What is Storage for and where is it?



Storage is used to store anything harvested from farms, products made in facilities, for storing most items that can be placed on a farm that you don't want to use yet and is used when you want to move items from one farm to another farm.

To open your Storage:

Click on the Storage Icon which is located in your game bar towards the bottom of your game screen.

There are 2 Different Sections of Storage.
The name of the section that you are viewing will have an orange background.
You can change to viewing a different section by clicking on the name of the section to want to view.

• 
  You can not physically take anything out of this section.
  Everything in this section is either for using to make products, stocking services, trading or selling at market for profit.
  Some of these products can be sold to another farmer and some can be used to help your Neighbours with their co-operative quest when they place a help note on a quest step.
  
  
• 
  This is where you can store physical Items that could be placed on a farm like tools, decorations, buildings, animals that you don't want to use at that time.
  You can place Items into storage then take them back out of storage to perhaps place them on a different farm.
  Items in this section of storage can NOT be sold or given to another farmer.
  
  
  IMPORTANT:
  

  Do not sell any Tools that are in your Item storage, they need to stay there so that you can use them on any of your farms and for when you want to upgrade a tool so the game knows which ones you have already bought.
  
  You can not store animals that are placed on your farms until you own your second farm.

  
  
• Bait for fishing are not stored in either of the Storage sections.
  
  Gifts of Bait and Bait you store from your your fish farming plant, goes to the appropriate waters you own that are on your farms. Freshwater bait goes to Rivers and Lakes, Seawater bait goes to Sea Coasts. You can not sell bait that is stored in waters.
  
  The exception to this rule is any bait you earn when you send another farmer a bait bonus that they have earned. Your share of that reward goes to your Harvest & products Storage. In this case, you can either use it to stock the Fishing Tackle shop if you own one OR you can go to market and in Toms message that shows when you arrive, click on "I want to sell my Harvests & Gifts" then look for the bait in your storage and sell it to Tom for coins.
  
  Manure for fertilizing farms are not stored in either of the Storage sections.
  
  Manure is stored with the Manure Spreader tool. You must own a Manure Spreader in order to harvest pigs and store the manure.

Harvests & Products Storage

When you open your storage and want to view the Harvests & Products section make sure that the background colour of that sections name is orange, if it is not, click on that sections name and the background colour of the name will change from brown to orange.

Example of some of the harvests and products a newer farmer could have:

• When you, or someone you hire, harvests, chops, fishes on your farms, with tools like the harvest tool, axe and fishing rod or any of the bigger tools, those products are automatically stored for you in the Harvests & Products section.
  
  
• Any harvests you earn when hired to work another farmers farms, your share also automatically goes to your Harvests & Products section.
  
  
• When you harvest your Animal buildings - Chicken Coop, Wool Shed, Dairy Shed, Rabbit Hutch, Stables - any eggs, wool, rabbit fleece, horse hair etc is also stored in the Harvests & Products section. Harvesting animals is not automatic, you have harvest your animal buildings yourself, when they are ready to harvest, either from the building on the farm or from the Facility Manager.
  
  Premium Feed Supplements to help make Premium Feed are not automatically stored. You have to Store them BUT when storing the Premium Feed that can be made in the Premium Fodder Factory that automatically gets sent to your Animal sheds on your farms. To see the amounts you have fore each type of animal building, move your mouse over the building to see the information.
  
  
• Products you make in your facilities, are not automatically stored. When you have made products in your facilities you have to click the "Store" button to send them to your storage.
  
  When making products in your facilities anything that you have in your Harvests & Products section that is needed to make a product will automatically be taken from that section to make it.
  
  If you make a product that can then be used to make another product you must store the finished product first so that it can then be used to make the next item.
  
  Example: To make bread in the bakery, you must have enough wheat in storage to make flour in the windmill, you can then make the flour. When the four is made you must store it from the windmill before it can be used to make bread in the bakery.
  
  
  Any products that you load into your own Service Facilities to earn you more profit than selling them at market are taken from your Harvests & Products storage.
  When you Cash out those types of facilities, anything that was Used is removed for you and and you are credited with coins.
  
  
• Any products you earn when you work farmers facilities are automatically sent to your storage. If you are working facilities in different browser tabs make sure that you reload the game when you have finished, so your Storage updates the amounts.
  
  
• Usage top left of the window tells you how full the Harvests & Products section is.
  You do not want this to get to 100% before you use what you have stored.
  
  
  More details including what ZIP is for and the filters top right of the window are used for are in the post titled Harvests & Products Storage Capacity and Filters later in this Chapter.

Item Storage

This section where you can store some items you are not using, like trees, flowers, decorations, buildings, seasonal decor, farm pass decor, animals etc.
As long as you have enough Item capacity to store them.

When you open your storage and want to view the Items section make sure that the background colour of that sections name is orange, if it is not, click on that sections name and the background colour of the name will change from brown to orange.

Example of only a few Items in Item storage:




Your Capacity and Usage of that Capacity for this section is shown top left of the window.

In most cases, each item will use one space, but there are exceptions.

In the example above, you can see this farmer has a total of 175 spaces and has used only 2 of them even though there are 7 different items showing.

• 1 space has been used for the 4 gifted trees (acacia, cinnamon, juniper and maple).
• 1 space is used for 1x apple tree.
• No spaces have been used for the cow and pig which are gifts as well as animals.

Clicking on the question mark next to the Capacity shows you information on what counts for a used space:



How Item Capacity is calculated and used is explained in more details along with information on the filters and search tool top right in Item Storage Capacity and Filters


WARNING! Always read the information popup when you store a facility.

If you are participating in the NCC (Neighbourhood Chains Contest) and you store a specific facility that is part of the contest that week you will abandon the contest for that week. There is no way to reverse that!

Placing a coin facility on a farm that already has same one on it does not show you a warning! There is a warning popup IF when you buy a new coin facility from the Store and that facility is already placed on that farm.

Identical facilities on the same farm DO NOT not produce more products. The second facility becomes decoration. Both facilities will show the same information of what is produced or stocked when opened, which means it doesn't matter which one you open to look in.

You will not be able to see that you have multiples of the same facility on the same farm in the Facility Manager as only one of them is actually producing or stocking items.

When placing a Farm Cash facility on a farm that already has that facility on it you do see a warning.

If you were to place a second Farm Cash facility on a farm by mistake and you return to that farm there is a warning that tells you about it.

Full details about duplicated Farm Cash facilities are in Chapter 13 What types of Facilities are there?
