Need construction or expansion items
Construction and expansion items, such as duct tape, planks, mallets, and marker stakes, can be obtained by harvesting crops, collecting products, or opening red tool boxes. You may also find them in the newspaper or in the roadside shops of your neighbors. We recommend checking these regularly to take advantage of any offers. If you’re unable to find enough, you can buy them with diamonds by tapping the “+” icon next to the item.
Mid-Level Rewards
At Level 15, you start earning special rewards for your progress in the game. The XP (experience) bar shows marks that indicate when you’ll receive these rewards. Keep harvesting, completing orders, and progressing in other areas to unlock these additional gifts.
How to Move Items on Your Farm
To move buildings, pens, fields, or trees, tap and hold the object until it starts flashing. Then, drag it to a free location on your farm. If the area turns red, it means the spot isn’t suitable. To select hidden items, tap and hold the part that’s visible to move it.
How Do Trees and Bushes Work?
Trees and bushes can produce fruit or berries three times. After that, ask your friends or fellow farmers for help to revive them for another harvest. If connected to Facebook, use the “megaphone” to get help. After the fourth collection, the tree or bush will die, and you’ll need to clear it for space.
How Does the Mine Work?
Starting at level 24, you can use TNT, pickaxes, shovels, or dynamite in the Mine to excavate ores like gold, silver, and platinum. These ores can be smelted in the Smelter to create bars. You may also find diamonds, so keep an eye on the newspaper and your friends’ shops for ore and bars.
How to Remove the Scarecrow
The Scarecrow helps by explaining features and tutorials in the game. Once you finish a tutorial, the Scarecrow will disappear until you discover a new feature. If you have further questions or difficulties with the tutorial, you can search the FAQs for more details.
Lost Items (Fields, Decorations, etc.)
Lost items on your farm are not gone, but may be hidden behind other objects. Try moving buildings or tapping on areas where the item might be behind, such as trees or fences.
How to Expand Your Farm
To expand your farm, you need to buy additional land slots once you reach level 22. Tap on the plot you want to expand, and it will show the required items: land deeds, mallets, and marker stakes. You can collect them by playing or buy them with diamonds.
Where to Buy Diamonds and Coins
Diamonds and coins can only be purchased through the in-game shop, available via iTunes or Google Play. Avoid third-party websites, as they are against our terms and may compromise your account security.
How Many Bees Can I Have?
Your farm starts with a tree that holds one beehive. As you gather nectar, you can add more beehives (up to 4) with 3 bees each, for a total of 12 bees. Ensure no hive is overcrowded, or you won’t be able to add more bees.
How to Get Diamonds
Diamonds can be earned by completing achievements, opening red toolboxes, leveling up, and mining ores. You can also buy them by tapping the “+” next to your diamond balance.
Decorative Animals
Frogs, foxes, birds, and other animals appear as decorations on your farm. They don’t serve any specific function and need free space to move around. Certain decorations can attract specific animals, such as a birdhouse for more birds or a pond for frogs.
How to Earn More Coins
Earn coins by completing truck orders, selling products in your Roadside Shop, or fulfilling orders for town visitors. You can also buy coins through the in-game shop.
Lumberjack for Hire
Starting at level 25, you can hire Greg, the lumberjack, to clear dead trees and bushes from your farm at a discounted diamond rate. Greg will chop down up to 20 dead plants at once.
Truck Help Feature
Request help with truck orders by tapping the exclamation mark on an order. You can get up to 4 requests a day—3 from global players and 1 from neighbors.
How to Get Fuel
Fuel is needed to move around the Valley. Get a free fuel spin daily. If you run out, you can complete tasks to earn sun points, which will give you additional fuel spins.
How to Get Tokens
Tokens are earned by completing Valley tasks. There are green, red, and blue tokens that can be used in the Valley shops. The first shop is available to everyone, while the second requires chickens to unlock.
How to Get Chickens
Chickens are found in road stops, daily quests, and group order requests. They are used to unlock the second shop in the Valley for exclusive rewards.
Daily Quests
Complete daily quests to earn mystery chests. These reset every 24 hours and offer valuable prizes.
How Does the Valley Map Get Populated?
Around 60 players populate each Valley map. If players stop playing, new ones will be added to keep the map active. You won’t see your Facebook friends, but neighbors and other random players will be included.
Valley Shops
There are two Valley shops. The first is available to everyone and sells expansion materials and other useful items. The second is unlocked by collecting chickens and offers exclusive rewards like unique decorations, diamonds, and boosters.
Supercell ID Decoration
By connecting your game to a Supercell ID, you can receive the Amoooozing Pig Rider statue as a free reward. This helps keep your farm safe while you play.
Transfer Farm from Android to Android
Link your farm to your Google+ account on both devices to play on two different Android devices. Follow the necessary steps in the game’s settings.
Transfer Farm from iOS to Android (or vice versa)
To transfer your farm between iOS and Android, use Facebook to link your farm. Log into Facebook on both devices, and follow the in-game instructions to connect the correct account.
How to Play Your Farm on a New Device
