.

  • Hired workers can use the farm owners turbo boat as long as the they have allowed the use of their Tools in the hire. They will also need Fuel.


Orange Freestyle Farm Designer: Allows Overlapping of Paths and Ponds. This tool enables paths and water items to almost fully overlap other items.

When you own this tool and place it into Item storage, you will see both the yellow hand and the orange hand in your toolbox.


Green Freestyle Farm Designer: This is an upgrade to the Orange Freestyle Farm Designer which allows Overlapping of All but Plants. If you already own the Orange Freestyle Farm Designer you can buy this Green Freestyle Farm Designer to allow any item except plants (fields/crops/trees/flowers) to almost fully overlap other items.

When you own the Green Freestyle Farm Designer as well as the orange one and place it into Item storage, you will see just the yellow hand and green hand in your tool box. There is no need to show the orange one as the green one will do the jobs of both the Orange and Green Freestyle Farm Designers. Do not sell the Orange hand, it needs to remain in storage so the game can see that you own it, should you then want to upgrade to the purple freestyle farm designer.

You can use the Orange and Green Freestyle Farm Designer tools while designing on other farmers farms as well. When you have permission to design a farm, which ever tool you have, the most upgraded one and the yellow edit hand will show up in your toolbox to use.

Examples of using the orange and green freestyle farm designers:

Using the Orange Freestyle Farm Designer: By overlapping river corners an a bit of imagination, you can create waterfalls....
Using the Green Freestyle Farm Designer: You can also bring other items closer to each other, like the overlapped waters, to create an effect.....
The Green Freestyle Farm Designer will also let you place some items off the edges of the farm. However this is something that was not intended by the developers to be done with the tool, so you will have to play around with what you are trying to move off the edge as some things will only go off two of the edges not all of them and you may find you need to rotate the item to get it off the edge of a farm. Note: If you choose to overlap or place waters off the edges of the farm, to be able to get all of the fish from the waters you will need a turbo fishing boat.



Purple Freestyle Farm Designer: This is an upgrade to the Green Freestyle Farm Designer which allows overlapping of All but Plants (fields/crops/trees/flowers). The Purple Freestyle Farm Designer does the jobs of the orange and green freestyle designers and also allows you to:
  • rotate items with a click
  • buy items from the Store and place them with every click
  • buy multiple items from the Store and place them with every click
  • use items from your storage and place them
  • and allows you to almost fully overlap some other items in your farm without requiring to have the full physical space in the farm

    WARNING: The buying options allow you to buy Farm Cash items as long as you have enough FC to cover the items you are buying. Be very careful that you remember to click the green man to stop buying more of the item you are placing!

When you own all of the Freestyle Farm Designers and place them into storage you will see in your toolbox, the yellow edit hand, the green freestyle farm designer and the purple freestyle designer.

To use the Purple Freestyle Farm Designer, place it into Item Storage and then open your toolbox and click on the purple hand. You will then see the following options :
  • Edit items - this is what the green hand currently does.
  • Rotate Items - when you chose this option the item you click on will rotate, then you move the item to the new position and click again to set it down. Click the green man to stop using the tool.
  • Buy one item from the Store - opens the store for you to chose what to buy and overlap.
  • Buy multiple items from the Store - opens the store for you to choose what to buy. Each click buys the item and places it on your farm. Click the green man to stop using the tool.
  • Use items from your Storage - opens your storage for you to choose what to place on your farm and overlap. Click the green man to stop using the tool.


This tool can be used when designing for others but will NOT allow you to buy any Farm Cash Items for them or take any Farm Cash Items out of their Item storage. In the store you will see that all Farm Cash items are showing as Locked.

When you are using the tool on a farm that you have permission to design, the tool menu is slightly different in that you see a choice to use Items from your friends storage. Example:


The following picture is to explain the difference in the physical space needed to place an item on the farm with the The Purple Freestyle Farm Designer compared to placing it without the tool...



Normally when you place an item on the farm, you need to have a space the same size or larger than the item you are placing, the example here is for an open pit mine, as indicated by the yellow lines.

With the Purple Freestyle Farm Designer you only need a clear space the size of the area indicated in bold red, which is the same size a single pine tree would use.



Important: The Purple Freestyle Farm Designer will let you buy multiples of Farm Cash Items, as long as you have the Farm Cash available to spend, so be very careful that you are buying the right item before you proceed. As soon as you are done buying the item you want make sure you click on the green man to stop buying!



To use the Freestyle Farm Designer, 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 "Edit Items" 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. You do need to do this if you want to use the Orange or Green Freestyle Farm Designers on another farmers farm (for the Design this Farm Together or Super Neighbour with Design Permissions Features). 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.

Default What are the Animal Harvesters?

Q: What are the Animal Harvesters?

A: The animal harvesting tools are used to harvest ALL the animal sheds (providing you have all the tools needed) using the 'Harvest All' button in the facility manager. There are 4 tools.

When you own at least one of these tools it will also mean that the Quest Farm Setting for any farm prevents the animals sheds on those farms related to the tools from being harvested when using the Harvest All at the top of the Facility Manager. This can be useful for quest purposes. For more details on setting a farm as a Quest farm, please click on this link: https://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showth...58#post5836358




- Milking Station - Harvests ALL dairy sheds in ALL farms that have NOT been set as Quest Farms.


- Shearing and Cutting set - Harvests ALL wool sheds, rabbit hutches and stables in ALL farms that have NOT been set as Quest Farms.


- Egg Collector - Harvests ALL chicken coops in ALL farms that have NOT been set as Quest Farms.


- Manure Collector - Harvests ALL pigsties on ALL farms that have NOT been set as Quest Farms.
NOTE: To store manure you must own the manure spreader.


When you own at least one of these tools you can use the Harvest All button located at the top of the Facility Manager.




  • To use these tools you must place them into Storage. It is always best to do this, that way the game can see which tools you own should an upgrade to a tool be released in the future.
    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 Herding Robot?

What is the Herding Robot?

On 27 FEB,2024, the Herding Robot tool was updated and now has more functions.






The Herding Robot can be used to store animals in their animal sheds, mainly harvestable animals, some but not all of the very old decorative animals.

The Herding Robot also enables buying multiples of some harvestable animals and sends them directly to the relevant animals shed on whichever of your farms you are on that has room for them instead of buying and placing them one by one on the farm and then storing them.

You can not buy multiples and place them on the farm.
Remember animals that are not in animals sheds can be a huge drain on computer resources and make farms slow to load or even impossible for some computers when far too many animals are on a farm.

  • When you own the Herding Robot make sure that you place it into your Item storage, so that it can be used on any of your own farms.

  • You can not use this tool on another farmers farms. They must own it themselves and use it themselves.

  • You can buy multiple on harvestable animals in the store like sheep, llamas, white rabbits, ostriches and peacocks and automatically send them to the animal shed on the farm you are on as long as you have room for them in the animal shed.

  • As long as you can afford it, you could fill a shed with the maximum amount of animals it will hold with one purchase per animal type.

  • You can also buy and send the amount of animals needed to fill the animal shed if it's got some in but not at maximum yet.

  • These new options mean you can easily fill a harvestable animal shed with coin animals very fast. Without it you are buying them one at a time and the counter on the save icon climbs for each purchase making you wait for them to load before you could store them. The more animals you place on a farm, the longer the wait.

  • This tool will not buy multiples of ANY decorative animals in bulk.

  • This tool will not buy Farm Cash Animals in bulk. Farm Cash Animals must still be bought one at a time and placed on a totally CLEAR SPOT on your farm.

IMPORTANT
Do not buy and place FARM CASH animals without showing EVERYTHING possible on your farms so you can see if there is any clear spot to place them. If you place them where another item is, no matter if it's crop trees, flowers, facilities, buildings, decorations or when there are numerous amounts of those on the farm, your Farm Cash animals can go missing before you get a chance to store them!

Some of the coin animals are quite expensive to buy in bulk for those starting out and not a lot of coins. You may want to consider this before filling any new animal shed form empty to maximum with every kind of coin bought animal it can hold to harvest.

Harvestable sheep for example are only 800 coins each, where as the harvestable ostriches are 50,000 each!



To use the Herding Robot to store working animals that are already placed on your farms, you must have the relevant animal shed on the farm AND have room in the shed on that farm to store them.

Open your yellow toolbox and click on the Herding Robot.


Then click on the animal you want to store.




You will then see how many you will be storing which will be whatever capacity is left in the animals shed for that animal




If there is room for the animals they will be stored in the shed and you will see the message to confirm how many of which animal were sent to the animal shed.




To buy multiples of coin bought harvestable animals from the store and send then directly to animals sheds on the farm you are on, you must have room in the relevant animals shed on that farm to store them.
Open the Store and click on the Animals section.

Scroll down or search for the animal you wish to buy like sheep, llama, white rabbit, ostrich, peacock.

Mouseover the animals and Multiple will appear.

In these examples we are buying sheep:



CLICK on Multiple and you will see your buying options. If the shed already has some in it but is not full the maximum you will see the maximum you can buy is the remaining capacity of that animal shed for that animal.

When a specific animal in an animal shed is at maximum for capacity (250 regular sheds, 500 super sheds) when you click on Multiple it will show you information like these:






These are the options shown when there are no sheep in the animal shed:






Scroll down and click on the amount of animals you want to purchase, then you will be shown a popup with information.

These examples are for filling a shed to maximum for regular shed or super shed.

Take note of the type of animal, the amount you are buying and the COST incase you made a mistake or can't afford them. This is your only opportunity to cancel the purchase!!

If the information is correct. Click on the green check mark to buy and store the animal in your animal shed. The coins will be deducted and you can check the animal shed to make sure it is full or the amount you bought was added.
To cancel the purchase, click on the red X instead.

You will then see this type of message when the purchase is successful:

Default What is the Excavator?

Q: What is the Excavator?



A: It is a tool that's used to sell items in bulk from the farm. For protection, this tool will never work with any Farm Cash items OR any Buildings, Trains, Ships, Tools or Facilities.

NOTE: Super Neighbours with the correct design permissions can use this tool on your farm when designing.

For example. If you decided to sell all your water items, it will not sell your Farm Cash waters.

You can use it on any field, plowed fields, growing crop fields, etc but it will always delete and not sell the fields.

Note: When you delete a crop, it does not leave a harvested or plowed field where the crop was planted. It deletes the field it was planted on.

This is an example of the window you will see when you click on a crop to delete it. The top option will delete that specific crop and the fields it is planted on. The second option will let you delete ALL crops and plowed and harvested fields on the farm.

Q:What is the Tower Crane?



A: It is a tool that's used to move items in bulk to storage. This does not work with FarmCash items or facilities.

NOTE: Super Neighbours with design permissions can NOT use this tool on your farms. They do not have access to your item storage and have no way of knowing if you have room for any items in there.

Default What are the Multi Planters?

Q: What are the Multi Planters?

A: Multi Planters allow you to plant multiples of flowers or trees, from 16 up to 1600 at a time.
There are 7 sizes of Muti Planter tools and they all have several planting options.




They must be bought in size order, so to buy the Multi Planter 8x8 you must first own the Multi Planter 4x4. To buy the Multi Planter 12x12 you must own both the 4x4 and the 8x8 and so on.

The Multi Planter works on both new trees and flowers from the store, those in your gift box and those you have in storage as long as you have enough clear space on your farm to place them.

To use the Multi Planter, 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 "Plant Items" and then follow the instructions below.
  • However, if you are wanting to plant from storage you need to place the tool into storage. It is better to place all tools into your Storage. That way the game knows what tools you own should another upgrade be released. You can then 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.



Buying new flowers or trees from the Store using the Multi Planters:

Click on the Multi Planter you want to use and the store will open.
Once you have chosen which tree or flower you want to plant, then you can choose from one of the following 6 patterns in which to plant them.

Click on the pattern you want to use and as you click on the farm it will plant those in that pattern.



Using the Multi Planters to plant flowers or trees from storage:
  • Open your Storage to the Item section.
  • Find the trees or flowers you wish to plant. You may find it easier to either use the search box to find them or filter Item Storage to trees or flowers.
  • Hover over the box containing the flower or tree and you will see a Multi button with a drop down arrow to the right and also a Use button. (The Use button is for planting one by one.)


To use the Multi Planter click on Multi and a list will appear showing you the available sizes as shown below.



Click on the size you want to use and then you will then be shown the planting patterns for you to choose from. Click on the pattern and as you click on the farm, it will plant what you have selected in the pattern you chose until you run out of those in storage.

As of April 2020, the Multi Planters can now overhang the bottom edges of the farm so you don't have to switch to using a smaller tool to get it to fit within the farm. This is useful when you want to add trees or flowers to the bottom edges of an upgraded farm size.

Default What are the Transplanters?

Q. What are the Transplanters?

There are Transplanters for moving or duplicating trees/flowers that are on a farm as long as those trees and flowers can be bought in the store and are NOT gift only. For example Cork Oak Tree and Glad flowers can not be bought from the Store.

There is also an Ex Transplanter. This tool can transplant or duplicate up to 1600 of most coin bought trees and flowers, waters, coin facilities, coin tools, in season decorations and any earned farm pass decorations that you may be using to decorate farms. It has different sizes you could use.
It also has Highlight or Extent mode. There are exceptions to what it can transplant or duplicate, so please make sure to read all the information before you purchase and then use this tool!

NOTE: None of the Transplanters, including the EX Transplanter, can move anything on a farm to different farm.



Transplanters


Transplanters are upgrades to the Multi Planter tools. They will transplant trees and or flowers from one part of the farm to another part of the same farm as long as you have enough clear space on your farm to move them to. To buy one of these you must first own the same size Multi Planter.

Example:
To buy the Transplanter 4x4, you must first own the Multi Planter 4x4
To buy the Transplanter 8x8, you must own both the Multi Planter 4x4, Multi Planter 8x8 and Transplanter 4x4.

4x4 Transplanter will move up to 16 trees or flowers.
8x8 Transplanter will move up to 64 trees or flowers.
12x12 Transplanter will move up to 144 trees or flowers.
16x16 Transplanter will move up to 256 trees or flowers.
24x24 Transplanter will move up to 576 trees or flowers.
32x32 Transplanter will move up to 1024 trees or flowers.
40x40 Transplanter will move up to 1600 trees or flowers.
Your Transplanter must be on the farm or in storage. It's always best to add your tools to your item storage so that you can use them on any of your farms and for when you want to upgrade to a bigger tool!!! Storing Farm Cash tools does not use any of your Item capacity.

There are methods to pick the Transplanter up to use:
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and in the menu that shows, click on "Transplant Items"

  • If the tool is in your Item storage you can open your toolbox and click on the transplanter that you want to use.

To Use the Transplanter:

Click on the size of transplanter that you own and want to use, you will see the transplanter menu with options to chose from:
  • A check box option to Duplicate the flowers or trees you click on instead of moving them.
  • All trees AND All flowers
  • All trees OR All flowers
  • Specific trees OR flowers



When moving trees or flowers:
  1. Click on one of the blue buttons that has the option that you want to use.
  2. Move the tool over the trees/flowers that you want to move to highlight them.
  3. When you have highlighted them click on them to pick them up.
  4. Move to a big enough clear spot on your farm where you want to place them.
  5. Green area under the trees or flowers means you can place them.
    Red means there is something in the way preventing you placing them.
  6. To set them down, click in that spot and your items will be placed.

When Duplicating instead of moving trees or flowers .
  • To use this, add a check mark to the box for Duplicate Pattern then click on one of the blue buttons that has the option that you want to use.
  • Then click on one which trees/flowers you want to duplicate.
  • Move the tool over the trees/flowers that you want to duplicate and plant to highlight them.
  • When you have highlighted them click on them to copy them. You will see a brief notification of the amount you are duplicating and cost.

  • Move to a big enough clear spot on your farm where you want to place them.
  • Green area under the trees or flowers means you can place them. Red means there is something in the way preventing you placing them.
  • To set them down, click in that spot. Your items will be placed and your coins will be deducted for your purchase.



Ex Transplanter


The EX Transplanter transplants or duplicates more than trees and flowers.
The Ex Transplanter is NOT a bigger size Transplanter!!

  • IMPORTANT: It is possible to duplicate coin facilities and coin tools with the EX Transplanter.

    Duplicating coin facilities does NOT change the rule that a duplicated facility behaves as decoration and does not provide more products than only one facility on the farm can. Some designers will use facilities as part of a design so may want more than one on a farm for decoration purposes.

    If you do not need to duplicate a facility or coin tool on your farm for decorative purposes make sure that you remove the check marks for Show Regular Facilities, Show Service Facilities and Show Tools before you use the Duplicate option on the EX Transplanter.

    When you duplicate Items, there is a brief notification that tells you how many items your are duplicating and the cost. Please pay attention to those figures!!!!

    If you think you are only duplicating a few items and the amount of items it shows is much higher, consider if the possible reason could be due to hiding facilities underneath large decorative items, which can be one with some of the freestyle designers.

  • Once you have placed any duplicated items the purchase can NOT be reversed.

  • You will need enough clear space on your farm to move or duplicate items, if the items won't place show everything in your preferences to see if anything may be in the way of you placing them.

  • The EX Transplanter has Highlight and Extent Mode. Highlight will highlight your items, Extent Mode shows a yellow squared area instead of highlighting the items. It will be up to you you to check which method will work better for what you want to transplant or Duplicate.

    If you have never used Highlight or Extent mode on other tools, when you use the tool a copy of the tool will be bottom right of your game screen. Clicking on that icon shows you the Highlight and Extent mode options. The top one is Highlight. The one below with the yellow box is Extent. Click on the option you want to use and the menu will close.

Highlight (left picture) or Extent mode (right picture).



Using the EX Transplanter shows you a different menu to the other Transplanters, you have more options to use.

You can transplant OR duplicate coin items which includes:
  • Trees Only
  • Flowers Only
  • Trees AND Flowers
  • Buildings and Decorations
  • All of the Above which includes...
    coin facilities
    coin tools
    coin waters
    coin decorations in the store that are not seasonal.
    seasonal decor that ARE available to buy in the store at that time, not the rest.
    Farm Pass decorations you have already earned.




    This tool DOES NOT transplant or duplicate the following Items:
  • Any Farm Cash Items (facilities, decor, tools)
  • Trains (decorative or working)
  • Ships

When Transplanting Items to another spot on your farm:

  2. Click on the Ex Transplanter to use it.

  4. Click on one of the blue buttons that has the option that you want to use.
    You can then choose if you wish to use Highlight or Extent Mode.

  5. Move the tool over the Items that you want to move to highlight them or when using Extent mode move the yellow square so the items you want to move are within that squared area.

  6. When you have highlighted them, click on them to pick them up.

  8. To set them down, click in that clear spot and your items will be placed.

  7. Read the information in the first notification! This is your only opportunity to change your mind.
    It tells you how many items you are buying AND the cost!


    If you do not wish to proceed, click on the Green Man to stop using the tool and your purchase will be cancelled.

  8. If you are happy with your selection and the cost, move your items to the clear spot on your farm.

  9. When you click on that area to place them your items will be placed AND the cost of duplicating them will be deducted from your coins.


  10. If you wish to continue duplicating your items you can click on another clear area to carry on purchasing and placing them. Each time you place them your coins are deducted.

  11. To stop using the tool click on the green man in your game bar.

Default What are the Gifting Machines?

What are the Gifting Machines?

Some Gifting Machines decrease the time until you can send gift again,
Some Gifting Machines increasing the amount of gifts you receive.
Some Gifting Machines increase your Gift Boc Capacity.




Without the tools you can send gifts every 8 hours and have a maximum of 150 gifts in your gift box.


Gifting Machine (Grey in colour) lets you send gifts every 4 hours.
Gifting Machine (Red) lets you send gifts every 3 hours.
Gifting Machine (Orange) lets you send gifts every 2 hours.


Gifting Machine (Green) doubles the amount of gifts you receive..
Gifting Machine (Pink) gives you 3 gifts for every 1 that you accept.
Gifting Machine (Yellow) gives you 4 gifts for every 1 that you accept.


Gifting Machine (Purple) expands your Gift Box capacity to 500.
Gifting Machine (Brown) expands your Gift Box capacity to 1000.
Gifting Machine (Blue) expands your Gift Box capacity to 2000.
Gifting Machine (Light Blue) expands your Gift Box capacity to 4000.


*NOTE* For the tools that multiply gifts This ONLY applies to crops, trees, flowers, animals that can be harvested (horses, cows, hens, turkeys, goats, geese), freshwater bait, seawater bait and production ingredients.

The amount of Bonuses and ingredients you can have in your gift box remains the same at around 130.

You must buy the previous tool in order to buy the next one. So to buy the Red gifting tool, you must first own the Grey one and so on.

These tools must be placed in your Item Storage to work Once they are there you don't have to do anything with them, the game will recognize which ones you own.
