Default How do I get Items in and out of Item Storage?

How do I get Items in and out of Item Storage?

There are several ways to get a single Item OR multiple Items in and out of your Item storage.
Generally you have to do them one at a time.
Some items you can do in bulk depending on the tools you own.

You will not be able to send animals to your Item storage, like cows that can give you milk, until you own your second farm.

To store a Single Item or just a few of them:
Click on the item you want to send to Item Storage, then in the menu click on Add To Storage


Examples:



If you change your mind about storing an item and there is no Close Menu option, you can still either use the Esc key on your keyboard OR click on the green man in your game bar to close the menu.

When you are new to the game and and don't have many Items in Item storage there is a warning popup that asks you to confirm what you are about to Store. This will be automatically disabled for experienced users (those who already have lot of things in their Item Storage).




To store larger amounts, without having to use the Add to Storage option on every Items menu:
Click on your Yellow toolbox to open it. Then in the 3rd column from the left click on the B]Add to Item Storage[/b] Tool to use it.

The tool will be picked up and then as you click on an item you want to store it will be sent to your Item storage as long as you have Item Capacity left to use.

Click on the green man to stop using the tool.

To send Items in Bulk to Item storage:
This can be done when you own the Tower Crane. When you click on the tool then click on an Item you will see a confirmation window and some options for what and how many you can store. This does not work with Farm Cash Items or facilities.

To move Animals from your farm to their buildings on that farm:

Click on your Yellow Toolbox to open it, look in the 3rd column from the left and click on the Add to Animal Building Tool to use it.
Then click on the click on the animals you want to send to the animal building that is on that farm.

Click on the green man to stop using the tool.

There must be enough room in the animal building to house the animals.
Maximum of 300 of each type for regular animal sheds, 600 of each type for super sheds.

To moving or buying animals in bulk and adding them to the appropriate buildings on the farm:
This can be done when you own the Herding Robot as long as there is room in the animal buildings for them.

Moving multiple Animals from Item Storage to their buildings on the farm:
You need to have enough space in the animal sheds on your farm to put them in.
  • Go to a farm that has animal sheds with space for animals.

  • Open your Item storage, and change the filter to Animals

  • Move your mouse over the box with the animal that you want to store into the shed and you will see a Move button.

  • Click on Move and the animals will go into the appropriate shed. IF you have a lot of animals, it will store as many animals as you have room for in the shed.


To get an Item out of storage:
First you must have at least that category showing in your games preferences.

If you can't remember what or exactly where any item is placed you can click on ALL in the Preferences window or add the check marks manually to show all Items like in the next picture.
If you make any changes to preferences, remember to click on the green check mark at the bottom of the preferences window to save the change.



AND you must have a clear spot on your farm where nothing else is occupying that space, preferably slightly bigger than the item you are trying to place.

Click on your Storage Icon to open your Storage.
Then click on the Items section to see your Items.
Find the Item in your Item storage then hover over the box of the Item and you will see Use, click Use to pick up the item.




When there is no room for the item to be placed the bottom of the item will be red.
When the item can be placed the bottom of the item is green.
Example: the barn on the left can not be placed, the barn on the right can be placed.




When you have more than one of the same item, as long as you have room to place them you can continue placing more of them, one at a time until you either run out of them to use, or you click on the green man to stop placing them.


For trees and flowers it is possible to plant those in multiples from storage in various different patterns when you own at least one of the Multiplanters.
