Machinery/tools both functional and non-functional

[marymarcel]

Please use this thread to suggest new machinery for the farm.
These can be things that would function and would be found under the Tools tab on the game, or items just for decoration, such as an ATV that would be just fun to have on the farm.

Please remember NOT to comment, reply or quote any suggestion you see in these threads. This is to allow any member to feel comfortable about posting their idea regardless of whether or not it would be popular with other members or farmers!

please give us a load all tool for trains to buy like we have for ships.get a lot of trains be easier on me with messed up fingers to hav a load all for trains like we do for ships

A suggested new tool: Robotic Central Control Module (RCCM)

The RCCM uses AI to monitor all operations on all farms. At the farmers command, the RCCM has the maximum tools purchased perform their functions. That would be tree harvesting/chopping, crop harvesting & replanting using the new tool, facilities processed, fish and flower harvesting. All done in one process. This would be of great value to time limited farmers who are working 46+ 60X60 farms, like myself...

Of course such a tool would come at a eye-popping FC cost. Say, 1.200 FC?

I would love to see a platform tool we can buy that will allow us to place a new tool or facility without having to delete fields then plow again and again.
I picture it as a small side platform where we place the new tool or facility, then move them into place where we want them using the Hand tool we already have purchased.
Thanks for the fun game!

I am in love with the new replanting existing crops tool because of all the time it saves me. I had no problem with the cost. In the future I would love to purchase a, "shake all trees on current farm," and then a, "harvest all fish on current farm," tool. They would also free up a lot of time for us. Thanks.

It would be very useful if you could produce a combine (harvest/sow) that covered a smaller area such as 3x3 for use in small plots like quest farms.
Thank you for considering this.

A tool to place multiple water items at a time.

[Joyinlife]

FT recently gave us 100 extra animals. What would be nice is if we had something where we could load all farms at once instead of having to go from farm to farm to put the animals in. I have the barns, chicken coop, etc. on all farms so it is a lot of work.

Add Big Lakes and Small Sea Coasts to the Transplanter EX

A EX Tool to place multiple water items at once

Both of these would be Very Welcomed

[canadian nancy]

I have a suggestion, for a tool or adding capability to a tool. It would be great if we could add waterways in multiples like the multi planter does trees and flowers. Could possibly add the capability to either the multi planter or the purple hand????

[JohnAlbertini]

First, more real estate is not needed IMHO!

But those of us who do NOT layer crops would really appreciate it if we got larger NON-ex H/P/S/Combines that function the same as the other existing large tools: flower harvester, logging truck, tree shaker in that the square they cover is of a fixed size and shape and handle fixed squares pinned to the top center plot. I don't understand why these existing H/P/S/Combines don't function like their existing counterparts?

[TheBigMama]

I think it would be nice to have a tool that allows the player to click ONCE to get all of a category, i.e. shaking, chopping, etc., on a farm level. It could be that there is a tool for each category. Maybe my eyesight is not as good as it used to be, but on the farms that have expanded as much as possible, it can be hard for me to find all the trees, flowers, etc. Knowing I could click one time to get them all would be very helpful to me. It could also benefit with the farms that layer as well.

BTW: WOW. I love working both farms at one time. Kudos!:D

[ulovetammy]

Is there a way that i can see my SN's tools. I like to send gifts and i want to send a combine but it only shows mine. If there is a way please let me know if not is there a way that you can fix it so we can see what they need?

Thank you for your help

[Serenity Dilsworth]

A suggestion and I thank you in advance for your consideration.


Could we get a second sprinkler that works like the purple sprinkler allowing us to irrigate a second time especially helpful when you plant a short term crop followed by a long term crop that would also need irrigation.

Have a lovely day y'all!

Could we have a twenty-four hour a day sprinkler system?

[JohnAlbertini]

Once AGAIN EXTREMELY disappointed that those who layer crops get bigger tools and we who do not layer must still SUFFER with smaller, less functional tools!!!

When will we get 32x32 H/P/P tools that function like the, flower harvester, logging, tree shaker tools?!!!!

The EX tools are USELESS to us!!!

We need the plow TWO plots to work horizontally. Now it only works vertically. Or we need a NEW plow TWO horizontally tool.

[wvmilkman]

I have an idea (although it may go down in flames). I'd love to see a multi-layer plowing tool. You could always make it to where you can get bigger plowers (or whatever you want to call them) to make more and more layers possible. i.e., a 3x layer plower, 5x 7x, 10x, and so on, as it takes a lot of time & effort to do them yourself one layer at a time.

You could make them via FC only (which would be fine with me). By the way I LOVE the re-planting tool for the same crops as it's such a great timesaver! Thanks for making it available. No regrets about the cost as it was well worth it.

[Mercy1975]

Can we please have a tool to place the ponds it's ridiculous how time consuming it is to do a 60x 60 let alone all 49 farms... This has been asked for 15 years ago and you still haven't done it, I'm surprised too because just about every player has layered fish.

[closerfan]

It would be great to have a farm tool that could distinguish between different trees or flowers. For example, when harvesting trees, have a drop down for choosing which trees to harvest. Just like the removing tool.

[JohnAlbertini]

I want my 40 FC back, you can have the 32x Seeder back!!! The 32x tools do NOTHING that the 28x tools can do UNTIL we get 64x farms!!! SUPREME WASTE of FC!!!! Wish I had not bought it!!!

I've been suggesting that the regular H/P/P tools behave like the flower & tree tools behave but NO, same old same old!!!

These 32x tools are NOT any improvement!!!!!

[Enigmacross]

I would love a tool that automatically refills all facilities while you are offline/sleeping/working. Mine nearly always run to 0 when I'm sleeping. This disadvantages both me and my neighbours who are working them.
