You can navigate easily with the Farm Selector Grid top left of your game screen.
It is located on the left side of your Farmers List icon at the top of your game screen.
This farmer has 3 farms. Each number in each box represents a specific farm.
You will see a slightly different type of grid with SHOW NAMES above it when you have at least
4 farms like this:
When you have
9 farms you will also see some boxes with white arrows either side of the grid.
If you mouse over this type of farm grid it will expand so you can see it bigger.
Underneath SHOW NAMES each of the rectangles represents one of your farms.
The top row left to right are farms 1 to 4, the second row underneath are farms 5 to 8 and so on.
This example has 48 farms.
The yellow background on the 2 in the grid means this farmer is on their Farm 2.
The boxes with white arrows are a quick way to get to the next or previous farm.
If this farmer wanted to go to farm 1 they can click on the arrow on the left of the grid.
If they wanted to go to farm 3 they would click on the arrow on the right.
As you mouseover each of the rectangles the background will turn yellow with a red box around it. It will also show you the name of the farm, the size it is and if it is Fertilised, Watered or Irrigated.
You can also click on one of the rectangles which will take you to that farm.
In this case the farmer would go from farm 2 to farm 48.
Clicking on
SHOW NAMES will open a much larger window showing you all of your farms like the one below:
There is a green outline in the picture around Farm 1 (indicated with a red arrow) which means this farmer is on Farm 1.
You can also click on the name of a farm in that large window and that will take you to the farm that you clicked on.
Show Extra Farm Info can be clicked on and will show you will show you information on which farms are:
- F - Fertilized
I - Irrigated
W - Watered
Q - Quest
P - Private
D - Disabled for Super Neighbour farming actions
O - Watering of flowers is disabled UNLESS you hire someone, including super neighbours, to harvest the flowers on that farm.
Full details on how to set a farm with any of the options can be seen in Chapter 2 Can I make a farm Private?
If you mouse over the coloured Legend top left it will tell you what those colours and letters represent, should you forget them.
- If you mouse over the farm names with the sizes it will also tell you if the farm can be upgraded and what it will cost.
In this example the farm is currently size 34x34 and the next expansion for it will cost 30 billion coins or 40 FarmCash to expand to 36x36, which is the next size for that farm:
60x60 is the largest farm size at this time.
Show Facility Info when clicked on will show you how many of each type of facility you have.
The legend at the top left of the window represents the different types of facilities.
If you mouseover each of the options it will tell you what the colours and letters represent and how many of those types of facilities you own.
In this section, each box in the window represents one of your farms.
When you mouseover them you will see the Facility Capacity Used out of 100% for that farm.
In the example below you can see that the blue bar under the farm name is almost at the end of the whole box. This means that facility capacity is very high so that farm is near it's limit for the amount of facilities that can be on that farm:
NOTE: Facility capacity also includes the amount of working locomotives and long cars on the farm as part of the Facility Capacity. Each locomotive counts as 1, each Farm Cash Long Car counts as one. One train with all 19 long cars on it counts as 20 towards the facility capacity limit.
Show Work Info when clicked on will show you where you have work ready to be done on your farms.
This is an example of what you could see..
When you mouseover the legend top left of the window it will tell you what the letters and each colour represents.
Show Product Names - Located in the top left, below the colored legend, it will show the most common product present on each farm. Plow Fields, Harvested Fields and Gone to Waste Fields will never be shown.
When you mouse over each farm it will show a tooltip with the 10 most common products present on that farm.
In this example there far more than 10 different items ready to work so it can't list all of them.
To the right of Show Product Names is a dropdown menu that will allow you to see the numbers of workable items that will become ready in different timeframes.
The default behavior is to see what is ready to work NOW (Ready now), at the current time. The dropdowns will allow you to choose different time intervals, like ready within 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours etc, and in the specific case of the crops, you will also be able to see how many of the crops will become wasted within 2 hours, 4 hours, etc.
Some of this info can also be seen in the Farm Stats screen. It will be up to you to decide which method works best for you.
There are also differences with the time intervals between this method and the time intervals in Farm Stats.
In the Farm Stats screen the intervals do not overlap, meaning they are 1-2 hours, 2-3 hours, 3-4 hours, etc.
In the Show Work Info ALL of them overlap, one time interval is included in the next time interval, which can provide some speed advantages on some scenarios.
This dropdown is not visible on the first 2 job types, Fields to Plow and Seeds to Plant.
Show Quantities top left of this window will return you to the previous window where you were showing what work was ready on your farms.
Show Names will return you back to the window displaying all your farms names.
Show User Info when clicked on will show you with a blue circle on the farm name, which farms your workers are on.
You will need to have at least 4 farms so you can use Show Work Info and then Show User Info.
The three blue circles at the top right show you if they are Working, Connected OR Working, Disconnected OR Idle, Connected.
Connected means they are Online in the game, Disconnected means they are offline in the game.
If your worker has not left, you can send a message to them if you wish. There will be an envelope you can click on showing top right of the window.
You will see something like this but they will be your workers on your farms. In this example we have indicated the message envelope with a red arrow.
There is a worker showing Idle on farm 2 and a worker showing as working and online on farm 5:
Clicking on the Message envelope shows you another window:
In this window IF they were not a Neighbour or a Buddy you can also use the blue and green silhouette icons to send a Neighbour or a Buddy Request.
Please remember that to earn a reward for hiring and for a worker to earn the bonus chest they can not be a Neighbour or Buddy.
A dimmed icon means that they are on one of your lists.
If neither icon is dimmed like these:
Click on the Blue one to send a Request to add them as your Neighbour.
Click on the Green one to send a Request to add them as your Buddy.
Tiger is offline and Idle on Farm 2. The farm owner can only send them an in game message. They will receive the message as they work or when they move to another farm.
Hetty and the farm owner are both online in the game and both are farm 5. In this case there are 2 message options. To send an in game message AND to send an online chat message to the chat box.
Clicking on this icon lets you send an in game message to that farmer.
Clicking on this option lets you send a message that will show up in the chat box. Only use this 2nd option IF you are both going to be on the same farm long enough for you both to see the message in the chat box in your game bar.
Clicking on either of those options shows you a small message box that you can type in using your keyboard.
When you have finished typing your message, click on the green Send button to send it, or click on the red X to cancel
When you visit another farmers farm and they own more than one farm, the gird at the top of your game screen will change to represent each of that farmer farms.
This farmer has 24 farms, so the grid at the top of the game screen next to the Farmers List icon changes to represent thier farms so that you can use it go farm to farm.
To be able to return to your own farms after visiting or working another farmers farm you will also see a Home icon bottom right of your game screen while you are on thier farm.
If you only have one farm clicking on the icon will take you back to your farm.
If you have more farms, clicking on that Home Icon will also show you a grid. In this case the grid represents your farms.
What kind of colours you may see in the grid and if you see a red dot or not will vary depending on the differences betwen your farms and thiers, if you are a super neighbour with design permaissions or not. You can ignore all of them. The intention to show the grid here is just so you have a way to get back to any of your farms.
Clicking on DEFAULT would take you back to your default farm.
Clicking on LAST would take you back whichever one of your farms that you werr last on.
To go to a specific one of your farms, just click on the number of the farm that you want to go to to return home.
