Family Farm Seaside: Community Tips

In Family Farm Seaside, joining a Community is a significant step toward expanding your gameplay options, unlocking unique rewards, and building stronger bonds with fellow players. One of the key features that enhance the experience of being part of a Community is the Community Town Office, which becomes available once your Community reaches level 2. The Town Office offers a variety of Community Boosts, which provide powerful effects across your Seaside, Island, and Sea Resort farms.

In this guide, we’ll dive into the benefits of joining a Community, how to participate in its activities, and how to utilize the various features such as Community Boosts, the Gachapon Machine, and the Community Exotic Store. We’ll also explore the key Community buildings and how to join or leave a Community, and much more.

What are Community Boosts?

Once your Community reaches level 2, the Community Town Office is unlocked, providing access to various Community Boosts. These boosts are special effects that can enhance different aspects of your farm, including the Seafood House, Volcano Power Production, and more. Here’s a breakdown of the boosts available:

1. Fisherman: Increases the drop rate of rare items from the Seafood House.
2. Explorer: Boosts the production of Volcano power.
3. Designer: Gives a chance to receive double items from the Hardware Store and Sawmill.
4. Pilot: Doubles the amount of Development Points (Dev Points) or Helicopter Bags received from Helicopter Orders.
5. Businessman: Increases the amount of Resort Points earned from Resort Orders.

Each boost needs to be unlocked by the Leader or Vice Leader using Community Gems. After being unlocked, you can use Reputation Medals to upgrade these boosts. The higher the upgrade level, the better the effects.

It’s important to note that Level 0 Boosts have no effect until they are upgraded with Reputation Medals. Additionally, if you leave a Community, your boosts will reset, so make sure to upgrade them while you’re part of a Community.

What are Community Gems and Reputation Medals?

As you participate in Community orders, activities, and challenges, you will earn two key resources:

• Community Gems: This is the Community’s currency. It is used for upgrading the Community level and refreshing the stock in the Community Exotic Store. Only Leaders and Vice Leaders can use Community Gems to upgrade the Community.
• Reputation Medals: These are personal rewards that you earn through completing Community orders and activities. You can spend these medals in the Community Exotic Store to purchase special items and machines.

The Benefits of Being in a Community

Joining a Community provides several advantages for players:

• Exclusive Crops, Machines, and Animals: Access unique items that can only be purchased in the Community Exotic Store.
• Community Chat: Chat with other Community members to share tips, strategies, and fun conversations.
• Gachapon Rewards: Earn TC rewards by participating in Gachapon draws after making RC purchases. Share these rewards with your Community members for extra benefits.
• Collaborative Orders and Achievements: Work together with other members on Community orders and achievements. Complete these tasks to earn Reputation Medals and Community Gems.

Community Buildings

In Water Town, there are five main buildings that support Community functions:

1. Town Hall: This is the central hub where you can manage the Community, check member lists, and change settings. You can also track the Community’s progress and view history.
2. Prestige Fountain: A building where Community members can contribute to achievements. When an achievement is completed, members earn Reputation Medals, and the Community earns Community Gems.
3. Activity Hall: The Activity Hall releases a weekly challenge for your Community. Members must produce specific products to complete the challenge. Rewards include Reputation Medals for individuals and Community Gems for the Community. Completing challenges may also grant extra Community Gems and a Gachapon.
4. Order Corner: This building provides daily personal orders that help players earn Reputation Medals and Community Gems. You get two orders per day.
5. Exotic Store: A special store that is only available in Water Town. Members can use Reputation Medals to buy consumables, new machines, and new animals. The Businessman brings in new goods every day, and higher-level Communities unlock more options in the store.

How to Join or Quit a Community

• Joining a Community: To join a Community, you must be at least level 26 and then tap on the boat in the Seaside Farm. You will see a list of available Communities with details such as their level and number of members. Communities can be open, by application, or closed. In open Communities, you can join directly. In others, the leader must approve your application.
• Leaving a Community: If you want to leave a Community, go to the Community Area and tap on your Community Level Icon or the Community Info icon. There, you will find the option to Leave the Community. Once you leave, there is a 24-hour quarantine before you can participate in any other Community activities.

How to Manage a Community

• Promoting and Demoting Members: As the Community Leader, you can promote regular members to Vice Leader or demote them back to regular members. To do this, go to the main building, tap on a member’s name, and choose either Promote or Demote.
• Leaving as a Leader: If you’re the Community Leader, you must be the last remaining member in the Community to leave. All other members must be expelled first.
• Inviting Members: Only Leaders and Vice Leaders can invite new players. To invite someone, tap the Settings button on the Community panel and go to Applications.

What is Gachapon and How Does it Work?

Gachapon is a reward system where you can earn TC after completing activities. It has three main types:

1. Gachapon from Felicia: Earned by completing Community activities. Members have a chance to win between 5-25 TC.
2. Gachapon from Community Members: Earned when players recharge RC or when other members recharge. You can draw from this machine to win 5-13 TC.
3. Advanced Gachapon: This is available when RC is recharged in higher amounts (160RC – 750RC). The prizes range from 8-40 TC.

Once a Gachapon is shared in the chat, it stays for 24 hours and disappears after 48 hours.

Building Refresh Times

• Activity Hall: Refreshes every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC.
• Order Corner: Refreshes daily at 00:00 UTC.
• Exotic Store: The Businessman leaves at 23:00 UTC daily and returns after an hour.
