What types of Facilities are there?
There are 3 main types of Facilities.
Production Facilities. These are where you make products. Some products can be used to make products in other regular facilities.
Some products can be stocked in service facilities to make more coins.
You can also sell them if you don't need them.
Regular facilities can be worked by friends.
The lists of Production Facilities in Farm Town are in Chapter 13.1 List of Production Facilities
Non Workable Facilities. These use your coins to produce a product which you can use to make other products in Production Facilities. Non Workable Facilities can NOT be worked by friends.
The list of all the Non-Workable Facilities in Farm Town are in this Chapter post #14
Service Facilities. These do not produce any goods but instead are where you can stock products that have been made in Production Facilities. When you cash these out, you will earn about 50% more profit than just selling them at market. These can be worked by friends.
The lists of Service Facilities in Farm Town are in Chapter 13.2 List of Service Facilities
There is also a Super Facility which will be explained later in this Chapter.
If you can not see all types of facilities on a farm you need to check your Preferences: This is your preferences icon which you will find top right of your game screen. Click on it and it will open your Preferences window. To see all types of facilities on a farm you need check marks added for:
- Show Regular Facilities - For Regular Facilities and Non-Workable Facilities.
- Show Service Facilities - For Service Facilities.
- Show Farm Cash Items - Facilities can be both Coin Items and Farm Cash Items.
- Show Coin Items - Facilities can be both Coin Items and Farm Cash Items.

When you make changes to your Preferences remember to click on the green check mark at the bottom of the Preference window to save your changes.
When buying a new facility and you place it on your farm you will see an extra popup with information on how to use it. This popup will stop showing up for levels over 200:

Some Production and Service Facilities are classified as "Funeral" and "Religious Facilities". They still produce or stock products and friends can work them, as long as they have not opted out of doing them.
You can not post facility work from these.
If you want to opt out of working those facilities there is an option in your game Preferences for them, remove the check marks for "Skip Funeral Facilities" and "Skip Religious Facilities".
The Funeral and Religious Facilities are:- Funeral Supplies Factory
- Funeral Home
- Buddhist Supplies Factory
- Buddha Shop
- Fortune Teller Supplies Factory
- Fortune Teller Wagon
Is there a Limit on how many Facilities I can put on a farm?
Yes. There are 2 limits. The first limit is that you can only have one of each type of facility on a farm, not multiples of the same facility.
The exception to this rule is when there are two types of facilities that produce the same products, one either produces the products faster than the other or produces a larger amount of the same products. You can have one regular facility and one turbo version of the facility on a farm.
For example this combination of facilities can be on the same farm:- Bakery and Turbo Bakery
- Bee Farm and Turbo Bee Farm
- Cinnamon Factory and Turbo Cinnamon Factory
- Dairy Processing Plant and Turbo Dairy Processing Plant
- Fish Farming Plant and Turbo Fish Farming Plant
- Ink and Pigments Factory and Turbo Ink and Pigments Factory
- Metal Mill and Turbo Metal Mill
- Mineral Mine and Turbo Mineral Mine
- Oil Factory and Turbo Oil Factory
- Oil Pump and Offshore Oil Rig
- Oil Refinery and Turbo Oil Refinery
- Open-Pit Mine and Turbo Open-Pit Mine
- Paper Mill and Turbo Paper Mill
- Petrochemical Plant and Turbo Petrochemical Plant
- Red Windmill and Stone Windmill
- Rubber Factory and Turbo Rubber Factory
- Sawmill and Turbo Sawmill
- Spice Factory and Turbo Spice Factory
- Sugar Refinery and Turbo Sugar Refinery
- Textile and Spinning Mill and Turbo Textile and Spinning Mill
- Watermill and Turbo Watermill
- Winery and Turbo Winery
NOTE: You can not do this with the Animal sheds.
There are regular animal sheds and super animal sheds.
For example one regular wool shed OR one super wool shed, not both of them.
The second limit is the total amount of facilities you can have on one farm. This limit is between 350 and 400. However, that amount can also be affected by how much production you have in those facilities that have not been stored yet.
If you see a message telling you that you have too many facilities on a farm, the first thing we suggest is to store all production from those facilities and cash out the service facilities, then refresh farm and see if the message goes away.
If the message clears, do NOT not add any more facilities to that farm and remember to store products and cash out regularly.
If the message comes back, store all production, cash out the service facilities and move some facilities to another farm. You may want to wait until the facilities are empty so that you do not lose any products. If you store a facility that still has pending production you will see a warning popup message telling you that.
Information to keep in mind when moving facilities to other farms: Train locomotives and their long cars also count as part of this limit, one for each locomotive and one for each long car, so you need to take all of those trains and long cars into account as well, if you have the trains on the same farms your facilities are on.
If you decide to move your facilities to a different farm. Do do not place 2 identical facilities on the same farm. There is no warning popup message to tell you that you are placing another facility on the farm that is already there when you are moving them from your Item storage to the farm. You only get that warning when buying a new facility.
If you did place identical facilities on the same farm, only one of them produces or stock items. The others behave as decoration.
You will NOT be able to see that you have multiples of the same facility on the same farm using the Facility Manager as only one of them is actually producing or stocking items.
When you store a duplicate facility, you will see the normal warning about loss of products asking you to confirm that you want to do this. When it's a duplicate facility, you don't actually lose any products. It's not producing or stocking anything. Duplicates behave as decor, what the second one does is just copies the information from the first one so it doesn't matter which one you look in, they will both have the same information.
As long as you are leaving one of them on the farm, you can store the duplicates without losing the products from the one left on the farm. It does not matter which one of them you store.
Example of the warning:

If you move a lot of facilities to other farms it's always worth leaving the farm and returning to it to see if you get any warning about duplicated Farm Cash facilities so you know if there is a problem with any Farm Cash facilities on that farm.
If you think you may have more than one of a coin facility on a farm, you know the name of the facility, you can use the Search Tool in your tool box to check for them:
- Go to the farm where you think the duplicate facilities are.
You need to have a check mark added to Show Regular Facilities and/or Show Service Facilities in your game preferences to see them. Non-workable facilities show up under the Regular Facilities selection.
Open your toolbox and click on the on the search tool.
- A search box will open.
- Type in the name of the facility you are looking for.
- Select Hide Non-Matching Items
- Click the green check mark and then only the items meeting your search criteria will show.
You could also use Farm Stats to locate which facilities are on which farms
You could use Show Facility Info to see what your Capacity Limit is per farm.
Duplicated Farm Cash facilities.
(there is no warning for duplicated coin facilities!) When you go to one of your farms that has more than one of the same Farm Cash facility on it you will see a warning popup telling you which facilities you have more than one of on the farm you are on.
Example:

The Don't tell me again in this session check box allows you to disable the pop up for the session. This means that if you were not to move the duplicate facilities to other farms at that time, you won't see message again until you reload the game and go to a farm that has duplicate facilities on it.
Clicking on the red X just closes the message and you can continue what you were doing.
Clicking on the green check mark:
The game will hide anything else showing up on the farm to show you just the facilities that you have multiples of, so they are easier for you to see.
In the following picture, the facilities are not far from each other. If you don't see them in view, make sure you look all over the entire farm all the way to the edges.
To show the other items again, click on Show Items bottom right of your game screen. The game will then load everything that is on that farm.
If you refresh the farm or go to another farm the settings will revert to what you had them set to.
