New Release -- August 24th, 2022

Why don't you make it so that when you have a harvest or chop,etc you can use your largest tool instead of the tiny one you have selected. If we have the others the should still count towards the pass item.

Hi Crystal

I moved your post to the New Release thread where we are responding all questions about Farm Pass.

You should be able to use any size of tool to do the farm work to complete a goal.

The only restriction you have for tools is when you get a goal to water flowers as you have to use the watering can and not the Mobile sprinkler.

Either we need a list of what counts as a 'regular' gift or we need the devs to make all the permanent gifts into regular ones. I am drowning in tomatoes!

Hi Sqrl,
If you are talking about "regular" gifts for the Farm Pass, any gift you find on the Send Gift & My requests tabs are regular gifts. The only stipulation for those goals is they have to be original gifts. Exchanged gifts will not count.

I know that's the theory, but in practice some of the gifts don't seem to count, like sausage packs.

Hi Sqrl,
Then it is a problem with the sausage packages. We have only had 2 reports of this including yours. Any other gift should be working. We will test this.

well that was a waste of time and effort... todays goal was get hired at job market and earn 5130 XP and after working 22 farms for the same farmer, harvest, plow, tree shake, chop, fish.. not one single XP was recorded. UPDATE: got hired to do just trees for one farmer, achieved the goal after doing 3 farms, so am happy but wish the the goal had stated that trees needed to be done.. it did not stipulate just said work.... finished all the other farms as I feel its only right to finish a job you are hired for, not just take what is needed for the goal..

Hi Aussie Rae,
Did you claim the bonus chest? The points are not added until you collect those bonuses. To get those you have to be hired by a stranger. It can not be a neighbor or buddy as you do not get the bonuses.
If you did get the bonuses, then try reloading your farms and then check the goal again.


EDIT: I just checked and you completed all of those after the goals changed. They change for everyone at midnight eastern time which was just about 30 minutes ago.

the times changed for me at 1.30pm here in South Australia, and I did get those xp after working another farm. The 1st farm was the dud one, no xp at all after doing 22 farms. the same exact goal was done when the second farmer hired me.. I checked, none were neighbors nor buddies.. farm was reloaded. The bonus chest was claimed after doing all work on each farm before leaving to do the next farm. I have no idea why the first farm, shaking the trees did put the xp towards the farm pass goal yet the second farm doing the exact same thing did... not to worry, its all done and dusted now, just wish we got more than 4 points for it... lol.

https://prnt.sc/EhcP6MxHxkux just to confirm chopping trees (or anything like this. Including just the tool) can be worked on a SN, your own farm or through the market but not via a neighbour. For some reason I have in my head that it will only work via your own farm or an SN. Can you confirm or not please?

EDIT NOTE: I've just confirmed by doing a neighbours chopping that it doesn't work via a neighbour. So we have to go via the market, SN or do our own farms. Out of curiosity though why doesn't it work via a Neighbour too??
